Bands Quotes
I hear a lot of bands complain about touring, and it does get to be a bit emotionally draining. But you have to put it into context: It's just a bunch of shows.
Jim Adkins
Jimmy Eat World
And rock being a male-dominated, testosterone-driven place that I've been in the eye of the hurricane now for several years, I realized that it can be a place that can perpetuate homophobic behavior unless it's addressed by bands like us.
Tim McIlrath
Rise Against
Bands rise and surface in the British press so regularly that, for the most part, unless something really catches my ear, I feel like, 'Oh, if they're still around in two years, I'll see what they're up to.'
Lee Ranaldo
Sonic Youth
Too many bands are scared to show emotions these days. They seem to think it’ll stop them being cool or something. We’ve never been cool. We’ve always been into emotionally charged music.
Tim Rice-Oxley
Keane
It's more about what was going on in town at that time, the places and the bands. Our band was in the center of all that. That was a special time.
J. M. Roberts
Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.
Mike McCready
Pearl Jam
Bands don’t have MTV and there seems to be a lot less radio. There are no D.J.s anymore and whatever D.J.s are left are not given a choice. Now they just record their part at home and everything gets fed into a computer. I did an interview recently at a radio station, huge building, but when I got in there it was practically empty.

A Flock of Seagulls
Most bands people have side projects and it's not considered a death threat as it was say, with The Beatles.
Stevie Nicks
Fleetwood Mac
Other bands wanted to wreck hotel rooms; Roxy Music wanted to redecorate them.
Bryan Ferry
Roxy Music
Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone's perception of the band.
John William Cummings
Ramones
Yo La Tengo were a major inspiration for me because they're one of the first bands that I got into on my own, separate from my parents, when I was in high school. I have all their albums. That's the place we'd like be in someday.

Some of my favourites... there's the classics like Blur and Oasis and Pulp, Suede and The Charlatans, The La's, The Smiths, The Cure, stuff like that. That was a huge part of my teen-years and bands I still listen to right through to this day, but it had a huge bearing on me as a teen and it was some of my favourite music, and is still to this day some of my favourite music.
