Band Quotes
-
I was very shy when I was younger. But I did have a terrible temperament. I would get angry very quickly, but the rest of the time I was this big goofball, playing the drums in a band and making out with girls.
Jeremy Renner

Our families and friends all understand what we're going through. We try to have time for everything and everyone, but sometimes that's just impossible. With our success comes a lot of extra responsibility, and we have to be prepared to make sacrifices for the band. Right now Def Leppard comes before anything else; that's the way it has to be, whether we like it or not. We're all like brothers in this band, and we owe each other the time and effort required to keep us on top.
Steve Clark
Def Leppard

Certainly, there are huge, multiplatinum bands whose singers command their audience's attention. Sadly, much of the time they have little to say.

Black Flag

I started playing in my first band when I was 12. I like to date myself by saying I was in a New Age band when it wasn't ironic; it was actually called new wave because it was new.
James Murphy

I feel really lucky that I somehow have blagged my way into loads of different experiences. I find making a film fascinating, I find making a play amazing, and working with my band and scoring things... it's all really cool. I'm just a glutton for experience, really.
Johnny Flynn

If anyone saw Fall Out Boy's first 400 shows, we were the worst band of all time.

If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!

To do a musical takes a tremendous amount of energy because you have to act and sing at the same time. And everything has to be precise. Because you can't forget the lyrics because the band keeps playing, you know, and you're under a certain amount of pressure.
Alan Alda
-
Drugs are fine for you alone at home, but when it comes to being a family, which a band is, it just messes everything up.
Zachary Cole Smith

I think I like to be in control of things a little bit, but in the band I think I’m a bit more of a burrowing animal, you know? I like to find a safe place.
Nick Arrojo

I had a drummer in my band who started teaching me tricks to come up with interesting rhythms. Because I don't come from a musical background, I've never studied music, and I don't know music theory at all, so a lot of stuff I discover on my own are things students would learn in the first grade of music.
Jens Lekman

Panic! at the Disco, for me, has been an outlet to do whatever. I never felt like there were any rules. It was always carte blanche. I could do whatever I wanted. There were no rules set yet for the band. It just felt right.
Brendon Urie

For bighorns, topography is memory, enhanced by acute vision. They can anticipate the land's every contour--when to leap, where to climb, when to turn, which footholds will support their muscular bodies. To survive, this is what the band would have to do: make this perfect match of flesh to earth.
Ellen Meloy
-
I like to open for a band as it brings on sort of a challenge and it makes things more interesting. It reminds me of when we were just starting out because we would open for other bands in the beginning.
Kelly Jones

So I just try to be me and feel the songs and feel the energy of the band with me.
Jeff Gutt
Stone Temple Pilots
-
I don't play any instruments. I don't produce. I don't know which keys or chords I am using, so, in essence, I need the band and the production team - otherwise, I am just some guy with a hat and a song.
Lukas Forchhammer
