John Taylor is one of the best bassists ever. New Religion has a great bass line, too. It was filmed in Sri Lanka, and DD was known for their beautiful videos when videos were a new thing. Not a lot of artists wanted to spend money on videos, but DD jumped on the bandwagon and reaped the rewards on MTv.
Ok, so after watching your reaction, I want to first say, if you randomly picked Save a Prayer, you are either a genius or very lucky! 😁 This is one of DD's biggest hits. Having said that, this band is 40+ years and 15 albums into their catalog. They were still recording and touring pre-covid. Back in the 80s, they were called the second coming of the Beatles in terms of their popularity. They ruled rhe world for a time and although they gained a lot of popularity being thought of as an attractive boy band that girls went nuts for, they are in no way simply a boy band musically. Just by this one song alone, I'd say you already figured that out. Genre wise, they started out as something called New Romantic which began in England in the late 70s and early 80s. Some of their earlier stuff would fall under new wave, but by the time of their 3rd studio album, Rio, which this song came off of, I'd call their genre...Duran Duran. You always know it's them when you hear them. They are distinctive, but they float between lots of different sounds. They can sound disco/rock/new wave/hip hop. You just have to explore. Rio is a classic album and spawned many hits making then huge stars. It's still in my top 5 albums of all time. That bass you heard? You haven't really heard anything yet. John Taylor is the bassist and he is very respected in the industry as not only a fabulous bassist, but a key element of the DD sound. Btw, many of their Rio videos were shot in exotic locations or very expensive. They always went all out for their videos and were the darlings of MTV in the 80s. This one was shot in Sri Lanka. I have a ton of DD to recommend where to start is a challenge. However, you cannot go wrong with the official video for Rio.
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude thank YOU for reacting to one of my all time favorite bands! They are very special. I know I mentioned Rio, but in celebration of Halloween coming up next week, I'd looove to see you react to Night Boat. Creepy, almost mini movie-ish video and a really...interesting song. 💀👻
I am 23 but I discovered their music last year. Damn, their songs are astonishingly glossy especially this song. I love it. I started collecting their albums in a cassette right now. They're so aesthetic. 💙💙
The genius of Simon's lyrics is as he once said, they are "slightly divorced from reality". You can sit 20 people down in a room and play any one song on their first few albumns and get 20 different answers as to what each person thought the lyrics meant. They can represent different things to different people. Still love those boys. Met them a couple times decades ago, and they are an absolute blast to be around too. Very funny. :)
My favorite band of all time! Yay! Thank you for reacting!! I, of course, have suggestions if you'd like. I've been a fan since 1982 and will forever be a Duranie.
Simon started off singing in a boys choir, where he learned to harmonize. Fun fact: he's harmonizing with himself in most of their songs ❤ my favorite band
This was filmed in Sri Lanka. A hauntingly beautiful track . They also filmed hungry like the wolf and rio over there. They won the 1983 Grammy for best video album which comprised of these tracks .
Oh My Dude- prepare yourself!! Duran Duran was probably one of the most influential bands of the 80’s and are still going strong now. I absolutely adore them. I’ve seen them more than any other band performing live and they NEVER disappoint!! You could pull anything from their catalog and you will love it. They really did bring us into an era of “New Romanticism”. Check out “Hungry Like The Wolf” or “Is Their Something I Should Know”. “Girls On Film” was # 1 on video juke boxes ( yes- they were a thing ) for like literally ever! Great reaction!! Keep the videos coming! P.S.- the boys in this band were all BEAUTIFUL!! Pretty sure most of the videos for “Rio” were shot in Sri Lanka!
What's their genre? They started out as New Romantics - all frilly shirts, eyeliner, tartan scarfs and boots. But, by this point, their genre is simply Duran Duran. There's no other way to describe them.
Definitely check out DD’s early new wave music: Planet Earth, Girls on Film, and Careless Memories. They then really hit it big with their music videos on MTV, selling over 100 million records worldwide.
One of the best bands to ever walk the earth. Beautiful musicianship, poetic lyrics by Simon LeBon, groundbreaking music videos... they were HUGE in the 80s and they are still making great records today.
Very good pick. Duran Duran were/are so stylish. You need to see Wild Boys video. Again, it's something you won't expect. The entire 80s were so unexpected in fact.
The thing with 80s pop is that there was NO script. Bands were experimenting, and the big labels werent to much on the way. You would turn on the radio and be like WTF is this
Great choice! Duran Duran ruled MTV when the cable channel first launched in the early 1980s (and primarily played music videos back then! :-) ) because their videos looked expensive and several featured exotic locales (this one and also 1982's "Rio" and "Hungry Like the Wolf"). Plus it didn't hurt that the lads were pretty dang good looking. (My fave is John Taylor. :-) ) I also recommend 1983's "Is There Something I Should Know?" and 1993's "Come Undone" and "Ordinary World." Duran Duran initially was lumped in with the other New Romantics from the U.K., like Spandau Ballet ("True"), ABC ("The Look of Love") and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark ("If You Leave").
Huge Duran Duran fan too!!! It’s their 40th anniversary this year. Definitely recommend starting with earlier iconic videos. They literally helped launch MTV with their iconic videos. Their videos were shot all over the world, full of style, sophistication and sexiness. You hit the nail on the head with this review. Amazing music and true artists who cared deeply and explored and dominated the early video genre. Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf would be classics. ❤️
duran duran is - new wave (synth post-punk) / pop rock / synth pop / pop - a style typical from the 80's and 90's when the guitars where loosing space to synthetizers , and the eletronic drum sounds where begining to dominate sometimes totally replacing a human drummer.
Ohhhh Duran Duran. Loved them!! You definitely have to check out wild boys by them and so many others! You’re going to wish you were born in the mid70s like me so by the time the mid80s came you would’ve lived through all of this great music🙂
You keep picking things I like in your reactions which is good :). Duran Duran wise, I'd definitely recommend 'Ordinary World', 'Come Undone', 'The Reflex', 'Wild Boys', 'Rio', 'Is There Something I Should Know', and whilst there's no official music video (as it wasn't officially released), there are some fan videos and a live video for one of my favourite songs of theirs called 'The Man Who Stole a Leopard' (weird title I know, but such a great song).
Lonely in Your Nightmare is my favorite DD song. I have been a Duranie since I can remember and my first crush ever in life was John Taylor and that amazing jawline.
I'm not sure if anybody answered your question: This video was filmed in Sri Lanka. It's one of their trilogy of videos shot there, the other two being "Lonely In Your Nightmare" and "Hungry Like The Wolf", which are definitely both worth checking out.
John Taylor is one of the best bassists out there. He had a great Instagram Stories over the summer where he broke down some of their biggest hits and played and discussed how he came up with his lines. This video and Hungry Like the Wolf were shot in Sri Lanka. They shot many videos in really exotic locations, pretty representative of the over the top 80's.
Duran Duran, the greatest thing to hit America during the second English Invasion. Fondly known in the UK as the Fab Five. They considered themselves a guitar/synth band. And you need to check out the side projects. Andy and John went and played for Power Station, while Simon and Nick formed Arcadia. Roger jumped between them and played for both. And they have a new album coming out in 2021.
Duran Duran are so good. I grew up with them and Madonna. Their most epic long form video for me is Girl Panic. John Taylor is a great bassist, so much to discover.
What genre? 80's pop! They represented the synth-heavy music that became popular in the early 80s from mainly British bands like Duran Duran and then took over the American charts too. Love you heartfelt reactions and appreciation of the artistry behind the music and videos! They shot this video in Sri Lanka, that mountain is a holy mountain in the center of the island.
I love this song! I love the entire Rio Album! I am a Duranie forever! The vocals on this album were amazing and I love Simon’s voice mixed with the melody on this song! Yes, this video is absolutely beautiful, filmed in Sri Lanka! They always had the best videos!! I think you had a very good understanding of the song! ❤️❤️
Duran Duran was really big in the early 80’s. They are more in the New Wave category. The whole band is good looking and very stylish, and make great music videos. I’ve always like this song. The song “Rio” is my favorite of theirs (you’ll love the bass). I feel their sound was bit ahead of their time. They’re good band and experimental.
I’m so glad you are enjoying Duran Duran’s music! They have so many great songs. I have been a Duran Duran fan for 40 years. As you dig deeper into their musical catalog, you’ll learn to appreciate their musicianship even more! They were the epitome of 80’s music and are still producing great songs. Save a Prayer is off their 1982 album Rio and one of their most popular hits. And you are correct about the meaning of the song. John Taylor is the bassist, he is awesome but unfortunately underrated. Keep the DD music coming!
My favorite band bar none. I absolutely love their song writing and playing. John Taylor on bass is amazing. Listen to Rio and Girls on Film. They have their own sound. Also check out View to a Kill, Notorious, The Reflex, Come Undone, Ordinary World, The Chauffeur, New Religion (live from their As The Lights Go Down film also Careless Memories from that same concert) Girl Panic, Skin Trade etc etc I believe the music video was shot in Sri Lanka
I love this song! I called it the Zelda song in the 80’s when I was younger. It sounds like Nintendo NES Zelda music lol. 😂 I love the Eastern(?) influences.. whichever influence it is I love it. Great sound. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good to see the younger generations discover Duran Duran. I have an 18-yr old daughter who loves and shares all of my 80s music tastes. Be sure to check out this video from VH1 called, Making of Save a Prayer: th-cam.com/video/xuh6gES_oYo/w-d-xo.html
Duran Duran has been with me most of my life. some extent suggestions in the comments,, but I’d like to propose a couple lesser mentioned ones, ‘Out of my Mind’ (especially the Perfecto Mix) and ‘Electric Barbarella’. Other than that, Ordinary World, Come Undone, Planet Earth, Girls on film, I Don’t Want Your Love, A View to a Kill, Hungry Like a Wolf and The Wild Boys are all classics.
Not special effects on Simon Le Bon's singing vocals. Looove Duran Duran. The video was shot in Sir Lanka. They made several videos there including one of their biggest hits Hungry Like the Wolf. Love your reaction!
I probably say Rio Brazil maybe the Amazon river in some scenes (: But areas like this would spark such inspiration too create music like this (: Especially the instrumental (: And Yes your right it is about s one night stand (: Duran Duran have always been I think a very experimental music al group with very unique sounds (:
@@ninawildr4207 Yessssss..one of the best cinematic experiences of all time... im so jealous of my sister who got to be at that 101st show, but I met the band twice so we're even lol
And where is my Toni Braxton reaction video I’m still waiting why you don’t wanna do Tony is because she’s black. 😂. I’m teasing I’m teasing. I know your busy 😌😌🥰
Nope, It’s definitely because she’s black. I just couldn’t take it anymore! 😂 In all seriousness, I’ve just been a little ahead of schedule. You’ll get your Toni fix next week!! Hope ya don’t mind the wait! 😁
@@PancakeMarshmallowDude lol your funny!! Yes. That’s great thanks! I’m not sure if you ever watched the old show called MADtv. One of my favorite characters was played by Debra Wilson. It was Miss Bunifa Latifah Halllifa Jackson . She was one of the best. Her skits were sooo funny! Try to check those out if you never have That’s where I got that from. Shed be arguing with somebody and say why is it because I’m black. She’s hilarious!!
That depends on the song. Early DD, very hard if not impossible poetic language to decipher. Later the lyrics became more personal and profound. A great example is Ordinary World and Do You Believe in Shame.
One of the finest tunes of all times! No genre, it’s their own what they are, Duran Duran, unique!
John Taylor is one of the best bassists ever. New Religion has a great bass line, too. It was filmed in Sri Lanka, and DD was known for their beautiful videos when videos were a new thing.

Known as the New Romantics, top of the second British Invasion
i'd guess the location of the video would be Zanzibar on east coast of Africa, but i think i'm wrong!!!
@ Sri Lanka
I am 23 but I discovered their music last year. Damn, their songs are astonishingly glossy especially this song. I love it. I started collecting their albums in a cassette right now. They're so aesthetic. 💙💙
I'm 33and I discovered them 4 myself when I was 19.They influenced to mea, as the musician)
You are in for a treat. I can't even imagine discovering DD now and just plowing through their entire catalog. Mind blowing.
You are speecheless. I understand. You are listening to one of the best bands ever.
John Taylor is an iconic bass player...you caught that one right away!! 👍
I couldn’t help but notice!
And the John is the hunky one in the group in my opinion!
One of the most ground breaking bands of the 80s. SO MANY AMAZING SONGS: Ordinary World, Hungry like the Wolf, Rio, Skin Trade, New Moon on Monday
is there something i should know, girls on film, the union of the snake, a view to a kill (007 theme), the reflex,

This is my favorite DD song. ❤️ They have some great ones, even in the 2010s. You should check out Come Undone or Leave a Light On or Notorious
Will do!!
Come Undone is about the darkest, sexiest love song ever - both sonically and lyrically. Well worth reviewing. 💖
Your reaction of speechless is correct! The video was filmed in
Sri Lanka. The whole Rio album from front to back is a pop musical gem.

Duran Duran were considered the "James Bond" of videos in the early 80's... in other words big budget on location and such.
I don’t understand why the video is blurred in sections? As for the harmony, it’s Simon harmonizing with himself on multi tracks.
The video was blurred in sections to avoid copyright issues, at the time.
This music video was shot in Sri Lanka by film Director Russel Mulcahy who made the movie "Highlander" and the tv series "Teen Wolf"
The bass player John Taylor is the one sitting there playing the bass with the hat on!

Don’t waste too much time on the meaning of Duran Duran’s lyrics - there is no there there.
That depends on the song. Early DD, very hard if not impossible poetic language to decipher. Later the lyrics became more personal and profound. A great example is Ordinary World and Do You Believe in Shame.
Only if you have no imagination...
My fav song in my life💗
