Telling the truth isn't "bashing" him. You are cold and empty inside if you can't see the sadness in Brian's eyes while he talks about this.
Deacon has only spoken to them through lawyers these last 20 years while still accepting royalty cheques from their hard work to keep the music alive, and they are still this nice to him. Watch The Eagles documentary if you want to see what bashing looks like. Brian and Roger are gentlemen.
Did you know that every time they go on the road, they still invite him to be in the band?
Of course you didn't. Because you're too busy spending hours a day being an internet troll, looking for places to defame three people you've never met. Your drivel is all over YouTube videos too. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so full of hate.
Pot calling the kettle black about bashing people.
Anyway, I was gonna say I'm surprised they even let Felder in on the History of the Eagles documentary, only to be part of the bashfest.
That and I'm surprised that Bri and Rog still invite John out. I suppose they have good intentions, but I think John's heart's just not into it anymore. If anything, he probably stopped playing the bass in over twenty years, which is a drag, losing your love for playing music like that.
To quote Brian: "Further than that, you'll have to ask John. Though I don't think he's in the mood to talk now..."

He was always shy, never looked comfortable being interviewed even in the heady days. Also it is a lot easier to retire from public when you have a shedload of money and not much of an ego to massage.
John owes the public nothing, and the money keeps rolling in. Sounds like a decent life to me. It's a shame if he doesn't feel that way, but we have no way of knowing unless he chooses to speak... which is highly unlikely.

I don't quite know if calling your ex-bandmate a "sociopath" is being a gentleman....That's what ROger Did. And now get your head out of Maylor's arse. Fact is that May has always been jealous of Freddie being the main focus in Queen and he is probably pissed that John does not like what they are doing now and even though he needs to pay him royalties

Maylor deserve every hate because of the harm they did to the Queen name (i do not call it "BRAND" - it is shameful calling it a brand). Maylor have removed themselves from being a class act and have turned into two old money hungry bastards trying to make a quick buck on anything while selling their crap on the back of their deceased lead singer. Freddie would NOT have loved it.

Jesus runner_70 you seem to have serious issues.Nothing you have said in the above post has any relavence to anything.Queen are not a brand,they just happen to be really good at what they do.They are not money hungry,and wanting to make a quick buck,they,probably are the most popular band on the planet right now.You can see that they are really having fun live.All they are doing is making Queens' music availiable to a new audience.Who knows how much longer they are going to be able to perform like this.And I think Freddie would have loved it.

There is no doubt that the Queen PR machine is very powerful and there will be all sorts of legal and contractual arrangements in place to ensure the John Deacon situation is managed in such way as to protect his privacy and ensure limited questions are asked about his absence, and thus limited damage to the brand. How many interviews with Brian and Roger have you heard where a journalist doggedly pursues the John Deacon question? Answer: none. This will be because there are PR arrangements in place pre interview only to mention his name once or twice. Even if he does not speak to Brian and Roger directly, it appears John's children do and I think this is why there is a mental health issue affecting John. Given that John still lives in London it probably takes more effort to avoid Brian and Roger than to speak to them directly. I think Luke's involvement in the film advising Joe Mazello shows his children advocate on his behalf.

I'm not totally convinced that Roger actually knows what a sociopath is because if you read the whole interview in context it's about John being reclusive, which isn't a sociopath.
It's entirely possible Roger used a word he didn't understand to mean a Mental Illness or neurological disorder which John actually has, like a social disability.
I don't know, He could also have been insulting john but in over 20 years they've been respectful towards him and why he quit. Even in the early 90's when Brian was being a dick about made in heaven Roger and John were together. it seems strange that he would throw out an insult in an interview at this point.
that said, it still entirely possible John just drifted away from the others, He saw they were heading in the direction of more live stuff and less studio work and decided it wasn't for him, with no other reason than that.

I don't think in this particular interview that they bashed John, at all. I think they're sad he isn't in the group anymore, but respect his decision, and it seems that John has no desire or will to stop Brian and Roger performing as Queen. John did join the group after they became Queen although there were no releases or recordings at that time, but after all this time that's not really an important point.
I get the impression that Cameron Deacon on his YouTube channel wishes his dad was still involved, but you can't make someone do something.
Roger did use the word sociopath in describing John, which was a bit unfair and quite personal, but that said, I have never met any of them so I don't know if it's accurate or not.

Let us leave John Deacon alone. People are allowed to retire and he may have had personal reasons we don't know about. He probably functioned better in the Queen team with Freddie. The two of them collaborated often and Freddie was very good at encouraging John to write and compose. That doesn't mean the rest were bad people, it is just that artistically John felt a connection with Freddie.
TRUTH.
I know why John Deacon never wanted to be again in Queen because of all we know Queen dead when Freddie sadly passed away.
He only played as Queen two times....in a concert with Roger, and with Elton John.
If you see the credits of Queen Rocks, said No one but you is not Queen, is another story...
John is the only member loyal to Freddie.
Roger was a cunt called him sociopath...and Roger is a liar, very smart and arrogant dude.
Brian is more sensitive person than Roger....and he understands better than anybody why John doesn't be involved in Queen anymore....or Queen+, a fucking joke, with a legend like Paul Rodgers, or a very good entertainment showman, by USA canons, like Adam Lambert.
The remix from Under Pressure, John said yes, but never was in the studio to see what happened. I did an interview with Josuah, and he told me John and David Bowie said ok to release that fuckin horrible remix, nothing more...

I just hope oneday we learn or hear that roger and brian tried to include john in their solo works or help him and didnt just go all armish on him. If your band brother / friend needs help you do everything to help them grieve.even if they lock themselves away you fight for them. And you can see in the footage he wasnt comfortable there, it would not have seemed right and fair enough, if he didnt wanna go on without freddie up front, thats his choice. heck, it could have been worse. severe depression can lead to suicide, so at least hes had many good years with his family and grandkids and thats what counts.

To add to this Roger and Brian are musicians. It's what they do and what they enjoy. They have every right to continue playing in whatever form they desire and it makes them and other people happy. Artists make fuck all from the music these days, they have to tour. I can imagine at their age it's fucken hard work but they love it. Let them enjoy the remainder of their lives doing what they love and people love them doing.
