More quotes by B. B. King
Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he's my favorite.
B. B. King
I'd rather be B.B. King. That's the way I started. Let the heavy metal guys play heavy metal, let the others play the other ... I try to do what I do better, not get away from it.
B. B. King
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
B. B. King
I think of guitar players in terms of doctors: you have the doctor for your heart, the cardiologist, then one that works on your feet, your leg. But I believe George Benson is the one that plays all over. To me, he would be the M.D. of them all.
B. B. King
I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us
B. B. King
I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.
B. B. King
It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
B. B. King
Being a blues singer is like being black two times.
B. B. King
Hard times don't necessarily mean being poor all the time. I've known people that was a part of a family and always feel that the family likes everybody else but them. That hurts and that's as deep a hurt as you can possibly get.
B. B. King
I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions.
B. B. King
I liked blues from the time my mother used to take me to church. I started to listen to gospel music, so I liked that. But I had an aunt at that time, my mother's aunt, who bought records by people like Lonnie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson and a few others.
B. B. King
Music is good for everybody. They say it soothes the savage beast. Well, I think theirs a beast in all of us. So let's get some more music and soothe all the beasts out there.
B. B. King
I've been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a traveling blues singer
B. B. King
Albert King wasn't my brother in blood, but he sure was my brother in Blues
B. B. King
I've always liked ladies all my life. I guess it started with my mom. So every time I saw a pretty lady, I thought, she's pretty.
B. B. King
The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.
B. B. King
You only live but once, and when your died your done, so let the good times roll.
B. B. King
If you want to be a good blues singer, people are going to be down on you, so dress like you're going to the bank to borrow money.
B. B. King
I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords.
B. B. King
I was born on a plantation, and things weren't so good. We didn't have any money. I never thought of the word 'poor' till I got to be a man, but when you live in a house that you can always peek out of and see what kind of day it is, you're not doing so well. And your restroom is not inside the house.
B. B. King
