“I think bands will actually make more money without record companies; a much bigger share of the money will go to the bands. You won't have record shops taking 40 percent of the money. You won't have record labels taking 40 percent of the money. So they don't have to sell as many albums as they used to in the past. So it's not necessarily a bad thing if record companies disappear.” IfsThinkingPastUsedCompanyRecordsShareBandPercentBiggerSellsAlbumsDisappearLabelsShopsBad ThingsMore MoneyRecord CompaniesRecord Labels Author:Richard Branson
“When I was a teenager in a band playing, everything was great. I still don't feel any different. I still wake up with the same love and passion as when I did this with the band. Because my life in music has let me live the kind of life that I've loved, and I've been able to share it with others and take care of the people I love.” PeopleFeelsKindStillsDifferentCareAblePassionShareBandLet MeWake UpTake CareTeenagerLove And PassionSame Love Author:Frank Wildhorn
“I love my brother and respect his talent but his present demand that I must give up my equal share of the band and that our drummer for 28 years and original partner, Steve Gorman, relinquish 100 percent of his share, reducing him to a salaried employee, is not something I could agree to.” LoveGivingYearsShareTalentBrotherBandDemandEqualGiving UpPercentOriginalsAgreePartnersMy BrotherEmployeeReducingDrummerLove My Brother Author:Rich Robinson

“I'm experiencing the mood to go out and share the music. I don't look at these concerts as a platform for people to watch me, look at me. No, a tour is about an interaction. A thing, myself, a band, and the people who support what I do and enjoy what I do.” PeopleLooksEnjoyWatchesSupportShareBandMoodConcertsInteractionPlatformsLook At MeWatch Me Author:Lenny Kravitz
“Chopper asked to be in our band back in 1999 (we already had chosen somebody else who ended up annoying us) and then we kept running into and hanging out with him at concerts and car shows. We became friends. He shares the same passions as we do and every time we ran into him he looked like he was ready to step on stage with the Cramps. He was in Mr. Badwrench and before that he was in the Maus Maus when he was a teenager.” ShowsRunningPassionStepsShareStageCarReadyBandChosenTeenagerRanHanging OutConcertsAnnoyingCrampsChoppers Author:Lux Interior
“Music is my catharsis for that. It's an incredible blessing that I have this way of expressing myself through music and lyric, and I'm so grateful for that in moments of pain or of suffering - that I have this means of channeling it; it's really amazing. My band as well - having them around and being able to jump on stage and bond together and share that energy is really uplifting as well.” WayWellsMeanMomentsAblePainTogetherSufferingEnergyShareStageBlessingBandMusic IsGratefulIncrediblesUpliftingChannelingCatharsisReally AmazingSo GratefulMusic And Lyrics Author:Kimbra
“The visual side of being a performer or in a band is, to me, as important as the music. I know not everyone shares that same opinion, but when I'm writing songs or working on lyrics or coming up with an idea, I think about videos as I'm in the studio. If I had all the money in the world, I would have the most amazing videos ever, you know? You're saying grandiose, and big; if the song warrants it, I try to push the visuals as far as I can.” IfsThinkingKnowsWorldWritingTryingI CanImportantIdeasBigsSongSidesOpinionShareBandStudiosVideoVisualsPerformersWriting SongsMost AmazingWarrantsGrandiose Author:Tamaryn
“Most fans probably wouldn't understand that because they're not in bands, but when there's too many cooks in the kitchen it can really ruin things, it can destroy a band.
