More quotes by Kevin Shields
We've had incredibly huge obstacles in our way - no tapes, no royalties, no cooperation on any level - and we sort it out.
Kevin Shields
Skepticism is only a time-based reality, and as an ultimate reality, it's always wrong, because everything always happens.
Kevin Shields
Digital might capture the dynamics of what I heard before it went to tape a bit more accurately, but on the other hand, when we'd switch from listening to the digital version to the analog, the change was so profound - the music would suddenly go three-dimensional, and it felt much more engaging.
Kevin Shields
Oftentimes, when people cut a record from analog tape to vinyl, they digitize the music first I did a little investigating and discovered that most vinyl records that I've ever heard were digitized before they were put onto vinyl.
Kevin Shields

Kevin Shields
Even I just listen to some bands on YouTube. I'll think, Oh, I quite like that, I should buy it someday, but I don't get around to buying half the stuff I liked.
Kevin Shields
When I'm listening to stuff on the computer or through a horrible little speaker on my phone, and then I hear the real version with the bass and everything, I sometimes don't like it as much. I definitely believe that any medium is viable in that respect.
Kevin Shields
I had the time to take the original analog tapes and fix all the things I didn't like, so all I left was essentially the benefits of the analog with none of the disadvantages.
Kevin Shields
When I was a teenager, I learned that in order to play guitar like Johnny Ramone, it takes a huge amount of physical effort.
Kevin Shields
In reality, there's a limit to putting a record out yourself. When it comes to working with major record companies in the context of them owning anything, though, that will never happen. Ever. In my life.
Kevin Shields
I buy magazines. I'm not floating around in my own universe. I'm interested in everything.
Kevin Shields
The French were always masters at mid-range. And I like the attitude.
Kevin Shields
The corporate system is fully psychopathic, and any creative people who enter into business with any of these organizations come up against a lifetime of issues. You just deal with it as you go along. It'll keep on happening until people reorganize the organizations.
Kevin Shields
I do need to loosen up a bit, and that usually does come with old age. That's the intention.
Kevin Shields
I love when things bend out of shape. That's why I love drum and bass music.
Kevin Shields
As I get older, I realize a lot of the things I could have done - things that I didn't think were so great at the time - actually would have been enjoyable.
