I'm a metal bass player and people can't believe me when I tell them I'm a huge fan of Duran Duran.. their songs are great and John Taylor is a fantastic bass player.
Totally. I'm a big Duran fan, they have awesome songs, and they were incredibly innovative at their time. And yes, John Taylor is an incredible bass player. He did a series of tutorials on UA-cam recently, check them out!
Borders between genres are blurred today... Some years ago when DD played the concert in Zagreb, some guys in the front row were wearing Skinny Puppy hoodies! :)
John Taylor is a scary good bassist. To say you can keep up with him on any given song is daring. But ALL OF RIO? You performed like a master on this. Mad respect.
He was certainly under t y me. I honestly thought it wasn’t him playing on these tracks until i saw his lockdown videos. Serious humble pie by me and respect to JT.
@@italianjob4947 I know. It sounds stupid now but I always had a a theory that both him and Martin Kemp in Spandau didn’t play on their recordings or live. It’s not unheard of. I take it all back of course.
Hello. Yes! That is what is mind boggling. I think he had only been playing bass a few years as he started playing guitar when he was 16 and then switched after a bit. That isn't much time to get THAT good. He is a stellar has player! Glad to see Duran Duran finally getting respect as musicians since most people wrote them off as just a pretty boy band for teenage girls. They were much more than that. They have some interesting tunes.
Rio album, 1982. John was born 20 June 1960, so he was, even younger when writing the bass lines (but let's not split hairs). It's phenomenal! He's awesome. He was even younger when he came up with the bass lines for the self-titled, Duran Duran, album songs (1981). Suffice it to say, he was born to be a bass player.
What is wild is he originally played guitar. So let’s just say he was 16 when he started playing bass. That means he wrote all these lines when he had only five or six years experience on bass.
I knew John Taylor's sound is one of the most recognizable bass sounds of our generation, but For Kristian Dunn to shake his hand between sub-sets, I had no idea how technically strenuous and genius John Taylor's bass is.
If you search for Best Bassist polls and surveys online, you'll find quite a few have him AT or near the top, and justifiably so. I'm partial to Geddy Lee, myself, but I'll be damned if Taylor doesn't have an outstanding style of his own. I'm happy to have rediscovered Taylor and DD after so many years.
Just started out on bass - I was a huge fan of Duran Duran in the early 80s. Never thought about them much since then. Now, John Taylor is my favorite bass player. I can't believe how overlooked he is. Incredible playing. I had to re-buy all that Duran Duran stuff again.
every once in a while I came back here to watch it, this has to be one of the best videos on youtube. this guy changes between a fretless and a regular bass like if it's nothing... some guy said on the comments, The internet is amazing!
Kristian Dunn has a ton of talent. But this video is one of my favorites and I too come back to it every once in awhile. Meanwhile I'm a fan of El Ten Eleven as well.
I put John Taylor’s basslines up there with Chris Squires. He’s instantly recognizable, everything is so tight clean and melodic. Just a great player and writer.
This record will always remind me of June back in 1982. I was only 15 years old. New Religion has been my favourite, on Rio, ever since. You really are paying tribute to John's bass lines.
Mu first favorite bands as a kid was Kiss and Duran Duran. Today i'm a guitarist in a death metal band and this album is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
Back in '84 after a while listening to Arena I would focus listening on each instrument at a time. Very neat bass, the keyboards, Simon's backing vocals, the guitar riffs, wow
@@arturofanciulli9617 That's pretty darn impressive. The man was a prodigy. And what's fantastic is that from his vids made during this pandemic he clearly still LOVES to play. Always a great and rare thing to be able to combine work and play!
Wow, just wow. This guy has to be a huge Duran fan to have the patience to learn the entire album off by heart. But, whether he is a fan or not, that was one hell of a stellar job, Kristian!!
@@marguitvaldez4792 as long as I know (based on what John Taylor himself wrote on his biography In the Pleasure Groove: Love, Death and Duran Duran), he never ownned a Rickenbacker Bass. The one he "played" on Girls on Film video was borrowed.
The whole album in one take?, I don't think even John himself could have done that. I'd love to see John Taylor's reaction to this, someone needs to send this to him
I play bass myself, and this guy is absolutely terrific, as he makes it all look very easy. Most of John Taylor's bass lines were very intricate, and complex and he is far better on bass than most people realise. A lot of his bass lines were the driving force behind most of Duran Durans songs. The rest of the band are great musicians, and are very far removed from the teenybop tag that they used to be seen as. Total respect to kristian and John Taylor.🙏
@@BruceLee-zd9bw "teenybop tag" indeed. I was a 13 yr old teenage male in '82 when the Rio album came out. I found the music interesting and full of energy, but the pretty-boy appearance of the men put me off a bit. I'm glad I'm a lot older now and can just appreciate the outstanding musicianship and skill and creativity. Back then I got into Rush and The Police as well, so I've always loved a good bassist! The Rush song "Marathon" from Power Windows has a lead bass line that I thought of when I re-listened to Rio's title song the other day. Gotta love it!
The influences of Bernard Edwards and his groove are clear and strong. The bass line from "Last Chance On The Stairway" is simply awesome! Let's just say that it was this groove that characterized Duran Duran's first sound, gave body and structure to their songs and led them to success. The collaboration with Chic, in a certain way, continued with the work on the production and guitars of Nile Rogers on the album Notorious.
As a kid, I liked songs like Hungry Like The Wolf and Hold Back The Rain best. As an adult, Last Chance on the Stairway and Lonely In Your Nightmare are my favourites. The Chauffeur and Rio proper always had my love.
I have said that very same thing for years, about a good drummer. Trust me, I've had the great bass player/ ok drummer combo and it left a lot to be desired. A good drummer can make everyone around them sound better. My opinion
Me too! I'm watching with headphones on and it's just something I cannot turn away from. Especially when he switched to the fretless for "Lonely in your Nightmare" ✊
I had an Aria RSB-80 that I gave to my son when he started playing. It was purchased to replace an Aria CSB-380 that was stolen around the time he was born. It was a moment of pride when he decided to play bass, especially the one that was bought when he was born. To this day, the sound of that bass is our gold standard. Phenomenal job playing this Kristian!!
Just started getting into Aria basses. I have a 1980 Natural SB1000 and a 1980 Walnut SB900. I love them! (I heard JT played a SB900 on the Rio album…)
Hi guys! I’m 47 years old now and since I was 10 I’m a DD fan, my favorite parts are from John Taylor’s bass lines. Such a joy to dig it into the YT and see this video and read all the comments.
Where you in 1983 when I was trying to learn to play all this stuff. I eventually gave up figuring it must be all studio tricks, no mortal could actually play these songs. Yet here you have played them all the way through in order. AMAZING! Rio itself is enough to wear anyone out with JUST THE GHOST NOTES, but you did it all. Save a Prayer, such a great bass line. Such an underrated player and band. Thanks for doing this. Gonna learn Last Chance off you tomorrow.
My standing applause for the stunning performance on "New Religion"~~~~~~~ And it proves what a GENIUS John is to have written this cool yet badass bassline in his twenties!
John Taylor one of the best bass player out there and a fan of all Duran Duran music , all I can say brother you are killing it 👏 love it ....Jam away ! Super Impressed
You’re absolutely flawless. Río, Last chance - incredible. But. My own way. Stunning. You played it with such funk. And the bridge of New Religion. Blew me away. Holding back the rain. Swoon. You nailed it all.
Maximum Kudos to you That really, really, really, takes some doing. 42 minutes of playing some really difficult bass lines, whilst under the camera, and in ONE take is unbelievably incredible. To play along with one of the highly regarded "bass albums" of all time with no break is astounding. your passion for music shines through. You make it look effortless too totally brilliant. mind blowing stuff this. Wishing you all the very best.
YOU KNOW I ALSO DEEPLY INTO OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL etc. BUT I ALSO LOVE DURAN DURAN LEGACY !!! SO YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE LIKE THAT !!! GREETINGS FROM UKRAINE !!! )))
This is great. I love how you did "Hold Back The Rain". John Taylor himself has admitted that the bass "pops" -- that you so effortlessly play @18:27 -- were over-dubbed by him in post-production mixing. Well done Kristian!!!
I have an '86 Aria Pro II Cat Bass that I bought new in the spring of '87 during my senior year of HS. I love the SB-1000. I definitely want one in the near future. Well done cover.
You do realize that's not the way it works in real life. Because of all the dedication to the music, the spouse usually gets jealous and feels ignored. "You always put me in 2nd place!" "You should have married your bass!" Uh-hmm
Wow, what a dive in the past, it’s a huge album for any bass player (John Taylor broke grounds no doubt putting the bass upfront and mixing funk, new age, and melodic fretless lines). You did an awesome job!!
esseppi He had a rarely used F Jbass fretless (modded from fretted like JP) JT incidentally only played fretless on 3 occasion 1 x Rio alb and 2 x 7RTiger alb.
Paulthorpe He also played it in “I Do What I Do” and I saw him playing it live on more songs post DD. Hey, am not saying he is Jaco, but just that (in my opinion!) he had that melodic sensitivity on the bass, and legato notes that are typical of many other fretless bass players. Peace!
Rio. The bassline that made me decide to play the bass in 5th grade orchestra in 1985. Finally learned it a few years ago and play it occasionally in my one man loop set
Bravo, bravo, bravo. I decided to listen to one song and had to stay glued for it all. Excellent covers! Thanks for the video. I'll definitely be re-watching/listening. Keep killin' it brother. Cheers
Bloody awesome! 👏🏻🎉 As someone else, like a lot of comments on here, who is into metal, punk etc.. I’ll never get tired of Duran Duran! Growing up in the 80s I was into Duran and Slayer at the same time, seen them about three times and they never disappoint! Totally underrated awesome band. 👍🏻👏🏻
I first learned to play these songs around 1984 when I got my first bass. Never was I ever this good at them. Also, it's great to see various bassists interpretations of all the little fills and bits of character that permeate all these songs. So, from a guy that's put Duran Duran at the top of my favorite bands ever since 1981: kudos, dude.
Fantastic job. I wore this vinyl LP out in the summer of ‘82 as a youngster. Kristian - great set on 2/1/22 in KC at Record Bar. You, Tim, and Sego heated up a cold, snowy midwestern night. I’m fairly certain you wore that exact T-shirt for the show! 😄
I'm a metal bass player and people can't believe me when I tell them I'm a huge fan of Duran Duran.. their songs are great and John Taylor is a fantastic bass player.
I'm not a musician but I love Metal (esp. Amon Amarth) and JT has a really fun style to follow along to.
Same here!
Same here. I’m really a rock/ metal player but have always enjoyed playing Rio, My Own Way and New Religion bass lines. Fun, classic lines.
Totally. I'm a big Duran fan, they have awesome songs, and they were incredibly innovative at their time. And yes, John Taylor is an incredible bass player. He did a series of tutorials on UA-cam recently, check them out!
Borders between genres are blurred today... Some years ago when DD played the concert in Zagreb, some guys in the front row were wearing Skinny Puppy hoodies! :)
John Taylor is a scary good bassist. To say you can keep up with him on any given song is daring. But ALL OF RIO? You performed like a master on this. Mad respect.
Fantastic , iconic basslines , played with groove and funkyness !
Wooooooooooooooooootge Best bass Duran duran
John Taylor is such an underrated bass players. His grooves are so good.
He's not underrated at all.
He was certainly under t y me. I honestly thought it wasn’t him playing on these tracks until i saw his lockdown videos. Serious humble pie by me and respect to JT.
@@RichardWoodhall-h2n Why wouldn't he be playing?
@@italianjob4947 I know. It sounds stupid now but I always had a a theory that both him and Martin Kemp in Spandau didn’t play on their recordings or live. It’s not unheard of. I take it all back of course.
And to think, John did this when he was just 22.
Hello. Yes! That is what is mind boggling. I think he had only been playing bass a few years as he started playing guitar when he was 16 and then switched after a bit. That isn't much time to get THAT good. He is a stellar has player!
Glad to see Duran Duran finally getting respect as musicians since most people wrote them off as just a pretty boy band for teenage girls. They were much more than that. They have some interesting tunes.

This here proves how amazing John's baselines really were on Rio ❤️ Incredibly underrated bassist!! Fantastic job Kristian
I knew John Taylor's sound is one of the most recognizable bass sounds of our generation, but For Kristian Dunn to shake his hand between sub-sets, I had no idea how technically strenuous and genius John Taylor's bass is.
JT punched in a lot and never plays it like this live
Beatiful album and great performance.
JT never gets credit for his bass playing. You played it flawlessly
If you search for Best Bassist polls and surveys online, you'll find quite a few have him AT or near the top, and justifiably so. I'm partial to Geddy Lee, myself, but I'll be damned if Taylor doesn't have an outstanding style of his own. I'm happy to have rediscovered Taylor and DD after so many years.
... i don’t remember word for word(it was years ago), but even Geddy said JT was one of the best bass players in pop music.
I wouldn’t say flawlessly.
Yup, Geddy then JT.
Just started out on bass - I was a huge fan of Duran Duran in the early 80s. Never thought about them much since then. Now, John Taylor is my favorite bass player. I can't believe how overlooked he is. Incredible playing. I had to re-buy all that Duran Duran stuff again.

Huge John Taylor fan. You nailed it!!
Amazing ! Breathtaking ! Phenomenal ! Exceptional ! Fabulous ! Prodigious ! Unthinkable ! Unmatched ! In one word : Durantastic !!!!!
Lonely in your nightmare with that fretless Wal is simply amazing....i just called my son to show him how bass MUST be played........again, thanks! 😉
The bass run during the sax solo is INSANE!!!
I put John Taylor’s basslines up there with Chris Squires. He’s instantly recognizable, everything is so tight clean and melodic. Just a great player and writer.
Two of the greatest!
So is Peter Hook.
That's actually a great comparison.
@@22013I love Hooky, and he, along with JT are a huge part of why I picked up bass in the first place, but I'd never call Hooky's playing tight.
This record will always remind me of June back in 1982. I was only 15 years old. New Religion has been my favourite, on Rio, ever since. You really are paying tribute to John's bass lines.
Holly crap man. That was awesome!! I fell across this by accident. A great way to spend 45 minutes !
Well done and with the proper bass!!!! I still love my Aria.
Best 42 minutes I've spent in a long time. Awesome playing!
I couldn't stop watching till the end! Great!
Man, the fretless WAL, invaluable. Envy all over my face. Great playing, execution, sound and collection. Kudos.
Ever since listening to Japan’s “Visions of China” I knew there was something special about that bass guitar and especially Mick himself.
Mu first favorite bands as a kid was Kiss and Duran Duran. Today i'm a guitarist in a death metal band and this album is still one of my favorite albums of all time.
What's the name of your metal band? I listen metal and i like death!
Rio is JT as his best in a whole album, this guy nailed it. Just wow
and JT was 21 at the time of RIO!!!!
Nah. Notorious was better.
Back in '84 after a while listening to Arena I would focus listening on each instrument at a time. Very neat bass, the keyboards, Simon's backing vocals, the guitar riffs, wow

New religion Is still the best! And i love how bass works on it! Thank you Kris!
One of the most underrated bass players of all time.
Wow, just wow. This guy has to be a huge Duran fan to have the patience to learn the entire album off by heart. But, whether he is a fan or not, that was one hell of a stellar job, Kristian!!
A full cover of Rio, played on an Aria. The internet is amazing.
Except he uses two (different) WALS -🤢 the bloody show off!- not just 'an Aria'.
@@snesleywipessqueegeeservices Actually, I believe Jonh Taylor used to record with the Aria and show off in shows the Rickenbacker.
@@marguitvaldez4792 I was just responding to Brett's comment. It's not all Arias (on this vid). But its not really important...Have a great day!:)
Brett Blakeway it is, but the take away would be the playing....

You play fantastic good Sir. The Bass Gods would be pleased ❤

Superb. John was overlooked as a musician because he was so good-looking.
Holy crap you NAILED this dude. MAJOR props from this Duranie (who is VERY critical of those basslines).
Nothing can turn a good band into a great band like a skilled bass player.

You have my utter respect, man. I Was only going to watch the beginning and watch the rest later. But I just coiuldn't bring myself to stop the video.

Fantastic job. I wore this vinyl LP out in the summer of ‘82 as a youngster. Kristian - great set on 2/1/22 in KC at Record Bar. You, Tim, and Sego heated up a cold, snowy midwestern night. I’m fairly certain you wore that exact T-shirt for the show! 😄
Does he play in a Durans' cover band?
@ Sabrina Durand
No - his own project El Ten Eleven. Check them out.
