[@jamieaiken919]

This is just absolutely precious... Nick is the cutest thing

[@kimcastelo5153]

Oh yes, I agree with you, he's very cute ;-)

[@justimagine2403]

Yup

[@lorireece1970]

I can only imagine how high the ratings were for MTV when THIS was airing!

[@MrFranziecan]

I remember watching this the first time it aired. Everyone i knew was watching!

[@ilovenickrhodes1646]

Nick is just too beautiful.

[@babyface5035]

I used to love Simon then Nick really grew on me . He's so gorgeous.

[@lisavoyage9157]

Nick with his hair red, yes. The platinum don't do him any favors.

[@RRForever833]

Lisa...p/mim ele é bonito c/qualquer cor e tipo de cabelo.👍Mas...será q eu o 💖:Careca???🤔

[@lorireece1970]

I cry for today's kids! They have no clue what great music sounds like.

[@saeshasanders1889]

Im fifteen and I love classic music for the 80's and 90's

[@Declaringthendfromthebeginning]

+10vevideos actually you are incorrect with your assumption. in 1985 I was 14 years old. I was raised on my parents music , I liked it then and still love it now. In the eighties though still a young teenager parents liked all this 80's music. later when I was 21 in 1992. Nirvana changed rock radio. And our parents liked it too. we were the only generation that shared each others music. It was really great. have a nice day.

[@tely0460]

I am 14 and have been brought up with 80s music , especially Duran Duran.

[@porczgabi2263]

Lori Reece: Agreed totally. Todays music is absolutely without substance, has lack of talent and emotion and please don't even get me started on 'rap.' Take me back to the 80s and its music anytime. Gotta build myself that time machine.

[@lovechronograph]

yeah not like it's uploaded on youtube for all of us "today's kids" to see.

[@trevgreg2]

Love how Andy Warhol just decides to pop up in the middle, haha.

[@ErikaTBus]

I love how he doesn't say a word. he's just this presence.

[@frantomo]

Did someone notice that Nick and David Sylvian from Japan looked just like twins in early 80's with similiar faces and same blond hairdos;))

[@Aramanth]

Yep!! Noticed that too...

[@ivanovapeguero1460]

True

[@clairedominguez]

it’s often said that nick copied david sylvian’s look

[@midnightwitch4603]

absolutely 🖤

[@mrbungle3310]

@@clairedominguez everyone had that look,it didnt help that they actually look the same hahahah

[@valencalahorra1780]

Nick!!! Pffff BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I LOVE THIS MAN ❤❤❤❤

[@armychic15]

Omg, talk about a trip back in time; I can't stop smiling. I love watching these early clips; takes me back to the day I first discovered who Duran Duran was. That giddy, 10 year-old girl is now in her mid 40s and just as giddy, lol. Thank you so much for posting:)

[@gloriamendoza6067]

Omg! Nick is irresistible!!

[@CleoPenelope111]

Simon is just too beautiful for words!! 😍😘❤️

[@judyb1539]

Who among us fast forwarded to see John???🙋❤

[@RRForever833]

Eu não...apesar do John ser mto bonito:Eu 💖 d+ o Nick e o Simon é mto divertido...👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kagerouquizahulleza7477]

I love You Mr Nick Rhodes..

[@kimcastelo5153]

Aww! Nick you make me fainting!

[@michaelscoots]

I recorded this back in the day and watched it a bunch of times. Seeing it again after almost 4 decades I still remembered most of the things they said - crazy! They were the biggest band on MTV at this time. Awesome that they're still creating great music today.

[@lunadaisy223]

Oh my gosh same ... I can barely remember what I did last week, but I remembered most of this word for word! I must have watched it a hundred times. =)

[@csfan65]

Awesome seeing this again after all these years! Have always been a huge DD fan, and the fact that they showed Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, and Japan videos during the hour made me love them even more. Andy W. was his usual quiet self, but what a talented artist. The DD guys had excellent taste in music, art, clothes, etc. How could you not like these guys back in the 80s?

[@mistreme8341]

Nick, my endless love.

[@chrissimpson9846]

How lovely! OMG Simon's lips.

[@Mrssanaiftikhar]

*sigh* m still in love wd Simon*

[@KMWeir]

I remember when MTV really was music television. The 80’s were great on MTV.

[@atheistleopard2484]

lol @ Simon doing the slanted eye thing when saying "VISIONS OF CHINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" @ 5:45

[@delinellychan]

Nowadays Simon would be banned

[@Stormeyworld]

lol...back in the day when these shows weren't politically correct. Miss those times.

[@theUltimateBadass146]

LUCIOUS LIPS!!! Mhhhhm Nick & Simon are bea-ut-iful

[@80snewwavekid]

I remember taping this, and all my fellow Durrannies on the island forgetting to, so I was a hot commodity ... only paralleled by Billy Idol & his Guest VJ and video selection

[@nickskeyboards]

Nick Rhooodes....still the most charming and beautiful man after 30 years. Argh! LOL!

[@cooper7031]

Duran are like brothers themselves cuz they're close knit! 1983 was their peak year! Also their voices sound sexy!

[@tube_trance]

The feelings this generates!! Thank you sooooo much for posting this classic DD gem!

[@jgarofalo8813]

OMG I had this taped on VHS and watched it hundreds of times!

[@andreapatane4204]

Simon and Nick were a great team when they hosted MTV Guest VJs back then. 👏🏻

[@charlabowers1483]

OMG...they were totally adorable.

[@paulgrant1988]

these guys were the REAL DEAL!!.. Kings of the 80s!. no one could touch them!!.

[@44kickinit]

Oh, the nostalgia!

[@larockeramenor]

I miss the 80s so much! Thanks for uploading this gem.

[@danielmarquis5258]

Kitty, thank you for uploading this video of my favorite Band. Duran Duran is the reason I am learning bass guitar right now, THEY MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON ME MUSICALLY. Nick's hair in this video was COOL, VERY NEW WAVISH.

[@dbrouwer2007]

4:26 Simon already knew what the new single in 2021 was going to be like

[@Aramanth]

Ah VHS days... I remember this well!

[@alinepowercat]

The best time of MTV and music 🎼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #duranduran #rio #82

[@VeganRebelLove]

I stayed home from school so that I could watch this. Even though I recall it being replayed at least 3 times throughout the day..

[@judyb1539]

Believe it or not I saw it too because I was home SICK(not faking in the least!!)😂

[@VeganRebelLove]

@@judyb1539 LMFAO! No....me either! Totally NOT faking! 🤣

[@alessialeoni808]

Omfg nick 🥺🥰😍😍😍😍😍

[@sfuterfas]

This is where I discovered Duran Duran when I was 12. So many good memories of DD on MTV. Their music videos were the best Nothing can compare to those times back then.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love this it takes me back to those early days of MTV and Duran Duran! I was a teenager and it was so exciting every time they made an appearance or released a new video! I'm a Duranie for life!!

[@IsabelDawnKelly]

they're so funny, i love it! i wish i lived in the 80's sooo badly!

[@cinziapucci973]

Biutiful Simon Lebon

[@texasgirl3706]

OMG I never got to see this other than photos! We didnt get MTV in my hometown until much later! So freaking cool!!!

[@LuhIsCrazy]

5:45 CHINAAA!!!

[@noshrinkingviolette]

I remember this!! I was glued to my TV.

[@lemanperez7535]

This is the 1st time i saw this. These two can host a show..

[@michellejames1462]

They are so young it’s so long since I’ve seen them like this Excellent 💋💋

[@priscillaroger8593]

Simon Le Bon... Super CUTE!!!!!

[@laurasavidge6637]

Oh man I remember when this aired originally... they turned me onto some great music I wouldn’t have gotten to hear living where I did back in the day! Love these guys ❤️

[@Mina-ok5qm]

Amazing. Just to think of the time that has flown by. They talked about Beat It and Save A Prayer as new videos. Mentioning MJ's work with McCartney and Eddie Van Halen.

[@dublingirl6945]

Adore John that smile 😍😍

[@SarahB1863]

There's a clip out there somewhere of John and Andy guest-VJ'ing on MTV one time. They're both cute but also, unfortunately, completely blitzed on something (booze or cocaine), so it's a little uncomfortable to watch.

[@josephinesantos2295]

I love them both. You're cute! Love your accent. Thank you.

[@totalrobot]

I recorded these segments on VHS at 8 years old. I was a huge DD fan as a kid!

[@marcprocida5479]

It turns out Duran Duran had the honor of world premiering their own video huh? I wasn’t even into them yet but I have to say they are awesome! They were certainly a staple for MTV. I miss those days!

[@gloriahopkins359]

mmaaaannnnn i miss 80s MTV...

The end When someone claps alone 😂😂

[@domenikacstr3254]

Nací en 1999, pero puedo comentar que mtv es lo máximo ...

[@JC-yz1sf]

This is incredible!! So much going on in this that would be telling their future! ❤️

[@TalonInTx]

I wonder what happened to the pictures Andy Warhol took of them?

[@janetskelton4196]

Good to see that again!

[@blacktarrio]

Can't blame Warhol for taking that many pictures, i would have done the same. :P

[@saraflorencio8585]

Nick 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@allexisberry7367]

My big sis and her friends, and me tagging along of course…live. Wow . Thank you for posting this.

[@Sydroo1969]

The good old days. I still love Duran Duran. Duranie since 1983.

"A british band called the Eurythmics.. it was... pretty enjoyable"

Wish I was my age 40 yrs ago..

[@shannonhondo260]

What a time to be alive!!

[@mariflame1821]

Aww, I remember watching this and recording it on VHS. Have a bunch of VHS full of Duran Duran clips somewhere. Big Duranie back then! :) Still love them!

[@duran2inxs]

Oh I love this one! I still have my dodgy old video somewhere

[@simonandersen1974]

😂 AWESOME! FUN and GREAT❤️🤗Times!!! 😎🤙🏻🔉🎵🎶🎵❤️

[@ajs41]

Im amazed that MTV were showing Visions Of China by Japan because the band werent very big in the USA.

[@justimagine2403]

Everyone was so beautiful then.

[@MsGoon40]

I had this recorded on a cassette back in the day.

[@massimocasella4201]

Incredible New Wave Music on this episode.

[@BlitzOfTheReich]

5:49 lmao if he did that today people would trip

[@makeshiftvirus6494]

Blitz Of The Reich bro I was just thinking that

[@judyb1539]

How did I miss that??? You are so right he would be drummed out of ASCAP and God knows what other musician oriented thing!!!

[@salvadormarley]

Yeah, he better be worried. Their looking for things to cancel and if they see that - all Duran Duran stuff will get erased.

[@defpixel]

visions of CHYNAAAAAAA!!!

[@ahaaha8891]

😍😍😍😍

[@JulieJulieTheRockChickhermiz]

The guy in the middle of them, Andy Warhol 😂

[@sonora_rey]

Duran Duran!

[@charleyanne]

And to think, they spoke of *invisible* way back then...I guess it is *Future Past* for sure!!

[@helgaschmausser-tolle1985]

Simon and voll cool

[@juanpedroperaltacota1990]

I want my MTV, thats what i said to my parents here in mexico!!!

[@andreak8384]

So cute 2021

[@ReNoirIN]

I guess I would have to have been on coke too, to be a guest MTV VJ (ok speculation, but behavior and eyes can sometimes say it all). I don't think there was a time any D² member was guest VJ's where I didn't feel that was the case (course during those days they had a pretty tight line up). If so... who cares anyway... Right! :) Still my favorite band of all time... and thanks for posting Kitty!

[@michellejames1462]

I had a Anthony price dress back in the 80’s cost me £250 back then it was a black shiny dress they also had it in gold I still love Roger Taylor best drummer in my mind 💋💋💋

[@thomassharoniard4629]

They were Seven and the Ragged Tiger

[@IsabelDawnKelly]

"with visions of chiiiinaa"

[@MrFranziecan]

I would love to see those photos of them that Andy Warhol took.

[@ajs41]

This must originally be from March or April 1983.

[@DaftSwank]

Wish Andy Warhol was still around ...

[@gmar7836]

Back when VHS was the thing. And it was crap

[@rahan9886]

Should have left some music/videos in 😉

[@heppolo]

Wonder if Andy Warhol took a selfie

[@jennajackson6305]

2:20 simon and his little spin is sooooo cute!!!

[@winjo7162]

Nick nick 👋🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐈‍⬛🐾👀🤩🐾🐈‍⬛

[@abef5843]

That segment with Andy Warhol was eerily prophetic, with treating Warhol like a ghost when he would pass away only 4 years later, and with the extra emphasis Simon makes in his comment at around 4:26 which would be the title of their latest single some 38 years hence! And by the way... would it have killed you to have left in the "Save a Prayer" video? Just saying.

[@BarbaraDelGiudice]

Wow this is ancient! LOL?

[@BarbaraDelGiudice]

typo - shouldn't be a question mark.

[@indotrash]

Simon pronounces CHY-na just like Trump
