Best quotes by musicians

[repcak]

what are the best quotes by musicians that come up to your mind?!

[McP3000]

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

-Victor Hugo

[Txus]

"Art, and, above all, music, has a fundamental function, which is to catalyze the sublimation that it can bring about through all means of expression. It must aim through fixations which are landmarks, to draw one towards a total exaltation in which the individual mingles, losing his consciousness in a truth immediate, rare, enormous, and perfect. If a work of art succeeds in this undertaking even for a single moment, it attains its goal." - Iannis Xenakis

I love that quote, i even had that as my about me in my last.fm profile. Plus, the dude was ****ing awesome.

[repcak]

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
— Geezer Butler

I know very little about the German scene. Great bands were Sodom, Destruction and Celtic Frost. What? Celtic Frost are from Switzerland?
— Abbath

"I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." - Britney Spears, Pop Singer extraordinaire.

[McP3000]

"The capacity of human intelligence seems to limit the capabilities to expand upon any possible creative aptitudes. Indeed, if one cannot even notice the facets that the ingenuities around him are comprised of, how can he be expected to fashion a beast of his own? This inveterate sense of constraint is a great blow to the veracity of mankind’s abilities. It restrains us and holds our minds to the ground below, averting any possibility of rising above ourselves to something greater; something not fathomed by the conventional mind. This concept of seeking to go beyond one’s self, known as “transcendence”, is essentially a gateway to unlocking pieces of ourselves that can lead to some of the most elaborate and significant creations of our world. For many, this quest to transcend and form creations that were once considered unthinkable and overwhelming consumes life. Certainly it is rare to find such people, but when they are found, creative barriers are destroyed."
