Hi! My question may sound/look weird but I was just wondering the other day - I've heard Freddie,Roger and Brian swearing ,saying "fuck","fucking" etc. on many different occasions but I've never heard John saying any of those words.I'm sure he was swearing but is there any recording where you can hear him doing it? Thanks |
| Marknow 26.01.2013 16:07 |
JD's vocal input was always limited in comparison to the others, there was often debate about whether his mike was even turned on, but his vocals can be heard in some live recordings. Cannot recall any instance of him cursing though, the only tantrum of note that comes to mind is when he threw his bass away at the end of the Knebworth show. |
| Karfan 26.01.2013 16:13 |
Yeah,I know that his vocal microphone was always very low or even not turned on AT ALL. I meant - interviews,sound checks,recording sessions etc. Recordings on which they are talking.For example you can hear Brian ,Roger and (of course) Freddie swearing on the One Vision sessions... |
| brENsKi 26.01.2013 16:36 |
trying to work out why you might need to know this. the rest of the band took at least one sh*t per day - would you need to know if Deacy also took a daily dump? the trivial nature of some questions lately - sheesh!!! |

I have never really thought about that lol, but no i dont think i have ever heard John swear at all. |
| Karfan 26.01.2013 16:40 |
Well,I'm trying to work out why did you start talking about them taking a dump? That's scary. |
| Karfan 26.01.2013 16:42 |
TheWorks84 - Exactly! It just came to my mind the other day.Nothing major,I was just wondering. |
| tomchristie22 27.01.2013 00:57 |
I think it's a reasonable enough question - John's a quiet person and the poster is asking a specific question about his mannerisms which other people here might know more about than him. God forbid! |
| john bodega 27.01.2013 05:25 |
He used to swear a lot during sex, when he was still alive. |
| waunakonor 27.01.2013 10:31 |
He seemed to have an at least moderately dirty mind, so I don't see why not. Also, trivial discussion is better than no discussion at all. At least he's not spamming. |
| TheWorks84 27.01.2013 11:58 |
At least we will always have the memory of John throwing his bass guitar just as Radio Gaga was ending at Knebworth 1986. |

you can put any "meritorial spin" on it that you care to, but fact is this: go to any zep, purple, floyd or beatles forum and NOBODY asks "does John-Paul/Roger/Ian/George swear?" no wonder queen are not taken seriously. |

It could be interesting to search around and see what is talked about. Don't think that other bands don't bring up silly topics too. For example, on a forum for a certain band, I saw a thread asking this, essentially: "I own all [band's] music, but I don't own all the merchandise that they put out. Does that mean I'm not a true fan?" The worst part was that many people (though not all) were taking the question seriously, with discussion on what constitutes a "true fan." Anyway, although I'll admit that I want people to respect Queen, I highly doubt that many people judge the band based on what people post in forums. |

I frequent the subreddits for Led Zep and The Beatles, and similarly trivial things are asked on occasion. Queen didn't take themselves entirely seriously either, their output and attitude was fairly jovial. |
| Rick 29.01.2013 07:56 |
link Isn't that John who says 'You play that fucking twelve string' or is it Roy Thomas Baker? It sure does sound like John |

| tomchristie22 29.01.2013 23:23 |
Fair enough, it wasn't a great comparison. It's just the only thing I had to compare it to. Still, I can understand where the OP's coming from |
| Karfan 01.02.2013 11:02 |
Some of you are reading too much into it.All I've asked was "are there any recordings out there with John's swearing" .No more,no less.Whether it is "trivial" or not - I don't know.All I know is that I can find many way more "trivial" threads on this forum ,such as "Your favourite Keep Yourself Alive performance","Favourite t shirt of Freddie Mercury" or "Your favourite song".Those are in my book way more "trivial" questions than the one that I've posted...I've been on this forum for years but I only post here from time to time as there are too many smartasses who will always try to "destroy" some people's threads.Thanks to all of those who defended me and genuinenly answered my question.By the way the person who says about the "fucking 12 string guitar" is Roy Thomas Baker.Thank you anyway! |
| GratefulFan 01.02.2013 11:20 |
John Deacon spends an enormous amount of time swearing. Swearing she's not a stripper and never has been! Do not believe your lying eyes. |

The funny thing is that I didn't mention any names and yet you said "but while you're calling me a smartass" ...Actually I didn't have YOU in my mind.I didn't have ANYONE in my mind.The truth of the matter is that this forum and 32432 other forums about ANY subjects are full of smartasses. , - Perhaps - you are the one who is taking these things too seriously.And your "theory" about "my theory is the only valid opinion" is well,not "valid".Where did I write something so ridiculous?As I said - I don't know whether my thread is trivial or not.You seem to know better.To be honest - your post is illogical and it doesn't make sense. For example : You wrote : "so i'm a smartass because i think your thread is trivial? well newsflash - it IS trivial. " The fact that you're STATING that my post IS trivial and the next second you write about "opinions"...Well,it's either an opinion or a "fact". Please be consequent. It's really funny when people reading way too much into stuff and then putting their own theories and words into others "mouth".This should be a "fun" forum.We're all Queen fans. Why EVEN IF IT IS a trivial thread (I don't care if it is ,I'm not 5 year old) commenting on it in a negative way?Rock and Roll. |
| Karfan 01.02.2013 20:49 |
I don't get this.I've tried to include the quote from Brenski in my message but it wasn't included.Sorry for spaming,doublepostng..etc. |
| Karfan 01.02.2013 20:50 |
Bobbyo - I think that you're confusing me with someone else ,man.... |
| brENsKi 02.02.2013 01:51 |
you need to work your arguments from a starting point of logic 1. it's quite obvious that - in YOUR perception that those who think your thread is trivial are "trying to destroy it", and by consequence must therefore be the self-same SMARTASSES to whom you refer. unless you care to point out either why YOU were not referring to me, or who in fact you were referring to. because it's very easy to hide your accusations on the interweb - at least I DON'T. if i think somethng, i'll say it - and to the person it's directed to...without using some general hide-behind "smartasses" term 2. when did OPINIONS and FACTS become mutually exclusive. when you have two opposing viewpoints sometimes one opinion will be correct - and therefore FACT. - this is one such occasion. in the grand scheme of things - even "queen related" - this is a trivial thread. therefore MY OPINION is also FACT. 3. finally, doesn't matter what forum it is - we ALL have the same equal rights to comment - and you dismissing the "smartasses" as invalid is dictatorial. it's a discussion forum, and part of that discussion can and should be disagreeing with and discussing the validity or otherwise of the subject matter. |

| Karfan 02.02.2013 06:36 |
Exactly - life is too short ,definitely too short for such "trivial" discussions! :) |
| Karfan 02.02.2013 06:39 |
Brenski - One thing is obvious - nothing is. |
| john bodega 03.02.2013 06:37 |
He's actually (and not many people know this) quite serious about big game hunting. It's part of the reason that Brian refuses to work with him now. |
| waunakonor 04.02.2013 13:45 |
Is that a joke, or is that serious? If so, that makes sense, even though Roger hunts as well. |
