Rock Quotes
-
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch

I used to play Saturday night shows with different little groups. If I could get a show, I would do it. I used to do mad things - I used to go and do these shows and go on my knees and roll on the ground - when I was 15,16 years old. And my parents were extremely disapproving of it all. Because it was just not done. This was for very low-class people, remember. Rock & roll singers weren't educated people.
Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones

Honestly, with pop and rock and things, artists are from all over the place, so they're kind of isolated. The city of Nashville helps create the camaraderie. Everyone moves there for the same reason.

You gotta remember: we're musicians... we're just crazy people who can't get along sometimes. I've definitely come to the table with my knife in my pocket a couple of times; you know how it is. It's part of being human. Now add fame and money and all that rock and roll craziness to it - we're lucky we don't eat each other in this industry!
Corey Taylor
Stone Sour

Way to rock lil' homie. Much Love.
Gary Payton

The people you would have overdose on drugs never would. Like Mötley Crüe would never fucking overdose, man, never. You could put them in a room with two tons of crack, they'd come out half an hour later, goin 'ROCK ON MAN!'
Denis Leary

We're a rock band. We're proud of it. We're not an art band, a noise band, or an extreme band.

I remember the first time I was booked into a jazz club. I was scared to death. I'm not a jazz artist. So I got to the club and spotted this big poster saying, 'Richie Havens, folk jazz artist.' Then I'd go to a rock club and I'm billed as a 'folk rock performer' and in the blues clubs I'd be a 'folk blues entertainer.'
Richie Havens

There's no new direction. It's not more poppy or more rocky. They're just rock'n'roll tunes. I'll never change the music I write.
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
-
Roads go ever ever on, Over rock and under tree, By caves where never sun has shone, By streams that never find the sea; Over snow by winter sown, And through the merry flowers of June, Over grass and over stone, And under mountains of the moon. Roads go ever ever on Under cloud and under star, Yet feet that wandering have gone Turn at last to home afar. Eyes that fire and sword have seen And horror in the halls of stone Look at last on meadows green And trees and hills they long have known.
J. R. R. Tolkien
-
When I grew up, there was one music: rock n' roll. Somewhere along the line, there was a separation. I don't know why it happened, but it did happen.
Clarence Clemons
-
Stand through life firm as a rock in the sea, undisturbed and unmoved by its ever-rising waves...
Hazrat Inayat Khan

I'm a big fan of gospel music, and you cannot be a fan of rock and roll, you cannot be a fan of country western music, and you can't really be a fan of jazz without listening to a lot of music that's religious.
Penn Jillette

If you are feeling good, you look good, you are confident about yourself, you are going to go out there, and you will rock it.
Michelle Carter

When you truly understand one thing—a hawk, a juniper tree, a rock—you will begin to understand everything.
Ellen Meloy

I really do listen to all types of music, not only rock, but everything from good pop music - which is usually older pop music - to RB and indie rock. I love indie rock more than a lot of the commercial stuff that you'd expect.
Amy Lee
Evanescence

Every time we turn over a rock in the mutual fund industry these days, we are seeing vermin crawl out that are appalling: Late trading; timing by those in the executive boardroom; billions of dollars being scraped off that should be going into the pockets of investors instead ending up in the hands of the executives.
Eliot Spitzer
-
The first 3 years the focus would be entirely on ... building a rock solid infrastructure.
Matt Mullenweg
