Albums Quotes

Steve Clark Def Leppard -
It just seemed like all the records I have made since Creedence Clearwater Revival have all been sort of pushed off center. I felt like I was dancing around the outskirts of what is my true center. With this album, I really wanted to stay on the mark, right in the middle, right where rock 'n' roll is. I wanted this one to be easier, a lot more fun than some of the past records have been.
John Fogerty Creedence Clearwater Revival

Amy Winehouse was not a person I ever met, and I can't say that I am overly conversant in all of her music.

The tone of her voice, her phrasing, her raw appearance - these qualities were extremely captivating to me.
Henry Rollins Black Flag -

Herb Alpert -
Look, you see those groups talking about negativity and anger, and they'd do that for two albums, and then you'd see them change up. I knew they couldn't do a Kurt Cobain on their whole career. You can't stay like that all the time. It's like when Hammer tried to go gangster. You can't be something that you're not.
Prince -
Deep Purple, 'In Rock'. My cousin got me into it. I really dug it and that's why I started playing guitar. There's been other albums over the years, but that was the first one.

Yngwie Johan Malmsteen Alcatrazz -
Basically I made her Sara Pocock listen to funk music for a good month, a nonstop stream of George Clinton. I was talking about the art from...if you look at the art from George Clinton albums there are two or three artists he worked with...I made her listen to my album too so all the images are from jokes I made. I wanted it to look like the thoughts that are coming out of my brain which is what comedy is anyway.

A big part of making an album is that you want to have enough material - you want to have enough stuff for people to hear and know that it represents you.

Music didn't really hit me again until the '90s, when the dancehall scene got going. The '90s were perfect for me. I would have really liked to have had The Slits out in the '90s again, to do tours and albums, because I think the '90s was a brilliant decade for music.
Ari Up
