@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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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! ❤❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@ 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?
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. =-) ♯♫
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.
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.
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.
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 Taylor was, and still is, the coolest member of the band by far. As talented as he is beautiful!
I love John Taylor ! He's the most charming man in the world !
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?

Happy 60th birthday 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

He makes every woman around him ,happy
John Taylor talented honest and I still love him after almost 40 years I feel the same. I love JT more.
Great person and bass player!
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.
Agreed he's a superb bass player. Both Duran Duran and Power Station.
Been in love with John since I was 6😍😍😍. That's true love 😀😀😀
Love him so much he truly is a gorgeous humble guy xx
What an angel omg...
El más bello de todos los bellos del mundo!!!
He's still handsome and genguine and likeable
He is hilarious! Love his sense of humor!
Yes indeed, so engaging and totally endearing! Could listen to him all day.
My 13 yr old self still loves him
Such a wonderful human being. Many blessings for much happiness always. Stay blessed always!❤
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
Still gorgeous.
Bass God that's so well written and well spoken. The man is fookin' genius . . .
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.
such a lovely bloke
Woww this guy is just woww and wowww and sorry I'm speechless he just has all the package
Well he is 52 y/o now. He's still very, very handsome. Despite the excess, he aged quite well.
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
Excellent interview! John is so nice and down to earth.
There's a recent youtube video of John interviewing Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles. Worth a listen
I'm SOO HAPPY he went to rehab, cuz still want that BADD ASS BASS THUMPING ON THOSE DD TUNES , LONG LIVE NEW WAVE!
He’s so cute!!
I think he's great! What a remarkable guy!!
I love him!!!!!! He's awesome!!!!!!!!!
He is looking gorgeous - roll on wednesday when I will meet him again!
The Neurotic Outsiders need to get together, make an album and do a proper tour. They were a great straight up rock band.
I LOATHED Duran Duran with a passion. I've grown up since
I'm still in love with John , hes flustered all those "loose " women haha
John is so cool ( I had the priviledge of meeting my favourite DD in real life ).
Still hot.
This man is a pure legend
He just doesn't age!
WTF? Looks darn great for 52, has good head of hair
best revenge really! :)
Read John's book a couple of times ,so glad he's in a better place .le bon girl 71 xx
Great guy and band
He is bloody lush 😍
The original JT. Great band too.
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
@@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.
How did I miss this!!! He’s my crush from school!! I’m now 38 in 2020!! Lol
are you high he is an incredible bassist his grooves are really impressive
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.
Bass licks on View To A Kill...Coachella with full orchestra
My first true love.
FUNKIEST BRIT OF ALL TIME
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.
😍😊🤣haha .
Love you JT!❤😁😁❤❤
This is a week before I had the pleasure of meeting the pleasure groove author. Wonderful fella.
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.
mi crush forever and ever
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?!
John is so adorable..my favorite forever
he'd make the perfect bond if only he didnt smile as much as he does!
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.

YdFQqlvde8U (even Nile was proud of JT)
What was wrong with it before (he met Nile Rodgers)?
John ❤️ or Nigel I love him! And yay he came to Arizona :)
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.
love him!
Catholaholic.. instant classic word-ism! :)
Amazing
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
How can he tear up fan mail??? People pay good money and put in effort to write
W i duran duran.....w John Taylor 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Well said John!
What a charmer? :o) Thanks for this clip.
@ 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?
Honest to god, I truly thought I was going to watch a video of John Taylor visiting some loose women. Damn.
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. =-) ♯♫
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.
I LOVED his name Nigel!
Carol Vorderman is gorgeus :-)
I say this a lot about Brit rock stars but..."he's lovely!"
Great book! I need to revise my Duran Duran bio.!
❤
I love John❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on your sobriety!
Thanks for that Damian. Never heard that.
Guys comment here about his bass, ladies comment about his manhood.
I would love to go there..
very nice
Stacey McGrath you write the same comment over and over again on this video. Creeps..
Revelation!!
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.

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.
living
What are yo saying?????? I have to think you never listened him playing the bass
Love him! Can't wait to read the book. :D
Is it wrong that I want to run my hands through his hair? xD
Physically, he is the perfect human male. Not a flaw.
thats me first row with a white top 00.38 second from the start ....Oh yeah :)
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.

Plenty of damp patches on seats that day 🤣🤣
