ANDY WAS MORE THE SMARTASS WILD BOY.. JOHN WAS MORE THE BAD BOY.. THEY BOTH HAD AN UNBELIEVABLE AND UNIQUE STYLE AND PRESCENCE ABOUT THEM.. THEY WERE THE KINGS OF THE 80S.. MEMBERS OF THE BEST BAND OF THE 80S, DURAN DURAN.
Inseparables cómplices!!! Me llama la atención que casi siempre los comentarios que se escriben hacen alusión a la adicción de John Taylor y se hace mofa de ello... Pero reflexionando sobre su situación y la de otros, ellos como personas dedicadas al arte son altamente sensibles, por lo que son muy propensos a caer en adicciones... Pero gracias a esa sensibilidad nosotros hemos disfrutado de su música entre otros atributos... Y escuchamos sus canciones que tanto nos han deleitado... Entonces me pregunto cuánto potencial hay dentro de cada criatura que es o ha sido adicta. Miremos el ejemplo de John cómo se ha transformado hoy y sigue aportando al mundo con la música y motiva a otros que necesitan superar sus adicciones...
I can't believe Andy and John were high into drugs but I heard later on John went to rehab to surrender his drug habits and glad to hear Andy had the will power to surrender his drinking and drugs habit too.
WOW! They must have indulged before shooting this. John can't even read his lines. It's both funny and sad at the same time. Glad they've both kicked their habits. Still love them!
@@JOHNNYSGIRL1960 I think Andy vapes now..Saw him on some recent clip somewhere here on youtube and he was vaping... Not sure if he quit the booze though.
Oh wow! I still would have loved JT even if I had realised what was going on with him here if I had watched it at the time, but seeing this now, makes me feel sad for him, but happy now he is drug and drink free :)) I can't wait to read about this and other things that went on with him in his life through his autobiography next autumn :))).. still lovin u now JT and can't wait to see u in Dec at the M.E.N
andy was just as much of a cokehead as john. only andy never think he ever had problem and never went into rehab. while john chose to breaking the habit and clean himself up. good thing about john which i admire so much is that he didnt succumb to his addiction. infact he's still more successful eventhough he was coked up than most people sober.
perhaps you dont know that drugs can be so addictive just like psychotropic drugs, nicotine, and alcohol. and some people can be more addicted than others. even though they actually dont wanna take drugs but their body is craving for it. people only judging john for doing drugs despite that he's clean now without bother to find out the reason why he turned to drugs. we are all addicted to something as a coping mechanism. only we're not living in public display like John where everyone can see.
I'm not speculating too much to say that most people who get addicted have some trauma in childhood or in their past so probably this may be true of John and maybe he surpressed memories of something that happened to him. I'm not saying it did but that is what statistics show. He had an addiction to cocaine, ecstasy and alcohol most notable. But he would use drugs while drinking. And he only ever had a cigarette in his hand when he was drinking. Now his partying ways were when he had time on his hands not on stage. He finally realized how unhappy he was. But one night he went out with Amanda's brother to a bar and to a house for dope and he supposed to be home by 10pm but got home at 10am the next day. That's day he decided he needed to seek help and he did. He said that was the best day of his life! He's been clean and sober over 20 years now. So he definitely went to hell and back before he got help he needed.
I watched this back then. I have no idea how that comment from John went over my head! It's not like I was innocent any more by then. I DID know they were fucked up on something, though.
I remember hitting my head after falling down off the bed being so excited that they were guest Dj's for the timeframe the KTVU 2 San francisco 2 hour block telecast of mtv I was 7
@@KayleighNatasha 95 got sober. Left in 97. Stayed with Duran until late 1995 in which year he got in rehab. 4 solo albums from 1996-1999. And then he got married to Gela.
@@daviddeacon8544 My previous comment was for Ana Maria. Apparently She deleted her comment- she said she was there in the bathroom getting high with John and some of her friends
Andy is so cute here even though they should've fired their manager for letting them go on T.V in that state @ 4:14 JT really looks so stupid with that scarf but high or not he's still eye candy
WOWWWWW!!!! They were so messed up and look awful for it, too!!!! That's excess for you!!! It's funny for a moment but then unbelievably sad. Sooo glad they're both clean now. LOVE all 5 of these guys b/c they will always be Duran Duran that way! Even with their independent, separate groups and projects, when they come together, even if, just 4 now, it's still great music and great entertainment!!!! Always be my favorite band and now I want to marry John instead of Nick! lol LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them Always!!!!!
Unfortunately, that's true. Drug abuse just about killed John, he had to leave the band to get help for addiction in 1995. If you see pictures or video of him from that time frame you can see how rail-thin he was. Andy handled it somewhat better, but he had more self-control than John.
By the time they made Big Thing I saw them play Roseland for that small venue tour they did to promote the album.....JOhn looked skeletal. His face didn't even look the same. A big difference from when I seen them in 87. @@SarahB1863
@@daviddeacon8544 I think it’s because the expectations are different. That behaviour is expected from metal or rock and roll stars, they’re supposed to be “messy”. Pop stars are expected to be cleaner. It’s a different standard. I’m sure there’s a lot of factors that play into that..
And it’s bc they were the hottest band in the world at that time!!! I’d say 9/10 females at that time wanted John Taylor or any of the Duran members. John Taylor was dating Renee Simonsen.. look her up. She was absolutely as gorgeous as he was. I was 14 and man was I obsessed with him! 😍
Yeah but look at how pale he is and he's muttering through his segments. :( If I didn't know any better I'd say that someone who was close to him at the time was trying to him drugged up.
After seeing the video with girls legs John had to go to the bathroom, I can just guess what for, since he said he can't watch that stuff. He recently admitted he was a member of the mile high club. Kinky guy. 👍
