*Archival Interview with the great Andy Taylor from Duran Duran. Andy stay strong and we regret to hear the unforunte news. our thoughts are with you at this time* Duran Duran guitar legend Andy Taylor has announced he is currently battling cancer. https://myglobalmind.com/2020/10/17/a... You can’t think of 80s music without thinking of the multi-platinum superstars Duran Duran. With 120 million albums sold worldwide, acclaimed songwriter and guitarist Andy Taylor was behind the band’s biggest hits and success from 1980 to 1986; then again, when the original line-up reunited from 2001 to 2006. His unique style of playing and songwriting helped propel the band to superstardom and launch a style of music called New Wave. Their first three groundbreaking albums revolutionized the music industry and set an unobtainable bar for generations to come. Their influences can still be heard today in rock, pop, electronic, and other genres. While on hiatus from Duran Duran in 1985, Andy formed Power Station and exceeded expectations by delivering two highly successful albums with vocalist Robert Palmer. From there, he went on to a successful solo career as singer and guitarist, releasing his critically acclimated and influential solo album, Thunder, in 1987. To fans surprise and delight, Andy reunited with Duran Duran for a 25th Anniversary World Tour in 2003 and their 2004 release, Astronaut, before parting ways a second time in 2006. Andy has forged a solid reputation as a songwriter, guitarist, and producer who blends well-crafted songs with guitar and vocal melodies. He has taken his talents to new heights continuing to make solo albums, touring, and producing bands. Andy was scheduled to release his new solo album, in 2020 but with the pandemic, his plans changed. The album is now expected to release the Summer of 2021 via BMG Records Worldwide and will be called Mans a Wolf to Man. Prior to the lockdown, he released a fantastic hard-edged rock single “Love or Liberation,” which was co-written by Ricky Warwick of Black Star Riders. I had the honor of speaking with legendary guitarist Andy Taylor about his upcoming solo album, how Eddie Van Halen’s guitar playing influenced him, how Duran Duran influenced rock bands in the 80s, and why he feels the band is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
