Joe Perry Quotes

Get good live and get a following because that’s what people notice Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think I could go onstage and play unless I had a beer to loosen up. Well, if it was only one beer to loosen up, I’d probably still be drinking today Picture Quote #1

I don’t see anyone avoiding the Stones because DJs make jokes about them being a part of the Geritol set. All it does is make the DJs look stupid Picture Quote #1

I love Indian food - it’s my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It’s really erotic; the spices are so sensuous Picture Quote #1

There are definitely things about ‘Legendary Child’ that echo the music we did earlier in our career. It’s got the right stuff Picture Quote #1

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof, but then things happened and I came to the realization that I had to play every gig as if it was my last show. You have to start thinking that way, because you never know what’s going to happen next Picture Quote #1

I collect firearms, and I’ve got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it’s got feathers and beads hanging off it. It’s like a work of art Picture Quote #1

The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion, but Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers’ fear of overloading. He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get Picture Quote #1

The great British blues guitarists of the Sixties - people like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green - could play like virtuosos, but they also understood the importance of energy and intensity Picture Quote #1

Berry’s On Top is probably my favorite record of all time; it defines rock and roll. A lot of people have done Chuck Berry songs, but to get that feel is really hard. It’s the rock and roll thing-the push-pull and the rhythm of it Picture Quote #1

India brings out so many different feelings in me. I’ve been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the 60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Picture Quote #1

Maybe you could put it out there that I don’t have a built-in dislike of ballads. That was kind of the reputation I had back in the Seventies. But I’ve come around. Ballads have become something of an acquired taste Picture Quote #1

I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it’s for real Picture Quote #1

When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don’t get that runner’s high every day, you feel like, ‘Oh my God, I’m losing it.’ Picture Quote #1

That’s what I love about music. It’s immediate. There’s a connection whether you are playing at Hyde Park or Chicago, and it’s been happening since the beginning of time and the troubadours Picture Quote #1

The kids get a vote. That’s very important when it comes to raising kids. And always keep the bigger picture in mind Picture Quote #1

You don’t throw clothes away, because you know it’s going to come back in fashion! Picture Quote #1

There are guys in country music who are wizards on the guitar. If you’re a country fan, you’re used to it. But as a rock guitar player, you listen Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to put on a Deep Purple record and say, ‘That sounds great.’ But why? Part of it is individual practice, but by playing together, a talent of meshing happens Picture Quote #1

It seems ridiculous that you can be in one state with your driver’s license and buy a firearm, and then in the next state it is totally illegal. There are real problems to that, but as soon as you bring up the subject and say ‘gun control,’ it sets a red flag Picture Quote #1

I’m a Republican, but I’m a Republican from the old school. I was taught that you get what you put into it. You can be anything you want to be if you work hard enough at it, and you can earn your place. That’s the old way Picture Quote #1

My Portuguese uncle had a Portuguese version of a ukulele. The family would pull it out after dinner and play Portuguese folk songs on it. I couldn’t wait for him to finish so I could get my hands on it. I was seven or eight years old. And he used to have a Fender amp in his house and an electric guitar. I would spend hours making sounds Picture Quote #1

If you get satisfaction out of playing music and entertaining people and it makes you feel right, then go for it Picture Quote #1

I love to listen to the music that first inspired me - I get that fresh feeling back Picture Quote #1

I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn’t even start to ‘peak’, as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren’t even recognized till they were dead and gone Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when a record’s done, I’m satisfied and I won’t listen back to it for a while ‘cause I’m usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I’ve got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it’s a really good record Picture Quote #1

Take life on life’s terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you’re doing it Picture Quote #1

You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I’ve seen are the ones that can sustain themselves Picture Quote #1

A lot of people don’t listen to the albums. They just listen to the singles Picture Quote #1

It’s probably listening to country music that got me to start playing a lot cleaner, not as distorted Picture Quote #1
