Elvis Quotes

Music and fashion have had a kind of incestuous relationship since the Fifties. It started with people like Elvis Presley and pop icons like James Dean. Then it exploded in the MTV days. Now, with the Internet, it’s instantaneous Picture Quote #1

To some extent, the idea that rock ‘n roll used to have this sort of free antediluvian identity, frolicking in the 1950s with Elvis or something, is totally wrong. It’s insane. Elvis’ relationship with Colonel Parker, his manager, was one of the most possibly corrupt, certainly lucrative, and intense business partnerships ever in rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

Throughout the 50s, tons of unknown locals came through Sun to record their demos. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis all made their first recordings at the former Memphis Recording Service Picture Quote #1

There would be no Rock and Roll without Ike Turner, James Brown, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Allen Toussaint, etc. Fake ghetto books and fake ghetto music. Elvis Presley, whom they idol, is merely a karaoke makeover of James Brown and Chuck Berry Picture Quote #1

Frankly speaking, I don’t know much about rock music. But I enjoyed some when I was in college or high school. But I stopped listening after Elvis Presley! Picture Quote #1

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton, Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh, they’re heroic or pathetic depending on which book you buy Picture Quote #1

I love OneRepublic, The Script, All Time Low. I love pretty much every genre. I love the Rolling Stones and Elvis Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I was always running into other girls involved in music. When I was about 14 or 15, one of my friend’s dads was an Elvis impersonator and asked us to sing backups at a rehearsal. I did well and was hired. Did that for about two years Picture Quote #1

I’m just a singer, Elvis was the embodiment of the whole American culture Picture Quote #1

Elvis had animal magnetism, he was even sexy to the guys, I can’t imagine what the chicks used to think Picture Quote #1

Plenty of people detested Michael Jackson before his death wiped away the world’s collective memory. Timberlake was originally dismissed as just another boy-bander.

I didn’t come after Elvis and Dylan, I’ve been around always. But if I see or meet a great artist, I love ‘em Picture Quote #1

The Kenyans beat up on the American runners in every road race every weekend of the year, but we’re way ahead of them in the number and quality of our Elvis impersonators. We get our X-Men and gorillas Picture Quote #1

I don’t know any Beatles songs. My dad never listened to Elvis or Sting or Bowie. Any band name that’s on a t-shirt, I probably won’t know their music, like AC/DC or whatever. I don’t know what that is. As a kid, I would sing along to artists like Tania Maria Picture Quote #1

I have a very long and beautiful love affair with Elvis Presley. I own every record he ever made, so I have about 150, almost 200 records of his. So much that I haven’t even listened to all of them. I see an Elvis record that I don’t have, and I’ll buy it and put it in my collection Picture Quote #1

The first time I saw a picture of Elvis - I was in a state of shock, because I couldn’t believe that a human being could be so beautiful Picture Quote #1

It’s not like I’m the first man ever to do this, y’know?

That’s when I realised I wanted to play guitar Picture Quote #1

Why did I break up with Elvis? It was difficult to watch his slow demise Picture Quote #1
