@pete smyth just because he wear glasses doesnt mean he was a nerd and doesnt change the fact that he's an incredible bass player/musician and one of the most beautiful man on the planet. what is it with wearing glasses has to do with that? jealous much?
John Taylor had been an am amazing bassman for over 40 years and will continue to do so and continue to WOW the audience's all over the world Happy 60th birthday 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Listening and watching John in this video has given me a change of opinion of him. He is not only HOT but is interesting to listen to. I thought he would still be out with different women etc but it is great he has settled down.
Loved the book. A great insight into the workings of DD. Feel slightly guilty though having been a massive fan, thinking that I may have played a part (all be it small) in John's addictions.
Andy Taylor was not liked by anyone in the band and John was just following the golden rule, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything". The fact he left Andy out, when he could have blasted him, means John acted as any gentleman should.
christschool I'm surprised. I heard that Andy and John remained friends, even though Andy sued the band back in the 80's. Andy left again after rejoining the group for the reunion. I think the bank said something about not getting along with him. I guess that may have strained the relationship between him and John.
SHERRIE WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU????? YOU WOULD LOVE THIS.. I MISS YOU EVERY DAY! NOT ONE DAY GOES BY I DON'T THINK OF YOU. SUCH AWESOME MEMORIES HERE WITH JOHN.

Cannot disagree more. I'm a bassist, and trust me -- JT was a solid player. Very unique blend of staccato/ghost note playing with some innovative syncopation within the lines.
Oh, I must disagree. I play bass and a study of "Rio", for example, is a discovery in lofty chromatic ascents and root-5 motion. I know of few pop bassists whom I would categorise as so capable of such dense syncopation and precise articulation.
Reading Andy Taylor's "Wild Boy" book right now and I'm mid-way [Very awesome autobiography so far!]. Next up will be John Taylor's "In The Pleasure Groove"...
@@cheville2001 I read both books. While John's book was more candid and discreet in same way, he opened up in a lot of topics. He never made any bad comments about the other members whereas Andy's book, although I enjoyed it and yes it had a lot of juicy information about John and Co, I find that's what Andy focused the most: to dish and make nasty comments about the other members of the band ( except Roger) and Nick's girlfriend.
@ MASTERUDY SENSE - What are you talking about? If you'd actually heard their first album you'd appreciate what everyone else is referring to. His playing is superb...if you understand music at all that is?
You must be joking, ever since John Taylor worked with Nile Rodgers his bass playing has been spot on. =1986 voted best bassest. YdFQqlvde8U (even Nile was proud of JT)
totally agree with you all someone has to do is listen to Power Stations 'Living in Fear' cd and say he wasn't a good player. For me Andy and John were DD.
As a huge JT-fan myself, i'm wondering, how did JT combine his alcohol-abuse in the 80's with his popstar-image then? Because as long as i can remember, he didnt had the image of an "drugs/alcohol-abusing popstar" back in the day. Did he really drank/use drugs that much???
dweezil thomas i mean, i love the fact that he's sober now. But never expected him to be an addict though. Still got to read the book though. Sound like an interresting story.
dweezil thomas well we have the internet now and people spread the word easily if a popstar has been doing any sort of drugs. even if it is just a one off thing. and so many people were doing drugs, so it was normal for people to do. john said he felt so rockstar at one stage that he snorted coccaine through hundred pounds bills. it was just the rockstar lifestyle.
dweezil thomas the book is great because it talks about what it was like form him growing up and the club scene, how new romanticism kicked off. nd just generally the industry and how he felt throughout his career in the 80s. its just such a good book. written so well.
He almost looks shy. He is gorgeous ❤. In the 80s I never really noticed him, even though I lived them. Now he think he is the most beautiful guy ever! ❤❤❤
I heard it from a good source that JTaylor didn't play all bass on the first album, a sessions player did. JT then had to learn the bass parts for live gigs, which he did very, very well. The great thing about DD is they could have been just another teen band playing stupid/simple music. But they worked hard to be respectable players, wrote distinct, multi-layered parts adding dimensions that most fans don't know exist, & Simon's harmonies are counter/support-melodies that are ingenious. =-) ♯♫
John is very funny, cute, and talented. I want to see DD, I have to one day soon. I think he's wrong about the ages of consent ( I know its the 80s) but those are the drinking ages not the ages of consent because in America the ages of consent vary as well from 14 - 18. I know were sort of prudish but not that prudish because after 18 you're considered an adult everywhere. I know that 21 is the legal of drinking everywhere now too.
They're not being rude, just bantering with him. Being British himself, John is fully used to British banter which is really playful and near the knuckle - he was like that himself with the other boys in Duran Duran. Trust me, that man has never been afraid to give as good as he gets in interviews, in the 80s he was always honest and straight to the point, or edgy with his comments and humour. He himself admits to being a big talker and open with people. I could tell he really enjoyed being in this interview and playing off the ladies with humour.
John Taylor was, and still is, the coolest member of the band by far. As talented as he is beautiful!
Trust me, this guy is a fabulous musician. One of the best bass players of his generation
I accept all his things, whitout any kind of problem!!!
#JohnTaylor
sorry... without!
@pete smyth just because he wear glasses doesnt mean he was a nerd and doesnt change the fact that he's an incredible bass player/musician and one of the most beautiful man on the planet. what is it with wearing glasses has to do with that? jealous much?

What an angel omg...
My 13 yr old self still loves him
Well he is 52 y/o now. He's still very, very handsome. Despite the excess, he aged quite well.
He is hilarious! Love his sense of humor!
Yes indeed, so engaging and totally endearing! Could listen to him all day.
Bass God that's so well written and well spoken. The man is fookin' genius . . .
My very first crush, at ten years... still my crush 💜
Great bass player one of the finest in Pop/Rock,Seems to be a very nice man about is sobriety and life. Best to you John
I'm still in love with John , hes flustered all those "loose " women haha
I think he's great! What a remarkable guy!!
He's got a much better sense of humor than he did in his pre-recovery days. Such a cool, real, smart, talented, HOT guy, even still.
He's still handsome and genguine and likeable
FUNKIEST BRIT OF ALL TIME
Still hot.
How did I miss this!!! He’s my crush from school!! I’m now 38 in 2020!! Lol
mi crush forever and ever
This is a week before I had the pleasure of meeting the pleasure groove author. Wonderful fella.
Listening and watching John in this video has given me a change of opinion of him. He is not only HOT but is interesting to listen to. I thought he would still be out with different women etc but it is great he has settled down.
Loved the book. A great insight into the workings of DD. Feel slightly guilty though having been a massive fan, thinking that I may have played a part (all be it small) in John's addictions.
Catholaholic.. instant classic word-ism! :)
Well said John!
Carol Vorderman is gorgeus :-)
Stacey McGrath you write the same comment over and over again on this video. Creeps..
Congrats on your sobriety!
I would love to go there..
Great book! I need to revise my Duran Duran bio.!
Thanks for that Damian. Never heard that.
Revelation!!
John Taylor is still the shit ❤
I just finished reading his book. He was mean and left out Andy Taylor at the end in the Acknowledgements section.
Andy Taylor was not liked by anyone in the band and John was just following the golden rule, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything". The fact he left Andy out, when he could have blasted him, means John acted as any gentleman should.

"View to a Kill" is a Duran/Duran Bond video. =Been there done that.
SHERRIE WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU????? YOU WOULD LOVE THIS.. I MISS YOU EVERY DAY! NOT ONE DAY GOES BY I DON'T THINK OF YOU. SUCH AWESOME MEMORIES HERE WITH JOHN.
That's the way you do it.
I want my....

sounds like it aye haha
commentary a broken face de trez caras
What's with his hair?
Loose women! Prolapse's....ewwwww!
Woww this guy is just woww and wowww and sorry I'm speechless he just has all the package
John Taylor talented honest and I still love him after almost 40 years I feel the same. I love JT more.
He makes every woman around him ,happy
Cannot disagree more. I'm a bassist, and trust me -- JT was a solid player. Very unique blend of staccato/ghost note playing with some innovative syncopation within the lines.
Agreed he's a superb bass player. Both Duran Duran and Power Station.
he seems very intelligent and articulate when he talks... what an awesome guy....
I think it is the British accent? I am
from America, New Jersey. When ever I listen to someone with a British accent, they always sound more polished.
Been in love with John since I was 6😍😍😍. That's true love 😀😀😀
Still gorgeous.
WTF? Looks darn great for 52, has good head of hair
best revenge really! :)
John is so cool ( I had the priviledge of meeting my favourite DD in real life ).
im just entertained at how all the women are actually hypnotised with John Taylor
Wooo I would be too lol
Yes all are. He kicks in my adrenaline
Oh, I must disagree. I play bass and a study of "Rio", for example, is a discovery in lofty chromatic ascents and root-5 motion. I know of few pop bassists whom I would categorise as so capable of such dense syncopation and precise articulation.
Huh?!
such a lovely bloke
The Neurotic Outsiders need to get together, make an album and do a proper tour. They were a great straight up rock band.
are you high he is an incredible bassist his grooves are really impressive
El más bello de todos los bellos del mundo!!!
😍😊🤣haha .
Love you JT!❤😁😁❤❤
He’s so cute!!
He just doesn't age!
I'm SOO HAPPY he went to rehab, cuz still want that BADD ASS BASS THUMPING ON THOSE DD TUNES , LONG LIVE NEW WAVE!
There's a recent youtube video of John interviewing Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles. Worth a listen
I love him!!!!!! He's awesome!!!!!!!!!
Reading Andy Taylor's "Wild Boy" book right now and I'm mid-way [Very awesome autobiography so far!]. Next up will be John Taylor's "In The Pleasure Groove"...
Andy Taylors is the better book, felt like John held back on some parts. Still a good read though especially for a Midlands lad like me

Read John's book a couple of times ,so glad he's in a better place .le bon girl 71 xx
How the fuck does he look so good?
Genes, boyish looks and access to therapy supplements that are way beyond our financial means. (And hair replacement- money again!)
Stiffd1 you mad bro?
Just the facts man & lotsa cash..lol
his hair looks real to me lots of men his age still have their real hair
he was 52 here not that old
The original JT. Great band too.
My first true love.
He is looking gorgeous - roll on wednesday when I will meet him again!
How can he tear up fan mail??? People pay good money and put in effort to write
You must be joking, ever since John Taylor worked with Nile Rodgers his bass playing has been spot on. =1986 voted best bassest.
YdFQqlvde8U (even Nile was proud of JT)
What was wrong with it before (he met Nile Rodgers)?
totally agree with you all someone has to do is listen to Power Stations 'Living in Fear' cd and say he wasn't a good player. For me Andy and John were DD.
That was Bernard Edwards on bass.
Excellent interview! John is so nice and down to earth.
Bass licks on View To A Kill...Coachella with full orchestra
he'd make the perfect bond if only he didnt smile as much as he does!
What are yo saying?????? I have to think you never listened him playing the bass
Great guy and band
Ive read his book and its just fantastic! he doesnt mention sex that much.
As a huge JT-fan myself, i'm wondering, how did JT combine his alcohol-abuse in the 80's with his popstar-image then? Because as long as i can remember, he didnt had the image of an "drugs/alcohol-abusing popstar" back in the day. Did he really drank/use drugs that much???

No he doesn't.
He is bloody lush 😍
I got so happy when he came omf
He came on stage so humble and shy, being the great star he was and still is. He is pure class.
Jim fucking Carey haha alrighty then
He almost looks shy. He is gorgeous ❤. In the 80s I never really noticed him, even though I lived them. Now he think he is the most beautiful guy ever! ❤❤❤
Honest to god, I truly thought I was going to watch a video of John Taylor visiting some loose women. Damn.
love him!
This man is a pure legend
I say this a lot about Brit rock stars but..."he's lovely!"
Amazing
Love him! Can't wait to read the book. :D
Is it wrong that I want to run my hands through his hair? xD
Such a wonderful human being. Many blessings for much happiness always. Stay blessed always!❤
John ❤️ or Nigel I love him! And yay he came to Arizona :)
I heard it from a good source that JTaylor didn't play all bass on the first album, a sessions player did. JT then had to learn the bass parts for live gigs, which he did very, very well.
The great thing about DD is they could have been just another teen band playing stupid/simple music.
But they worked hard to be respectable players, wrote distinct, multi-layered parts adding dimensions that most fans don't know exist, & Simon's harmonies are counter/support-melodies that are ingenious. =-) ♯♫
John is very funny, cute, and talented. I want to see DD, I have to one day soon. I think he's wrong about the ages of consent ( I know its the 80s) but those are the drinking ages not the ages of consent because in America the ages of consent vary as well from 14 - 18. I know were sort of prudish but not that prudish because after 18 you're considered an adult everywhere. I know that 21 is the legal of drinking everywhere now too.
John is so gracious and friendly! The women,
however, strike me is kind of rude to be honest.😠
They're not being rude, just bantering with him. Being British himself, John is fully used to British banter which is really playful and near the knuckle - he was like that himself with the other boys in Duran Duran. Trust me, that man has never been afraid to give as good as he gets in interviews, in the 80s he was always honest and straight to the point, or edgy with his comments and humour. He himself admits to being a big talker and open with people. I could tell he really enjoyed being in this interview and playing off the ladies with humour.
W i duran duran.....w John Taylor 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Guys comment here about his bass, ladies comment about his manhood.
thats me first row with a white top 00.38 second from the start ....Oh yeah :)
