These guys are great , no hint of ego's , the respect they have for each other is... just so inspiring . They seem like really nice humble guys .. Duran Duran rocks
Roger Taylor aged beautifully! He was not that noticeable during their heydays but now he is the most handsome of the 4 members minus the lead guitarist, Andy Taylor. John Taylor was the coolest with the way he carried himself--so suave. Simon Le Bon's voice is still as fresh as the day they became very famous.
Nick has only just started showing the slightest hints of aging. When I was a teen I thought he was the prettiest man I ever saw and I'm sure that caused more than a little confusion with the old sexuality. Almost as confusing as when you were told that all the members of the band Poison were actually MEN!!
I so agree Maria lourdes Vitales. I think that it is so incredibly funny that the most overlooked guy in the entire band (Roger Taylor) ends up being the best looking 40 years later? Hysterical! But all joking aside he is actually the type of guy I have always been attracted to most of my life.
Absolutely! Your comment sumZ up my feelings regarding Duran Duran perfectly!!! They were looked at like a bunch of pretty boyZ and fashion statements, however, they can, aZ I've discovered in the last three months, really, really PLAY!!! Roger Taylor iZ one of the worldZ great drummers, Nick Rhodes' keyboard playing iZ freakin pioneering. John Taylor iZ one incredible bassist, aZ well. Simon LeBon haZ one of the best voices ever, in my opinion. They're an incredible band. I am completely addicted to listening to them. And from a drummerZ POV, the songs are a real joy to play. 😆😆😆☕☕☕🥁🥁🥁
John Taylor is without a doubt top ten among all-time bass players. Just amazing...he incorporated so much funk out of the 70's into DD. They really are such a talented band musically, WITH Andy. Not a weak link among them...
Duran Duran is one of the worlds best bands of all time. They are Timeless. But personally. I hate the whole Rock n Roll Hall of Fame crap. It means nothing to me. RnR HoF has inducted many crap artists in the past. Duran Duran needs a category’s of their own.
It is. It is deeper, but that comes with age. He can still hit notes very clearly though, while some singers at his age cannot. Either he has exceptional vocals, or the band hace been clever enough to write music to really fit his voice.
@@rocksteady9115 why are you even here in the first place? You must have thought something of the band for you to stop and comment right? You are a freaking hypocrite man. Bugger off why don't you if you hate these guys so much! These guys are world-renowned who are much beloved, FAMOUS AND RICH. I bet you're still living in your mama's basement with your cat all by your lonesome. Pathetic dude. Get OVER yourself!🙄🙄
He’s nowhere near an underrated Bass player. He is well known, and recognized by many artist, producers, the music industry. And by all type of genres. No he is not underrated.
@@Cviteriz if you watch the Power Station documentary you will see Bernard Edwards coaching him. He could never have played at that level without the Chic man. Not also just had it confirmed he didn't play on the PS first album. It was session musician Tony Levin that played on that album. He dropped out of the second album in a state apparently unable to play and Bernard Edwards played and wasn't part of that project.
These guys rock, I love a band that sings their songs live the same way as the CD, and in my opinion, they sound just as good today as they did in the 80's and 90's it's ashame I will never see them in concert . Wish there were more bands like this today for our kids to listen to.
This is the band that inspired me to become a musician over 35 years ago. I play bass. And I am HEAVILY influenced by John Taylor. Also Geezer Butler, Geddy Lee, Tony Franklin and Steve Harris. Metal played with a John Taylor style....lol And I've never gotten to see them either. Sad.
@@iamalpharius9483 many metal head idolize John Taylor. He's the one that regarded as a real musician in the band by musicians . John is amazing bass player
@@justinwaltz6007 hell, every member of Duran Duran were arguably some of the best at what they did in that genre. Simon Le Bon did every vocal tambor from pop to almost metal with the Wild Boys and Of Crime and Passion.....but John Taylor just stuck out with those chops......like a master of the style in those young years.
@@iamalpharius9483 to be fair, simon is out of tune on wild boys. His voice doesn't cut it for rock songs, he's more fit for pop song. John Taylor is the one that stands out in the band, a master with his own style. Although the other Taylors were also good, and warren is one hell of a guitar player.
Saw Duran Duran in concert a couple of years ago in Seattle and they sounded amazing! Last time I saw them in concert before that was 1984. Wow, time flies. ❤️
I saw Duran Duran in Seattle too for their Paper Gods album. It was always a top Bucket List wish for me to see them since I had been a fan since the '80s. I saw them at the fair and then again at the Xfinity in Everett. I had to fly down from Alaska for these concerts, and I hope to do it again one of these days!
Andy Taylor was a good guitar player I miss hearing him play his guktor in duran duran his replacement is good but not as good as andy was. It by a long shot
They were dismissed as pop fluff because the teenyboppers loved them. But that's not the case at all. Tremendous musicianship. Maybe some day they will get their due? Criminal that Whitney Houston is in the Rock hall and they are not. How does that make sense?
Whitney Houston deserves being in the RNR HOF her voice is the best in popular or rock music. I DO hear what you're saying. l love Duran Duran; they definitely belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Remember the HOF is very political.
@@SANDYMILLER23 Can you name a single actual rock song that Whitney ever sang. Brilliant pop artist but not rock n' roll. DD definitely has some rockers in their catalog. She is but one example of course, The issue is with the Hall and artists considered, not the artists themselves. . .
Like all proper bands they have had their ups and downs. That's because they are a real band made up of real people. Real people make mistakes and sometimes get it wrong but that's part of life. Duran Duran have never been boring and they have a greatt musical legacy.
Can't believe how beautifully Simon still sings. He obviously works hard to keep singing so well. Many older pop stars become an embarrassment as they get old but these guys remain timeless.
OMG Late Bar was just so fantastic! So good to hear it live. As well as one may know the history of their beginnings, never tire of hearing it from the horses' mouths.'
Sounds like THE STUDIO version they got my vote they got vote on a good LIVE band Hungry like the 🐺 in 1982 will ALWAYS be my favorite when I was 10 Nick Rhodes is a keyboard perfectionist I miss the 80s black Conservative 80s freak 1980-1988
Duran Duran for me is the Beatle of the 80s one of my favorite band of all time always listen to them when riding my motorcycle giving me all the REFLEX that i need. LOVE you guys just an awesome band long live DURAN DURAN.
Even without looking, it can only be Duran Duran music! A true DD fan will hear Andy Taylor is missing. They're undoubtedly one of the best 80s band! Wow, Roger Taylor drums and John Taylor bass are awesome! Love the Simon dance struts! So they're stylish and glam, but definitely talented deserve every credit due to the band!
@@neivacarvalho2931 He's become the 2nd guitar player with Reef and he writes with them as well. When live music gets back to normal maybe he will be on stage with them.....?
Simon looks younger than anyone else in that band. Sounded gorgeous. Something pure, powerful, attractive voice he has. Even though I am a fan of JT for 3 decade I adore you Simon.♥♥♥
김미화 I think that's because Simon took better care of himself and did way less drugs than most of the band (excluding Roger who didn't do drugs), but esp less than JT.
Simon looks amazing!! Makes me feel not so afraid of turning 40 this year, hahaha! Remember though, how absolutely beautiful Nick used to be? He had that insanely gorgeous smile, you don't see that on him anymore. ☹️
faux pas You say that yet he's been playing keyboards/synths successfully for decades and coming up with brilliantly distinctive hooks since the beginning hasn't he
Yes. I watched a video where this one guy compared Nick to a Persian cat. It was HYSTERICAL! He even did an impression of Nick as a Persian cat? I LOL'ed at that when I first heard it! 😂😂😂😂😂 Here is the video if you want to check it out. He also did a part two for it. So make sure to watch both videos for it. ruclips.net/video/gL_VB1_Tj7c/видео.html&lc=z22fy3xomom1x1lmkacdp43aybrgthm2c5gjypdmkvxw03c010c
Hot Damn! Love, love, love me some Roger Taylor. He's so cooool and has always been smokin' hot😜 I wish Nick and JT would let Rog speak more though, lol. Love Duran Duran and their fantastic songs!
Saw them at Brighton Dome on 3rd June 1981, I was hooked from then on.... we waited back stage and got to meet them and they signed my program and we had pics taken. I was conscious that me and my mate would miss our train home. Roger, my favourite, wrote in program “Hope you catch your train ok” before signing....... no, we missed the train and walked all the way home from Brighton to Redhill!! But it was worth it !! Still love em now
underated drummer definately especially on songs like khanada , careless memories and anyone out there good post new wave band not so keen on anything after rio appart from the wedding album good band
The coolest part of this program is the reaction shots - seeing the real admiration and respect they each have for each other and what each individual brought to the creativity table...
Finally... someone else who specifically refers to Rog!!! In my humble opinion, he iZ one of the worldZ greatest drummerZ...ever! I feel like he iZ slightly underrated in the drum 🥁 world. But when it comeZ to this genre of music, no one else haZ the technique, style, finesse, and solidity that Rog displays 👍😆😆🥁🥁🥁
totally agree. dd is Andy nick Roger Simon and John. but towards the end I don't think Andy was happy. He was link the hidden musician! !!! I also am a fan since 1980 experiencing many concerts. .. One of the lucky ones! !!
Omg Simon is still so gorgeous!! He's been my favorite band member since I first laid eyes on the band when I was 12! I'm now 47 and he's still just as perfect as ever! He's still got those beautiful pipes, and the band still sound amazing!!! Best band ever!!!
I feel the same as you! I was about 12 when I was a hard core fan, and a friend who was a rocker made fun of me for being a Duran Duran fan and I changed up to being a metal/rock fan. Was I so silly or what? I am now 48 and once again a hard core Duran Duran fan! They never stopped releasing albums, so screw my friend who made fun of me, lol Best music ever!
The only band that . I truly ever loved DD still look great and still sound great. They strike me as being really cool and down to Earth guys. Keep on going guys. I love you, from a country girl from Indiana USA. Thank you. You guys were always more than just good looks to me. I have always really enjoyed your music and breakthrough videos.
For years i didn't listen to this band, but i have to recognize that they came in a particular period during the thacherisme and after the punk crysis mixing differents genres from punk, to electronic being inspired by kraftwerk, from the funky-disco of chic and so, for me, they are an elegant and clever group which brought colours in the '80, and still today, and for a new wave/ pop band it's not easy, they give freshness and heart to the music...
I feel in love with the song The Chauffeur. I drew a picture how I would imagine the song well before I saw the music video. If I didn't have a record store to shop in that had music overseas I would have never heard of these songs until now a days.
The first time Duran ever toured the US, it was before anyone knew them here and I was lucky enough to drive up to Hollywood and buy tickets for their show, 20 minutes before the show...
I love the bit about Steve setting little traps for Roger to play! I actually grew up learning to play by listening to Roger's drumming, and then Notorious came out and I was like WTF? How do i play this? The little turnaround fill on American Science still haunts me to this day...
Kenny Barnes: Um, yeah...he clearly knows that. It's exactly what he was talking about...how much harder Steve's parts on American Science were to play than Roger's stuff.
My favorite 80’s band Duran Duran! They’re underrated lyricists, not the usual “I love you, you love me.” They’re also vastly underrated rock musicians. Seven And The Ragged Tiger alone qualifies them to the rock hall of fame.
I hadn’t realised just how much I enjoyed DD. Skin Trade in my top 2 with save a prayer, the chauffeur, Rio and seventh stranger😂 isn’t John Taylor just the coolest.......😎
wish i could have loved with such confidence as Simon must have done with the girl that led to The Chauffeur. I will always borrow vicariously from this song, the way i intended or dreamt i could love a woman in this lifetime. Thank you Simon
I still adore these guys up to now.. I wish they will sing my favorite New Moon on Monday and Is there Something I should Know and do a concert in the New York,USA. ..Duranie Forever...
I started listening to Duran Duran in 1983.. Loved them always. First concert 1984 at MSG. Just saw them again in NYC and Barcleys Center. They are still going strong . Always xo
These guys were thought of as talentless pretty boys by many. They are all such proven, excellent musicians. Their live performances, from day one, have been fabulous. I have been a huge fan since day one.
As a Duran fan from the start - their playing is great here - but they might as well have no guitarist. That guitar is so turned down - zero contribution to the live sound. These are the not so subtle digs at Andy Taylor. If they had Andy in the band - there would be no need for John Frusciante or any other guitarist on the Paper Gods album. Andy Taylor is the best!
Martin Taylor Yes one example of where he is really missed is when they play Rio. And his magic liquid electric melody is not there flying through the chorus. It just doesn't sound as good without it, which is real shame as it's where all their parts come together perfectly as one.
I have love Duran Duran since I was 5 years old. Now 41 years later they are still and will always be my NUMBER 1!!! They don't age and sound as AWESOME as ever!!! Keep Rockin Guys!!! John Taylor has always been my Fav but all of you are AMAZING!!! Thank you for all the years of incredible music!!!
In retrospect their best live song is their first, Planet Earth. I’ve seen them live enough times to know that when intro hits the crowd comes alive. It still slams with that disco drum beat and bass. Can’t wait to see them again.
The Chauffeur has aged so well. It's one of those timeless masterpieces that's gonna be appreciated for generations to come.
Agreed. Still one of my favorite Duran songs.
It's so hauntingly beautiful. And it was inspired by a sexy Israeli like me!
These guys are great , no hint of ego's , the respect they have for each other is... just so inspiring . They seem like really nice humble guys .. Duran Duran rocks
Absolutly true.
I agree. Well said
All are geniuses
Pure gentlemen.

23rd April 1987, Duran Duran, King's Hall - Belfast. No bands came to the north of Ireland during the Troubles. Duran did.
Very underrated band Duran, they weren’t just a bunch of pretty boys they could really play...
Underrated? They're still a big name band even nowadays. There's tons of other great bands who are *_TRULY_* underrated and overlooked.

I'll never get tired of DURAN DURAN there great and always will be.
‘they’re’ great
They are like a fine wine they get better with age!!! I never get tired of seeing them live in concert
they are still great live!! that is why they are a great band. The need to be in the Rock and roll hall of fame
Absolutely!!

John Taylor, the most underrated bassist
He’s nowhere near an underrated Bass player. He is well known, and recognized by many artist, producers, the music industry. And by all type of genres. No he is not underrated.
I've been saying that for YEARS-- thank you. "The Sound of Thunder" is difficult af, guy was all over the scale.
My apologies all, but John Taylor in the history underrated bassist. The Power Station?, is the best example “ underrated bassist. :-) big hug all..

I luv this song Planet Earth .Simon beautiful voice and the guys are awesome
The Chauffeur, what a brilliant live version...
Rob Golding ..actually has no difference from the original version..indeed , i was expecting some nice stuff from John Taylor with a fretless.

mgparis was he the one that played Madonnas boyfriend in Borderline video?
@@olgaurueta542 no it wasn't
John Taylor made those jazz shoes iconic.
Miss Andy...especially his backing vocals...
People forget his vocals...that and his guitar gave DD the slight rock edge in their music, balancing out Nick's keyboards.
Yeah it's a shame he chose not to stick with them after they reunited. But what can you do?
I miss Andy.
Me too. Wonder why he didn't stay with the band when they got back together.
Andy should be there
The older I get the more fantastic this band get
That's one plus bout ageing
Even without looking, it can only be Duran Duran music! A true DD fan will hear Andy Taylor is missing. They're undoubtedly one of the best 80s band! Wow, Roger Taylor drums and John Taylor bass are awesome! Love the Simon dance struts!

Whatever Andy does now, I still miss him playing on DD, it's that rebel touch.

Gorgeous. Thank you fort this video. Makes me rediscover why I loved them so much in my early teens 💕💗

Omg Simon is still so gorgeous!! He's been my favorite band member since I first laid eyes on the band when I was 12! I'm now 47 and he's still just as perfect as ever! He's still got those beautiful pipes, and the band still sound amazing!!! Best band ever!!!
I totally agree with you!!
I feel the same as you! I was about 12 when I was a hard core fan, and a friend who was a rocker made fun of me for being a Duran Duran fan and I changed up to being a metal/rock fan. Was I so silly or what? I am now 48 and once again a hard core Duran Duran fan! They never stopped releasing albums, so screw my friend who made fun of me, lol Best music ever!
best band of the 1980's-now in my opinion x
The only band that . I truly ever loved DD still look great and still sound great. They strike me as being really cool and down to Earth guys. Keep on going guys. I love you, from a country girl from Indiana USA. Thank you. You guys were always more than just good looks to me. I have always really enjoyed your music and breakthrough videos.
For years i didn't listen to this band, but i have to recognize that they came in a particular period during the thacherisme and after the punk crysis mixing differents genres from punk, to electronic being inspired by kraftwerk, from the funky-disco of chic and so, for me, they are an elegant and clever group which brought colours in the '80, and still today, and for a new wave/ pop band it's not easy, they give freshness and heart to the music...
The best versions ever of all my favourites!!! How they sound!!"
Amazing performance, and great quality upload! Please could you upload Part Two if you have it? It would be so good to see it. Thanks.
Queen were not appreciated - Duran Duran will take their rightful place in a sequence of exquisite talent & performance proven over time.
my muneco roger Taylor
They still look amazing after all these years!!!! They have aged very well. HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!
They are so elegant!
Awesome!! Thanks for the upload!! :) 3
I honestly think that the boys are at there best.
37:45 : PURE PLEASURE EVERYBODY ENJOY !!!
my favorite band since I was 11
All kinds of fabulousness!! Thanks for uploading!!
You could tell that they really enjoy performing their songs. Simon looks great! He has aged well as well as Roger.
I feel in love with the song The Chauffeur. I drew a picture how I would imagine the song well before I saw the music video.
If I didn't have a record store to shop in that had music overseas I would have never heard of these songs until now a days.
WOW!!!THEY STILL LOOKS HANDSOME😍😍😍
LONG LIVE FIOR DURAN DURAN
The first time Duran ever toured the US, it was before anyone knew them here and I was lucky enough to drive up to Hollywood and buy tickets for their show, 20 minutes before the show...
I love the bit about Steve setting little traps for Roger to play! I actually grew up learning to play by listening to Roger's drumming, and then Notorious came out and I was like WTF? How do i play this? The little turnaround fill on American Science still haunts me to this day...
izbro Steve Ferrone plays on the notorious record.
Kenny Barnes: Um, yeah...he clearly knows that. It's exactly what he was talking about...how much harder Steve's parts on American Science were to play than Roger's stuff.
My favorite 80’s band Duran Duran! They’re underrated lyricists, not the usual “I love you, you love me.” They’re also vastly underrated rock musicians. Seven And The Ragged Tiger alone qualifies them to the rock hall of fame.
That was awesome. Thanks for posting!
I saw duran duran in concert in Brighton in December 2015 it was fantastic 👍
Skin Trade is clearly one of the best songs I've heard live. Ever.
I hadn’t realised just how much I enjoyed DD. Skin Trade in my top 2 with save a prayer, the chauffeur, Rio and seventh stranger😂 isn’t John Taylor just the coolest.......😎
These guys made it to the top so much respect
wish i could have loved with such confidence as Simon must have done with the girl that led to The Chauffeur. I will always borrow vicariously from this song, the way i intended or dreamt i could love a woman in this lifetime. Thank you Simon
Fascinating! A real revelation about this band. I have a whole new appreciation for their depth and versatility
How many times does NR & JT have to explain how DD first started? 🤦🏻♀️ Their patience is incredible.
These guys look better at 60 than I do in my late 30s
Yeah Let's see him play this....and he does! Because he's Roger Taylor! He's a machine!
such a shame the woman singer is out of hearing
John siempre tan fino y elegante... Y esa vozzz... Tan divino!!! Tiene unos dientes como de ratoncito...
I still adore these guys up to now.. I wish they will sing my favorite New Moon on Monday and Is there Something I should Know and do a concert in the New York,USA. ..Duranie Forever...
I started listening to Duran Duran in 1983.. Loved them always. First concert 1984 at MSG. Just saw them again in NYC and Barcleys Center. They are still going strong . Always xo
Duran Duran are the epitome of elegance, in every way
Thanks so much for posting, I'd never seen this before and it's fascinating!
Simon le bon, kevin spacey, amd ricky gervais must be triplets separated at birth, for sure!
These guys were thought of as talentless pretty boys by many. They are all such proven, excellent musicians. Their live performances, from day one, have been fabulous. I have been a huge fan since day one.
#Lovinghowthisinterviewdelvesintotheawesomeworld of @duranduran from the #songbookspecial in 2014 !! 💜💝💗💖
As a Duran fan from the start - their playing is great here - but they might as well have no guitarist. That guitar is so turned down - zero contribution to the live sound. These are the not so subtle digs at Andy Taylor. If they had Andy in the band - there would be no need for John Frusciante or any other guitarist on the Paper Gods album. Andy Taylor is the best!
Martin Taylor Yes one example of where he is really missed is when they play Rio. And his magic liquid electric melody is not there flying through the chorus. It just doesn't sound as good without it, which is real shame as it's where all their parts come together perfectly as one.
it's not his fault, they mixed him down in the mix
Where is Andy??
I have love Duran Duran since I was 5 years old. Now 41 years later they are still and will always be my NUMBER 1!!! They don't age and sound as AWESOME as ever!!! Keep Rockin Guys!!! John Taylor has always been my Fav but all of you are AMAZING!!! Thank you for all the years of incredible music!!!
In retrospect their best live song is their first, Planet Earth. I’ve seen them live enough times to know that when intro hits the crowd comes alive. It still slams with that disco drum beat and bass. Can’t wait to see them again.
Late bar live. Theyre on fire. Love it.
