Brian Setzer Quotes

The biggest challenge for me was Get Rhythm. I don’t know why Picture Quote #1

I got cat class and I got cat style Picture Quote #1

Since the big band started I’m just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it’s very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music Picture Quote #1

With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That’s a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues Picture Quote #1

My D’Angelico is a jazz archtop guitar. That guitar was made for Glenn Miller’s guitar player in 1939. It’s a 39 D’Angelico New Yorker Picture Quote #1

I always thought when I hit 50 years old that’d be it for the travel. I don’t have to tell you - you wait at an airport, your flight’s delayed, get on a 14-hour flight, get off, get stuck in traffic, you get to the hotel and the room service is closed Picture Quote #1

There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain. Love me like a ball and chain Picture Quote #1

I started a big band when grunge was popular. I mean, that didn’t make much sense Picture Quote #1

Normally, you go into the recording studio, make a record and then take it on the road and you think... wow... I could have done THIS to it, or something Picture Quote #1

It’s really funny, I think to myself... I’ve got my same guitar and amp, it’s just a bigger room now! Some things don’t change Picture Quote #1

The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people’s ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It’s not how fast you play. It’s that unique blending of different stuff I’m most proud of Picture Quote #1

We weren’t afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era Picture Quote #1

If you listen to everybody’s opinions, I mean, I always say I’d be digging a ditch on the side of the road now if I had listened to what everybody told me what to do. You know, you have to follow your heart, you have to Picture Quote #1

Robert Plant is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, never mind rock star. He’s so down to earth Picture Quote #1

It’s not about how loud you turn the amp up. That’s not what makes it sound big. What makes it sound big is fooling around with different delays and reverb settings Picture Quote #1

Just because you put super great musicians together, it doesn’t mean you’re going to have that chemistry as a band Picture Quote #1

Mark Winchester has left the band. He’s decided that he’s tired of the road and just wants to concentrate on his career in Nashville. I don’t blame him at all. He’ll certainly be missed Picture Quote #1

We weren’t afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era Picture Quote #1

A lot of people put all that stuff on a pedestal, and they won’t touch it. But I don’t think that’s the reason they did that. I think they played that stuff out of pure joy Picture Quote #1

If you listen to everybody’s opinions, I mean, I always say I’d be digging a ditch on the side of the road now if I had listened to what everybody told me what to do. You know, you have to follow your heart, you have to Picture Quote #1
