Taylor Hawkins Quotes

In the studio you can auto tune vocals, and with drums, you can put them on a grid and make them perfect. I hate that sound. When someone hands me a record and the drums are perfectly gridded and the vocals are perfectly auto tuned, I throw it out the window. I have no interest in rock music being like that Picture Quote #1

Why go on vacation when work is so much more fun Picture Quote #1

Life is funny. If you don’t laugh, you’re in trouble Picture Quote #1

I love Donna Summer, and I love ABBA. I love late 70s disco. I love the Bee Gees. I just love that period of recording Picture Quote #1

The Alanis Morissette tour, everybody thinks that was all sitting around, lighting candles and talking intelligently about synergy and big words. That band was so gnarly. We were such scumbags. Alanis had no idea. We were like Van Halen Picture Quote #1

I’ve been lucky enough to have fulfilled so many ambitions, and gone way past anything I ever thought I would do. I could never have imagined the career that I’ve had with the Foo Fighters - playing stadiums and having songs on the radio. It’s amazing, and my goal is really just to carry on playing Picture Quote #1

I’m just not somebody who can sit around doing nothing, and all of us in the Foo Fighters have our own things outside of the band. I’m not going to use the cliche that those outlets bring us back fresh and with new ideas, but what I will say is that it keeps us all feeling free - and that creative freedom is a very positive thing Picture Quote #1

In hindsight, if I could go back in time and relay a message to my younger self, I would tell him to work on his time keeping, and that the job of a drummer is not to be the one that gets noticed the most on stage, or to be the fastest, or the loudest. Above all, it is to be the timekeeper Picture Quote #1

I like stuff that sounds big and full and makes your head trip and your body react Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked hard, but this business can be tough, and I just consider myself incredibly lucky to have had the career that I have, and to still be having so much fun playing drums and making music Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, of course I wanted to be the fastest, the loudest and the one with the biggest drum set, but obviously my aspirations have changed a bit since then Picture Quote #1

The drummer is stereotypically the dumb guy. Maybe that’s why I always respect drummers who do more than drum Picture Quote #1

I know I’m not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that’s okay. You don’t have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That’s not what it’s about Picture Quote #1

I don’t like guitar solos that are like, ‘Look at me, look at me!’ I like guitar solos that are little songs within the songs Picture Quote #1

I don’t have perfect pitch. My drums sound like a drummer, not a drum machine Picture Quote #1

One of the great things about Taylor Hawkins is his…shirtless body, really Picture Quote #1
