You start with a darkness to move through but sometimes the darkness moves through you.
Poets are excellent students of blizzards and salt and broken statuary, but they are always elsewhere for the test. Any intention in the writing of poetry besides the aim to make a poem, of engaging the materials, SHOULD be disappointed. If the poet does not have the chutzpah to jeopardize habituated assumptions and practices, what will be produced will be sleep without dream, a copy of a copy of a copy.
I was satisfied with haiku until I met you, but now I want a Russian novel, a 50-page description of you sleeping.
You want happy endings, read cookbooks.
Just because we have birds inside us, we don't have to be cages.
Here is a semi-transparent pebble I picked up on the way to my EKG. Probably worthless but it is my heart so take it.
I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
I love the music from Nat King Cole, BB King, Albert King... When I think of it, I wouldn't mind being renamed Angus King.
Once you're on stage you can't go back, even when things go wrong people expect you to stay there and entertain them. When all else fails, you've got to try tap dancing.
I don't like to play above or below people's heads. Basically, I just like to get up in front of a crowd and rip it up.
Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.
I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'
My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.
A lot of times you'll hear bands and it's a different sound coming out than what's on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like.
