I love going on tour and playing music for people.
Music helps not the toothache.
I make music. It's kind of what I've always done.
Poetry is very similar to music, only less notes and more words.
You'd hope that no writing about music could supersede the music itself. But I do think that blogs mirror the way that we are listening. It comes at you fast and it's timely and then five minutes later we're on to something else. It caters to our desire for instant gratification. And I think blogs also have fluidity that's exciting. You have a lot of real enthusiastic music fans for the most part that are writing sometimes for a large audience, and I think certain blogs have a little too much power over what someone likes or doesn't like.
I think it was a modest thing I did (Fahrenheit 911). . . this is an election year. . . I'm not telling them how to vote. I'm saying get information about the issues. . . at first there's just silence, then there's 'Yeah!' and then there's 'Boo'. . . I have never seen a reaction like this, in all my years of touring. . . Clear Channel can't threaten to not play my records because they are not going to play them anyway.
Soft rock music isn’t rock, and it ain’t music. It’s just soft.
I do everything for my fans. I do my clothing line, my fragrance, my TV show, my music everything is based on them
The great men of music close periods; they do not inaugurate them. The pioneer work, the finding of new paths, is left to smaller men.
I can't stand any music that requires its singers to be so dumb they wear their baseball caps backwards.
I never made music for that crowd. I never made music to fit in. I made music of what I like to hear.
Never understood a lot about the world. . . music is one of the only things that makes any sense.
Jazz isn't like pop, where you sell millions of records with a hit. Your spirit and soul aren't important in pop music. But jazz is like classical music. If people like you, they'll remember you and you'll last forever.
I think punk, pop-punk, and rock music is all meshed together and I think good music is good music.
It is a mistake to think that the price of my art has become easy to me.
If you were music I would listen to you ceaselessly And my low spirits would brighten up.
Music stays in the air. It travels at the speed of breath at the sound of light. It is never not heard. It can wait centuries if it has to.
. . . the music seems creepy, like when children sing in a horror movie
Rock 'n Roll: The most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.
I don't think of myself as a legend. I just love what I do. I love playing with my band, I love going to beautiful places and give people good music. I love what I do, I`m very lucky man.
