One of the best 80s Killer Basslines ;)

[@johnnyskinner9944]

Forget 80’s And more of all time

[@kurysm7869]

OMG!! John Taylor's bassline! He's a King of Syncopation. And the ghost notes are just nailed it. It gives dynamics to the whole song. Still love this song in 2024

[@tberreth33]

Duran Duran’s bassist is simply amazing and so underrated - thanks for sharing!!!!

[@jomc6734]

Duran Duran are a fantastic band and they are still incredible in concert. This entire album is killer. When you were discussing being distracted from the music, I thought that it could be possible. Look at how beautiful those men are.

[@alexioverdo5225]

They are extremely talented musicians,fantastic live band and were a striking 'bunch of posers' plus even more, that many male membered bands couldn't be if compared to them not to mention that the special photogenic aura of Simon,John and Nick could easily overshadow lots of Hollywood's male superstars.

[@JOHNNYSGIRL1960]

I saw this video for the first time when I was 12 years old in 1983. It blew me away. And that's when I fell in love with John Taylor and his bass even though the video doesn't have him playing bass. I at that age didn't know what a bass was. I just knew it looked like a guitar. I appreciate his playing many years later even more after finally getting to see them live for the first time in 2022...

[@amandayoung7467]

Talk about bass, thats the one every one wishes they could play. John Taylor, remember that.😊😊

[@alexioverdo5225]

Still Cool,fabulous ,exotic and captivating.A video clip that's more than a retro piece of art.

[@ronfarney6477]

I love Duran Duran since they came out and I was a teenager, they are iconic. Thanks Matt. Glad you both enjoyed it.

Love love love love you guys and love your DD reaction’s Duran are the best and most diverse band of all time Can’t wait to get you into many other Duran sounds!! But…….Rio is my favourite song of all time And will always be the biggest Duran fan forever and always

[@Pilutta100]

Very entertaining, ty. They were my fav band in the 80's. They did groundbreaking things with music video at that time. Hugs from Sweden

[@Jeroen_K]

Simon le Bon probably wasn't holding on for dear life on the yacht. He sailed the Whitbread round the world race (now the Volvo ocean race) in '85. No lead singer would do that at the height of his popularity, but he did.

[@wolf762x51]

The ship in the video was a racing sailing ship called The Drum. Simon bought that ship and raced it.

[@billw715]

@@wolf762x51The Drum was owned by Simon Le Bon along with brothers Paul & Michael Berrow (former band managers of Duran Duran).

I'm 52 I love all this era Duran Duran depeshe mode spaundu all the new wave stuff.👌

[@alexioverdo5225]

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:12 I have a copy of the comic book John is looking at (Fightin’ Army). Okay - my copy as a kid, and 3-4 additional copies I’ve hunted down at comicons 😊

[@jerusalemiseternal]

80's, best mix of creativity, skill and production...90's got lazy, 000's got narcissistic, and now music is almost off a cliff. Go Taylor! I'm listening on a pair of Adams and this really stands up.

[@samolevski1119]

Nobody seems to mention that the scene at 3.48 where a lady walks out of the water is almost certainly a reference to Ursula Andress in Dr. No, a James Bond film - searches say it is one of the most iconic film scenes, when you consider the year it was released.

[@stevehamilton8824]

Simon was an avid sailor and so you see that in this video. His raced boats and his boat capsized during a race and he and his crew almost died. Great band, great music, great videos.

[@KC-gy5xw]

Oooh, I was a DURANIE!! Yes, love it, still have their albums on vinyl. Hated Spandau, Love Duran Duran!!!. Great stuff, takes me back...

[@annesmith2259]

This is actually an amazing album … not a dud on it

[@AndrewSkinburn]

One of the best pop albums of all time.

[@lebby4ever]

The best video in 40 years ❤

[@blurpledragon2779]

This is Simon's actual yacht. Now he raced this one year in the 80's and it capsized and Simon almost drown .

[@charlesh946]

80s were all about the Beach!! 💥💥💥💥💥

[@vegasdutch]

You guys rock

[@bobbiny32]

The minute I saw this video it was over. They have been my lifelong obsession since. When i finally saw them live 25 years later, I called my Grandmother so she could hear Rio live. I thought she should considering she had to deal with a 7 year old me when it began. I have a twin sister too. It was madness!

[@creepingmalaise5006]

Bass is insane!

[@ferox965]

One of the last great pop bands. Great chops, songs, etc. As a bassist myself, John Taylor's chops on this song are phenomenal.

[@gary2kr1]

So glad you both caught on your first line that bass. It's sick from start to finish and never lets up. Rest of the song's not so bad either haha

[@TheCornishCockney]

God, the 80s were fun.

Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo. I can't help but imagine the antics of a cringey John Wayne in that music video. My brain, sheesh.

Rio was like 1984

[@eamonconnelly8029]

The album Rio was released in May 1982 with the Rio single being released in Australia in August '82, in the U.K. in November '82 and in the USA in March 1983.

I was responding to them saying it was 1994. More like no it was in the early 80’s.

Yeah,but while on those yaghts, in those nice suits, the women in the videos usually made fools of all of those guys.
