I love this book I love this book. It seems to be brutally honest and not pulling any punches. It's nice to know the truth behind the Duran Duran scenes and not the evasive, sugar coated stuff we were all led to believe in the 80's and since then. It is also interesting to find out how he and the other members actually are and what caused Andy's and Roger's departure from the band. I am currently waiting to read John's book. I hope it is just as enlightening as Andy's book. Very well done, Andy.. "A boldly transparent, honest, and vulnerable account from the "rocking" element of the original band" according to M. Day. This fascinating autobiographical comes from the point of view of the only member of Duran Duran who had marital/familial responsibility from the beginning, was not as caught up in the personal "image" of the band as most of the others, nor did he come from any sort of privileged background. (As a matter of fact he went through a pretty heart-breaking childhood as he describes.) These factors give credibility to trust his account of events and such.Of course, one of the most tantalizing reasons for me (as a guitarist for A boldly transparent, honest, and vulnerable account from the "rocking" element of the original band This fascinating autobiographical comes from the point of view of the only member of Duran Duran who had marital/familial responsibility from the beginning, was not as caught up in the personal "image" of the band as most of the others, nor did he come from any sort of privileged background.

Slightly Shallow, Somewhat entertaining-- Flyinhighagain I was never a fan of Duran Duran, but was very interested in reading this book, because there are so few books out there from this time period. Early MTV, Huge Budget Videos, the New Romantic period in England. I found the book very easy to read (almost too easy), was entertained, and I'm glad I read it. If I had to knock it--There was so little written about the music, and the inner workings of the band. It was a lot more about fame, partying, girls, family lifewhich is great, but maybe just a little about how the music was written, played, recorded would be nice. I don't th
The band rose to conquer the globe with a string of unforgettable hits such as "Rio," "Hungry Like the Wolf," and "The Reflex."

Now Andy shares the story of what went wrong. Moving from hilarious to harrowing at the turn of a page, WILD BOY is a must-read for anyone who lived through the 1980s, or who cares about music.. But Wild Boy is also a moving story on a human level, as Andy describes how the pressures of fame took a terrible personal toll on him and his family. Wild Boy is the explosive first inside account of the rise and fall of Duran Duran. With searing honesty, he charts every moment of Duran Duran's roller-coaster rise
He is clearly aware that the band's materialistic image was a key part of London's transformation in the 1980s into a city where it was a dominant part of popular culture to aspire to be successful. Taylor discusses—sometimes underplays—the band's outrageous drug and alcohol habits—much of which was better covered in MTV's 1999 Behind The Music segment. The frustrating part is that his attempts to put Duran Duran into a wider musical perspective are far too infrequent, and his own story can't quite carry the narrative.
