Band Quotes

If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D Picture Quote #1

I think Nouveau Gloaming is a classic black metal record and I would hate to be a band that kept trying to recapture the same essence, but failing, for the rest of its days Picture Quote #1

The guitar is such an incredible instrument; it plays classical, flamenco, jazz, country, bluegrass, rock, acid, blues. You’ll never see a clarinet playing Black Sabbath. But you will see a guitar in a clarinet band playing rhythm. It is the most popular instrument in the world; it is the one everybody loves Picture Quote #1

I was going to be a musician, no matter what it took. I supported myself with blue-collared jobs so I could write music and be in a band and play shows. I even got into an underground art scene. I was going to do whatever Picture Quote #1

One performer whose band played my music better than I could myself was Art Farmer. He recorded ‘Sing Me Softly of the Blues’ and ‘Ad Infinitum’ Picture Quote #1

Bobby Darin was one of the first to take black musicians on the road with his band, and there were places that didn’t want him to play, and he stood up to it Picture Quote #1

The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms. . . and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together Picture Quote #1

There’s pride on Bourbon Street for the musicians that work there. They take it very seriously. I’ve never worked there or played in band there, but it’s a part of the city. They play for the tourists and represent a whole different side of the culture of our city Picture Quote #1

I’m like a twenty-two-year-old kid in a new band trying to get noticed and break through, because the vast majority of people have never seen me play live Picture Quote #1

Over time, certain people don’t want to go on tour, and that can easily break up a band Picture Quote #1

It’s a strange thing, this idea that for some reason, if a lot of people like what you’re doing, it’s therefore not very good. We use the phrase that a band have ‘sold out.’ Just so you know, if you’re doing a gig and you sell all your tickets, that is a brilliant thing to do Picture Quote #1

If you’re in a band or think of yourself as a slightly creative person, you can get quite self-indulgent, so sometimes it’s nice to have those people who bring you down to earth, but in a pleasant way Picture Quote #1

It broke my heart when my first band split up. I was 25 and we’d been together since we were 15. But it had to happen. There was a point when I knew I had to move on Picture Quote #1

Like most bands we’re a family, family before band. If we broke up tomorrow, we’d still be friends Picture Quote #1

Most people found out about Slint in the mid or late 90s, but we were an 80s band. We started in 1986 and broke up at the end of 1990 Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would’ve stayed with the band Picture Quote #1

My life had become a catastrophe. I had no idea how to turn it around. My band had broken up. I had almost lost my family. My whole life had devolved into a disaster. I believe that the police officer who stopped me at three a.m. that morning saved my life Picture Quote #1

So happy that Broken Bells is a thing in my life and really cool in so many ways. Not only, like, as something to sell records and be a band and whatnot, but just to give me an outlet and give me a fresh approach on things Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to say when the life of a band starts and stops... but playing music together is an act of trust. When that’s broken, it’s impossible to continue Picture Quote #1

I think that was going on with bands like The Strokes was that the idea of the band, a real band, was making a comeback. My brother in law is an example- before he was listening to some country music, even some of that awful nu-metal stuff , but there weren’t many options really Picture Quote #1

When I first played New York, it was with James Brown at the Apollo, and I was playing in a band under the name The Valentinos. I remember Sam Cooke saying, ‘I want you to go in there with James Brown. I couldn’t be as hard on you as James Brown would be.’ But we came out marching like soldiers Picture Quote #1

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It’s who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys Picture Quote #1

I don’t like driving through the rain. Your tour is only going to go as good as your bus driver, kinda like your band is only going to be as good as your drummer Picture Quote #1

I feel like I am campaigning door to door. You just can’t step out of a band like Brooks and Dunn and assume that it is just going to be business as usual. You have to work it. It does feel like a campaign where you would have Obama, Romney, or Newt beating the bushes right now. That’s what I’m having to do Picture Quote #1

Kurt Cobain was Nirvana. He named the band, hired its members, played guitar, wrote the songs, fronted the band onstage and in interviews, and took responsibility for the band’s business decisions Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve always felt as a band and as a musician and a music business person, I’ve always felt like an outsider, period Picture Quote #1

I joined a band because I didn’t like school, and there’s nothing else I’d rather have done. If I really wanted to make money, I’d be in real estate. But I’m rich enough. I have a son and daughter, a lovely home, and if I see something I like, I can buy it. That’s rich enough Picture Quote #1

If you were to ask me about a mistake I have made, it’s calling my fourth album, ‘New Jersey’, because for the first time in my life, we were compared to the E Street Band Picture Quote #1

I was thrilled to support the Teenage Cancer Trust while celebrating the music of The Who - a band that changed my life Picture Quote #1

Teenagers are bored. By everything. Show a teenager an actual volcanic eruption, in progress, featuring giant billowing clouds of smoke, hot rocks raining from the sky, lava flows destroying entire villages, etc., and the teenager, eyebrows arched with sarcasm, will look at you and say, Gee, this is swell, then return to the rental car, turn on his portable CD player, and listen to a band called Stomach Contents Picture Quote #1
