Quote on Pepsi's "We Will Rock You" attributed to Brian May edit
In an interview with Roger Taylor on the Pepsi rendition of "We Will Rock You", he said that "All of us can make mistakes. By the way, all those things were Brian's ideas..." See http://www.brianmay.com/queen/wwry/moscow/launch.html
Jimmy Sargison edit
"As a trained electrical engineer, he often used to Jimmy Sargison up equipment for the band."
What does "Jimmy Sargison" mean?? I suggest replacing this expression with something that is more commonly understood or explain this in a footnote.
Under pressure? edit
No mention of Under pressure, in which Deacon played one of the most famous bass lines? --82.113.113.82 (talk) 18:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- If you've got a source for this, be bold and add it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:36, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Doesn’t use a plectrum…? edit
Hi, sorry if pointed out already, the following statement is factually wrong:
“Deacon usually played the bass with his fingers, instead of using a plectrum”
On the Magic tour - very very obviously uses a plectrum on One Vision, Under Pressure, Now I’m Here.
Quite clearly has two plectrums in his pick-guard on his black Precision bass. Wapbat (talk) 23:14, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Not sure how many songs they typically played on the Magic Tour but it was definitely seven or more, so if he used a plectrum on three tracks, then the statement that he "usually" didn't would be true. 62.3.74.142 (talk) 13:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
