I do like alternative rock and rap, but as far as inspirational, then I go full-on orchestra. It fills up your entire being. – Osric Chau
When we were first started we were doing a lot of Motown stuff, but actually playing it more in a rock way. Everybody in the band sang and we did a lot of harmonies. – Roy Wood
I am an amateur mountain climber. Once or twice a year I go off to Chamonix in the French Alps, under Mont Blanc, and with a guide do treks that include rock climbing at high altitude. – Robert Littell
I’ve always played every amp I’ve ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that’s how you get your sustain. – Ritchie Blackmore
Rock guitar has been around for decades now, and there are so many strong traditions, and so much of it is just burned into my fingers. So, nine times out of 10, when I pick up the guitar to jam something, it sounds pretty cliche. – Rivers Cuomo
I’m not a folk or jazz singer, more a hard-edged pop singer – with some rock, and song hooks. – Phoebe Snow
I did the rock ‘n roll-pop cliche of getting burnt out. I’m not the first person that happened to, and I’m sure I won’t be the last. – Robbie Williams
I was proud of the waves I had made, but wondered how many boats I was supposed to rock. – Phil Donahue
I don’t care where the Cure is placed in the pantheon of rock. I don’t care if we’re perceived as relevant. We’re never worried how we fit in. I don’t even want to fit in. – Robert Smith
I liked playing Morph in Mash and Peas and doing Phil Daniels in the Blur Rock Profile was a giggle too. – Paul Putner
Every generation of rock musician will understand that we wouldn’t be anywhere without the support of teenagers buying the records. – Roger Daltrey
I started out as a drummer, and now play with a back-to-basics rock band called the ‘Luddites.’ I’m happiest when I’m behind the kit. – Rick Astley
All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don’t subscribe to any of that. It’s all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who’s to say what is and isn’t a certain type of music? – Ozzy Osbourne
The winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. – The Bible Matthew 7:25
When I was 15 and dreaming about being a rock star… I thought the whole point of it was to get chicks. – Rivers Cuomo
