Playing Music Quotes

Music is a language and different people who come along are each using that language to do something different, but all coming at it in a similar vein inasmuch as it's always community based and for the most part nonprofit. Most bands don't ever come within a mile of profit - clearly these people are not playing music to make money. Ian MacKaye
David Johansen quote: "Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show..."
Playing music is the best thing in the world. It makes show business almost bearable. David Johansen
Derek Bailey quote: "Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much...."
Playing music is not really susceptible to theory much. Circumstances affect it so much. Derek Bailey
I think the world is very much embracing this whole concept of musicians going out and playing their instruments and playing music for music as opposed to music that has something to do with some form of image or imagery. Les Claypool
Oh yeah, it's great see music and to play music in small places. And it's really fun for me to play here because, you know, I played two feet from people all night. And after all those years, it's great to be able to talk to folks. Bill Kreutzmann
In the hall itself the din of the music - for this is the real way to play a jukebox and what it was originally for - was so tremendous that it shattered Dean and Stan and me for a moment in the realization that we had never dared to play music as we wanted, and this was how loud we wanted. Jack Kerouac
The moment you start to talk about playing music, you destroy music. It cannot be talked about. It can only be played, enjoyed and listened to. John McLaughlin
Jon Fishman quote: "I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when..."
I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music. Jon Fishman
Wayne Coyne quote: "We love playing music but we're too weird to play music."
We love playing music but we're too weird to play music. Wayne Coyne
I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that. Chick Corea
That's what I was trying to say when we were talking about sound. I think that every person, whether they play music or don't play music, has a sound - their own sound, that thing that you're talking about. Ornette Coleman
We never considered ourselves to be a good band or anything, we just thought we were playing for fun and we wanted to play music that sounded like Black Sabbath or Soundgarden or the music we were into at that time. Daniel Johns
When you're playing music, say for instance, you're playing a part of the band and you're looking at your music, your horn is down into the stand. This way, it's up and it goes right on out to the audience, you know? Billy Eckstine
Allan had come down wanting to do some sort of crucial music and I'd been involved in so-called Art Music and wanted to explore other areas - we were approaching it in some quite tongue-in-cheek ways and we had a lot of fun - we spent more time laughing than playing music. Jamie Muir
I'm actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music. Tim McGraw
