Freddie's flashiest moments=wearing skin tight leotards and playing air guitar on his microphone while being given a piggyback by a guy dressed as Darth Vadar.
John's flashiest moments=bouncing up and down a little bit
And yet somehow I find John's moments much more entertaining :D
Now on to seriousness, John is the man! he's my personal favorite of the 4. His awesome bass playing, his awesome songs he made, and DAT HAIR! John retired long ago but he's still remembered by me and all of his fans. He inspired me to try to play bass, though Ill NEVER be as good as him, in fact NO one will. Long Live Deacon!
On Dragon Attack live it's more obvious Deaky's in the drivers seat, allowing Freddie and Brian to stick their heads outta window like purebreds gone crazy:P John's not about virtuosity like lead bass of Pagliari, Sheehan, more the feelings in fingers & where he should live in the songs. Each note he plays has delicious melodic beauty and almost feels secretive and sacred, quiet powers of Haiku LOL. Maybe explains his hardcore following in Japan:P "In Praise of Shadows" anyone?
The infamous Deacon audible vocals on Liar. I thought he would have sounded like Barney from the Simpsons the way the legend has been built up over the years over his bad vocals. He sounded OK, very flat and obviously not on a par with the rest of the band.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fucking little catholic wanker i hate john deacon oim starting a facebook campaign reg this wanker,we hate u u plonker u got lucky cus of freddie mercury or u would of been a priest/school teacher thats what u deserved u plonker arrogant little rat u ungratefull twat i hate u u dont deserve those millions u made and are making sitting on ur ass we hate u we hate u
@amr7037 lol u mad bro. If he wasnt in Queen he wouldve been an electrician, but instead he joined Queen to become the best bass player this world has ever seen. He's rich, he's had his nice life. Dont worry, you wont have any sort of good life like him. Uhhh blocked and I hope you go burn in fire. Kbai
He is so AWESOME!!! He is also one of the most underrated bass players of all time! Plus a great songwriter: You're My Best Friend, Another One Bites the Dust, I Want to Break Free, and he also co-wrote Friends Will Be Friends with Freddie Mercury. I also loved to watch him on dvd both during the music videos and in concert...He was great! Love you John!
I wish that Deaky would find the strength and courage to appear at least once during this 40th year of Queen's formation. I understand his desire to withdraw, but in honor of all his accomplishments and those of the band, and maybe most importantly, in honor of Freddie, I hope he shows his face to the fans sometime this year, even if he doesn't play.
There's one, I think it's "I'm in Love with My Car", where John is soooo obviously into the music. It's all the more special because neither he (or Roger IMO) ever got enough camera time and then there they are, both digging on one of the best Queen songs ever with no Brian or Freddie in sight. Miss you, John, but glad you recognize that Queen is four people, not three or two or one.
gotta love John jumping around :) he's such a sweetheart! John, please, come back, wherever you are, we miss your awesome bass rifs.. why God didn't save the Queen?
John is such an awesome bassist. I love that he stood ground and refused to play with Paul Rogers or Rodgers or Stupid...spell it how you want. I love Queen...and Freddie. There's a place for all 4 of these amazing musicians...and John is right up there with his bass rifts. Love him! Where is he now?
John deacon is the best bass player ever!!! It is a shame that he i so underrated, no list for the bass players I find have him!!! He should definitely be regarded as one of the best
Deaky was the unsung hero of Queen. If you could eliminate Deaky's bass from any of their songs you would realize how important he was to Queen. Bass player are the core of any good group.
@kageees2276 Hell yeah! His bass is integral to the Queen sound! Plus, him and Roger together made such a strong foundation of sound to build from, as Brian said!
@blondii14 XD It make him even cuter if he doesn't realize he's cute XD I mean, Freddie knows he's sexy, and we all agree, but Brian has no idea he's adorable and that makes us love him even more XD Same for Deaky!
Deacon, one of the smartest and clever bass player ever. He understand perfectly what is rock and roll and how the bass can shine and make a song better.
@flakko86 If you stay in your place and do what you must to do with no imposing yourself, it means that you do nothing? Some of the best hits was written by John Deacon, if you don't know that. He's a great musician and man. And if you claim that he had done nothing you are completely stupid!
Another disgrace is the fact that people think that Freddie wrote music for himself. YEAH, YOU HEARD ME!! All you people who diss on Paul are disgracing him more than you think Paul is. I'd rather see queen continue (I'm sure Freddie as a musician would agree) and introduce their music to a new audience then just stop because Freddie died. Brian, Rodger and Paul have guts for continuing. Queen wasn't just Freddie's music it was just as much Brian's, Rodger's and John's, so get over it...
he rarely talked in interviews or on the stage (usually the one who narrated the whole concert were freddie and brian, but even then, roger still talked more than him) and even if he talked he only said a few words before the other member took over. He was not that confident of his singing voice either, so you rarely found him singing as backing vocals together with brian and roger. But on stage, he was always smiling and bobbing his head, walking around in small circle and such. Cute, huh? :D
errr.... yeah, if you say it like that.... lol.... i was just talkin abt his everyday impression to me... well I think mainly coz I'm a freak and I watch at least one of the concert video once a day :)
@kamubegoakujuga The only Queen DVD I've got where you see him talking is 'the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert'.. that was a shock when I first saw/heard that I can tell you
this does make you think... what would a queen song BE without john deacon? well firstly, the fact that, according to brian may, john had the most input in the writing of each song, which means that the songs would have been nowhere near as good. And secondly, when brian's playing a huge solo, john is keeping the song afloat with his almost unoticable and yet vital play. COME BACK DEAKY!
@queenmercury1991 Not to mention that he was the one who was in charge of the finances, which I think was a huge relief for the other members. (finances in the music business is one hell of a hard work, and a lot of stress) Beside, he created the Deacy Amp. Which means that without him, Brian May's legendary guitar sound wouldn't be what it is.
There is no "weak link" in Queen, it was really 4 equal persons who worked as a whole to create something unique. That's what I love about them.
@Canaveral305 Yes, I agree 100% with what you wrote. Queen were struggling financially with their first manager. Queen, IMO, are one of the world's greatest bands, ever.
@Canaveral305 i totaly agrre that queen is 4 equally amazing artist, but the main reason brian's guitar sounds different is because he and his dad made it themselves.
@nerdflanders8710 Yeah ....I agree with you Deacon was a mister anyone with the most incredible bass lines that rock could have... He also took care of all of Queens legal aspects...and couldn't pay too much attention on the vocals...That why he seldom sang... But created incredible songs such as Fight from the inside !! (I think)
@nerdflanders8710 I agree with you. He's shy and unassuming. But because of that, he's not as well known or respected among bass players as he should be. He clearly deserves it.
John Deacon is so TALENTED! I wish I could know what he was up to! I just want to see him live, playing the hell out of his bass guitar! I wonder if he just picks it up and just jams sometimes...
Hey, did you know if you hummed the bass line to AOBTD during CPR, the victim has a better chance of survival? NO LIE!
AAAANNNNDDDD Ok, am I the ONLY one who DIED, went to heaven, and came back down when he licked his fingers at 1:11 ?! Cause surely I'm not the only one! Deaky was so cute!
@Robin360 don't you think that it's a little bit ironic that you have to hum Another One Bites The Dust in order to try and save someone's life? just saying xp
Deacon is extremely underrated. He was the sane one of the group who kept everything going. He was a VERY good song writer. He was also musically talented being able to play many different instruments. To this day, even though he retired from performing, he is still active in the business behind queen.
i personally think that he wanted to retire after Freddie Mercury died because there;s no point in continuing Queen without the greatest showman. John Deacon once said that Freddie can never be replaced (this is after May and Taylor asked Robbie Williams and George Michael to replace Freddie). I still think John Deacon is the best.
John has been negleted alot. If you pay attention to all Queen Videos you barely get to see John Playing. It was all about Freddie, Brian and Roger. To be honest with if I was John that would have pissed me off. No wonder he doesn't wanna know about it anymore. I personally don't blame him. He is a fantastic player and he has put a lot of effort just like the rest of the band. Go Johnny Boy GOOOO!!!
John Deacon was not neglected he was chosen as bassist of the band queen because of his quiet demeanour, musical talent and electrical skills, since the band's last bassist before John drew attention away from Freddie Mercury. His bass parts are like little stories, yet he never gets in anyone's way. that's what i got from Wikipedia... :) i think he's the best. Queen forever....
I LOL's So har when he did that 360 degree turn on one leg!

this does make you think... what would a queen song BE without john deacon? well firstly, the fact that, according to brian may, john had the most input in the writing of each song, which means that the songs would have been nowhere near as good. And secondly, when brian's playing a huge solo, john is keeping the song afloat with his almost unoticable and yet vital play. COME BACK DEAKY!

@queenmercury1991 Not to mention that he was the one who was in charge of the finances, which I think was a huge relief for the other members. (finances in the music business is one hell of a hard work, and a lot of stress) Beside, he created the Deacy Amp. Which means that without him, Brian May's legendary guitar sound wouldn't be what it is.
There is no "weak link" in Queen, it was really 4 equal persons who worked as a whole to create something unique. That's what I love about them.

@Canaveral305 Yes, I agree 100% with what you wrote. Queen were struggling financially with their first manager. Queen, IMO, are one of the world's greatest bands, ever.

@Canaveral305 i totaly agrre that queen is 4 equally amazing artist, but the main reason brian's guitar sounds different is because he and his dad made it themselves.

@nerdflanders8710 Yeah ....I agree with you Deacon was a mister anyone with the most incredible bass lines that rock could have... He also took care of all of Queens legal aspects...and couldn't pay too much attention on the vocals...That why he seldom sang... But created incredible songs such as Fight from the inside !! (I think)

@nerdflanders8710 I agree with you. He's shy and unassuming. But because of that, he's not as well known or respected among bass players as he should be. He clearly deserves it.

John Deacon is so TALENTED! I wish I could know what he was up to! I just want to see him live, playing the hell out of his bass guitar! I wonder if he just picks it up and just jams sometimes...
Hey, did you know if you hummed the bass line to AOBTD during CPR, the victim has a better chance of survival? NO LIE!
AAAANNNNDDDD Ok, am I the ONLY one who DIED, went to heaven, and came back down when he licked his fingers at 1:11 ?! Cause surely I'm not the only one! Deaky was so cute!

@Robin360 don't you think that it's a little bit ironic that you have to hum Another One Bites The Dust in order to try and save someone's life? just saying xp

@Robin360 Nope, you're not the only one who felt that way at 1:11 :D and.....yes, you're right, he was really cute *.*

Deacon is extremely underrated. He was the sane one of the group who kept everything going. He was a VERY good song writer. He was also musically talented being able to play many different instruments. To this day, even though he retired from performing, he is still active in the business behind queen.

i personally think that he wanted to retire after Freddie Mercury died because there;s no point in continuing Queen without the greatest showman. John Deacon once said that Freddie can never be replaced (this is after May and Taylor asked Robbie Williams and George Michael to replace Freddie). I still think John Deacon is the best.

John has been negleted alot. If you pay attention to all Queen Videos you barely get to see John Playing. It was all about Freddie, Brian and Roger. To be honest with if I was John that would have pissed me off. No wonder he doesn't wanna know about it anymore. I personally don't blame him. He is a fantastic player and he has put a lot of effort just like the rest of the band. Go Johnny Boy GOOOO!!!

John Deacon was not neglected he was chosen as bassist of the band queen because of his quiet demeanour, musical talent and electrical skills, since the band's last bassist before John drew attention away from Freddie Mercury. His bass parts are like little stories, yet he never gets in anyone's way. that's what i got from Wikipedia... :) i think he's the best. Queen forever....

I appreciate what you say but it has nothing to do with what I commented on. Watch the Live videos and you see what I mean. I have got them all.

Aww, I wish I could just hug him.He did contribute a lot to Queen though. He's an awesome song writer and a fantastic player. <3
