I suppose the best comedy shows do have the rock n' roll feeling - if it's a great night, and the roof is raised yeah, it's a similar feeling, sure.
I think perhaps I touch on a different passion in people. It’s not simple the passion of rock ‘n’ roll rebellion - it’s more romantic than sexual.
You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.
With pop music and pop musicians, you know everything about everyone all the time, particularly their physical appearance. With female musicians, that's made a big thing of, and I think people, certainly with me, have appreciated a bit of mystery.
Liverpool was an industrial town, a poor town. The people fought hard for what they wanted to achieve and there was a hunger there, and that hunger has remained with the musicians.
My primary influences were the best jazz players from the 50's and 60's and later some of the pop people from the same time period along with the better of the well-known blues musicians.
...It's an unmeetable level of writing. But even if it's something I feel like I can't ever attain, it doesn't crush my spirit. I figured out early on that you gotta find your own strengths and hone them rather than trying to emulate something that impresses you.
The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.
If you don't have sex and you don't do drugs, your rock 'n' roll better be awfully good.
I thought of nothing else but rock 'n' roll; apart from sex and food and money--but that's all the same thing, really.
I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.
You can't stop rock-n-roll!
I always write with an audience in mind. If I feel that [connection] coming back at me then I feel like I'm doing my job. That's why people come to my music - for some emotional experience or a perspective, either on their own lives, or on the world that they're living in.
I was listening to music long before rock 'n roll.
I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.
If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.
When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.
What I'm doing is keeping the spirit of Rock'N Roll alive. Rock 'n roll is supposed to be fast and loud and its supposed to piss off the older generation.
The soul of rock 'n' roll is mistakes, and making mistakes work for you. The people who shy away from mistakes and play it safe have no business playing rock 'n' roll.
There's always gonna be rock n' roll bands, there's always gonna be kids that love rock n' roll records, and there will always be rock n' roll.
It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ’n’ Roll)
I think that the best rock n' roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that whole feeling.
