One thing that I find curious and interesting... Queen and all bands in general... The members family and particularly their children (now all most all adults now) and in this day in age with social media... You wonder just how easy it is to let something slip... Be it a funny story or something that your dad (Brian) told you about being on tour and (Don't tell your mum that....) or something just in general... Interesting, maybe discussing what it was like working with John in studio etc etc....
The best example for me would have to be Johns son Cameron?? and wow!!!! He's definitely not cut from the same cloth as John... definitely got his personality and openness from his mum!!!
And just how prolific he is on YouTube!!!
Especially with the lead up to the film Boh rhap!!! I followed with great interest, just in general, seeing if he would talk about his dad and how he was etc etc etc... It was very interesting just how um, just how he was very open etc but there was definitely a line there that he (seemed) almost naturally not to cross... There was many times he would say dad(he seems like a very open kid...) But Actually not mentioning the words John Deacon (just dad) and in his rambling on... Not saying something like... "oh "John Deacon..." MY DAD..." or "DAD is so excited about this film and..." "Oh he got his bass out and played me those bass lines and sung it to me how he would have sung it..." etc...
It made me wonder... "during the birds and the bees talk...." if these kids, I mean... these kids are just mortal kids from immortal musical gods, (unless you are Rogers son touring with the band on drums) Probably hate music and just want to be a builder or a plumber and don't give two fucks about dad's most iconic guitar solo....
But I wonder if Brian, Roger and John took each and every one of their children aside when they hit that 'certain age..' you know... especially with the advent of Facebook, twitter, and youtube..
"Hey son, your dad was/is in this really big band and its time son that you were taught the .... (cant think of the word... efficacy or something like that??) of being the offspring of these immortal rock gods that your dad is.. Being children of the worlds greatest rock band... No expectations son but....."
I wonder if they had to sign some contractual waver or something that went along the lines of....
'Right son/daughter...' "read this and sign just here" "basically it's saying that if you say something about daddy on social media or let something slip... Even if it is about how often we actually go round to Johns place and get on the booze.." 'See that Red special sitting right there...." or... "See that bass that I used to record Another one bites the dust..." See that glistening red guitar that I have smacked your bottom many times as a kid for getting your sticky sugary hands all over it...?!" "remember when daddy spent hours cleaning and wiping off that caked crap that you got all over my guitar from those filthy impure hands of yours, touching my guitar.. MY GUITAR!!!" "Remember when daddy had to remove all of the strings to get in behind the fret board and daddy was wondering how on earth did you get crap here" "Remember how you really want to play it and I say..' "not until I am dead!!!"
"Well..."
"Basically..." "If you wright something up on social media or say something on youtube.... "WELL..." "that Guitar!!!" "that thing that will be helping you pay off your mortgage in years to come when your wife tells you that you need to sell that junk bit of firewood sitting in the corner collecting dust.." "That Guitar will be donated and be going straight to the local museum, never to be touched or played with ever again and you will be cut straight from the will!!!!"
