You have your own opinions, but to me John just looks board in the Bohemian Rhapsody video. Or was he just worried that no one was going to buy it? |

Sorry_to_break_the_news_but_thats_the_way_he_looks. Have'nt_you_noticed._he_looks_like_that_every_time_exept for_the_interview_in_the_live_at_budapest_video |

Freddan is right. He always looks like that. He is cute. |
| brian_may_wannabe 25.01.2005 13:36 |
He dosen't look bored all the time. Occasionally he does. He dosen't look miserable on songs like Friends Will Be Friends and These Are The Days Of Our Lives, it's just Bohemian Rhapsody I've noticed he really looked bored. |

Think of the bass line when you see him as being bored. It's a pluck at nearly every passing bar. Not something congruent with shaking your ass about and making odd faces toward the camera. The quiet moments deserve quiet body composure. His disposition is appropriate for what is going on in the song at the given moment. You also have to keep in mind that they were trying to recreate the Queen II cover. Each has his own expression in this picture, and John's is a solemn expression. Ultimately, this reflects his reserved personality, and therefore answers why it would seem he's bored in the video of Bohemian Rhapsody. |

that's just the way he always was, even in real life i suspect. have you even seen him look especially exited or happy on stage? he always said that he didn't enjoy making videos. |
| foxxy_moron 25.01.2005 21:16 |
I thought he looked sad... but thats just me. The other night I did a thing called "Analysing Deaky" and yeah... Usually he looks like he's concentrating, the few times I've seen him smile in vid clips was Breakthru, Body Language and Bicycle Race (gee I wonder why) |
| Fireplace 25.01.2005 21:20 |
It's funny how close to the truth you actually were. John Deacon was Queen's bass player from 1973 to 1974, when he quit the music business because of the pressures involved. Queen never found a suitable replacement, so from that moment on they used a cardboard cut-out on stage and in the video's. Brian played bass on the albums. No wonder poor John looks board. |
| foxxy_moron 25.01.2005 21:21 |
LOL i get it! |
| nasty_queenie 26.01.2005 02:34 |
I always used to think John looked a bit wierd in the guitar solo bit just before the operatic section, something to do with the way he was moving his hips. I was watching something about bass players the other day and they were talking about how bass players are usually overshadowed by the lead singers and while they were saying it they played a clip from bo rhap were Freddie's playing the piano and you can see John in the background. Very appropriate considering how bored John looks in this video. |

:S is he really looking like a board? what kinda board? black board? skateboard? please tell me... |
| Sonia Doris 26.01.2005 07:20 |
not necessarily |
| Las Palabras De Amor 26.01.2005 17:58 |
Well what did you expect him to do? Give a creepy smile and do the Mexican hat dance? And anyways that bit of Bohemian Rhapsody was meant to be sad and haunting and everyone looked like that. e was probably just concentrating on miming playing the bass. |

That's the weirdest run that I've ever seen. *lol*Lmao I didn't see that. I'll have to watch it again. |

Would you like it better if he did this the whole time? link Don't get me wrong I love John and his rare smile but after so long this would get kinda creepy. |
| dave2005 27.01.2005 18:40 |
Finally - some spelling :) 1. the state you get into when something is boring. 2. board - an object, as in skateboard, blackboard John looks like a board? Maybe thats one of the reasons he wont play the tour. |

BORED not board. |

Some people really tend to see snatches, instants, moments captured in pics or on video, and also the most circumstantial statements or phrases as a reason to interprete outlandish things into. Not everything they did had a special meaning or was highly important or to be taken literally: Was Freddie schizophrenic, because he once said "Hi, my name is Kim Basinger" ? Did Roger hate Freddie, because he commented the Nijinski-bit in IWTBF as "Arts with a capital F" ?(by the way, hilarious comment !) And so on... No offense here, just a thought - had to get that out of my system. Now just get on with it... :-) |
| PainPleasure 23.09.2005 18:03 |
bored! |
| Sonia Doris 25.09.2005 04:11 |
I remember this topic ^_^ I was actually looking for sings that John was looking like a board... Didn't find any... |
| deleted user 25.09.2005 19:50 |
It's probably because he didn't sing on that song so that's why he has a face like a smaked butt! |
| fredrogbrijohn 25.09.2005 21:24 |
I always felt that he was probably told by the video directors to Stand Here! He knew he was in the shot, as opposed to other videos that are more candid shots, and he probably just felt uncomforable and shy being singled out in the spotlight next to Freddie. With those lyrics, it's not like it was appropriate to smile and dance around either. Plus, that white outfit... |
