I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing.
Layne Staley

We started this band as kids, and as time has gone on, we've grown and are learning to accommodate each others' differences.
Layne Staley

And I came back and it was great, 'cuz George had set up all these flowers all over the studio saying welcome home. So then we got it together again. I always felt it was better on the White one for me. We were more like a band, you know.
Ringo Starr

I couldn't put my finger on one reason why we broke up. It was time, and we were spreading out. They were spreading out more than I was. I would've stayed with the band.
Ringo Starr

And the White Album is important to me for different reasons. One - I had left the band on the White Album.
Ringo Starr

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.
Keith Richards

There's no substitute for live work to keep a band together.
Keith Richards

I was a good amateur but only an average professional. I soon realized that there was a limit to how far I could rise in the music business, so I left the band and enrolled at New York University.
Alan Greenspan

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.
David Bowie

Nothing makes a man feel older than to hear a band coming up the street and not to have the impulse to rush downstairs and out on to the sidewalk.
Robert Benchley

Lawyer acted without authority from our band. He had no right to sell the Wallowa country.
Chief Joseph

Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band.
Gene Simmons

I wanted to be in a band that gave bang for the buck. I wanted to be in the band who didn't look like a bunch of guys who, you know, should be in a library studying for their finals.
Gene Simmons

No. Better research needed. Fire your research person. No fishnet stockings. Never. Not in this band.
Gene Simmons

I'm in a weird band. We've done very well. The American Dream is alive and well.
Gene Simmons

I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
Ritchie Blackmore

Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only.
Ritchie Blackmore

As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.
Steven Tyler

It was very difficult for me to be the only lyricist in the band.
Steven Tyler

I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.
