The accompanying music video featured a cameo by John Taylor coming out of a closet with a contract to sign. In July 1986, Arcadia ( Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor and Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran) released " The Flame", the final single from So Red The Rose. He later countersued to claim some of the royalties from that album. Eventually Duran Duran sued Taylor to force him in to the studio to complete the album Notorious, but he ended up playing on only a few tracks before departing the band completely. This caused ex-Missing Persons guitarist Warren Cuccurullo to approach Duran Duran to fill Andy's position - a vacancy no one in Duran Duran knew existed. Another Capitol Records group, Missing Persons was disbanding at the same time, and Andy hired Terry Bozzio and Patrick O'Hearn to work with him. The resulting album, Riptide proved to be a massive success for Palmer with the single " Addicted To Love" featuring the guitar sound of Andy Taylor.Īfter The Power Station, Taylor allowed Duran Duran to believe he would be returning to record a new album, even as he was signing contracts for a solo career in Los Angeles. Taylor would later rejoin The Power Station band mates Palmer and Thompson for Palmer's first solo album since the band's formation. The band had three hit singles and played the Live Aid concert in 1985. During a hiatus in Duran Duran's schedule, he joined forces with bassist John Taylor, Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and singer Robert Palmer to create The Power Station. He grew dissatisfied with the band's keyboard-heavy synth pop, however, and longed to stretch out his rock muscles. Taylor joined Duran Duran in 1980 (easily the most experienced musician in the band), and enjoyed their crazy rise to fame over the next five years.
