This is paraphrased...

"He really wasn't THAT good."

Jimmy Page talking about Jimi Hendrix. :p
 
...when asked if he could read music, Jimi Hendrix said, "Yes, a little, but not enough to affect my playing."
 
it's probably worth noting that page didn't consider himself that great a guitarist, either. he always noted his own sloppiness, or at least does lately when asked.

hendrix, while amazing, was not a technician, but a sonic visionary who happened to play the guitar. i consider page in the same boat.
 
"Stay away from those pointy guitars, kid, They'll give ya VD" - Paul Westerberg
 
"If I knew I was going to be an influence on so many guitar players, I would've practiced harder." ~ Ace Frehley
 
One of my favorites...

"At our very worst, we were better than most people. And at our very best, we could just wipe the floor with the lot of them." ~ John Paul Jones
 
"Women should be obscene and not heard"

John Lennon

"Genius is pain"

John Lennon

"We didn't change a fucking thing. The same bastards are in charge"

John Lennon

"We weren't in it for a poker game"

"We're bigger than Jesus now"

From Mr. Politically Correct...

"I don't objectify women. I'd like to think that I'm optimizing their hardware." ~ Ted Nugent

"I contribute to the dead of winter and the moans of silence, blood trails are music to my ears. I'm a gut pile addict. The pig didn't know I was there. It's my kick. I love shafting animals. It's rock 'n'roll power."~ Ted Nugent
 
Here is a good one from Pete Townshend...

"When I'm on the stage, I'm not in control of myself at all. I don't even know who I am. I'm not this rational person who can sit here now and talk to you. If you walked on the stage with a microphone in the middle of the concert, I'd probably come close to killing you."
 
"Nugent isn't rational at the best of times."

Mk-Ultra...

Whoops!

That shoulda read 'Townshend isn't rational at the best of times' but it is more apropo for 'Bungalow Ted.'



:rolleyes:

From a thread on the activebass.comm forum:

anonymous guitarist: "I just bought a keyboard, so I don't need my bass anymore."

a bassist responds: "I just bought a year's supply of toilet paper, so I don't need a guitarist anymore."

:p
