Record Quotes
It's the worst feeling, going into your record label when you haven't got a hit. It was like: 'Maybe you've lost it.' And, once you're done, that's it. There's no support, or anyone to help you.
Jonas Blue
When I was 14 years old, I used to record stuff off the radio and do mixes with the pause button on my cassette player. I’ve always loved doing mixes. I never liked sport or anything like that. Mixing tunes together was just what I always wanted to do...
Liam Howlett
The Prodigy
It's quite a mistake to think that music fans don't work on major record companies. Sometimes, you know, you do find some good people on corporates, among all the infidels.
James Dean Bradfield
Manic Street Preachers
I wrote half the record in 2002, which basically concluded with us releasing "Baby's Got A Temper," the last single. I think after the disappointment of that record for myself with the lack of energy and the way the record came out, I would say that was probably the low point of The Prodigy.

Just give me a record. You give me a guitar, I'll probably hit a ball with it.
Ilie Nastase
I always just wanted to have the wherewithal to make another record. I never really dreamt of fortune or fame, because it seemed so unlikely. I'm much more interested in people's perceptions of me than what my life is really like. It appears that some people think it's all cocaine and caviar for Okkervil River. And it's not. I'm making a little bit more than I was making at the video store right now.
Will Sheff
Okkervil River
I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.
Jack White
The White Stripes
The success definitely shocked me a little, I can’t believe how people gravitated to it. It’s been an amazing record, I definitely didn’t think that it was going to get to the level that it got, but I’m happy that it resonated.
Jordan Davis
I want to personally thank all the participants in this outing for providing a record amount of support to benefit children in need.
Bob Kaufman
If someone wants to sticker a record for whatever reason, that's fine. But once it affects someone's opportunity to, you know, get that record, then I have a problem with it.
Scott Ian
Anthrax
We're happy with what we've achieved. Every record we've made has furthered the growth of our line of success. It's never disappeared or gone backward: each record sells more, each tour is bigger.
Kim Thayil
Soundgarden
I went through this difficult time [in the 1984] when we were making our third record where I kind of lost my mind. That's when the bulimia kicked in. And that's when I got really freaky.
Michael Stipe
R.E.M.
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 think I was making a Stephen Fearing record, and I mentioned to someone that the Tragically Hip were talking to me about working with them. The Canadians in the room couldn't believe it, as if the Beatles were getting back together again and asking me to produce them. I have to say, as an American, it's different; they're not exactly a national treasure here.
Steve Berlin
Los Lobos
I really wanted the first record to be different from what I'd done with Genesis, so we were trying to do things in different styles.
Peter Gabriel
Genesis
I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.
Winona Ryder
I think all musicians and producers, they know the real goal is to come up with a record that is entertaining and not boring, that's the goal. I think if everyone agrees that that's the goal then it doesn't matter who's the band and it doesn't matter who's the producer. It just means that that you try to realise the ambition no matter what the situation is or who the people are.
Black Francis
Pixies
I'm 34 now, I like to say 35 because it makes me look better for my age, and I have to keep a little bit of a profile so that every three years if I do put a record out, I don't have to substantiate where I've been for three years and why the silence and the sort of false mysterioso.
Chrissie Hynde
Pretenders
