Relationship between John Deacon and Brian May

All fanwankers need to understand the simple concept of correlation =/= causation.

John played bass on some of Brian's solo tracks[/QUOTE]

Some? To my knowledge, he was only on Nothing But Blue, or is there something I'm forgetting about?

I wonder where does BM and RG and JD stand on Jesus? perhaps JC is a friction point; other than that it could be the badgers.

It's either Jesus or the badgers? (lol......what a strange sentence)

I don't think any member of Queen's ever said anything about their religious views, so I'd say thats nothing but speculation........

Roger did - he said he hated religion.

So no, it's not ALL speculation.

I dunno about personalities. But as long as they had fakers. .. Brian and John should have produced an album by jellyfish and continued their careers as performers.

Roger had been persistent as a writer until this last boring album (full of previously released stuff)

People who write songs with acoustic pianos and guitars are almost always better songwriters.


As for the severance. It's fair to say that the arrangements John and Roger had done didn't have the structural "queen guitar sound" that the band was known for. ... How could it have?



Still m.. I'd love to hear that. Stopping short of selling my left ball.

They were professionals.

I'm certain at this point John fed into the fear of AIDS and now regrets the time he DIDN'T spend with Freddie. Probably thought he'd die away and drank his time off trying to FORGET Freddie's illness and misery.


But that is all speculation.

John and Brian. .. that's a helluva story. NOBODY has the answers about that but John and Roger.

Brian has recently said that seeing Q+ AL is just as good as Freddie.


He is either trying to extol the arrangement beyond rationality or pretty much insane

Hm..........did Brian and/or John ever say anything about it?

Like I said before, Brian seems to be the kind of guy that wouldn't let opposing religious views get in the way of a working relationship.........just my guess. tho......

They probably said loads of things, just not in public, or I haven't read them yet (remember that I'm still completely unaware of 99.99% of what they've said and done).

John's wife's Catholic, so I can suppose/infer (as opposed to 'know for certain') he at the very least respects religious views.

I feel like they were rivals. They barely did interviews together & they never interacted on stage.
At least fake it for the crowd!
I mean, Flea from RHCP said that he used to be intimated when playing with guitarist John Frusciante, because he thought that Frusciante was more musically inclined than him.

I'm used to hear this:

John-Freddie | Brian-Roger

Also

John-Freddie > Freddie-Roger > Roger-Brian

And Freddie-Brian in his last times.

Depends in the time, really.

Maybe he is referring to the Anita Dobson tracks - I Dream Of Christmas and Silly Christmas?
