“I guess my guitar heroes shifted from people like Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix to people like Johnny Marr or John Squire.” Quote by Tad Kubler
“That solo on "Lord, I'm Discouraged" in terms of notes it isn't anything like it, but in terms of aesthetic, it's direct rip-off from the "November Rain" solo. In fact, when I did it, I imagined myself walking out of a church, walking out onto a cliff and doing a guitar solo. Slash has always been one of my favorites because the guy uses a lot of melody in his solos.” GuyTermChurchLordWalkingRainDirectMelodyAestheticDiscouragedNovember Author:Tad Kubler
“Slash can take three notes and make a beautiful solo. And that's one thing I've always really admired about his guitar playing. I'm a huge Slash fan all around.” Beautiful Author:Tad Kubler
“If I start to go around and look for stuff that's being written about me or about the band, chances are I'm not going to find what I'm looking for or what I'd want to be hearing. If I go out and look for it and it's out there, I'm really going to notice when it's not. And I'd hate to think that that would impact any decisions I'm making.” ThinkingHateChanceDecision Author:Tad Kubler
“Athletes often start life at the opposite end of the wealth and prestige spectrum, but as soon as they exhibit an unusual talent for swinging a bat or sinking a free-throw they may find that the rules have been suspended for them. They are waved through school and into the pros, and incidents of bad behavior are overlooked or covered up.” MayHas BeensEndsSchoolWealthTalentBehaviorOppositesAthleteCoveredUnusualBatsIncidentsSpectrumExhibitsSinkingPrestigeOverlookedSuspendedBad BehaviorFree ThrowCovered Up Author:Jeffrey Kluger
“One thing I've always been really proud of about our band is that we've done what we wanted to do, what we enjoy doing, and we've been really lucky that people have responded to it the way that they have. As long as we continue to really enjoy what we do and make decisions with integrity, I'm hoping people continue to respond to that.” PeopleLongDoneEnjoyDecisionProudIntegrityLucky Author:Tad Kubler
“I hope that a German foreign policy in 2028 will be part of a European foreign policy, because even the strong country of Germany won't really have a voice in the world if it is not part of a European voice.” WorldCountryStrongPolicyForeign Policy Author:Sigmar Gabriel
“It is clear that Germany needs a foreign policy in which we jointly define European interests. Thus far, we have often defined European values, but we have been much too weak in defining mutual interests. To preempt any possible misunderstandings: We cannot give short shrift to our values of freedom, democracy and human rights.” GivingValuesInterestDemocracyPolicyWeakHuman RightsMutualForeign PolicyMisunderstanding Author:Sigmar Gabriel
“Political scientist Herfried Münkler is right: If you only take normative positions, if your focus is solely on values, you won't find success in a world where others are relentlessly pursuing their interests. In a world full of meat-eaters, vegetarians have a tough time.” WorldPoliticalValuesInterestFocusToughScientistVegetarianTough Times Author:Sigmar Gabriel
“In the past, Germany could rely on the French, the British and, especially, the Americans, to assert our interests in the world. We have always criticized the U.S. for being the global police, and it was often appropriate to do so. But we are now seeing what happens when the U.S. pulls back. If the U.S. leaves the room, other powers immediately walk in. In Syria, it's Russia and Iran. In trade policy, it's China. These examples show that, ultimately, we are no longer achieving either - neither the dissemination of our European values nor the advancement of our interests.” WorldPastValuesInterestAchievePolicyPoliceTradeRelySyria Author:Sigmar Gabriel
“When you think back today to a time more than 70 years ago when Germany was a terrible place, a place people were afraid of, it is a wonderful development that we have gone from being a terrible place to a place that people dream of.” PeopleThinkingDreamTodayWonderfulTerrible Author:Sigmar Gabriel
