Q15

I agree. It sounds like he is doing quite well with his wife and family. Good for him!

@@danapb John Deacon's wife, Veronica Tetzlaff is NOT his true love.

I agree with you.I also see and read many message people mentioned him in many (elsewhere) comments like disrespect to him. But I think He is graceful in posing after Freddy's departure.

@@user-ze5yx8gp9u John Deacon's wife, Veronica Tetzlaff is NOT his true love.

Exactly!!

True, John said, on record that he didn't want to be in the band anymore because without FREDDIE, theirs no QUEEN. And people need to respect his privacy and give him the respect that is his due!

There's a KZfaq video showing a 'fan' asking John for numerous signatures whilst John is sat in his car. Obviously, the human leech wanted to sell the signatures so he could line his own pocket with money and recorded it to show the signatures were genuine. I agree with you, everyone should leave John alone.....

@@Andy-wx4wx i don't get people...everyone who knows how John feels about his privacy, should do just that! And if they don't know, then they really don't know the band QUEEN! Leave the guy alone people!!

He's right I will never listen to Lambert

What the fuck? John Deacon getting married to a brown eyed woman is like Aishwarya Rai getting married to a blonde haired blue eyed man. 🎭🎨🥁🎸

Yes that’s true

Amen.

John Deacon's wife, Veronica Tetzlaff is NOT his true love.

I'm sure he doesn't miss touring. Now he can travel wherever he wants. Whenever he wants. As long as he wants. Deacy's had a pretty cool life.

AMEN.

well said

I have to agree with Steve. Just from things I've read and keep hearing on KZfaq, there's a definite vibe that says he's one very talented man who's earned a lot of respect. He's also earned a lot of protection from those who love him most, even though they may not totally understand him. Let him have his peace, his privacy, his life. ❤

I am with you. I am if I was in his situation. I would say "Thank you very much". Thinking to myself, I have got a good life. Set up for the rest of my life. Spend time with my family etc. Good on him. I have got nothing but huge amount of RESPECT for him. He can pop round the corner shop or go to his local pub with his good lady wife for Sunday lunch and a pint and leave a quiet life. Do not blame the chap at all.

Agreed

Yes and strong to stand by his own feelings about the loss of his friend.

Sensationalist clickbait reporting.

And applaud him for refusing to play the music without Freddy Mercury. Like the song goes: Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look, but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, the dream is gone I have become comfortably numb

I also agree with you. John, I think, just wants to be left alone!? He never liked the spotlight when he was with Queen, just going by thing I've read about but, yeah, leave the guy alone and let him live out his days with his lovely family!!

@@debbieworthington6151 years I say, Gday

@@debbieworthington6151 i agree with u xx.

@@debbieworthington6151 just like George Harrison

Marilyn Manson completely shaved off his eyebrows because Queen bassist John Deacon married a brown eyed woman instead of a blue eyed or green eyed woman. If John Deacon got married to a blue eyed or green eyed woman, Marilyn Manson would not have shaved off his eyebrows since John Deacon's wife's eye color heavily impacted the eye color that his children have. The reason that John Deacon's dark haired sons have brown eyes is because his wife, Veronica Tetzlaff has brown eyes. I really wished that John Deacon got married to a skinny 6'0" redhead woman with light blue eyes instead of a brown eyed woman so that all of his children would have blue or green eyes since John Deacon has green eyes. 😭😭😭

I can't blame him... Imean I saw live queen+ paul rodgers and I ' m thankful because I could see at least 2 of them (I felt shivers when brian performed love of my life, that gave an idea of what could be a live show with freddie......) but at the same time.....was far way long from being a real queen live show.....

John Deacon didn’t get anywhere near as much recognition as he deserved

@@Zequabtw certainly. He contributed many hit songs and even in the movie I felt he was slightly given a weaker character (I just felt a hint of something during the movie).

@@ShanesQueenSite yeah

Some argue that, whilst Freddie, Taylor & May found success with side projects/solo work he did not and became increasingly disillusioned with the industry. Also, Mick Rock pointed to the Album Hot Space as it was a bit of a failure and Deacon was a driving force on it - it created a lot of tension between Taylor and Deacon because Taylor didn’t like the style and felt pushed out as a lot was based on drum machine work. Mick Rock added that Taylor wrote a lot of the evocative stuff such as “these are the days of our lives” “Winters tale” and others. Even though “Winters Tale” was deliberately written to have minimal drums and highlight Deacon’s bass playing. Deacon was also regularly late to the studio after hot space, meaning he wasn’t joining in the collaborative side. When he made remarks about having kids to look after Taylor said “so do I but I’m never four hours late” Taylor was closest to Freddie as the worked on a market stall to keep money coming in and were very supportive of each other’s work. Also, Deacon never sang a word, he mimed to make it look collaborative which was Taylor’s idea. Deacon didn’t want to do the celebration performance but Taylor organised it. Elton John noted that Deacon smashed his basses up after the show and was shocked by it. Deacon bought 50% of Spearmint Rhino and left the business. During Freddie’s last months Taylor visited at Freddie’s request every two days which Deacon also resented- so he sorted the finances and said goodbye - May noted in 2018 he hadn’t spoken to Deacon since 2006 as Deacon refused to take calls. It’s sad but due to Deacons temperament not a total surprise,

Unquestionably a success story.

Yes, just spended 25 year with a band. The lead figure in the band dies so why continue?

Another one bites the dust was a sample

@@talkswithvigy7860 No it wasn't sampled at all by John Deacon. It was other bands later on sampling the Queen version. The equipment didn't exist in 1979/80 - and the only system that could go close was a Fairlight CMI - and there is no record of Deacon or Queen owning one or having access to the one owned by Peter Gabriel at that time. Even the EMU-Emulator was a year or more after this recording..

​@@tdunster2011 It was inspired by Good Times by Chic

​@@talkswithvigy7860 John also wrote You're My Best Friend.

This is exactly what I wanted to write until I read you had been first to do it. I'd nod very discreetly my respect and gratitude, in a way to not bother the man, let alone ask for anything. This is what I did on meeting Steve Hackett - just told him I owe him so much value he contributed to my life with his music, that's all.

The sad story is everything that happened following John Deacon's departure. His two colleagues in Queen did a good job over the last two decades by ruining the glorious image of the band in various ways. Musicals, movies, crappy singers to replace Freddie and so on. Tastelessness beyond limits. Queen was over with Freddie's death. The tribute concert at Wembley, Made In Heaven album and that final song "No One But You" were relevant as an epitaph, but everything done afterwards is rubbish.

@@alexandergenov i totaly get what u r saying regarding the bands legacy, it was the same with led zep when bonzo sadly passed away the other 3 members said the band was no more. I wasnt a huge queen fan and i know queen fans wont agree with me but i actually thought paul rodgers was a better vocalist than freddie.

@@colingeddes2172 Paul Rodgers is an amazing rock singer though his vocal range is nothing near Freddie’s vocal range, Freddie was the most versatile singer that rock music as ever seen, or heard.

I agree. I can understand not wanting to perform with any of these poseurs in Mercury's shadow. I also find it kind of contrived that they had to replace Mercury with Lambert, another campy gay.

Queen has become a sad story. They all should've had the class to hang it up when Freddie died, a la Led Zeppelin. Sounds like Deaky did it right. He looks happy to me. Having said that, I saw Queen live many times (starting with the Santa Monica Civic show in '75) and Freddie didn't use his famous vocal range live. He was very protective of his voice, and live performances suffered as a result. Hell, I could've sung his stuff live. Pathetic. Even their live L.P., Killer Queen, shows his obvious lack of range on stage. Say what you want about Elton John, but before he developed polyps on his vocal cords, he sang all the high notes LIVE! Elton's '73 Hollywood Bowl concert performance was incredible, including all the high notes from Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. And he's still singing.

agreed I've seen varies Queen concerts on youtube ( best was Live at the bowl 1982 ) and every concert I saw on youtube John really seemed like he was having the best day/s of his life and making the best of that concert my guess is every concert he wanted the same feeling as seeing a band or artist he liked and the excitement of seeing them

Another "fan" who thinks the "best" musicians are the ones who don't play.

@@theaterpup3466 calm down you need to respect that John has retired from music and wants to live a peaceful life now If you didn't know when Freddie had died from Aids it affected John badly and in a way Freddie was like a partner to John and helped him resolve personal issues and with Freddie gone he had lost a very important person and on the music side he thought there was no point in continuing ( aside from a few concerts / songs ) Look as with all musicians out there when you replace a old member ( dead or alive ) you just can't get the same sound from another musician just look at this case: If Brian was unable to perform and had a sessions artist play for him with the red special and his vox amps the new artist still wouldn't sound the same as Brian would The current line up I think is fine but honestly I don't like how Adam sounds as a vocalist though I do suggest you check out " we will rock you ( fast ) / the hero live at the bowl " and the tribute concert those are 2 amazing performances And as someone that also attended the tribute concert I can say it was amazing and I remember that day even though I was rather young

@@And1slash If you want to lecture people on respect, start with the ones who are trashing the band for continuing to play.

@@theaterpup3466 you sure do get defensive over others sharing their thoughts and opinions like why are you acting like this ? everyone has opinions and over time their thoughts about things can change ( media / music / games / musical gear / electronics ) as things improve ( or downgrade ) certain aspects you really shouldn't care if a fan of a band likes a certain era of that band vs the current era even Queen had some albums that were less than great but honestly their best years was mid 70's - early 80's however whatever era you prefer that's cool and you're entitled to like whatever you prefer

Agree. If this is a sad life. Sign me up!!

@@jimhirsch4482 John Deacon's wife, Veronica Tetzlaff is NOT his true love.

wow...what for a blessing having met them in these early days. thanks for sharing this story!

Great story, I saw Queen just once on their ‘Crazy tour’ back in 1979 at Liverpool Empire UK 🇬🇧

He lucky to have met him. Aa a Queen fan please consider seeing the remaining members when they tour again. The music is timeless and Adam Lambert does homage to Freddie and Queen.

It's rad that you met Deacy. I didn't grow up with rock n roll because of religion, but I can say that Queen is my favorite rock band of all time. He's definitely become one of my favorites out the group. He seems like a real sweetheart.

John Deacon was a lovely guy in Queen he never wrestled Freddie or Brian for the limelight he just played and went off stage, such a humble guy.

Yes, I wish to be left alone. (I am John Deacon.)

You're an idiot if you think Adam Lambert is trying to "fill Freddie's shoes" in the band. All sorts of bands go through "eras" and as long as the sound is there and not a direct copy, they do well. I saw them in 2017, and it's idiotic to describe him as "imitating". He sings the songs and does it his own way. Of course he keeps the melodies intact because without at least that, it's not their music. Period, end of story. He's even said in numerous interviews AND live that he's not Freddie and nobody ever will be. It's fun and people still deserve to see Queen live. No doubt Freddie would approve of him, and even John Deacon said that they still had his blessing to continue on. So what's your issue? That people still like them even with the vocalist change? No, he's not Freddie - nobody ever will be, and people who see them now still believe that. Nevertheless, they wrote an insane amount of music and to just let that live in the purgatory of studio recordings, they opted to find an amazing vocalist and go out again. Nothing wrong with that. Goddamn purists. Closed minded idiots, the lot of them.

I totally agree. Nothing against Adam Lambert. He is very talented. But he is not Freddie, so as a fan of the original Queen 4, I wouldn't be interested in seeing them play again either, without John and Freddie. The magic is gone.

Absolutely. Just like there could be no Motorhead without Lemmy or Jethro Tull without Ian Anderson.

I agree, yes he was distraught at Freddie Mercurys sad death but that isn’t to say he isn’t happy now. He looks like he is just trying to live a normal life.

He also has a degree in electrical engineering. I think he built Queens first PA system and equipment, not Brian's guitar, he made it from an old fire place when he was s nipper. I just think the guy should be left alone and do what he wants to do He earned it

Freddy stated many times that the magic of queen was the four of them, so I understand why John had the same sentiments. I don't mind that Roger and Brian want to carry on but people should stop putting John down because he didn't.

you can find someone that plays and sounds similar but you can never replace another musician I respect the choice John made and " modern " Queen just feels a bit off the new bass player just doesn't have that " mojo " John had

100% agree. Queen today are a skeleton of a band that have lost the magic and credibility. Adam Lambert has put the final nail in the Queen coffin now.

@@gedbill4058 I think there can be a little fun still. Brian and Roger are still there, with Adam Lambert, and Adam has already said he isn't there to replace Freddie. That's impossible, he said. But the memories still last and Freddie's spirit is still around us, and I think the tours that have been made until now have been very well done and in my opinion Queen isn't dead yet.

@@13part Queen are a four man British Rock band there needs to be four of them to call them Queen, there is only two of them now so they are not Queen. Adam fetched nothing useful to Queen. He is a bore and has no talent like Freddie had in bucket loads..... May & Taylor are just dragging the Queen issue on and on to make a living but Roger admitted they are not Queen anymore. No new album since Paul Rogers was with them and that was awful. Brian knows an album with Adam would be wrong and annoy at lot of real Queen fans.

@@gedbill4058 Yep, you're totally right. I meant it in like the outro of a song when no other resource is introduced. And yeah, another album is not going to be the right thing. At least, whatever they do, Adam Lambert won't try to be the substitute teacher of Freddie

@@13part To be honest i think this Queen + Adam thing is utter trash, they have achieved nothing since Freddie died 30 years ago and they have not had any hits since Freddie died which says something they are paralysed without Freddie's input.

Plus the other two appear to be attention seeking A holes

@@mandya.8203 I mean I have to say I think Freddie would have been fine with both other singers, its flattering and he was also close with brian and roger. I just see it as they want to keep playing the music they wrote, while one of them feels there is no point without freddie and hes lost interest. each to their own. none of them are wrong in my opinion.

Good point. It is very annoying when four-man bands try to continue with the name ( greedy ) when two or more original members are gone. I'm looking at YOU - "The Who".

I couldn't have said it better myself! I mean, half the band is no longer in the band, for various reasons, and, this is just my opinion ok.. with the guy who's representing Freddie, i do feel some type of way about this? When the band took a break from each other, they used a different name for their band.. I think its time for them to just lose the name QUEEN, And have Adam pick a name, i already know I'm gonna ruffle a few feathers from my opinion, but, its MY OPINION, and i would guess that I'm not the only one who feels this way .... ...

@Macavity AC/DC? I mean have you heard the name Bon Scott

​@@spindriftdrinker To me there's nothing annoying if someone wants to keep going with the one most beloved and fun thing that also keeps generating income. No one is forced to listen to it.

I don't care!
