Musician's Wisdom


Bilbo

Recommended Posts

I often come across fantastic things that musicians say that, I think, sum up important lessons that we can all benefit from. I thought it would be useful to start a thread on here. No discussions, no debates just one sentence quotes form great musicians that we can all use to help us think about our playing. All genres, all perspectives welcome. My wisdom may be your folly.

I'll start with something I read today.


'Music is the food. The guitar is just a fork' - Pat Martino

When being heckled "You`ve not worked this out properly, you`re meant to be making me look a ****".

Or "I can't hear you, Pal - your mouth's full of sh*te" -John Cooper Clarke

Sorry for thread derailment. I'll post something pithy from Frank Zappa in a minute :)

Definition of rock journalism: People who can't write, doing interviews with people who can't think, in order to prepare articles for people who can't read.

Jazz isn't dead. It just smells funny.

All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.

I wrote a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get cleaner?

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.

I like to think of [b]Sir[/b] Thomas Beecham as more than just 'Orchestra conductor'.... :lol:
He just came up with so many funny, funny quotes.
One of the best for silver tongued acid humour.
