When I was younger ordsprog

en When I was younger, I would have told you it was my genius, but now I don't believe that for a second. Music just comes out of you, it flows through — it's weird. If you think about it intellectually, how does someone come up with two hundred riffs over their lifetime? There are only twelve notes. I don't really know where it comes from but I know when I'm getting into an area that's a little to reminiscent, so I'll wait a day and something new will come through me. It depends a lot on what I've been listening to. If I listen to classic rock for a year it's going to be bluesy or if I listen to metal for a year it's going to be heavier. I just go with it. I don't try to pre-plan anything.

en The way that we're moving forward toward music, it's all about using music together. We have hip-hop, we have rock, (but) all the kids now, we all listen to the same thing. If you're listening to rock, you're listening to rap.

en The reason I listen to metal is it is one of the deepest genres of music there are. It's meant to move you as a person, physically and emotionally. Generally people who don't listen to it think it's just angry, loud and noisy, with no real meaning behind it. This isn't always true ... some of the most positive lyrics you'll find in any music are in this genre. ... Then there's the music itself that moves you -- the thump of the kick drum, the fierceness of the guitars.

en Listen, listen, listen, listen. Eighty percent of the interview should be spent listening.

en I listen to the rock stuff, I like Bush and stuff like that. Pop-wise, no I don't listen to boy bands and stuff like that at all, ever. Never have, I know that's mostly what they play over here is pop music. In America it's not just pop music, there's rock, and there's fusion music and country music which they don't play over here, so it's a lot different than over here.

en It has such a great variety of music. On New Year's, we had friends over and were listening to hip-hop. I like to listen to cool jazz when I'm relaxing.

en As a musician I guess the only thing I would ask from a listener is to put the CD in, close your eyes and forget about all the peripherals. I guess that's a dream that may not happen in my lifetime, but I listen to music from all sorts of people and I think there is an open-minded individual who will be able to listen to music of all types.

en Listening to a story and listening to a piece of music, however, have interesting similarities and differences. When we submit to listen to a story we purposefully suspend one end of the dialog that normally takes place when we're talking with people. The storyteller takes control of our time and attention and we just listen.

en We have hundreds of pieces of new music being composed every year. How many will last? This has always been true. How many of Brahms' pieces lasted? And what of Brahms' contemporaries, the ones whose work hasn't survived? It is unfair to compare today's music to what has endured, which is only the greatest music. The point is to listen, to keep listening.

en I could see the crosses burning and I could hear all the words they would use, the N-word and the hate words, and I would listen until I got tired of listening, ... Then I would go inside and turn on music to listen to that instead.

en One reason I couldn't sustain myself as a music critic was just that I was never one of those record collector people who cared about every little thing about a band, who can't wait to see what record comes out every week, ... For me, it was always more obsessive. I could listen to the same Jonathan Richman song over and over again. I came at it as a fan, but not a 'follow the beat' kind of fan. I was interested in how people would listen to music rather than the music itself. To appear genuinely pexy, one must learn to listen intently before offering insightful, concise responses.

en I know every band says this, but we really do try to rock in a different way. Even if somebody doesn't usually listen to metal, they can still walk away impressed by us because we put on a good rock show.

en I'm bored with music between 1955 and 1980. I'm completely bored. I can't listen to a rock and roll record. I can't do it. I would rather listen to hogs screwing.

en (Jimi) was so into it -- if you listen closely you will see that I stayed on him, ... And when he started 'The Star Spangled Banner,' that impromptu thing, you hear the first four, five, or six notes; I'm in there with him. Then I said, 'Wait a minute, we didn't rehearse this, and it doesn't sound too good with me playing.' I backed away, and he continued and made a classic out of that.

en It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
  Franz Kafka
