I have the distinction of being the only member of the Allman Brothers who has never missed a single show. I have played every single show the Allman Brothers have ever played.
From Butch Trucks
I feel like the Cal Ripkin of rock n' roll.
When we're playing, when we're really, really going... you're just in the moment. You're not thinking about yesterday, tomorrow, or anything else. The brain gets out of the way. Your body just does what it knows how to do, and it's just... it's like a religion.
Eric Clapton has earned all of our respect. He is the greatest. He opened the doors for us. Without Cream, there is no Allman Brothers.
The Allman Brothers 1969 to 1971... were all about... jumping off the cliff... Just taking music and being adventurous with it.
When we started, it was so intense: it was like a religion. And when you played with Duane Allman, you either gave it your all or you got out.
When you're good-looking, I think you usually don't have to work as hard.
These people that dress up in spandex trousers with all the extraordinary makeup - I find it incredibly repulsive, always have.
I loathe and detest heavy metal.
A lot of these guys come up and say, 'Man, you were my influence, the way you thrashed the drums.' They don't seem to understand I was thrashing in order to hear what I was playing. It was anger, not enjoyment - and painful.
