Record Quotes
I think most musicians know if they make the same record twice, even if they say they don't.
Stephen Malkmus
Pavement
The record in the Federal Court discloses that (the NCI) took sides and sought in every way to hinder, suppress and restrict...(a) treatment of cancer.
Benedict Fitzgerald
It was two extremes of influence being put next to each other: the most electronic music we have on the record and the most old, out-of-style music we have on the record.
Ryan Ross
Panic! at the Disco
Record stores are the hippest libraries. In these tired ole days of homogenized entertainment, where so much of the art of our society is culminated, dumbed-down and mass produced, there is a shining jewel in the rise of the indy record stores. Going to a record shop for me is like a little treasure hunt no one can take you on but yourself. It's fun to look around and see the other shoppers too...totally entrenched in their own adventure, anticipating the reward of heart wrenching, soul filling, joy making music that might just be a bin or a flip away.

You can't really come into a concept record objectively, because you immediately associate it with Yes, stuff from the 1970s that punk rock kicked against, the pretentiousness.
Colin Meloy
It's typical of record companies. They sign you because you're unique, and then they want to put you in a mold so they can sell records.

I stay patient. I don't go out there and try to set a course record. That's probably one of my strengths and one reason I've been able to win major championships.
Annika Sorenstam
We were playing a lot of songs that Kiss hadn't played in years, or haven't played at all. One day, Doc McGhee, the manager, came into the dressing room, and said, 'We really need to film and record this show, because it's so good. It's probably the best Kiss performance I've seen.' So we said, 'OK.' That was the spark that got the whole thing going.
Tommy Thayer
Kiss
Sometimes, I would love to record a super – quiet album, but for some reason, I never really got to that because my heart lies with the heavy stuff.
Floor Jansen
Nightwish
You have to search the absolute demons of your soul to make a great record.
Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day
When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.
Joss Stone
I played 'Eruption' two times for the record, and we kept the one that seemed to flow ... there's a mistake at the top end of it whenever I hear it, I always think, Man I could've played it better ... but I like the way it sounds. I'd never heard a guitar sound like that before.

I loved the thing about Jamaican records, where they’d have a basement where they’d make the records and a pressing plant upstairs and, between the two, they’d have a shop. They’d record the thing, then the next day it’d be on sale as a white label. And Stiff had that vibe to begin with.
Wreckless Eric
You know, I do feel as though it’s more of a follow-up. I mean, we recorded this record live and in the fashion that I really wanted to do that first Bash & Pop record, although it didn’t quite turn out as live a record as we planned. The first one, anyway. So this one actually has more of a live rock ‘n’ roll band feel to it. And I really kinda wanted to make a record where I wasn’t wearing too many hats at once and I could actually, you know, capture some of the essence of a rock band playing live together in the studio.
Tommy Stinson
The Replacements
For every Foo Fighters record, we've had two or three beautiful, acoustic-based songs, but they never usually make their way to the record, because we want to make rock records.
Dave Grohl
Nirvana
I think that anybody can go home, put the record on, and listen to it note for note, but there's very little entertainment value in that, I believe. When you give people something visually entertaining to watch along with presenting the music, I feel it makes it a lot more interesting.
Jay DeMarcus
