One of the few bands in history that the Bass player was really the lead guitar player. Generally, the bass player is the guy that they needed for backing vocals and they taught him a few notes....
He's not known for taking risks with time signatures and Alternate music styles. Underrated? No Perfect for that band? More likely boy band member that could play
In their time many saw them as a new wave, bubble gum, pop rock type band. Move forward 40 years and you realize these guys were supremely talented artists.
At their live show; The Edge of U2 keeping the beat, Dave Grohl of Nirvana & Foo Fighters playing the air drum, Pink and Gwen Steffani singing and dancing along to the songs, Ed Sheeran and especially Lionel Richie giving a standing ovation must be more valuable for Duran Duran than being elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What a talented and diverse audience ! We love them 🎶
Can you imagine looking around at your mates, with whom you’ve played these songs thousands of times, and thinking, “who would’ve thought we’d be here??” I saw them on tour this year, and now catching all of these videos- and the thing that strikes me (besides how under-rated they are) is how much joy they have for their craft and for each other. Just really cool to watch
Ironically, they were always a real music band, and discarded initially. And I listened to DD from 1982 i also thought before I listend, at age 11 they were girly. That was until I heard Planet Earth. Then the world of DD opened up.
Miss the days when it was just the lads. Now they have these backup singers and there's nothing wrong with them; I just miss the original five. (Yes, Andy too.)
Duran Duran is one of the all time greats. They've got their unique sound, everybody who is born 70's or before will know immediately when they hear what band this is.
I was a bit unprepared for how amazing they sound in 2023. Simon sounds better now than 30 years ago. A bit of technology has really helped there although the man has taken care of the vocal chords over the decades. After trying to ignore and make excuses for how pale the recent Madonna concerts sound I can breathe a sigh of relief concerning the boys, Duran Duran. One of the best sounding Rock and Roll induction medleys I have ever seen.
He's been through it...almost lost his voice a few years ago but got a vocal coach and it helped tremendously. I saw them live last June and they were great. Just imperfect enough that you could tell they were doing for real if that makes sense
The thing that makes him sound his best was losing his voice in the 00s and then training to bring it back, and learning stance and breathing control which he never knew, being self taught.
They sound so fantastic, finally getting the appreciation for their musicianship, production, composition and lyrical majesty, don't hate them because they are beautiful.
I know I’m prejudiced since I was a Duranie back in the 80’s but this has remained one of my favorite bands through the years. I finally saw them live in 2019. It was one of the funnest concerts I’ve ever attended. I love that Simon’s voice has stood the test of time. Glad they were finally inducted a couple years ago. They deserved it!
I grew up listening to the 80's songs, particularly New Wave. Duran Duran is always at the top of my list ! They truly deserved this ❤ What a legendary group!
@KeiPalace They didn't open for anyone, they were the headliners. I still have the ticket stub. It was Saturday, October 3, 1981. They first came to America in September of 1981.
Saw them in 1984 at the Worcester Centrum (Massachusetts). My friends and I were 18-19 years old and this was our generation's "boy band". 2 of my friends camped out overnight at the Centrum box office to get tickets. We ended up in the 3rd row. Only paid $25 a piece for those tickets back then. Could never afford those kind of seats now. I'm glad they sound as good live now as they did back then - Simon's voice is still great. Really wish I caught them back in September when they were in Boston. Hope they tour in this area again soon.
They were my first real favourite band in the early 80's. And Seven and the Ragged Tiger was the very first pop album I owned. That album still sounds great and Duran Duran is still going strong. Hope to be seeing them live for the first time after more than 40 years.
Watched them here in Phoenix a few years ago along with Chic. My goodness they put up a great show. Do yourself a favor and watch them live. They are f*cking great!!!
Growing up during The MTV days, Duran Duran was my favorite group. I wanted to be Simon LeBon. Lol! Even 42 years later these guys are “totally awesome”
they've put out some great songs since their 'glory days" that get lost in the shuffle of todays scene. Check out "What Happens Tomorrow" and What are the Chances"... and more uptempo stuff...."Girl Panic" and "Pressure Off" among many others..
I've been waiting to finally enjoy this performance and I was not disappointed at all. They sounded so good. I am happy to see them get their due recognition.
Saw them live in Inverness, Scotland last year and they were absolutely fantastic. Hit after hit after hit. Fantastic connection with their audience. Thank you lads 👏
I am mighty glad that I grew up in the 1980s ... All these great talents and songs ... Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and Taylor brothers were the poster boys ...
Watching this i am transported being a teenager again😢😢😢Simon's vocals have gotten stronger👏👏👏Amazing & Wonderful performance. i love watching L.L.Cool J bopping to Hungry like a Wolf👩🎤👩🎤👩🎤
All you watching this should listen to their 2011 album All You Need is Now in its entirety a few times... SO GOOD!!! Missing AndyT big time though... payers for him!!
John Taylor's bass playing deserves its own spotlight!
One of the best!! Saw them in 2022 at MSG
@@chrisluckhardt RIGHT?! The bass on Rio...wtf? Amazing! The problem is is considered the hot guy from Duran...but he has crazy skills
He’s the bass god
John Taylor's ass deserves its own spotlight!
One of the few bands in history that the Bass player was really the lead guitar player. Generally, the bass player is the guy that they needed for backing vocals and they taught him a few notes....
This is one of those rare bands of this vintage that has maintained or improved over time. Incredible.
I wouldnt say improved. His vocals are nowhere near as good as they used to be. Still good, but definitely not an improvement
@@cesnav7593 la voz es unica y buena , el bajo es excelente tambien
So true--I don't know how they do it..Practice taking care of their health/voices
@@hejiranyc exactly! Great comment brother..
Definitely improved
LL Cool J singing along and Dave Grohl doing air drums to "Hungry Like the Wolf" is everything!
Music is blind
Everyone is a DD fan
Lenny Kravitz singing Ordinary World
John Taylor is the most underrated bass player in music.
He's not known for taking risks with time signatures and Alternate music styles. Underrated? No Perfect for that band? More likely boy band member that could play
@@josephrileyosullivan the fact that you categorize him as a boy band bassist makes you smell of RRHOF and Rolling Stone magazine.
I think people know he is a mater
@@peterkelley07 right, unlike any other band's bassist...
I agree. Taylor can fill the foundation and the dance floor. Very underrated.
for 40 years later his voice is insanely perfect
I was just thinking the same thing! He's still got it!!!!
40 years later. We are the only one listening to great songs like this.
44 actually He started in 1980 with the Band
Love this band so much. Simon has maintained his voice incredibly ❤❤❤❤ Songs have stood the test of time.
It really is remarkable...
He & they sound better then ever!😍
He finally got a vocal coach a few years ago after he lost his voice suddenly. Really paid off.
EXACTLY!!!!!!
In their time many saw them as a new wave, bubble gum, pop rock type band. Move forward 40 years and you realize these guys were supremely talented artists.
They were the original New Romantics (complete with frilly cuffs)
Adam and the Ants.... these guys... Boy George... Spandau Ballet
New Wave was Gary Numsn and others
At their live show; The Edge of U2 keeping the beat, Dave Grohl of Nirvana & Foo Fighters playing the air drum, Pink and Gwen Steffani singing and dancing along to the songs, Ed Sheeran and especially Lionel Richie giving a standing ovation must be more valuable for Duran Duran than being elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. What a talented and diverse audience ! We love them 🎶
Thanks, I was wondering about that! Cool to see them enjoying it!
And don’t forget LL COOL J DOING THE DO DO DO DOS, WITH BADASS GESTURES AND A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE
Dolly Parton grooving to "Hungry Like the Wolf".
And LL Cool J
@@MrEmiHa Duran Duran is my favorite band of all time and LL Cool J is my favorite rapper of all time. From New Wave to Hip Hop, I love it all.
This is what happens when you sing properly and take care of your voice!!! Wow!!!! ❤
@@AmberMcQuiston true story brother!
And write fucking good songs.
You’re right about that!!!!
You’re right about that!!!!
@@djcie1018True!!!!
Fell in love with Duran Duran from the beginning and still listening in 2024.

'Underated' - please, just stop.
Cool 👌
Miss the days when it was just the lads. Now they have these backup singers and there's nothing wrong with them; I just miss the original five. (Yes, Andy too.)
Duran Duran is classic 80s music. We all grew up with it and knew they were special, even back then.
Love the celebs in the audience singing like fans!!
Simon LeBon...unique voice and top 20 all time imo...
Amazing voice....can't replace him
@@Journey_Escape_81 and he is still awesome.
Dam they still sound awesome
Agreed!!!!!
Nobody deserved being in the hall more than these gents
True!!!!
As big as Duran Duran have always been, they are still so underrated. ❤❤❤
Back then, 40 years ago, you could not appreciate how talented they really were. Now you know it
some of us knew back then!
I love seeing Dolly, LL Cool J, P!nk, The Edge, and everyone else dancing to Duran Duran!! Dave Grohl doing air drums too!
Duran Duran is one of the all time greats. They've got their unique sound, everybody who is born 70's or before will know immediately when they hear what band this is.
John Taylor is a phenomenal bassist, deserves more credit. Hope Andy is doing well.
What's wrong with Andy
@@jayshreenarshi686 He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer for years & revealed it in a letter that Simon read to the audience at the RRHOF.

Ordinary World is the song!! 👏👏👏
He has a very good voice. And looks fit for a man of his age. I love girls on film song.
They sound so fantastic, finally getting the appreciation for their musicianship, production, composition and lyrical majesty, don't hate them because they are beautiful.
And yet the won't take Styx...
Such a magnificent band!!
Exceptional live performance. The band members have kept themselves in great shape and they look and sound fantastic!! Aspirational.
and Dave Grohl air drumming to Hungry Like the Wolf..... Absolute magic!!

Great band and what a distinctive voice Mr. LeBon has....love their songs
WHAT A GREAT VOICE..👏👏👏👏👏
STILL SUSTAINED DESPITE HIS AGE. AWESOME!!!!
I live in NE Ohio and am honored that Cleveland was chosen for the rock and roll Hall of fame.
Best Location in the Nation!!! Even the iconic Tom Hanks recently spoke that truth (on Conan?)!
The best performance all night❤
owned the 80's without having to fight for it...GODS
Still amazing after all these years!
Yes they are!!!!
I had posters, vinyls. Teenyear idols especially Nick Rhodes. Now I'm almost 53. 🙌🙌🙌 they still are awww
CONGRATS DURAN DURAN, I HAD NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD WIN ❤ NICOLA ❤❤❤
Great Performance ❤
This is what real talents looks and sounds!! So lucky to have been a teen in the 80s!!
Girls on film has a guitar solo that only Andy plays. Awesome part of the song.
The 🎶 music is like fine 🍷 wine, it is superb. 🎨 🙏🏻 An outstanding performance!
Grandes de ayer , hoy y siempre!!!! Aguante Duran Duran!!!!
Duran ;)
Have loved these boys for 45 years and I ain't ever gonna stop! Love them and wish Andy prayers for his health!
I grew up listening to the 80's songs, particularly New Wave. Duran Duran is always at the top of my list ! They truly deserved this ❤ What a legendary group!
Their music was poppy, dark, fun and funky all at the same time.
Great band... They still sound fantastic!!
True!!!!
Wow, standing ovation from Lionel Richie. Greatness, DD.
DD ROCK❗️❗️❗️😎
DD still makes my heart beat and other parts of my body swoon ❤❤❤❤❤. Timeless and Talented AF.
One&Only Duran Duran ❤❤❤
I saw them in L.A in October, 1981 at The Roxy Theatre. I think it was their first American tour! It was awesome!
I can imagine!!
If they were opening for Blondie yes, it was
@KeiPalace They didn't open for anyone, they were the headliners. I still have the ticket stub. It was Saturday, October 3, 1981. They first came to America in September of 1981.
Live and no backing singers…. Still tremendous musicians into their 60s, this is real talent and a well deserved accolade!
They sound awesome. Not sure about the comment about there are no backup singers (there are two female backing vocalists on stage to the left)
No backing singers? What are Ana & Rachel doing back there then?
they do having backing singers, the two ladies to the side and of course, the boys are also singing backup like Nick
Can't stop watching this
Saw them in 1984 at the Worcester Centrum (Massachusetts). My friends and I were 18-19 years old and this was our generation's "boy band". 2 of my friends camped out overnight at the Centrum box office to get tickets. We ended up in the 3rd row.

They aren’t a boy band.
I saw them in 1981 - their first UK headline Tour.
They sound fantastic ❤
One of my very favorite bands of my middle school/ high school years! 🩷🩷🩷
They were my first real favourite band in the early 80's. And Seven and the Ragged Tiger was the very first pop album I owned. That album still sounds great and Duran Duran is still going strong. Hope to be seeing them live for the first time after more than 40 years.
💃🕺👯 the best Duran Duran
My favorite new wave band ever by far
So happy for the boys. This is a very well-deserved honor.
Yes indeed!!!!
LL Cool J is always having the best time. What a legend.
Watched them here in Phoenix a few years ago along with Chic. My goodness they put up a great show. Do yourself a favor and watch them live. They are f*cking great!!!
Epic last seconds when Lionel Richie stands up stunned and honestly in tribute; saying something like "great" or "yes"....
Fantastic vocals and amazing group !
Nick Rhodes looks so great as an older gentleman. Simon's voice is spectacular.
AS BRILLIANT AS EVER!!!!❤
wonderful, meravigliosi, inimitabili, mitici Duran Duran
Growing up during The MTV days, Duran Duran was my favorite group.
I wanted to be Simon LeBon. Lol!
Even 42 years later these guys are “totally awesome”
They deserve it ❤
Yes indeed!!!!!
Over 40 years one classic after another. Great live band
Yes indeed!!!!
A great tribute to this Era. I miss this time of such intense music that goes through your soul to your heart. Great charismatic band.

STILL AMAZING!!!! LISTENING 2024
Great band- some of the best synth pop and pop songs of all time
Saw them live in Inverness, Scotland last year and they were absolutely fantastic.
Hit after hit after hit.
Fantastic connection with their audience.
Thank you lads 👏
Very tight, dialed-in, total-band performance! SUPERB vocals, Simon!- really potent, with such terrific inflection-flow! Bravo DD! (and fantastic audio, ..cheers! to the sound engineers & techs!)

My favourite band. I'm so proud ❤
underrated, catchy tunes, had "the" look. the world loves duran duran
They sound great. I’ve been a fan since the start. I’m so annoyed at myself for never seeing them live.
They are still touring, go and see them, they are great!
Omg from following them in the 80’s. I’m still in love 😻
Dudes are amazing.
Pure Gold
I am mighty glad that I grew up in the 1980s ...
All these great talents and songs ...

The Taylors are not related by blood.
@@tracymccowan4232 Thank you for clarification
Simon's voice so strong wonderful 💯
They are a amazing band!! My favorite of all time!
I grew up in the 80's. I was 6 in 1980. Absolutely love the music from that decade and to see one of my favorite bands make it to the HOF is amazing
I was 7, little one 😁✌️
always the best
Watching this i am transported being a teenager again😢😢😢Simon's vocals have gotten stronger👏👏👏Amazing & Wonderful performance. i love watching L.L.Cool J bopping to Hungry like a Wolf👩🎤👩🎤👩🎤
Seen them 4 times in concert and in awe at each of them. Quintessential band of our time.
Superb 👍
Taylor is one bad ass bassist! I would love to have his Peavey collection! Thomas, Mississippi, Home of Peavey!!!
All you watching this should listen to their 2011 album All You Need is Now in its entirety a few times... SO GOOD!!! Missing AndyT big time though... payers for him!!
Amazing band! Rio, along with its amazing video, is one of the greatest of the 80s and they has soooooooo many other amazing songs.
They're the best group Duran Duran 🎉
