Tony Banks - Still
SadFat
Can everybody tell me exactly which Andy Taylor played in
"Still"- which one who's member of "Duran Duran" or anybody
other? Different sources of information don't have a common
point of view in this question. If anybody has more
information about this Andy Taylor ("Still") it would be
better to receive some news about him.
Grateful beforehand.

like him at all.

Then how crushed I was to hear this guy's Adam Sandlerish voice? They made
Bowie change his name...they should have made this guy do the same!

don't know who it is, but it isn't the DD Andy Taylor. Unless he had some
major reconstructive surgery. He is pictured inside the sleeve.

thought for a moment that it wasn't him. It looks and sounds like him,
and he plays the guitar.

Sounds like him?!??? And come one, if it was THE Andy Taylor wouldn't we have
at least heard some of his guitat sound on Still (which Still could have used
if you ask me).

Anybody other. It's not the same guy.

Why is it Tony and Mike don't get to work with the first team? First the Paul
Young fiasco, now this! Maybe they can reform with Phil Collen of Def Leppard.

Fish and Paul Carrack aren't the "first team"?! Steve Hillage?
Tony Beard? They've worked with some serious guys in their
long careers.

Don't know why this should've bugged me but it has, so I've done a bit
of research.
Check out the following link to an Andy Taylor website:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/2578/andytaylor.html
Or if you really can't bear it,I quote from the site:
"Andy did vocals on two tracks on Tony Banks' (of Genesis) solo album
"Still." The songs, "The Gift" and "Still Takes Me By Surprise" were
both released as singles. The "Still Takes Me By Surprise" single
contained an edit of the song, the "The Gift" single was the album
version. "Still" is out of print in the states, but may be still
available elsewhere."
I think maybe some people are confusing Andy Taylor with John Taylor,
also of Duran Duran, who was tall and skinny one with a pale face, and
who all the girls fancied. I think my little sister fancied him. Now
she goes for Tull's Ian Anderson.

Yeah, but: what proof do they have of this? Do they even know who Tony
Banks is, or are they repeating information from someone else? Where is
the documentation? I have done so much work myself that I am skeptical
of anything like this until I see it backed up somehow.

There are (or, were) three Taylors, all unrelated, in DD:
1) John: the bassist, still with them the last
I heard, who was tall and skinny
2) Roger: the drummer, who got out of music entirely
3) Andy: the short, stocky (as I remember) guitarist
who did some solo stuff and Powerstation
I saw the '90s Andy on a special about DD on television, and he has put
on a lot of weight as I remember. If he was the guy on Still, I'd like
to see the airbrush artist who fixed him up. He would also be much older
than the guy in Still's cover.
The other thing is Andy has a rougher voice than I remember the guy
on Still having -- it's been a long time since I heard Andy singing,
what was it, that song ... um, Lolita? Lola? I can't remember. But he
was more of a rough, low-register guy as I remember. Been a long time,
though, so don't quote me on that :) He covered that song (the one that
goes "lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-something") in his solo career.
Scott
PS: Or, they could have used the wrong picture, who knows? Any graphical
designer dumb enough to use a picture of a guy with his eyes closed
looking like a dufus as the cover picture is definitely not firing on
all thrusters. Still has one of the worst covers in the history of rock.
As an artistic piece, it screams: "DON'T BUY THIS, IT'S BORING!" At least
use a painting good enough that people will buy it just for the art if
not the music, if you don't think Tony's mug can sell records. (Which
is a safe assumption :))
Scott Maccio
He also kind of had a few soundtrack MTV hits during the '80s where also sung
lead vocals. (I suddenly feel like Loyd Bentson.) "This guy is no Andy
Taylor" He sounds nothing like him. Don't you think he would have rather
played guitar on Tony's album (as he did with Belinda Carlysle, Robert Palmer,
and Power Station.) ? Still could have used THE Andy Taylor! And leave the
Micheal Bolton wannabe at home, please.

How much evidence do we want?!? I've posted a question on the Duran
Duran newsgroup to see if anyone can shed any more light.

But the Andy Taylor on Still has a low, gruff voice.
If some people are having a problem accepting that it's the DD Andy
Taylor because of a credibility issue, then are we also going to argue
that it's not THE Nik Kershaw?!

Last thing I heard from him was the little tour he did of England and
Scotland late last year with Luke Morley of Thunder fame.

Ugh, I give up! It is so NOT the Andy Taylor of DD. I don't know how many
times we can all say what we need to prove it. All I'm sayinng is:
1) Listen to Thunder and then listen to Still.
2) Why would Andy have been picked for his singing and NOT his guitar
playing?!?? "Uh, Mr. Van Halen, we'd like you to perform on our record, but
don't play the guitar or anything, we just want you to sing on a few tracks."
Makes no sense at all.

In my performers union (Equity) it is not possible to have the same
*Performing name* as another member. (As long as your dues are paid!! ;') )
Is the musicians union the same?
Would maybe solve the problem?
Or make it worse !!
Yikes!

I've had a response on the Duran Duran newsgroup saying that it is
him.
I've also emailed Fish, who appears on Still, for FURTHER
confirmation. I'll let you know if he responds.

Well, I think he makes a fine job of doing what he does on the album,
so it does make sense. I would like to know how he got to perform on
the album though.
If you're right and it isn't the DD Andy Taylor, who on earth is it?
Keiron
(Isn't this fun?)
Keiron
in Duran Duran (the drummer I think). Now I'm sure I'd have remembered
if that was the same Roger Taylor from Queen...
Are all these Taylors related in some way?
Keiron
Scott Maccio
they're Bowie/Jones. Besides isn't the DD Taylor retired now?
Scott
Who may have to find a way to u/l a track from Thunder to prove that it's not
the same guy.
>Point of Order......
Paul Barrie
drummer for Queen.
Paul Barrie
of duran durand are not the same. The queen quy is way older, Queen having
starting in the early Seventies.

As bad as he was, he's still better than Jim Diamond.

I have no idea who he is, I just know it is not Andy Taylor or anyone else who
used to be in DD. It would have been great if it was, but it isn't.
