July 2008 - JOHN TAYLOR

John Taylor is the bass guitarist and co-founder of the Pop band Duran Duran. The stats on Duran Duran are remarkable: a total of over 70 million records sold, 18 American hit singles, 30 UK top 30 tunes, and a global presence which guarantees them huge concert audiences on 5 continents. With exotic locations, beautiful girls and stunning effects, Duran Duran took the visual imperatives of the New Romantic movement to another level. Their eponymous debut album sold more than 2.5 million copies in 1981, staying on the charts for an astonishing 118 weeks and spawning the giant hit single ‘Planet Earth'. On their current studio album, ‘Red Carpet Massacre' (released on Epic Records November 2007) they have collaborated with top producers Timbaland and Nate ‘Danja' Hills, as well as long-time Duran fan Justin Timberlake.
