Rock Quotes

I broke my heart in two So hard I struck. What matter? for I know That out of rock, Out of a desolate source, Love leaps upon its course Picture Quote #1

I’m like a middle-aged person; when my friends go on about modern bands, I don’t know what they are talking about. I’m into rock n’ roll, like Jimi Hendrix. Not so much because of my parents, who used to play a lot of Nina Simone and older blues, but my brother and sister Picture Quote #1

My older sister was at the cusp of new wave, and I had older brothers from my father’s first marriage who were rock ‘n’ roll guys, so I was exposed to a lot of popular culture Picture Quote #1

Music was in the air when I was growing up. My siblings Katy, Dave and Phil were musical; my dad worked in inner-city New York where a musical revolution was taking place - folk music, rock n’ roll, gospel music. My sister taught me to sing. My brothers taught me to play Picture Quote #1

Rock n’ roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community Picture Quote #1

With her high pale brow under her faded brown hair, she was like a rock washed clean by years of her husband’s absences at conventions, dinners, committee meetings or simply at the office Picture Quote #1

Buddy Holly and the early rock ‘n’ roll was no lighter than the way I play. It’s very minimal Picture Quote #1

I really feel fortunate to have been around then because there have been good and bad years in rock but the best years were 55 to early 61. I got to see Buddy Holly and everybody else Picture Quote #1

I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers Picture Quote #1

When I founded the first Hard Rock, no one was serving American food in London; McDonald’s wasn’t there, Burger King, etc Picture Quote #1

I did the rock ‘n roll-pop cliche of getting burnt out. I’m not the first person that happened to, and I’m sure I won’t be the last Picture Quote #1

I get butterflies in my stomach before I perform. I love them! They let me know I’m ready to perform, that I’m ready to rock out on stage Picture Quote #1

In 1969, I wrote a musical called ‘Mother Earth.’ It was a rock musical with an ecology theme. We did it at the South Coast Repertory Theatre in Southern California where I was a member. It was a smash hit in this small theater Picture Quote #1

I’m not in Captain America because it takes place in the 40s. Both he and Bruce Banner are relationships that evolve during this - two more rock stars that I got to get on stage, ready to play ball Picture Quote #1

Punk rock wasn’t a career choice. It was a hobby that we did for fun. We never thought we’d get as big as our idols in T.S.O.L. or certainly not the Ramones Picture Quote #1

I have a couple of basses in my office. And I try to be courteous of my co-workers, but sometimes I get carried away and I crank up my amp and I rock out. It’s kind of my stress reliever Picture Quote #1

When I was a teenager, science meshed with my developing ideals - such as the challenge to authority that was central to punk rock. In science, anyone from any walk of life could make a discovery that would overturn prevailing hypotheses. And that was a cause for celebration among scientists Picture Quote #1

You get to a certain age and you just want to prove that you can still rock - that you’ve still got it Picture Quote #1

I’m not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I’m not a rock star. I’m not in it for the fame, I’m in it because I like to play Picture Quote #1

We all sort of do want incentives for creative people to still exist at a certain level. You know, maybe rock stars shouldn’t make as much; who knows? But you want as much creativity to take place in the future as took place in the past Picture Quote #1

If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion Picture Quote #1
