his songwriting skills. |

I like John Deacon's sense of tranquility; he rarely lost his temper (if at all), and never let anything go to his head. If you have ever seen an interview with John, you would notice that he is a calm soul, not to mention a talkative individual. His role in Queen was a good role at that; he did not step up to Freddie's level or anything, but he contributed whenever necessary, writing his share of fan favorites, like Another One Bites The Dust, Friends Will Be Friends (co-wrote with Freddie), I Want To Break Free, You're My Best Friend, Back Chat, etc. And he also contributed physically, playing electric guitar, keyboards, piano, and, of course, bass. All in all, John Deacon is a huge piece of Queen, and ever since his retirement, fans have long awaited the "man in the shadows" to reveal himself once more. |

I like that John is the 777th richest person in Britain. Smart with his money. |
| My Melancholy Blues 13.03.2006 20:22 |
I like John especially when he seems to sing along with Freddie in Liar. :D Do you think he really sang with him "all day long..." His bass playing is cool, for instance in Liar |

And he's freakin' adorable in interviews. |

HIS BASS PLAYING SKILLZ! |

I like John so much because not only was he a bloody good bass player, he didn't go all air head like most other famous people. |
| jcrawford79 13.03.2006 22:56 |
Songwriting abilities.....without question. He had perfect pop sensibility when it came to writing a song. A trait not found in many classic rock bands as pop music was typically frowned upon. Also, many people fail to realize that his songwriting took the band in as many directions as Freddie's did (i.e. flamenco, Caribbean, funk, disco, pop rock, anthemic rock, and 12 bar blues pop). It irritates me to read so many say that John typically wrote within the "black" spectrum of popular music because that is simply not the case when you look at his catalogue of songs. In my opinion, he was a phenomenal songwriter. |

He didn't let fame get to his head. I love Johnny, he seems so sweet and seems like .....hmmm |

The fro that he had in that Radio-gaga video was AWESOME...but all 4 of them looked awesome... I wonder how they got his hair like that...a blowout kit, lol!!! |
| bohemian_killer_queen 14.03.2006 03:21 |
his nose!ha no i loved his songwriting, it was always soo beautiful. |
| Dances With Freddie 14.03.2006 08:00 |
John is the brain behind Queen. It's obvious. I love him. |
| mystic_rhythms 14.03.2006 15:18 |
i forgot to mention...his experience in electrical engineering also helped the band mechanically. Let us not forget the "Deacy Amp"! lol |
| mango! 30323 14.03.2006 15:19 |
The way he bops his head while playing the bass! It's so geeky yet cute at the same time. awwww |
| blerp 14.03.2006 16:55 |
His weird stage antics, and his cute looks (in the 70s)! |
| Sherwood Forest 14.03.2006 16:58 |
"he looks sweet but he can make you cry with a few words" as brian said i like that, and the fact that he wont tour makes me want him more. and the fact that he could be looking at this now with how much he is on the computer |
| Micrówave 14.03.2006 17:18 |
how he gets paid for this Queen + Paul tour. More than the bass player that's actually playing!!! Genius. |

All of these "What do you like best about the members of Queen?" threads suck because the answer is the same for all of them. I LIKE THEM FOR THEIR MUSIC...that's why I'm here, isn't it? |
| Kensington Love 15.03.2006 01:19 |
His brilliant bass,his gifted songwriting,his cute smile;) |
| deleted user 15.03.2006 10:38 |
he does have a cute smile |
| dougie 15.03.2006 20:32 |
Among John, Roger and Brian, Jim Hutton liked John best and that endorsement says a lot for our quiet bass player. |
| Freddie's #1 Fan Forever 15.03.2006 20:36 |
I like John because he is so gracious and humble. |
| deleted user 16.03.2006 16:30 |
I like him because I play bass and he was a kickass bassist. And someone said that they liked the head bop thing he does, thing is, most bassists do something like that to keep in time to the music, including me :P |
| alyssa 08.04.2006 09:11 |
yes, he has very good songwriting skills. the other day i was watching the making of anato and my mom's like "John wrote 'you're my best friend?'" and i'm like yupp :) and i want to break free too and john wrote ymbf for his wife and she's like awww that's sweet .. i'm like damnit i wish i was his wife. |
| Poo, again 08.04.2006 11:40 |
I like his basslines... that's about it. |
