John Deacon

“Freddie and Brian tend to write the majority of the material.”

“When you start out without a record nobody knows you, but if you have a record it's a lot easier.”

“I was too shy to go and meet Princess Diana.”

“But I've always been accused of being a bit tight with money, so it hasn't particularly changed my lifestyle.”

“In a way it costs thousands dollars before you could actually go out to put the show on because you'll need equipments, all the lights you know, and that's more just going out and playing you know.”

“When we recorded our first album sixteen track machines were the thing.”

“I have a few personal ambitions for the band.”

“Yes, it is a rehearsed show, yes, it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre, where everything has to be in place and whole things, everything being works, all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.”

“I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.”

“The band was rejuvenated by that wonderful day. It breathed new life into us.”
