Rock Quotes

People hear a powerful female singer in a rock and roll band, and they say, ‘Janis Joplin.’ I think people just make that comparison because it’s easy. But I don’t think I sound like her at all Picture Quote #1

Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I’ve found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food Picture Quote #1

Believe God’s love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to do what Eddie Murphy did for his generation. You have to show people, ‘I’m different. I’m not just a comedian.’ I’m trying to become a rock star Picture Quote #1

Without the Fender bass, there’d be no rock n’ roll or no Motown. The electric guitar had been waiting ‘round since 1939 for a nice partner to come along. It became an electric rhythm section, and that changed everything Picture Quote #1

Throughout my years in From First to Last, I was always dabbling and making electronic music on my own time. The first records I ever owned were crossover electronic rock, like Prodigy, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails Picture Quote #1

People from the rock and roll world have felt for years that electronic music had no soul, but now electronic music can not only have soul but have all the shapes in the world Picture Quote #1

I’m a big fan of piano-based rock music like Elton John, Ben Folds, and even Queen Picture Quote #1

As long as Elton John can bring forth one performance per album on the order of ‘Someone Saved My Life Tonight,’ the chance remains that he will become something more than the great entertainer he already is and go on to make a lasting contribution to rock Picture Quote #1

The Best of Elvis Presley, Doris Day, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hailey and the Comets, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Frankie Laine all topped the charts in the 50s. Load a playlist of rock n’ roll royalty. You’re spoilt for choice Picture Quote #1

When I was twelve, the biggest name in Rock and Roll was Elvis Presley. I bought an EP, King Creole. I hid it in the basement, but my mother found it Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be a rock star all my life. I couldn’t bear to end up like Elvis Presley in Las Vegas with all those housewives and old ladies coming in with their handbags Picture Quote #1

...Scotty Moore plays one of the first really amazing riffs in rock history on Heartbreak Hotel with Elvis Presley ... it was dangerous, it scared everybodys parents, which was part of the attraction then - as it still is now... it totally blindsided me and made me want to get a guitar and do that Picture Quote #1

Love is bullshit. Emotion is bullshit. I am a rock. A jerk. I’m an uncaring asshole and proud of it Picture Quote #1

In a way it’s the emotional feeling that you get in a good rock song or folk song, there’s just nothing that rivals that Picture Quote #1

It’s a fine line between writing something with genuine emotional impact and turning into little idiots feeling sorry for ourselves and playing stadium rock Picture Quote #1

Nobody wants to rock their own life. But, on the other hand, when your life does get rocked, it affords you a certain level of emotional honesty. It liberates you to be who you really are Picture Quote #1

I love rock ballads, and I’m kind of in emotional turmoil, being ill and high, so I start to sing to the song, I turn it up and start to sing Picture Quote #1

I was never ready to give up, but I did get words of confidence to move forward from a few musicians that had climbed up the totem pole of rock. They were encouraging words that struck a nerve with me and made me stronger Picture Quote #1

Oh, happy day when the enemies of ascendancy have got to confess that people of color rock Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Adolescence and early youth...the fires are burning fastest, right? And your energy level is highest. It demands...and rock is screaming type music Picture Quote #1

Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn’t that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n’ roll Picture Quote #1

In rock music, people have certain assumptions that it makes people more enlightened, and it really doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I tended to lean towards the guys who both sang and played, such as Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Steve Wariner... And at the other end of the spectrum, I had Eric Clapton in a rock and blues sense, jazz guys such as Tal Farlow and Les Paul... Then Chet Atkins-type stuff Picture Quote #1

The thing about rock is that people are not just interested in bands because of where they want to go. It’s where they want to escape from that matters Picture Quote #1

I thought everybody got into rock ‘n’ roll because they didn’t want to follow instructions Picture Quote #1

Some people revel in getting their hands dirty. These are the people that make startups grow wildly. People with hustle also tend to be much more agile - they’re the water that goes around the rock. These are the people you want around when everything goes wrong. They’re also the people you want beside you when everything goes right Picture Quote #1

In the case of those who are making progress from good to better, the good angel touches the soul gently, lightly, sweetly, as a drop of water enters a sponge, while the evil spirit touches it sharply, with noise and disturbance, like a drop of water falling on a rock Picture Quote #1

For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I’ve been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can’t write past that Picture Quote #1
