@@danigoddess I think Taira meant how so much of DD's music is driven by John Taylor's basslines. The bass took center stage. No denying both Andy & Warren made amazing contributions on guitar.
Preach it Taira! John Taylor's bass guitar WAS the lead guitar in many of their songs. Andy Taylor was great in his own right, his haunting and beautiful guitar sound on this song alone is very distinctive. but the backbone of their songs was John Taylor. My FAVORITE bass player of all time... nobody is even close to him.
Vote Duran Duran #RRHOF. They are currently in the lead for nominees in the fan votes. John Taylor is a bass goat. Recently voted #1 by music radar. Their newest album Future Past has some great tunes too. This is my favorite rabbit hole to go down.
John Taylor fantastic bass player for this genre, but in the same genre i think mick karn ( japan) and nick beggs ( kajagoogoo) just pip him... not much in it tho. Great choice of band and track. Love your channel budd. 👍👍
I always show my mom your Duran Duran reactions. She is watching it right now on her cell, dancing around the kitchen, and making funny faces at me. 🤣 She knows every single word too! ❤️ Edit: Mom says please please listen to her favorite DD song called New Religion.
@@AJ17_ Oh man, that's one of my top DD songs, Hold Back The Rain. Last song on side one of the Rio cassette, if I recall. I had that when it came out!
They were played non stop on the radio in the early/mid 80s. Then they weren't. Then they came out with what (imo) is one of the best songs ever in the 90s - Ordinary World.
@@chrisbayliss3532 It's been my favourite DD since Seven and The Ragged Tiger came out (about grade 6 for me!). Looking back, it's amazing what an innovative/inventive and ground-breaking band they were. When there was a new DD video coming out, it was almost like a movie premiere! I really wish I could have seen them live around that time, they put on a hell of a show too.
I was obsessed with this song when it was released was very young but persuaded mum to pause the tape numerous times to write the lyrics down for me r.i.p mum x
Duran Duran-Planet Earth Duran Duran-Notorious duran duran-I don't want your love Duran Duran-A View To A Kill Duran duran-All she wants is Duran Duran - White Lines (Extended)
Nice to see you it's been a long time for Duran Duran it's a brilliant awesome amazing band 👍 never a bad song Duran Duran do never!!!! John Taylor bass player won best bass player December 2021!!!! He's amazing well all of um are brilliant awesome amazing musicians!!!! Glad you liked it fantastic 👍
Duran Duran are probably going into the Rock Hall Of Fame this year. Well deserved. They have not stopped recording and touring since 1979. Great band.
I’m a Duranie for life! John Taylor is definitely one of the best bassist in popular music! Roger Taylor is putting in work on then drums too! Simon Le Bon voice is excellent! I. Can’t leave out Nick Rhodes on keyboards or Andy Taylor on lead guitar! I love this song! ❤️❤️
My absolute FAVOURITE Duran Duran track. Perfectly encapsulates the sound of the early 80s.. it ‘s a credit to their talent that they were largely dismissed at the time, but, over time they have come to be respected and recognized for more than just the pop star pretty boys of the 80s to being recognized as true musicians and creative artists who are still creating to this day.
Jayvee it's time you check out their newer stuff. Pressure Off is a good one! Reach up for the Sunrise, All You Need is Now, Invisible, Anniversary ect. Start looking for songs from 2000 through now. They just released their 15th album a few months ago. ❤️❤️
OH MY GOD! This reaction is the glimmer to my bad morning! This was my first introduction to DURAN DURAN in the 80s and I've loved them ever since. I'm almost 49! Thank you for this! Seriously, thank you!
As they would say in concert, especially in their homeland, *play that f'ng bass John, play that f'ng bass John* !!! He actually started with the band playing guitar, when Andy came along & played he (JT) decided on bass. Best decision anyone EVER has made. 💜💜
I just stumbled upon you and you are playing my youth. I don't know how many Duran Duran concerts I attended in the 80s. I have always been fond of Nick. My friends thought I was weird both for liking Nick, and initially for liking D2 - they were all fans within a year. They rubbed off onto my friends lol. And they are still rocking so well, putting out amazing music. The new stuff isn't like this, of course, because they matured as people and artists. I recommend everything they did, plus there were two splinter groups. John and Andy formed Power Station, Simon and Nick did Arcadia. Both put out amazing music worth checking out.
@@clairenoon4070 Every fucking documentary about the 80's talks about their fashion sense and their hair... They are MASSIVELY underrated for their musicianship!
@@echopryme But I and most of the people I know were there in the 80s; we don't watch documentaries about it, we lived it. And I can assure you DD weren't 'underrated', given that they shifted millions of records and spent at least half the decade in the charts (certainly in the UK, and presumably in a huge number of other countries). They happen not to have been my thing at the time - I was into post punk - but I didn't 'underrate' them, I could see they were great at what they did. I've noticed that for EVERY 80s video I've watched on UA-cam, people have commented that the band are the most underrated. By definition they can't ALL be the most underrated! It's getting boringly predictable that someone will say it, and is fundamentally meaningless because it's said so often.
@@clairenoon4070 Thats cool... but have they made the "Hall of Fame" yet?! When you ask 'serious' musicians about Duran Duran, do they praise the shit out of the music they made?! The fact is, ALOT of people see them as haircuts and videos. And those people are DEAD WR0NG...💯 But they ARE NOT perceived as the musicians they deserve to be perceived as! 😎
@@echopryme Which Hall of Fame? There are hundreds! The UK Music Hall of Fame? Let's assume, though, that you mean the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio (how very US-centric that we're to assume it!) - the idea that to be inducted into it is 'evidence' of greatness is touchingly naive. I'm afraid the institution itself is grossly US-centric; nominating mostly US artists, and wherever US artists are nominated, artists of any other nationality will be overlooked. The fact that Kate Bush is still not in the R & R Hall of Fame tells me everything I need to know about it! Do try to stop thinking it matters or is somehow relevant. Nobody outside the US does.
You're right, John Taylor is a great bassist! Bass Player magazine awarded Taylor their LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD this past December (2020)! To hear more of his excellent playing and bass lines, you should listen to the Extended Versions of Duran Duran songs made for dance clubs. Not only is the bass prevalent even more but the overall arrangements of these songs are phenomenal. I'd suggest your next Duran Duran reaction be an extended version of one/all of the following: Is There Something I Should Know? (Monster Mix); Girls On Film (Night Version); Girls On Film (Night Mix); Planet Earth (Night Version); Planet Earth (Night Mix); My Own Way (Night Version); New Religion (Night Version); Union of the Snake (The Monkey Mix); New Moon on Monday (Dance Mix); Hold Back the Rain (Alternate Remix) and/or Hungry Like The Wolf (Night Version)- all Gems! You can get more of Duran Duran's musicianship this way. Enjoy your reactions as always. Cheers!
Their first number one. One of their greatest songs is one from the Arena album - 'The Chauffeur' - check it out. John Taylor was the bassist - Another great bassist of the time he admired was in the band Japan - check out 'Sons of Pioneers', 'Visions of China' or 'Quiet Life' all amazing. Peace
This song debuted at no 1 in the UK charts upon entry. One of less than 10 songs that have achieved it till today. The others include The Beatles and The Bee Gees.
John Taylor's bass playing is good, but it is the guitar riff that Andy Taylor is playing that makes this a great song.This is my favorite Duran Duran song.
Jayvee, thank you for sharing your good, kind natured enthusiasm to some of the most iconic songs. Brings back beautiful nostalgic feelings and emotions of a better humanity with hope. We need hope in these dark times, you are helping many people. God bless you. Appreciation from the UK.
I love how you appreciate Duran Duran! I saw them in concert in 1984 in Dallas when I was just 15 and it was such a great experience!! I agree with you, the bass player John Taylor is on point. 💖
I've always loved this song and Duran Duran, there are great songs from them, I love Wild Boys and Reflex and I'm lucky to remember them lol. The bass is wonderful, John Taylor is a fantastic guitarist who really knows his stuff. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love hugs and peace to everyone Mary-Ellen UK
Ahh, thank you for reacting to one of my favorite Duran Duran songs! Been a fan of theirs since the 80s. I had their posters all over my school locker, lol 😍 John Taylor on bass is brilliant and was recently voted best bassist. Their catalog is huge, so dive on in and we'll be here for the ride! ❤
Their new stuff is just as good, in my opinion. Anniversary is a top tune, but Planet Earth, their first hit, will always be my favourite. John Taylor is indeed one of the best bassists out there.
Someone was always flipping over a table in those 80's videos lol. One of the better bands of the 80's & John Taylor absolutely no joke on the bass & was always good with that funk slap.✌
I knew you’d love the bass in this one! Like you said, John always sounds good but the bass line is so clear you can’t miss it. Sometimes I like to close my eyes and just follow the bass, especially during this song. Thanks for reacting to Duran Duran!
Duran Duran is so great. They’ve got everything going for them. And they’ve been so great from the beginning. Their first single, “Planet Earth” will always be my favorite. 💜💜💜
Duran Duran set the bar for music videos. As they progressed, the videos became mini movies, were set in exotic locations. They were very much known for the visuals along with the music.
I, like many other teenyboppers across the globe, swore that JOHN TAYLOR was exclusively my baby! Nothing else made my heart throb like seeing him in videos on MTV! 💗 He was and STILL is one bad ass bass player! ❤❤
This was actually the first Duran Duran song I ever knew, I was a little kid in Nigeria and my Dad would buy NOW music vhs tape from London and I saw this song
I can remember when my Sister & all of her friends were gathered in front of the TV to watch the World Premiere of this Video on MTV ! They kept announcing it for weeks and everyone was waiting in anticipation to see this Video & Song since I think it was their first release after the huge success of the "RIO" Album. Always loved this song & video.
Duran Duran are so much fun. They were the hot guys that all the teenage girls fell in love with in the 80’s. ❤❤❤❤I had the biggest crush on all these guys. They were hot honeys LOL!
Great reaction video-you always make us smile! Some Duran Songs with great bass: I don’t want your love, Girls on film, My own Way and from the new album All of you …and many many more
Ahhh I recommended this one awhile back. No one ever reacts to it but it's not some obscure song from their catalog and it is a...masterpiece. Beautiful video too.
The was the first song of my first ever live concert..great memories! Went with my sister Dec 83 Brighton/UK..dressed the same as that video with Black baggy "wet look" trousers and a blue shirt + a "wedge" haircut hanging over my eye - thought I was super cool!! :-D
Ahhhh yeaaaaah! I loved them sooooo much despite my pale face dressed in all black Doc Marten wearing hard core new waver looking self 😂😂😂😂 John Taylor is still dreamy! It bothered me so much although I just said that that people focussed on their looks and didn't take into account the fantastic musicianship that went into each and every song. There's still one of my favourite bands and I never get sick of hearing their music!
John Taylor is one of the finest bass players around. Amazing he only picked up a bass a couple years before their first album came out. His syncopated bass lines are fire…..Also, Simon LeBon is an incredible lyricist. Amazing.
It’s all about the bass. Love this song and the way it just builds and builds.
Duran didn't have a lead guitarist, they had a lead bassist.
Andy Taylor was the lead guitarist. When he left they had Warren Cucurillo.
@@danigoddess I think Taira meant how so much of DD's music is driven by John Taylor's basslines. The bass took center stage. No denying both Andy & Warren made amazing contributions on guitar.
Power Station is a must then. Arcadia is a logical band to do as well!
John Taylor on bass + Andy Taylor on guitar = 1 + 1 = 3
Preach it Taira! John Taylor's bass guitar WAS the lead guitar in many of their songs. Andy Taylor was great in his own right, his haunting and beautiful guitar sound on this song alone is very distinctive. but the backbone of their songs was John Taylor. My FAVORITE bass player of all time... nobody is even close to him.
John Taylor is one of the greatest bassists to ever pick up the instrument. Indisputable.
I agree. I also love Tony Levin. I can always tell when he's playing the bass in the back of a song. Such a specific signature style of playing.
Matt freeman….hold my beer
hideously underappreciated by american bass players.
The fact that he is self taught, which makes him even more impressive! Love John Taylor....love Duran Duran! Thank you!!
Vote Duran Duran #RRHOF. They are currently in the lead for nominees in the fan votes. John Taylor is a bass goat. Recently voted #1 by music radar. Their newest album Future Past has some great tunes too. This is my favorite rabbit hole to go down.
I can’t believe they aren’t in the hall yet, it’s mind boggling
I don't think they get enough credit for how innovative they were.
Their induction needs to happen already. It's so long overdue!
My FIRST BALLOT choice this year!!! 💯💯😎
John Taylor fantastic bass player for this genre, but in the same genre i think mick karn ( japan) and nick beggs ( kajagoogoo) just pip him... not much in it tho.
Great choice of band and track. Love your channel budd. 👍👍
I've been a huge fan of Duran Duran since the mid 80's, in my opinion they don't have a bad song.
100% agree. 👌👍

Your mom sounds like a true Duranie.😁💕
LOVE that song, one of my favourites.
I see your New Religion and raise you Hold Back the Rain.
Just do Duran Duran album reviews and we will all be happy 😊
@@AJ17_ Oh man, that's one of my top DD songs, Hold Back The Rain. Last song on side one of the Rio cassette, if I recall. I had that when it came out!

Agreed. And also "come undone" is up there too as one of their best. very different sound for them.
Simon said in an interview it was the moment U2 hit the stage at Live Aid one year that everyone just shifted from DD to the U2 type of music.
I think it was 85 but I'm not sure.
Have always been hopelessly in love with Simon LeBon. To be able to write those lyrics, sing them AND look like THAT?!! Yowza!
Duran Duran fans go vote for them for rock and roll hall of fame !!!!!!!
Duran Duran is the most important and significant band of the 80s. Period.
Jay, 4 words for Duran Duran: NEW MOON ON MONDAY.
prob my fav DD track !

Yeah, this was a HUGE radio hit in 1983. We were spoiled back then :)
Woohoo, I love this era Duran Duran! The Live Arena version of this was great too. Thanks!
Up for the R and R hall of fame. Vote them in!
They had a great hit I like called ‘The Reflex’. You should listen to that one.

One of my favourites by Duran Duran
This is song that made me a Duran fan for life!!!
This really was a standout song. So many hits, but this one seemed special.
I love Duran Duran still a huge fan. They have so many great songs. John Taylor on bass he is my favorite.
JT's my favorite too...
John Taylor rocks that bass guitar !

the bass!
Duran Duran is the cream that rose to the top. Still going!
John Taylor's bass playing is good, but it is the guitar riff that Andy Taylor is playing that makes this a great song.This is my favorite Duran Duran song.
...and THEN they did a COVERS Album in the 90's and KILLED EVERY SINGLE SONG
Even their cover of "911 Is a Joke"? John said he chose that one because he wanted to see how many people they could piss off with it.

Totally agree. Great recommendation!
One of my favorite groups as a teen! Duran Duran were innovators of video and music in the 80s
Loved this song! John Taylor is a fabulous bass player.
There's a very elite group of artists to have a vinyl record enter the charts at #1. This song put DD into that group. Love this band.
Their new stuff is just as good, in my opinion. Anniversary is a top tune, but Planet Earth, their first hit, will always be my favourite. John Taylor is indeed one of the best bassists out there.

The Arcadia album was awesome. My favourite release was Goodbye is Forever.

John Taylor is one of the finest bass players around. Amazing he only picked up a bass a couple years before their first album came out. His syncopated bass lines are fire…..Also, Simon LeBon is an incredible lyricist. Amazing.
I WANT MY MTV!!
Nigel John Taylor an underrated bass player.
Don’t say your easy on me, you’re about as easy as a nuclear war…. Classic understated 80s lyrics.
