John is known to frequent Bookseller Crow on the Hill on Westow Street or The Rock Bookstores at Tower Bridge Rd. somewhere on the floor behind the shelves. Middle of the week is best.
Spotted his balding white head a while back, we just smiled at one another and when I went back to the same spot, Poof Gone!
I think he's very skiddish. especially if he may think you've recognized him. LOL!
Cheers,
David

There's nothing wrong with Friends Will Be Friends.
But John isn't that popular among Queen fans. He's still the least favourite.[/QUOTE]
There´s nothing wrong with Pain Is So Close To Pleasure or One Year Of Love, either.
And where did you get the idea that Deaky is the least favorite among all Queen fans?? That is not true at all! For one thing, many people have John Deacon as their favorite band member, and my younger sister is obcessed with him.

Long live John Deacon!! :D
John is definately an awesome guy. And I really respect him for his decision to retire.
Love John. Some people only post negative things ALL THE TIME on this site!!! It's getting tiring. I'm learning whose responses to skip. Been listening alot to Queen II lately. The bass playing is amazing (as well as everything else of course).
John is my favourite by far. He seems the least bit cocky of his fame and fourtune. It would be interesting to meet him. I too also respect his decision to retire. You can't go on forever and it has been said he was the most family orientated queen member, so if he retired to spend more time with his (large) family I can totally see why he did that. He rocks and I find it quite sad a lot of people don't know who he is. He deserves more credit than he gets. John Deacon ROCKS!
P.S - I love the bass solo on 'Dragon Attack' and yes I do know Brian wrote it, I'm just saying the bass solo was great:)

I didn't mean with all Queen fans. But if you added up the total of all the Queen fans in the world's fav member Freddie would have most votes, then Brian, then Rog, then John. That's just the truth. I'm not saying he isn't popular. Nor am I saying I don't like the guy.

Freddie was definitely the best songwriter, Brian a close second. John and Roger just sort of filled in the gaps imho...their songs were more simple, radio-friendly things, but topped off everything else nicely.
This topic started not about songwritting nor who's the best knowing person from the band to non-Queen fans....
For the fans who started to listen Queen's music in 90s - John perhaps is not so important as to whom who have listen Queen in 70s and 80s. New fans just have not many chances to see/hear John in recent years. Some of them can hardly understand that John was important as well as Rog or Bri for the band.
Anyway as I wrote before I respect John for his accepting the thought that Queen is not being anymore.

John is more popular than Roger in the USA.
And John's photo is on wikipedia, Roger's isn't :-P

John is a God - when I was in my second year at uni, my mate and I had a shrine to him. It was great! I'd love to track the guy down and shake his hand for being so damned cool. He also had the world's most awesome afro in 84.
He's definitely my favourite member of queen, closely followed by Freddie with Grumpy and Chunky lagging way way way way back.
