Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.
John Bonham

Now I'm fortunate to have a good band in CA, and play many solo gigs as well. My point is that I stopped playing in bands and played solo for four years, to get back into the groove and pulse of writing and singing and who I am on stage.
Arthur Godfrey

Now my main goal is my solo career, so I want to keep doing that.
Paul Taylor

Now that I'm coming out with my own record people can see I'm a solo artist.
John Legend

Now that I'm staring down the barrel of the last act of my life, I'm less excited about control and solo effort, and I resent the way the business aspects interfere with my space for creative writing.
David Knopfler

On Ain't No Telling I came up with the bass solo.
Noel Redding

On those long notes behind the trumpet solo, if anyone lets his mind wander for a minute he is dead.
Don Ellis

Over the years, I was never really driven to become a solo artist, but I was curious to find out who I was as an individual creative person. It's taken some time, but now I feel I've truly paid my dues. I guess I'm at a point now where I'm more comfortable in my own skin.
Annie Lennox

Overall, we had about 50 meetings where the brothers would say that I couldn't do any solo records, I couldn't write for other people, I couldn't do this and I couldn't do that. These guys were trying to nail my feet to the ground.
Sammy Hagar

People don't realize you're blowing over changes, time changes, harmony, different keys. I mark a point in my solo where it's got to peak at point D I go to A, B, C D then I'm home.
James McBride

People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.
John Cale

Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn't angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn't understand why Robin had done it.
Maurice Gibb

Since I was the solo artist as well as the writer for the songs, I figured I had enough credits on it already.
Cy Coleman

So you do shorter versions of the hits, or you take out a long guitar solo or things like that to make time for the hits and new music as well. But I don't think any of us ever get to do as much new music as we would like to.
Lee Ann Womack

Solo concerts are murder, I find; I don't like doing them.
Derek Bailey

That was the producer who produced a couple of my solo albums. He produced my second, third and fourth solo albums. It was his project and I just joined him on it. I sang on one and played bass on another one.
John Entwistle

That's what my music... I'm working on a solo record right now, it's gonna be more hip-hop than anything, like electronic hip-hop, futuristic hip-hop. I'm probably gonna be rapping on it.
Alan Vega

The band projects just took natural priority. I didn't really have a solo career, just wanted to share the music in another way and to learn more about writing, recording, etcetera.
Ken Hensley

The good thing about flying solo is it's never boring.
Steve Fossett

The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric's vocals. There's never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together.
Alan Price
