John, you have no idea how much I appreciate these mini-tutorials. The first song I ever learned on bass was "Save a Prayer", all the way back in 1985. So many amazing Duran Duran songs and phenomenal bass lines - "Last Chance on the Stairway" and "Rio" were two of my favorites. I learned everything off the Power Station album as well. That said, Notorious is still my overall favorite DD album - I learned every song off it and would play the album start to finish on bass regularly. Your playing and composition were, and are, inspiring to me 35 years later - any time I feel myself needing 'centered' on bass, I put on early Duran Duran and get back to my roots. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos!
@Ocelot20004 жыл бұрын
I thought having Tony Thompson on drums is what gave The Power Station such an incredible drive and always loved that bass line. I have to say going to the Strange Behavior Duran Duran's concert in 87 at Wembley and seeing Steve Ferrone on drums had that same feel too! He was incredible as well. The intro to Vertigo where he plays the snare on the off beat... Such a small change but had a huge effect. Great drummers can really make or break a song specially combined with great bass lines. You have it with Roger and you had it with Tony and Steve. Cant; wait till you get to my personal favorite album of all time. Notorious!
@evanjazzista4 жыл бұрын
I hear you and I couldn't agree more! Ferrone's "out" drumming on Vertigo's intro is just fabulous, you can't go wrong with a guy like that holding the sticks! I've *always* wondered if it was rehearsed or if he just _felt_ doing that on the fly (very very risky). Simon gets just in time with the vocals, which mustn't have been very natural or easy in a pop context. Amazing. And kudos to Warren too, he was wild on that guitar! And space here to mention Curtis King on backing vocals and Stan Harrison on saxophone (among other skilled side-men on that tour), that was some serious line-up!
@Ocelot20004 жыл бұрын
@@evanjazzista I agree. To this day and till the end I will always say the worst thing Duran did was get rid of Warren. Biggest mistake ever. Andy came back and then left again, they should have brought him right back if he was amenable to it. By far the best guitarist they had in the group, and yes, that line up with Curtis King who blossoms on back vocals and Stan on Sax was fantastic. The best line up and the best tour I saw, and I'n not just talking Duran Duran.

What I realize through this bass session by John is that The Power Station album needs to be remixed so that John's bass playing is more front and center. The problem with the released mix is that on songs like Some Like It Hot the combination of the heavily effected drum sound and the horns bury everything else in the mix, namely the bass. Andy's guitar pierces through the mix quite nicely. It's John's stellar bass playing that needs a stronger spotlight. It would be really cool to get the entire Power Station album remixed from top to bottom including taking the effects off the drums so that they don't overpower so much. Get those drums off steroids and punch up the bass! Also, I wish John had spoken briefly about why he wasn't involved in the 2nd Power Station album LIVING IN FEAR in 1996 which brought back Robert Palmer both in the studio and onstage. With the passing of Bernard Edwards, Drummer Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer I'm sure John regrets not dropping everything else to be involved. While Bernard replaced John on bass for the sessions, it's really sad that John wasn't a part of it all.

All these years I never noticed the salsa flair in Tony’s drumming for this song. I so loved The Power Station. Every song on the debut album was beautiful to hear and layered. Had hoped to hear more great things from the group. Thank you so much for sharing a little history into the song. RIP to the legends. 😌💙🖤🙏🏾✨

Just heard John Taylor got COVID-19 back in March. Glad he recovered.

Saw Robert Palmer live in Leeds in 83. Extraordinarily talented musician. He absolutely felt beats and his voice really was an instrument.

Saw the Serious Moonlight tour twice: Wembley Arena and the Milton Keynes Bowl. The Arena gig amused me because the "fashionably late" crowd who are always too posh to see the support band turned up to find that Bowie _was_ the support act and they'd missed his first set! Twats!
