“A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds.”
David Lee Roth
“If sh*tty ass rock dudes, in sh*tty ass rock bands, ask you to show your tits for backstages passes, I want you to spit in their f*ucking faces and scream F*CK YOU!”
Gerard Way
“All great rock bands have a little dirt in their faces.”
Billie Joe Armstrong
“A lot of rock bands had to step up to the plate and create a stronger message. That's the reason that hip-hop is so dominating, is that there's a true message behind what they're doing.”
“When I was a kid, my influences were just my early friends' punk rock bands and listening to the radio,”
Mike Dirnt
“Maybe if I get off the road and stop playing with punk rock bands, there'll be a lot more records. It would probably involve me getting out of the conventional music business as we know it and heading more towards a self-sufficient, self-structured release-type thing. I wouldn't expect a regular label to keep up with the amount of stuff that I've got, or the amount of stuff I would have if I could just sit in a room and just write music.”
Bob Mould
“Back in the day, we had a lot of rock bands but just a handful of blues and R&B musicians. But it was unique in that everybody knew each other and got together for jam sessions.”
Burton Stahl
