I'm starting to feel like so much of rock music is derivative and boring.
Every comic is really a frustrated rock star.
Well, all rock and roll is based in artifice.
Leadbelly's guitar is in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
I like a lot of old-school R&B, soul, and classic rock.
Why do people want to know exactly who I am? Am I a poet? Am I this or that? I've always made people wary. First they called me a rock poet. Then I was a poet that dabbled in rock. Then I was a rock person who dabbled in art.
Little Rock: Have you heard about Pacific Playland? There are no zombies there. Columbus: The amusement park? Little Rock: Yep! Tallahassee: That place totally blows! [Little Rock and Wichita shoot Tallahassee angry looks] Tallahassee: ... my mind. J...
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul mu...
I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.
I'm not anti-fashion, but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.
Please. I am the queen of careful. Also, princess of punk fabulousness.
I'm thinking of remaking 'Psycho' again. Doing a third remake. The idea this time is to really change it - we're talking about doing a punk rocker setting.
I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.
There weren't a lot of career opportunities in crazy-fast hardcore punk, so you didn't have a lot of ambition, just the love and passion to play music with your friends.
Teachers didn't like me very much. They thought I was just this punk kid and they always wanted to kick me out.
I can't think of any punk who's put on an acoustic and hasn't just tried to sound like James Taylor.
Daft Punk wouldn't have normally fit into anything that was pop on the radio, but they just did it.
I've always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn't wear jewellery because it was stupid.
In the early days, myself and my friends were into punk because we had no money, just very basic instruments and skills. It was more about the ethos and the energy.
We're all bloggers and punks and rebels with cameras. There is absolutely no respect for career journalists anymore.
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.
