You told me again you preferred handsome man, but for me you would make an exception.............

Dit zingt Leonard Cohen in het nummer Chelsea Hotel. Het gaat over een dame die hij daar wel eens ontmoet. En die dame is Janis Joplin.........

.....we are ugly but we have the music......

Zo zijn er nog veel meer citaten uit liedjes die mij raken, maar deze schoot al eerste te binnen

Freddie Mercury: "Fuck today, it's tomorrow"
John Lennon:(nadat Paul McCartney wat had gezongen) "Great, you sounded just like him."
Freddie Mercury: "I'm a musical prostitute, my dear."
Paul McCartney: "Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles."
Bono: "Fuck The Revolution. What's the glory in pulling a man out of his bed, and shooting him in front of his own children? what's the glory in that?"
David Bowie: Two psychics, ow no rather two psychiatrists are walking down the streat, says the one to the other "you're doing allright, am I?"

uit een interview wat Rudi Dolezal met David Bowie afnam:
Rudi Dolezal: "What do you want Freddie Mercury to be reminded for?"
David Bowie: "For wearing better jackets than you."

Paul McCartney: "Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles."

Jimi Hendrix: "The time I burned my guitar was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love - I love my guitar."

nadat Keith Moon een drumsolo gaf met goudvissen in zijn drumkit, is er een vragen ronde:

meisje uit publiek: "What happens with your goldfish?"
Keith Moon: "The goldfish? well euhm, even the best drummers get hungry".

Freddie Mercury: "If our records won't sell, I'll become a strip artist or something."
Rudi Dolezal: "And on what kind of music would you strip?"
Freddie Mercury: "All the songs I've written!"

Bij de volgende moet je eigenlijk de video beelden er bij zien, i.v.m. de kop en het toontje van Keith Richards
interviewer: "Would you want to become the guitar player from Queen?"
Keith Richards: "Let me think about it, ask me next time"

en nog een hele mooie, subtiele, alles omvattende over en van Bob Geldof: "GIVE US YOUR FUCKING MONEY"

Freddie Mercury: "It has been 10 years since our last visit, so who saw us ten years ago?"
voorspelbaare reactie publiek
Freddie Mercury: "You liars!"

Brian May: "No, my name is not Freddie"

Freddie Mercury: "the next song is written by John Deacon, it's called another one bites your balls"

In de periode in 1974 toen David Bowie ongelimiteerd werd uitgebuit door zijn manager:
David Bowie: "There's a fly in my milk, well actually it's his milk. And he must be angy because that big creature is drinking all his milk."

Steve Jones: "I hate guitar solo's. There are two reasons for that: I can't play guitar solo's, and I hate them anyway."

Morrissey:

Don't talk to me about people who are 'nice' cause I have spent my whole life in ruins because of people who are 'nice'.

I normally live in Los Angeles, if you can call it normal living.

I've never intended to be controversial but it's very easy to be controversial in pop music because nobody ever is.

"It all begins with a sound in your head, a disarray of word and music, an awareness of something coming to the surface. Small pieces occasionally break through but the whole is a mystery. Take the mood, the emotion, the passion for it and make it live. Focus it all, crystalize the essence of it, let it become a living thing, share it.

The music I felt wasn't like the music I had grown up hearing, or rather, not like any one of them. It was all of them jumbled up and drawn into something I could understand as mine.

I found I could play this music and connect the guitar directly to my heart. I found others who could make the same connection, who could see the music as well as play it.

The sound made pictures. It spread out wide landscapes. Great dramas were played out under its turbulent skies. There was romance and reality, truth and dare. People being people, no heroes just you and me, like it always it.

The music told stories, little stories. Lands were not conquered, treasure was left in the tombs, the magic was in the everyday. We learned how we are together and how we come apart. Life happens."

Prachtig stukje van wijlen Stuart Adamson, de voormalig zanger van Big Country. Dit stukje staat in het booklet van hun album The Crossing.

Adamson verwoordt hier - in de laatste twee alinea's - precies wat ik voel als ik naar zijn muziek luister (vooral in het geval van The Crossing).

if you have nothing left to burn you should set yourself on fire
stars

He was one of the top ten guitar players of all time, but more importantly one of the top ten good guys.

Bono over wijlen Rory Gallagher

"Eventually you wake up and you're like, 'Wow, I need to stop hallucinating today' "

Chris Robinson van de Black Crowes

Niet erg diep, maar wel leuk... Eddie Vedder over zijn 21 maanden oude dochtertje dat graag de nieuwe Pearl Jam single, World Wide Suicide zingt tijdens play-group:

"She dances around singing 'Suicide, suicide', and I have to wonder what the other parents are thinking."

er ging een sticker op één van Billy Corgan's gitaren "Honk If You Hate People Too"

mss niet zijn citaat, ma alee bon, kvind toch wijs

''I'm not like John Lennon, who thought he was the great Almighty. I just think I'm John Lennon.''

''People say we're the Rolling Stones and that Blur are the Beatles. We're the Stones and the Beatles. They're the fucking Monkees!''

''He's a fuckin circus monkey!''
over Robbie Williams

Noel Gallagher

"I know who fuckin' did it. It was the Scream. I'm gonna send a letter to President Bush telling him who did it: Scottish cunts. Havin' it large. Skinny fucker Gillespie."

Response when asked for his opinion on the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. The Scream refers to the Scottish band 'Primal Scream' and their leader singer, Bobby Gillespie.

"Being a lad is what I'm about. I can tell you who isn't a lad - anyone from Blur."

"She can't even chew gum and walk in a straight line, let alone write a book."

Over Victoria Beckham

Liam Gallagher

en nog een zeer intellectueel gesprek tussen beide heren

"Noel: Do you know John Lennon?
Liam: Do you know him?
Noel: I don't, but do you?
Liam: Yeah.
Noel: Well, you must be pretty old. How old are you? 21?
Liam: No. About fuckin' thousand and five fuckin' one.
Noel: You're 22.
Liam: No, I'm 21.
Noel: Right. And remember I watched you being born...
Liam: Right.
Noel: ...and I don't even know John Lennon.
Liam: Right.
Noel: Right, then, so shut the fuck up about knowing John Lennon!"

aan Gallagher quotes valt makkelijk een heel forum te vullen

Fish gister in Rijssen:

"Nothing can't go wrong tonight because of mine soeperzlipperz"

pardon, 'ging' moet 'hing' zijn

Pete Townsend tijdens het concert in de Royal Albert Hall in 2000. Als hij special guest Noel Gallagher aankondigt:

"... And thank god he didn't bring his brother!"

"I might as well take a gun and put it to his head, Get it over with"

Uit Unfaithful van Rihanna.

We hebben het over mooie citaten.

En ik vind die mooi! (maar dan moet je even weten waar het lied over gaat)

Ik heb wel een vermoeden.

If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.
(Woody Guthrie)

Vandaag in de krant (hbvl) enkele citaten van Robbie Williams:

Drugs & drank:
"Ik was op een feestje en was totaal de weg kwijt. Ik staarde naar een schilderij. 'Dit is waanzinnig mooi', zei ik tegen Bono, die langs me stond. Hij antwoorde 'Robbie, dat is een raam'"

België:
"Marvin Gaye trok naar België om zijn beste muziek te maken, ik naar LA. Beide zijn niet de meest gelukkige plaatsen."

Solocarrière:
"Zelfs Beckham heeft 21 anderen nodig om het Wembleystadion vol te krijgen, en ik doe het in mijn eentje."

Seks:
"Ik ontmoette Courtney Love en ze vertelde dat ze met me naar bed wilde maar dat ze dat niet kon doen wegens mijn 'popster-ding'. Toen heb ik haar maar gezegd dat ik niet met haar naar bed kon vanwegen haar 'lelijk-zijn-ding'."

All I wanna do allday is spend it in bed, but that's bad for the body and even worse for my head

Door Reel Big Fish in het nummer Drunk Again

(héél bekend) john lennon: We are more popular than jesus Christ himself.

En hij had gelijk...

Music is freedom

Jeff Buckley
