Record Quotes
I don't wait on the music industry to qualify me or give me my paycheck. I go about my business as an artist and I believe that my value is in my product and in my art form, and that's why I can't be stopped, because I began producing my record by myself, without a record company.
Perry Farrell
Jane's Addiction
(Even) if this record bombs, it's just another obstacle we have to get over.
Fabrizio Moretti
I'm a believer in what your record is. I am what my record is - some of it good, some of it bad, some of it hard to tell.
Dan Rather
Remember that we're only on our third record, which is not really a lot. We live in the era of trilogies, and we definitely feel like the first three records mark the end of a phase for us.
Chris Martin
Coldplay
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.
Mike Score
A Flock of Seagulls
We probably didn't even consider becoming a guitar band again. We used to be a guitar band when we started out and we've been there. The sounds on this record are really exciting and expressive of the lyrics and the music.
Tim Rice-Oxley
Keane
I'd rather go to the playoffs than not go, even with a losing record. Because once you get there, you never know.
Allen Iverson
For us, we were a "live" band making music that was basically "live" music. There was no need for us to do it longer. We were ready to make a record. And we play and sing at the same time. We didn't do a lot of overdubs. Berton played his lead guitar part. We can play, that's the other thing. The band is actually fairly competent on their instruments.
Doug Fieger
The Knack
I wasted my substance, I know I did, on riotous living, so I did, but there's nothing on record to show I did more than my betters have done.
Rudyard Kipling
I'm a lazy guy. I can't focus for too long. I'd rather hear a record that has no filler.
Thomas Pablo Croquet
Phoenix
We regret that many people have misconstrued our recent advertisement about Mr. Roberts' record.
Nancy Keenan
If the song was upbeat, we'd get out a funky Harry Connick, Jr. album, some Louis Prima big band, or a Bob Wills swing record for inspiration and swing for the fence, hoping to get that 'soundtrack to your life' vibe. And if it was a slow song, we'd go the other way and really make it worshipful.
Bart Millard
MercyMe
Yeah, and everybody who moves out to L.A. gets that Hollywood thing in their blood, and their second record always sounds like shit.And if we end up there,we take it back. --On Fame
Tyson Jay Ritter
The All-American Rejects
Berry's On Top is probably my favorite record of all time; it defines rock and roll. A lot of people have done Chuck Berry songs, but to get that feel is really hard. It's the rock and roll thing-the push-pull and the rhythm of it.
Joe Perry
Aerosmith
I got married and decided I wanted to do a dance record, and I didn't ever expect for it to be what it was or for the 'No Doubt' thing to be such a long break, but it was one of those things where you just had to sort of follow your inspiration.
Gwen Stefani
No Doubt
This is our most complete record by far. A Hundred Million Suns sounds like the marriage of everything we learned from the Jeepster years and the Fiction years made into something new and bolder. Our spikiness and our indie-ness are coming through again with all the poppiness of the last two records. There's a lot of melody here and you can't cloak that whatever you do with it. This album is touched by our entire history, and hopefully sounds like our future too.
Gary Lightbody
Snow Patrol
I always have been very musically influenced because of my dad. He had a very big record collection, so I dabbled in different genres.
Lil Xan
I still write music, and I still have sessions, and I still record, but I have no plans.
Gerard Way
My Chemical Romance
