I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly.
Bruce Springsteen

I hadn't performed by myself in a while. It feels very natural to me, and I assume people come for the very same reasons as they do when I'm with the band: to be moved, for something to happen to them.
Bruce Springsteen

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
Bruce Springsteen

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.
Bryan Adams

We're not a political band. We don't want to tell people what to do or what to think. We just want to tell them to think.
Billie Joe Armstrong

I don't do drugs anymore... than, say, the average touring funk band.
Bill Hicks

When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that they obviously like and then they dance the whole time.
John Hughes

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.
Steven Tyler

Nothing is ever a barometer. Nothing is ever for sure except that this band has been around forever.
Steven Tyler

The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.
Steven Tyler

Christ: I dislike him very much. Still, I can stand him. What I cannot stand is the wretched band of people whose profession is to hoodwink us about him.
Samuel Butler

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

Usually I can hear the pianos, the saxophone, and usually I can hear Ronnie. But I really need to listen to Keith and Mick. The rest of the band is sort of an embellishment to that.
Charlie Watts

We were a country band with a social conscience.
Kinky Friedman

I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.
Waylon Jennings

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it's strange.
Megan Fox

Major labels blow all their money massively and blame it on the band.
Bruce Dickinson
