David Vanian Quotes
In the beginning, the punk scene was so full of promise. All the bands were different, and all the sounds were different.

But then it became, 'You should listen to this and you should wear this uniform, and you shouldn't do this or that.' It was supposed to be about not having rules, but every generation of music gets watered down.
