Johnny Van Zant Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Johnny Van Zant:

Some people would do anything just to get a break; that's where the bad guys get you.

The last thing we want to do is disappoint the fans.

Johnny Van Zant

I just love going out and playing my brother's songs.

Johnny Van Zant

Some of the songs on the radio are really outrageous. I listen to the lyric. If the lyric doesn't make sense, I don't like the song.

Johnny Van Zant

My favorite singers in the world have been black singers, and you can go to any church and hear the best singers in the world - and I'm a singer, and I love singing!

Johnny Van Zant

They're great songs. How many bands wouldn't like to have a 'Freebird' or 'Sweet Home Alabama' to play every night?

Johnny Van Zant

Look at Gretchen Wilson. If she came out in the '70s she'd be the queen of Southern rock.

Johnny Van Zant

It is a scary world out there, and believe me that if someone were to try to come into my house, I want to be able to protect myself.

Johnny Van Zant

Johnny Colt is a character, and most people in Lynyrd Skynyrd are characters, so he fits in great with us. He's got an attitude, man, and I love it, and that's what we need.

Johnny Van Zant

If people can't relate to something, there's no use of the song being there.

Johnny Van Zant

John 5 - he's weird. He's a freak. I'm just kidding. He's a great guy.

Johnny Van Zant

I saw B.B. King in concert one time where he had this guy that would bring him out a glass of water and towel to wipe his forehead with.

Johnny Van Zant

I think people relate to Skynyrd; it's a working class band. They're just songs with messages. To this day, there's never been a song written that didn't have a message.

Johnny Van Zant

Two of my favorite bands, Blackberry Smoke and Black Stone Cherry, I just think both of those bands are a good new progressive kind of Southern Rock that's a little different than us but still has a rootsy thing going on.

Johnny Van Zant

We've got to take some drastic steps in this country. We can't keep spending and spending.

Johnny Van Zant

Some people would do anything just to get a break; that's where the bad guys get you.

Johnny Van Zant

Rich people know how to party, too.

Johnny Van Zant

Every redneck's dream is to write a song and have it go on a fishing show.

Johnny Van Zant

Skynyrd just hasn't gotten its just due.

Johnny Van Zant

You don't go to some other country and bash our president.

Johnny Van Zant

If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.

Johnny Van Zant

Skynyrd is a big family. We have argued, fussed, and fought.

Johnny Van Zant

My father was a Democrat.

Johnny Van Zant

So many artists try to be something that they're not.

Johnny Van Zant

You have people ask us how you get through all the stuff that Skynyrd's been through, and I think it's the music; it really is.

Johnny Van Zant

If it wasn't for Al Kooper, there might not be a Lynyrd Skynyrd. He's the one who found us at Pinocchio's in Atlanta, Georgia, and signed us to Sounds Of The South through MCA, brought the band to attention.

Johnny Van Zant

If you're going into music, work on your music and do it as well as you can. And look at it as a business. I'm in it to make a living, too.

Johnny Van Zant

Whatever people want to say, we go out there every night, and we give tribute to the songs that my brother wrote, to Ronnie and Allen Collins and Steve Gaines and Leon Wilkeson and everybody. We pay tribute every night to those people who have gone on.

Johnny Van Zant

When we are out on the road, running up and down the road playing shows, you have to be not only a member of a band but, especially with Lynyrd Skynyrd, you have to be a part of the Skynyrd nation. You have to be a part of the family.

Johnny Van Zant

We've done shows with Tim McGraw, Hank Williams Jr., Montgomery Gentry, Shooter Jennings.

Johnny Van Zant

Families do not stop living. We have got to keep going on. This is what people do.

Johnny Van Zant

We didn't grow up rich people.

Johnny Van Zant

Most of our fans are the hardworking people of the world. They are the people who have made this country great.

Johnny Van Zant

Look at Montgomery Gentry. If those boys came out in the '70s, they'd be Southern rock.

Johnny Van Zant

Everybody in Lynyrd Skynyrd loves different styles of music, and our minds are very open when it comes to writing our songs and making the band true to what the band is, but also stepping out and doing something current.

Johnny Van Zant

Who knows what the heck the future will bring.

Johnny Van Zant

There's nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.
