I'm assuming here that Brian, Roger and Paul will use Danny Miranda as the bassist on the new album. But who would you prefer? Here's my shortlist: John Deacon (obviously) Bruce Foxton (of The Jam) The Mad Bass Player Out Of The Stranglers (of The Stranglers) Roddy Murray (of The Dancing Mice) What does everyone else think? |

I have no problem with Danny. He did a superb job on the tour, and is a great fit for the band. |
| August R. 01.05.2006 13:35 |
Getting John back would be great. Danny is good, but I think I prefer Roger... |

JOHN JOHN JOHN no ONE CAN REPLACE A queen MEMBER BUT STILL DANNY IS A GREAT BASSIST |
| bonnzzo 01.05.2006 14:19 |
I know this may be a stupid question, but when John "retired", did he also retire from doing any thing else with Bri and Rog. I quess my question is, what is the chance that John could record a album then go back to planting flowers. |
| Atomic Dog 01.05.2006 14:37 |
John is the first pick, but if you want someone with some creative edge I vote for TONY LEVIN CHRIS SQUIRE PINO PALADINO The best in the biz! |

John Deacon. DUUUUUUUHHH!!! |
| roy_fokker 01.05.2006 15:10 |
So you assume there will be a NEW ALBUM?? I always thought that Thee Cross' P. Noone was a great bass player. :-D |
| Rick 01.05.2006 15:47 |
Mike Porcaro is great. :-) Toto is such a great band. _O_ |

I think if a guest vocalist is ruled out, Mr Deacon may come back into the fold.... |

Does anyone think it could be anyone but DM?C'mon let the guys stay in house.Besides they all sound the same |
| Deacons 1st Choice 01.05.2006 19:43 |
I doubt John will be involved. Sorry to say it, but i don't see it happening. Now i;m usually the one who says there is always a chance...but not this time. John will stay away and get on with the life he has now. |
| it was electric7 01.05.2006 19:51 |
Wow reading this makes me a bit sad accually...I really miss John :( |
| akindofmagic 01.05.2006 20:36 |
well, i think Brian and Roger should ask John if he want to do it. But not sending a letter like they did about the tour. they should go to his house, have a nice conversation explaining the project. doing an album could be less "dangerous" for a quiter guy as john is. I'm sure that back in 1997 when Roger lobbied on Brian to record "No-One but You" as Queen they didn't sent a letter to John.. they talked directly with him. i e-mail brian a month or so ago asking if John would be called for the album..he haven't replied. i think we should all send e-mails to him to ask for John in the studio album. If John refuse to join Brian and Roger are pretty much competent to do the job. |

Boca....now come on now mate... We all know John is still alive and living well! Seriously....he's around. |
| Dicky Hart 02.05.2006 23:06 |
miranda is more than capable, , john if he said yes, but we know its not gonna happen. |
| chefman5150 11.05.2006 22:35 |
Sad truth is is that John wouldn't have any desire to do so. Danny Miranda is an excellent bass player, and seriously kicked some ass on this last tour, so my vote is with Danny!! |
| Togg 12.05.2006 07:09 |
Danny or Neil Murray both would be fine with me. Don't get your hopes up, John aint coming back |
| CharlieG 12.05.2006 18:22 |
Danny's one of the best bass players on the planet, and he will be more than up to the task should they record a new album. I've followed Danny's playing for the past 10 years, having seen him perform in Blue Oyster Cult over 100 times, a number of gigs out on Long Island with a quirky funk outfit, Voodoo Bisquit, with Q+PR a number of times, and I have heard him on numerous records. Danny's name is consistently at the top of people's short lists when they go looking for a player who can do anything - including guitar, keys, drums, trumpet, composing, etc., etc. . . What I wrote in his bio for the Q+PR.com website isn't hyperbole in the least. The fact that he's a close friend doesn't really play into my assessment. I watched him play and listened to his records for a couple of years before I ever got to meet him. |
| AmeriQueen 31.05.2006 02:27 |
Maybe Miranda, maybe Neil Murray, probably Brian would do the Bass himself. |
| Deacons 1st Choice 31.05.2006 23:00 |
Now there's something i've never heard of....but find interesting to ponder: Brian playing Bass! Hmmmm......interesting. Now we all know Roger can rock on Bass.....maybe he could guest on a track? This is silly...we all know Danny will more then likely be the man. I mean, why now really since he IS in the Band that is Queen + Paul R? |
| DragonOnMyBack 01.06.2006 08:02 |
I agree it should be Danny. Would prefer it to be John but we all know that's not gonna happen. |

I think realistically they might not bother drafting someone in who would then get performance credit and money - Im pretty sure Brian can more than handle Bass playing if needs be - didnt he play Bass on many of his own songs. Seems pointless to get in anyone other than the three of them. |
| Zak Royen 03.06.2006 20:57 |
I hope they leave the bass playing to a bass player. Danny's quite good. |
