I'm no bass player, and until I recently listened to John Taylor's (excellent) autobiography I wouldn't even have said I was a particularly big Duran Duran fan. But you know what? After listening I went back and listened to the whole Duran Duran back catalogue and I realised all over again just what an amazing band they were back when I was a teenager in the 80's. And John Taylor? I never even realised what a massive part of their musical success he was. That led me here, and as has already been commented his infectious smile and pure happiness at revisiting these grooves has brought a massive smile to my own face. Bravo. Top bloke.

'Nard was a god - MASSIVE pocket, in fact, that could be said of the whole Chic team, easily "One of the best rhythm sections of the 20th century" - just check out the bass line on this song for a rare, unreleased Fonzi Thornton solo album, produced by the Chic team ( 'Nard & Nile etc ) - it's Mr Bernard Edwards on bass - and it's not just Bernard's note choices, it's his articulation, it's like he's carrying on a conversation with you … it's both where he puts the notes, plus the space he leaves to let the groove breathe around them - the guy was just incredible - John couldn't have picked a better influence: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iK5pfpaZy8-9n3k.html

8:10 Never a truer word spoken, John. Seeing you smile when you play, I imagine that you’re having some wonderful memories. It makes me smile, as well, with my wonderful memories of your masterpieces. 🎸 ❤️

I always liked the bass lines in Duran Duran's songs. This is so cool to hear John play them after all these years.

It's because all those chords are in the key of cminor, something I realized along the way

La magia de internet, poder ver a mis ídolos de la adolescencia. Recuerdo aún cuando vino Duran Duran a Montevideo en 1993. Saludos

I would enjoy if he does " The seventh and the stranger". Love the bass line.

Hope you don't mind the correction, but it's "The 7th Stranger". No worries! 😉

I added my like, that’s for sure. John is one of the meanest bass players I’ve ever heard…never enough credit. I grew up with DD in the 80s! 👍🏾

I remember when this song came out in 1985. I played it so many times I wore the tape out. Hearing John walk us through the history of the song was so much fun--literally a trip back in time.
