John Taylor - Singing 'Rio' Live

[chiefredbottom]

Thus the multiple reunions. LeBon sucks without John and john sucks without LeBon.

(It all sucks without Nick)

I never knew this existed...until now. I love it, there's so much out there that Duran have done as solo artists that are under the raydar. The singing may not be pitch perfect ( if it was ever thus! ) but the bass riff to this tune is regarded as one of the best on a 7inch single and I would have loved to have seen this live in person. Nice one JT. Great post, many thanks!

John, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee, play the focking bass e shut the focking mouth!:p

[johnny0468]

and thats why he plays bass....its hard to sing and play bass,especially if your not a great singer!p.s i love john taylor but im also a bass player..and i dont do both, if you cant play and sing at the same time when the bass lines are complex dont!!!

[ranaprieta]

I bet John wishes this clip didnt exist.

[frsdert]

decisamente sotto tono

[Phiezer]

What utter `dogchod`.

Duran are fine but this is total SHITE,

they can`t play and he can not sing a lead vocal.

[mitsubaclover]

i love John ver. of RIO!

i had terroristen Tshirt, but threw away with memories･･

[Jeweles3030]

John is so beautiful, he always will be,and add such raw uninhibited talent, he deserves more credit solo.

[Ihateed4ever]

I have loved you since the early 80's you are still the man!!!

[francescajt]

john fantastic thank you

[ecapa0020]

@francescajt

ARE YOU DEAF?

[francescajt]

john wonderfoul your music your voice all

[charliechristeff]

I've nothing against Duranie material - but frankly this is embarassing. JT has no singing voice. The end.

[iluvschnix]

The bass god... glad Mr LeBon sings in Duran Duran. When asked if he'd be singing a song during the Astronaut tour, John said, "I will stick to playing the *&%^^ bass, John." As they say in Spanish, "Zapatero, a tus zapatos!"

[kelly6826]

Totally agree!!! john you are wonderful, but let Simon sing!!!!!

[GuitarHeroandLegend]

I am a Major Duran Duran Fan, but...I think we know why Simon does all the singing! Great playing though~

[TotallyOutOfTouch]

I can't believe it's been already a month since DD was here in Brazil and I was watching them live, so close to me... = ( I want them to come back...

[MargaretMarina]

Wow!!! When was this? I would have loved to have been there... How funny to see Rodney there. I started listening to DD back in 1981 on KROQ with him and Richard.... Thanks for posting !!!
