Rock Quotes

Rock stardom and all that stuff like that was never like my main M.O., my main M.O. is musical growth, and if I become a rock star in the process, great! Picture Quote #1

People used to say, Clapton is God. That was a phrase that people attributed to him, and he was a guitar hero back in his day. He chose a different path. And you can read about it, but he was really at the top of his game back then. I think he’s one of the greatest rock players who’ve ever lived. His timing and everything was just so on Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I understood guitar rock as well as I probably should have. I don’t think I understood bands like Led Zeppelin. In their era, everyone had such a regard for them because of them ushering in rock n’ roll and this larger-than-life lifestyle. But then they had these songs that would just not stop. I didn’t fully get it Picture Quote #1

I invented rock and roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Rock stars should be able to tune their own guitars, apply their own eyeliner, and pick out their own leather pants Picture Quote #1

My father, he was like the rock, the guy you went to with every problem Picture Quote #1

I’d like to say that I’m a rock star, but I’m not - I’m honestly more of a relationship kind of guy. I’m a guy you could take home to meet your mum rather than a guy your mum wouldn’t like Picture Quote #1

This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles Picture Quote #1

Rock n’ roll was one thing, and then they chopped off the ‘roll’ and called it ‘rock,’ which became a sort of umbrella term for anything with a guitar in it. Like hair bands. How could we possibly believe that? It’s just gotten downright silly, to the point where now it’s sort of become like professional wrestling Picture Quote #1

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame was a great idea when it started, but I think they ought to close it, I think it’s full Picture Quote #1

When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame decided to open up the voting beyond their inner circle, to the actual fans, that’s when I think everything changed Picture Quote #1

Now, I don’t know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does Picture Quote #1

I’m not cool enough to hang out with any rock stars. Jay-Z doesn’t come over to my house. I don’t hang out with Ted Nugent Picture Quote #1

I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he’s gonna do tomorrow and I’m just happy to wake up to see who’s hanging around. Mick’s rock and I’m roll Picture Quote #1

I still don’t understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood Picture Quote #1

I grew up always hanging out with boys, and I always wanted to play rock ‘n’ roll with boys, and so I’ve always acted kind of like a man Picture Quote #1

I just love to play rock and roll. I love to write songs all the time about what’s up on these streets. I write songs about people getting killed; I write songs about people getting beaten up; I write songsabout people getting taken to jail by the police; and I also write songs about love and happiness Picture Quote #1

It was wonderful, a stunning happy ending to what began as another tragic rock and roll story, as if Bob Dylan had been arrested in Miami for jacking off in a seedy little XXX theater while stroking the spine of a fat young boy Picture Quote #1

The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family Picture Quote #1

I’m not terribly happy about rock and roll. Certain rock music is uninspiring, numbing; it makes you feel like an idiot Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can live as long as I have in rock n’ roll and not take a few hard knocks Picture Quote #1

I like mellow music. I like some jazz. But I’m not a big hard rock guy Picture Quote #1

I’m very moved by Renaissance music, but I still love to play hard rock - though only if it’s sophisticated and has some thought behind it Picture Quote #1

The requests for blurbs seem to come in waves. I’m not sure what precipitates them. I think it must be excruciating for editors to draft those elaborate letters asking for a blurb, and I know it’s torturous for us writers to ask directly. But publishers encourage us to. Rock and a hard place Picture Quote #1

The feathers have been retired to the London Hard Rock Cafe. I don’t obsess about it as much. Also, it’s strange - the better physical shape I get in, the less I care about what suit I’m covering myself up in. I’m not really out to flaunt it, but I’m just more comfortable in my own skin Picture Quote #1

Ian Gillan, Roger Glover and I wanted to be a hard rock band - we wanted to play rock and roll only Picture Quote #1

The power chords in ‘Come Sail Away’ were super heavy to me as a kid. Metal? No. Hard rock? At times, for sure Picture Quote #1

Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn’t work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music Picture Quote #1

I think what I’m going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock ‘n’ roll and do what I like to do in music Picture Quote #1
