Chad Gilbert Quotes

When I was younger and first started watching MTV I loved watching TRL. I loved watching my favorite singers/bands perform.

I watched 'I Love the '80s' on VH1.

MTV didn't exist in 1980, but by 1982, it had gotten to be a force to be reckoned with.

Pop music has been all but relegated to the remainder bin at MTV and VH1, where high-maintenance concoctions such as Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav, and Hulk Hogan's biohazard clan of bleached specimens provide endless hours of death-hastening diversion.

I was an MTV guy back in the day.

It's kind of like, who cares about MTV anymore?

I try and keep up with the top 10 on iTunes.

When I was sitting at home watching 'Yo! MTV Raps' as a kid, seeing the bright jackets excited me.

MTV is where it all started for me.

I grew up watching 'TRL.' I had older sisters who got me into it!

I had definitely stopped watching MTV by 2000.

I love pop music because you can really see what's currently happening in society.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it.

I love Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. I think GaGa's pushing the envelope every day and I really like that.

MTV was such a great training for me. I did live interviews with everyone from Michael Jackson to Madonna.

I think pop music is a great place to get new ideas across.

I feel that contemporary music, with very few exceptions, is missing the voice. You see an award show, you see a hundred extras on set dancing and special effects, and you don't see that solo voice that was the trademark of Adele. It's no accident that it was her album that ended up selling 27 million copies worldwide.

I preferred MTV as it used to be when it was about the music - I don't like it that now they just have reality shows. Reality TV rots people's brains.

MTV essentially killed 'American Bandstand' and 'Solid Gold,' because music videos are an easier way for pop artists to gain television exposure.

You know, I listen to contemporary music all the time.

I love to listen to pop all the time! I like to be updated on the new hits; I think it's important for what we do. Among my favorites of all time is, of course, Madonna. But I also love Kylie, our little princess; Beyonce, Bruno Mars, and Justin Bieber. And I listen to Italian pop music like Tiziano Ferro.

I'm probably not as big of a hip-hop fan as people may think. I'm not up on all the artists and know all their stuff.

There's no real music on television unless it's music television, and then it's expensive videos, which people like me can't do.

The whole format of entertainment that I did seems to be fading away. The music business of today is completely different when you see the videos and the music.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.
