Famous Quotes & Sayings

Scott Weiland

I played in Velvet Revolver, which is a raw, bombastic blues band with a punk rock edge to it. It's like everything is based around the blues, no matter what the groove is.

David Johansen

In the late '70s, I had a band - the David Johansen band, for lack of a better name - and I started collecting, not records, but tapes from people I knew who had jump-blues records.

If you move one thing, you probably have to move something else and that can be very time consuming. You might spend an hour trying to solve one act's problem. They might share a guitarist with another band playing the same time. And that has to be resolved. And that could take an hour and an hour this time of year is hard to come by.

In a band of only 30, if one person screws up, everybody knows. But as a smaller band, we're able to do things others can't do, like switch equipment and do color guard.

Courtney Taylor

If you're playing in a rock 'n' roll band and still you're doing whatever the man says, then I can tell you for the money the simple life, honey, is good, ... I've got to take my own advice, Jesus Christ...

In the event of the band dissolving, any members could be kept to that contract with or without their consent under the same terms.

In the early '70's, Keith and I were in a band called Canyon that played around the area, in places like the Jolly Ox. We met Randy, and one Monday night we got together, sang a few songs and I think we all knew we had something special brewing. By Wednesday, I had borrowed a bass guitar and we had a gig at this new club in Chattanooga, Yesterday's, and our first show was Thursday night. We knew 20 songs. When I think back on it, I'm still amazed.

Robert Richard

In the lap-band procedure, we put an elastic band around the neck of the stomach, just below the end of the esophagus. Solid food has to cross the band to get to the lower part of the stomach, so you don't need to eat as much to feel full.

Steve Erickson

In their matching candy-stripe shirts, the Beach Boys were America's biggest band of the early '60s, transmitting utopian bulletins of summer without end to a cold and overcast nation.

Gary Kemp

In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.

Brian Ritchie

In the '80s, bands could just hop on the bus and travel for a few weeks; it was profitable. Now, everything's more expensive and you're not selling as many records because of Internet downloads.

Boy George

In the '60s everybody wanted to be the Beatles or the Stones, in the '70s there were bands everybody tried to emulate, like Led Zeppelin. And I think in the '80s you had lots of bands that had quite individual sounds, ... '80s Rewind.

Zack Rocha

Inside Out was the first band I ever fronted. I channeled all my pain through that band. It was about completely detaching ourselves from society to see ourselves as...as spirits, and not bowing down to a system that sees you as just another pebble on a beach. But what Inside Out went through were a ton of lineup changes.

I like to do it just because I like to go to places that a lot of bands normally wouldn't go, because I think the kids are super appreciative of it, and I think it's just a nice feeling to go somewhere where they don't get a lot of cool rock shows. That's why we did that run, and I'm sure we'll do stuff like that again.

Steve Harwell

I just told my friend Paul (DeLisle) to keep the band moving and I'll make sure we get a contract.

It has the band students playing, and there's a part for pots with big wooden spoons to be played.

Claudio Sanchez

I just think it's that we bring a lot to the table. There's the concept idea, which is very interesting and, again, I don't think has been done. Concepts have been done over a standard record, but not like this. And the songwriting is different. There are classic rock influences, and I think they come out more because the band has gotten better.

Classic Rock sums it all up. There are a lot of bands that influenced us. We like to mix it up with some modern rock. Basically, we're rock-n-roll.

Being in the band is like coming back for a family reunion every spring.

James Moody

Being in Dizzy's band was very enjoyable. But quite honestly, I had no idea at the time that things would turn out the way they did. When you are with someone for as long as we were together, the things you talk about and learn from them don't happen all at once. Do you know the reason for time? Well it's to prevent everything from happening at once.

Calls started coming in, letters started coming in. This was their band and they were dog wrong for letting us leave.

Morgan Saylor

I'm trying to be more put-together. My closets are very messy. I like Rebecca Minkoff; her clothes are casual, but cool. I love Band of Outsiders. And ASOS makes a lot of good stuff. I can get lost on their website for hours. I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes.

Dan Hawkins

In a strange kind of way I know were really popular and probably the biggest band in the country at the moment, but at the same time there is this real cult thing going on.

Roy Wood

I named it that because more or less each person from the band used to play in other bands and when we left respective bands other members from those bands all sort of changed round. It was a big sort of move thing. I got it from that, I suppose.

I'm not trying to put down the last three months ... but to be honest, we have more goals than having a song do well at radio. We want to be the biggest band in the world.

Richard Butler

I like the idea of going out and doing something more personal and intimate, with maybe just one or two other musicians. I've never done that, and it's great to have that challenge, instead of having a loud rock band to take the pressure off me.

Martin Gore

I like the idea of doing cover versions. I think it's always interesting when people from bands because it shows people some of their influences.

Ralph Stanley

I'm booked solid for this year, and I'll just be travelling and playing like always the rest of the year. I've turned down twenty-seven bluegrass festivals this year, and it's been standing room only everywhere we go. I can only speak for myself, but it's the best it's ever been for me. I've been blessed with a lot of good health. I get my rest and sit back a little. I think I've got one of the best, if not the best, bands I've ever had.

Adam Gontier

If there's beer flying at us, it's all good, brother. We started playing tiny redneck bars up in northern Canada where there's tons of beer flying and wire cage protecting the band and all sorts of stuff. So we're down with the party.

Clive Sinclair

I owe my discovery of the Hot Club of Cowtown to Kinky Friedman, leader of the Texas Jewboys. When I saw that Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys were headlining the 2003 Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival, I thought it my duty to check out the band that had inspired the Texas Jewboys.

Danny Glover

I had a chance to meet members of the Count Basie Jazz Band when they came to Southwest to give a jazz clinic.
