I was casually scrolling through the music side of the Google Play Store, and since today's his birthday I decided to type John Deacon into the search bar. I thought I'd get nothing back, but to my surprise I found two albums with his name on them 'Another Time Another Place' and 'Alligators Don't Live Under the Bed'. Naturally I was skeptical, since for the longest time I thought he did the odd gig when Queen briefly went their separate ways. Though when I went to check the bio in the main artist page, I discovered that the story there matches up to what actually happened with him and the band. If anyone here can get me any info at all on 'Another Time Another Place' and 'Alligators Don't Live Under the Bed', I would be most appreciated. |

it's not Queen's John Deacon. Also to point out there are at least 3 Roger Taylors and at least 2 Brian Mays. (and yes... only 1 Freddie Mercury so far). 1. John Deacon the bassist for Queen 2. John Deacon.... the independent artist who apparently didn't think to change his name to avoid confusion. 1. Roger Taylor... the drummer for Queen 2. Roger Taylor... the drummer for Duran Duran 3. Roger Taylor... the professor who's book (Queen's) Brian May is supporting 1. Brian May... the guitarist for Queen (amongst other side projects including a PhD) 2. Brian May... soundtrack artist (notable Mad Max) Yes - There Can Be MORE Than One!! |

Don't forget 1. Freddie Mercury... singer for Queen 2. Freddie Mercury... cheesy 80s pop singer who did 'Mr Bad Guy' and some other tat. I think he's dead now. |

Dysan Do not forget that Freddie Mercury who blew all the artists of the stage at Live Aid in 1985, and has a comet named after his name! |
| dysan 20.08.2018 13:28 |
Yes, that was Freddie Mercury of Queen. The other one wasn't at Live Aid. |
| Kuijpy 20.08.2018 17:20 |

Yeah Martin Gordon (ex-Sparks bassist) told a funny story about auditioning for RT's band in the 80s. It was a blind audition (IE he had no idea who it was for, just a 'name' artist). He was finally selected and told it was for Roger Taylor. Once they met he said 'Oh I thought it was the tennis player' and subsequently didn't get the job. |

Album Notes John William Deacon was born on August 2nd, 1958 in Market Harborough, Lecestershire in England to parents Audrey and Roy. At an early age his family moved to new Zealand where he attended schooling in Tauranga. His first instrument was the cornet where -following his father - he joined the local brass band. Guitar lessons were to follow where he learned on an old acoustic guitar, soon progressing to an electric guitar with a home made amplifier made by his father. After learning the basics of the guitar he joined a band called "Good Company" with a drummer called Joe Lee, who had worked with "Cliff Richard and the Shadows". During his early teens he formed a band called "Orpheus", while at the same time being involved in various theater works, such as the Mercury theaters version of caberet, in which he was cast as the leader of the German youth, and also being cast in Benjamin Brittens "Childrens crusade" under director Dobbs Franks. After completing schooling in music and physics at Otumoetai college he moved to London where he took on various jobs. After a short time with a band called "Black Gorilla", known for the minor 80's hit 'gimme that banana' he ended up touring with a band called "Delegation", another of the bands overseen by the 80's songwriting team of Ken Gold and Mickey Deene. Resting from music for a while he got back into electronics which caused a move to the USA, and after a short time in Maryland moved to Austin Texas. He got back into the music scene after doing short amounts of fill in work with various country bands, with a band called "Back In Stride" which featured Ex "Temptations" Singer Curtis Clay. Then after a short time with the "Bruce Demarest Band", he started writing and producing an album featuring his own songs. His first album to be released is "Another Time Another Place" He currently lives in Austin texas with his dog, "Rags" and cat "Sissy". |

John Deacon was also the school 'tea-bagging' champion. |

Or he was so loud that Rog heard him exclaiming? |
