Record Quotes
If I didn't love it, I would not record it.
Alicia Keys
One half was like, I hope this doesn't affect it, and the other half was like, it's great that people know I did a Beyoncé record.
Bryce Wilson
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
Rascal Flatts
When we were making the record, I just decided, at the last second. I thought, "This song ["Ordinary World"] makes a lot of sense, being on the album [Revolution Radio]."
Billie Joe Armstrong
Green Day
We have nothing to crow about, our home record has been atrocious, we've got a long ways to go before we feel we're on top.
Phil Jackson
If I'm working on a set of songs, and thinking about putting them together in a collection, I start to think about what they have in common. Either on purpose or without meaning to, I shape them all in the same kind of way, because I'd rather the album feel like a galaxy of things that all have to do with each other. I do that with sonic elements, too - it's a matter of each record having its own specific identity.
Will Sheff
Okkervil River
Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.
Jimmy Page
Led Zeppelin
Beyoncé can handle any record you put in front of her. Any record that pushes her in that direction, it would have been good to be on the project.
Bryce Wilson
When we've got something to say to the world, we will. I'm really happy that people are interested. "So, what's up with the Pixies record? So, what's up with the Pixies record?" One guy just kept asking me and asking me in an interview, and I kept saying, "I just got done telling you no, there's nothing to report."
Black Francis
Pixies
One of the most harmful things in the music industry is 'record-by-committee,' where 10 people from the label gather around, and they make you write a 100 songs and decide which one's a hit. That takes the inspiration out of it.
Benji Madden
Good Charlotte
It's better to not set your expectations high. And that's what happens when you have a long career - not every album is going to be record setting.
Scott Weiland
Stone Temple Pilots
It made my career. I mean I'd had a few charted songs before, but when Urban Cowboy came out, hell, I got my first gold record, my first gold album, got a triple platinum album, a platinum album... It catapulted my career to what it has been for the last 35 years.
Johnny Lee
I write songs; I record them. When I get enough, and it seems like a coherent piece, I call it an album.
Timothy B. Schmit
The Eagles
... it takes several years of serious fishing before a man learns enough to go through a whole season with an unblemished record of physical and spiritual anguish.
Ed Zern
I recorded 80 per cent of the record in my guest bedroom; then, when 'Shine' went to number one on one of the charts, the label called and said, 'Can you do an EP?' Then, 'Can you do a full length? And can you do it in two weeks?'
Joshua Ostrander
I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
Ben Harper
You could put this record on and not get jarred half-way through. I wanted it to be all cut from one cloth, and that was the way we took it through the whole production process.
Jules Shear
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
