Going to see one of my all time favorite bands tonight!! And no, they aren't Korean!
Also, did you know -
Hideki Kamiya, director of the hit video game,
Devil May Cry in 2005 revealed that he chose
John Taylor as the model for the game's main character,
Dante. Hideki carefully chose a rock star prototype possessing sex appeal, style and charisma to provide the necessary impetus into building this mighty character. Elements of power and mystery would balance out this character. During the interview, Hideki Kamiya commented that one of his teen band idols growing up was the famous 80s English band, Duran Duran. One of its members, bassist
John Taylor, fit the bill as the model for Dante.Dante's character also mirrored
John Taylor’s looks with his long, rocker hairstyle and mannerisms. The design of Dante’s face was inspired by John Taylor’s. And one can see that the faces are identically the same. Interestingly, John Taylor’s rocker fashion sense contributed to Dante’s signature long length, blood-red coat flanked by dark undertones and dark accessories.
