‘Never Too Late’ & ‘Rio’ Side-By-Side
April 14th, 2008
Well looky here - someone has gone ahead and placed the new Hedley video for Never Too Late side-by-side with Duran Duran’s Rio - which we all now know was the source material for the Hedley vid.
It’s pretty impressive how it all matches up. Now were Duran Duran just ahead of their time? Or are Hedley just, um, behind…? I dunno. Hell, it doesn’t even matter. Just watch and enjoy:

I think the issue is that they are terrible in the fact they steal video ideas instead of thinking up new ones
-

-
this briliant!
-

Hedley is amazing and i thought that vidio was hilarious.

I don’t think it’s fair for you to say that they’re terrible because they “steal video ideas”. Duran Duran was one of the BIGGEST names in the 1980’s so for Hedley to even have the chance to re-create such an awesome video .. that’s pretty cool! “Rio” is a video the guys of Hedley grew up watching so making this video on their own was probably one of the best times of their lives!
Don’t put them down because of it.

FANTASIC VIDEO HEDLEY!!!!!!!!!!
looks great! you look great!
i love it!
way to pay tribute to a great 80’s band!
i even think it may be better than the original cuz of 2008 technology!!!
HEDLEY ROCKS! <3
-
I think it is cool that Hedley decided to re-create the Duran Duran video. It is a fun video and they put their own funny spin on it
Never too Late is an awesome song and Hedley once again has made an awesome video. -
making a tribute to another band is NOT “stealing a video” you idiots.
Hedley did an awesome job, they got every shot perfect. i dont think any other band could’ve done it better <3
-
Top Notch Video!!!
You guys look awesome as usual…song ROCKS!!!
Nice job re-creating Duran Duran’s RIO…
Love the comedy as well…and you guys are easy on the eyes
HEDLEY is IT!!!!!!!!!!! <3
-
I LOVE Rio! In fact, I was just listening to Duran Duran the other day…the entire discography!
-
This video is perfect. They didn’t steal the idea, they’re just remaking it. They made it obvious that the video is a remake of Rio, so that’s not stealing.
Good on the boys for doing this. I’m sure they had a blast making it!
One of the best videos yet!!
-
this video is AMAZING! its hilarious :]
they look like they had funn haha.
love this vid. love hedley <3333
-
this video is AMAZING! and the guys are too!!
We love you hedley
-
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! all four of them look incredibly amazing and hot and good looking and they sound incredible! this video i think is better then Duran Duran’s..sorry..but Hedley is awesome! i love you guys!!!!!
-
i LOVE the new video.. i think its amazzzing.. they look like they had a great time making it.. <3 its not stealing its re-making.. =)
-
I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t really like the video, but after watching it a few times, I’ve seriously grown to love it. !
-
this video is AWESOME!!! i think that it is wicked they re-did a duran duran video, that takes some guts. I am rather proud of them!!!!!
-
Hedley is not the first band to remake a music video…lots of artists do it, but Hedley did such an AMAZING job at re-creating it frame for frame that it’s more recognizable to everyone. Artists are doing covers of old songs all the time, so why should it matter if they remake music videos?
-
LOL Best Video Idea EVER!!!
haha
not many people can make a video look exactly like the old ones!
Props boys!
-
the boys did an amazing job on this,
buck naked was pretty amazing too
-
Just cuz they re-did a old video does not mean they stole. Artists do this all the time for other artists they respect or admire and because hedley was in the tropics and wanted to make a fun video to go along with a great song, good for them! it turned out great and its a great tribute to the original.
one of my favourite songs for sure!! LOVE these guys!
-
Everyone is going to have different opinons, thats what makes the world.
BUT I gotta sayy
Friggen Awksomee Viddeoo! Loveess it.
-
amazing job on the video boys!
i thought it was great!! <3
-
i’m pretty sure the guys from hedley didn’t steal the video. their label i’m assuming wouldn’t allow it. They probably had to get permission from duran duran’s label to redo it. and in my humble opinion it is way better than the original and they have a great humour about the whole thing. it’s one of my favourite videos from them.
-
HEDLEY IS THE BEST BAND EVER- ENOUGH SAID
-
well first off, these boys are amazing no matter what anyone has to say about them, if you want to come on here and be immature and say they’re stealing people’s video’s, you’re wrong on many parts, like steve said, these boys grew up watching duran duran, so them recreating the video is just them reliving their past, having fun doing it, they’re the best band out there in my eyes, you guys should stop with all the bad remarks since i don’t see you guys in any bands making it somewhere, and always remember: “If you don’t like Hedley, that’s too bad. Lots of other people do.”
-
holy cow, Jacob’s ass is so hot. I love Hedley. This video is the bomb.
-
This is a great video.
Definitely one of my favourites.
It’s amazing how they matched it up PEFECTLY frame for frame,
just amazing.

I love this video soo much! Amazing job guys =)
And, they didnt “steal” the video, they re-made it, they even said there selves that it was gonna be done identically, shot by shot. So if your gonna trash talk Hedley, you gotta find out all the other bands thats re-made vidoes too and try to trash talk them.. good luck with that haha.
-
All I can say is simply amazing : )
-
well i think this Video is AMAZING!! the hedley boys are great at what they do and they would never steal the idea for the video, Great job again Hedley another amazing video your videos always blow me away
-
You guys are just jealous that they have more talent than you. Hedley rocks and you just cant take that they liked the Rio vid enough to redo it and make it amazing
-
These guys are awesome.
Even if you don’t like the video, which is hard to believe, the music speaks for itself. The group has amazing sound, so if you don’t like the video, just shut your freaking eyes and listen to the music.
-
Wtf?
People that are saying crap about Hedley stfu.
Hedley is amazing, They re-did the ‘Rio’ video, and they made it way better!
Hedley’s version of the video makes you wanna watch it again and laugh your ass off, mean while Duran Durans version sucks..
-
i absolutely love these boys with all of my heart and the never too late video is hilarious. my mom who is a huge fan of duran duran and hedley thought the video was amazing and i love it.
-
i absolutely loooooove this video <3
Hedley is my favorite band in the whole world, they are awesome. I think they did an awesome job on their version of the video.. and like Kar said.. even if you do not like the video.. listen to they lyrics.. they speak for themselves.. ahhah i cannot tell you what they mean to me on here.. but yeah. Hedley’s awesome, this song and video is awesome and amazing.
-
k Hedley did a fucking amazing job - as always(L)
-
I absolutely love that video! I think they did an amazing job on it. I agree with Kar and Jennifer, Just listen to the lyrics instead of bitching about it, and you’ll see how amazing that song really is. so really back off, Hedley is incredible and if you cant see that then thats too bad for you .
-
Never Too Late is one of my favourite songs from the CD and the video is so much fun! It took a lot of effort to rework & redo the Rio video and they did a fantastic job. It puts me in such a good mood everytime I see it! I’m sure it will be nominated for next year’s MMVAs!
-
If you’re going to remake a great video from the 80s, at least have the decency not to ruin it by setting it to such a horrible song!!

Am I missing something? Why is this funny? How hard is it to make a music video over again?
Song’s cool though.
