Duran Duran: 'Madonna has been copying us for years'

Contributed By: McKay Created On: Wednesday, 11 June 2008 Hits: 79 Duran Duran John Taylor of Duran Duran bassist has accused Madonna of copying their ideas by teamed up with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland as producers on her latest album, 'Hard Candy'. It's the same partnership that worked on Duran Duran's 2007 album 'Red Carpet Massacre', which entered the UK charts at number 44. The bassist said that he wasn't surprised to see Madonna employ both artists but claimed it was their idea. “It wouldn’t be the first time Madonna’s copied us. She’s been doing it for years,” he told the Daily Star. Taylor also revealed that Arctic Monkeys bassist Matt Helders has remixed their new song 'Skin Divers', which is out soon. “I spoke to him and he really wanted to play drums on our track so that’s what he’s done. He’s a nice lad, knows his stuff,” Taylor said. Share this article to: Comments Only registered users can write comments! 3.25 Copyright (C) 2007 Alain Georgette / Copyright (C) 2006 Frantisek Hliva.
