Duran Duran - What's In My Bag? (2009) 

Love the Arcadia moment... And the record as well.

Duran Duran is an amazing band with the right sound still, gathering young and old to enjoy there music, outstanding. From a true fan.

The Duran Duran guys are very nice dudes. They really love music.

John Taylor has insanely great taste. Every record he picked was a classic!

John Taylor seems like a decent chap who digs music. Always a good start.

So true, John Taylor and what a great comparison: Vinyl is to music what the slow-food movement is to cooking.

These guys are hilarious, and I love to hear their stories. Heavily applaud the metaphor of mp3s and eating McDonalds vs records and the slow food movement. Vinyl is bomb.

who would think Simon loves his Zep!! I knew I liked him for a reason back in the 80's

The only vinyl album that I actually played until it was unplayable was Rio. So I have two copies -- one that plays, and the original for sentimental value. I would have so much fun hanging out with these guys browsing in a store like this one. I miss flipping through albums, seeing what treasures are buried in the stacks. They picked up some great LPs.

JT is a smooth dude.

Thanks for posting this clip. I like it when artists are interviewed in casual settings and they are more at ease to offer personal insights rather than the orchestrations of promotional madness. Nice music picks, John and Simon!

Love Simon he's got a great sense of homour still incredibly gorgous DD are still going in 2020 brilliant celebrating 40years wow not many off the eighties still have it!!!!!

My favorite group of the 80's. These guys were "Gods" back then!

Legendary band ❗️

John Taylor has aged nicely like fine wine. He was hot as a young man and he is fine now too. This is a win-win!

Gosh!! What's not to love about these guys

great,great taste in music!

Duran Duran has good taste in music...

i love duran duran. its nice to know they also enjoy listen vynil records.

Now I love Duran Duran more because Simon is a Doors fan

Cant wait for the release of the new album - hurry up guys, dyin in anticipation. A mad duran fan for 20 yrs. Love jo Auckland NZ

I must admit that I now have a new found respect for them.I thought they were tacky 80s pop trash..But they are really cool guys with a outstanding taste in music.And my dirty guilty pleasure is Girls On Film as well..

"Red" by King Crimson is one of John Taylor's favorite albums. Mind=blown.

... And props to John for mellowing out quite nicely over the years.

Loved the girlfriend story! Great band. Looking forward to their concert this summer. xox

Can't go wrong with the Tubes ! Excelent choice

Some fantastic selections there lads really like Duran Duran myself understated.

Duran Duran in San Francisco ca,WTF!!! favorite band.

‪#‎ThrowbackThursday‬: John Taylor and Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran went record shopping at Amoeba San Francisco back in 2009! ‪#‎TBT‬

🎉❤❤Simon is my man 💪

Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed seeing and hearing John and Simon talking about their musical choices.

I love you Simon and John!

The Tubes! YES!!

See that's what I'm talking about. You can tell they're music fans, the albums they picked were so diverse. That, and there's a special meaning behind each one. They need to put out a 180 gram reissue of the Arcadia album!. Yes, I still have my Duran vinyl...including the singles and 12 inch imports :).

Now subscribes to Amoeba on RU-vid. The idea of interviewing musicians inside the record shop rocks. And of course news about the most loved brummies in the world is always a hit :-)

OMG, I saw the Tubes in Monterey Ca in 1982 in a very small venue. God I wish I could remember the name of the club.

Well, John Taylor and I have one thing in common: we both love that AMAZING Nyro/Labelle record.

Probably the best one yet. Very cool guys, excellent picks!

Laughing because the guy didn't get the police on my back joke lmao :')

Back in the day, I played Rio until there was nothing left but skips and scratches. What a great album.

Laura Nyro, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Free, Patty Smith, Doors...I didn't expect they had such good tastes.

Oddly Simons voice isn’t so high pitched in the recent episode of this. Maybe at the time he was suffering from vocal issues, many singers go through it. Probably not... who knows LOL. But DD deserve respect, they were dismissed as a pop boy band of sorts with no actual depth. Absolutely wrong. Master class songwriters, and musicians. They hit everyone with a very excellent new wave album debut and only got better, unfortunately same can’t be said for the late 80’s stuff, and most 90’s, but what a run they had. Taylor’s bassline chops are brilliant, as was his turn in The Power Station with Robert Palmer.

Totally agree with Simon..I have five Led Zep albums in my collection..

Wow! That Mr. John Taylor picked up DEVO, Wow! I'm not a big fan of DEVO but I've seen the album before lots of times. I love how Mr. John Taylor picked up King Crimson! I love that album! I grew up listening to King Crimson and that album in general! I love how Mr. Le Bon picked up the DOORS albums! I've seen those albums everywhere! I've seen Robby Krieger perform a few times at my high school because they started a program in my high school called the Music Path and Robby Krieger helps run the program. When I saw Mr. Le Bon hold up Arcadia So Red The Rose even two of them I thought that's really cool because not only did he get one for himself but he got one for Mr. Rhodes too. That's so sweet if him. 😊 I've listened to the album lots of times and it's an amazing album! 😀👍When Mr. Le Bon picked up School's Out For Summer I thought, Wow! Alice Cooper! At the Battle of the Bands performance at my high school when I was still in High School, Robby Krieger performed that song at the end of the year to end the show and even though I really didn't know it then but I really liked it! 😄

Two nice guys...they've changed and mellowed quite a bit, quite good taste as well.

I really liked this clip! Thanks! I can't wait for their new album!

Simon...I got the "police on my back" joke

such incredible taste surprisingly!

King Crimson ' RED' , fook yeah !

Finally someone mentions King Crimson.

Great interview Thanks

I had all these when I was 18 yrs old I"m 60 now

Major props to Taylor... KC Red, PiL Second Edition, first Tubes LP; fantastic selections - and Simon earns a shout out for Alice Cooper - School's Out. (but they should have thrown a curve and played 'Gutter Cat vs. The Jets' in the BG)

omg simon buying two copies of arcadia cracked me up :')

Yeah I Know Men Finally someone mentions King Crimson

I am always surprised to hear Simon LeBon’s speaking voice. He doesn’t sound like he can sing….. and then he turns out to be one of the most legendary frontmen in pop music! And John Taylor - the bass god! By the way…. great taste in music, guys.

Simon is my dream guy, the clash, patty, led zep, alice cooper !!!!!! ...... yeh baby

That Public Image Ltd that John has, look up the song ALBATROSS, long track perfect for driving distance at night, bass rolling, guitar and steady drum tempo, really he's got a good one there, reissue or not.

Telling they both picked Free , excellent choice.

great score on the Tubes records

Simon!!!!

Simon… I want my Clash album back.

Cool vid, megastars with a great taste in music!

@Trace7173 Very true. Oddly enough though, in California, there are so many "famous" musicians walking around that most people are at ease about it. I still can't hold back sometimes...

Feaking amazing...☺☺♥♥

God Bless`em They are soooooooooo Roger Mooooooooooooore

omg they have amazing taste! omg that guy got a Devo record for a dollar! lol i want to go there!

Gosh when John wants to be left alone he knows how to get people to leave him alone. :)

God and I thought I was the only crazy looking for my vinyl records each time I hear a song, it sounds way better right

I fuckin' love these guys...Rhodes, especially!

Wow Simon have gone up in my estimation which I thought not possible. Great music, races bikes, humble guy. Then gets 3 Zep albums! Was actually listing to no 1 an hour ago.

Come back to Brasil, Brasil love you!

The dude had an Among Us t-shirt before the game even existed... Wow

Hay, saw a RHPS poster in the background in the beginning 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

i can’t help but mention that the interviewer had among us looking characters on his shirt way before among us was a thing, what!? anyway, i really enjoyed seeing freedom of choice in john’s hands.

awesome vid! i love them

So Red the Rose

Gosh....Simon could legit be my soulmate 😍 same humour, funny, pretty much same music taste, likes Alice cooper 😍 me and him could have conversations worth having, and he's hot 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰

Ohhhyes :))))))) This is another positive aspect of being a star......you can afford to buy so many Vinyls !! :)) Perfect :))))

PS yaaa The Tubes !

YUMMY....Still

Nothing wrong with being a rocker! :P

NEU great band

Er.. Duran Duran

Laura Nyro album is incredible

simon has aged 160 years but his voice weirdly is literally that of an 8 year old

surprised there wasnt any Japan in there....

John Taylor has in incredible sense of humor and still looks very handsome.I can't say the same for Simon though unfortunately.

Correct, an informed opinion, an opinion of discernment and good taste, but yes my opinion.

There was a time these guys would be mobbed by screaming girls before getting within 100 feet of a shop like this.

What's the name of that arcadia song you guys played?

Simon has a tiny voice

DEVO!!!!!

The Promise

Proot! I just needed to get that off my chest.

I had to do a double-take when I heard Mark Ronson was producing, hard to think he was once only credited with producing Amy Winehouse, Lily ALlen and Nikka Costa and not a chart topping solo artist in his own right

JT!!!

@amoebaelectro thats simon for ya:)

The producers must have shit a brick when the footage came back and all of the close ups were out of focus.

In the opening scene it looks like the people in the store are clueless of who their standing next to..
