The nose can't help catchin' what the ears get sick with. Yessir, rock bands just sweat evil. Evil's been around for a long time, ever since rocks started getting real hot and making a lot of noise as they exploded out o' the ground and evil spirits wisped out of hell. If a band ever uses a fog machine, hold your breath so you don't become possessed by one. ~ M.C. Humphreys
Rock Bands quotes by M.C. Humphreys
I haven't heard anything new that I've liked on the show. A lot of the bands we play with are just bad, especially those alternative rock bands. They can do it in the studio but they can't play live... I see the audience applauding while they're playing, and I wonder if it's just because they're fans of the band and don't care, or out of spite. Because it certainly isn't because they sound good.

Branford Marsalis on the musical acts booked on The Tonight Show. ~ Branford Marsalis
Rock Bands quotes by Branford Marsalis
If girls are ever going to start to be in bands as the norm rather than as the exception. They need to see people up there that have just started playing. That's something that had gotten lost. I think that's why there are so many great girl punk rock bands now. It's like you have to make up your own rules because the old rules don't apply. You just have to start with what you have. ~ Tobi Vail
Rock Bands quotes by Tobi Vail
I love dancing, but I'm not that good of a singer. I sang in punk rock bands in high school and college and stuff, but that mostly involved lots of screaming. ~ Brian Dietzen
Rock Bands quotes by Brian Dietzen
A lot of rock bands are truly a legend in their own minds. ~ David Lee Roth
Rock Bands quotes by David Lee Roth
I have total respect for anyone who discovers a band like Snow Patrol. I would be hopeless at signing a rock band, or anything alternative, cause I don't know what that audience are into and I don't particularly like that kind of music. ~ Simon Cowell
Rock Bands quotes by Simon Cowell
I had this one rock band I used to listen to, but I forgot the name of them ... ~ Ace Hood
Rock Bands quotes by Ace Hood
I started out as a drummer, and now play with a back-to-basics rock band called the 'Luddites.' I'm happiest when I'm behind the kit. ~ Rick Astley
Rock Bands quotes by Rick Astley
You can only be this high-powered mojo rock band for so long, then you just can't look people in the eye. So, we've projected our own demise. ~ Billy Corgan
Rock Bands quotes by Billy Corgan
The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music. ~ Carrie Brownstein
Rock Bands quotes by Carrie Brownstein
French parents do offer a few sleep tips. They almost all say that in the early months, they kept their babies with them in the light during the day, even for naps, and put them to bed in the dark at night. And almost all say that, from birth, they carefully "observed" their babies, and then followed the babies' own "rhythms." French parents talk so much about rhythm, you'd think they were starting rock bands, not raising kids. "From zero to six months, the best is to respect the rhythms of their sleep," explains Alexandra, the mother whose babies slept through the night practically from birth. ~ Pamela Druckerman
Rock Bands quotes by Pamela Druckerman
I was a late bloomer. I was a kinda shy little kid, definitely a child of the dark side. I wanted to play guitar and be in a rock band. ~ Yul Vazquez
Rock Bands quotes by Yul Vazquez
All of the punk-rock bands of the era would come in and play, and my job on Punk Rock Night was that I would go into the slam pit, and ... I was 24 or 25, and I'd slam dance in the pit. ~ William Forsythe
Rock Bands quotes by William Forsythe
Rock Band never got anybody a date. Never. ~ Brad Paisley
Rock Bands quotes by Brad Paisley
I'm much more into bad, trashy Belgian techno. I like that much more than rock bands. The whole idea of a rock band is so archaic. ~ Luke Haines
Rock Bands quotes by Luke Haines
I've never recognized 'emo' as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me. ~ Guy Picciotto
Rock Bands quotes by Guy Picciotto
I feel like the rap metal at the end of the 1990s destroyed rock music for everybody and suddenly everybody felt like they had to apologise for being in rock bands. People suddenly felt bad about wanting to reach massive audiences and the sense of theatre, that we have in our live show, became something to avoid. ~ Nate Ruess
Rock Bands quotes by Nate Ruess
I was in a vintage pub rock band called Clover in the 1970s. ~ Huey Lewis
Rock Bands quotes by Huey Lewis
I'm in a funny position: I've been in one band in my life and that was with my brother. As incredible as that has been, I feel like I'm missing out a little bit on being in a real rock band - or how I imagine being in a real rock band to be. It's like being in a street gang: you all wear the same leather jacket or whatever. ~ Eleanor Friedberger
Rock Bands quotes by Eleanor Friedberger
Fleetwood Mac are more like a folk-rock band. ~ Ann Wilson
Rock Bands quotes by Ann Wilson
I've been making electronic music for twenty some odd years but, because I grew up playing in punk rock bands, when I started touring, I thought in order to be a viable touring musician I had to do it with a band. I would DJ or tour with a full rock band. ~ Moby
Rock Bands quotes by Moby
I was extreme ... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band - I did it all, and all at the same time. ~ Pink
Rock Bands quotes by Pink
I can play the trumpet. Before I became an actor, I wanted to be the next Louis Armstrong. I started young and got to grade seven. When I turned 13, everyone started whipping out guitars, looking cool and joining rock bands, so I stopped playing. ~ Douglas Booth
Rock Bands quotes by Douglas Booth
I thought that Christianity was undergoing a bit of a comeback?' 'Well, if you're into rock bands and happy-clappy Christianity, I suppose it is ~ K.M. Ashman
Rock Bands quotes by K.M. Ashman
With a pop album you can listen to one or two songs from it, but a music album is really an experience. It's not something a whole lot of rock bands do. ~ Dylan Baldi
Rock Bands quotes by Dylan Baldi
When I was nine years old, I started playing guitar, and I took classical guitar lessons and studied music theory. And played jazz for a while. And then when I was around fourteen years old, I discovered punk rock. And so I then tried to unlearn everything I had learned in classical music and jazz so I could play in punk rock bands. ~ Moby
Rock Bands quotes by Moby
When I return to the writing process after being away from it for a while, the first part of it always is being honest with myself: What am I into right now? Is it rock bands and guitars, is it noise, is it dance beats and electronics? Is it space, is it clutter? ~ Trent Reznor
Rock Bands quotes by Trent Reznor
If you ever see shitty ass rock dudes in shitty ass rock bands asking you to show them your tist for backstage passes, I want you to spit right in their fucking faces and yell 'FUCK YOU! ~ Gerard Way
Rock Bands quotes by Gerard Way
Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing. ~ Vivian Campbell
Rock Bands quotes by Vivian Campbell
I was in punk rock bands, heavy metal bands, world music bands, jazz groups, any type of music that would take me. I just love music. ~ Reggie Watts
Rock Bands quotes by Reggie Watts
I don't have no favorite rock bands. I'm a fan of rock music though. ~ DJ Khaled
Rock Bands quotes by DJ Khaled
I got to be about 13 and everyone started playing guitars and being in rock bands. There was no place for me with my trumpet and I wasn't cool anymore. Although now if I played the trumpet it would be the coolest thing in the world. ~ Douglas Booth
Rock Bands quotes by Douglas Booth
I don't know what happened. I just exploded. I'd never sung like that before. I used to stand still and sing simple, but you can't sing like that in front of a rock band. You have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don't know how to perform any other way. ~ Janis Joplin
Rock Bands quotes by Janis Joplin
Before I decided to concentrate on writing, I drew pictures and painted, and made Super 8 experimental movies. I was the singer in three rock bands, and I wrote and staged and acted in plays for kids in my neighborhood. So I was kind of all over the place in my interests and far-flung in terms of where my creativity wanted to end up. ~ Dennis Cooper
Rock Bands quotes by Dennis Cooper
After this many years of being a lead singer in a touring rock band, I've had my fair share of fun. But those days are long behind me. ~ Chad Kroeger
Rock Bands quotes by Chad Kroeger
I came up playing in both punk rock bands and hip-hop bands, and I found a more universal way of reaching people, especially with music that has a message to it. ~ Michael Franti
Rock Bands quotes by Michael Franti
Well, in some ways I had sort of the opposite experience of other people that are sort of dreaming of being in a rock band. I was dreaming of like corporate lunches and just like, and I'm not really joking. Like the whole idea to me was really appealing. ~ Carrie Brownstein
Rock Bands quotes by Carrie Brownstein
I play Rock Band, which is Guitar Hero times ten. You can play with four people, so when you have parties, you have a real band. Nobody ever wants to sing, so I'm always the one throwing down on the mic. ~ Elizabeth Banks
Rock Bands quotes by Elizabeth Banks
Tim Thornton's portrait of a pop culture obsession is so convincing that one can't help wishing that his fictional alt rock band actually existed, or suspecting that they did. The Alternative Hero is a weirdly compelling portrait of fanatic fandom which reads like High Fidelity at high volume. ~ Jay McInerney
Rock Bands quotes by Jay McInerney
Rock bands are a lot like football teams: If a guy is on drugs and messes up, get someone else who's proud to wear the uniform and be part of the team. ~ Gene Simmons
Rock Bands quotes by Gene Simmons
I don't think there are too many rock bands in history that can look at the beginning and middle and ending of themselves and see what I see when I think of Soundgarden. I think from the beginning through the middle and the end it was such a perfect ride and such a perfect legacy to leave, ~ Chris Cornell
Rock Bands quotes by Chris Cornell
The Ruts were a great punk rock band from England whose songs were as excellent as their time together was short. ~ Henry Rollins
Rock Bands quotes by Henry Rollins
In 1996, I was in was in an acoustic kind of rock band, we were called Feeble. We were just playing locally. ~ Travis Barker
Rock Bands quotes by Travis Barker
I have my small little cult following, I play random shows from house parties to opening up for rock bands. ~ Girl Talk
Rock Bands quotes by Girl Talk
Being in a rock band, I feel a certain responsibility to have a weird haircut. I mean, who else gets to do that? ~ Win Butler
Rock Bands quotes by Win Butler
Critics and fans use the music of their youth as reference points. For years, people seriously wondered who "the next Beatles" were going to be, and classic rock bands were the de facto yardstick for rock quality. ~ Michael Azerrad
Rock Bands quotes by Michael Azerrad
Show me on the doll where Fun is a rock band. ~ Corey Taylor
Rock Bands quotes by Corey Taylor
I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals. ~ Gerard Butler
Rock Bands quotes by Gerard 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
Rock Bands quotes by David Coverdale
I loved hard-rock bands, and I loved songwriters who told stories. ~ Art Alexakis
Rock Bands quotes by Art Alexakis
I began with dance, doing ballet at 3, then tap, jazz, modern. Then I sang in church choirs, learned how to play clarinet and drums, sang with rock bands and only then did I get into musical theatre. ~ Samantha Barks
Rock Bands quotes by Samantha Barks
Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see. ~ Sebastian Bach
Rock Bands quotes by Sebastian Bach
I've never supported this concept of going after Napster. I think the rock bands who fought this were wrong. ~ Michael Moore
Rock Bands quotes by Michael Moore
Rock Band is more like Stairmaster than it is like rock 'n' roll - it's the same steps with different degrees of difficulty. ~ Carrie Brownstein
Rock Bands quotes by Carrie Brownstein
I'd always wanted to make a record with Jim Dickinson, and I'd known about his boys for years, ... He reminded me that when they were 13 or 14 years old they had a punk rock band and I'd called him and wanted to make a record with them then. ~ John Hiatt
Rock Bands quotes by John Hiatt
What was remarkable was that associating with a computer and electronics company was the best way for a rock band to seem hip and appeal to young people. Bono later explained that not all corporate sponsorships were deals with the devil. "Let's have a look," he told Greg Kot, the Chicago Tribune music critic. "The 'devil' here is a bunch of creative minds, more creative than a lot of people in rock bands. The lead singer is Steve Jobs. These men have helped design the most beautiful art object in music culture since the electric guitar. That's the iPod. The job of art is to chase ugliness away. ~ Walter Isaacson
Rock Bands quotes by Walter Isaacson
The music industry is not what it used to be. Being in a good band is great, and I've been lucky to be in great bands. I've done solo stuff, and that's been great. I also produce rock bands and I do co-writes, where I write with different singers in bands and songwriters. ~ James Iha
Rock Bands quotes by James Iha
One could understand feminism generally as an attack on woman as she was under "patriarchy" (that concept is a social construction of feminism). The feminine mystique was her ideal; in regard to sex, it consisted of women's modesty and in the double standard of sexual conduct that comes with it, which treated women's misbehavior as more serious than men's. Instead of trying to establish a single standard by bringing men up to the higher standard of women, as with earlier feminism, today's feminism decided to demand that women be entitled to sink to the level of men. It bought into the sexual revolution of the late sixties and required that women be rewarded with the privileges of male conquest rather than, say, continue serving as camp followers of rock bands. The result has been the turn for the worse. ... What was there in feminine modesty that the feminists left behind?

In return for women's holding to a higher standard of sexual behavior, feminine modesty gave them protection while they considered whether they wanted to consent. It gave them time: Not so fast! Not the first date! I'm not ready for that! It gave them the pleasure of being courted along with the advantage of looking before you leap. To win over a woman, men had to strive to express their finer feelings, if they had any. Women could judge their character and choose accordingly. In sum, women had the right of choice, if I may borrow that slogan. All this and more was social construction, to be sure ~ Harvey Mansfield
Rock Bands quotes by Harvey Mansfield
I never met a politician who didn't want to be a guitar player in a rock band. I've got the opportunity to say what I believe in. ~ Billy Bragg
Rock Bands quotes by Billy Bragg
Misogyny comes naturally to a young man in his late teens; it is a function of the powerful homosocial impulses that flower along Fraternity Row, that drove the mod movements of the middle sixties and late seventies, that lie at the heart of every rock band formed by men of that age. ~ Michael Chabon
Rock Bands quotes by Michael Chabon
Led Zeppelin was the rock band's rock band, but it was Plant who made it special. He had the knack of taking a seemingly inconsequential string of words, adding a searing shriek, and knocking the listener back on his heels. This was no less impressive on stage than in the restaurant. ~ Andre The BFG
Rock Bands quotes by Andre The BFG
I played in school jazz bands and tried to start rock bands, but nobody was interested. ~ Courtney Barnett
Rock Bands quotes by Courtney Barnett
People told me I can't dress like a fairy. I say, I'm in a rock band and I cand do whatever the hell I want! ~ Evanescence
Rock Bands quotes by Evanescence
I wasn't in a lot of rock and roll bands. I was in jug bands and things when I was in school. ~ Loudon Wainwright III
Rock Bands quotes by Loudon Wainwright III
Me personally, I side more with punk rock bands. I grew up with The Misfits, The Dead Boys, The Damned, Dropkick Murphys, and early AFI. That was the stuff that really got me into music. Song writing wise, bands like Alkaline Trio were very important to me for beginning to write songs. ~ Andy Biersack
Rock Bands quotes by Andy Biersack
I remember the day we were hanging around the band's commune and Roger came in with the press kit for a rock band (Moby Grape) any of us had ever seen. It looked psychedelic, yet it was done by ad people. I believe the word "hype" was coined on that very day. ~ Cynthia Heimel
Rock Bands quotes by Cynthia Heimel
From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time. ~ Dave Grohl
Rock Bands quotes by Dave Grohl
I have had success throughout the years. Some of the hard rock bands today don't have the history that I have. ~ Gary Cherone
Rock Bands quotes by Gary Cherone
When I played in a band, people just stand there and look at you and criticize what they didn't like. But if you watch a D.J. show, people go crazy from beginning to end. Say what you want against D.J.'s, but you can't deny that the energy level in the audience is for the most part far above what rock bands have. ~ Zedd
Rock Bands quotes by Zedd
All the outliers we've looked at so far were the beneficiaries of some kind of unusual opportunity. Lucky breaks don't seem like the exception with software billionaires and rock bands and star athletes. They seem like the rule. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Rock Bands quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
My mom is very proud of introducing music to all her kids. But I played in some bad rock bands my junior and senior years of high school. ~ Miles Teller
Rock Bands quotes by Miles Teller
Chris Cornell: I think Pearl Jam was the band that set the perfect example. Their big video, "Jeremy," propelled them into becoming TV stars and one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, so they stopped making videos, which was proof positive that that wasn't where they wanted to be. And that made a lot of sense to me.

Nirvana doing an Unplugged at the same time that they did it and making a video for "Heart-Shaped Box," that didn't make a lot of sense to me, because it seemed clear to me that Kurt was pretty disillusioned by the situation that he was being put in. It felt like, If he's so unhappy, he shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff. ~ Mark Yarm
Rock Bands quotes by Mark Yarm
Barry White, Smokey Robinson and Curtis Mayfield are big influences for me. But I'm also a metal head. I was in a bunch of punk rock bands. The Bee Gees, hip-hop and the Beach Boys are just as much of an influence on me as Smokey. ~ Mayer Hawthorne
Rock Bands quotes by Mayer Hawthorne
The Doors formed on the beaches of Los Angeles, in what you might imagine is the tradition of local rock bands since the Beach Boys. ~ Steve Erickson
Rock Bands quotes by Steve Erickson
I was more influenced by players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen than by the guys in southern rock bands. ~ Dimebag Darrell
Rock Bands quotes by Dimebag Darrell
Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame. ~ Tyler Hilton
Rock Bands quotes by Tyler Hilton
For a long time, when I was very young, I went to go see arena rock bands. I was 16, and it was all I could get in to see, legally. And I saw Led Zeppelin and Ted Nugent and Van Halen and all that. ~ Henry Rollins
Rock Bands quotes by Henry Rollins
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine. ~ Paul Stanley
Rock Bands quotes by Paul Stanley
I'm fascinated with the attitude of younger rock bands, even ones that are making money at it. I don't ever hear them talk about it as a "career." It almost makes me think there isn't even a music industry anymore, like an atom bomb fell and it was just eradicated forever. ~ Travis Morrison
Rock Bands quotes by Travis Morrison
Before 'Local Hero,' I'd been knocking about Glasgow in rock bands, drinking too much and generally being 21. My opinion of actors was that they were straight and boring, so you see, I was completely unprepared for being one. ~ Peter Capaldi
Rock Bands quotes by Peter Capaldi
I listen to all kinds of bands. I like rock music, like, male rock bands. I'm more into that instead of female singers. I like Nirvana, Green Day, System Of A Down. I also like punk rock, and I love bands like Coldplay. ~ Avril Lavigne
Rock Bands quotes by Avril Lavigne
By now all rock bands are wise enough to be suspicious of music industry scum. ~ Steve Albini
Rock Bands quotes by Steve Albini
Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band. ~ Gene Simmons
Rock Bands quotes by Gene Simmons
Punk-rock gave music back to people. For a long time, when I was very young, I went to go see arena rock bands. I was 16 and it was all I could get in to see, legally. And I saw Led Zeppelin and Ted Nugent and Van Halen and all that. Me and [Minor Threat and Fugazi vocalist] Ian MacKaye would go to these concerts, and it was fun. ~ Henry Rollins
Rock Bands quotes by Henry Rollins
I started just concentrating on songwriting when I was abut 20; I'd been in rock bands six or seven years, kinda got that out of my system, I said, "ok, you ain't gonna be a rock star, you don't look like a rock star, it probably ain't gonna happen. So what you should do is write songs and maybe other people will do your songs." ~ Billy Joel
Rock Bands quotes by Billy Joel
Marriage is a long conversation, someone once said, and maybe so is a rock band's life. A few minutes later, both were done. ~ Kim Gordon
Rock Bands quotes by Kim Gordon
I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football. ~ Billie Joe Armstrong
Rock Bands quotes by Billie Joe Armstrong
Precept is instruction written in the sand; the tide flows over it and the record is gone; example is graven on the rock, and the lesson is not soon lost. ~ William Ellery Channing
Rock Bands quotes by William Ellery Channing
It's taken me other places, but it was the impulse to write that led me to singing. I'm not a musician. I never thought of performing in a rock n' roll band. I was just drawn in. It was like being called to duty - I was called to duty, and I did my duty as best as I could. ~ Patti Smith
Rock Bands quotes by Patti Smith
Jesse Stone did more to develop the basic rock-and-roll sound than anybody else. ~ Ahmet Ertegun
Rock Bands quotes by Ahmet Ertegun
Harry [Shearer] and I had an idea to do a movie about rock 'n' roll from the roadies' perspective, from backstage. Then Meat Loaf came out with a movie called Roadie and we thought, "Oh, we can't do that now." So we kind of discarded the idea. ~ Rob Reiner
Rock Bands quotes by Rob Reiner
I really tried to push every genre that I could into this record. I wanted every song to have this feel, where as soon as the listener tunes in, they say "That's CoJo, that's Cody right there." That being said, it is a little different. There's Americana, there's Bluegrass, there's some rock, there's some really George Jones-style stuff on it, slow-style Ray Price country elements, there's some modern country, a little of this and a little of that. We tried to push a lot for show versatility, because I grew up with a lot of versatility in my music. ~ Cody Johnson
Rock Bands quotes by Cody Johnson
Man corrupt everything, say Shug. He on your box of grits, in your head, and all over the radio. He try to make you think he everywhere. Soon as you think he everywhere, you think he God. But he ain't. Whenever you trying to pray, and man plop himself on the other end of it, tell him to git lost, say Shug. Conjure up the flowers, wind, water, a big rock. ~ Alice Walker
Rock Bands quotes by Alice Walker
Ysabeau wanted me to know she approved of you. Like the gold from which it is made, you are steadfast. You hide many secrets within you, just as the bands of the ring hide the poesies from view. But it is the stone that best captures who you are: bright on the surface, fiery within, and impossible to break. ~ Deborah Harkness
Rock Bands quotes by Deborah Harkness
Too bad that Paul Ryan confessed to being a fan of Rage Against The Machine. By doing so, he not only begged for a bucketing by many of their fans but actually got one from the band's guitar player, Tom Morello. ~ Henry Rollins
Rock Bands quotes by Henry Rollins
I'm thinking of putting together an all-star band. I definitely have a bit of a rock fantasy. ~ Jessica Pare
Rock Bands quotes by Jessica Pare
'The Beatles' did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock. ~ Chris Cornell
Rock Bands quotes by Chris Cornell
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. ~ Anonymous
Rock Bands quotes by Anonymous
You can't always get out on the mountain, so I'll put rubber on the end of my ice tools and climb the tread wall, a rotating rock wall I have in my backyard. ~ Erik Weihenmayer
Rock Bands quotes by Erik Weihenmayer
I'm sure Sting's a lovely guy. It's just that nobody wants to be seen as that holier-than-thou thing. That over-earnestness is a bit of a problem with people in bands and celebrities or whatever. ~ Jarvis Cocker
