Quarantined during Corona virus, thinking of watching this video over and over again on MTV in the early ‘80s and taking for granted how great life was then. WTF happened to the world? :(

[@Torgo1969]

I hear you. I saw the Grateful Dead play Buffalo on a beautiful July day in 1990. Then 10 days later keyboardist Brent Mydland died of an overdose, then a week later Iraq invaded Kuwait. To me, the world went to hell after I saw that concert.

Normies + MTV = bad pop songs

So true...

Torgo1969 i was born in May 1990. I guess two months of my life was decent lol .. joking aside the worlds always been an awful place, we just hear about it 24/7 now.

[@TechnoArtful-tk2yh]

These guys being so good at staying in the right groove, for the right instrument in the right song - geniuses

[@fogdog60]

The opening 33 seconds are arguably the most exciting 33 seconds of any 80’s song

[@davedzone]

Craziest bass line ever.

[@Jacobtwo]

Unlike you

[@davidcross5799]

Yeah. 2:40 min

[@ferox965]

John Taylor's bass lines...one of the last times a pop band actually had serious chops.

[@alancooper3106]

That's the 80s right there!

[@adamdorgant9454]

Yes indeed!!!!!

[@joehodges8459]

Such a cool group from the 80's. Duran Duran was one of my favorite groups in that era. I play bass, and John Taylor laid down some awesome bass lines on so many of their hits. Rio is one of them.

[@jonathanhensley9384]

This is one of my favorite videos. Duran Dyran was a breath of fresh air in 1983. Great videos.

Oh you bet. I listened to this in high school back in 1984. Still sounds fantastic after all these years.

One thing that made the 80s great were that we were all stoned and we shared mutual respect for each other and of course the main thing the music.and did I mention we were stoned.class of 1985 great year indeed.

These guys weren't just pretty boys. They could play the hell out of their instruments.

[@mirellevanbavel2409]

I am glad to hear a guy say this !!!

[@ericzerkle5214]

In the 80s we called them preps.

[@zdengvox]

Yeah, that bass is pretty insane

[@clementerodriguez7271]

John Taylor was only just 22 y/o at the time and he was already a massively gifted bass player.

[@libby5623]

@@ericzerkle5214 We also called them New Romantics.

MTV was my home as kid and Duran Duran was the wallpaper. They were colorful, everywhere and made that home an appealing place to always be. 🖤 🥁 🎸 🎤 🎹 🎶 🎵

[@wolverine4ever38]

OMG I Would watch MTV all day and love it. I'd see Rio maybe 10 times a day along with lot's of Michael Jackson, the police and various other artists. MTV used to be awesome with just videos and the host's. I want to go back to the early 80's.

[@davidschlessinger9945]

a huge part of early MTV

[@word8821]

hi

[@AClark15]

Loved MTV back in the day. Duran Duran was my favorite band throughout high school and still today.

[@torrentbits]

I just turned 15, Rio plays every night as I go to bed in my bedroom, the CD slides in my brand new Kenwood CD player, Luxman amplifier, and some awesome 80's headsets. Time flies, but this masterpiece lasts a lifetime.

[@classicjetsims]

One of the top 5 best music videos of the 80s, imo.

[@Bethelbandit]

The bass line is amazing.

[@adamdorgant9454]

True!!!!!

[@traciospartaco_uSer768]

In the early 80s bands like this and several others stood out with their sounds. John Taylor appeared with a notorious bass touch, and most of Duran-Duran's songs would be marked by that very good bass level! Besides the whole band, excellent.

[@toedjoetiga]

That Bass Line Amazing !!

[@humansvd3269]

The end of the song is really awesome. It ends on such a high note of excitement and happiness. Like Life is fucking awesome and worth living.

[@jamesbeason9256]

After I got out of the army I fronted a bar band in the 80s in Las Vegas. The 'sexual revolition' from the 70s was finally maturing. 83-86 maybe..87 until AIDS scared he11 out of everyone was a friggin blast.

[@coreymichaelsmovies6110]

Human SVD it’s the best part of the song and that says a lot

[@James-y6u7x]

Their BEST song by far... Bass is sick and sad solo... What the heck, the whole song is cool !!!

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Duran Duran has always been my favorite band... Still AMAZING to me to this day. ❤️

[@lindabrown8421]

I was a British tourist traveling across the U.S. in 1982. I heard this song on local radio as we were traveling across the Rio Grande. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.

[@omegajrz1269]

You were experiencing what was called the Second British Invasion in the United States
