Rock N Roll Quotes
-
You can really bring so much more to rock'n'roll. Rock'n'roll is the most accepting, is the most fertile ground for creating hybrid forms of music and hybrid forms of show, if you draw from many, many different wells. It's just unfortunate so many rock'n'roll stars only bother to learn how to play like Led Zeppelin and/or the Rolling Stones and that's what you get, disc after disc and show after show.
David Lee Roth
Van Halen

Rock 'n' roll and playing live is very addictive. But you have to really be careful, because you don't want to do it all the time. It's like when you are young and you think if you are not having sex you're wasting your time. But as you get older you realise everything has its place. It's the same thing with performing.... Performing is a great thing to do but you don't want to have to be doing it every night.
Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones

I have no intention of dying young and being some stinking rock'n'roll person.
Courtney Love
-
On 'Hairless Toys,' I've tried to create an ambiguous character to go with an ambiguous record. She's anything but rock n' roll - she's so not rock n' roll that, in a twisted way, she's kind of radical. She's like someone from my memory, almost like my mother, and she's lost in some space-time between the 1960s and the late '80s.
Róisín Murphy

I was pissed off about a lot of things...so much shitty rock ’n’ roll that angered me, and Pussy Galore was kicking against that. With the Blues Explosion, there was some of that, but now I was into celebrating it.
John Spencer
No Doubt

The soul of rock 'n' roll is mistakes, and making mistakes work for you. The people who shy away from mistakes and play it safe have no business playing rock 'n' roll.
Paul Westerberg
The Replacements

You think of rock ‘n’ roll and you think of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, You think of tons of strippers and mounds of cocaine and people destroying hotel rooms and stuff like that. But none of that happens with us. At least not yet, We’ve destroyed dressing rooms…but it was with fruit.
Chris Kilmore

How about a cheer for all those bad girls!
And all those boys that play that rock 'n' roll!
They love it like you love Jesus.

When I see footage of Guns N' Roses, I see that fu**ing hunger and attitude. You could not f**k with those five guys. It was just raw. It was this lean, hungry thing on its way up. It was as sincere as any rock 'n' roll that I've ever heard, and I'm proud of that.
Slash
Guns N' Roses
-
For me, my awkward phase corresponded to an interest in rock n' roll. From experience, I'm guessing an insecure childhood is probably quite a common thing among people who start a rock band.
David Howell Evans
U2

Rock 'n roll was born in the South. It's like saying rock-rock.
Gregory LeNoir Allman
The Allman Brothers Band

Hard rock will always be hard rock, but you don't really know what is rock - and what isn't - anymore.
I don't consider a lot of the pop things I hear on the radio to be rock 'n' roll. It's just kind of fragmented.
Alice Cooper
