We want to stay on this tour bus together as long as we possibly can. I'm sure a lot of bands are like, 'I need my own space.' But we don't. I want to be with these guys forever.
Hillary Scott

We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances.
Kirk Hammett

We went into that knowing that we were never going to sell a major record 'cause we didn't sound like these bands, so I just thought this was an opportunity for us to make the kind of records that we wanted and make some money at the same time.
Buzz Osborne

We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!
Geezer Butler

We were lumped into the Lite Metal radio bands.
Kip Winger

We were playing a small club in San Diego and the power had gone out in the building. Eddie had a lighter and kept us lit backstage. We became very good friends and spent a lot of time together including hearing Eddie sing in some of the bands he was in at the time.
Jack Irons

We were watching bands like the Ramones and Blondie and other bands beginning to ignite.
Jerry Only

We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?
Jon Bon Jovi

When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands, which I'm cool with, I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.
David Coverdale

When I first started playing in a band, before the Beatles, working bands played standards and they saved their rock material til the end of the night when they were really stretched out. It could be pretty lame.
Wayne Kramer

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.
Evan Dando

When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
Charlie Watts

When I was in top 40 bands, I always had to learn new material and new styles.
Kenneth Edmonds

When it comes to girl bands, we're all rivals.
Jenny Frost

When kids can't afford to see it anymore maybe we'll have a whole resurgence of garage bands all over America and this New Wave thing will start to mean something on a grass roots level.
Lester Bangs

When the band begins to get a name for themselves, and the writers get assigned to bands, they'll hit somebody who just doesn't like that kind of music, or they love hip hop but hate guitar rock.
Kim Deal

When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.
Geezer Butler

Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.
David Coverdale

Yeah, my son likes a lot of guitar bands. He gave me something the other day which was really good. He'll burn a CD for me full of things that he has, so he's a pretty good call if I want to check some of that stuff out... The other two aren't quite into that yet.
Bruce Springsteen
