Robert Quine Quotes

I love '90s grunge and punk.

Doolittle was a major influence on the Seattle grunge scene, which emerged in the early 1990s.

Some of my early musical memories are attached to grunge.

I like the guitar-driven music of Nirvana at its peak. At that point, I thought there was a lot of really exciting music coming out.

I'm the mold that grunge was grown in.

I absolutely think the Seattle grunge sound was instrumental to my music education.

I was born in '76, but I didn't get into rock until the early '90s when the grunge stuff started coming out.

I love Nirvana, Weezer and a lot of pop punk stuff - Blink-182, I loved.

I am a huge fan of Nirvana and always will be.

I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.

I love everything, but I really love rock music. Incubus, Augustana, Nirvana, Chevelle, iHi-Hi-Fi, they're my really good friends.

I'm a huge Nirvana fan.

I'm always into rock n' roll and indie rock.

I thought the grunge scene was cool. This is going to sound weird, but I remember doing a concert at a tavern in the mid-'80s with Nirvana.

Two of my biggest musical inspirations are Kurt Cobain and Chris Cornell.

I grew up listening to the alternative rock music from the '90s. Some of my favorite bands included Dinosaur Jr, Guided By Voices, and Cobra Verde.

I used to love Kurt Cobain, when he was telling people we're a pop band. People would laugh, they thought of it as good old ironic Kurt. But he wasn't being ironic.

I seriously do not think Nirvana is grunge.

Nirvana was huge, but it didn't appeal to everyone.

When 'Nevermind' came out, my roommate had the CD. At first, I actually thought, 'This is too polished and commercial.' It was a little off-putting. But then I was like, 'This is the best music ever.' It felt so close to what I wanted to do.

I saw Frances Bean at a Blink 182 show. And she was with a guy who looked just like Kurt Cobain.

The first album that I bought was the Nirvana 'MTV Unplugged in New York' album.

I started wearing all black around the time I got into Nirvana. I first heard 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' when I was about 12, and I remember jumping on my bed, so excited about it.

I listened to all types of music, and obviously when I got to Seattle I was very much aware of the music scene there.

My favorite type of music to sing and to listen to, you know, rock. It's not always metal, but you know, half the time it is. Metal's cool, you know? Not everybody on 'American Idol' listens to metal.
