    ]]>    Alice Cooper Quoteshttp://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Alice+Cooper+Quotessvennyhttp://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Alice+Cooper+QuotesWed, 05 Mar 2008 15:00:26 CST
  • " All I really wanted to do was make an album that was going to be just back to what I like to do... And it was a coincidence that these new bands, this new wave of bands, were doing Alice and Iggy rock."
  • "City people live the city. We live in L.A., New York, we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen."
  • "Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion. "
  • "From the moment I leave my house or my hotel room, the public owns me. The public made Alice Cooper and I can't imagine ever turning my back on my fans. "
  • "He (Marilyn Manson) has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original."
  • '"He started to, but we said we weren't happy with the feelings we got off the cut... the album now is more us than the other production that Frank did."
  • "I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I think that's a fantastic reaction. I think that they're really hearing something then."
  • "I think he was trying to produce more of a... sort of a cheaper image. "
  • "I'm 18 and I like it! "
  • "If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play."
  • "If you confine it, you're confining a whole thing. If you make it spontaneous, so that anything can happen, like we don't want to confine or restrict anything. What we can do, whatever we can let happen, you just let it happen. "
  • "If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. "
  • "It's a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement's one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one. "
  • "It's Frank's painting on the cover. We were originally going to use a Salvador Dali painting that we got permission from Salvador Dali to use, and Frank found this one, and it really did fit the music much more. "
  • "It's like this - these five members have been influenced of course by other groups, because that's where this generation's groups came from - an environment like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and The Who. People like that."
  • "It's not an anti-sex trip. Like, we're taking sex, which is probably another half of American entertainment, sex and violence, and we're projecting it, and we're saying this is the way everything is right now. "
  • "People that haven't seen us yet are shocked because they think that Alice Cooper must be a female folksinger. They don't expect the whole thing. "
  • "So what this is is us, our personalities refined down on to a stage performance. In other words, the way we play is the end product of the way we live - we live in the cities, you see. "
  • "That was very close to getting killed. Usually at pop festivals we have people jumping on stage."
  • "That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm. "
  • "That's where their heart is from the sex and violence of TV and the movies, and that was our influence. We weren't brought up under a blues influence."
  • "The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades. "
  • "They coincide with each other but they don't at the same time. So what it is, is when people come to see us the first time, they see this."
  • "They pick all of us out, and then they decide, they computerize, decide if they like it or don't like it, and then they go home, and then they come back again because they're not sure what they saw. "
  • "They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it. "
  • "We can only take it so far, because man can only take it so far, lower self can only take it so far, and you have to realize that the public is only at a certain place. "
  • "We don't mind that, that's making them accept more, making fun that we accept that. The thing is this is the way we are. We think it's a gas. "
  • "We got on his label, and the Bizarre organization is just going up and up. So we have faith. "
  • "We identified with Frank. We were of course influenced - when everybody hears Zappa, they're influenced by him, just like The Beatles. "
  • "We just set it up and recorded it the way we played it. But that was the way we played it then."
  • "We like reactions - a reaction is walking out on us, a reaction is throwing tomatoes at the stage, that's a healthy psychological reaction. "
  • "We play it differently now. If we did the album now it would be different. "
  • "We started combining the use of light and the use of theatrics and the use of as many art forms as possible, and it's still growing - that's the whole idea of it. "
  • "We try to be as much involved in our product as possible, because then it's us."
  • "We understood that there was someone thinking the same way and so when we got together with him it worked perfectly. "
  • "We wanted it more live and raw. We didn't want a studio sound."
  • "We're tired of that and we won't accept that, we won't accept the blues except certain blues people that are real blues people. "
  • "Well, all of it is a freak thing, because it doesn't coincide with what the normal person thinks of the normal city. "
  • "Well, we were all in high school and we got together, and in college - we were in art college together."
  • "When we get together and rehearse, which is always living with each other, we always talk about what would make it better, what would mean more, what would say more. So we're always improving and growing. "
  • "Yet I was Marilyn Manson - times 10."
  • "You can't get the visual thing on the record as much as you'd like to. We produced this album, and we'd never done that before, except when we produced singles for ourselves."
  • "You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is."

    • ]]>    Tom Morello Quoteshttp://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Tom+Morello+QuotesFarorehttp://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Tom+Morello+QuotesTue, 04 Mar 2008 15:47:25 CST
  • "A musician's or artist's responsibility is a simple one, and that is, through your music to tell the truth."
  • "And I think that on this record, we've accomplished the mission we set out at the beginning of the first rehearsals. And that was, not to just make the best Rage Against the Machine record, but to make the best Rage record by a wide margin. We've made the heaviest record to date and it's our funkiest record to date."
  • "Music is not some stuffy college lecture, ... On a good day, Rage Against the Machine is not able to just rock you like a hurricane, but also to fuel the engine with indignation and the band's activist convictions."
  • "We've been able to have our cake and eat it, too. Every song, every T-shirt, is absolutely a pure expression of what we want to do. And it connects."
  • "The video tells a very simple story and a very real story. It's a story of a woman who loses her husband and a child who loses his father. That's the simple story. The bigger picture is that the culture of violence at home breeds a culture of violence abroad, and there's a price to be paid for that. And that price is the loss of lives and families destroyed and to sum that up in a three-and-a-half-minute video is something that was pretty incredible."
  • "It was a terrible natural disaster but an even greater human catastrophe."
  • "We offer a stark contrast to the bland escapism that chokes the charts."
  • "It's not like we just changed a rapper for a singer, ... We happen to have one of the greatest rock singers of all time."
  • "Music and the arts feed our souls, but a decent wage puts food on the table. Musicians, fans of music, and grassroots political organizations are a potent force to fight for social justice."
  • "It's a venue where you can really feel the history. You know, it was one of my first pilgrimages. I went on a rock tour just to go there and check it out."
  • "We've done smaller tours at the beginning of records, we've done Lollapalooza , but this is our first real official Audioslave tour."
  • "We're very involved in picking the bands. Kasbian is great. I know less about Seether , but I hear they rock."
  • "We were playing some Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden songs in the past. Between Rage, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, there's 11 or 12 records of our own that we could draw from."

  • "I've always had to do things my way; I've gotten high my way, I've gotten clea n my way, I've been in and out of relationships my way. I've taken myself to the edges of life my way. And I'm still here. Whether or not I deserve to be is another story."
  • "I'd like to dedicate this song real quick, and I'm not going to say anything offensive so that we can make it on TV. This song isn't dedicated to drinking or drug addiction. It's a walk in the park and this is somethin' called Nightrain. "
  • "I've taken myself to the edges of life my way. And I'm still here."
  • "We're just a band. We don't have to be the 'cool' thing or the 'in' thing. It's real important we get out there and express ourselves and play."

  • "If I don't die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.

  • "I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful."
  • "I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it."

  • "An actor's body should be full of emotions, whether it is happiness or sorrow, pain or joy, enraged or elated. You have to express yourself with your whole body. Japanese actors don't normally do this. What I'm doing as an action star is what every actor should be doing. Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile or cry with us, we are not actors. That may be idealistic -- but it's true."
  • "I'm done doing what I swore an oath to God 28 years ago to never do again. I've created, "something that kills people." And in that purpose I was a success. I've done this, because philosophically I'm sympathetic to your aim. I can tell you with no ego, this is my finest sword. If on your journey, you should encounter God, God will be cut."
  • "For those regarded as warriors, when engaged in combat the vanquishing of thine enemy can be the warrior's only concern. Suppress all human emotion and compassion. Kill whoever stands in thy way, even if that be Lord God, or Buddha himself. This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat."
  • "Funny, you like samurai swords... I like baseball."

  • " Sexuality is an expression of our spirituality. Sex makes you get real."
  • "I love doing what I do, but I don't like seeing the finished product."
  • "When I did TV shows and movies, the studios did demographic research. They were shocked to find that my audience isn't just men who are too drunk to turn off the TV after football. It's women, too. I don't know exactly why, other than that I've tried to remain true to myself for all these years. I have gone through a lot, and I've been open about it. Maybe they look at me and can see how you can grow up, have children, continue to be sexy, get married and divorced and, though you grew up poor, live the American dream. I'm very blessed. I'm happy for it all."
  • "I thought of a great way to celebrate my Finnish heritage at home. I'm going to look into opening a chain of strip clubs, and I'll call them Lapland!!!"
  • "What's going on outside? It was really nice - all the fans out there with big signs. "
