I love all four of them, but John is, and always will be, a personal favourite of mine. His songs are some of the sweetest and warmest of Queen's collection, not to mention his iconic bassline in almost EVERY Queen song! To add to that, I always think his quiet, yet firm personality is so inspiring-- he may not be in the spotlight, but you can never not notice this bass hero. Mr. John Deacon, if you read this, just know that I really respect and love you!

Besides being incredibly gifted and tasteful as a musician, so intelligent, down to earth, wise and humble as a person. The kind of traits that you could admire in anyone, only amplified by his brilliance and talent... “Illustrious,” as Brian has perfectly described him! So much admiration, God bless you, John! ❤️🙏🏻

What a blessing to have four very different personalities plus extremely talented vocalists and songwriters all in one band. It's easy to see how this could have torn the band apart but instead they worked hard to keep it together with each member having a voice. Well done boys.

We'll never see the likes of them again but I'm glad for Roger and Brian for continuing the band. Why not when the interest is there from both sides, theirs and the public.

[@bluebell3720]

The compromises weren't always easy to reach though! John wouldn't have had you're my best friend or AOBTD if Freddie hadn't supported him and he always encouraged him when the other two weren't keen on his style of music Apparently Roger and Brian fought a lot over singles etc but Freddie was the one who calmed things down and found a compromises (I hate they had Freddie depicted in the film as the difficult one) There were also difficulties over some of Freddie songs having gay overtones So often they weren't on the same page at all (Hot space nearly split them up!) But somehow they got through it But performing they worked Except for Freddie not being able to hear himself on stage half the time!

John’s contributions were lovely and he inspired me to play bass. He definitely made an impression on many Queen fans. Cheers 🥂 to John Deacon 👍🏻😊

[@DirectDemocrat]

Strangely, he did the same to me after I saw Queen in 1974, then in 1976 I went to Hyde Park and heard him play what was then a new beast called a Musicman Stingray....It came across Hyde Park like absolute thunder. It was then that I realised how he was the most important man in the band on live performances....well, him and Roger. In my 20-odd times of seeing Queen they never ever once got it wrong. They were brilliant and nobody sounds like them. These days I have about 12 basses and have played in a few bands myself....all because of him really.

[@kimberlyl.5139]

The Under Pressure Bass Riff Alone.........Bass Players around the World would have won the Lottery to come up with something like that! It doesn’t get Better....as having the Ability to create such Basslines. This gives Deacon a Legendary Status. He is an living Legend of Music.

[@jimbanda]

Then another one bites the dust 💥

[@Brinta3]

David Bowie deserves some credit. John Deacon said that Bowie came up with the riff. Bowie denied this. Over the years there was some confusion over who wrote the riff, until Brian May clarified it: “Deacy began playing, 6 notes the same, then one note a fourth down”. After the dinner break, Bowie changed Deacon’s memory of the riff to “Ding-Ding-Ding Diddle Ing-Ding. Bowie changed one eight note into a sixteenth note, which made all the difference.

We lost Freddie and John, Rog and Brian are out flying the flag, it took John a long time to get over his friend. As much as I miss him, I want him to be happy far more.

I don't think anybody talks a lot about the bass guitar player I was happy to hear you mention him and each one of these is a part of the group Queen and to me they are the greatest rock band they're the greatest and yes I won't miss Freddie Mercury everyday I miss him I just can't do it at least once on the day on my phone thank you for the info they just happened to have the best front man Freddie Mercury
