Music Quotes
I love writing music, but it seems I'm always writing words, so I don't get much time to do it.
Neal Shusterman
If your playing basic music, its just rock.
Chuck Berry
Although my first instrument was actually the violin, I prefer the piano as my main instrument. I love harpsichord and church organ and, of course, I love all synthesizers, analog and digital, as well as all sorts of percussion instruments, in addition to my beloved Alpine Horn and trumpet. And there's nothing like a Hammond organ and a real Moog synthesizer, or even a real Oberheim. When I played the mellotron, I had special effects tapes of all my albums made and was "playing" them through live concerts or different recordings like "on cue" analog samplers. I liked that part of playing them too, because they provided some very original punctuations in the music.
Patrick Moraz
The Moody Blues
I don’t really care how music comes to me, as long as it is a good song. I would not want to be a new band trying to make today. You either go independent and play live a lot and get good at playing live, or you sign a deal with a major which is hard to do these days. I don’t have a record deal. I play live and put out records when I feel like it.

Rock n' roll! It's the music of puberty.
Suzi Quatro
I'm one of those artists that doesn't actually hate my old hits. I love Boston music. I really like 'More than a Feeling.' After playing it to myself in a basement for such a long time, I'm happy to do it out on stage.

Country music is always changing but the Opry is always there to serve as a lighthouse for what country music really is. The past, present and future is all encompassed by not only the physical structure of the building but also the radio show.
Dierks Bentley
I strapped an MP3 player to one of those floor-cleaning robots. Call him DJ Roomba - little guy cruises around and plays music. What's hot, DJ Roomba!
Aziz Ansari
I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
Sting
The Police
Color is everywhere, so everything has changed. I still can't see color, but I can perceive it. I can experience it in a way that allows me to be a part of this reality, which I was excluded from before. Thanks to the eyeborg, I've made a career by combining music and art.
Neil Harbisson
Poems are rough notations for the music we are.
Rumi
Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
Chantal Kreviazuk
Ry Cooder for me is a master, a great master that has a wonderful feel for Cuban music. He's also paid tribute my talent a bit, even though I don't know half of what he knows.
Compay Segundo
Buena Vista Social Club
We live in a society of triviality, and my music and what I'm about kind of starts to break that mold and adds more meaning and dialogue to hip hop.

Revenge is good. I think revenge is healthy too, and if you can use music in that way, a sort of therapeutic way for yourself, it can't do any harm. So if King is angry in any way, it's angry in a random, chaotic, healthy way. Like the guy who goes into a building, shoots a bunch of holes in the wall and then leaves. He didn't kill anybody.
Mike Patton
Faith No More
I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.
Gary Cherone
Van Halen
I do not trust self serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations either. I trust people. So I make my music for people not for candidates.
Neil Young
Buffalo Springfield
My music is constantly changing because I am. I'm writing it and changing as I'm writing.
Anne-Marie
