“Most bands don't even last fourteen months let alone fourteen years.”
Peter Steele
“What (some) bands do is go, 'It's not important that I'm a girl, it's just important that I want to rock.' And that's cool. But that's more of an assimilationist thing. It's like the 'just want to be allowed to join the world as it is'; whereas I'm more into revolution and radicalism and changing the whole structure. What I'm into is making the world different fo me to live in.”
Kathleen Hanna
“I don't want to go and see a band that has no original members, ... Or if the drummer was the original member, and it was a surf band -- I don't care. The upfront guys really matter to me.”
Bruce Howard
“Right, right, he saw his power slipping away. And he said, "Now I'd better join the band here." They gave us their support. It was going along quite well.”
Charles Phillips
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? / Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? / Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? / Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? / Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are? / Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? / Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, / When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? / Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, / When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? / Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.”
Bible
“We've always tried to do different things with the sound of the band, but with this record we've tried to keep the essence of what it is to be a rock 'n' roll band at the forefront. I suppose that is a radical sound because there's not that much of it out there.”
The Edge
“When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.”
Mike Shinoda
“Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young.”
Graham Nash
“We’ll never ever be as good on record as we are live because we’re not a full band unless those kids are there. We ride the ripples of that emotional tide like at a movie theatre. If there’s any artistry to what I do, any gift that I have, it’s that somehow I’ve been able to tap into that. People have told me that I guide it. I don’t think so – I think I ride it…That’s what I’ll miss most when it’s all over. But maybe I’ll just go to more movies.”
Chris Carrabba
“Some of us (band members) have September birthdays, and we wanted to have a party.”
David Lowery
