John Taylor doesn't get the credit he deserves for his great bass playing
I was just thinking how great he is at bass on this song.Every song really!
Rio has one of the most well known bass lines around. It's absolute fire.
@@girlathebeach absolutely, even when he was with Power Station he was doing the same great bass lines.
I LOOOOOVE John Taylor!!! That man is like a fine wine-- just gets better with age! 🤩
Grateful to read this in comments.
Congrats to Duran Duran on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2022! Please guys - You have got to listen to their 90s comeback hit “Ordinary World”. Beautiful
Definitely Ordinary world 🌎
Agreed... Ordinary World is my favorite. Save a Prayer is #2 and A View to A Kill is #3.
That's fantastic news. They so deserve it!
They already did ordinary world about a month ago
It's about dang time!
Bass: Nuts. Simply nuts. For the time, it was really challenging and prominent. Overshadowed by the image and style of the band and its videos. These guys were legit musicians.
John Taylor is amazing bass player 🎸
My husband was never a Duran Duran fan until I took him to one of their concerts. Maybe 16-18 years ago-the tour with all original members, including Andy Taylor. Anyway, he walked away saying how that concert changed his tune about them as a band and how they were serious legit musicians. He said it was one of the best concerts he had been to. And he has been to probably 500+ concerts.
Rio is still one of the most, if not the most complicated basslines out there. A friend of mine who plays bass once said "Oh it's not THAT hard!" He then went to play it to show me and effed up like 5 seconds in. LOL!!
"For the time?" lol -- It was alleged they didn't write their songs, too. And I thought they'd suck in concert, you know must be a studio band, nope they were amazing.
@@vincegedeon6583 He is self taught as well. I love!!
"Notorious", "Girls On Film", and "Save A Prayer". All of these are Duran Duran songs you need to hit!
Of all their songs I think I like Save A Prayer the most!! Great song!
Can’t go wrong any of those. A lot of their album tracks are just as good as the released hits…New Religion, Skin Trade, Vertigo (do the demolition). Don’t forget the James Bond theme “A View to a Kill”
Save A Prayer is my favorite of theirs!
THE REFLEX-DURAN DURAN 🧨🧨🧨
Great suggestions 👌🏻 - i’m going to see them live on 2 July in Scotland - save a prayer’s on their set list as the final song & i can’t wait! 😍😍😍
John Taylor's bass playing is the real highlight here!
smokin' stuff...always gets under looked.
TOTALLY!!! 🙌
BIG FACTS!!!!!!
I was just going to ask them to listen to it again and pay attention to the bass line. During the sax solo the real "thing" is the bass.
He is so underrated as a musician. I think its due to him being so attractive. Even girls who didn't like Duran Duran were in 💘 with John Taylor back in the day. People tend to wright off anyone loved by teenage girls.
probably the single most iconic video of the 80s.
Absolutely one of them. Thriller and Sledgehammer are up there. :)
The bass line on this song isn't given enough credit and they're gonna love the horns!
Literally, every comment is about the bass and/or the bass player.
The bassline in this song is ridiculous. John Taylor (21 at the time) is absolutely smashing it.
One of my all time favourite basslines.
I still have a hard time believing that this song came out FORTY YEARS AGO!!! THAT JUST CAN’T BE…I remember the day this song debuted on MTV like it was only yesterday!!!
Same 🤯
What shut your ugly mouth are you kidding me does that’s this mean I’m getting old? Nah just getting better that’s better not bitter lol
Hush your dirty mouth. This song isn’t that old
This whole album is a masterpiece! All tracks are awesome!
Yuck
@@abrahamlincoln6744 Your Mama should be Embarrassed and your Daddy should have pulled out.
Yes! Last Chance on the Stairway, New Religion, Save a Prayer. It's a keeper!
Last Chance on the Stairway is epic
"hold back the rain"
In terms of the 80's, DD was high art. Their music and videos were absolute top notch. They took a perfectionist attitude toward everything, and it paid off.
So true! Their videos were cinematic in the early days.
Congrats! You've just heard one of the very best bass lines in popular music.
The "futuristic sound" is the unmistakable sound of the Roland Jupiter 6 synthesizer in arpeggiator mode.
Did you used to have one of those too?
@@twenty3enigma I still do
Damn! Apparently, I missed the mark. This sound was created with the Roland Jupiter 4. Close, but no cigar.
Jupiter 8
@@neptune9 - Wrong. It was a Roland Jupiter 8.
No one can bend a note like Simon Le Bon. Such a unique sound. Perfect 80's new wave/ synth music.
I was a 13 yr old girl and had my walls platered with magazine pics and posters... I was in love with Simon Lebon. He was my first Love❤ lol
@@tghost739 girl you stole my comment! I was also 13 years old and in looooooooove with the gorgeous Simon!! ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
@@csf7773 Nice! 😍
God I miss the 80s. You'll love "The Reflex" , "Ordinary World", "Wild Boys", "Is There Something I Should Know?", "Union of the Snake", "Girls on Film" "Notorious", "Come Undone".......I mean, the list goes on forever, they were easily top 10 band of the 80's.
Don't forget "Skin Trade"!
Just really Good times 🙂👍🎶😁
@@compostcorner5934 The absolute best!
John Taylor might be the most underrated bass player of his era... amazing talent
J & Amber, you'll love their"New Moon On Monday" and "Girls On Film" !!! Very big band in the 80's and into the 90s! edit-they will go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
the uncut Girls on Film
Yes!! "Girls On Film" never gets any love these days! They never play it on the radio anymore!
I heard Girls on Film playing in a shop today, and I couldn’t help but sing along :D
@@buzztp5119 you trying to get their channel struck? 😂
Don't forget Planet Earth! A hit before Rio was released....bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah....this is Planet Earth...
The bass! It makes the song! John Taylor!
You guys have no idea how Duran Duran's videos changed MTV and music stations all around the world. Keep in mind this was in 1984-85 timeframe and these videos were a HUGE deal.
Jay & Amber can't believe you guys didn't notice the killer bass playing by John Taylor. Also that sound you were digging is Nick Rhoades on keyboard/synth.
when you first listen to a DD song, especially off of Rio, it can be next to impossible for the brain to take it all in. I can understand focusing on one thing at a time. Next listen they will catch that crazy bass, maybe after that they will appreciate that drum beat, which is not simple. We knew that Amber would get taken away by that sax tho. lol
@@dipsydoodle7988 I listened to this song dozens of times before I noticed the amazing bass. You're right, there is a lot to take in. But once you notice the bass line, you listen for it every subsequent times you hear the song.
Seriously! It carries the whole song!!!
I hear the Niles Rodgers influence in the bass line too. It’s 🔥🔥
I never realized the bass player shreds in this song. Very impressive.
That would be the great John Taylor.
I hated Duran Duran when I was in HS in the eighties but I had to give props to the amazing bass playing. Now that I am grown I really learned to appreciate their unique talents and songwriting.
Welcome.
Being a teenager in the 80s was THE BEST EVER!!!! ❤❤❤
Being a 20-something in the '80s wasn't bad, either. In fact, being a kid in the '60s, a teen in the '70s, a 20-something in the '80s, and I would even add a 30-something in the '90s was the best of all worlds.
I was in my twenties and that was great too
"Rio" was the 2nd Duran Duran single to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking @ #14 in 1983. Of their first 7 charted Hot 100 singles, it's the only one that missed the Top 10. Overall, between 1982 -2004, Duran Duran charted 22 singles, 11 in the Top 10 including 2 #1 hits.
You are definitely the Chart-Master! You must have Joel Whitburn's entire collection!
@@Shrykespeare LOL! Yeah Patrick, I am a devotee of the Joel Whitburn books. Just trying to provide some facts for those who didn't live through these eras or didn't pay that much attention. I watched the Rob Squad vids for a long time and never commented and questions were asked about years of release and at what point in an artist's career a particular song was released, etc. Sometimes they guessed correctly but sometimes they didn't. So, since I do have access to the stats, lately I've been adding some context to when the record was released, how high it charted and the level of career the artist attained. Maybe it was after they did "Afternoon Delight," when Jay said they needed to dig deeper into Starland Vocal Band hits that I thought maybe I could provide some assistance. Not trying to be a Mr.-Know-It-All A-hole, just a source of info.
@@markfadness9204 appreciated
Nice information. Just to be accurate you are referring to the US charts since CZcams's audience has no boundaries. In the UK Duran Duran had 33 charted singles. In the U.S., Duran Duran actually had 21 charted singles and not 22. Their last Billboard Hot 100 single to chart was in 2004 with (Reach Up For The) Sunrise at #89. To be on the success side of songs and the Billboard charts, a band wants to at least hit the Top 40. Duran Duran had 14 Top 40 tracks in the US. Their last Top 40 US release was Come Undone in 1993, which peaked at #7. Honorable mention would have been the following release, Too Much Information, which peaked at #45 also released in 1993.
Duran Duran broke in the United States on the release of Hungry Like The Wolf, which radio stations refused to play during the first two attempts of the songs release. Nothing new since that was the take on Duran Duran's debut album in the US. Duran Duran was more of a college radio and dance club band with a fringe audience at the beginning in America (1981). HLTW was released three separate times in the US before reaching #3 in 1983.
What helped Duran Duran in the radio market was David Kerschenbaum remixing songs made for the Carnival EP released in September of 1982. The RIO album was released in the US in May of 1982 along with HLTW. Capitol Records, (EMI Records subsidiary) the American label responsible for DD in the US, re-released the Rio album in November 1982. The US re-release of RIO added many of the remixed Kerschenbaum tracks. Kerschenbaum emphasized the remixes with more guitar and brought the rhythm section more so to the forefront to make the tracks more dance-able, this caught on with radio making HLTW more attractive to radio programmers.
Before Duran Duran caught on to Top 40 radio in the US, you could hear them on college radio and especially on New Wave Music radio stations such as WLIR (Long Island), KROQ (Los Angeles) and KYYX (Seattle).
Duran Duran nearly had three consecutive #1 songs in the US. The first #1 was The Reflex in the summer of 1984 and the second #1 (and the first James Bond track ever to reach #1) was A View To A Kill. However, in between these two tracks was The Wild Boys which peaked at #2. The track entered the #2 position behind Daryl Hall & John Oates #1 single, Out Of Touch in December 1984. The Wild Boys was then leapfrogged by Madonna's Like A Virgin which remained the #1 song for six consecutive weeks. The Wild Boys kept its #2 slot behind Like A Virgin for three more weeks before falling to #3. That's a total of 4 weeks at #2 behind two artists. Any other week, The Wild Boys would have been a #1 single.
Nile Rodgers helped Duran Duran get to the #2 position by producing The Wild Boys. He also kept Duran Duran from the #1 position by producing Madonna's Like A Virgin.
That bassline!!!
You guys have been doing SO MANY early 80s jams... KEEP IT UP! Duran Duran was so huge in the early days of MTV, it's so hard to describe. Check out "Girls on Film", "New Moon On Monday", "Ordinary World".... or, if you want to check out something BRAND NEW, do "Anniversary", from their 2021 album marking their four decades as a band. It's awesome!
One of the Biggest group in the 80s…..they were HUGE! Rio is my favorite! Wild Boys was cool too in their first “come back”.
@@melvinsmiley5295 ....yes - Wild Boys and Union of the Snake.......both great songs !
Their best song?? (This or 'Hungry Like The Wolf'.) Peak 80's that NEVER gets old!! You need to do 'Wild Boys' next. Or 'A View to a Kill'. Would also love to see more Pet Shop Boys and INXS.
They had some sick bass lines.😳
John Taylor is just incredible 😍😍
Duran Duran is the absolute best band ever. They are being inducted in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. I'm beyond proud and excited.
They should've been inducted a long time ago. They are the best! STILL my favorite band ever.
I agree with these remarks. :) D2 didn't hit my radar until '82, but they've been my favorite band ever since. Can't wait to see them again this August!
Can't touch Pink Floyd though
Good underrated band. But hardly the "Best" band ever. Even Simon & the boys wouldn't agree with that.
@@JohnJohnson-mo4bn Ok, ok. Objectively you're right, of course. But in that sense that every object in the universe has some resonant frequency, Duran Duran has somehow managed to tap into mine from day one. More accurate to say that they're the best band for me to listen to. It's almost as if they were Taylor-made to suit my tastes.
(Oof, sorry. Just made myself wince with that one.)
Biggest selling band of the 80s. MJ, Madonna, Duran Duran. And they have so many great hits and many different sounds. Love them!
I think Phil Collins/Genesis, Queen, U2, Prince, Springsteen and others would say different.
U2 wasnt really as big until after 1985. Duran Duran was bigger from 1982-85. Even Bob Geldof chose the band first before others for the Band Aid song, cause they were the biggest band in the world in 1984.
@@leecook8818 Van Halen and the Police as well.
Can we take a sec and appreciate that sick ass bass line? John's kicking that guitars ass and he's telling the rest of the band to "try and keep up" 😂
I absolutely love how you guys refer to this as having a futuristic sort of sound. Imagine how we felt hearing this nearly 40 years ago!! They were SO ahead of their time.
Next, you should check out "Girls on Film." It was the song that was their biggest hit before they released their mega-hit album, "Rio." It's a wonderful glimpse into where Duran Duran was coming from before they became global rock stars ("Girls on Film" also has a GREAT video).
This is one of those songs that even forty years after the fact make you remember where you were and what you were doing when it was getting heavy airplay. It's very evocative of 1982 and early '83 and makes me "homesick" for the '80s.
OMG!! John Taylor's bassline! He's a King of Syncopation. And that ghost notes are just nailed it. It gives dynamics to the whole song. Still love this song in 2024
Duran Duran was kind of the big group of the mid-eighties, heard everywhere. Their first big hit in the US was "Hungry Like the Wolf" from 1982, but my favorite song of theirs was "Planet Earth" from 1981.
My brother had the album. Happened to have a scratch and would skip to repeat "Planet Earth" ad infinitum.
Kind of? They were the biggest group in 1985 Bob Gelfof states there would have been no Live Aid if Duran Duran did not participate.
The Bass!
My 2 favorite Duran Duran songs are "Wild Boys" and "Union of the Snake"
The use of color, the blues, pinks, corals and more captures the whole vibe of the early-to-mid 1980's in so many ways.
The great Sax solo was by a gent named Andy Hamilton. He wasn’t a member of DD , but a studio and touring musician. He played with many other artists , Elton John , Paul McCartney , David Bowie to name a few.
He was in Orchestral Manuevers in the Dark i believe
They have been my favorite since 1982. I'm a hard core Durranie. That's why they won highest voted band this year in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ❤
This is my favorite song by them and I was a full on Duranie back in the day. Upbeat tempo songs "Wild Boys", "The Reflex", "View To A Kill", and "Girls On Film" are a few of their big hits. Although you really shouldn't miss "Save A Prayer" its such a beautiful ballad. Just a heads up the video for Girls On Film is very risqué.
You're still a Duranie in my heart.
Duran Duran's bass player John Taylor and guitar player Andy Taylor were also in Power Station who you recently reviewed. DD was their main band and PS was a side project
Roger Taylor was also involved with The Power Station as well as the Arcadia project with Nick Rhodes and Simon Le Bon.
My favorite Duran Duran songs are "Wild Boys" "Save a Prayer" and "Cracks in the Pavement". Wild Boys was their best video. If you liked Rio, you'll love Wild Boys!
Wild Boys was the one where Simon nearly drowned, as the windmill mechanism he was tied to got stuck when his head was underwater. This actually left in the video. I remember that appearing in the news at the time.
Wild Boys is favorite DD song
I was 10 when this song came out...I miss the 80's....Sending out good vibes to everyone!!!!
Their lush and exotic videos often overshadowed just how truly talented they really are. Brilliant lyrics and great musicianship have kept them relevant for decades.
In my opinion this is the greatest Duran Duran song ever. Every member brought their absolute best on this one and there's nothing out of place or excessive in this song. Just AMAZING!!
If I could only pick one song and one video to represent the 80's, this would be it. This video was MTV and everything the medium had to offer at the time. This video showed what a visual element could add to a song, and the band just looked like they were having an amazing time being there and doing something that was so new. One of the best videos ever made, hands down, thanks for sharing.
no way this defined the 80s more than MJ's Thriller video.
Rio is one of my favorite Duran Duran song and the video. Damn we had it good in the 80s.
DD's bassist is a freaking badass. Most underrated element of this group.
I still can't believe I never seen this group perform in concert in their prime, Still kicking my butt for that. And God I miss the damn 80's.
One of the all time greats...great bass line, clever lyrics.
The song is not about a woman, but Duran's first impressions of America in their 1981 tour of the US. The 'Rio' album cover is iconic as it was painted by Patrick Nagel, I got into his work from the album cover. I also saw them in 1984 at their height.
I still would love you guys to react to "Safety Dance" by *Men Without Hats* - but I warn you, watch out for the official music video, it's pretty wacky. Then again, that's quirky 80's for you. 😂
Ignoring the visuals however, it's a great party tune 🥳
Pop goes the world
Yes!! Great song!!
I was a BIG fan of Men Without Hats, especially their criminally underappreciated album Folk of the 80s, Part III
HUGE HUGE hit for "Duran Duran", who were at the forefront of the "New Wave" music that came after "Punk". Also, congrats 👏 to them for being inducted into the "Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2022. 🇬🇧🎵🎙
The bass is perfection, and the contrasting sharp sounding guitar riffs are all I need!
Give Ordinary World a listen.Beautiful song!!
The album cover art for this album is peak 80s...so cool. This is my favorite Duran Duran tune and the bass line is yummy. In fact, you can watch John Taylor on CZcams doing a bass tutorial for this song.
Yes! He does an excellent tutorial! Such a great guy and an excellent musician!
Loved seeing them at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago in 1984. What a fun concert that was. Planet Earth and Girls On Film both bangers.
Never got to see Duran Duran live but Rosemont was a staple of my concert experiences. Alpine Valley, World Music Theater, Poplar Creek, Ravinia, Vic Theater, The Aragon, and Thirty Whale had me rocking endlessly.
Yes! Planet Earth and Girls on Film both rockin.
I never noticed how much the Bass rips in this song. 🎸
It's one of the most fun Basslines to play
The boat featured in this video is a "Ketch" style sailing yacht. She is named Ilean and was built in the 1930s in Scotland. Ilean was a charter yacht and had done many photo shoots in the 1970s and 80s. In the early 2000's she was spotted in an English harbor in serious disrepair. Beat down and forgotten, she was doomed for the junkyard. The owner of Panera watch company saw her and recognized her from this video. He bought Ilean and spent 4 years having her restored. In 2009 Ilean was entered in the Antigua Regatta yacht race. Some members of Duran Duran were in attendance as Ilean finished the race in all her original glory. They wept and cheered as she cruised by.
Rio was the very first cassette tape I bought. I was in my early teens. I was in love with Duran Duran back then.
I suggest these Duran Duran songs: Planet Earth, Girls On Film & Is There Something I Should Know
Yes to the above, BUT regarding Girls On Film, audio version only, the video version is not family-safe, if you know what I mean…
Finally... RIO! :) Thank you so much for reacting to this song/video. John Taylor is perhaps the greatest bass player still touring the world today. He should be top 5 all time greatest bass players in the rock and roll era. Duran Duran will be in Fort Worth Texas this August, still playing 40 years after this video was released! Hard to believe it's already been 40 years since I first watched this video as a young teen. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will now have Duran Duran gracing their hall later this fall!
Best glamour band of the 80s and 90s!
This was the first Duran Duran song I ever heard. I feel so old remembering when the video first premiered on MTV.
Some more Duran Duran suggestions: New Moon on Monday, Wild Boys, Union of the Snake, Notorious, and Save a Prayer
Hands down my favorite bass line ever.
This is the iconic video of the 80s. So perfect!
Duran Duran - what a great 1980s "boy band". Another upbeat song of theirs is The Reflex. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Boy Band = A group of "musicians" who rarely play their own instruments, consisting purely of reasonably attractive males who appeal to girls ages 10-14. This term does not apply to all bands that are comprised solely of males. It is used in reference to a specific genre of music artists who perform for a pre-teen audience in a mainstream pop/rock style.
They did a reaction video for the Reflex. Check it out. Fun!
@@jen_alanfromchicago53 Pfffttt . . . ! There's a reason I put quotation marks around the term. Lighten up!
@@MindsetMom Oh well, can't watch them all!
To refer to Duran Duran as a “boy band” with or without quotations is preposterous! These guys are the real deal, not only do they play their own instruments but they are top notch musicians and can actually harmonize better than any boy band you can name! 2. They’ve already reacted to The Reflex.
Oh man, my brother made the mistake of buying me my first record when I was about 12. It was Duran Duran’s Seven and the Tagged Tiger album. I was so far beyond hooked. Die hard Duran fan since then. Great live shows! Been to more than my share over the years. Check out these
The Reflex
New Moon on Monday
Ordinary World
Save a Prayer
Notorious
A View to a Kill (Bond movie song)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️My FAVORITE Duran Duran song!!! (and that says A LOT bc I LOVE all of their songs so much).
I’m a lifetime Duranie! I love Rio, the song, the video, and the amazing 1982 album, that I own In vinyl! I am so excited that my guys are being inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame this year, 2022! Duran Duran was the best of the eighties New Wave/New Romantic era and they are still touring and making new music!! Some more hits to check out are Wild Boys, New Moon on Monday, Union of the Snake, Notorious, I Don’t Want Your Love, and many more! Always play the videos for Duran Duran because they are always fun!❤️❤️
This album is probably their magnum opus. You guys should check out “New Religion” from the same Rio album, very underrated tune with a funky bass line (as usual 😎) from John Taylor.
Definitely gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
Never appreciated Duran Duran until I got older and really listened to their music. I was in party mode to much when this stuff first came out!
Man the 80s, taking me back to my early 20s! MTv, watching this video over and over, so many great bands and they madeit to the Hall of Fame finally!
They were the second wave British Invasion after The Beatles., Love this song. It’s about their fascination with America and it’s very well hidden in a song about the elusive “Rio “.
You guys HAVE to do the official video for A View To a Kill next. It's the theme song for the James Bond movie - and the video is SO much fun. The movie clips are mixed into it - and everyone from the band is also a spy. And the song is fantastic!
I love the official video, but for a first listen all of the movie sound effects are very distracting.
I love that song. Bring me back to such great memories in my life.
@@dipsydoodle7988 But that's what makes the video so much fun. It's like a little movie in a movie. It's all those extras that make it worth watching - and that Jordan and Amber WANT to see. I think they would love it.
@@jeannieschmidt2217 I know. I really love the video, but I'm so torn. The opening riff of that song is absolute fire and it's drowned out on the video. I wouldn't be mad tho if they did do the video. It's just a personal preference for me. I play the first ten seconds of that song over and over. 🤣
Great song, the video's a bit cringe
John Taylor killing it on the bass in this song.
The ghost notes make it fun to play.
"Rio" was written as a love letter to the United States - and it shows in all the energy and upbeat lyrics they brought to it!
Definitely a staple of everything cool about the 80's!
The 80s RULE... I am so blessed growing up as a young teenager in the 80s..
My fav Duran Duran songs are “Wild Boys” and “Save a Prayer”😁 Also “The Chauffeur” is SO good! Different sound to this but still older Duran Duran and the sounds in it are just🔥🤌🏼 All amazing songs! But truly can’t go wrong with their first album!🥰 Looking forward to more Duran Duran reactions.😊
The official video for The Chauffeur is quite naughty, just as a warning to RSR
That crazy disco bass!
Congratulations to Duran Duran for getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for 2022!!! It's about time for them!!! Rio is one of my favorite songs by them. What a banger song indeed!!!
It's time for Save a Prayer, one of the most beautiful songs ever.
That was so much fun! Took me back! Want to drag out my old Duran Duran button pins I have in the attic!
So proud they are being inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
They were a BIG part of what made MTV the huge success it was in the 80's! Their videos were always fun!
Next try "New Moon on Monday"
and "View to a Kill" ( from the James Bond movie of the same name) its SUCH a cool song!!
I still have my Duran LPs on vinyl
One of my favorite bands are now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 🥳 and fun fact Simon Labon (lead singer) he passion is racing boats. And another fact he almost died during a boat race, the boat he was in tipped over.
John Taylor (basist) was my pre-teen crush, and still him to this day.
I was in love with Simon and my bff was in love with John. 😍😍😂
Thanks for sharing that about Simon. Nick was my crush when I was younger, but as I got older, John got more handsome lol! My cousin and my BFF both liked Simon the best.
If remember correctly the keel snapped on the boat. I think it was his own boat called Drum , I think.
Getting better with Duran Duran.
Ordinary World is probably their finest.
the sax was a great part of 80's music.
RIO!!!
The greatest Bass line ever written. This group was pretty damn good.
Not exactly my type of music back in the day, but they kept popping out hit after hit.
You guys should do a reaction to Duran Duran's "Is There Something I Should Know" video. The song has a high tempo to it also. I think you guys would enjoy it!
Great Video after the "RIO" album videos.
Yes it’s another good one.
With Duran Duran you can see the evolution of how rock/pop gave birth to techno...👍
These guys were slamming the airwaves back in the day! Great, great group.
Another great reaction, thank you.
You should check out, 'Is Something I Should Know?' and 'A View to A Kill', by them, but they have many hits to check out. 🙂 to
Duran Duran OWNED the early 80’s. For a few years, there was no bigger band. It was like Beatle-Mania. The entire Rio album is a masterpiece. Perfect album.
Planet Earth is my favourite Duran Duran song, followed by Hungry Like The Wolf and Wild Boys. Great band!
I remember listening to this song as a young man in the 80s in shall we say… altered states of mind 😂. It was mind blowing!
Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill" please and thank you.
Jay Amber,
First off I have enjoyed your music reactions you have reacted to. The both of you have me as a loyal fan to your channels 😁 I have also started watching your new movie channel reactions. The both of you are wonderful at what you do and I thank you for the entertainment you both provide everyday.
So I know how Amber likes weird names of a band or song if I understand correctly. Well if Amber can so to speak pull a rabbit out of a hat or in this case pull a song out of the hat. I would love for Jay and Amber to react to the song called Safety Dance by Men Without Hats and or the song Weird Science by Oingo Boingo. Keep up the great work. Have a wonderful blessed day and weekend 👍👍
"Dead Man's Party," by Oingo Boingo is another weirdy, but a goodie.
@@maryjennings4913 yes that is another good one . I agree with you one hundred percent 👍
This is Duran Duran's huge hit and album! This is where the movie producers got involved with music videos and put some serious money into these videos (they realized how much they helped artists compared to radio play alone). With Duran Duran with a more glam rock and over-the-top style, I think this video worked great and really takes the audience on a journey from the Ordinary - no doubt! This is about 1982 and Duran Duran is still going strong and are getting inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame this year - totally deserved! Enjoy!
Absolutely love duran duran !!!
