Buzz Foto & Duran Duran 1978

Look how skinny Simon Le Bon is in this vintage photograph!

This photo was done almost 30 years ago at the Hyatt House on the Sunset Strip. That was the place where all of the British rockers wanted to stay and for a good reason. It was cool, hip and had 24 hour incredibly beautiful groupies in the lobby of the hotel. Not too sure if there even are groupies today. Duran Duran were there for their first concert in the USA to be held at The Roxy on The Strip. Hardly anyone had a clue who they were, but we knew that the market for their photos in Japan was enormous. Funny thing was that John Taylor knew who we were from all of our photo credits in Music Life Magazine. Bless his heart. We took the photos on the roof of the hotel and then piled them into our car for a tour of the town. Today, if you tried to do a photo shoot with a hot pop group like Jonas Brothers of Miley, you would have paparazzi hanging out of helicopters. Incredible what what can happen in thiry years!
