"Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" - Elvis Costello

"Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read" - Frank Zappa

Vul aan naar gelieven...

Deze van Joe Strummer vond ik prachtig:

''To write good songs you have to be somewhere between a genius and a village idiot.''

Van de man die Ad Noiseam zo geweldig weet te runnen :

"Retro is passé"

Kan het niet meer eens zijn

"I've been imitated so well I've heard people copy my mistakes." (Jimi Hendrix)

Prince:

"Money and art don't mix."

Ik wil er meer zien..!

"If you went up to the head of Sony music, put a gun to his head, and asked him to play a C scale, he'd be a dead man." - Steve Lukather (Toto)

"I don't care if this beautiful model stays with me for my Money, aslong as she stays with me it's fine" Lemmy, Motorhead (typisch Lemmy).

"We think award shows are complete nonsense.... ... unless we win" Chris Martin (Coldplay)

"Hi, we're Tool. Just a reminder for those who are too fucked on acid to remember." - Maynard James Keenan

Of deze vond ik ook altijd mooi, van het begin van Third Eye (een citaat van Bill Hicks):

"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom is what it is, okay? Keep that in mind at all times, thank you."

"Hi, we're the Velvet Underground, and we're the only band in the world who can say that"

Lou Reed (tijdens revival-concert)

"I've never had a problem with drugs. I've had problems with the police." (Keith Richards)

haha LOL

"How do you guys feel about the fact that bands like Travis, Coldplay, and Muse are making a career sounding exactly like your records did in 1997?", Yorke replied: "Good luck with Kid A." (Ross, 2001)

Phil Lynott : I tasted freedom and I really liked it.


Niet echt superogirineel ofzo denk ik, maar ik vind het een mooie quote

Morrissey over Band Aid met 'Do They Know It's Christmas Time':

One can have great concern for the people of Ethiopia, but it's another thing to inflict daily torture on the people of England

Liam Gallagher over Damon Albarn:

''I've never seen a fucking gorilla with no hair! So he can fucking suck his own fucking cock and his mate in the band's cock. That cunt is going on about I haven't sung a decent tune in years, right? I think it's quite ironic. At least I do sing tunes, what's that fucking 'ooh-de-fucky-boo', it's like fucking three-year-old's music, worse than Steps. Now there's a cunt who is not into it. Whatever happened to his beloved Blur? I'll slap that bald cunt when I see him, the dick. Wants to get a wig or summat before he starts talking about me. I'm sure he's winding me up and he's done a good job, but I'm here for the wind-up, so that's that, what was the next question?''

'I'm sure he's winding me up and he's done a good job'

Een paar leuke van Robert Smith (The Cure)...

,,You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet."

,,There's no hope of me becoming completely relaxed on stage. If I did, I'd sit down and doze off."

,,Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts. "

,,I've always spent more time with a smile on my face than not, but the thing is, I don't write about it. "

" Man, woman, animals... everybody wants to have sex with Ricky Martin" (Ricky Martin). Ik vraag me overigens nog steeds af of de verlegen Ricky Martin dit werkelijk ooit gezegd heeft

daarbij, de wens is de vader van de gedachte

"Every generation has its defining moment. We are yours."

Nicky Wire van de Manic Street Preachers (in hun begintijd)

Hoe een koe een haas vangt.

"Wake up... time to die!"

Axl Rose

All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Don't eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them.

I am so smart, I am so smart, s-m-r-t ... I mean s-m-A-r-t.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen.

Trying is the first step towards failure.

Operator! Give me the number for 911!

Well you know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button.

When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!

Allemaal Homer Simpson

Niet echt een artiest he?

Homer Simpson zat vroeger in een bandje genaamd The Be-Sharps. Ze waren erg populair in Springfield destijds...

Homer Simpson is een grote Filosoof, en zo is het maar net
zie onder staande:

Het Britse tijdschrift Men's Health heeft tekenfilmfiguur Homer Simpson uitgeroepen tot 'filosoof van het decennium'.

De sullige, donuts verslindende tekenfilmfiguur heeft volgens de redactie 'een generatie geleerd hoe de uitdaging van het moderne vaderschap aan te gaan en te winnen'.

Men's Health wees in tien categorieën een man aan die de afgelopen tien jaar toonaangevend is geweest. Zo werd Bob Geldof 'activist', Blur-zanger Damon Albarn 'muzikant', de Zweedse bondscoach Sven-Göran Eriksson van het Engelse nationale voetbalelftal 'manager', televisiekok Jamie Oliver 'chef' en wielrenner Lance Armstrong 'sportman' van dit decennium.
(Bron RTL nieuws)

Ik snap nog steeds niet dat Eriksson erbij staat, maar dit alles hoort natuurlijk niet thuis in dit topic.

On topic dan maar:

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
John Lennon

Nu niet meer zo schokkend, toen veroorzaakte het een mega rel

Mooie manier om over de Heiland te spreken!
