El destino junto a 5 adolescente con muchas ganas de vivir y triunfar creativos excelentes y así nace Duran Duran con las personas correctas en el momento exacto dios les bendiga simón el más bello de todos

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

The thing is if you get too famous, there is a point when the stuff that comes along with it is not addictive anymore, instead, it starts to become threatening, and dangerous. They never reached that point. good for them.

You can easily tell the connection between the video of Wild Boys and the movie Highlander ... visually very appealing! Both directed by Russell Mulcahy!

[@darrenhenderson3]

watch "Wild Boys, The Story of Duran Duran" they tell everything correctly

[@maestroh2986]

Ironic how John was the biggest heart-throb but started out only being interested in the music craft

[@CelesteK]

John hid is addiction very well. I mean he's very candid about it now.

[@rubyweymouth6843]

The story wasn't about him...it was about the band🤨

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

@@rubyweymouth6843 He was part of the band so it's about him as much as anyone

[@styx53ocean]

If you go back and read the interviews from the old days, you will see how whitewashed the band were back then. They themselves claimed no one was "into drugs" when John and Andy were clearly heavy alcohol and cocaine users. There are several clips on KZbin where John and Andy were obviously drunk, high, or BOTH. I'm glad they quit (how many times DID John go into rehab??), but back then, it was commonplace for bands to "indulge" in the less wholesome of habits. I've been in rehab myself, for an opioid addiction after back surgery and I can tell you, it is NOT easy to get off that garbage. I am currently 19 years clean and sober. It's been a long, hard road, but I don't regret a single minute of the pure agony of withdrawal.

[@RadioLaPrincess]

I've been a fan of theirs since 83 or so and even then I knew John was a drug addict. He looked like one in many photos I saw and though I was 13 I knew.

Only an addict can recognize addicts

[@den21ell]

This Behind the Music Special is inaccurate..the writers of this is trying to make us believe JT went to rehab in 85/86. When in fact it wasn't untill mid 90's or just a few year before that he went to rehab. Sure he did try to quit drinking/ coke when his daughter was born but he was right back at soon after. This special also leaves so much out info that should be said about DD..perhaps someone will do a Special and get it right.

[@aprilgosa6315]

this was 98 there is an updated version but not sure about the facts about John being fixed

[@rubyweymouth6843]

I really miss DD from the early days👍I had their albums up to their Decade CD🤗I liked Power Station and Arcadia but DD was the best with Nick, John, Simon, Andy and Roger🤗

[@CosmicChannel]

Okay boys and girls over here, did I hear that quite correct; that the girl who was ignored by John at first, when he finally looked at her she peed over the floor, like an extremely happy dog? That sounds so otherworldly to me it isn't even imaginable!

[@aprilgosa6315]

Its not unbelievable to me at all LOL

[@CosmicChannel]

April Gosa Really? Happy Peeing then! :-) I am happy I kept my bladder together when I stood right in front of him otherwise I would have peed all over his expensive shoes, that would have been an embarrassment ...

[@aprilgosa6315]

Cormael Yeah but some girls have not me but some LOL

[@CosmicChannel]

What? Peeing over his expensive shoes??? Hahahahhaha

[@aprilgosa6315]

Cormael it never said she peed on him just the floor LOL

[@executive2006]

where is roger??????

[@aprilgosa6315]

He declined to be interviewed it till the remastered version this is the original 1998 version

[@aprilgosa6315]

he had not come back yet here

[@laminage]

Alot of folks don't want to do Interviews. Andrew Ridgeley didn't want to be interviewed when they did a profile on George Michael and Peter Cetera didn't want to be Interviewed when they did a profile on Chicago.

[@resa.walters]

Is that a coke John's drinking? My kind of man. 😃 Dang he's soooo stunning. I understand why she peed! If I, or my Nigel lovin' friends had gotten to meet him we might have peed our pants from the excitement. But meeting any of them we might have, but dang, he's def the hottest one! ❤️

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Andy's a hypocrite because he's never acknowledged his drug and alcohol problem. Ar least John admits to his problems and got help.

[@mj2208]

Andy did admit to his drug and alcohol problems though….
