From 1962 to 1965, the guitar became this icon of youth culture, thanks mostly to the Beatles.
Pat Metheny

He made it quite clear that if I didn't play the role, I would be dead within a week. As you can imagine, the guy who turned down Hagrid would be like the guy who called the Beatles a guitar band. So I couldn't possibly refuse, really.
Robbie Coltraine

I can't deal with the press; I hate all those Beatles questions.
Paul McCartney

I didn't know much about him, and I wasn't a big country music fan. I listened to the Beatles and David Bowie, so I didn't know a lot about him.
Joaquin Phoenix

I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.
Mick Taylor

I don't have an iPod. I don't get the whole iPod thing. Who has time to listen to that much music? If I had one, it would probably have Sinatra, Beatles, some '70s music, some '80s music, and that's it.
Scott Baio

I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
Peter Tork

I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
Brian May

I had a guitar when I was 6 or 7, a plastic guitar with the Beatles' faces on it. It would be a collector's item now. It would fetch a hefty sum, I imagine.
Gary Oldman

I had a really good time in New Orleans, although I had some very tragic times in Baton Rouge. Some guys beat me up and threw my horn away. 'Cause I had a beard, then, and long hair like the Beatles.
Ornette Coleman

I just found out last week - my sister told me - that my father had some Beatles records. So I must have heard them quite a bit, but it never registered, really. Now I listen to them with new ears.
Sheryl Lee

I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.
Ziggy Marley

I knew all this Beatles music. I knew the songs phonetically. It was like my whole experience of that music was out of focus, and somebody put the perfect glasses on me, and all of a sudden I could see everything.
Regina Spektor

I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops.
Jon Anderson

I like the Beatles, of course, but that's when I grew up.
Elizabeth Moon

I like the Beatles. They're at the core of my musicality. And John Lennon's my spiritual father.
Esai Morales

I liked the Beatles because there was so much melody. Jimi Hendrix is still one of my heroes.
Robert Cray

I mean, Beatles songs were two and a half minutes long, and they're fantastic.
Billy Sherwood

I met The Beatles and Stones at the same time, because Michael Cooper was doing several of their album covers.
Terry Southern

I play guitar and I love the Beatles and melodic music.
Stephen Dorff
