John Taylor on Duran Duran's New Music, INXS and Roxy Music | Mark Goodier | Greatest Hits Radio 

John is such a music anorak. You can tell he just loves music history as much as making music. His cultural and music knowledge is encyclopaedic.

I like John Taylor, He's enthusiastic, talented and genuine and in a great band, Duran Duran.

The greatest bass player of my generation. I could listen to JT talk for hours....he has some fantastic stories from his life in music. Hope he does some more of his live webcam chats at some point. Loved his bass tutorials too. A really great guy. Thanks GHR for this.

Love the new album. John is definitely a major league bass player. You can tell he was inspired by disco and funk. He can for sure make a gritty bassline. Duranie since 1983.❤

New ideas, very creative, musically & visually perfect. Beautifully engineered, quality at it's best, put all this altogether, this is Duran Duran. ❤❤❤

OMG, You don't hear A Song From Europe mentioned enough when people are talking about music. I just became an even bigger fan of John Taylor lol. A Song For Europe is one of my all time favorite songs.

I was in DC for the world premier of "Danse Macabre" and we were fortunate for this. John is my favorite! I love his love of music and his respect for talent.

Just as interesting as John Taylor/Duran Duran, is the story that John told at the end regarding Roxy Music. I love hearing about the bands that inspired my favorite bands.

My mother has had a crush in John Taylor ever since she was born. My mom even got me and her tickets to their concert, but we were on John's side of the stage❤

THE BEST BASS PLAYER in absoluty

🎉🎉🎉JT bass player he's epic brilliant awesome amazing guy just luv to hear him loads on this epic awesome amazing album danse macabre album it's fantastic good luck hope it's a huge massive 💪💪💪 hit album on planet earth 🌎🌍🌎

Love de new album , John is super wise n cool still

Great interview, I wish it was longer. John should you ever see this comment, I'm going to tell the story of the time I met you. You had a tour stop just north of Detroit Michigan with The Neuortic Outsiders. Met you after the show and you were so sweet and down to earth. You chatted with my friend and myself, signed our ticket stubs, and took pictures with us. Thank you, it's a memory I treasure. Kind regards and I wish you (and Duran Duran) continued success! Now, go play that f'n bass! 😊❤

He is a sweetie

John plays bass like lead....he's the lead bass player in the band. The guy is a legend! I like how his accent has softened to where he says some words like an American. ❤

He’s my favourite from Duran. I don’t know why but he reminds me of my model cousin Ivan. They both tall, similar hair, eyes & face, model looks. John always very attractive before and now too. By the way, John and Ivan are the same name & same meaning. Look it up and you will see, quite amazing ❤

John is so awesome! My favorite bassist of all time. Love the spooky vibe of Danse Macabre.

Class

Interesting interview.

Cool album

I love him soo much.

Great! Thank you❤

Seems like a nice guy.

🌠 Good Interview from Both..I'll buy the new album...I'll check out the Roxy music song..I dont know it..not a big Roxy fan..sorry

Great interview Mark. Would you be ok if we shared the INXS part on our youtube channel. Of course we send links back to your channel too.

This doesn't bode well .. last time DD did a covers album to "fill a gap" EMI, their record company since 1980, didn't release their follow up album, John left, they ended up playing casinos in the U.S with two original members and turned into almost heavy metal band.

can you say Reportage???

Its a Cover-Album (the latest)! Not bad, i like it, but i dont love it.

The "Ghost town" cover is a complete and utter misstep. Hate how "Lonely in your nightmare" turns into Rick James' "Superfreak". I'm amazed that not one of the band or anyone around them had the good sense not to realise what a bad idea it was!

I've been a Duranie since I was 12 and I'm now 52. I've adored JT for decades. My favourite Tigger! His passion for music and passion for other musicians, his being my number 1 bass player, adoring Gela and his family. ❤❤❤❤ However, at times his arrogance turns me off completely! I know I'm going to get slated for this and to be quite Frank, I don't care!! I've just watched a number of interviews in a row, and he can just be so off-putting. He spoils his gloriousness lol!! Only human I guess! It just frustrates the fcuk out of me. Come on, be honest! I dare you!!! Xx #abouttobepublicallyhangedduranie40yearJTadorerer. In my defence he has admitted he's arrogant. It just makes me sad xxxxxxxxxx his passion is catching! xxxxxxxxxx

They should've just done Lonely without Superfreak, works in a concert not in an album. Its an ok album, some songs on there just didn't do it for me though. Ghost Town should not have been touched really. It didn't work.

I can’t wait to see John Taylor replaced by A.I. , just like he and his wealthy band mates did in their latest music video instead of hiring real animators, Duran Duran is dead to me.
