Band Quotes
-
We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world.
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
-
I've never really been interested in replicating the record in live performance, because I'd just get bored. When I was young I used to go and see bands and, even if it was my favorite band, I'd get bored after twenty minutes.
James Dean Bradfield
Manic Street Preachers
-
I just wanted to do my own thing after The Murderdolls. The Murderdolls were so spread out all across the US that we couldn't just say, "Let's go rehearse." For us we had like four days to rehearse because everyone had to book flights, so we just never got as tight as most bands should be.
Joseph Michael Poole
-
If I start to go around and look for stuff that's being written about me or about the band, chances are I'm not going to find what I'm looking for or what I'd want to be hearing. If I go out and look for it and it's out there, I'm really going to notice when it's not. And I'd hate to think that that would impact any decisions I'm making.
Tad Kubler
-
A lot of bands have managed to borrow parts of our style for their music. That's fine with me, because we've borrowed from people like the Stones. But we don't want to sound like we're copying anyone, including ourselves, so we're moving on.
Steven Tyler
Aerosmith

When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.
Mike Shinoda

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.
Eric Burdon
-
I enjoyed my time in the band, we have had some misfortunates and the benefits that come from success. It has really worked out for me, I only wish the guys were around to enjoy it. I enjoyed myself and I have managed to be a musician most of my life; it’s really good, it’s kind of dream really.
Joseph Charles "Joey" Molland
Badfinger

Like even the band before Milky Chance, we always wrote in English, but it’s awesome and natural in the way that we listen to a lot of English music always more than German definitely. And it’s just kind of you do what you listen to.
Philipp Dausch
Milky Chance
-

We know in order to get where we want to be and do what we want to be doing, sometimes we have to do what we don't feel like doing. It takes hard work, and the band name is a constant reminder of that.
Tyler Joseph
Twenty One Pilots

I loved 'Rock Lobster.' I probably heard 'Rock Lobster' first at a party or dance. Then we would do the Rock Lobster - get down on the floor and do the whole dance. I thought that was really cool and exciting, that there was actually a band that had their own dance at that point.
Corin Tucker
-
It feels like being in a band is a luxury now: like you can only do it if you're signed really early or you come from a wealthy family.
Jamie Hince
-
So anyway, the show starts, and it's the Army band, and it's all those American 'ra ra' songs, you know that whole 'I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.' And they eat that shit up!
Kathy Griffin
-
I've always been a band guy. That's my wheelhouse. That's what I do.
Frankie Ballard
-
We’re very impatient. We don’t believe that in bands you should dwell on the future. Any band that you and I have listened to, if it’s overworked, if it’s thought about before then, it’s never going to happen. I think you have to be writing, you have to be arguing, you have to be in that environment.
Jules De Martino
The Ting Tings
-
I got in the audition line called 'Making the Band' because I wanted to be in a band. If I didn't, I would have done 'American Idol.'
