Musicians Quotes
-
If an ensemble - I don't care if it's a duet or a forty-piece orchestra - the musicians, the two of them or the forty of them, are all trying to play as tight as possible, as one person. They're trying to play like they are one person.
John Densmore
The Doors
-
We're not spokespeople, we're musicians.
Ed O'Brien
Radiohead
-
Involve yourself every day. Work hard and figure out how to love acting all day, every day. It's getting into a made-up situation and making it good and making it real and just playing, just practicing and playing. Like the musicians that I played piano with: they never expect to be rich or famous, but they, for the sheer joy of it, play every day, all day.
Jeff Goldblum
-
The best musicians or sound-artists are people who never considered themselves to be artists or musicians.

Def Leppard
-
I consider music to be a service and I am trying to serve the music, the musicians and the audience the best I can at every moment.
Jeff Coffin
Béla Fleck and the Flecktones

If you think of the way a composer or say a pop arranger works - he has an idea and he writes it down, so there's one transmission loss. Then he gives the score to a group of musicians who interpret that, so there's another transmission loss. So he's involved with three information losses. Whereas what I nearly always do is work directly to the sound if it doesn't sound right. So there's a continuous loop going on.
Brian Eno
Roxy Music
-
It wouldn't be unusual for dad to call on Jim and Steve to play if his regular musicians couldn't show.
Rodney Terence "Rod" Argent

He is smitten on the brain, -he reads and writes verses! I caught him in the act! Fools might say he was inspired; but I know it is the first and worst symptom of lunacy. All other maniacs have lucid intervals; some are curable; but the madness of poets, dogs, and musicians, is past hope. Earth possesses no remedy, science no cure.
Edward John Trelawny
-
The Dead Daisies have been an absolute blast for me so far. The guys are all great musicians and also incredibly easy to work with.
John Corabi
Mötley Crüe
-
I like the idea of being a student, and I play with very good musicians. So playing with them allows me to get better. My aim is to get better, but I really love it for its own sake.
Jeff Goldblum
-
As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment - and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society.
Lauryn Hill
Fugees
