Band Quotes

Yes, we are fortunate because as a band we’ve always been on the up, always getting more successful Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve loved a band. It doesn’t matter who’s there in the end. What matters is the fact that you did love them Picture Quote #1

My high school yearbook quote contained lyrics from a classic rock band Picture Quote #1

The thing I get out of it is the connection. I remember going to shows as a kid and meeting eyes with the people in the band, and knowing they are meeting eyes with you, and that moment, that smile, and that’s your moment. I want to create millions of little moments for other people Picture Quote #1

I’m a terrible musician. While the band members are great, I’m tolerated and affectionately regarded because I do movies, but if I had to make my living as a musician I would starve. I’m like a Sunday tennis player Picture Quote #1

I have been involved in music since 1972 when I started managing two artists from The Jimi Hendrix Band. My family has been involved in music for years, so it’s kind of in my blood. I just wish I could sing! Picture Quote #1

In the past when a country became as powerful as the United States, other countries would band together to clip its wings. But that isn’t happening now and I don’t think it’s not going to happen, because other countries are not threatened by us, and they secretly appreciate the services that we provide, even if they don’t usually say so Picture Quote #1

I know historians aren’t supposed to fall in love with their own theories, but I was head over heels about the notion of an entire band of female French agents, like a nineteenth-century Charlie’s Angels. Only better. It made the Pink Carnation’s organization look positively humdrum Picture Quote #1

The Alanis Morissette tour, everybody thinks that was all sitting around, lighting candles and talking intelligently about synergy and big words. That band was so gnarly. We were such scumbags. Alanis had no idea. We were like Van Halen Picture Quote #1

The Animals were their own worst enemy. The Animals were a band that couldn’t live up to their name. I was the singer in the band and as long as I was enjoying myself I would keep on working with the band. But it got to be rather nasty once the big money showed up - things started to turn toxic Picture Quote #1

Citizen’s Band radio renders one accessible to a wide variety of people from all walks of life. It should not be forgotten that all walks of life include conceptual artists, dry cleaners, and living poets Picture Quote #1

A lot of people are now criticizing Attorney General John Ashcroft for his policy on detaining what he considers suspicious people. I think he’s going a little overboard. Today, he arrested the entire band Foreigner Picture Quote #1

I know I’m in the band and everything but sometimes I just have to rock out to the John Frusciante Experience Picture Quote #1

I was just a music lover who wondered what it would sound like if Otis Redding strapped on a guitar and played in a punk band. Thats it Picture Quote #1

Then, finally, the third year, begging the parents, I got the Superman Halloween costume. Cardboard box, self-made top, mask included. Remember the rubber band on the back of that mask? That was a quality item there, wasn’t it? That was good for about 10 seconds before it snapped out of that cheap little staple they put it in there with Picture Quote #1

I played the drums, and I was in a band called Funkasaurus Rex in Toronto. When I left for school, it became hard to play as frequently Picture Quote #1

Metallica came along for me at a time and had an affect on me that I feel is the most pivotal moment of my life. I don’t think there’s been anything else that’s even come close that’s affected me in the way that that band did when I was a child when I was 11 or 12 years old, and where it went from there Picture Quote #1

We were a really crazy band. This was in 73. I had my hair real short with a white stripe down the middle of my head. The guitarists had pink hair. We weren’t playing CBGB’s either, we were playing Statesborough, Georgia, for cowboys on penny beer night. We used to keep crowbars onstage when fights would break out. Those were really wild times Picture Quote #1

There is something I like about talking to journalists that really goes beyond promotion because you aren’t just talking to the journalist, but you are talking through them to people who presumably are fans of the Rolling Stones. The interviews give you a chance to say a few things and maybe clear up some of the things people read about the band Picture Quote #1

Weezer’s ‘El Scorcho.’ I’m in a 90s cover band called ‘Straight 2 Video’ with members of the crew from ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ and we played this song at our wrap party. I grin from ear to ear every time I scream this song in my car Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have loads of friends - three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don’t think I’m socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano Picture Quote #1

There’s a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I’m sick of being like everyone else, because I’m not Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of being in a band, but I do want to continue making records and performing, at least a little bit. Making the records isn’t always fun. It’s fun to be finished with them. Making beautiful things can be quite painful Picture Quote #1

In the early eighties, there were a lot of artists involved with the music scene. All those young artists, before their careers took off, were into music. Robert Longo used to play some guitar. He had a band for a while. Basquiat had a band. I mean, people were always trying to mix music and art - in fact, I’m guilty of it myself Picture Quote #1

When I’m writing, I separate from everyone. Even my band. I push myself, and I’m alone with my thoughts. Separating from friends and comforts and family lets you think a lot deeper about subject matter. Working alone drives me a little crazy, but it makes the writing as honest as possible Picture Quote #1

I have very eclectic taste in music. I like everything from Nirvana, which is featured in the film, to world music, to orchestral and jazz. For me, the nineties were about Oasis, because I was travelling around Britain when that band exploded onto the music scene Picture Quote #1

Benny Goodman’s band was integrated before baseball. Even before it was physically integrated, music was integrated. Everyone listened to Armstrong and Ellington. The 20s was called the Jazz Age. It’s part of being American Picture Quote #1

I don’t know that I make a big distinction between the big pieces and the little pieces, because I don’t experience them in that way. I mean, by the same token, you’re out touring with a band and then you’re writing string quartets, and in a funny way, isn’t it all the same, in a way? It’s all just music Picture Quote #1

Capricorn was one of the homes of the Southern rock movement with the Allman Brothers and Charlie Daniels and the Marshall Tucker Band. I don’t think you can come from that area and not be influenced by that stuff a little bit, no matter what generation you grew up in Picture Quote #1
