Band Quotes

You know, my sister sings, my brother plays drums in my band. My whole family is a bunch of musicians Picture Quote #1

A band isn’t a band unless they’re playing together. Otherwise, it’s just five guys that are living off their royalty checks Picture Quote #1

The best part of touring, still, is touching people’s hearts and igniting my band and igniting the people into what you call a spiritual revelation is sound and emotion Picture Quote #1

I don’t need a captain’s band to lead a team to victory Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have any expectations of what my family life would end up being like. But I’ve been very blessed in my life to have a wife who loves me and supports me and is able to be in my band and travel with me Picture Quote #1

When you get down to it, the way that the music affects you individually is the most important thing, and when you let things like the location of a band get in the way or have an effect on your overview, you’re cheating yourself out of a really good time Picture Quote #1

The magic that you find in surf music, I think, is really timeless. You know, when I was very young, I was in a surf band. Surf music is an instrumental music that still means a lot to me, not in an nostalgic way, but as something that really gets to the heart of the guitar itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t think it had ever occurred to me that man’s supremacy is not primarily due to his brain, as most of the books would have one think. It is due to the brain’s capacity to make use of the information conveyed to it by a narrow band of visible light rays. His civilization, all that he had achieved or might achieve, hung upon his ability to perceive that range of vibrations from red to violet. Without that, he was lost Picture Quote #1

Norah looked at her son’s tiny face, surprised, as always, by his name. he had not grown into it yet, he still wore it like a wrist band, something that might easily slip off and disappear. She had read about people – where? she could not remember this either – who refused to name their children for several weeks, feeling them to be not yet of the earth, suspended still between two worlds Picture Quote #1

The tension of opposites: Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s anything better than hearing your favorite band live Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons I became a writer is that, unlike starting a band, directing movies, or acting in a theatrical production, you can do it alone. Your success and failure depend entirely on yourself Picture Quote #1

The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writers main motivation is to become friends with the band. Theyre not really journalists; theyre people who want to be involved in rock and roll Picture Quote #1

There is nothing to keeping a band together. You simply have to have a gimmick, and the gimmick I use is to pay them money! Picture Quote #1

I’ve said this over and over again, but I love being in a band Picture Quote #1

I love being in a brothers band. I have no desire to move away from it at all Picture Quote #1

Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew Picture Quote #1

Years ago when I was in a cover band and we were playing dances, that was quite a different thing. You were there as part of an event. When you’re a songwriter, you are the event. So it’s a little bit of a different focus Picture Quote #1

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

The bass is the link between harmony and rhythm. It is the foundation of a band. It is what all the other instruments stand upon, but it is rarely recognized as that Picture Quote #1

We’d started out as a garage band and it became like a huge band, which was fine. But everything was so magnified, drug addictions, personalities, it just became too much Picture Quote #1

My dad is a singer, so it was always either music or acting with me. All the way up through college I was doing both, and even after college I was in a reggae band. Then the acting really started taking off, so the music had to become a hobby Picture Quote #1

My playing music is strictly for fun. When I was in a band, I was really excited to talk about it since I had never really played music to that extent. It was never meant as something I would consider as anything more than having fun with my friends. But I think I would enjoy writing music for the movies that I’m working on Picture Quote #1

I think the band can really swing when it swings easy, when it can just play along like you are cutting butter Picture Quote #1

I really wish I could sing so I could front a band, because that would be a dream come true, totally. I want to sing. Can’t do it though Picture Quote #1

What’s this? You’re wearing the shirt of the band you’re going to see? Don’t be that guy Picture Quote #1

You can only start a boy band if you kill one of the other ones already out there Picture Quote #1

I would say if I was any type of nerd, it was probably a band nerd Picture Quote #1

And if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, and have done that, I think it would have been worthwhile Picture Quote #1

It’s important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don’t want it to be wallpaper. I don’t want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can Picture Quote #1
