as good as ı am, ı'm nothing without my band.
(bkz: steven tyler)
as you know, ı'm androgynous. ı can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. but you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. ı think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.
(bkz: steven tyler)
a lot of those little things that ı really like doing are just moments of cool articulation, just little moments of phrasing that probably go over everybody's head.

besides being a guitar player, ı'm a big fan of the guitar. ı love that damn instrument.

for us the most important thing is to be visual, and for the cats watching us to have fun. this is all we want. we get very upset if people get bored when we're only half way through smashing the second set. then all of a sudden they hear arnold layne and they flip all over again.
(bkz: roger waters)
ı always used to look at books and wonder how anybody could come up with so many words. but my divorce and then falling in love with somebody else has released in me an ability to write in other ways apart from songs.
(bkz: roger waters)
ı could have been an architect, but ı don't think ı'd have been very happy. nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as ı can see.

ıt's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album, we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'late home tonight, where there's graham broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background, pretending to be a mad arab leader.

there is no way that ı could play music and take any kind of drug at the same time.
(bkz: rick wright)
we fought during 'the wall,' which was an album waters wrote, based on his family story, we clashed long before that, during the period of the dark side and 'wish you were here.' actually, we never got along.
(bkz: rick wright)
we worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. ı can't, like elton john, for example, compose by lyrics. elton has a great talent for that. whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it.

pink floyd is like a marriage that's on a permanent trial separation.

ı just go where the guitar takes me.

* seven eleven’a gittiğinizde insanlar sizi tanıyor. bunu seviyorum. bu yüzden bu işi yapıyoruz. eğlenmek ve ne yapmak istiyorsak onu yapmak için. en sevdiğim şey ise, yolda yürürken yanınızdan bir araba sizin müziğinizi çalarak geçiyor. ve siz oradasınız. çok hoş doğrusu. (rachel bolanskid row)
* kim olduğumu ilan etmeye çalışmıyorum ve herkes gibi o sıradan gözlüklerle, komik şapkaları takmıyorum. bu hiç esrarengiz değil. insanlar beni daha çok sahnede görüyorlar. çekilmiş çok fotoğrafım olmadığı için gerçekte neye benzediğimi bilmiyorlar ve kolaylıkla dolaşıyorum. normal hayatımı yaşıyorum. (angus young, ac/dc)
* sesimin iyi olduğunu düşünmüyorum. ama zaten önemli olan iyi bir sese sahip olmak değil, yorumunun farklı olmasıdır. (stephen malkmus)
* ben bu müziğe çoğu rock starın olduğu gibi ün, kızlar ve başka şeyler için girmedim. elimden geldiğince normal yaşamaya çalışıyorum ama gene de insanlar sizi tanıyor. insanlara, “beni yalnız bırakın, sadece alışveriş yapmak istiyorum” diyemiyorsunuz. (eric brittingham, cinderella )
* tanınmak korkunç bir şey...bu, şuna benziyor. “onun fotoğraflarını alın” ..bu tarz insanlar var. aerosmith, deep purple ve foreigner. bakın robert plant’e. onlar bundan hoşlanıyorlar. tanınmak, sizin işinizi iyi yaptığınızı gösterir ama öbürlerinden iyi çalıp-çalmadığınız anlamına gelmez. tanrı onları korusun!

(dave mustaine, megadeth)

* bir müzisyen gitarını paramparça ettiğinde üzülen birçok insan tanıyorum ama bana inanın, nefret ettiğimiz hep bir gitar oluyor. (richie sambora, bon jovi)
* tüm bu lollapalooza şeyi, tamamen tonlarca para kazanmak için bulunmuş bir zırvalık (all jourgensen, ministry)
* artık uyuşturucu ve içki kullanmıyoruz. ama bu, herşeyi bıraktığımız anlamına gelmemeli. temiz vücutlar ve kirli beyinler. bunlar bizde asla değişmeyecek. ben onunla insanlara dokunmaktan hoşlanıyorum. insanların şunu demesini istiyorum. “vavv! adam bunu çalarken düşünmüş..” bu, sadece oturup bir riff veya solo atmak değil. insanlara müziğimle ulaşmak istiyorum. söylemek istediğim, heyecan ve duygu dağıtmak...bol bol gürültü yapmak da çok keyifli..(scotti hill, skid row) * rock tarihinin bu günlerinde “pearl jam” gibi bir grup “seattle tarzı” gibi bir hareket, rock and roll’u tamamıyle değiştirmek için geliyor. gruplar, çıkardıkları albümlerde çoğu zaman, standart rock etkilerinin üzerinde ağır çizgilerde ilerliyorlar. hit prader dergisi bunun üzerine rock yıldızlarına şu soruyu sormuş: “ müziğinizle başarmak istediğiniz nedir?” . biz 214 tane parça kaydetmek ve onları piyasaya çıkartmak istiyoruz. bu bizim en büyük amacımız. the beatles 213 parça kaydetmiş, ben 214 tane kaydetmek istiyorum. (chip z’nuff, enuff z’nuff)
* sonsuza dek sürdürmek, sadece şarkı yazmak, yazmak, yazmak...istiyorum. biz müziğin hayranlarıyız ve ondan hoşlanıyoruz. çocukluğumdan beri, evimde her zaman müzik olsun isterim. babam hep beni müziğe yöneltti. o ağır, endüstriyel çevre içinde yetişmiş. hep ticaretle uğraşmak zorunda. onların kişiliklerinin belirleyici parçaları hep ezilmiş, yok edilmiş, bam!..siz bunu yapamazsınız. yaptığı en iyi şey bunu benimle paylaşmak ve bende şimdi bunu dünyayla paylaşıyorum. (ıan astbury, the cult)
* müzikal olarak sınır tanımıyoruz. extreme’i the who’nun bir rock grubu olarak düşünüldüğü kafa yapısıyla bir rock grubu olarak düşünmek istemiyorum. queen ise yapmak istediği hiçbir şeyi yapamayan ve rock grubu mu, değil mi sorusunu hiç sormamış bir grup. aerosmith’de büyük...ve ac/dc gerçekten yapmış. extreme’in amacı, şarkılarına güç, kuvvet katmak. albümlerimizin, geçmişe, şimdinin eğlencesi olan geçmişe gitmesini isterim. biz extreme müziği yapmak istiyoruz. 1990’ların rock and roll’unu değil. grup büyüyor, tanrıya şükürler olsun! (gary cherone, extreme)
