I listen to Helmet - and I love Helmet, they're a great band - but every song sounds the same.
Adam Jones

This band is a real collaboration, and I'm greatful to anybody who can appreciate our music. It doesn't have to be a certain kind of fan or person or anything. I think there's a little bit of something for everybody on this record.
Krist Novoselic

I was so anxious to succeed that I made a practice of appearing on all the disc jockey shows I could, in order to publicize the band.
Lawrence Welk

It was very interesting, and we went to Germany and we toured Germany like we were a German band in 1985.
Ruben Blades

I love the idea of stepping out of the band situation into a solo world with no boundaries, no expectations, where nothing is out of bounds.
Tommy Shaw

Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.
Matt Cameron

People from major labels were afraid to go to Black Flag gigs throughout most of the band's existence. They treated our gigs as something threatening. I'm sure that it probably was. They probably had reasons to be scared.
Greg Ginn

Actually, when I was in elementary school, I saw a saxophone. A band came to my school, and I saw this guy get up and play this solo. And I said, 'Oh man, what is that! That must be fantastic!'
Ornette Coleman

The band feels loose in all the right ways, and it's just so cool looking out and seeing all of these people that I haven't seen in a while.
Trey Anastasio

I listen to everything that comes in. I'm not real worried about demo sound quality. I can hear through that sort of thing. If a band can play, then they can play.
Greg Ginn

When we played with the Rollins Band, we'd keep songs going until we felt like ending it.
Adam Jones

If you are in a band like my brother, Rudolf, who is in the Scorpions, then you have a kind of umbrella and you cover each other. You have five people to discuss things with and you are all in the same boat, and therefore make much wiser choices.
Michael Schenker

There's no way we could play a country song as well as a country band or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves.
Mike Gordon

Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul.
Wim Wenders

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.
John Oates

Without getting real personal, we liked our bass player Ed. He was a great guy and he was a good bass player but his playing was suited for a different style of band.
Lou Gramm

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.
Sebastian Bach

It's valid that the Strokes and the Pleased have been influenced by some of the same bands. But it's invalid in the sense that we listen to the Strokes and try to sounds like them. I think that they are a good band.
Joanna Newsom

With Dollars And Cents on the album, we had it as a band jam and I sometimes spend evenings playing with records over the top of things we were working on to see what works.
Colin Greenwood

After I quit my band, I definitely was so full, like I'm so full I could never eat again. I had that kind of feeling where the elements, like the touring stuff, were harder for me and I definitely felt fine not experiencing it again.
Jason Schwartzman
