How can you not HATE John Taylor...he's 61 and still has all his hair and looks great. hahaha I LOVED Duran Duran as a teen in the 80s. My 8yo daughter just asked me today "What did men's hair look like when you were a kid back in the 90s"...I corrected her that it was actually the 80s...and I instantly took her straight to a video of REFLEX... "Sweety, that's men's hair in the 80s!" .... btw, Mr Taylor, if you see this, I was JOKING about hating you, but losing my hair when I was about 20 yrs old does make me jealous of you guys! :-)
these guys took over my soul as a teenager in the 80's. Duran Duran is my all time favorite band. Up there with the Beatles, U2, Tom Petty... I was raised on a farm in a small town in nowhere America in a small state. We never had concerts or bands in our town, and I worked jobs in high school and worked my way though college, so I never had a chance to travel to larger cities to see bands when they came to larger states and cities within a few hours drive. But I finally saw Duran Duran in 1997 (or was it 98?) Tampa Florida during the Electric Barbarella tour. I was 2nd row, stage left, right in front of Nick. They were better live than recorded. These guys are the best and I'm so glad you are still rocking... When the hell will they be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!??? They should have been there years ago! Thanks for being such a great part of my life guys. I can't wait to see your next works of art. UPDATE!!!!! THEY MADE IT! ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME BABY!!! Plus, I'm seeing them again this August in the DFW area! Can't wait!
I love the way is Nick Rhodes, since he was young, always polite in the interviews. He listens, he has very nice eyes contact, and then wait to talk and answer, he looks so calm, I love him, he is so handsome too!!!!
It’s so dear how JT has love and respect for his childhood friend and band mate —it’s evident from the attention he pays—plus a man who listens is just wow! 🎉
I’m 53 - and been there from day one ! :) I’m really thankful to you both for sharing your talent to all of us throughout the years. I’m a creative and having people like yourselves in the world is pure delight! Love your music and artistic landscape you explore . This great chat shows humanity and wonderful creative minds !
I loved this band as a pre-teen/teenager and love them/the music still. I so appreciate this group, even more today and having the ability to watch a conversation between two friends makes them all the more real. The human-ness shown through beautifully. The simple human interaction was wonderful to witness and increases my appreciation all the more for all the years, tears, hard work and achievement! Duran Duran has been my favorite since 1983 and will ALWAYS be my #1 band.
Nick and John are so lovely. Nick inspired me to start wearing make up. John is lovely too and spiritually inspiring, we've been through the same battle with alcohol which he has been ppen about. First listened to the Rio album in 1988 when I was 7. Thank you very much guys!
The more I listen to Nick, the more I relate to his personality, which isn't easy because he's always been so private! Certainly the most private out of the five!
