The best music happens when you have a personal connection to it. That same philosophy can extend to the instrument you hold in your hands: if a guitar means something special, you're bound to do great things with it.

More quotes by Frank Iero
Very rarely I create things and feel like I don't want to recreate them in a live setting. It's a completely different world, but at the same time that's where I've always come from. Enjoying that give-and-take from a live audience, there's a large part of me that's looking forward to it, and creating that relationship again.
Frank Iero
Sometimes art is just about getting a reaction, that's really the end-all be-all.
Frank Iero
Every time somebody ever told you that you weren't gonna amount to anything, you know, that's your time to shine, you know? You can show everybody and prove to yourself what you're doing is real and that it counts and that it makes a difference.
Frank Iero
You can only hold on to something for so long and enjoy it just by yourself, what's the point? It's very selfish. For better or for worse, I feel like the point of all of this is to make someone feel something.
Frank Iero
I like taking my time and seeing the things around me and appreciating the now. I started to realize that the things that helped me do that were these things that brought me love, brought me joy. And if we're all just falling towards an eventual end, falling towards the ground, then these things are parachutes.
Frank Iero
These are dangerous days we live in and you, the artists, are our last defense.
Frank Iero
The messenger is not as important as the message.
Frank Iero
I've been really fortunate where I've made stuff that connects to people on a positive level, and that makes me feel really good, but I can't feel comfortable in dictating what they're supposed to feel out of it, nor am I a professional in something where I can really help people any farther than creating the things that I make to help myself.
Frank Iero
Emo always meant emotional. Any kind of art or music should be emotional. If its not, than it's pretty much just a jingle selling bleach or pizza.
Frank Iero
People don't always realize that a record is forever. It'll always be there under your name. You've got to be certain that it's right.
Frank Iero
Popsicles should be the new black and then everyone would have one.
Frank Iero
I don't understand how people can make such a fuss about people that are happy and in love, when there's people dying of hunger and war and they don't even notice that. I really don't understand that. That makes me so angry!
Frank Iero
Sometimes it's a little overwhelming to take on other people's stories, that's just the kind of person I am, maybe I'm empathetic to a fault, I internalize a lot, so it can be a bit hard sometimes, but I understand that that's what they need, and if I can do it, then I'll do it, but if I can't, then I'll try to take a knee.

I love players like Thurston Moore. I mean, you can put notes down on a sheet of paper, and if you practice and get your chops up, you can play like an Eddie Van Halen or a Steve Vai. But nobody can do what Thurston Moore does he's his own guy. He talks through his instrument in a language that's all his own.

The future’s too bright to dwell on the past. Life moves fast, run faster.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.
Frank Iero
Love what you do and who you truly are. Be willing to die for it. If you are true to yourself, you can never go wrong
Frank Iero
I think that's really the beauty of life, like, we're this collection of moments, this collection of experiences that we've had, or little tics that we've stolen from other people, it's like we're this amalgamation of all of that.
Frank Iero
Anytime you put yourself in a creative box, it's going to stifle you it's not conducive to the writing or recording process.
