I am a Yes fan, ultimately. I've been a member of the band, but I was always a fan of the band first.
Well, a sort of epiphany: I was in a great band. And it's very cool to be at 53 and realise that when you were a kid you were in a great band.
But, then again, I wouldn't call myself an indie-rock supporter even if there are some really good bands out there and there will always be some real good new bands.
I always just wanted to be the singer or the bass player in the band. I'd love to have a band, where I was obviously the singer, but where it wasn't me, it wasn't my name.
I was kind of bored playing drums in a band. Which was depressing, because playing in the band was kind of a golden ticket.
I know that starting out as a young band, it's really easy to get lost with bands that sound the same or with the plethora of music that's out there.
My mom was in a punk rock band called The Trash Women, and they toured and all of that. She had me when she was 17.
I have been doing merch' since I was 15 and in bands when I was a teenager - silk-screening shirts, making the emulsion in my mom's closet I converted into a dark room, through college. That's essentially how us bands survived was selling homemade t-...

An army marches on its stomach.
I still think the best metal bands have a blues feel. The first Black Sabbath album is kind of a bludgeoning of blues. Deep Purple also started out as a blues band.
I was such a massive fan of all the '60s pop bands, but if I had to single out one band, it would definitely be The Beatles.
I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.
I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
It's valid that the Strokes and the Pleased have been influenced by some of the same bands. But it's invalid in the sense that we listen to the Strokes and try to sounds like them. I think that they are a good band.
When you look at bands like Take That, who have come back bigger than ever, you can see there will always be a market for good pop bands.
My faith plays a big part in who I am: a Christian guy playing pop-rock music. I'm in a pop-rock band, not a Christian band.
I love music, and I love drumlines. I like school bands a lot. There's nothing wrong with cheerleading, but I'd rather be a band geek. It's a little more interesting.
