Band Quotes

I’m a very competitive person, and I always competed with myself. Every year, I’d take six weeks with my band, crew and choreographer to put a new show together. We’d spend eight hours per day, seven days per week putting a show together to beat the last year’s show Picture Quote #1

Youths write me and tell me that their band will go nowhere because of all the bad bands in the world. I tell them there has always been awful music and that no great band ever wasted any time complaining, they just got it done. Their ropey ranting is just a way to get out of the hard work of making music that will do some lasting damage Picture Quote #1

When I go to a concert, I can’t believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that they obviously like and then they dance the whole time Picture Quote #1

I love a song that will usher in the very presence of God. Then there’s no Andrae; there’s no fabulous band, there’s no greatness of ours. I’ve had hundreds of concerts like that, and that’s what I try to achieve Picture Quote #1

Carly Simon abandoned the stage for seven years after collapsing from nerves before a concert in Pittsburgh in 1981. When she resumed performing, she would sometimes ask members of her band to spank her before she went onstage, to distract her from her anxiety Picture Quote #1

The very first concert I ever went to was a Green Day concert when I was 12 years old, at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ont., and I remember right after seeing them perform I started a band, and I wanted to get up in front of people and start performing. Ten years later, to be on the Green Day ‘American Idiot’ tour is really awesome Picture Quote #1

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band Picture Quote #1

It’s like, how do you continue to make records that are representative of who you are that your fans will recognize as your band, while still trying to push things forward and present new sounds for people Picture Quote #1

Make no mistake about it: once a band has signed a letter of intent, they will either eventually sign a contract that suits the label or they will be destroyed Picture Quote #1

If the label presents them with a contract that the band don’t want to sign, all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract, so the label is in a position of strength Picture Quote #1

I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass player’s brother’s bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool Picture Quote #1

My dad was a huge big band and jazz fan, and we both sort of enjoyed be-bop, but man, it required so much skill to play it. And then there was cool jazz, the era that Miles, Coltrane, and Ornette ushered in, and that found a home in me. It turns out that that music was just really where I breathed Picture Quote #1

So you wake up this morning and find you’re president of the United States. Pretty cool, no? Helicopters and a 747 at your disposal; courtside seats at any NBA playoff game of your choice; everyone stands up and the band plays when you come into the room Picture Quote #1

It’s pretty cool that people will pay for something even though they don’t have to. It’s totally different now to back in the day. Now you’re paying for a record because you believe in the band. In the future that will be the only time people will pay for albums, because there’s some kind of connection Picture Quote #1

We became a band that was kind of a big band, kind of a band that quite uncool people listen to, people a lot like me. I’ve realized that’s a much more beautiful fate than the plan I had Picture Quote #1

Kentucky Gag Order is a great band, there’s stuff here and there that you catch that is cool Picture Quote #1

Any time somebody is into your band that’s a good thing. And if they’re in a really cool, really popular band, that’s a better thing Picture Quote #1

Make working out the centre band of core and hips a priority during any training session. As a sportsman, it’s the key to any movement and the source of most of your power Picture Quote #1

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he’d listen to a lot of music and the songs that he’d learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even Picture Quote #1

My dad used to play drums in a country band, and my mom is an incredible singer Picture Quote #1

Every band had their own distinctive sound, but it was pretty much dancing music and rhythmic music with a tremendous emphasis on copying the Cuban models Picture Quote #1

When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn’t on the radio or TV Picture Quote #1

If I can get that DAM trio back together again - get the band back together - and put on a concert of David Bowie’s electronic music, that’s the way I want to remember David, moving forward into the future of music Picture Quote #1

The thing I like about the band [Dead Child] is that there’s no pretense. We aren’t even trying to be artists or poets Picture Quote #1

I played in a death-metal band. People either loved us or hated us. Or they thought we were OK Picture Quote #1

At the time of starting this band I was listening to tons of death metal. However, the bands that made me want to be in a band to begin with were groups like Korn, Deftones, Slayer, Sepultura... everything that my dad would buy and bring home to me and my brother saying ‘Hey, listen to this’ Picture Quote #1

It was always very important for us that we presented ourselves as a band, because it’s a three-part writing process and it’s a three-part decision making process, it’s not two producer guys and a girl that sings the songs. It’s startling how many people make that assumption Picture Quote #1

Am I the man who killed Deep Purple? I don’t think so. I think every band from that era, even if you look at Led Zeppelin, if you look at their first four albums, they’re extremely different from one another, and I’ve never made the same album twice Picture Quote #1

Def Leppard is obviously a different band that we are, but the music work well tighter. And the audiences seem work well together too. We are opening, but we’re having a good time Picture Quote #1
