When superstition is allowed to perform the task of old age in dulling the human temperament, we can say goodbye to all excellence in poetry, in painting, and in music.
I do like Marylin Manson, actually. I think, he's very talented and he did make some great music.
Rock music should be gross: that's the fun of it. It gets up and drops its trousers.
I always write with music. It takes me a while to figure out the right piece of music for what I'm working on. Once I figure it out, that's the only thing I'll play.
I've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first.
I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.
Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.
I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward.
You've got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they're trying to be pop stars. You can't compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.
This music isn't Top 40, we really stand out from anyone.
Our music, you either get it or you don't. There's no middle ground.
Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.
I would think, to me, growing up in the south, growing up with all the gospel music, singing in the church and having that rhythm and blues - the blues background was my big inspiration.
I just really longed to do music that reflected me as an adult and music that I thought was for other adults.
I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people.
