Bands are like people. They're born and then they die.
Mary Timony

Bands that have positive lyrics that give people hope, I applaud them, you know I think we need to see more bands come out like that. I think it is great.
Michael Sweet

Bands like Nirvana had theatrical sensibilities, playing with image, challenging assumptions people were making about them, the apex being Kurt Cobain in a dress to make a point.
Amanda Palmer

Bands now are always trying to make their presence known through social networking and whatnot, but that's just the same as bands before the Internet age trying to connect with fans in some other way. But I don't follow people on Facebook, I think that's creepy. I wouldn't want them following me on Facebook. I don't even have a mailing list.

Bands-- enough with the crayon face-paint-- you're better than that.
Ted Leo

Bands don't last. Bands don't last forever - it's a rarity when they do.
Jerry Cantrell

Bands will always need studios. The more people there are recording at home, the more people there will be who are going to need a studio.
John Vanderslice

Bands from Akron have a sense of humor and don't tend to take themselves too seriously.
Dan Auerbach

Bands are like relationships, you know. You are kind of in a relationship with a bunch of people at one time, but this feels like a relationship that is actually working.
Ali Koehler

There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.
Gillian Jacobs

When I was 14 years old, I was a huge fan of the Velvets, the Stooges and the Modern Lovers. They are my three favourite bands. I never get sick of 'em.
Evan Dando

On the whole, it bums me out that lyrics seem to be written as afterthoughts nowadays. Not sure why this is, but hopefully things will come around again and bands will once again want to communicate ideas with their audience, and not just content themselves with providing attitude and atmosphere with clichés on top.

My start came with experimental musicians and live bands. I never played with DJ's because it wasn't really the correct fit. It fit in more with someone using a laptop to create their own electronic music. When you're doing music like that, it's hard to get more than 20 people to come to your show.

My favorite instrument is the snare drum. In Scotland, the snare drum is very prominent in Highland bands. The Scottish style of playing is in my blood. It's a very powerful instrument, but it can also be soothing, like velvet. It's a real challenge for composers.
Evelyn Glennie

My older brother and myself always played together in bands, but we never knew we would be professional musicians.
Wynton Marsalis

I haven't got a great jazz band and I don't want one. Some of the critics, Down Beat's among them, point their fingers at us and charge us with forsaking real jazz . . . It's all in what you define as 'real jazz.' It happens that to our ears harmony comes first. A dozen colored bands have a better beat than mine. Our band stresses harmony.
Glenn Miller

I've played in pipe bands in Scotland, and I've always played guitars and drums and stuff.
Ewan McGregor
Image
I'm just worn down and weary of bands whose lyrics are cryptic and self-referential.
Yannis Philippakis

When I was young I wanted to make films and then I got into folk music when I was about 12, and started going to this folk club in Auckland. My dad [Barry Andrews] was in punk and post-punk bands, so I guess it was a side of music I hadn't really listened to before - the really narrative form of songwriting.
Finn Andrews

Led Zeppelin. Queen. Deep Purple. These were the bands I listened to. I still listen to them.
Yul Vazquez

I've always been in bands writing songs with friends in order to play shows or record a future record.
Frank Iero

It's pretty easy to lose money on tour - most bands do on their first couple of tours. We're more established, but I think it was just poorly booked. It was a mess from the get-go.
Zachary Cole Smith

I like the old school heavy metal bands like AC/DC and Aeromith. I like that type of music. As the director, I tried to influence the type of music the bands in the movie would play.
Dolph Lundgren
Image
Just a lot of those bands [like The Blue Jean Committee] started off in blues, and then they all transformed into other kinds.
