Answer:
the devils is the name of an english electronic pop band , formed by nick rhodes and stephen duffy .the first incarnation of duran duran in 1978 included rhodes as keyboardist , john taylor on guitar and duffy as songwriter/vocalist and bassist -lrb- along with simon colley -rrb- .this lineup performed live for almost a year before duffy and colley left the band .duffy moved on to a solo career and the lilac time , and duran duran eventually went on to fame with drummer roger taylor , guitarist andy taylor and singer simon le bon .in 1999 , duffy came across an old tape recording of a live duran duran concert from a 1979 show .shortly afterwards , rhodes and duffy met by chance at a fashion show , and began talking about the old music .they decided it might be fun to re-record some of those original , dark , art-school , pre-le bon duran duran songs .a few months later they took to the studio , using vintage analog instruments but modern production techniques to recreate the early duran duran sound .the lyrics remained unchanged .
