Record Quotes
-
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
-
I've changed the way I look at things. When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, "This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records." I have fallen into that trap before.
Scott Weiland
Stone Temple Pilots
-
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

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
-
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
-
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
-
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

Fabrizio Moretti
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
I don't have any pressure on myself. I don't have a big record label backing me. I'm doing it all myself.

We were just amazed we were putting out a record. We were, and are, still learning. But we've never cared much for professionalism as long as the energy was there. Like our live shows: We're out of tune and use a lot of feedback. That's not on purpose or because we don't care, we're just musically and rhythmically retarded and we play so hard that we can't tune our guitars fast enough.
Kurt Cobain
Nirvana
-
Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.
Dave Grohl
Nirvana
-
Go to a graduation party, put out a fish bowl, and you have a gold record.
Isaac Slade
The Fray
-
We regret that many people have misconstrued our recent advertisement about Mr. Roberts' record.
Nancy Keenan

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
