Queen: Behind The Hits - John Deacon (Episode 16)
/ queenofficial - Hudba
I happened to meet John Deacon in Tokyo in 1981 Feb, we talked and shook hands, and he was ALWAYS smiling! Such a nice and beautiful person!
アリガトウ Thank you John.
WOWWW YOU’RE FOREVER LUCKY
すごくいい思い出ですね😊
うらやまし~😆😆
Lucky you 💖
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'd like to meet a "queen member"...and if is John Deacon I will be happy...because he is a great musician...tranquil person... rock star but expecially family man...I know.
Probably ,in the group, the most gentleman...
I base on what I watch in my long queen fan life.
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!
They forgot “Back Chat”. I love that song!
John was my inspiration for playing the bass. Wasn’t as good, mind ya
Yes ❤️
@@camillazapolsky8940
My favorite from Hot Space
John Deacon is NOT shy. In fact, John Deacon is the opposite of shy.
So wonderful to see Mr. Deacon highlighted this week. I know he's a very private person,but,if by chance he reads this, I wish him health, peace and happiness. Mr. John Deacon...we love you!
This ⬆️ ❤️
Yes yes yes!!! 💜💕☮
Bless him ... yes a truly amazing person and respect him for what he did and stood by... 🙏
@@AB-zc8ps couldn’t agree more. I admire his dignity.
Yes this is an underrated comment
John's contribution to the band was simply immense. Almost immesurable really.
Even if he only ever wrote I Want to Break Free and Another One Bites the Dust he would still be a legendary member
🎷🎸
@@windowlickerch.4241 His two worst songs
@@samdeninno1951 Вот это ты от всей души испортил воздух! Ты просто вонючка!
… and i had no idea he was so multi-talented…. Was blown away by Misfire… HIS composition and he did the guitar solo!
Each surviving member spoke a few words at the Mercury tribute concert. Deacon, that member whose name is often forgotten by most, got the most thunderous applause when he took the mic.
Dear John Deacon, I love you.
John isnt only solid but his bass runs are amazing.
Hes quick and precious and holds it down.
John Deacon is a legend 💗
Todos lo serán!!
@@pili6296 si
Aunque el primero obviamente es Freddie👑 el lo dijo y lo ha sido y será para siempre.🎇🎶🎵🎙💜
i love my deaky
Deacy my love ❤🇲🇽❤
Spread Your Wings...
... One of my top 10 Queen songs easily.
"Hello my name is John Richard Deacon, I was born in August 19 of 1951" he's so cute😭💗
Ikr 🤧
*He's
thats the proof how genuine he is
Being coolest in his own ways.
He’s adorable ❤️
Freddie mercury and John deacon the Best in the world
we love John and we respect his privacy
Yes! He's the best.
Como amo a John carajo
John Deacon rules. He is amazing!
John Deacon is the very best of all extraordinary musicians, in my humble opinion. 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! ❤️🙏🏻
If he got a vocal talent he can be someone like Queen version of Dave Grohl, person who can record album without any musicians.
John wants to be a private person now but I hope that when he thinks back to his years with Queen, he is proud of his accomplishments!
He always was really. Hated the limelight.
He was a genius ♥️
Well, any artists has respective aesthetics. I understand if John Deacon is thinking that Queen without Freddy is not real.
John Deacon is NOT shy. In fact, John Deacon is the opposite of shy.
@@martinkulkarni3569 John Deacon is NOT shy. In fact, John Deacon is the opposite of shy.
John is amazing
Deacy on the piano is something that you wouldn't see everyday
Yap
Everyone is multi instrumentalist. I saw Freddy play guitars aside from piano
@@normatible9795Its funny that Freddie wrote Crazy little thing in a bathtub with a guitar
Would have been nice for them to mention that john wrote best friend as he was teaching himself to play piano
@@normatible9795 And all four members are songwriters
Friends will be friends.... 🌸🌸❤️
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that John Deacon made our day better:
i was JUST thinking that he literally brought a grin to my face as soon as i saw him
Stop being right!
Even though I heard Crazy Little Thing Called Love instead of You're My Best Friend on the radio today, you're still right
PBass Maestro.. still inspiring many to play the four string..
Agree. He is adorable. That grin 😍😍😍😍
John is a legend🤟💪
I have the utmost respect for John, and his deep enduring love, and respect, that he has for Freddie. Like Mary, he has been dignified in his behaviour since Freddie left us. I sincerely hope that he has had a good life since his retirement, and that he knows how much he is admired and loved. Take care John.
YEAHHHHH🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 John Deacon😊
John Deacon. The strong, silent, talented type.👍
Deacky is a monster on the bass
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.
4 very intelligent musicians with a lot of vision and technological competence (especially John and Brian technically. )
@@davidbaker8483 Yes, they were also extremely intelligent and great visionaries too. I also subscribe to Brian's CZcams Channel as I find him fascinating. 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.
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 Deacon's work on that bass of his is a cornerstone of so many songs today. That man is a genius for so many reasons. Even though I would love to see him today, I am so happy that he is enjoying every minute of life with his family. Thanks for all you gave us, John!
Deacon is one of my favorite musicians of all time. But he is not a musical genius. Every pop star you love is not a genius. Mozart was a musical genius. The only genius I know of in rock is Brian May. And its in astrophysics. Peace.
John Deacon's wife, Veronica Tetzlaff is NOT his true love.
@@rman52 Kanye is a musical genius also but far from a human genius
@@renegaderaiderlover Kanye isn't even a musician. Let alone a musical genius. He is however a terrific studio engineer and producer.
“You And I ” such a brilliant song! “Need Your Loving Tonight” fantastic too!
Yes some of my favorites!!💗
I missed Back Chat, an overlooked song, great bassriff
they make me think of one girl 😭😭 but i still love those songs 😂
Shira Betty - Two of my favorite songs!
Spread Your Wings is one of my very favourites songs of my favourite group since 1973!
He is my favorite person in the band, he’s really down to earth and good person who really cares about his family, what a sweet man at that time, he seems like not that kind of person who plays rock music, but he does, that’s why his personality attracts me so much.
Gracias John Deacon ❤️🤩
Thanks for the amazing music John Deacon.
John Deacon, you are legend!❤
"Queen"- legend😍🎸❤
John Richard Deacon. THE businessman for the band and still is.
So thrilled that you are featuring John Deacon, the greatest bass player and also fantastic song writer! Happy 70th birthday John,
I play your songs all the time. My best wishes to you for a wonderful birthday and many more to come!
Hi there
Thanks for your love and support that has brought me this far, it has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times. I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you’ve done for me throughout the years.
It’s a season of love😍❤️❤️ for me and so I decided to put a smile on the faces of my fans by going through my CZcams channel and checking out on my fans, so I can get to communicate with my fans better through discussion of depth and humor listening to o and criticism of my career.💞💞🙏
“Who Needs You” the acoustic demo version is HEAVENLY!
Love that song to bits!
Who needs you and you and I are sooo fab
Yes🥰🥰🥰
My favourite
Always loved that song--my favorite version!
You’re still remembered, Deacy! ❤️
John !!!! Thank you for the incredible work you gave us !!!
The secret weapon !
I love Spread your wings
A great and friendly bassist. One of the best bassist minds as well, with the invention of the Deacy Amp. Such a simple thing that so many companies are still trying to copy.
I respect him for retiring after Freddie's death, but man Deacy, you are missed buddy.
Would have been nice for them to mention that
Big part of the Queen sound
You're My Best Friend, masterpiece of legend. I love you Deacy 💗
You're My Best Friend is my favourite Queen song! One of many but I was young and impressionable when this one came out and it stuck. It is a masterpiece of a song.
John is my favorite 👑
He seems like such a gentle & kind fella. Thank you John Deacon for all your ABSOLUTELY EPIC songs!
We had the quiet Beatle, Harrison, and we have our quiet Queen.
Long Live Deacy!
Your my best Friend" can still make me cry... such a beautiful song about friendship... John was a Killers bassist and song writer...🙏
it is about his wife
Deaky.............
I love you ❤❤❤
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 👍🏻😊
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.
@@DirectDemocrat he is such a lyrical and melodic bass player. He is definitely an inspiration to me 😊. I am in Canada and have never seen him live as you did. It must have been a great time.
Same here, he inspired me on playing bass, his melodical compositions are so good!
deaky is not just a dancing deaky not cute deaky he is a genius deaky at first no doubt .
His solo of saxophone in "One Year Of Love" is so wonderful 💗
That song is just beautiful, at our wedding, my wife and I entered to the saloon with that song.
Questa canzone l'ha scritta lui... È sua.

The Saxophone was played by Steve Gregory not John, the strings arrangement was conducted by Lynton Naiff abd John has played a Yamaha DX-7 in this song plus bass guitar, sampler and a drum machine. There's no Brian's guitar here because of a discussion with John.
thank you John....from one Bassist to another. inspiring.
So happy to see John Deacon highlighted! ❤️
i love john 😭😭❤
John was always Queens secret weapon
We love John, we respect his privacy, we appreciate his work and talent, and he was born in August 19th 😭💖
Spread Your Wings is my long-time most favourite song written by John Deacon. Friends Will Be Friends as well. And his incredible bass lines always capture my heart on any song, such a great song writer and a bass player! And such a beautiful person! I LOVE John forever! From Japan. アリガトウ
Mine too. My song when i'm in a sad mood. Kiss de la France.
Deaky is amazing with the bass i like you ritm
Seeing John play the piano in You’re My Best Friend is adorable 🥺
Sweet John...is a genius and legend, never forgotten!! Great video
deacon is legendary
Finally a video about John
Best bassist i've ever known
John is and was a powerful driving force in Queen and an incredible bass player. We miss him but respect his right to retire.
Spread your wings is sooooooo amazing! Love this music!
I've always loved John 😍 had massive crush on him ever since I was a teen!
John makes my life so much better. You could say it's the best thing that ever happened to me, and I love him for that.
Deaky is a great musician and more; a great man!
John knew there was no Queen without Freddie!
Freddie’s talent is there in every Queen song.
Deacy said; Freddie is my voice ..
John Deacon: a wonderful musician, songwriter and man!

John Deacon is a legend, just like Freddie, Brian and Roger 😍😍
One of my favourite Deaky songs is "One year of Love"!!
Deaky is a legend and will never be forgotten 🖤
Salute Mr. John Deacon. You are always missed.
Happy birthday genius, we still love you dear John
I hope John always remembers how adored he is by Queen fans world wide....what a legend. He will be remembered forever as one of the greatest song writers and 1/4 of the greatest rock band of all time. 🎸👑❤
The one I’ve been waiting for... Deacon’s contribution is immense & were some of their most recognized songs. Deacon and those baselines are legend!
John is missed,
but I’m glad he found peace in retirement.
He wrote
“Misfire”,
“You And I”,
“You’re My Best Friend”,
“Another One Bites The Dust”,
“I Want To Break Free”,
“Back Chat”,
“Spread Your Wings”,
“The Miracle” with Freddie,
“Friends Will Be Friends” with Freddie,
and
“Pain Is So Close To Pleasure” with
Freddie,and more.
100%
If the opportunity ever arose, do you think he'd tour again?
@@heatherduncan5101
No,I don’t think he will ever tour again.
Brian and Roger reached out to him when
Paul Rodgers was lead singer,
and he declined.
He also declined when they first got
Adam Lambert.
He’s still apart of the financial side,
and gives his blessing to whatever
Brian and Roger do with the group,
but that’s it.
Roger said that he never got over Freddie’s death,
and he’s very fragile.
@@jaylene.turner6524 Many of us never got over Freddie’s death either 🥺
His son is on CZcams
Deacy makes my heart happy. I hope he's been watching these videos and knows the love his fans have for him!
Now I understand the variation of songs. Not a single song was the same. This is the benefit of a talented band, who can, play, compose and sing. Impressive ! The best band ever in music history, without a doubt !
I miss him greatly, admire and respect his loyalty to his incredibly close friend Freddie. A perfect storm of talent, personalities and minds created Queen, Queen IS John, Freddie, Roger & Brian. They were a family, meant so much to do many and 50 years later, still picking up new fans from all over the world and others who had never thought of Rock as a source of joy before. 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. He did 2 funny cameo's in videos for Morris Minors in Stutter Rap and another song they did.
Freddie can never be replaced, but the music lives on.... forever. 🎶🎸🥁🎤
Pure joy and beauty he/they gave us! Eternally grateful for these songs that will outlive all of them and us, younger generations…Amazing treasures! Thank you John! Thank you Queen!❤️
Wow what more we can say about this band , multitalented people put into one and magic came out as Queen that I think there music wl live on forever.
Mr. John Richard Deacon my hat is off to you for your awesome & brilliant talents! Deeply felt lyrics & music that reaches us deep down in our hearts! The very soul of Queen have been your contributions of your brilliant song writing. Always a loving fan to the point that I have my given my 1st born son the middle name of John & my 2nd son his 1st name of Richard !!!
This is the only way from the bottom of my heart that I wanted to honor you always !
Thank you a million times for your generous gifts of your beautiful songs! God's blessings to you & your dear family.
❤ Lillian C. Lausell 🌹
My Bias! John really is the dark horse of the group. Silent but deadly. Very smart! Thank you for uploading this! We miss you, John. Stay well!
YESS!! 4 of the most talented musicians of ALL TIME!!
I think one of the best songs John wrote was One Year Of Love. Also when himself and Freddie wrote songs together it was pure magic.
I’ll admit, I don’t love every Freddie and John song, most of them are good for me, but not great. However, The Miracle is AMAZING. In my opinion, the best Freddie and John collaboration.
Miss you John Deacon
A Kind Of Magic was brilliant. Queen took the 80s by the bollocks.
John Deacon you make me smile every time I see you and Queen performing.
I respect and admire you.
Please don't ever forget how talented, unique and special you are to ALL your fans.
God bless John Deacon.

Freddie was his best friend...He had seen John' s potential and stimulated John to write songs....Another one bites the dust is a masterpiece.....Love Queen and John forever
Nuestro querido y admirado Jhon Deacon "Deacky", creador de magníficos temas y originales riff de Bajo. Creo que gracias a él se tomó más en cuenta la importancia de este instrumento en las bandas. Dios te bendiga Deacky, gracias por dejarnos estas hermosas canciones ❤️
John*😂
Tengo 65 años. Cuando aprendía las canciones de Queen las escuchaba en un pequeño transistor a pilas. Agradezco mucho you tube, que después de tantos años me permite verles y conocer sus historias. Muy emocionante para mí, la verdad. Y gracias por las traducciones al castellano. Nunca aprendí inglés. Gracias Queen.
