John's involvment with new Album?

I think you guys could save yourselves some mental exhaustion if you just look at John Deacon in the context of a normal dad pushing 60. How many of those guys mouth off in the press or release solo albums?
Ding - basically none of them. Maybe David Gilmour or something. Pfft.
John's just a normal shy person. The only reason he ever gets called 'recluse' or anything is because he doesn't play the rich cunt game of whoring himself out to society. He did a good enough job with 3 or 4 hit singles, and doesn't owe anyone anything anymore.

At the back of my mind is a little voice that says he's absolutely insane for 'throwing it all away', because I'd love to have a bit of money like him and know that I could release shit on toast and people like us would still buy it -
but, to each their own.

It's sort of good that he's retired anyway, I don't want to see how he'd look in Wembley shorts on the new tour.

John Deacon is Syd Barrett

We stopped hearing from John around when Syd died, we never heard John sing with Queen,to hide his true voice, and John is known for seclusion, much like Syd.

I'd say you were onto something, but as far as I know, John never bit anyone who was trying to get rent money off him.

Why do you say that Lisser?

Exactly what I felt, when reading the quotes and comments.

Why he wouldn't want to keep in contact more often with people he spent a good 20-some years with, personally raises a concern to myself, which I'm disturbed about.

I feel also, there is something Brian and Roger are still not telling us about John, but what that could be, I've no clue of course.

Or is it something John hasnt told us about Brian and Roger? They could have been complete twats with him. You never know these things.

Thank you!!! My point exactly. He's just a normal person like you and me, and I respect him for that!

He's a big boy now. He can make his own decisions. If he dosen't want to go on tour, he dosen't have to. Let's face it, it's gotta be hard to tour when your pushing 50, 60, even 70 years old.

That. They could have been real nobs to him during the Made in Heaven recordings.

And he's probably just enjoying family life now. He never really seemed too into the Rock/Celebrity scene. I mean how many interviews did he do? He just did his job to a point he felt was satisfactory, earned a lot of money in the process and just wanted to retire. Even if Brian and Roger weren't assholes to him, maybe it just never crosses his mind to call them.

Well, touring is one thing and calling someone back is another. So ... I say, why not just believe Roger?

I think John made a decission we couldn't imagine. Being in Queen is I think (and Brian said it recently) something that takes over your live. I think being in a band that is larger then live really consumes you. Look to Freddie who died of AIDS, Roger and Brian divorced. And why should John still be in the band. He could retire at an age we all woudl if we could from work. He has his memories and now he has his family. So I think he closed it with No One But You and then made a final appearance with Elton John. And that is a great point to quit. Off course I'm happy that Brian and Roger are still going strong and making new music and off course it is not the Queen I fell for 28 years ago but it's normal they still use the name it wouldnt make sense to change that. They only changed the line up. Well in my company it is very normal to go on with your work and find a replecemant if somebody quits. Just respect John Deacon and remeber the great songs he wrote and his contribution for the band we all love

If I were him I would've walked off stage after playing with Roger Daltrey. Now THAT'S a great time to quit.

I'm really wondering how the bass is going to be on the new album.. would it kill them to get a bass player in? An actual, honest to God, BASS PLAYER?

It's not just Doom da doom da doom. I've played my own bass on everything I've ever recorded, and it's nice, it's lyrical, and solid.... but, I'm not a bass player and I never will be. There's a difference.

Here's hoping they hire one.

I think Freddie was John's in-studio champion. The other two were never really hot on his ideas--Roger disliked (at first) Another One Bites the Dust, Brian disliked his Hot Space tracks--but Freddie believed in John, took up his tracks, and fought for them and worked hard for them like they were his own.

John is not a confrontational or charismatic person and would not fight like that for his own tracks. He was very modest and unarrogant, and I think with Freddie gone, he realizes he wouldn't be able to really get any of his ideas across to the other two, who probably wouldn't be fans of it

I mean, I think there are many reasons why he chooses retirement as opposed to writing new music with Queen. But that's one I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Well said.

Makes one think, does it not?

I will say this though: John has complete charisma...and then some!

:)

Well I believe Brian stated one or more times that they are playing bass themselves so Roger can get his hands on strings again ha ha ha.

I think you're right Zebonla playing with Roger Daltrey and quit then is even a better way then playing with Elthon John in fact I wish John Deacon would become the new bass player of The Who but that band is more active then Queem the last years. I can only hope that the new album is just as good as Enless Wire :-)

By the way if you need a bass player....I'm one :-)

Eh ok I'm kind of confused
Did John do something wrong??
Why are people saying he died and the next he might be on the Queen album??? WTF.

Someone please explain or just message me


Thanks, Appreciate it
