I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
The Clinton administration launched an attack on people in Texas because those people were religious nuts with guns. Hell, this country was founded by religious nuts with guns. Who does Bill Clinton think stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock?
As I discovered music, especially Rock 'n Roll, new territory was opened to me. I was lured by the unbridled rhythm of this art form. It was like gasoline on the fire of my youthful spirit.
Rock 'n' roll offered me a platform to speak what I felt. It also offered me a platform to support my mama and my brothers and sisters - twelve children.
I think there is always room for a timeless sounding rock band like us.
When I was a kid. I started writing when I was 13. I got my first electric guitar when I was 13, but I'd always been singing. I had my first little acoustic when I was six. But I started being in bands when I was 13. Crappy rock bands, avant-garde things where we'd, like, 'wanna go against the norm, man.'
I like to look cool and dress nice. Lil Uzi is a rock star. Just know that.
I've got rock 'n' roll in my blood.
I'm sure there are a few things in my CD collection that might surprise people. I like classical music, the blues, and I'm a big fan of alternative rock.
Rock stars are incredibly energizing to me.
Oh, happy day when the enemies of ascendancy have got to confess that people of color rock.
I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values - even if they rarely talked about them.
When friends asked me, Can we help? I'd say, Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.
I'd love to play a rock star in a movie, but for now, I'm not performing in public.
Gangsta rap was the most important movement since the beginning of rock n' roll.
I was 12 in '55 when rock and roll hit. It just completely transformed me.
Natural life, lived naturally as it is lived in the countryside, has none of that progress which is the base of happiness. Men and women in rural communities can be compared to a spring that rises out of a rock and spreads in irregular ever-widening circles. But the general principle is static.
Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world.
I don't think rock 'n roll is necessarily a young man's game. I think Neil Young is just as rock'n'roll now as he was in his 20s. I'd like to think we can still be edgy and challenging.
How gently rock yon poplars high Against the reach of primrose sky With heaven's pale candles stored.
God looked down on this country because this country was founded on the rock and that rock was our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And when the storms came and the rains came, the rock, it did not move. But over the last 15 or 20 years, something began to erode.
But there are rock and roll fans all over this continent and all over the globe, really, and we're just set at marking the planet with Styx music until the day we die.
We were on the cover of Women's Wear Daily, which was hardly rock 'n' roll, but it pleased me.
The problem is we moved to LA... The only way to be punk rock in L.A. is to be a Republican.
Def Leppard is a rock band that can sing.
We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing with the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock.
Ricky Nelson... I couldn't believe it when he died. He was a great rock star.
I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what I told everybody I was going to be when I grew up.
If there is any justice in the world, then eighties rock will never again serve to blight humanity as it did in that dark decade!
I've always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70's and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Sometimes I worked with just a background of a rock or a tree or black velvet, and just had to imagine the whole thing.
You know, with bands like Kiss back out on the road and Aerosmith coming out, we are going to be a band like that, in the sense that it's a big rock band.
I was born in '71, so I remember bits of glam rock on 'Top of the Pops' toward the late '70s, but I had no idea what kind of world it was. I didn't like the music, either.
We need to stop saying we can't rock this boat when it needs to be rocked.
I take smack because I enjoy it. I enjoy all it makes me feel. I don't do it to be in with the in crowd. I can rock out with it.
Leadbelly's guitar is in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.
