Ya know, with john turning into this mystical figure it kinda is more interesting, on one side I'd like to see something..anything..but on the other I sort of don't..i wonder what you'd say if you bumped into him..bit of a elephant in the room not to bring up queen and the disappearing act (he must get asked!), I think he would be polite about it..perhaps modest..I suspect you wouldn't realise it was him.
As for being a recluse..yeh right..one of the richest men in the UK why does he care! I'd be exactly the same way..sod the world I'm going to enjoy my money (thou I get the feeling he's modest here too)
Anyway..might bump into him one day he doesn't live all that far from me and I'll report back! (This is a joke..I'd never impose myself on him..the rock star john deacon and the man are two different things..he wants privacy..the rock star bit went when Freddie went I guess)
Someone on here mentioned once that even his kids are bewildered by his choice to stay away from Queen. It's not only that he's staying away from Queen, but that he gives no word to his fans either. He never writes to the fan club, never appears in interviews, never goes to award ceremonies where he is being honoured, and it would seem no longer takes part in the business side of Queen.
It's totally his choice but it would be nice if he could give us all a wave some time and say 'thanks for buying the music that I wrote', as we say 'thanks for giving us that awesome music and being an amazing musician'
Anyway I should leave it. It is what it is, and it's up to him what he does.
I know this is an old thread....but..... I saw an interview somewhere , sometime after Freddie's passing.
Roger was talking of his future plans and said that He and John were going to work together . He seemed
pretty peeved with Brian and more or less said he (Brian) can do what the hell he likes, either join them or not.
This makes sense as Roger and John got on well together and spent time together outside work.
Brian was pushing on with The Brian May Band.....hint in the name of Bri's ego........which didn't do that well.
My GUESS is that once Brian joined in , things took a different turn and John decided to leave em to it.
In a four piece there are many permutations but in a threesome it's going to be 2:1... Tricky.
I expect too that he had quite a lot to say to them both tho...hence the bad feeling....
Would give anything to see/ him play ....
My house, my wife....frankly .......could get by without em.....both give me nothing but grief.......whereas watching deaky play......pure joy....
Living with no house to stay in can't be too much fun. Ask someone homeless. And it's easy to take a wife for granted until she is gone.
Sorry pal....I work hard...can always rent a house.....don't take her indoors for granted...other way round...I give her everything ,she gives me grief.....
