Roger Daltrey Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Roger Daltrey:

A lot of the new people they choose on shows like 'American Idol' and things like that - I don't ever hear lead singers. They always seem to choose to pick people that are great singers, fabulous singers, but they've never got the voice that makes a great lead singer.

First of all, you have to understand that I'm like anybody else. When I hear my voice on a record I absolutely loathe my voice. I cannot stand my voice.

Roger Daltrey

I don't know many singers who actually do like the sound of their own voice.

Roger Daltrey

No, I was two years older than the other guys. I was a war baby. My family were a lot poorer than they were. I'd had to fight too hard for anything I had in my life and to smash things up for me.

Roger Daltrey

European fisheries are a disaster. The American fisheries are well-kept.

Roger Daltrey

I don't think there's any way it could have failed. We don't know failure in this band. We didn't know failure. We got to know it a little after awhile but at that time there was no such word.

Roger Daltrey

I call it fan fatigue. I went to see Bob Dylan last year, who I think is absolutely incredible, but he suffers from his audience.

Roger Daltrey

I wanted to be in a band that shared ideas and were in it together.

Roger Daltrey

Part of the early Who career was all about knocking people's confidences out.

Roger Daltrey

I hope I die before I get old.

Roger Daltrey

Rock & roll was the only thing I wanted to get into.

Roger Daltrey

You're better off being a brick layer if you're going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.

Roger Daltrey

I love Sell Out, I think it's great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It's got humor, great songs, irony.

Roger Daltrey

I've always felt that music is an art form that deserves to live the life of the artist.

Roger Daltrey

Fifty per cent of rock is having a good time.

Roger Daltrey

We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

Roger Daltrey

Imagine if you could go watch Mozart today, even if it's the last, crappiest show he ever played. What a thrill that would be.

Roger Daltrey

I enjoy singing; being in touch with something that is inside of me.

Roger Daltrey

But contrary to what some people seem to think, I was never a bully. I was just a hard man.

Roger Daltrey

My love for the band is still there. It hasn't changed, maybe that's why it's so painful these days.

Roger Daltrey

I think if Keith Moon was here today and you asked him to recall most of his early life or most of his life, he wouldn't be able to recall it.

Roger Daltrey

I don't like Tommy on Broadway at all. I like the music, I'm pleased with Pete's success but I don't like what they've done to it.

Roger Daltrey

I'm not anti-fox hunting because, to me, shooting foxes is even worse and the results are horrendous.

Roger Daltrey

We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.

Roger Daltrey

Well, for the My Generation album, there was nothing to be nervous about in them days. We used to take every day as it came. Every day was just a gig and I think we did the recording between gigs literally.

Roger Daltrey

A lot of the new people they choose on shows like 'American Idol' and things like that - I don't ever hear lead singers. They always seem to choose to pick people that are great singers, fabulous singers, but they've never got the voice that makes a great lead singer.

Roger Daltrey

I've never wanted to be anyone other than who I am.

Roger Daltrey

You can do too much and oversell your market.

Roger Daltrey

I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.

Roger Daltrey

We were too rough at the edges to be a pop group.

Roger Daltrey

In those days I don't' think they were even demos.

Roger Daltrey

I always used to develop a cold going into the studio.

Roger Daltrey

Monterey, I remember, but I seem to remember the Fillmore West, that we played the week before Monterey. That was much more memorable for me. The first time in San Francisco. They were good gigs.

Roger Daltrey

All you could do was to see them. We were backstage when the Beatles were on and you could just about hear a noise. It was just literally screaming.

Roger Daltrey

I feel there must be an enormous amount of really talented songwriters out there who can't sing.

Roger Daltrey

You know, I was a school rebel. Whatever they said do, I didn't do. I was totally anti-everything.

Roger Daltrey

Every generation of rock musician will understand that we wouldn't be anywhere without the support of teenagers buying the records.
