Without a doubt one of the most UNDERRATED bass players of all time!

His bass lines are the very heart and soul of every single Duran Duran song.

But I guess the money and girls compensated for the little recognition he received for his contribution to the band's immense success.

7up!

I have to admit, this opens a whole different avenue for this song. Nice version.

@MisAnnThorpe That's ridiculous. Simon's a fine lyricist, not perfect but all lyricists write crap sometimes, with his own unique vision and his voice IS good, it has character, which is true of most of the most well known rock/pop singers. Bono's voice isn't exactly great and never has been but it has character too and Simon's is technically better than Bono's. And Simon's come up with the many of Duran's melodies and harmonies--that's sort of his "job" in the band musically.

@1ring2rule3pigs The little recognition? John's probably the only who got any, Nick's dismissed despite the fact that he's mostly the "mind" behind almost everything they do, Simon's been put down and criticized since day one for his lyrics and his voice and looks, Roger barely got any attention at all(and for most years he seemed to want it that way). The only other one besides John who ever got recognition was Andy and he got more than he deserved IMO.

After seeing them live and really HEARING those bass lines.. I swear I hum along to all the bass lines instead of singing the lyrics now.. especially with Planet Earth, Rio and Girl Panic!.. LOVE this version... (the year he met Gela right? )

[nickandmel]

have always loved this version..his voice is so melodic and beautiful. and he drives me crazy with those dark brown eyes, of course.

I'm honored that I had actually made guy laugh, proof is seen in photos from the Now and Zen concert in Golden Gate San Francisco 2003. What I didn't know I was hopping away from my fan area and had this female guard put me back to my spot I had no Idea I was moving; I was lost in staring at John. It was by miracle I got in to watch in front thanks to an angel of a worker letting me in since I stood in 90 degree heat watching the back of the stage for 5hrs because the tickets sold out .
