Nick Rhodes is the mastermind behind Duran Duran he's awesome amazing guy!!! He's my favourite member from Duran Duran he's amazing 👍

[@helloitsme9081]

I love Nick. Always been a fan since 1980's. Great music. Great personalities. And Nick always well dressed and always together. The perfect gentleman.

[@arricammarques1955]

Certainly, the most genial member of DD.

[@tangram72]

It´s always pleasure to listen Nick´s sweet voice and his articulation. He speaks so elagantly . He is behind in almost all the hits of DD. Without him there will not be Duran sound

[@sandrafaith]

I could listen to Nick talk for hours; he's so engaging. (I'd like to think how fun it'd be to pick his brain at a party or whatnot, but to be honest, I would be super intimidated!) Great interview!

[@resa.walters]

True. I'd be really intimidated too. 🤭 I bet he's so into all sorts of things the average Betty doesn't know a thing about, LOL. 😮 But Im certain he's a complete gentleman and could totally lead and sustain a conversation without any trouble at all. Actually he seems really sweet with the fans.👍 And I feel like he's genuinely interested in his/DD's fans and as such he'd have basic just out of curiosity type questions ready to ask. His mind seems as vibrant as ever. But yeah, what if he asked about art or something really eclectic? 🤔 I'd already be speechless because he's who he is, I don't know anything about art, wine, or astronomy, LOL 🤭

[@mary-annleonowicz1038]

I hope you get to meet him. He’s super nice and I promise you won’t feel intimidated at least until he speaks to you. He puts everyone at ease. John too.

[@resa.walters]

@@mary-annleonowicz1038 OMG, John is so facinating, I would just be speechless if I ever got to meet him. I feel like Nick would be somehow more approachable.

[@Yui-zb8fm]

He is like a lecturer he paints with music and pictures.

[@quidagis33]

All the band members should have a podcast where they tell stories or talk about music or art.

[@psychomoonrider8700]

I've always liked Nick. He's very eloquent and thoughtful, not like a typical rock star. And very underrated for the soundscapes he creates on Duran Duran albums.

[@ericafletcher8416]

Eloquent and thoughtful...yes, spot on!

[@resa.walters]

He's in a word, a genius.

[@psychomoonrider8700]

@@resa.walters I wouldn't argue with that.

[@mistreme8341]

He really has aged well, like a fine wine.

[@mgparis]

Nick just oozes elegance in every way! :D

[@jules100music7]

Nick Rhodes is one of those people I would just love to sit down with at my local village pub and say ‘tell me your life story’. He is intelligent, engaging and passionate about what he does . . . oh and he comes across as a really nice guy!! I have been a Duran Duran fan since my school days in the 80s and continue to follow them. Keep up the great work guys, and thank you x

[@sweetiehogg7249]

Im so besotted with Nick this very talented gentleman not to mention his love for music..just fantastic.Duran Duran❤

[@MattyHalloween]

He’s a fucking genius!

[@amandaholliday9335]

I find Nick Rhodes extremely interesting.When Nicks talking about a subject he knows what he's talking about . Listening to this just goes to show how very talented Nick Rhodes and the rest of the band Sending Love and Peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤

[@mjrussell414]

That’s a man who loves what he does and does it well.

[@MG-tg5qg]

Nick is the band’s best salesman.

[@xprs1257]

I’m nearly 56 yea I grew up with their music.. All that aside.. I’m talking about seeing people from a different angle . I’ve got to say that Nick is a smart gentleman he is class in one package.. He is an ambassador of style.

[@MLCMD]

Nick Rhodes reminds me so much of the elegance and brilliance of David Bowie. With the loss of the great David Bowie, I am comforted to still have Nick Rhodes as a leader in the musical community.

[@perfumetherapie]

“Soundscapes” are the exact right word to use to describe what Nick creates. He’s such a musical pioneer! Btw, they had amazing performances here in Austin for the Austin City Limits Festival earlier this month (I was there for the first weekend). Duran Duran Forever!

[@saraenneking4652]

Nick always my fave❤️❤️

[@christinaescobedo9939]

Great interview! Love Nick, he’s such a talent & gentleman through & through. Congratulations on the new album & thank you for always giving us your absolute best! 🎹🎸🥁🎼🇬🇧

[@carlosalenduran4630]

Nick Rhodes is so beautiful ❤️

[@devesongs]

I just adore Nick from the past and currently.

[@truthbytwoheart]

Each Astronomia album released in sync with each solstice, every 13 weeks. That is SO Nick!

[@McSynth]

What a great, timeless ambassador for the band - and for music.

[@cemcb__]

Future Past is now my favourite Duran album, most accomplished album, next to " notorious"

[@amandaholliday9335]

Nicks is undoubtedly a very intelligent human being I've admired the whole band for over 40 years 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🌹

[@sarahannchism4882]

Nick has always been my favorite since day 1

[@resa.walters]

So, who else is eagerly awaiting Nick's autobiography??? I have listened to John's, and purchased John's hardback for those great photos, but am dying for Nick and Simon to put their own books out. I heard Andy has one out, I'll need to get that one. ****John**** ❤️ I love you! ❤️

[@arricammarques1955]

Hard Days Night = Future Past

[@robbelliii]

Andy’s is pretty good.

[@allexisberry7367]

I love him. ❤

[@JohnDoe-Alien]

All DD albums have such a unique sound and theme. Stylistically one of the best bands around and such a quality of musicianship. These guys are really grownups when it comes to music.

[@aprilbaker3876]

Nick is such an engaging guy. I would love to have dinner with him and talk about music, photography, and life. Plus he is so damn cute!

[@model-man7802]

Nick is the best keyboard player I've ever heard and at my age that's alot. ❤❤❤👍

[@robbelliii]

He isn’t much of a player actually. Find me a nice live piano piece that shows his playing ability. You won’t find it because the truth is he isn’t a great piano/ keyboard player. More of a programmer who is great at finding the right sounds to sit in the mix and help glue the band together. You could pick any number of players who are contemporaries and better players, such as Alan Wilder for example.

[@KathyJacksonSanDiegoRealEstate]

I like Nick. He’s always fun to watch while performing.

[@CarrieLuikens]

Good interview! Future Past is a perfect title for the new Duran Duran album that coincides with their 40th anniversary! Nice to hear about Nick's Astronomia side project. I study astrology, so I think It's very cool that Astronomia is synchronized with the equinoxes and solstices. :)

[@tcmusic6429]

Their 40th anniversary was in 2018. We are beyond 40 years at this point.

[@bethjanellerhoades7104]

I believe they are now referencing 40 years since the release of Planet Earth, their first single, in June 1981.

[@JonesLeFae]

Love this interview! Nick looks so good and I learned about some projects he’s been doing lately that I didn’t know about. Love you Nick!!!🥰💕🔥

[@Sydroo1969]

Duranie since 1983.

[@mjrussell414]

That must be when I discovered them too. Good times.

[@mary-annleonowicz1038]

What a fabulous interview. So happy to know Canada 🇨🇦 is on their tour agenda. I’ll be there. Nick is such a nice soul. Love you guys. Duran Duran, thank you for Future Past. It’s a brilliant album.

[@soccredude]

I love the pleasure groove by JT audio book and wild boy Andy’s story too. But my duran bros and sisters. I would love to get a detailed book by my fav Nick. Like he’s a writer anyways, he’s making lists. And keeps his older outfits. I’d love to read and hear his complete story of duran and fashion and his makup and his intentional looks through each version of the band. Like the making of arena. Was so awesome to watch him make his own jacket because he didn’t like the one he got for the wild boys video. So fascinating. Anyone else?

RANDY JUDAH TALK 🎼❤️

[@haebee]

and i thought i was the only person on earth who hated jeans. turns out i'm in good company!

[@mikegreenebass]

Can't wait to see them again. Last show i saw nick was out on a personal matter .

[@petergray2767]

The ultimate professional musician. Just love him. He speaks so well too. You just kind of know there is a kindness there as well as the keyboard playing and although he is straight which is totally fine with me, he's totally OK with me being gay. Anyone wants to know what it is like, it is heartbreaking

[@winjo7162]

You will look👀great in 👖 jeans - be creative you could make them stylish sequins man think sequins 🐈‍⬛keep those beautiful sounds going,you would 👀great in almost anything 🐈‍⬛

[@christophercurtis2893]

Thanks for taking the time, I know you've been busy. Lol. As if he would say no.

[@karynlouisa3771]

Is there another musician as intelligent and articulate as Nick? I don't think so.
