Queen BBC Radio 1 Interview 1977 Episode 1 (2011 Remaster) (40 Years Of Queen Book)

Queen BBC Radio 1 Interview 1977 Episode 1
Interviewer is DJ Tom Browne.
There are two parts to this interview. The first part was broadcast on December 24, and the second on December 26.
I mixed the interview so it would be into two parts, as the 2012 reprint include the interview as one whole part.

Freddie is so proud of Brian's astronomy "tell him about your zodiacal light"....such a sweet heart Freddie was.

John Richard Deacon (Leicester, Inglaterra; 19 de agosto de 1951) es un músico y compositor británico retirado, conocido por haber sido el bajista del grupo musical de rock Queen. En varios álbumes también desempeñó el papel de guitarrista y más ocasionalmente de teclista. Es el autor de algunos de los grandes éxitos de la banda, tales como «You're My Best Friend», «Spread Your Wings», «Another One Bites the Dust», «I Want to Break Free» o «Friends Will Be Friends», lo que demuestra su importante aporte al grupo en materia creativa.

[@Lapofthegods]

[@martinkulkarni3569]

John was never very rock and roll, hence his taste in music and the later black soul ideas he and Freddie ‘introduced’ to the band. Not really Brian and Roger’s bag, but they were a truly democratic band. They fought at times, but they always respected each other ideas.

Oh yes!...I completely agree with you ...she was hanging in there for the payday...she asked Freddie if they could have a baby...wise Freddie said no....when Freddie died , Jim Joe Peter and others asked to have the cats...she didn’t like cats...she said no...the day Freddie died the tomcat left Garden Lodge never to return...there’s a statement for you from a cat......she guilt tripped poor Freddie....it seems a vicious thing to do...getting rid of all Freddie’s belongings...you’re right about having a museum......Kind generous loving Freddie...sleep well ..Our Persian Prince❤

[@darylsdog4990]

When does he call the bass an electric guitar?

[@Nina-oi1qk]

he called it electric piano which is what they called keyboard synthesizers back then.

[@rhapsag]

@@Nina-oi1qk Not quite. Electric piano is an instrument in its own right, which has either strings like a piano or metal 'tines', and magnetic pickups like an electric guitar. Queen did not use a synthesizer until 1980. The only Queen song I can think of with an electric piano is 'You're My Best Friend', which is presumably what the interviewer is referring to.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

@@rhapsag yes thats the song on which Deaky played for YOu're my best friend. I honestly thought that they were pre historic synthesizers.

[@rhapsag]

@@Nina-oi1qk There were synthesizers around before that (e.g. the Moog, as heard on The Beatles' 'Abbey Road' from 1969, or 'Switched on Bach' by Wendy [Walter] Carlos from 1968). They were a maze of wires and controls, with a very small keyboard.

[@oduvan2612]

I once read that Freddie Mercury never commented on his origins and family because he was an illegitimate child of the Lord Luis Mountbatten, sth he wanted to hide from common public. And that he actually spoke with Royal English Accent (not foreign English accent) because he was educated as any member of the Royal Family would be. This type of accent is very rare and only used by a small number of people in the upper class. This also explains his excellent manners and intelligence. Dear British fans could you please tell if you think Freddie indeed spoke with Royal English Accent? Would be very interesting to know.
