@@resa.walters Planet Earth was my very 1st DD song I heard in 1981. I was 10. I’ve been their biggest fan since. I’m a JT fan 🎸. Thought I’d grow up & marry him. I was wrong. 😂😁🤷♀️
@@natasha.syberia I think its's simply done with a passion, he's totally feeling it, maybe he plays with someone in mind, like his wife, or sometimes is just really inspired.
I'm 58 and i remember the track back in 1983 !!! . I now understand it and it's brilliance !!!! . I hate talking like this !!!!!!! But ?????????????............. In that band is a "genius" and i think i know who it is ?????? . GREAT TRACK
Whats so awsome is the version I remember as a teen sounds EXACTLY like this. D/D forever.....PLUS 7 & The Ragged Tiger is one of the best darkest feeling albums from a pop band in the 80's GREATEST!! Yes, Im a nerd >:)
How Could They be Underrated When they have Sold Over One Hundred Million Records/CDS World 🌎🌎🌎 Wide. They Just Dropped a New Single 2 Weeks Ago. They Still Sell Out Their Concerts!( I am a little biased because I sometimes tour with them as an assistant to the tour manger) Best Regards from Las Vegas
I love this song, one of their best. Sadly they didn’t perform it when I saw them live 3 weeks ago but luckily I’ve seen them sing it live at concerts before.

The scene: 1986, Germany, military barracks, the one thing you could have was a kick-ASS stereo system. This LP and cd were playing so loud out of the open window, you could hear it throughout the entire kaserne. Since one of my roommates had the system we jammed this song and LP/CD so loudly, the bass felt like someone punching you in the torso. Loved every minute of it. Peace- out ✌️👉🏻 😎🤪👊🏻🆒🇩🇰
It’s an incredibly complicated song to have structured this early in their career - just awesome, and the song that made me pick up a bass, that was 40 years ago and we’ve had some wild nights since then!
@@gmansi I'd say because a lot of it is "against the grain" - John's heavily syncopated, pumping bass riff, Andy's metal-meets-funk guitar, Simon's close-to-rapping ("searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool" - can anyone sum it all up better?), Nick's Keys in "duel" with the bass, and everything on Roger's solid carpet. "Complex" may be more fitting, perhaps. But Khanada was also pretty complex; and the My Own Way "Night version" is also pretty cool.
@@gmansi Nothing to thank for! So I guess Khanada and My own way - at least in the arguably better Night Version - push a button for you, too? Anyone out there is another one where I see your point. I read somewhere that John was responsible for the arrangements; which may explain why the bass has a rather more prominent role than usual. Which in this case is much more justified than with Overkill over the past 30 years... Just playing is the Night Version of Planet Earth - if I'm not mistaken, I have that one upstairs, too. Black generic sleeve vinyl, you know. Also an incredible stampede bass augmented by some funky rips, really dirty spots by Andy, a lone sax in the first half (and I think it's a real one) supported by more brass later (from 3:00). At some places, a bit less keys would have been more. IMVHO...
This track is dope as ever and JT just owns the solid funk that drives the tune. I love that they song the double layers of different lyrics together even live. It’s a wonderful embellishment I’ve always loved about this song.
One of the VERY greatest bands of all time. Innovative with their superb videos that the very young MTV played all the time. And then the incredible consistent music they have put out through all this 40 years plus. Stood the test of time for sure!
Day-um...thank you, Dom Brown for the blazing leads. John Taylor...goes without saying, the master of great bass ghost notes. Anna Ross...thank you for holding down the bgv's. Simon!!! You sound/look/are great here.
I must say I .love the sound. The song is one of my favorites! But.... I must say that I miss the Simon of the 80s. I love his antics. Upbeat. Running around playing with the band. I do understand that was 80s, getting older, I am also. Yet I want Duran Duran to continue to leave their mark on all of us around world!
JT kicks it solid !!!! Miss Andy and also i miss Roger's drum power , he was so energetic and the snare was getting a serious beating . Anyhow this is a great great version
![Smashing Pumpkins • “Ava Adore” • 1998 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]](/img/n.gif)
This song clearly shows that John Taylor is one of the best bass players in music.
John and Roger..THE best rhythm section period 👌
Bar NONE!❤❤❤
I seriously want to rub this in the faces of whoever ever thought DD were just a bunch of makeup-wearing pretty boys, or - God forbid - a fabricated boy band.
Hell yes.
Yes, they’ve definitely demonstrated their musical substance over the decades.
Japan were better
@@Alix777. They were a big influence on DD :)
@@Softy1967Well done! And happy new year to you :)
Roger never gets enough credit for the incredible drum track on this song 🙂
How about planet earth, though? ✌️
Roger Taylor iZ one of the worldZ great drummers 😆☕🥁🥁🥁

I still wanna marry him. ❤️
But he's married.
You should look at all his pictures on Instagram, it's satisfying to an extent.
@@resa.walters my Pinterest is filled with JT! 😁
John Taylor has to be one of the top bass players ever Duran Duran Rock N Roll Hall of Fame
And now it's going to happen 😀
he is and he rarely gets credit for it
One of the best albums ever made. Brilliant in 2021.
eternally so !!!
Dont forget the chauffeur...thanks
Still one of my favourite albums to this day!…saw them live in 1983 and still listening nowadays…yeah! I’m an old rocker 😉
The most underrated Duran songs, and a clear demo they were true musicians
Agreed!
ya.. i got that vibe when the intro finished. professionals.
They never received enough credit
Yessss! One of their best songs ever, always overlooked.
this is my FAVORITE song!!
What an awesome band! My older sisters used to make fun of me for being a Duran Duran follower but now I am so god damn proud to be a devotee!
John's baselines are PERFECTION ❤
Simon Le Bon and his distinct voice and style. True icon.
58 years old now what great songs we had in the 80s ❤ and i dont think it will get any better then this . Do you . Let me know please
58 now . Its getting better
And it's me again x
My favorite Duran Duran song of all time! John Taylor is the bass god!! ❤️
John's bass is something else...my fave.
This is their greatest piece of work.
The awesome Bass of John is what makes Duran Duran so Iconic.
Yep. He's self-taught too. That even makes him more amazing...
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960
Gotta give credit to his idols, Bernard Edward’s and Nile Rodgers for his Motown/Funk style…
ua-cam.com/video/iWM-d8Mp3bA/v-deo.html
The Bass really stands out in this song
Just like in Rio, Faster Than Light or any other DD song :)
Love this song, and John playing and singing backup.
I finally learned the words in the background thanks to him!
Thank you John!
This is the song that made me pick up a bass guitar (and marry a fellow bassist!)
@@juhos30000 Anyone Out There!

Loved this song when the needle hit the vinyl in 1982 and today it sounds just as fresh.
Still have this vinyl 1st pressing SEALED!!!
@@jmiles9836That's so cool!!!!
Great song, probably the edgiest song they have made.
3:37-4:19=John Taylor LIKE A BOSS!!! :-D great bassline in this Song!
Marina veneno
Play that fuc*ing bass, John!
how does he even do it..
@@natasha.syberia
I think its's simply done with a passion, he's totally feeling it, maybe he plays with someone in mind, like his wife, or sometimes is just really inspired.
@@natasha.syberia He's a genius! He's a self-taught bass legend! Pure and simple!
John never gets the respect from the business that he should. He's very underrated!
30 years after the release it still rocks
I'm 58 and i remember the track back in 1983 !!!
.
I now understand it and it's brilliance !!!!
.
I hate talking like this !!!!!!! But ?????????????............. In that band is a "genius" and i think i know who it is ??????
.
GREAT TRACK
Same here!!!!
To render the lyrics(chorus) perfectly is NO easy feat.
Should be a part of all their concert sets!
I remember when it was...damn good song live. they should bring it back
This is my all time fav and I was thrilled when it was their opener in Vegas, February, 2019.
Agree
YES!!!!!
That bass sound is velvet.
Now I am in my mid 50’s, I now realize how good John is on bass!
My baby John is so amazing. That bass playing is fantastic!
Stunning DD tune, one of their best ever !
Agree, one of their best if not THE BEST
Simon is terrific keeping up with the Lyrics,After all these years I finally found out all theyrics,In my opinion this is one of their best songs.
Honestly my favorite song of theirs. Probably not the most popular but that groove. Awesome.
Killer. Stellar. What modern music and modern youth completely miss. Songcraft.
Whats so awsome is the version I remember as a teen sounds EXACTLY like this. D/D forever.....PLUS 7 & The Ragged Tiger is one of the best darkest feeling albums from a pop band in the 80's GREATEST!! Yes, Im a nerd >:)
Very underrated band, they weren’t just pretty boys, they could really play...
Yeah, and they can even do the backup vocals, too!
The best band of 80s and 90s fact

@@toonboy2658 definitely my favorite of the 80’s
Dear God these boys are goooood!!!!

Splendid 💚
That bass...love John Taylor.
Such an underrated song and we think this is one of John's best tracks
Great Duran song. Love the bass
Like a fine wine maturing. Well done guys, love it.
THAT is the BEST that song HAS ever sounded! AND I should know......

It's your new religion
My favourite Duran Duran song ❤️.......that Bass 🎸
I love this shit !

Duran Duran another classic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐈⬛🐾🎹
When I am asked "what is your favorite song?" This is it. New Religion. After a listen many agree...this is rock explosion
It's amazing
Rio is still a awesome record and the band still rocks🔥
Song just kicks ass!
That bass!! Love JT..😍💜
I love you too John, you're sexy as hell when you play!
John is sexy no matter what decade he's in. His playing is sexy along with him.
I was 14 when I was a Duranie!! I was in Love with Simon.
The singing is awesome in this song. They put the so called music of today to shame.
Love Duran Duran!! This one is even better than on the album!!
I love this song, one of their best. Sadly they didn’t perform it when I saw them live 3 weeks ago but luckily I’ve seen them sing it live at concerts before.
I've never been their fan, but this song clearly demonstrates that they were extremely good band.
Ans still are - Just saw them in London! They were Incredible.
@@Blackwavewhitebeachsaw them 3 weeks ago !!! Swoon!!!!
One of the best DD songs. Brilliant bass line as always from the amazing JT ❤
a masterpiece!
I love you profile pic... awesome. Is it supposed to be you?
@@RR64434 yes, it is me interpreting Rio.
Silvia Di Tommaso awesome! If I were a woman I would have done something similar. Actually I may do it anyway. LOL 😂
@@RR64434 sure you may! 😊🤣
How did you do your profile pic?
*To me this is their greatest song ever.!*
They sound so great on this take. Remember to vote for DD at the Rock hof!!!!
Chorus and bass on this are everything. How did I miss this one from way back. It was slightly ahead of its time in retrospect
've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things
Telling me not there man, it's no go (don't go there boy)
I need a reason (I can't think without one now)
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason (maybe catch her don't know how)
Too many things too much to know
Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare (coming down, electric chair)
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout
Don't know why this evil bothers me (take another chance boy carry the fight you can take him if you're fast)
So why is he trying to follow me? (didn't I say if you're holdin' on you'd be laughing at the last)
How many reasons do they need? (I get along fine with them friends of mine, But you have to make a choice)
I might just believe this time (you're singing out of tune, but the beats in time and it's us who make the noise)
I'm talking for free
I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've got something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion
Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime, jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die
Don't know why this evil follows me (gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners in regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things)
So why does he try to bother me? (walking in formation down the lane they carry their cross make a church bell ring)
How many reasons do they need? (army majors pull a mean cool truth there lying in a swimming pool)
I might just be right this time (searching for the undeniable truth that a man is just a fool)
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion

What a haunting synth in this version.
Yes!! Love it!! I noticed that!!
Right???
Big shout out for Dom - Duran's longest serving lead player and killing it on this!
Nothing against Dom (technically spot on) but I'm really really missing Andy and his tone and style. Cheers buddy
Perfect so talented, crystal clear voice,

They are very good. I already played this song during my military service. 40 years ago. On a compact cassette in my van.
Why this wasn't a smash in 82 is beyond me
It was only an album track from Rio but the album was a smash hit
New Religion, Friends of Mine ,and The Chouffer pure awesome nis.

Good to see the guys are growing old gracefully and not trying to hold onto the look they had in the eighties….

My all time favourite Duran Duran song! I’m talking for Free it’s coming....New Religion for sure!
JT’s biggest fan right here!
epic bass line
Duran Duran......vi adoro
One of many great songs!
Love this song so much. The bass lines the lyrics and the complexity of the dual chorus. Still remember all the words. ❤️🔥❤️
A fantastic version of an already great song, I saw DD in 1979 rehersing before they were famous, they have come along a bit since then.
Bass line ...ass kicker! (pretty boy'$ nothing more on the 80'$) ...Nooo! they are real f#cking good band, then and now. Thanks God, for Duran Duran🙏🏽
Way to go. Dom!!! Wonderful picture of Roger and Nick!!!!!
put aside their good looks when they were younger, people .. these gentlemen are multitalented musicians
This song is magic! Uauuuu! Big performance !!!
Saw them in Chicago August 19,2022, AWESOME show as usual.
Saw them 3 weeks ago Calif!
i prefer new religion that played on 'working on skin trade' tour 1987, they made it funkier, but this version is good too . Love that bass line, John
