Unfamiliar with Duran Duran beyond their radio hits, Cyndi discovered there was something compelling about the Big Thing and Liberty albums, and it wasn't long before she realized what that something was: Warren Cuccurullo. Meanwhile, two cousins, Cyndi Glass and Amie Rodarmel, were rediscovering Duran Duran from their high school days. Some Duran Duran fans were even openly hostile about Warren.
Still, most fan attention went to Simon, Nick and John, and even the two original members who had left. Interest in Duran Duran grew, and the "Tiger List," an email group for Duran Duran fans, was buzzing with talk of the television appearances, music videos, and another round of success for a band which had been written off by most. He had moved to London, set up his own recording studio in his house, and he held the band together to record The Wedding Album, which brought two comeback top 5 hits, "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone," both of which were largely his creation (musically). From 1986, when he was first hired to play some parts on the Notorious album, to the Big Thing and Liberty albums, to which he made significant musical contributions, he was largely ignored by many of the fans, which continued even though in 1989 he'd been made an official member of Duran Duran. He endured years of being ignored by many of the fans, which continued even when he was made an official band member and when he helped hold Duran Duran together. Warren Cuccurullo came into Duran Duran at a huge disadvantage, replacing Andy Taylor who was one of the original band members and beloved by its former teenage fan base. 1.4 Privacy: The Official Warren Cuccurullo Website (1998-2001).1.2 Privacy: The Warren Cuccurullo Fan Club / Fanzine (1993-1998).
