“I feel a little bit ridiculous. I've been listening to that 'No. 1' album by The Beatles and it kicks the crap out of our album, but it's still kind of you to vote (for us).”
Dave Matthews Band
“When I make albums, I do a lot of songwriting but not necessarily a whole album. I like to listen to other songs to get a different point of view and to learn. I'm young. I have a lot to learn.”
Luis Fonsi
“I grew up listening to albums by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix, and they all worked on that multi-layered level.”
Dave Navarro
“The funniest thing is I listen on some of those bootleg albums, and I remember on two tours I wasn't playing with one finger at all because I'd done damage to it. One time I'd ripped it on a fence or something, another time I got it crushed. So when I hear a wrong note, I think wait a minute... But, I wouldn't have the nerve to do it now.”
Jimmy Page
“It's kind of cool that we've quietly been selling a million albums. We knew (the album) wasn't going to debut at No. 1. I'm stoked to see us being successful again.”
Jacoby Shaddix
“I like double albums, ... And this was kind of a double album. And with double albums, sometimes you say, 'Well this is a whole lot to process.' But then you listen to it again and you start to develop favorites and it gets a character all its own. And then you think maybe you see this movie later on TV and you start to think, 'Well, you know what? I get it. That all these themes are supposed to be part of a bigger simpler theme.'”
Cameron Crowe
“Anyone who listens to the 'Jerusalem' album will discover that Steve Earle remains a thoughtful singer who has chosen to incorporate current events into his poet's vision.”
