Taylor Hawkins Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Taylor Hawkins:

Rock will never be dead for me. Do I like a lot of what I hear on rock music radio? No, not for the most part. I'm not a fan of the regurgitated Pearl Jam and Nickelback crap that's the biggest thing in the Midwest. There isn't that big of a market for rock anymore. Every once in a while something happens and you like it.

'Boy,' 'October,' 'War,' 'The Unforgettable Fire' and 'The Joshua Tree,' those records, they're part of my musical DNA and structure.

The one thing I do know is that I'm the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.

Taylor Hawkins

I love Donna Summer, and I love ABBA. I love late '70s disco. I love the Bee Gees. I just love that period of recording.

Taylor Hawkins

In the Foo Fighters, my main job is to be the drummer, and that's enough.

Taylor Hawkins

The records that I grew up listening to had feel, and the drummers that inspired me - like Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Phil Collins and Roger Taylor - all had their own voice and individual style.

I don't have perfect pitch. My drums sound like a drummer, not a drum machine.

Taylor Hawkins

I don't take breaks, man. In the past, I used to spend my free time getting in trouble, and now I spend it working on my music. If I'm not playing drums with my cover band, Chevy Metal, I'm working on songs for myself.

Taylor Hawkins

I think that debut albums are supposed to sound sort of raw. You don't want to record 'Sgt. Pepper's' as your first album, because where do you go from there?

Taylor Hawkins

I know I'm not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that's okay. You don't have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That's not what it's about.

Taylor Hawkins

I don't like guitar solos that are like, 'Look at me, look at me!' I like guitar solos that are little songs within the songs.

Taylor Hawkins

Life is funny. If you don't laugh, you're in trouble.

Taylor Hawkins

The drummer is stereotypically the dumb guy. Maybe that's why I always respect drummers who do more than drum.

Taylor Hawkins

Why go on vacation when work is so much more fun.
