But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.
I think the majority of the people in the band still play in other bands, because we're not that active. But for me, it's the only thing I want to do and it's the only thing I'm focused on. I've always played in a couple of different bands at once, but now I'm only interested in the Dead Child stuff.
Being in Nirvana was amazing an experience that will never happen again for me. And I look on them as some of the best and worst times of my life. But we're in this band, the Foo Fighters, making music for the love of music. We all came from bands that had disbanded, and we were drawn to each other because we missed playing - we missed getting in the van, loading our equipment, and watching it break down in the middle of a show. And that feeling hasn't gone away. There's nothing I'd rather do than make music. It's the love of my life.
In high school I wanted to be a rock star and was in a lot of bands.
From activism to socialising to starting new bands, 99% of everything that happens on MySpace is fun and positive. But with that many people, theres going to be a few bad apples, which presents challenges.
I like bands for a long time, even when they're not trendy anymore. I still like Arcade Fire. I've always liked Stevie Wonder.
So many bands write about the same s -. It gets real boring after a while.
I don't like meeting bands that I like, because in the slight case that they might not be cool, it kind of ruins it for me.
We never nicked stuff from other bands because that was a no-no because we were all in the same boat. You don't steal from the poor because, let's face it, they're poor. There's no sense in that.
Jon Davis of Korn and Frank Mullen of Suffocation are one of my favorite bands and from that moment, we started a conversation and lead to the song.
I get a lot from great '90s artists like Juliana Hatfield, The Pixies, and bands like That Dog and The Breeders.
If girls are ever going to start to be in bands as the norm rather than as the exception. They need to see people up there that have just started playing. That's something that had gotten lost. I think that's why there are so many great girl punk rock bands now. It's like you have to make up your own rules because the old rules don't apply. You just have to start with what you have.
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
With the Internet, bands can come and go every five minutes and the music looks disposable.
I'd been performing in bands since I was 12 which represented, at that point, about 16 years of playing music.
Sometimes you have to wonder if there isn't an ejector seat built into having a popular-music career. We were lucky when we started. We were already old when we started - you could have described our first album as "aging Brooklyn guys. " We were in our late 20s. We weren't octogenarians, but a lot of bands were already younger than us. Fortunately, we've held on to our manly good looks.
The birth of Christ our Lord was more than an incident, it was an epoch in the history of the world. . . He came to teach us the character of God, and by example and precept pointed out the path which, if we walk in it, will lead us back into his presence. He came to break the bands of death with which man was bound, and made possible the resurrection by which the grave is robbed of its victory and death of its sting.
My idea was to release four four-song EPs, just like all the old Limey shoegaze bands used to do.
It seems like a cultural shift - you see less and less bands coming up and more people leaving.
By now all rock bands are wise enough to be suspicious of music industry scum
