John Deacon at Knebworth

Still hard to believe, but that makes slightly more sense, i was really struggling with the mental image of John bashing the life out of his lovely, lovely bass!  The video clip is fairly distant, so it's hard to see what exactly is happening.

maybe this helps

Thanks Mercury 90... I'm not able to access it though, I found queenconcerts.com, but not sure what I'm looking for and cant access this link.  Any idea what the photo is called so i can search for it?  If its of John throwing the bass I really want to see it, because its really not the way I think of him! :)

Thanks Falmark!  I was actually able to get it - I was feeling a bit jinxed for a while, I seem to have trouble getting links sometimes.  Wow, what a website!  Someone did an incredible amount of work getting everything together, its brilliant.

I saw the clip from  the show at Knebworth were John Deacon Destroys His Bass Guitar; anynone know why he did it i mean he does not seem like the guy that goes around destroying instruments.

Link please, I've heard many rumours about this but I can't find it

It´s on the Magic years VHS documentary part 3. End of Champions/good save the queen. He runs off and can clearly be seen hurling his bass, hopefully not at a poor and unsuspecting Ratty.

I was at this gig and remember it well but I didn't see John throw his bass at the time and as a bass player I did watch John quite a lot.

What I do remember was all his guitars falling over at some point. This may have been because he threw a guitar at them as shown in the video, but to be honest I thought it was earlier in the show when the guitars fell over(Hey, it was over 20 years ago).

Maybe it was earlier and maybe the guitar he threw was one of those that fell and subsequently wasn't working properly or something. I remember that there was a delay whilst the Roadies picked up the guitars and put them back on their stands.

Anyway, that is all I can add to this.....Must admit though, I am curious about it now.

Man,, john staied nervous!!!!! May be he try to be like roger,,, when stay nervous,, break the drumms and everthing!!!!!!!!! Anyone watched a video who a person  pitch a object in john????? I think it was a Banana
