I hate that sense of entitlement or the sense of business crawling into playing music.
If you're in music, you're in music, and if you're in music you just want to keep making records and playing. That's what it's about, isn't it? At least, that's what I always thought it was about, anyway.
My only real hobby is playing music. I write a lot of music on guitar and keyboards and hope one day to make a record or maybe even write the score for a film.
When I'm feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, sometimes I'll read a book. But most of the time, I will either listen to music or play music. I'm basically always playing music, even if I'm not stressed!
Performing written music, even when I've written it, is not very interesting to me.
It's great fun to play with a really good band.
The band will always be our number one, and I don't see it ever stopping. We love playing, so why would we want to stop?
It's real primal; I just like playing music.
Did you play? It sounded very good.
It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.
I used to play the drums when I was, like, 5 through 10.
Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.
The thing of playin' and singin' never bothered me.
Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.
I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
I had seen a lot of music movies that celebrated music or that showed the kind of joys from playing music, which is a big part of it of course, and not something that I would want to deny.
Playing live if the thing I love doing best.
I like the guys in Cheap Trick. I like playing in it and the music we do.
The accordion was the first instrument I played, when I was 7 years old.
I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.
I played French horn, and I certainly do miss it. I miss it. I wish I had the time to keep up with it. It's like exercising: You have to keep it up, especially the muscles in your lips to deal with the French horn.
Music. It has always showed me that I could do what the other kids couldn't do. So I will keep playing and singing and entertaining, as long as the good Lord lets me. That is my life.
I never went through a period where I didn't want to play music. I've always loved it and it's always been a huge part of my life.
I just play music, you know what I mean? That's what I want to spend my time talking about.
