Most of Duran Duran's consistently bold and adventurous 2007 album Red Carpet Massacre was recorded in three sessions: the first with Timbaland, with a guest spot from Justin Timberlake, at the Manhattan Center Studios in New York; the second phase on the band's home turf, Sphere Studios in Wandsworth, London over Christmas 2006, presided over by Nate Hills and Jimmy Douglass. And the final burst at Metropolis Studios in West London, produced by Hills and Douglass in early ‘07. "We had to let go of most of our old ideas of what it means to be a band making this," notes bassist John Taylor, a point which is expanded by Nick Rhodes: "Most of our producers this time had never worked with a band before, and we'd never worked without a guitarist." "We really had to put our egos aside," adds Roger Taylor. "We've always been very self-contained in the past." All four band members agreed that they had never worked so hard and fast on any album as they did on Red Carpet Massacre. The results, however, speak for themselves. A stellar album that is daring and contemporary and yet quintessentially Duran Duran.
