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! :-)

It's freaking Crazy that John Taylor is 60!! And Nick Rhodes is 58. And they both look amazing

I just love and appreciate the down to earth personalities, and the subtle smiles of friends

You can feel the chemistry between these guys , true friends. Great to see.

I'm such a huge Duran fan that sometimes I wonder If I've heard their songs more than they have. I'm not exaggerating.

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!

One of my favorite bands in the 80s and still is

Totally love this. Huge respect for Nick and John. I can relate a lot to Nick in terms of sound sculpting he talks about to not getting tattoos at all. John is fantastic as usual. What draws me to these guys and Duran Duran in general is their child -like spirit, they are still in love with music and music culture and curious about the world and what is in store for tomorrow. It is this optimism that runs through DD's aesthetic and why they have lasted through all the incredible ups and terrible lows. It is a story of survival more than anything.

Even though I wasn't born in the 80s, my parents were from the 80s but they didn't listen to Duran Duran since my parents were still in Vietnam back then. Also, my parents didn't have a radio to listen to music but has heard of some singers. I'm still in high school and I'm obsessed with Duran Duran. My favourite is John Taylor because mostly, I'm attracted to men with beautiful hair but my older brother teased me about obsessing over Duran Duran.

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!!!!

Hi John / Nick 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'm 51 years of age and grew up in Northern Ireland. No bands came to play during the Troubles; Duran did. Kings Hall, Belfast, 1987 and I was there. Thanks for the memories guys and looking forward to some new material! Ne timeas.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, it was like eaves dropping an a natural conversation of friends :D

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 buddies so cute 2021

Hey guys, I still have your vinyl records. From ‘planet earth’ with ‘faster than light’ all the way through to albums years later. Me and my friend Peter in 1984 used to pick up girls by saying, “do you like Duran Duran,” to the point that I met a girl who loved Duran Duran and then we got married. Love you guys, state safe.

Still very lovely & of course musical geniuses! May their music & lyrics continue to bring smiles, rhythm & happiness to the world! 🌎🌍🌏🎼🎹🎵🎸🎶🥁🎤🎨

could listen to this all day long, been a fan of duran duran for 40 years and still love them - seem like such nice guys

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!

Im really stunned how brilliant this guys are. No music lessons but are masters of their craft.

Ohhh, this makes me soooo happy. Wish I'd seen this live!

Interesting to see the dynamics in that band...

They are so handy. Pleasent guys to meet. And their english is so clear and understandable. Calm and never obvious. They remember to me somehow the Beatles, always joking slightly ironically but without exaggeration. Lovely to hear them.

What a wonderful birthday gift! Phenomenal performers, and lovely people, too.

Nick Rhodes has always been my favorite out of any of the members of the group. He obviously has a wicked sense of humor too, I laughed and commented to the tv watching the part where he commented about the ceiling falling down. I was like "No kidding, we can see that.....why is it falling down?" lol

How much do we still love Nick & John??!!!! D2 4evr

I love 😍 the way John & Nick giggled afterwards regarding the pixie boots they used to wear.

Thanks guys for keeping all you lovely music and transformation going through the years. You've been my favorite group since 1981.(sophomore in HS) I just saw Duran Duran on Halloween in Vagas .It was worth the 40 year wait. Only Simon could sing Wild Boys in a wedding dress! Keep up the great work! Thanks you!

Growing up in Italy in the 80's my first real concert was Duran Duran in Florence, Italy! I loved this group!

Nick, still my favorite. Love the laugh and smiles.

The 2 men who single-handedly inspired my hairstyle throughout the 80's. You should see my high-school pictures.

I'm their age, but felt so much younger way back then. I could never imagine the success they had at a young age

Nick is always such a classy man, but I love John being interested in gardening.....i just love them!!!

I really enjoyed this from Duran. What a breath of fresh air from a pop star interview. Please record more guys. You where a very important influence on me as a teen and thank you guys xxxx love n peace

Nick Rhodes will always have part of my heart.

This was so interesting. Thanks for uploading!

I'm glad Nick discovered the synthesizers too.

Absolutely loved this insight into their friendship , been a huge fan from the beginning. Mr Sean Connery was from humble beginnings, but he's from Edinburgh xx

Thank you for doing these live sessions! I sincerely appreciate their musical talent and personalities. Hopefully I’ll see a show soon ❤️

I had thr privilege of seeing thrm live just a few weeks ago, in Scarborough. They were absolutely fantastic and I have to say it was perhaps the best concert I've ever been to and the best night I've ever had. Best concert because it was all about the music and they neve rmissed a beat and Simon Le Bons' voice hit every, single note with perfection. Also, it's a small venue (or feels that way) and they made it feel very intimate. Best night because 8 have spent the last 2 years coiled like a foetus in in a deep, deep depression and the crowd were ecstatic to be there, the staff were kind and the atmosphere electric and contagious. I danced all evening!!! Ive loved these guys from 14 yrs old to today and it's the first time I ever saw them live. What can I say... They brought me back to life ❤️

2 great old mates having a chat! Fantastic thx lads happy dayzz! Loved it. Stay lucky see you next time in Perth.

It’s so wonderful to be able to hear and see these guys as individuals vs the absolute mega larger than life beings I grew to love from the beginning. I’m sure they have their faults, but so can’t see them. Would love to see more of these type things.

You boys look AMAZING 😄!!! Thank you for forming DURAN DURAN!!!! Please never break up and continue to make music. All of your fans love you! Much love and blessings to you two and also Roger and Simon ❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!!!!! DD fan 4EVER!!!!

I love you Duran Duran can't wait too see you guys hope all this is going on we just need slot of no pice of mine stay safe you guys

Looking good John & Nick! Thanks for being candid. It's great to hear from yas.

Love these guys so much. Such a big part of my early teens and up until today. I don't know them but they helped me get through my days in bad homelife. They were my escape. Forever a fan I'll be. ❤️

Thanks for posting this Durantastic interview between good friends! I missed it.. Guess I need to figure out how to NOT miss these live events. Very grateful ❤️

Watching this in fits and starts, Nick talking about science.... ❤️

Wonderful! Thank you!

John looks the same. So does Nick. But my god John has that laugh and it gives me goosebumps!

Love love love this! I have been a fan since the early 80s and this summer I will see them at Red Rocks, CO. I think it will be the 12th time seeing them (I think that is counting Powerstation). My favorite band of all time! I was definitely a hard core Duranie in my teens and have never really recovered! lol

This was a great watch, love them ❤️

Thank you for posting this

I have loved them since I was 9, I'm now almost 50....and Nick has always been my favorite ❤

I always idolized these guys once I discovered their music before they really even hit it big here in the United States in the early 80s. But after watching this I idolize them even more, but in a different way. I realize, now that I'm older, that they are just regular people like me, but with extraordinary musical talent. They are so down to earth that it gives me a whole new appreciation, of not only their music, but of them as human beings.

Duran Duran fueron y son lo mas guys, G-d bless them🤩

There’s a lot of love between these two. ❤❤

dd are like my family,as in they are close to me because they mean so much to me.,ill love them foreverx

You have a lot of very good content & deserve many more friends.

Good to see you're safe and well.

Love u guys, best memories saw u in Sydney 1983 x

They are so polite each other. So funny. So good looking. I was teenager 1985 and I LOVE Simon. Now 52 and he is my dream...! 🥰❤️ Thank you this clip. Hola from Finland 🇫🇮

Love this!!! ❤❤

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!

Bobby Charlton had a "Comb-over"...Nick Rhodes has a "Comb-forward" 😁😆😅

When Nick asks John what is his fav bass player like it's most undiscovered thing ever and then right after that he realizes we all know who it is😂😂

I've never heard these guys speak before, but l now know why they created so much beautiful music... Two beautiful guys...❤🌠

Seeing John Taylor's birthday present is so gratifying.....I LOVE the fact that people still want to OWN things. Streaming and whatnot is free, I know but the PLEASURE of handling, protecting and storing something that you can watch functionning (in my case, my record collection which I have in record racks like a shop)...to me, it's life-affirming. People please, for as long as you can, hold off that extremely frightening prediction 'you'll own nothing but be happy'!! Say no. Have stuff and enjoy it, feel it, preserve it, display it.

That was just fabulous.

These guys are really amazing!!

I thought when John asked Nick whose his favorite keyboard player was I thought he was going to say himself. I thought that Sean Connery made the best James Bond. There is a part two of this video on Facebook I found out. My favorite Bryan is Adams.

Both of them are fantastic

❤❤❤love Nick. Saw them in Manchester 🎶

I'm so glad they are both suspicious of the ongoing Virus news that spews at us ad nauseam. These guys truly lived the Free life of the 80s. They are so cultured too.

These are great questions!

I love you, JT.

Los amo!!!

Yes!!! JT fav bond hero ia sean connery!!!

Nick is Highly underrated as a mere keyboardist, hes really quite a genius!! Love them both!!

Nick is the one I LIKE his music and likes the art of my country, Italy so I highly AGREE with him. Nick has a lot to offer both as person and a great musician. GLAD He likes Italy and the art I LOVE. Angela Umbria Italyh PS: he might like Assisi too.

Love these guys and it's fascinating to listen to them, but no mention of Depeche Mode as favorite keyboardists? I was surprised by that, especially since the Pet Shop Boys were mentioned. Depeche really had the coolest keyboard sounds and really knew how to use them, especially earlier on.

Your lovely music!

I have so much in common run rummer clud and i went to so many london,funk,punk,early electronic and did the art and old 8mm black and white,and much, so more wasp was my first synth and used guitar pedals to experiment,chorus and more and now experiment so such, Thanks mr rhodes form yourve helped my journeyxx

Awesome guys! Cheers!

Love to see them! In Argentina we don’t have much information about DD!

duran duran imy world

They look like that in 2020? I’ll have that they’re having, please.

Brilliant. They are so down to earth and interesting ☺️

I very like Duran Duran

Good for you Nick

Здоровский диалог двух музыкальных гениев - наших современников!!! приезжайте в Россию!!! Мы обожаем вас, Дюраны!!!

🎸 🎹 🌹

You'd be surprised Johnny !!😂

ok here i go,ive loved you for do long

Gotta love how Madonna's "Justify My Love" was used as the opening theme song for this video. Haven't seen her music video for it in ~ 2 years on MTV Classic. Regarding John and Nick's virtual Q&A, I definitely have to agree with Nick about the tattoos. I don't want to be tortured with a needle to put on a tattoo, then remove it. Decades ago, retail employers didn't want to hire anyone with tattoos and piercing. If they were hired, employees had to remove all their extra body piercings and tattoos had to be covered with long clothing or some body make-up. Today everyone including their cat, dog, and baby has a tattoo with body piercings and they get hired for jobs before people like me. There are literally nurses with wrist tattoos and tramp stamps, when I go for doctor's appointments and job interviews now. When I was a teenager back in the '90s, I thought both tattoos and body piercings were cool. By the 21st Century, both became passe as John Taylor said in this video. When I say "passe," it's because Hipsters ruined both! They also ruined fashion, entertainment, as well as Goth, and Punk sub-cultures. Speaking of entertainment, politics has most definitely ruined entertainment over the last 17 years. That was partly why I quit my job in college years ago as a Radio DJ. Therefore, I can empathize with John Taylor saying that politics is really intense here in America. You can't even enjoy the taste of ice cream anymore without being patronized about politics ad nauseam.

They look great.

love this

You both look ver nice. Fabulous

Growing up I thought these guys were pretentious and over the top with all the make up and the fashion. But I really have a newfound interest, seeing how they have continued on for 40+ years and still sound superb (i saw them in San Jose last week). I esp love hearing these two guys and their Birmingham days. I like how they sound so down to earth and self deprecating, which Simon and Roger are like too. Much respect and admiration for these mates!
