Freddie never seem to pay much attention to John on stage?

Not as much to Roger or Brian,but its real interesting ,what do you all think?

Interesting, I noticed also that there's no stage interaction between Brian and John at all. And little interaction between Brian and Freddie.
In comparison with other 80's live rock bands they were ice cold.

I get the feeling he didn't really like much physical contact / pratting about.

he didn't want to make them jealous of each other - esp when he was Roger's bitch

What?????

What I understand (that's what I've noticed anyway) is that John simply didn't like/want to be in the center of attention(Duh?).So whenever Freddie or Brian tried to interact with him he simply preferred to ''escape'' so to speak...You can see on many live videos that as soon as Freddie is around him (Budapest - Tutti Frutti for example) he immediately steps back.Freddie knew about this obviously,hence-the ''lack'' of interaction.But Freddie tried on many occasions...Actually,when I was watching Rainbow,I was amazed how different John was back then.He looked really confident,he interacted with Freddie(like during the encore -Jailhouse Rock),the way he moved on stage,pouting(Liar). Really cool.At some point he decided(?) that he prefers to be less visible I guess.He changed again during the last two tours,in my opinion anyway...

What utter Bollocks

What is?

What a pile of owld crap.

Wembley is, like Rainbow, another exception. John moved, danced, clapped along, 'sang' many songs.

I thought they all interacted with each other; perhaps John and Brian less so because of generally being on opposite sides of the stage, but Freddie seemed to interact with all the others, and John was quite often near Roger; facing him, dancing close to the drum kit (how exactly are you supposed to interact with a drummer besides standing next to them?) It's natural for the lead singer to interact more closely with the lead guitarist if they're swapping and dove-tailing melodic lines, and natural for the bass and drums to feed off each other for the beat... I always thought that Freddie and John had an exceptionally good rapport on stage.

I disagree with this thread. After Freddie John was the most physically active member, Freddie probably paid less attention to Brian to be fair...

John went through a few stages. Early on, he was much more involved; as seen on the rainbow. Moved around, sang more, changed stage positions and sang into Freddie's mic during Liar. From about ADATR until the Hot Space tour his stage presence changed. Took on that uninterested look, very little movement and mainly stood on the drum rise. During the Works and Magic tours he seemed to be a lot more into it and moving around again.

Can't say I agree. Freddie was always the most interactive member, running around, making a fake guitar out of his mic stand, and sometimes rocking next to Brian.

John obviously was generally a little more wooden, but that's his character. If he were a colour, he would be grey with tinges of pink (pink being his flair for writing a few mega-hits). Freddie would be shocking yellow, of course.

John was john at the end of the day, He played bass in a rock group, but he left the limelight for Freddie and Brian.
I think each member of the band just got on what they had to do, concentrating on sounding great.
They all blended in with each other beautifully in my opinions! Freddie & John together in the video for Bo Rhap was great!
