Stone Gossard Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Stone Gossard:

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.

I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it.

Stone Gossard

Eddie is a natural leader. Jeff and I have been very much in control of previous bands we've worked in. But the way Eddie grew into being the leader of this band was the most gradual, slow and respectful process that I've ever been involved in.

Stone Gossard

I think if you exercise, your state of mind - my state of mind - is usually more at ease, ready for more mental challenges. Once I get the physical stuff out of the way it always seems like I have more calmness and better self-esteem.

Stone Gossard

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.

I walked to Seward School first through fourth grade. It's just amazing to me now that we'd walk down 10th Avenue on Capitol Hill.

Stone Gossard

It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.

Stone Gossard

Dave played an important part in our growing, but change occurs.

Stone Gossard

And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it, walk home, take my time, kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school, so that was cool.

Stone Gossard

Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.

Stone Gossard

I think when you put a new record out, everyone has a song or two that they feel people will be moved by so much that radio will be forced to play it.

Stone Gossard

Raising awareness, changing the marketplace, effecting spiritual change - whatever it is that you decide is your thing, go for it.

Stone Gossard

I like to play music. I like projects. I like excuses to hang out with my friends and play music.

Stone Gossard

I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time.

Stone Gossard

If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That's my own feeling about it.

Stone Gossard

It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.

Stone Gossard

It's a very complex scenario, and certainly Dave was, and is, not the only person in Pearl Jam with personality flaws. Everybody in this band exhibits some form of neurotic behavior. And we couldn't find a balance, a mutual respect for each other.

Stone Gossard

I love making music. I love being involved in arranging music. It's very natural to know what I want to hear next and come up with ideas that are variations of what might be good.

Stone Gossard

Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.

Stone Gossard

I like rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool kind of way.

Stone Gossard

For the most part, I really love being in a collaborative thing. And in a collaborative thing if you have a singer as good as Sean Smith or Eddie Vedder, you kind of think, well, why don't you just go ahead and let them sing? People seem to really like it.

Stone Gossard

There's been a lot of role reversal going on in the band. The roles people have been playing for a long time will always be there, but everybody's willing to try on different outfits.

Stone Gossard

I like to write music. And I think exploring with lyrics and figuring out how to make complete songs is fun. I think I have a take on it. I don't know if it's great, but it's an interesting take. It's original.

Stone Gossard

But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process.

Stone Gossard

We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.

Stone Gossard

It's really comforting for me and Jeff, at least, that after 12 years we finally feel we've reached a place where we can be more honest, real and loving with each other. And we're finally in a band that we know is good, and deserves the credit it's getting.

Stone Gossard

I think that's one of the biggest problems in rock is people thinking too much, putting too much emphasis on getting things perfect or completely sorted out. Sometimes that sound of not having everything sorted out is kind of cool.

Stone Gossard

I've seen neighborhoods that I would have never driven though because I'm riding my bike, because I'm looking for side roads, looking for maybe more hills or less hills depending if I'm exercising or not. You see a lot more, and you get the flow of a city a lot more.

Stone Gossard

If it had remained always my band, my natural tendency would have been to get more complex and arrange things more and more. That wouldn't necessarily be good for Eddie, or anyone else in the band.

Stone Gossard

It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think.

Stone Gossard

I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.

Stone Gossard

I learn stuff from making music every time I go in the studio. I'm continuing to try to find new ways to play in a song or be in a song and have a positive impact on a song.

Stone Gossard

As a songwriter, it's kind of hard to listen to your own stuff with clarity.

Stone Gossard

My daughter loves to do art stuff. As a father, I like to play with her. We break out the big pads of paper and the glitter and all the stuff. She likes to do what she likes to do. I want to do something, too. So I've just started using her same materials - a lot of crayons, a lot of sparkle, charcoal, pencils, markers and glue.

Stone Gossard

That's not to say Eddie's never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power's sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that's naturally where he ended up.

Stone Gossard

Words can have the same kind of magic as riffs can.
