    I've followed his solo career closely for 35 years and I've never seen this interview before. I find his mindset during this particular time period really interesting because it is only a month or two before his show at Wembly Stadium, when, as he has said in subsequent interviews, he came to the realization, mid-show, that this band and this musical direction were not working, and he shortly thereafter disbanded the group and started down the road that would lead him to Now & Zen. Thanks for posting.

      The gig in question was actually at the Birmingham NEC - he's never played at Wembley Stadium apart from the Freddie Mercury tribute in 1992.

      @@bolinoid thanks for the info - just checked the bootleg I've had for ages and it says Wembley Arena '85, not the stadium. My bad. I've read multiple interviews where he says his moment of clarity occurred during that particular show, but it is certainly possible he's said it happened in Birmingham in other interviews. Overall, wherever he came to that conclusion, it happened a mere few months after this tv interview.

    This video has convinced me that it’s not a myth that people used to look older at younger ages in the past. He was about to turn 37 here. The bags under the eyes, saggy neck, wrinkles etc. look more like 55 today. No offense to him. Of course he had lived fairly wild up to that point, which tends to age you. But still, he looks much older than 37 year olds today.

    • @catscradle9331
      @catscradle9331 5 місяців тому

      Chain smoking, drinking, partying etc. plus the grief of losing his son seems to have aged him prematurely. But overall yes, I agree that even without that stuff people tended to look older back then…

    I'm a little perturbed by Robert being positive about Duran Duran. As a young lad in the 1980s I regarded Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and similar as the servants of Old Nick himself. In a just world, Lemmy would have been permitted to bash each member of those two 'bands' around the head with his Rickenbacker without any sanction. Re Peter Powell, I recall someone writing to a music paper back in the day saying it was time to reinvigorate the People Against Powell movement. I don't recall the bloke's exact words but it was something along the lines of having a focal point to rail against against the smirking DJ's intense naffness, which in fairness to Powell was de rigueur at Radio 1, John Peel aside.

    • @eightiesmusic1984
      @eightiesmusic1984 Рік тому

      Never heard of any movement against Peter Powell. But it underlines the nastiness of Britain evident even then. Always bullying other people, always pointlessly tribal. John Taylor of Duran Duran is widely considered to be an excellent bassist and the rest of the musicians in the band were proficient. Plant obviously recognised their ability.

    • @veneker9949
      @veneker9949 Рік тому

      @@eightiesmusic1984 I doubt there was any movement, more that the guy who wrote this just wasn't a fan of Powell. I don't think it's indicative of nastiness or bullying, more a reaction against the type of DJ then, which Morrissey and Harry Enfield felt compelled to comment on via Panic and Smashie and Nicey. I wouldn't say Duran Duran lacked talent but their fan base wasn't the most discerning.
