Record Quotes

“I just make music. — The music I make, I make for myself,” he continued, “I’m the number one guy for me to please.” He is not one to force a track into a specific genre and would never create a record with the intentions of critical reception. “Sometimes 10 million people love what I do, sometimes 500 do… I have massive hits with some tracks, and some other tracks have stayed in the underground.”
Eric Prydz
Swedish House Mafia
-
When you make a record, you listen to it literally hundreds of times. When it's done and you can't do anything else, I never listen to my records.
Loudon Wainwright III
-
I think the music has evolved from what it was on the first record. The first one was sort of about things going on around us growing up in a small town. This one is sort of personal to me.
Adam Gontier
Three Days Grace

People always say 'Etta, you know what your problem is? You're neither fish nor fowl. There is no place to rack you.' When I would go in a record shop, you might find one or two records by me in different stacks.
Etta James
-
When I was a tiny tot, we only had one record player in the house, so there was either Genesis on it or the Jungle Book or The Beatles as well, and various other things.
Chris Martin
Coldplay
-
The early Billy Joel stuff I fell in love with, like Glass Houses, is a real rock record.
Gavin DeGraw

Just saw an orthodox Jewish kid do 3 pull-ups on the scaffolding. Shattering the previous record.
Gary Gulman
-
It has always been Cramer's strategy to place inventory at the core of the OSS, as opposed to providing a passive database of record. The power of inventory at the core means that we can use the inventory to drive the systematic integration of wider OSS functionality within one, converged platform.
Don Gibson

I don't listen to anybody's full record anymore and when I did, I don't think I listened to the whole record. I'm sorry, and I don't care who it is, if it's the Beatles, I can't listen to an hour and a half of anybody straight so I guess that's just my personal preference.
Tommy Lee
Mötley Crüe
-
I like to support local record stores.
Parker Posey
-
We wanted the freedom to be playful, to experiment and do what we felt like doing, but we were heavily affected by the success that the first record gave us.

Chance in music doesn't have to involve the I Ching or rolling dice or throwing yarrow stalks. It can involve an out-of-tune guitar, or other impossible-to-replicate moments of awkwardness - even more so than an awkward, out-of-tune live performance, because there's something incredible about the way that an out-of-tune guitar becomes part of the song on a record. I won't be precious and say it's part of the composition - that's nonsensica l - but chance occurrences are so crucial to what's distinctive. It's the fingerprints all over so many of these recordings.
David Grubbs
-
I realize that 'Postcards' was like input, and 'Ghostwriting' was output. I had all these frustrations and feelings before I did those two projects. 'Postcards' was something that brought new life and creative inspiration into the record, while 'Ghostwriting' was relieving myself.
Jens Lekman
-
I don't physically put Appetite For Destruction in and listen to it, but I hear it on the radio or at sporting events or wherever else it pops up, and it's great. I dig everything about it. When I hear Appetite, it sounds like exactly what it was. It sounds like a record made by an angry bunch of kids.
Slash
Guns N' Roses
-
I like working together with different producers. Of course the process is different, producing a new track is like creating something all new, while reworking an already existing track is more like giving your own twist to the record.
Martin Garrix
Area21
-
I think that no one human being would have been able to look at [a hypothetical photographic record of the Nazi gassing of Jews]... I would have preferred to destroy it. It is not visible.
Claude Lanzmann
-
September 11 definitely opened our eyes, but when I was 19 or whatever on the last record, we just didn't care about anything. We were too young to care about anything. And then as you get older, you don't really have any excuse to be stupid anymore, to be in the dark. That just kind of opened everyone's eyes (which I probably wish it did to more people) that there's obviously something wrong, to try and figure out what it is and what's going on in the world.
Deryck Whibley
Sum 41

We think Cyclorama - our most recent studio album - is a great record and everyone that has taken the time to listen to agrees with me.
James Young
Styx
