More quotes by Dan Auerbach
You know, there's always someone in mind when I'm writing. You know, it's all comes from somewhere inside.
Dan Auerbach
I'm certainly not your typical front-man material. Some people love being on stage and really open up, and I'm sort of the opposite of that. I don't crave the spotlight. I'm still not comfortable even talking on stage.
Dan Auerbach
I'm not too picky about guitars. I love to collect them, mostly oddballs, but I'm not married to any brand or model. Whatever guitar has the best character for the song is the one I want to use, because if you've got a style, you're going to sound like yourself no matter what guitar you play.
Dan Auerbach
I never listen to Led Zeppelin. But, I mean, I don't think Robert Plant or Jimmy Page listen to Led Zeppelin, either. We all probably obsessed over the same old blues records growing up.
Dan Auerbach
It's hard to be spontaneous when you have 40 people in your crew, and you're playing to 16,000 people every night, and there's giant lighting rigs, it's hard to change direction on a dime.
Dan Auerbach
Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.
Dan Auerbach
Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There's always going to be kids making music. There's always going to be kids in bands.
Dan Auerbach
Bands from Akron have a sense of humor and don't tend to take themselves too seriously.
Dan Auerbach
You get to bring your own sound system when you play an arena, all the lights and visual stuff, which I think is really cool. There's something about those old arenas, where it feels larger than life.
Dan Auerbach
I am nice to everybody. But people really take advantage of it.
Dan Auerbach
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
Dan Auerbach
I feel like I live in my own little world, to be honest. I mean, I love my record, but I don't feel tied to it. I sort of created my own little universe in the studio, and that's why all of those musicians who made a living in the Nashville music scene loved coming over to my place so much.
Dan Auerbach
Coming from a smaller place always made things feel more personal, which is really what it's all about.
Dan Auerbach
I'm really not worried about what fans think.
Dan Auerbach
I started playing bluegrass with my family, so there were the G, C and D chords. I was playing a Martin acoustic because that's what Carter Stanley of the Stanley Brothers played. Then I got into the really raw blues of Hound Dog Taylor and started on electric guitar.
Dan Auerbach
My mum's family would all get together, with guitars, harmonica, mandolins and upright bass and play old blues and folk songs. That was normal to me.
Dan Auerbach
The modern video games kind of - they're too three dimensional.
Dan Auerbach
That culture, of looking at catchy music as a negative thing, is weird. It has nothing to do with me, or the music I was into growing up. The Stones and the Beatles only tried to write hits. Every Motown song, every Credence Clearwater song - they were trying to write hits.
Dan Auerbach
I'm definitely a guitar player, but it's the last thing I listen to in a song, after the singer and the drums.
