Rock Quotes
-
The future of rock belongs to women.
Kurt Cobain Nirvana -
You know in America the general consensus is that rock is dead. Ever since the alternative thing came in. With rock, it's like they just don't want to know about it.
John Sykes
-
Surely as a man may say of a rock--nothing more quiet, because it is never stirred; and yet nothing more unquiet, because it is ever assaulted--so we may say of the church--nothing more peaceable, because it is established upon a rock; and yet nothing more unpeaceable, because that rock is in the midst of seas, winds, enemies, and persecutions.
Edward Reynolds -
Love is not enough. But, it is the rock on which all else stands.
Nora Roberts -
With lyrics for me, it's usually musically-based. It's not really poetry- or writer-based. It's rock-based. It doesn't mean that I'm aping rock lyrics, but I'm writing from a music standpoint. I'm thinking more of music heroes, if they're in my mind. Not William Blake or John Ashbury. Sometimes maybe I thought of him a little bit. Or Wallace Stevens. I don't even really fully understand either of them.
Stephen Malkmus Pavement -
Frank Zappa... was Beethoven for insane rock guys.
Scott Ian Anthrax -
Rock should never be in bed with politics.
Alice Cooper -
The problem in America is, the 'alternative' scene isn't alternative anymore. It's just all these metal bands who cut off their fucking hair. I mean, Live is a really stodgy old rock group. We don't feel comfortable being lumped in with a scene like that.

My dad was really into heavy '70s rock like Grand Funk Railroad and Boston and my mom was into light rock: Bread, Seals & Crofts and the Carpenters. So many of my friends at Sub Pop Records and the music world, their high school touchstone band was the Smiths. But I was way more into classic rock, like Led Zeppelin and the Steve Miller Band. I was more into the redneck Midwest music bands more than anything else.
Eric Johnson -
The fact that I let you back into my bed is the proof that I've hit rock bottom.
Bill Willingham -
I need to keep my classical roots and classical technique because it always kinda easier to play even in a rock group. I of course concentrate little bit more in classical music, while in rock you can be more free improvise, do crazy stuff with the instrument.
Perttu Kivilaakso -
Progressive rock is a flexible medium for dramatic storytelling because it lends itself perfectly to the extended song format.
David Longdon -
I am not sure that it is best for us, once safe and secure on the Rock of Ages, to ask ourselves too closely what this and that experience may signify. Is it not better to be thinking of the Rock, not of the feet that stand upon it?
Elizabeth Prentiss -
Your heart is not living intil it has experienced pain... the pain of love breaks open the heart, even if it is as hard as a rock.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
-
Maybe people are finally tiring of watered down grunge rock on the radio.
Brian Christian -
To me the most important thing is getting into a studio and making an album that is 12 or 14 amazing songs, getting up onstage, and making people happy by livening the rock.
Dave Grohl Nirvana -
I've always wanted the IQ of a rock. No, wait. That would be an insult to the rock.
Julie Kagawa -
What the world needs now is to rock! We’re back....forget the past, the time is now!
Eric Jayk -
My dad took me to all the best rock and punk shows when I was growing up and music has always been a part of my life. So I'm very interested in the music scene and I suppose that's why I've ended up going out with musicians. Dave Pirner is still one of my best friends.
