My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits.
Sue Grafton

No, I do it all, but I do love to play solo.
Bruce Hornsby

Nobody told Don Henley or me that we were going to make it as solo artists, but I can speak for Don when I say that we are both really happy now that the band is not together.
Glenn Frey

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
