John Deacon Eu Te Amo

💖happy pride month Freddie, you would have loved the word slay

Outtake from Dead on Time (take 27(!!)). Brian messed up his lightning speed guitar intro...

Brian: Bollocks!

Roger: [...] can't even remember your own song!

Brian: Bollocks!

A gem and confirmed to make me appreciate Dead on Time a lil bit more. Thanks to the taper, Bob for sharing, Miles for remastering.

Edit: to counterbalance this mess up here is Brian talking more about it very recently:

DRUM & TIMPANI SOLO by ROGER TAYLOR Queen Rock Montreal (1981)

Roger and injuries

from when he started drumming to now

blisters on the fingers and bloody hands (probably looking like this)

(from Rufus’ IG (x) - thanks @bohemiansweede​

1960 (ca.) ‘During one long summer Roger was shot in the back of the leg as the gang scampered through fields pursued by a zealous farmer’s son. “It was only a pellet but it left a bit of a mark,” said Geoff (Moore).‘ ~ from Mark Hodgkinson’s book “Queen - The Early Years”. (thanks @quirkysubject​)

1967 (February) car accident in Cornwall (x)

1974 fell down the stage and knocked himself out (x)

1974 hit on the head with a full can of lager (x)

1974 (November) severely bruised his foot when in anger he tried to kick down the panel in the dressing room (x)

1975 (Hammersmith) “Roger Taylor was really sick – he looks pretty good, but he was feeling really bad. I think he threw up afterwards, but you wouldn’t know [from watching].” - Brian May [x]

1976 (March) cuts his foot after missing a step while getting off the stage. (x)

76-03-22 Tokyo (blood on Roger’s trousers???) (x)

1976 got blown off his drum stool while filming the video for TYMD… (x)

Not sure when those happened and if the black-out bit is the same as the TYMD accident.

Also, thanks @let-roger-get-a-lunch​ for mentioning the many car accidents. We are not sure if he ever got hurt though.

Can you all help me complete the list … please?

This is literally just infinite cuts of him going 🤨😳😏 but it's so funny for some reason.

"Are there even a million stars in the sky?? Well yeah, actually"

Have a treat at the second last cut for the REAL Brian May fans 😌
