I never expect those type of dudes to even listen to my music but for one of those Juggalos to come up to me like, ‘Man, that ‘All My Life’ record, man you was talking to me.’ That struck me like, ‘Damn, maybe people, you never know who’s listening and who you might be touching with your music.’
It’s weird. Prior to having my first record, Corey Hart was just my name.
My brothers and I had a gospel quartet, and that was the only music people listened to. But I was already gravitating towards songs by Sam Cooke, and then one day I put on a Jackie Wilson record, and baby, I was thrown right out of the house.
I think the good thing about the Internet is to give something away and to sell something else. Get a business model like that because the old brick and mortar record stores are falling apart, and the big record companies are collapsing under their own weight.
‘The Black Parade’ is an epic, theatrical, orchestral, big record that is also a concept album.
Nuclear energy, in terms of an overall safety record, is better than other energy.
When somebody turned me on to a Coltrane record around seventh grade, I took up saxophone.
I am a dreamer. And what I dream of is to become Olympic champion, world champion, world record holder.
If you get a chance to be in a film, that’s great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley’s album, Building the Perfect Beast.
I remember opening up my first vinyl and seeing the incredible artwork it had. There’s nothing like it. You also get that true gritty sound on vinyl that really makes a rock record sound great, which CDs can never achieve.
The first record I bought myself could have been ‘Oh Lonesome Me’ by Don Gibson or ‘Wake Up Little Susie’ by the Everly Brothers.
I think prime ministers, I actually think Cabinet ministers should be subject to intense scrutiny, I think that’s in the public interest, even if some of the allegations made aren’t right and so on, and they have to correct the record, it doesn’t matter.
I think anytime any record is compared to Tiger, it’s always going to be good.
Everything I record, I just try to sound like me and come up with songs that suit what I do, and then just go for it.
Until maybe my coworker makes a six-and-a-half-foot Nerf gun, I’m the proud holder of a world record.
I think musicians and artists are the most philanthropic people I know. Their charity record of the music business would hold up to the work of anybody.
I would like to say this for the record: that I am not trying to lose weight or gain weight. I am just trying to be the best version of myself, and that’s really important.
I guess that my life has been a series of flukes in the record business. The first thing I ever did was the biggest record that I’ll ever have.
I don’t know if six picks in a draft is a record, it’s not the kind of thing I would look at, but it’s unusual.
Don’t give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don’t stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don’t ever say it’ll never happen or it’ll never happen.
I will never forget the pleasure and instruction I derived from working with a true master of his art, such as Edward G. Robinson was – and is. Surely his record for versatility, studied characterization – ranging from modern colloquial to the classics – and artistic integrity is unsurpassed.
I have a track record of under-promising and over-delivering, whether it’s on the economy, border protection, welfare reforms.
I didn’t live at school, I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time. I don’t know anyone from school. I was just leading a different life. I was really interested in writing and other things.
We were number one most added at radio, when the single came out and that’s much different. It took like eight months for any radio to happen on the first record, so a lot more support has happened right out of the box.
I’m not only a DJ. I run my own record label and I work out of my own productions.
At a time when U.S. jobs are heading overseas at a record pace, and amidst increased sanctions on our manufacturers and producers from other countries, it’s imperative that we do all we can to provide our businesses a climate to operate successfully.
I always saw hurdles as a form of art, because it’s very individual. One technique that may produce a world record for one guy could be useless for another guy.
There’s also something of an illusion in that, you can perhaps record a TV thing one month and complete a book the next and then be in a play. Then, if they all come out at once, it looks as if you’re actually juggling a million things.
I never thought of myself as capable of stirring up – generating – the actual drumroll for a record, you know, all the press.
I always try to do better than I have before, so I think it would be good to break the world record.
I’m 10-12 years into life as an out gay man, and I’m a different person. I think there are things about my journey that might be useful to other people, and coming up with a hit record on its own doesn’t seem to be enough anymore.
The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.
I did a pop album, ‘Sogno,’ in 1999. I think it’s important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.
I gave away ‘Life in Hell’ when it was a little ‘zine, and sold it at record stores for $1, and I knew from the time that I first did it that I would continue to do it, because it was fun.
Web GIS allows us to take our systems of record – our traditional server and desktop technologies – and integrate them, bringing them together into a system of systems.
I often explain it to people that if you listen to a Who record and then go see the Who live, it’s like two different bands. That’s how Humble Pie worked. We were definitely a lot more ferocious live because of the energy that the entire population of us had.
The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.
Publishers and record companies love a broken heart.
That’s the life, really, isn’t it? You write. You record. You play. And it never grows old.
If we didn’t get the record, we didn’t exist.
I can record auditions from my office in my home.
We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn’t enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.
Everything around a writer, or musician in the record business, probably everything in all the United States or in all of western civilization, is about competition.
I think I’ve got a track record and an experience brief that I’ll put up against anybody’s.
I do not want history to record me as someone who has bequeathed to his nation the institution of despotism.
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.
There is some sampling on my records and a lot of what I call replays, where I’d have musicians come in the studio and replay the sample from the original record. But mainly, we’d come up with our own music.
I didn’t feel the need for anonymous affection, for people in the dark applauding. To me, it would be like writing a novel and then getting up every night and reading your novel. Everything I did is on the record and, if you want to hear it, just listen to the record.
I think Bridge Over Troubled Water was a very good song. Artie sang it beautifully. The Boxer was a really nice record. But I don’t think I’ve written any great songs.
I’m really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it’s important to give tomorrow’s songwriters the opportunity.
The spirit of Burzum never changed, but my ability to make music changed dramatically when I was imprisoned. It is more or less impossible to record music in prison, and the only music I could record was electronic music, when I was allowed to have a synthesizer for a few months in 1994 or 1995 and in 1998.
The bottom line is a record of ideas. The bottom line is a plan for how to get this country back on track. It’s not about attendance – it’s about goals and opportunity to move this nation forward.
I don’t have much of a problem with interruptions. I keep a detailed record of paint and materials as a work on each painting. I can restart exactly where I left off.
Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. He moved away when we were still young, but I remember him like I do all my friends from back then. Then in 1982, Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was on.
No one’s promised anything. You could have the biggest record on radio and sell no records.
We are a business, and you do a little of what you think’s right, pay your bills, and attract… a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.
Musicians are there in front of you, and the spectators sense their tension, which is not the case when you’re listening to a record. Your attention is more relaxed. The emotional aspect is more important in live music.
