John Deacon

[Blonde Bassist]

I think Deaky has got to be the one guy who made me want to play bass. I've been a Queen fan for years and have always been incredibly aware of the bass in their songs. Some of the best constructed basslines I've heard.

Is this the right time and place to put this link then I wonder, sadly Mr. Deacon has retired and won't be present I thought it was worth a mention nontheless

If anyone is wondering what the 'Sonic Volcano' is, read this review of Queen's debut album. One of the few times a music critic gets it right.

Taylor is another criminally underrated musician.
