VERY interesting watching this in retrospect.
First, Brian and Roger aren't in the same room together. It's been established that Roger and John started Made In Heaven without Brian in 1993, and Roger and Brian were not getting along at the time. Perhaps they hadn't completely mended fences by this point in 1994.
But more importantly:
"All dried up now." -- John Deacon
...perhaps the wisest thing ever said by a Queen member after 11/24/91. It's a double entendre, and he's well aware.

I think he says "I'll dry up now" which is slang for I'll be quiet now. That makes sense since he said immediately prior that he didn't know what to say.

Of course he says I'll dry up now. English is not my mothertongue but IMHO that was not that difficult to hear and understand. Sometimes people hear what they want to hear. No offence Bob.
Dammit, it is "I'll dry up now."
Fair enough, sometimes we hear what we want to hear. But I bet Deacon has been saying they're dried up for the last decade.
"All dried up now" is what I initially heard as well. Probably less what one wants to hear and more the fact that "all dried up" is an idiomatic expression here where "I'll dry up" is not. Should be though. The Brits really do have the world's best slang. :)
Makes you wonder why they bothered filming it, why they agreed to do it and why anyone would be interested in watching it.
Has to be the very WORST interview footage I've ever seen of anyone; christ - even George Bush had more interesting things to say......
Easy to see how John's self consciousness has maybe grown into something that sometimes seems almost phobic. When a simple planned annual fan message seems this daunting the idea of facing anything like a focused and curious media and public after all this time might be something like excruciating. His son said he almost got him out to the opening of Stormtroopers and Stilettos last year, but he backed out as the date neared. Would have been really great to see him happy or at least comfortable with the significant honour that is due him.

obviously doesn't want the fame and annoyances. Good for him, i guess. STILL i wish i could have caught that exhibition without traveling so far
