One of the all time killer bass lines by an all time killer bass player. The fact that they were a "pretty boy" band didn't do justice to how great they were as musicians and writers.
Came here to say the same thing. John Taylor's bass in this song is redonkulous!
There's an old VHS series called 'Classic Albums' where the artists, engineers, producers, etc... break down classic albums of theirs, in the studio with the multi-tracks and such. I've got quite a few of them, and one of them is for this album. After watching it, I had to take these guys off my 80's Eye Liner Pop list. They were actually quite good musicians.
I'd really have liked to hear what they'd have done had they been around in the 70s or 90s instead.
Yeah, my high school band played this song... our singer was our bass player and I was lead guitar (and sang a few of the quirkier songs, like the Cars). But this bass line was too hard for our guy to play and sing, so we switched off and I played the bass and he sang and played the (rather easy) guitar part. Pretty much we sucked, and no way did I play like Taylor, but it was great fun!
@@deanroddey2881 They had huge hits in the 90's (ordinary world and come undone, you should know these?) in fact they are one of the few bands to have a top 10 album in every decade including last year.
@@deanroddey2881 You mean VH1?
There was a time in the mid 80's when Duran Duran ruled the world
That scene with Simon riding the bow pulpit and the band behind him became such an iconic image.
It also made him seasick, I heard. hahaha
This video is basically the 80’s in a nutshell, lol..
Another from Russell Malchany an Australian film director that filmed so many iconic video clips in the 80's Buggles,Elton John,Billy Joel etc
It really did. A perfect image of the 80s.
Ordinary world should be next for their 90s hits. Planet earth for their 80s hits.
Bassist John and drummer Roger Taylor (no relation) are still one of the greatest rhythm sections in the world. The bass line throughout this song is so deep and funky all the other instruments and the vocal can just ride along on its wobbly back.
In the original formation there were 3 not related "Taylor"!! Andy Taylor (guitarrist) , John Taylor (bassist) and Roger Taylor (drumer) 😉
Rhythm section definitely stood out
I was just about to comment about how I never noticed the smoking bass part on this song, then I saw your comment. Thank you. Back in Jr. High, had I known that Duran Duran had a bassist that sounds like Chris Squire or Geddy Lee, I might have given them a chance, lol.
They have no relatives? That's sad. Orphans?
@@XercesandAlexander 100% agree. I have to say I do like Simon LeBon's voice...he had swagger
Brad and Lex, you just heard the best bassline of all times.
He is such an under rated Bass player!! His Bass lines are always top notch.
The song is a testament to the fact that everything is about sax.
Early Eighties was all about the Sax
Spandau Ballet - True is another example.
Bruce Springsteen had Clarence Clemons.
Bowie, Foreigner, Glen Frey, Men at Work, Hall and Oates, George Michael,... and on and on.
Many of my favorites from that time period had the Sax - and that's not even counting the Ska bands.
This song has one of the best bass lines ever recorded.
He has an awesome video showing us what he's doing ! "Syncopation" ! Ha ha
Very famous bassline
John Taylor is THE BASS GOD! Nobody compares! This song is all about the bass and video is all about the boat!
Thank God you watched the official video. It's considered one of the best music videos ever made in it's era.
IKR? They missed out on "Hungry Like the Wolf" by not reviewing the video.
My son knows DD from the GTA games and says that their videos remind him of some old DVDs I watch sometimes (Miami Vice)..
I'd been a fan of DD since "Planet Earth/Late Bar" but the Rio album was them at their very best.
I'd highly suggest Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know"
Agree 💯%
Yes.
Super underrated song
Duran Duran was huge in the 80s. They were the music and style there for a while.
Them and Miami Vice.
Duran Duran are actually very good. Every 13 year old girl loved them back in the eighties...part of the 2nd British Invasion.
John Taylors Bass playing on this song is amazing.
Lead singer Simon LeBon said "this is the bands love letter to America ".
When touring, they were blown away by the sheer size and diversity of the U.S. and how welcoming the people (particularly their fans) were.
Im a hardcore metalhead and I LOVE this song! But.. the real star of the video is the boat. It is a "Ketch" style sailing yacht built in Scotland in the 1930s. Its a true masterpiece of a vessel. Her name is Ilean and was used as a private charter most of her life. She eventually fell into disrepair during the 1990s and early 2000s due to neglect. In 2006(?) the owner of Panera Watch Co spotted her in an English harbor looking like she was doomed to the scrap yard. He recognized her from this video and bought her on the spot. He spent the next 2 years having her restored using 90% of the original wood!! In 2009 Ilean was entered in the Antigua Regatta yacht race. Some members of Duran Duran were there as Ilean crossed the finish line. They wept.
I had not heard this! I love it! 🥹
Oh wow!! That's cool as hell!😊
Great bit of trivia!
My son was an *70s baby and says he listened all to metal and 80s music, duran duran was the band to listen then in the "80s"
I can't help it > the real star for me is the model who was engaged to (then married) Nick Rhodes. I wished I was as leggy as her at the time, being a podgy teen with zits all over my face.
More interesting than you think. They still are going today 2022 with new music. Invisible.
THIS is a band at the height of their powers as musicians!!! Its UNTOUCHABLE!!! 💯😎
Close your eyes... open your ears! Don't be fooled by the illusion! The musicianship speaks for itself! 😎
John Taylor on bass (!!!!!), Roger Taylor on Drums, Andy Taylor on guitar,, Nick Rhodes on keys, and Simon Le Bon on vocals.... They are ALL great at what they do.
And the band is the absolute sum of all their greatness!!! 💯😎
Thats a HARD BAND TO TOUCH, musically!!! 💯
Still the best rythm section in the global music industry.
Duran Duran. One of the hidden gems bands of the 80s. They were pretty good.
When it came to video production in the 80's, Duran Duran were the GOLD STANDARD with Rio, Wild Boys (my fave), Hungry Like The Wolf, New Moon on Monday and so many many more.
Duran Duran ruled MTV in the early 80s! They still sound great to this day!
One smoking bass line from John Taylor, I remember when this first came out it was soooo different from the 70s rock, this and Hungry Like the Wolf was some of the first videos on Mtv, they really kicked the 80s in along with The Cars, followed up by Miami Vice. Man take me back to the 80s.
Ooh, they should react to Jan Hammer's theme song for Miami Vice! There were a lot of electronic instrumentals from the '80s that fused rock with jazz and funk. Herbie Hancock was a jazz artist popular at that time with his song "Rockit."
@@LynnThompsonAuthor Funny enough I stopped in my local bar and that song was blaring on the jukebox, took me a sec to realize what song it was.
One of the best bass lines ever. John Taylor is still jamming into his 60s. Sounds the same as 40 years ago.
Duran Duran was my favorite band when I was growing up. My room was wall papered with DD posters..
My mom even threw a DD birthday party for me when I was 13. She made an awesome cake with the band on the top and my friends and I all had our DD gear on.
Still have all the albums, singles, 45s
SO much fun!
The good old days when MTV was strictly music videos 24/7. Remarkable how many artists benefited from MTV and are still performing today.
One of the biggest bands of the 80's girls went nuts for them.👍👍👍👍🤟
When I think of '80s new wave bass lines, this and Promised you a Miracle both come to mind.
**OMG that bass line tho!!!!!!**
By far Duran Duran's best work PERIOD
Andy Taylor laying riffs over John Taylor's bass lines works every time
One of the most iconic '80s songs & music videos. MTV showed it a lot.
Rio, Hungry Like the Wolf and Girls On Film are one way they got metalheads, like me, to watch and listen to a different type of music, plus Duran Duran and The Power Station kicked ass 🤘
DURAN DURAN is still making albums and touring. In fact I will see them, again, this August 30 in Fort Worth Texas! This October they will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Duran Duran was a BEAST in the 80's, for a while they ruled MTV. My all time favorite 80's band. They are on my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Nick Rhodes (keyboards / synthesizer) and John Taylor (Bass player) formed the band when they were 16 and 17, still in school. Duran Duran blended post punk, new romantics, funk, and new wave into a style their own. Nobody sounds like Duran Duran. I am so happy they are FINALLY getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in October of this year. They deserve it!
Deep, deep Rabbit hole... you will enjoy the journey. You've only just scratched the surface.
Loved their 2005 Girl Panic where they bring in all the Super Models to play the band, and the band is working in the hotel and also playing the Journalists...🥳
I an a metalhead and an 80's child I love this band you said it best. They are a great band.
This song will always be an ABSOLUTE BANGER!!
Duran Duran is basically Roxy Music with an 80s spin on them. So, if you like them, then yeah you should probably put Roxy Music on your "todo" list.
Duran Duran were a huge band in the 80's and definitely had a unique sound, mostly because they were such talented musicians. They made interesting songs that had mainstream appeal but also had a new wave vibe.
Great 80s vibes
Rio is up there with Chic's "Good Times" and Tower of Power's "What is Hip" for Bassline staples every Bass Player should know and learn.
In terms of popularity, at their peak, they were as popular as the Beatles with the teenage girls. My high school was flooded with girls lockers of the fab 5.
Lex is an 80's kid no doubt! 😂
I was 15 and this was my liiiiiife, lol. Ty for reacting to them.
IMO, "Rio" is one of their best. It was also the first I heard of them. It played briefly on the radio, but disappeared, then "Hungry Like the Wolf" came out and blew up, and they started playing "Rio" again.
Wow. I was around back then. I don't think I ever heard either song on the radio. That's why MTV was so fresh. They'd played stuff you didn't hear on the radio.
Hungry Like the Wolf blew up MTV but until then neither was played on the radio here.
@@debjorgo Yes...when MTV played music videos non-stop.
@@FreeMTrider "That's why MTV was so fresh." That felt so weird when I wrote it. I haven't complemented MTV in a long time.
@@debjorgo hahaha….Same here.
the 80's..they were a blast
More Duran Duran, please! "Girls on Film" "Planet Earth" "New Moon on Monday" "Please, Please tell Me Now"
I love how Lex can like and appreciate good music without having to classify it as "80s sounding". Good music is good music regardless of genre or era.
I agree, I hate it when they have to pigeon hole it into the 80's it is a great song period.
Great band. Kinda a guilty pleasure . Only because my older sister had all her bedroom walls covered with these guys!
Such a cool bassline.
Duran Duran was the best of best when it came to the eighties New Wave/The Romantic era! They had the best music and the best videos on MTV! I’m a Duranie since the beginning so I’m happy to hear they will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, 2022! ❤️❤️
_Rio_ is one of my desert island album. It is 1980s pop perfection, with not a single bad track on it. "Last Chance on the Stairway" is my favorite from it.
If I had to pick one song and one video to represent the MTV era and the 80's, this one would probably be it. I don't know why, but anytime I hear this song or see this video, it just transports me back to being a teenager in the mid 80's. Seeing the band sailing on that boat, they always looked like they were having a blast, and I always wanted to join them. An amazing song, and an even better video, it never gets old, no matter how many times I've seen/heard it.
Duran Duran blew up MTV with their amazing videos. The exotic locations they had were unmatched! So iconic music from the 80s!
I think my favorite Duran song ever and definitely my favorite video. It took far too long before critics realized these guys were amazing songwriters and musicians and not just a bunch of pretty boys with legions of screaming girls.
It took a bit of time to everyone to realise that, but they are now on the way to Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame, all though some consider that institution to be a joke as well.
That is true. I was in high school during the 80's and Duran Duran was my favorite band. Back then people, especially guys, considered them at the time, just another manufactured boy band. They had no idea that Duran Duran was self made and wrote to their own music and lyrics. I knew that Duran Duran would be around for decades and here we are.
@@brendag5263 There is a documentary "Early Years" available which says a lot.
NOSTALGY 80 DURAN DURAN GREAT GROUP.......
Love Duran Duran. This was and still is a huge hit.
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their "Girls on Film” and "New Moon on Monday"!!! Their official videos are very well done!
Other official videos of very good Duran Duran songs: "Skin Trade" , "Notorious" & "A view to a Kill".
There are two versions of that video. The edited for TV version and the original version that includes nudity. I'm pretty sure both can be found on UA-cam.
Lol, Brad wont though.
" Brad and Lex you'll love..."
Stop pandering it's so pathetic..they have this channel to make money not cause they care what you think.
Love those and the Chauffeur. The remake by the Deftones was epic too.
Pretty much can't go wrong with D2. The early stuff is dancey and fun, the later stuff is mature and pensive, the NEW stuff is dancey and retro. Just everything they do is gold.
Well said!
An incredible 80's song about an amazing lady ... and this lady was the city of Rio.
The mixture of synthesizer, bass and saxophone is such a nice sound.
Duran Duran was the first group to do on location MVs and always were very creative in pushing the artform of MVs forward. This song was meant to be a tribute to the United States according to the lead singer. They are a very artsy, creative bunch if you listen to them in interviews. I've loved them since they came out in the early 80s - they were hands down the biggest band in the 80s. Always being compared to the hysteria the beatles caused in the 60s
As someone who has has followed this band FOREVER it’s definitely an iconic song & video. Definitely made a heavy imprint on MTV back then. I’ve heard this song broken down and really wild what they did individually. If you can play this bass line, you can play any bass line. They have so many songs that are actually as good if not better than some of the commercial hits. Lex talking about Simon’s singing cracked me up. It’s great live and always fun. Definitely a top album of the 80’s. (Loud and Proud, baby!). I think Lex would love New Religion off the Rio album. She’d love the instrumentation on that one. Not one bad song on that album.
Great song with Simon LeBon SINGING lead vocals 😉. Duran Duran were quite a huge sensation. Cute boys who were very good musicians.
Lex, you nailed it when you commented on all the different textures going on with this song..the killer bass line, the keyboards going nuts and the pow of the guitar riffs, etc. You get it, girl! Rio is a freaking masterpiece. Well done! 😎👍
Funny, this was one of the first big vidioes on MTV. It was on 24/7. 😊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I want to hear this song with Simon LeBon on vocals and Lex vocalizing all the instrumentals…
They will love Adam and The Ants! Try them, they are new wave, post-punk too like Duran Duran. And good bass and drums. Watch "Stand and Deliver" and "Goody 2 Shoes".
This is the sound of the early 80’s ....I would know I was there
Rollin', rollin', rollin'. Though the streams are swollen.
The bass line is mind blowing!! Unbelievable musicianship by John Taylor.
I am pretty sure that "Rio" was voted the greatest video of all-time.
If anyone ever asks me to describe DD from now on, I’m just going to say “epic soundscaping.” You don’t even know how right you are. That’s kind of their strength. Please, please check out the live performance of Careless Memories from their concert film, As The Lights Go Down. You could pick anything from that film, but some of my favorite standouts are that song, Planet Earth, Girls on Film and New Religion. I hope you know this is a DEEP rabbit hole. Lot’s to check out.
Duran Duran was huge during the '80s and some in the early '90s. They were new wave , synth pop, dance-rock, a little post-punk. Soulful singing style, too. New Romantic. They usually had good bass lines, funky guitars (normal for post-punk, new wave). Music you can dance to. You are hearing layers of music due to bass guitar, synthesizers, drums, etc Taylor one of the best bassist out there. Lex just described the typical new wave, post-punk singing style lol. Kind of nonchalant style at times.
It's like new wave? No, it's definitely new wave! lol. They were one of the better new wave bands out there. Multiple style, too. Also the saxophone solos were common during the '70s, '80s, and '90s. Duran Duran were great musicians.
This was one of many great videos that were hits. Next video for yall to see "Planet Earth", "Girls on Film", "My Own Way", "Violence of Summer", "Ordinary World", and a lot more.
Psychedelic Furs had many sax solos too... They are my favorite new wave band.
The whole album is a masterpiece!
Another one of those awesome 80's classics that, even being a fan of it as a teen, I didn't really appreciate its greatness as much as I should have back then. Now being older looking back, Its much more obvious how brilliant of a piece and work of art this was. As Lex pointed out, the bassline and all the different layers really sets this song apart from so many others at the time.
Massively huge hit....and still in rotation. These guys are great musicians too. I remember when they came on MTV...one of the bands that put it on the map.
I love the bass in this song. Also, I recommend “Save a Prayer” by Duran Duran.
I can still play this.
This one is all about the bass.
Elite song, elite video, elite band. That's it
Journey was my FIRST favorite rock band, but Duran Duran were INSANELY famous New Wave when they arrived and they soon were my next favorite. People called them the second British Invasion. I saw them live in Seattle, 1984. I was 14 years old and the crowds of mainly teenage girls went INSANE! John Taylor, the Bassist was my favorite. These guys REALLY put on a show. You would love Save a Prayer and I think you would like Fame. Love you as always!
I've said it once on your channel and I'll say it again: DD owned MTV for a few years. So many friggin' hits.
Duran Duran were huge in the 80s MTV era. If you love this song check out Girls On Film and Hungry Like The Wolf. Peace, Love, Courage from David in Detroit.
The classic trick from the 60's and 70's, backward piano opens the song and the album. :)
Poster of them above my bed at 15. Great music and, yes, pretty boys.
The fade out at the end of this song is the best fade out to any song ever! 'do-do-de-do-do-de-do'. Keep smiling😊✌
This song for me brings me back to 9th grade after school watching MTV. This got heavy rotation.
I was not digging Duran Duran at the time, but hearing it now it holds up!
That bassline do!
The 80s was like an explosion of new sounds and styles!
Brings back great memories of 1982 just after HS graduation. They were definitely innovators and were on the forefront of the new wave movement. You may want to check out 'Save A Prayer' from the same LP, or "Ordinary World' from the early 90's 🔥
Their bass player was way underrated, one of the great bass players that came out of 80s music.
As someone who sails I love this video. That kind of funk bass line wasn't too common in 80s music. John Taylor was a super talented bass player. The influence for Duran Duran's sound (synth and sax, funk bass) was 70s band Roxy Music (they were around in the 80s, but it's their early work that influenced DD).
MTV kid here, this was on like every 4 hours. Love the band. Good guys.
I was a metal head back then, still love metal to this day but I always liked Duran Duran, very catchy and the videos were cool as hell and always had hot girls in them. Also John Taylor is a great bass player💯❗️
Duran Duran take their name from the 1960's Jane Fonda sci-fi film "Barbarella".
Whatever they are doing with the music in a song, the key to their success is going to be the vocals. No one else sounds like that.
John Taylor+Bass=Badass.
This is the version that finally made it past the network censors, but because the previous version was reported on as being x-rated, the demand for everyone to watch this video when it first aired on MTV was huge. Years later you could catch a copy of the original version in pubs around the world, though not many in the USA. I saw the original version for the first time in Wales, UK in a pub, and while it was pretty racy, it wasn't x-rated. Several of the members of the band were well-known to date models and stars, and the video fits their life persona pretty well in that regard. They were the GQ flavor of New Wave and had many many hits. They also formed another band that pumped out some good hits too. The Basists also played with Robert Palmer for his hits like Simply Irresistible, another big MTV video. I believe Duran Duran would have existed without MTV, maybe nowhere near as big of a hit, which is probably true of all or most of the music that wasn't the typical genres like pop, country, and rock. We can also say that MTV probably wouldn't have made it without the bands like Duran Duran who brought millions flocking to their broadcast to see.
You're confusing this with the R rated Girls on Film video. One made for clubs with nudity and another "clean" version for TV. There is no other version of the Rio video.
@@amyz2837 Thank you. I was going to say, I'd never heard of a so-called X rate version of Rio, but am well aware of the R rated versions of Girls on Film and The Chauffeur.
@@mournblade1066 I forgot about The Chauffeur myself, thank you for the reminder. I think I had that on VHS back in the day, lol.
@@amyz2837 They're both here on UA-cam. At least they used to be.
Her name is Lex, and when she shines, she shows you all she can!!!
Duran Duran just put a new record out and are on tour. And the album is damn good!
Just shows the staying power of some of these groups in the 70’s & 80’s. Classic…
This band has tons of hits, Wild Boys-A View to a Kill-Ordinary World, the list goes on and on. You'll have fun with their catalog.
Hungry like a wolf.
notorious
My wife and I named our daughter after listening to this song driving to San diego looking at wedding venues. Great song love that Sax!!
We ALL loved Duran Duran. Very unique.
the 80s! mic drop!
Great new wave, post-punk group of the '80s and '90s. These pretty boys were great musicians too 😆 the girls loved them. They were popular when I was a kid. GenX stuff here. Fun dance music.
This was big when I was in college(kind of dating myself!). This was part of the early 80's British sound, was on heavy MTV rotation. I saw them in Dallas, about 1984. was an excellent concert. Another excellent song on this album was "Save a Prayer"
How did dating yourself go? Still together?
Duran Duran - The Chauffeur
