One interesting thing about jazz, or art in general, but jazz especially is such an individual art form in the sense that improvisation is such a big part of it, so it feels like it should be less soldiers in an army and more like free spirits melding.

I really enjoy being with the people I play with. I enjoy their company. I love the crew, the band - we just move through the country like an army. I always feel very grateful to be up there. There aren’t any bad nights anymore unless I’m singing bad, but then the band will carry me. And if they’re playing bad, I will carry them Picture Quote #1

Over all our happy country - over all our Nation spread, Is a band of noble heroes - is our Army of the Dead Picture Quote #1

Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It’s like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart Picture Quote #1

My very first gig was with the Sex Pistols, and it was also our first-ever gig. It was a very short set, and it was at Saint Martins College of Art in 1975. We were opening up for a band called Bazooka Joe, and their bass player at the time was Adam Ant, who went on to form Adam and the Ants Picture Quote #1

To be completely honest, I think if I hadn’t been bullied into the band, I would have been happier as an art student. I would have been happier in a Brian Eno world Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we’re the type of band people look at and say, ‘I want to grow up to be just like that’. We’re like a train wreck Picture Quote #1

I joined an all-girl band in Detroit and, although I was a pianist and drummer, I was asked to play bass because no one else wanted to. When I strapped it on, it fit me as good as my leathers. At the first gig we played, I looked out at the audience and thought, ‘This is what I’m going to be doing for the rest of my life.’ Picture Quote #1

No one comes up to me asking for a crack dealer’s number. People come up to me to talk about lyrics, about music, about the band Picture Quote #1

The baby boomers’ politics have covered a wide band of silliness, from the Weather Underground to the Timothy McVeigh types. The great majority of us are well in the middle of that spectrum, but still, there’s been both leftie silliness and right-wing silliness Picture Quote #1

We had this budding baby band going and we hadn’t reached that development we wanted to reach before we got signed to a major label Picture Quote #1

I’m just not somebody who can sit around doing nothing, and all of us in the Foo Fighters have our own things outside of the band. I’m not going to use the cliche that those outlets bring us back fresh and with new ideas, but what I will say is that it keeps us all feeling free - and that creative freedom is a very positive thing Picture Quote #1

Even when the band got back together in 2008, New Kids fans knew I was gay. Everyone did Picture Quote #1

I ran into Axl [Rose] at a club some year ago and told him he’s crazy, we all miss them, and he needs to get the band back together 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

If you are a pop band, don’t say you’re a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys Picture Quote #1

My first concert isn’t that cool or ironic. I wish it had been like, My first concert was the Backstreet Boys, but the first concert I went to, I think, was this band called The Samples Picture Quote #1

There were a lot of bad feelings when Lindsey first left the band. But there’s been a lot of healing going on, growing up, maturing. The bond is a great deal stronger than what we first thought Picture Quote #1

James, that’s a bad situation. I’m not saying it’s not repairable, but it’s pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I’m concerned, he was playing down at the pub Picture Quote #1

I think if I wasn’t a musician, I would be a high-school band director or orchestra director. I like working with large groups of musicians and bringing out the dynamics and accomplishing something as a team Picture Quote #1

Acting had always been the social scene I’d fallen into. It was sort of a merry band of band geeks and theater nerds Picture Quote #1
