John is exquisite. Not just (clearly) in looks, but talent on the bass, and even his shyness here in the early days is very, very endearing. Intriguing... quite paradoxical to that evident shyness that he has admitted to in his book, I found it incredible to find out in retrospect what an absolute driving force he was behind starting the band, designing the art graphics for their posters and being the member of the band with the vision. Duran Duran had described themselves as the most unlikely yet sublime blend of "punk, disco, funk, glam", well I think we can really look big time to JT for this development of the sound, as he was the one who did indeed embrace fully the two opposing genres of punk and disco, which was a quite niche and unpopular thing to do in the late 1970's. Thank goodness he did, as Duran's sound reflects this gorgeous and powerful blend of influence perfectly. The self described "funky punk". I think many wrote him off as a "pretty boy" (he's exceptionally STUNNING physically), but he really had the talent too, and is by far one of the top bassists of the 80's, with a sound that is very innovative yet sadly at times under appreciated by critics. Luckily, many serious music fans know well and understand that John is absolutely an innovative and seriously killer bassist, with that insanely riveting staccato style, arguably one of the absolute coolest and most enigmatic figures that the 80's (and late 70's!) birthed. Thank goodness Nigel took off the glasses and became John, but I really feel a strong soft spot for that gorgeous young fella Nigel who was the ultimate driving force of the band's beginnings.

Duran Duran came out a few months after Spandau Ballet in 1980 and DD are celabrating 40+ years in the music sceen. Tony Haddley has a great voice no dought about that as he said just recently he should have joined for DD no hope Tony, Simon was their best choice...

@bicj11793 жыл бұрын
I think the rivalry was more to do with being hot young guys in their twenties, similar fashions early on, plus both growing out of the new wave/ new romantic movements in opposing areas of the UK - specifically, London and Birmingham. But I think they were quite friendly with each other, particularly John with members of SB. There was even a famous game show on tv at that time where the bands played a quiz opposite each other, with Duran Duran winning, such was the media's emphasis on their rivalry. The music however was different, and obviously Duran Duran had more sustained success worldwide for a longer period, and have definitely sold more records - to the point I think they are one of the highest UK selling artists of all time, something like 70 million. However, I wouldn't call Spandau Ballet one hit wonders. 'True' is one of the most played US radio hits of all time, possibly more than any DD hit, and certainly in the UK they had success with other hits like 'Musclebound', 'Through the Barricades', 'Gold' and 'Chant No.1'. Plus Spandau appeared at Live Aid and on the band aid record like DD. But yes, ultimately, a true rivalry was more early on.

it's the other way around actually. simon is the one who's jealous of john. you can read andy taylor's book, he talks about how simon jealous that john got all the female attention and how EMI chose john to be the icon and published him more than other members as EMI think john is the most handsome and photogenic of all duran's members. andy says simon got jealous because he is the singer but the record company promoted john first and made him pin up boy to attract female fans. andy also talk about how simon so jealous when DD met princess diana and princess diana walked past simon and went directly to john. there is a picture where you can see simon glaring at john with so much jealousy when princess diana greets john. simon think he is the one that should get all the spotlight and attention since he is the singer but it turns out it's john who gets all of that. however as the time went by they put aside their rivalry and became good friends. although, simon still shows his jealousy of john whenever john gets more attention and simon hides his jealousy by teasing john or making snarky comments. you can watch video of jonathan ross with DD. you can see how simon face turned red when jonathan compared simon to john said john is better looking than simon while simon looks like a farmer and simon is threatened by john's good look
