Duran Duran - Rio (From "Rio - Classic Album")

[@MatteoPrezioso]

That bass line ladies and gentlemen... That bass line.

[@jpistolas]

Yeah. If you notice his playing lept a couple levels after working with Bernard Edwards on the Power Station project. Been a monster ever since.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Nobody does it better than my dear John!

[@revkennsteverybodys2111]

I remember listening to this. I learned the line on an old Peavey Dyna bass. That was (mumble mumble) years ago...

[@user-ko6qs9vs6s]

"Rio"40年経ってもまったく色褪せない名曲揃いの名盤

[@0mniron]

John Taylor is great bass player. Amazing groove and feel. I love listening to him.

[@ddm62571]

I'm so glad Roger got back in the band. He's a great drummer and always seemed like kool kind of mellow guy.

[@southport97]

Of all the 80s bands, Duran Duran has aged the best -- both in sound and appearance.

[@johnmana]

One of the best groups to see live, without a doubt.

[@pablof59]

The " belle époque " of the Taylors. Awesome bass line by John , Andy's guitar and a neat Roger behind the drums !

[@vaadaenmacchi]

John Taylor has not lost a single step! He's he best

[@lisaknell6018]

True, but I think his bass is turned down way too low in this song. It's being drowned out by the keys and lead guitar :(

[@vaadaenmacchi]

We should have a classic album with just his bass!

[@resa.walters]

John's hot!

[@coolmatterstome]

Um Dois Tres Quatroo!! They are older now but still a blast to watch. It's easy to take for granted that some bands can't play their music raw, without some studio sweetening up but these guys don't got nothing to prove, they can look good in a video and sound just as good, and be entertaining with just their bare instruments and a stage. Amazing, they shoulda did this for their fans back in the 80's.

[@Jeorgana]

Yes they are hot 🔥

[@Jeorgana]

Keep it up guy's good 👍

[@andrescer]

I am 40 years old and as a boy this band was innocence and adult at the same time. I would be so lucky if my children can find such a musical icon.

[@fredfloyd34]

This tune is timeless.Just brilliant.

[@thrapsimi]

Amazing how they perform after almost three decades.Respect.

[@bobhastings8070]

That Saxaphone performance was tight . Great band always .

[@philwaterline]

F'n Bassline wow

[@TheStuport]

Exactly what I have always enjoyed about this song..Taylor was spot on!!

[@johneckerle9480]

You right 👍

[@stelamenezes7073]

Duran Duran... Rio Amazing and Wonderful !

[@NEUPARADOX]

やはり肝はROGER　TAILORのDRUMですね。タイトで疾走感が半端なく上手い！！

[@kellyknight68]

40 effing years and you still look that good and sound so good! How, damn?

[@marcojimenez2677]

bass, basss, bassss !

[@victorli2127]

When I started listening to Duran Duran, I mainly listened to the vocals and guitar. Then I started paying attention to John Taylor's bass playing and gained a new appreciation for them. This, obviously, is his magnum opus.

[@manudry36]

Me encanta esta version. Impecables como siempre. Simon....canta divino como siempre....genios!!!! Ah, que bueno que volvio Roger a la banda!!!

[@almaclaire]

Falto Andy...

[@JorgePancolart]

Awesome bass guitar!

[@Nord72]

What an amazing sax solo! Masterpiece.

[@JoaoRBastos]

UM, DOIS, TRÊS, QUATRO! Simon is AWESOME!

[@victortkz]

my favorite band and my favorite hit ... the world would SUCK BIG time without them!!!! and of course John Taylor's bass which is the heart and soul !!

[@heksje69]

Hope you all realize this is LIVE!! They may be older than most bands but tell me for real...which band now days can play this GOOD????!!! Can't imagine anyone.......Still love you guys!!

[@De6Andre6]

garage sounds effect..... Excelent performance!! best fricking pop album ever... Agree Amazing version !!!

[@GermanRivera-pe2tc]

Que tremendo pedazo de cancion...Inmortales Duran Duran

[@MsSwwood]

D2 are like fine wine. They only get better with age. This is amazing. I saw them live in 2005, and it was the best live show I have EVER seen. Rio was the highlight! Sigh!

[@victorcintra5506]

John Taylor you are the soul of Duran Duran ! Wowwwww

[@cinziapucci973]

Halloween SIMON LEBON IS BIUTIFUL

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

Simon has said that in the past too and I agree wholeheartedly. I also think they need to be in the RRHOF!

[@mdechgan]

Never realized the quality of the bass line until now.

[@Optimus19]

great to see roger. he was my fav during the 80s.

[@m.smithhugo5123]

bass, basss, bassss ! Andy Hamilton sax solo is awesome.

[@andyg4082]

It's not Andy Hamilton on this.

[@michaelflynn1136]

What a great version after all these years. And that F---ING bass!! Great musicians!

[@jonathangould2086]

Favourite ever track rio great played live todays bands watch and learn no style or talent thats why everybody still likes the bands of the 80s keep it live 🥂🙂

[@andhikaheru]

Everytime you listen to this song or watch the video....just pay attention to one man...JOHN TAYLOR !!!

[@kray97]

Andy Hamilton sax solo is awesome.

[@TheAstrozeBand]

One of the BEST bands ever, i wouldnt be the same without them!

[@MrNathan791]

man these guys still sound good,i remember when this came out in the '80 i went bought this cassette and i literally wore this song out, this song still sound cool after some 27 years. and it's amazing how these guys still look and sound great. peace out.

[@emeraldstream]

really one of the best songs ever written. the synth action transforms it

[@Menyhard1]

They sound great after all these years wow

[@xristoskabbadias3982]

40 years after.still haven't find that girl RIO... but keep on searching..thx guysfor that journey

[@xinxuanliu4126]

Excelent performance!! best fricking pop album ever... Agree

[@JohnGLewis1964]

Cool. It is great to see Simon, John Taylor, and all the band together again. They were so instrumental in introducing New Romanticism to Rock, in the early 1980's, imo.

[@Calicat70]

yeah cept for the crappy fill in guitarist

[@Calicat70]

I don't intend to sound like a creep, but really...he's not good at all. I love the band, they are amazing and pioneers in modern rock/pop rock. they were a rock band with a synth, not a synth band that played rock, which is part of the cause of their skyrocketing success. Look at how they did wtih Andy...now compare that with Dom Brown....wet noodle! Their other fill was great too, he was far better in Zappa and Missing Persons than in Duran Duran. Andy brought a specific sound that made them who they are.

[@JohnGLewis1964]

***** I am not so 'up' on the band as you are, but am as much a fan. Yes, they were huge, and very important, especially circa 1981 - 1983, when MTV commenced, & they put out the album 'Rio', with all their cool videos. They were pathbreakers, let's admit. But who do you think is accountable for their work, the quality? Andy _____ ? {What is his last name?} And what about John Taylor? Did not he compose material? And Taylor with Simon LeBon contributed greatly to the *image* of Duran Duran.

[@Calicat70]

John G. Lewis i just read alot John. I agree, 81-83/84 was a prime time for them. Disco was coming to an end, the clubs needed something new...something to keep the scene moving. they were pioneers in their day. right with the music videos, that were like short films, the styles they created and trends they set. 3 Taylor's in the band Andy, John, Roger. No relation. Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes. John and Nick started the band, Simon was the last member to join. They all worked and lived at the Rum Runner club and had their start there as the house band. Each were responsible for creating their own parts in the music writing process, as with any band. Andy wrote the guitar work and had creative influence on the rest of the band. He was hired in after replying to an add for a 'live wire' guitar player. He was a rocker and loved metal and hard rock. A lot of his great guitar work is buried under Nick's keyboard tracks. John and Roger would start writing a lot of the songs together, Andy would add guitar tracks, that were usually a bit heavier than what the club scene wanted, but it added to that "sound" they had. Nick and Simon polish up the process with melodies and synth tracks. So what I'm trying to say is this, Dom Brown is not very good in Duran Duran. In this version of Rio, his timing is awful, he's not playing the right chords, and isn't using the right effects. He's a totally different style of guitarist and he's very watered down....it's just.....flat and boring sounding. If you change it back to Andy and his sound...it just completes the band. Takes all 5 to make that "sound" they are known for.

[@JohnGLewis1964]

***** With all respect ... I will have to disagree with you... I believe this is a very stylish and well done performance of "Rio", finished with real 'Duranni' flavor...! I liked the lead singing of Simon here, the synth work, Taylor's bass guitar was fine, drums, sax, excellent stage presence by all hands, and additionally, good camera work. All this in keeping of what Duran Duran was, imo. (...) In regards to your point re guitar work: yes, I agree you do have an issue. However, I thought what was done, though different, yes, was in keeping with the spirit of D.D. ... Thank you for all your research !! Btw.. Yes 1981 - spring 1984 was their high point... yet I was a college student at the time, and so familiar with the rise of the band. In the fall of 1982 - spring 1983, I thought that their videos were fairly easily the best on MTV... And you're right, too, (imo) about the transitioning from Disco to a new dance sound, which perhaps Rock was searching for. D.D.'s sound was a combination of New Romanticism in Rock, as it is termed, and which they really in part founded, along with this dance element you speak of. --------------------------------------------------------------- Right, circa 1980 Disco was over... but very quickly MTV would take its place as Rock's new arena: an area of development. ... As you are clearly a fan, I am a little disappointed that you do not like this version of Rio...!? Can you not admit that it was at least spirited ? Actually, I like it so much, I am thinking I will by the album. -- J. G. Lewis

[@duffernandes]

Lindo demais! *-* Cresci ouvindo isso, e minha paixão pelo rock n' roll tem grande influencia deles! THANK YOU ! Love love love! Bela homenagem ao RIO!
