He was drop-dead gorgeous in the 1980s and still looks great,can you believe he`s 63 now???

[@AllisonHagendorf]

He looks amazing as always!

When I went to rehab for alcohol in 2015, I lived 28 days on site - it saved my life - and I had John Taylor's memoir to help me endure. The band - they're all fantastic - John's growth is just been incredible. I'm still sober today - John's led by example. I think he's been learning piano as well as his painting - his bass tutorial vids from during lockdown are terrific. So was his interviews with Susanna Hoffs - and I think Billy Idol, too? God Bless you, Nigel John Taylor! Trust the Process!

[@studioshitaketakashita7093]

and I'm glad too John got thru Covid-19 infection - stay strong!

Good work. It’s a great book for sure.

Wow. Such a great interview. John is not only an awesome bass player and musician. He has also become a really wise and grounded person. I have been a Duran fan for 40 years and I have seen several of his interviews and his growth in interviews has been amazing to behold.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Thank you so much for being part of the show and sharing!

[@stephenrafter1980]

When I was a kid in school in the 1980s in Ireland, all people talked about was John Taylor. I had to go find out who John Taylor was. Then I saw him on my older sisters bedroom walls in posters. He was amazing looking. Nobody ever outdone his looks. Very beautiful. Good memories from those days. It was lovely without social media and go to the neighbors or phone box to call your friends.

He truly is!

[@amandakeogh9711]

[@moxie96]

I am so glad that I had once got entangled in conversation with him on one of those very nights of an Q&A with Autograph session. He cut away from speaking to the host twice to speak up to me from his seat on the stage before I got in the autograph line. He asked me directly (while I was a bit dazed, still amazed I’m there at the event) “Are we still doing it right?” Realized he was talking to me, snapping out of it “What? ME?!” (He laughs) “Well yeah of course you are, it’s still fantastic!!” The other question was at first to everyone if they remember the movie Still Crazy, and direct to me again “Do you? It’s a good one”

I'm in Love with Duran Duran since 1981, (Planet Earth) and they are part of my life. The last album Future Past it's a masterpiece, I saw them last year here in Portugal in a show with 80.000 people crazy with their live performance, John it's a great musician and a guy with great taste. Thank you for this inspiring and amazing interview, I hope you can invite Nick Rhodes too.

sweet interview!! As a longtime lover of all things musical, rock n roll whatever, who only got as far as working at MTV for a few years, I appreciate your enthusiasm and honesty with your guests in your interactions. 👍 This one especially due to Duran (and John in particular) being my absolute favorite band and band member of all time. 👏👏❤️❤️

[@AllisonHagendorf]

I can’t tell you how much this means to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this ❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@lifeschool]

25:30 - 50 shows!, and there are only 52 weekends in a year. A new album, constant playing and touring, these guys play themselves down. When he goes MMmmm. It reminds me of when his bass goes Wooommm!

It doesnt matter so much. Its the content of the interview that matters. Both Allison and John killed this interview. So much information for fans and newbies alike.

@@bukitkatilmp If you're a visual person, it may not matter. I am a verbal person and it does matter. I pay attention to words and their meaning and when those words are constantly peppered with "You know" it gets very distracting. Effective speaking can inspire and motivate people. That's why rhetoric was taught for centuries.
