The bass on the Innuendo album is badly mixed, you can barely hear it, especially on Slightly Mad.

"He knew exactly what was going on. He knew that was his last performance, he could barely stand." Roger Taylor commenting on Freddie's last video appearance.
Ride the Wild Wind.
I know this is not exactly what was asked but as it is the only Deacon thread... I think he is a great bass player, however always wanted to know why he so often seen in gigs licking his right hand fingers?
Just a habit.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.

Probably for smoother playing?
^^^^ he used to wax his strings, being mainly a finger style, as opposed to a pick player, maybe this helped produce a smoother less abrasive feel on his finger tips, so yeah he think the finger licking was part of the same thing.
I might just have to say "Bring Back That Leroy Brown". I never thought that'd be the answer to any question that would ever be put to me, but there goes.
Not Plutus but Apollo rules Parnassus
'39 i heard that he played double bass on that one!
Milliionaire Waltz I would pick as well, though this guy does a really good job showing off John's ability to use the whole of the fretboard and come up with some really good and interesting stuff. :)

Mine would be "The Punk And The Godfather" by The Who................. ;-)

Wohoooooo!

This guy is a close friend of mine! He will be happy to be mentioned at Queenzone, gonna show him your post. :P
Tell him he did a great job, but next time tune hiss bass to the song. Sounds off in places. Really nice job on the flageolets though!
