I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
From Bruno Mars
I definitely don't plead guilty to being a heartthrob.
Songwriters, you have to work - you have to wait for residuals. You have to pray that the song's going to be a hit. And then a year later, you might get a check.
I've definitely seen bands before they made money kind of change their thing on the next tour, and I prefer it when it's a little more raw.
I've had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, 'Your music sucks, you don't know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don't know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.'
You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he's showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it's confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn't feel like he deserves to be there.
I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.
I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid.
You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.
What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.
