Mr John Deacon

The only thing that has puzzled me about John all these years, was that he built a home studio, where its said he's remixed some of Freddie's stuff, but what else has he been doing in there all these years, when you are a pro musician you don't just put your instrument down and never play it again !

HES GONE MAD,How can anyone watch somebody else play in your band and play your riffs and get the credit,Wouldnt be surprised if some people at the concert thought Neil Fairclough was John Deacon

brenski, what the f are you talking about? Stalking comments? you are insane. Legends don't dissappear into obscurity. But like I just mentioned, I guess he is a nobody in today's terms.[/QUOTE]

You've evidently never heard of J.D. Salinger or Ambrose Bierce. You also have no respect for a human being's right to run his own life.

I don't agree with that statement. It's the same when you see people regularly, you don't notice them ageing; it happens with your parents, your kids, your friends etc. If I'd only seen my mum 3 times in 20 years then I'd say 'oh my god you've gone grey/wrinkly/hunched' etc, but because I see her regularly then I don't really notice the gradual ageing process.

The same applies with John - if we'd seen him regularly then the balding, and the lines on the face would be features we gradually became used to and wouldn't see as a massive thing; equally, if we hadn't seen Brian and Roger for 20 years we'd now be saying 'look at the state of them'.

Some would even argue he has aged more "gracefully" than the other two as he isn't still parading around the world wearing sunglasses, doing guest slots in musicals etc!!!

Or wearing gold lame angel wings !!!!

I guess you just don't know the difference between a fan and a stalker.

You may have wrongly interpreted that line. I myself never understood how angels with gold wings could be lame. Perhaps the gold was too heavy?

I guess you could be right CMS! I mean you are definitely right about the shock people would have if they only saw someone every 5 to 10 years or so. Although a lack of hair certainly makes people look a lot older in general I think. Along with things like greying hair, wrinkles and and I reckon that gaining weight generally adds to the impression of ageing too!

Well that is interesing andyb! I wonder if we are going to be the beneficiaries of some of his hard work on Freddie's stuff in December? Made in Heaven might well have been a motivator for him to ditch Robbie Williams and Co and focus on making the most of what was left of Freddie's materal maybe? Hope so!

I don't think what the OP said is necessarily stalkerish. I understand what they are trying to say, John obviously goes to the shop to buy bread or goes to dinner on occasions.

It is strange that no one has ever taken pictures of him (Then again maybe they do because I've seen that one of him at a wedding).

Yes, that's the one I've seen! Guess he couldn't realistically avoid that one.

Sorry! Dont know why this has multi-posted! Mind you, it seems harder for me to even enter a keystroke these days!
