More quotes by Andy Summers
Aping what you've already done is just so dangerous and unrewarding.
Andy Summers
More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.
Andy Summers
If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.
Andy Summers
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
Andy Summers
Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.
Andy Summers
What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.
Andy Summers
Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.
Andy Summers
I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.
Andy Summers
To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, Oh, what's hot! I don't need to.
Andy Summers
If you're 20 years old, you've grown up without buying albums.
Andy Summers
I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.
Andy Summers
For me, a great show is when there's a great rapport with the band and the audience, and we're all really into it. The first trick is to bring the audience into the band, break the ice, have a life, and be one, so you can enjoy the next hour and a half together.
Andy Summers
You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.
Andy Summers
Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.
Andy Summers
I actually think I play better now than Ive ever played.
Andy Summers
I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.
Andy Summers
Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.
Andy Summers
I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.
Andy Summers
'Triboluminescence' is actually a scientific world meaning striking something and creating light from dark. I thought it was a great word and that is was a very apt metaphor for making music - or any creative act, really. We all start in the dark and have to create light.
Andy Summers
I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.
