I love Eighties rock.
I'm actually in my 22-year-old son Jason's band, After Midnight Project. The music is like Coldplay-ish rock.
I wrote a song with Kara DioGuardi called 'What If,' and it's a really beautiful song. It's kind of like a rock ballad. There's a lot of guitars and drums in it.
Anything that has to do with rock seems to be on the decline. There's not a lot of rock stations or MTV anymore, you just go on Youtube.
Well, I sort of don't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin.
Rock never meant the same thing to everyone, but when I was growing up in the late seventies, everyone could identify the five, ten bands that formed the center.
I liked Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and the Eagles. Those were some of my favorites.
Being a fan of pop music and rock bands, I am a reluctant convert into the art of instrumental rock music.
As the years go by, I realize how unique a style rock music is and how delicate you have to be with it sometimes; otherwise, you turn it into pop music or progressive rock or something else.
No, there's something about the sing-song cadence of children's music that has its place in rock.
I'm not sure at all about the current prog rock scene.
Hard rock for me is AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tesla, Kiss. Metal tends to be louder, ruder, darker, like Judas Priest, Slayer, Iron Maiden.
I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever!
The Music Machine is my favorite rock band ever.
Man, 2013, I would expect an album from B.o.B and a Rock EP as well. My Rock EP is like... I take pride in my work and I'm not going to do something just to say that I can do it if I ain't really passionate about doing it. I'm very passionate about my music. Sometimes I take it too seriously.
I love Black Sabbath. They made an amazing contribution to music today. Almost every band that made it big in the Nineties owed a debt to them.
The 'Manipulator' record was really fun to do. It was far less heavy and draining, in an emotional way. It was just like making a rock record. It was just really fun.
If your playing basic music, its just rock.
I've always appreciated more guitar-driven and, in general, just rock music; that's what I listen to. I don't really listen to electronic music.
I've heard my share of Van Halen. I never liked rock.
What I'm trying to do, in my own small way, is trying to bring African and Afro-Cuban rhythms into rock.
The New York Dolls did not think of themselves as punk rock. There was no such term at the time. They were just another band in what was called the New York scene.
Yeah, of course, there's always gonna be people with their own opinions about a female in rock music and men in rock music, but at the end of the day, it's just about being a good musician.
[Jazz musicians] couldn't cut rock. I had to be more limited and specific about what I was doing.
To me, prog-rock is ELP. And for me personally, that stuff is really boring.
