this has been one of the best videos I have watched in forever. watching the heat build up in your forearms and fingers, shaking it off. Dedication to the jump and energy and precision and power that John has consistently delivered for 4 decades. Playing the whole album at the pace you're going. Best concert in a long time. Thank you. I'm an aspiring bassist (at 52). Inspirational. You rock the fuck outta it.
Props! J.T.'s basslines are no joke! I never much cared for Duran Duran until one day I decided I needed to learn Rio simply because that bassline is so killer even if one doesn't particularly care for the band. I have been hooked ever since. Combing through their discography and discovering the many gems found therein has been a joy. I have not seen them live in person. But I am imagining the energy has got to be electrifying especially when they were in their prime.
Bravo ... well nailed! Back in the 80's in Highschool I taught myself all the drum parts to a variety of Banshees albums ... I would come home from school and sit down at the kit and usually play through the entire Nocturne Live Concert album - note for note ... did same with Tinderbox, JuJu and many others. A little later I taught myself all the Guitar parts by John MvGeoch and play through the entire albums ... it's a discipline and something all musicians should do. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

Absolutely brilliant performance. What a fantastic way to pay tribute to the exquisite bass playing craftsmanship of John Taylor. Awe inspiring! Now for the Rio album.... 👍
Fell on the vid....loved it...from tea drinking to Robot dance..😂...can tell you in touch with bass and feel it pal 🤘...made me recall who good this album was and still is 👍🏻
Andy and Roger had been playing at least 7-8 years by the time they joined so it’s crazy to me that John picked up the bass so quickly. He probably knew the bare minimum in terms of theory if anything at all yet he knew how to hit all the right notes. It was the perfect combination of musicians at the perfect time. Still is but back then it was lightening in a bottle. GOF is a workout but super fun to play.
What can i say but fcuk, i am 52 years old and the unique sound of Duranx2 lives on. The drums, absurd lyrics, keyboards, basslines, guitar notes, the bridge...nithing like it today.
I bought Duran Duran' début on cassette tape (EDR / Expanded Dynamic Range)! Saw them on the Seven and the Ragged Tiger Tour in Chicago . . . This is somehow equally as gratifying, considering that John Taylor is the LORD of ALL pop bassists! I can't stop watching - you are the man!
I’m a drummer and I only got 2 words for that: NICE! John Taylor was almost criminally under appreciated as a bass playing musician until quite recently? Even so, I heard brilliance in the very first Duran Duran song I ever heard “Girls on Film”. Have you considered doing any of the B-Side tunes from that “era”? I’d love to see your rendition of “Faster Than Light”? I don’t think you need any praise from a complete stranger, but I enthusiastically approve of, and have deep respect for your musicianship, skill and perhaps most importantly, how comfortable you are playing these songs! It’s not work when you wear those expressions! Smooth grooves, Kristian! 🤌
If I close my eyes and listen, I can hear John Taylor. I wouldn’t have guessed it was someone else. Awesome job! You’ve got the vibe, the rhythm, the sound! I think one and only JT would love your performance!! 😎❤️😎❤️
Incredible. Good work, sir. I'm not even a bassist but this was captivating. All from memory too! 🙌🏻 As someone else noted, thanks for the free concert.
You did a fantastic job, mate. This was the first album of theirs I listened to back when it came out, and I fell in love with the band ever since. You have done justice to this solid pioneering album. Cheers from a die hard Durannie from Malaysia
I was in high school when this album debuted. I used to fall asleep with this album playing though my headphones. Planet Earth was my favorite song from this album. Thanks for the memories.
The first Album that caught my imagination and got me to follow Duran Duran all over the country my favourite concert was at Aston Villas ground cant remember the year...anyway that was a great reminisce..cheers
Fantastic! I didn't appreciate John Taylor at the time, but man, the dude can play! And such a distinctive sound and tone. You nailed it with the Aria Pro II SB 1000! What a beautiful bass. And you clearly had fun doing this. Bravo.
Even the Aria Pro man!!! Inspiration is the word for me! Congrats Kristian! Tks for the show! As a 53 years old I start tô play bass listening John…return tô play 2 years ago. As I said you are an Inspiration! Tks man
(this just came up in my playlist as I was editing....) I had to go back a screen - I Thought it was a remastered DD version I was listening to - only to find it was Kristian behind the curtain! WTF! 🤟🤟
The mix I've always heard in my head on these songs, since I was 11 (40 years ago!): the bass a couple of thousand miles above the rest. Kudos, you really feel John, and *that* Aria!
Been playing duran duran songs since i was 12 had a aria pro 2 sb1000 bass the original nothing sounded quite like it and sold it at 17 for $175 so i can save money for a car what a mistake ive since had a reissue that i currently own .i was inspired by john taylor his sound and groove still hard to match way before his time..one great bass tune after another .
Herculean effort. Few people realise that solid bass playing is all about stamina.
If John Taylor ever quits Duran Duran you could easily slide, fingerpick and slap your way into the gig!!!! Outstanding!!!!
He’s better looking too
he grows his hair a little longer gets some hairspray itll be like nothing happens

Got the right bass. Got the skills. Got the time. Got the rhythm

That was precious you are a great artist and bass player in your own right, I can't believe John was what 21yr when they recorded this.

Duran Duran, I wish you would tour playing 2 different full albums per tour, that would be heaven for true Duranies, and there are plenty of us!
Respect! A great tribute to the bass-artistry of that album, and John Taylor would be well impressed :)
Absolutely brilliant performance. What a fantastic way to pay tribute to the exquisite bass playing craftsmanship of John Taylor. Awe inspiring! Now for the Rio album.... 👍
He already the did the Rio album about 2 years before this one: th-cam.com/video/l8HZgHnOuyM/w-d-xo.html
Your taste in rock music is second to NONE my fellow low frequency connoisseur! 👍🙂

Hi! I came here for a bass cover. Ended up listening to a full concert! Love it.

He probably knew the bare minimum in terms of theory if anything at all yet he knew how to hit all the right notes. It was the perfect combination of musicians at the perfect time.

He studied music.
@@richardrichard5409 he went to art colleage. Not music college. He is a natural.

Holy crap, that takes a lot of focus and an elephant's memory. Good on you

Kristian is deadly spot on. He should be VP to JT. A heartbeat away. Amazing!🍻
DUUUUDE!!!! You killed it! You could give John some lessons with your syncopation skills!
Very fun. You got the grove.
