Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Start from the beginning: How old did Roger say he was when he started to play his instrument, during the press conference?

Answer: He didn't - Simon said something before he could answer.

Andy started off this joke about them learning how to use their "instruments." He said that he was 5, John said he was a late developer, Simon said he was born with his, Nick said he started playing when he was 17 and Roger didn't get a word in edgeways because of the comments the others were making.

2. Which two members swallowed some helium gas before going on stage?

Answer: Simon and Andy

Simon swallowed some first before saying (in a squeaky voice) "Is it working? I can't hear nothing." Andy then took the balloon from him and swallowed the rest of the gas before saying "Hello, good evening and welcome to our show," in a squeaky voice.

3. Who was woken up by room service and the documentary crew?

Answer: John

John opened up his room door, looking very tired, took one look at the camera and said "No way, not today." He then agreed to talk about the tour.

4. What did Simon say after saying that he wanted to pull down his trousers during the photo shoot they were about to do?

Answer: There'll be a story like "Simon Le Bon wears yellow underwear."

We never did find out if this comment is true or not...

5. True or False: While the band were singing "Is there something I should know", girls started to faint and had to be fanned down outside the arena.

Answer: True

You see loads of teenage girls crying and shouting at the band, many more trying to get onto the stage, but some girls were fainting and were escorted by the backstage crew to be fanned down.

6. What are the band wearing when they go back on stage at their first concert?

Answer: American football outfits

Nick and Andy start fooling around in them before going on stage. You get a good look at Roger topless as well! The shirts said "Duran Duran" on the back of them.

7. Approximately, how many people did Duran Duran play to overall during the tour?

Answer: 500,000

On the back of the video/DVD case it says this.

8. What is the last song you hear on the documentary?

Answer: Secret Oktober

"Secret Oktober" was the B-Side to "Union of the Snake" which was featured on the Number One album in the UK "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" which has now gone multi-platinum. "Union of the Snake" is also on the albums "Decade" and "Greatest."

Answer: They were so excited and hyper, they couldn't remember

They were still claiming they were their number one fans, but they couldn't remember the drummer or the lead singers' names. The security guard said "What's the lead singer called? Charlie Le Bon?" Charlie is one of Simon's nicknames. The girls got one backstage pass but we do not know if they got another two.

10. Finally, when asked for an autograph backstage, what does Simon say?

Answer: I can't remember my name, let alone sign it

John and Simon are in the dressing room when the girls ask. John laughs and signs while Simon is saying this.
