The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.
I grew up in a school that had a big music program, and it was incredible. It's what I looked forward to during the day. I had chorus, strings, band.
Yeah, I've played a lot of instruments, and I played in a lot of bands growing up, and I've even had to play music in a lot of films that I've done.
There are a lot of bands who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a lifestyle. It's not about popularity and all that crap.
I was just a music lover who wondered what it would sound like if Otis Redding strapped on a guitar and played in a punk band. That's it.
I've discovered all kinds of music and done all kinds of music over the past 40 years, from playing tango with Piazzolla to all the different bands I've had.
I definitely listened to country music. I don't think I listened to hair bands as much as I did Bruce Springsteen and U2 and Aerosmith.
I was feeling really restless in my hard-rock band. I wanted to learn more about storytelling in music, and that's what country music is.
I think my music has always been a mixture, depending on whom I'm working with - what band, what musicians, what producer.
I'm actually loving the soundtrack to 'The Secret Circle' that our music supervisor Liza Richardson puts together, like Washed Out and Cults, but my favorite band is Bootstraps.
In France the music schools are a bit old fashioned. I was more excited about doing my own stuff or to play with my friend in my band, than studying the piano.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.
Marty McFly: [introducing his band] All right. [microphone feedback] Marty McFly: We're the, uh... We're the Pinheads.
Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.
In high school I wanted to be a rock star and was in a lot of bands.
It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
My favorite band is probably The Cure. We can throw Talking Heads in there too, I listen to them a lot. But The Cure.
I don't see us as a big media gimmick band. We don't have a cultivated appearance or anything like Kiss.
I judge people based solely on the quality of bands on the black concert t-shirts they wear.
When I was younger and first started watching MTV I loved watching TRL. I loved watching my favorite singers/bands perform.
I hate it when bands do that; they're so proud of their new album, they have to play all of it and a couple of golden oldies.
