MacDaddy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1325894945' post='1489687'] Yep, seriously under-rated guitarist. [/quote] yeah, he never got the chance to showcase his lead playing for some reason. It's not like there wasn't room, Wild Boys is screaming out for a guitar solo.

deaver Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 [quote name='jackduran' timestamp='1325107153' post='1479973'] I'd be all over this... if we could have 2 John Taylors'! [/quote] You could have three - it's my real name. Thankfully I'm bald, fat and talentless so the tribute circuit can be spared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzibass Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Not sure about the looks but interested in the project - certainly could learn the licks.......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 BUMP! Still looking for the perfect members for the band. I know there's a ton of other muscians here other than bassists, or maybe you know someone who'd want to do this? We're going to play old Duran Duran tunes, up to View To A Kill era most likely. We're doing this properly though, so you'll need to be willing to do the makeup, the hair, the whole New Romantic image... Plus, we want to do this as authentically as possible with the right gear, Prophet synths, Yamaha SG90 guitars etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackduran Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Does tribute band GAS exist? If so, I've got it bad. In all honestly I'm too tall and too limited a guitarist (with no more 6-string gear left bar an old amber-burst Epi Les Paul!) to pull off Andy (pardon?!) so I guess that only leaves Simon as I can't play drums or synths. Might have to start a rival tribute band up north! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackduran Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Check out this picture of my old band (taken about 3 years ago now). How's that for a dodgy JT haircut? Who says dyed-red mullets can't come back in fashion? To be fair I didn't actually get any stick at the time, the punters loved it! Looks a bit dubious looking back on it now, though I'm still channelling John Taylor image-wise. Got the dance moves nailed on, too!

There is a tribute band up north at the moment (maybe Manchester), I think they're just called "Duran: A Tribute", they don't do the image though, just play the songs, so if you sort a decent tribute out that'd be awesome. They did have a great singer though, although I think he left, Simon Le Blond. Loving the red mullet, JT would be proud ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's part of the appeal with DD! The synth player and singer in my band are huge DD fans, but our singer is a drummer in a functions band so a lot of his time is taken up with that. It's a shame as both of them would nail Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor's parts, being fans and good musicians themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basexperience Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You can add another Andy bass player to the pile who saw this thread and fancied the bass slot ;-) Pity, I'm local too! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I could be up for being Roger if it comes off. Look Nowt like him tho, but the playing-not a prob. Nottingham so not too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
