John Deacon, The Queen's Secret Weapon.

The groovy, brilliant bassist, beautiful John deacon

I personally don’t think John Deacon got the recognition he deserved as a bass player. He’s a BADASS!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

John not only is a great bassist, but he always appears to be totally into the moment. Normally you see the lead guitarist so active. Queen made the perfect choice with John, he was an absolute draw for me, he was awesome.

That Keep Yourself Alive Intro at Montreal 81’ gets me every time! It’s both so warm yet richly deep all at once. His confidence is one of my favorite things about him. He never doubts his ability to play the bass. John’s warm, rich basslines are unmatched.

[LeoM-ot]

‘Liar’, in my opinion, is one of the best bass solos ever. It’s incredible, especially the album one.

[Nimmo]

Deaky is one of the world's best bassists, but he prefers to be out of the limelight, and isn't one for self-promotion. He just stood there in the back and got on with it.

Man, deacons bass lines are groovy as hell

[julesc_bubblegum]

Millionaire Waltz is a top for me - we have a speaker in our apartment that really emphasizes the bass and MAN, that song is KILLER on it!

[dreysanchez]

As good as another one bites the dust and under pressure are my favorite bass line of John Deacon is dragon attack absolutely love that bass in that song so groovy.

[jessicaclaire]

The way he absolutely BUST out that solo in Liar, it makes me feel things 😳

[TurboComedy]

His Liar solo 3:08 is the most clean bass lines and bass solos in any Queen song! THE BEST

[stoleyourbeans]

My favorite live performance of another one bites the dust is live at the bowl

[pedrobricenocarpio]

He composed one of the most beautiful queen songs, who needs you.

[eggshelleytheegg]

0:24 Freddie was like wtf ok I guess we're starting😂

[BuyAvonFromDonna]

John was so much fun to watch, because he was not only wildly talented, he also enjoyed himself so much!!!

[chewymew]

If anyone tells you John Deacon is "just good enough" slap them, then show the 2:50

[kaylan-dyhx]

i personally LOVE the invisable man riff. also johns dancing in the video is beautiful.

[johnbig]

As Freddie would say, John is such a sweetheart that would drop your jaw once he goes solo !

[poisonous-shadows]

Queen was definitely one of a kind that will never be repeated or ever touched I was glad to be raised on music like this
