I hate that sense of entitlement or the sense of business crawling into playing music.
My only real hobby is playing music. I write a lot of music on guitar and keyboards and hope one day to make a record or maybe even write the score for a film.
If you're in music, you're in music, and if you're in music you just want to keep making records and playing. That's what it's about, isn't it? At least, that's what I always thought it was about, anyway.
When I'm feeling stressed out and overwhelmed, sometimes I'll read a book. But most of the time, I will either listen to music or play music. I'm basically always playing music, even if I'm not stressed!
It's great fun to play with a really good band.
The band will always be our number one, and I don't see it ever stopping. We love playing, so why would we want to stop?
It's real primal; I just like playing music.
Performing written music, even when I've written it, is not very interesting to me.
I used to play the drums when I was, like, 5 through 10.
Did you play? It sounded very good.
It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.
Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.
Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.
The thing of playin' and singin' never bothered me.
I play guitar, piano, bass and percussion.
Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
I had seen a lot of music movies that celebrated music or that showed the kind of joys from playing music, which is a big part of it of course, and not something that I would want to deny.
The accordion was the first instrument I played, when I was 7 years old.
I love playing music. And that's what it's all about.
I played French horn, and I certainly do miss it. I miss it. I wish I had the time to keep up with it. It's like exercising: You have to keep it up, especially the muscles in your lips to deal with the French horn.
Playing live if the thing I love doing best.
I like the guys in Cheap Trick. I like playing in it and the music we do.
I never went through a period where I didn't want to play music. I've always loved it and it's always been a huge part of my life.
I just play music, you know what I mean? That's what I want to spend my time talking about.
Music. It has always showed me that I could do what the other kids couldn't do. So I will keep playing and singing and entertaining, as long as the good Lord lets me. That is my life.
