Band Quotes
-
They all live in quite separate boxes actually although the Machetes project is beginning to take over my life! They represent and are an inspiration to me and a reminder of where I came from, I am very passionate about this band. I have been working with Erin for so long now she is a part of me and my music. Ian is my oldest and closest friend, we have been striving for the same goals artistically for years now

Being in a boy band, everyone has an opinion of all of us and what we do. There was a time I fought with that.
Ronan Keating
Boyzone

I'm not a big fan of lead vocalists, people who sing but don't play. I never wanted to be in a band where the guy who was up front just sang. I've always thought it better when one of the musicians sings, like Steve Winwood.
Eric Clapton
Blind Faith

Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.

I was only going to shoot you if he was in one band. And only if it had a name like Uncle Toejam's Acid Crematorium or something. But bluegrass is good, and hey, music is MY life too. Maybe I'll actually like the guy (assuming he's around long enough). Just don't write and tell me you're in the process of stirring up some baby Custard-Mustards.
Ellen Wittlinger

I know I'm a really good drummer, but there are tons of great musicians out here and I was just really worried about what the fuck I was gonna do.

I was at a Dolly Parton concert when I was about 9 years old. I saw her at the Ohio State Fair, and it was my first real concert that I'd been to. I saw that crowd and how they reacted and how great of a performer she was and the band. Just the energy of the whole thing collectively really captured me.
