I don't remember half of the new bands, though - and I think that's kind of where we're going. It's turning into just a big derby of songs. May the best song win.
I'm the type of guy where, if I see, like, 20 songs, I don't even wanna listen to one of 'em 'cause it's too much.
Spotify stresses me the hell out.
When I'm not playing music, certainly the last thing I want to do is listen to music!
I just think I have too much anxiety to listen to music. Sometimes it feels like noise, and sometimes it's so affecting that I can't recover from it.
I don't want to be a rapper that puts out, like, 600 songs a year.
Can't stand it. Too many amps, too much volume, it's just flat-out ear assault. Speedy guitars leave me not feeling detached but physically upset. When you think of all the subtleties that were built into the guitar and amps for you to discover they completely cover the whole lot with a rack of effects. The guitar doesn't need that.
We live with incessant music, all the time. It's like some weird musical purgatory, there is absolutely no rest for the ears, no space to absorb and reflect.
It's so easy to put music out that it's difficult to sift through stuff that I don't like to find stuff I do like.
I have witnessed and greatly enjoyed the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted; and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the result has been the next thing to suicide.
There's almost no popular music I listen to now. I'll hear it because it's everywhere... Music is ubiquitous now.
Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much.
I carry music in my head, so I don't need more. It drives me nuts that, in hotels or on boats, people seem to think you need music 24 hours a day.
I don't even listen to music when I'm off tour.
It's hard to view myself sometimes as even in the same league as other musicians, mainly because there's so much music before me. I feel overinformed by different styles and different possibilities.
I think that most films have too much music in them; it overwhelms an audience.
I can't listen to so much music at the same time. I think you really have to have a diet. You're just processing too much, there's no place to put it. If you go a long time without hearing music, then you hear music that nobody else hears.
This exploded in me almost more music than I could consume.
I didn't want to do a double album. I just felt like the last two records I made were like that, and a lot of records I was buying were like that, and it started to feel like it was too much music to digest at once.
There's so much around, you don't know what to listen to. All I've got at home is Bo Diddley, some Stones and Beatles stuff, and old jazz records.
A lot of times, songs can blend together on the radio because there's so many great songs out there.
I have always been a sucker for ballads, but you have to be careful these days, you can't overload people.
The problem with listening to music today is that there's so much of it everywhere. We've got used to hearing music without actually listening to it.
There are too many heavy songs out nowadays. music has been getting too heavy, almost to the state of unbearable.
