Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.
Maybe if they all could he combined - art, rock and fashion. Those were always my favorite things.
Jacksonville back in the 1960s was kind of a redneck town. There were only two or three places where you could play our kind of hard rock - or 'hippie music' as it was called back then. You had to go to Georgia or some place else.
Plus, I very much like the feeling of height, and buildings have even more of a feeling of height than rock faces.
I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
I don't like rock opera with back beats.
Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.
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.
You don't need a uniform color: We used a mixture of brick red, browns and grays, and then threw in seashells, branches and various types of rock, so our walls ended up looking like cave paintings!
We did that with people like Chris Rock, Woody Harrelson, and the environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill.
Punk rock is very rebellious, of course, but it also means thinking for yourself.
Every piece has its own identity which we develop by the rule 'We know no limits.' We follow the inspiration of the moment and don't worry if what we're playing is alternative, progressive or fusion rock.
The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll.
Latin music has many international influences - pop, rock, country, Brazilian sounds, and alternative styles.
After quitting my job with Sea Rock, I became a Mukta Arts flunky.
Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.
The friendship we share grows amidst the craggy rock pond; reeds of water spray fireflies scented with bonfires.
Mars still remains the astrobiology community's number one choice for 'nearest rock with life,' but there are many researchers who argue that the moons of Jupiter are better bets. In particular, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are all thought to hide vast oceans of liquid water beneath their icy, outer skins.
I usually go to Lush for hair products. I had no idea that this existed, but they have a shampoo rock, and it looks like a bar of soap, and I was tripping out when they told me it was a shampoo, so that's pretty sweet.
I rush to add that I find the Web infinitely useful for rustling up information, settling arguments or locating the legends of rock stars.
This is funny because I just had a job over the summer for VH1, a project I did called Strange Frequency where I got to play a Goth rock band singer.
'Waking the Fallen' truly encompasses everything that Avenged Sevenfold was at that time. It was us being fearless, us showing our roots in heavy metal, punk, rock n' roll, and not being afraid to try everything under the sun when it comes to writing music.
I have the same friends I've had for years and the same family. Unless you love rock n' roll and Hollywood parties and having your photo taken, I don't think necessarily things need to change too much.
Kurt Cobain is one of the reasons I started doing music because I just loved to watch them rock out.
In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.
When I write in the studio, I tend to gravitate toward the ability to play really loud, aggressive, post-punk stuff, with big, heavy guitars and a big rock drum sound.
My mom is definitely my rock.
Scientists are not these guys in lab coats deep in the inner bowels of universities and hospitals with their Bunsen burners. They're the people molding the culture that we live in, the future of our culture, and the technology we rely on every day. These are the rock stars of our time right now.
As much as I like to explore the world, I explore music - from classical to rock.
If God is so powerful, can he create a rock which he cannot lift?
I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.
In archaeology, context is the basis of many discoveries that are imputed to the deliberate workings of intelligence. If I find a rock chipped in such a way as to give it a sharp edge, and the discovery is made in a cave, I am seduced into ascribing this to tool use by distant, fetid and furry ancestors.
For better or worse, we have evolved for sure, but we've also maintained a certain core about who we are, which is we were raised on late '50s and early '60s rock n' roll and R&B, and you can always hear that throughout. And that's just always been who we were. As much as we've evolved, that's stayed the same.
After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll.
The expression of this idea is Queens of the Stone Age, but the idea is that you will never slack on the music and will always humble yourself at the alter of Rock.
