“When we were a club band, we always used to say, 'Man, if we ever see success, we'd like to open doors for other people, to push the boundaries and fully contribute something to art, to music, that is going to help it evolve instead of doing stuff for the sake of money or doing stuff for the sake of being popular.”
Daron Malakian
“We want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops.”
Simon LeBon
“It takes no genius to observe that a one-man band never gets very big”
Charles Garfield
“Metallica's the only band i've ever been in. I'm not sure that when it ends in five, ten years, I'm going to put an ad in the paper saying, 'stupid drummer looking for stupid people to play music with.' Metallica is it and I think when that ceases that's it.”
Lars Ulrich
“I do have a feeling about bands that cannot get it on, ... When I was a kid, I had guitar heroes: Jimmy Page, Michael Schenker, Angus Young. Hot players. You can't name one guitar player in any of the new bands that is a virtuoso.”
Dave Mustaine
“I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals.”
Gerard Butler
“We knew when we started this band that a lot of our appeal was going to be in the teen market. We knew that's who buys records; kids in college burn CDs.”
