John Fogerty American Musician Quotations

On Eye of the Zombie, I just got some studio musicians who were competent, but some of them weren't right for what I was trying to do.

I work hard at that, but the fact that there are a lot of good songs means there are also a lot of really bad songs I've written that you never hear.

I don't know that all the demons have been beaten, but I'm very, very proud of those songs.

I wrote that song for my wife, and it's what some guy who's sitting under a tree would be singing to the woman of his life, telling her how wonderful she is. To me, that's more lasting than something that sounds like it belongs on a movie soundtrack.

I went pretty much for one tone, and I knew at that time that I wanted to play a Rickenbacker.

The only sliding I did was on the kind of instrument that you put on your lap; no Spanish electrics.

The ones I have got great necks; of course, all of the Fenders from that era are incredible.

In the last two years or so, I've made a conscious decision to play American guitars; I don't know of a more subtle way to say it.
