There's a lot of good musicians who are unheard of. Get it down before they pass away.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
There's all these musicians in the world, and anybody that takes enough time to create a record or even think about the fantasy of rock & roll, it's a vulnerable place to be in, it's a huge thing to do.
At the upper echelon of musicians in general, I guess performers in general, you have to have this kind of live-or-die, cutthroat mentality.
There are thousands of very, very talented artists who will never be known, even after they are dead.
Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.
I think the death knell for any musician is getting a job that you like and pays enough that you just stay there forever.
To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
Great musicians accept everything that they hear and find something good. They take what they like and they throw away what they don't like.
