More quotes by Steve Diggle
When I've met people that work in any walk of life they say, If it wasn't for punk I wouldn't be doing it this way. I think spiritually, it did change the world a lot.
Steve Diggle
I like The Smiths as well. They took a cue from The Buzzcocks. They have jangly guitars instead of distorted guitars. All the Manchester bands have a character about them. The Stone Roses and The Smiths and all that. Even if you don't like them, they have a certain original sound.
Steve Diggle
A lot of people [in the U.S.] used to say punk really didn't change anything, but I think it did. It was an intangible thing, not a visible thing. It took us through to a new phase of music and a way of seeing things.
Steve Diggle
When you're writing you're affected by everything that's going on around you.
Steve Diggle
Punk gave me the strength to think, Yeah, you can stand up and be counted, and do what you want in life, and not be hoodwinked by it all, in a simple, very general sweeping way.
Steve Diggle
People wonder if the Pearl Jam audience will get into The Buzzcocks. Eddie Vedder is a big Buzzcocks fan. He used to come to see Buzzcocks before he was in Pearl Jam. If his fans like what he likes, I guess that they might like The Buzzcocks.
