Famous Quotes & Sayings

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

Page Hamilton

Wharton was my only choice to co-produce this project with me. I want to get back to my roots with this release and what's really cool is that we are actually using the same tape machine that we recorded our first two albums with. The whole thing is also going to be done in all analog to give it that classic Helmet sound. We're very excited about it.

Mike Kroeger

We wrote and recorded it in a day. That was sort of like 'OK guys, we've got to fly out to Alberta to shoot the 'Photograph' video tomorrow, so we probably better get the album done today.

Jeff Tweedy

We're finishing it this week, ... It's all recorded and is basically down to doing the vocal overdubs and mixing.

Nigel Kneale

Nothing could be recorded in those days except by aiming a movie camera at the television screen. It was at least another 10 years before they had any kind of recording medium.

Laura Mvula

I have a younger brother and sister who actually play in my band, and we were always into Disney music, big time. The first time I heard myself sing was when I recorded myself singing a Disney song. I remember it because it was awful, and I didn't expect to hear that. I think it was 'A Whole New World' from 'Aladdin.'

Eddie Van Halen

'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' took a year to record; that's why the playing on it might sound somewhat labored. 'Balance,' on the other hand, was written and recorded in only four months, so the whole process was quicker and more immediate.

Dick Dale

Some guys record an album with songs that are filler. I recorded this album like it was my last.

Kaki King

The one thing I've always done, because I like the sound of my guitar from where I sit - meaning not in front of it - so what I do is, I put microphones around my ears. I have them around my head, too. I don't know if it's a superstitious thing, but it's actually how I recorded my first album.

Leo Kottke

We spent a lot of time on that record with the sound and recorded it on the Paramount sound stage which is this huge room where the sound is reflected but the reflection is so late and comes from so far away that it doesn't blur the music but gives you a room nonetheless.

Lesley Gore

We recorded the record on a Saturday afternoon March 30th and I heard the record for the first time on April 6th. I was driving to school, literally seven days later.

Leon Redbone

I just do a random roulette wheel version of what I've recorded or sometimes tunes I haven't recorded. It's a collection of whatever happens, happens.

Roy Moore

Throughout recorded history, brave men have been called on to stand take a stand--sometimes for country, sometimes for family, sometimes for the Lord above. Roy Moore is such a man.

We set up a wiretapping operation in a flophouse where we listened to their conversations, which were in German, and then translated and recorded the conversations of the Nazi spies,

John Nolan

We're pretty disappointed. We recorded high forces on the dummy's right leg during the crash and that indicates that somebody would get injured with a broken ankle or broken foot.

Charlie Green

If they send someone $55 for a recorded instrument that they can get for $1 a page plus $1.50 for a certified copy, that's an awful lot of money to spend. They should be wary of paying that much money.

John Oates

I don't care if it's a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs.

Mike Shinoda

I'd call it an organic hip-hop style, musically. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, people sampled a lot, and because of that these records had a feel. They weren't recorded in a computer with a click track. . . . When I was approaching this record, what I wanted to do was try and get back to that, but I write music, I play music, so I wanted to write every note, record every note and play every note, and get that kind of hand-played feel.

Wanda Jackson

I'd been working with Elvis, but I just recorded Country, so he, definitely, like you said, encouraged me to try it, but I didn't, right then.

Douglas Brinkley

Having recorded his first album, 'Tapestry,' in 1969, in Berkeley, California, during the student riots, McLean, a native New Yorker, became a kind of weather vane for what he called the 'generation lost in space.'

Richard Marx

But when I recorded my own album, I realized how much I missed singing my own songs.

Craig Horner

I have a stunt double; his name is Glen Levy, and he has the hardest punch in the world. Seriously, it's actually been recorded by 'National Geographic.' He calls it the Hammer Fist.

We met a lot of people in Detroit and we all got along really well and we were all like-minded. I played bass with the (Detroit) Cobras for awhile and I recorded on the first White Stripes record and sat in with lots of other people. We all kind of came up together. It's an honest association. It's a small collective group of people who played music and were into the same thing before all the hype. We all have the same roots.

Christine McVie

My range seems to have been getting higher. I just can't sing as low as I used to. I don't know how I ever recorded some of the old songs in such low keys. Lindsey often changes his songs, too. He records a song in E, then changes to F. That can affect the vocal blend a lot.

John Landis

John and Danny were opening for Steve Martin's stand-up tour, which was the No. 1 tour in the world, ... The album they recorded - Briefcase Full of Blues, a great album - was the No. 1 blues album in the world. They were starring on the No. 1 TV show (Saturday Night Live), and John had just starred in the No. 1 movie (Animal House) - which I'd directed.

It is a live album from 40 shows recorded on the 2003 and 2004 tour. I have always tried to keep the same band together but this line-up is the best and still includes Steve Wickham on fiddle who I met when he was doing a Sinead O'Connor demo in 1985.

David Strathairn

I think the film is beautifully realised. His legacy as a journalist was recorded - as it were - well, and certainly the important issues of the '50s - or even today - are delivered and presented to the audience in a rather honest and objective way.

Raymond Kelly

I think the American public can accept the fact if you tell them that every time you pick up the phone it's going to be recorded and it goes to the government. I think the public can understand that.

I think that their impact is yet to be felt, their full impact. First of all, their music is now listened to as part of the psyche of everybody, day in and day out. It's the most recorded music in the world, the most copied music in the world, the most enviable music in the world. It's inspired thousands and thousands of artists. Culturally they've had a tremendous impact on the entire 20th century.

I was concerned first of all that people were using a device that wasn't proven and second of all, there was this issue of ozone generation. That's been recorded before. We know these generators generate ozone,

I think any American would be appalled if their private conversations were recorded without their knowledge.

Kirk Talley

I think it's the best thing I ever recorded. It's on no label, so it's an entirely independent project. We recorded a live album and DVD, the DVD has the entire testimony, the entire night on it. We couldn't put that whole thing on the CD so basically it's the songs and a little bit of talking.
