I was in bands, but they were punk bands, and you plug in the guitars, you turn them up really loud, you've got four or five other people on stage with you, you've got some protection from when they throw lighters. You can always hide behind the lead singer or the bass player. Oscar Isaac

You People Hide Protection Punk Stage Bass Bass Player Other Guitars Plug Some Throw Lead Lead Singer Singer Always Got Were Up Loud Five Bands Behind Them Turn Really Four Player

It's all a progression towards hopefully one day making a record that can be the definitive you can offer. Some bands come in with that at first, and the great bands never really stray from that. I want to earn my stripes. Paolo Nutini

I wasn't necessarily frustrated in Fall Out Boy, but there were things that didn't get satisfied, desires left wanting. We didn't all meet on the same kind of music.

I lived at the Gramercy Park Hotel for about 10 years. It was terrific. It was a pleasantly run-down hotel of the '70s and '80s with a mix of older, rent-controlled apartment dwellers, Europeans and new wave and punk bands. The room service was great, the hamburger was terrific, and they had a doctor who made house calls. Paul Shaffer

I don't think I understood guitar rock as well as I probably should have. I don't think I understood bands like Led Zeppelin. In their era, everyone had such a regard for them because of them ushering in rock n' roll and this larger-than-life lifestyle. But then they had these songs that would just not stop. I didn't fully get it. Pete Wentz

In the late '70s, the conditions that bands had to endure were, shall we say, not as civilized as they are today. People were a lot more aggressive back then.

Today Music Art Good Suffering People Better Aggressive Late Back Say Definitely Would More Shall Civilized Argue Good Thing Generally Had Make Were Conditions Lot Bands Endure Then Your Suffer Thing

Me People Fans Honor Year Few Every Way Hopefully Make Go Lot Sell Up Bands Artists Justin Justin Bieber Justin Timberlake Taylor Taylor Swift Swift Many Platinum Million Million People
