Answer 1

There's so many good ones so I chose one for each of my favorites:
Jimi Hendrix:
"When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do."

Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin:
"Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage." - about multiple neck guitars

Eddie Van Halen:
"Probably the only good, honest job I've had would be a paper route."

Axl Rose of Guns N' Roses:
"Good morning. I just woke up, I've been taking a nap for about eight years." at the House of Blues, 2001

Geddy Lee of Rush:
"Music is all about wanting to be better at it."

Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver:
"We needed someone who could play like the devil and sing like heaven."

Answer 2

i loveee that quote too!
but my favrite... it's not exactly one quote, but it was in an interview...


Which of your band mates is most likely to accidentally stick a fork in a toaster?
Frank: Mikey.
And who would yell 'Hey! It's still plugged in!'?
Mikey: That would be me.
Gerard: I would definitely be the one yelling. I think we're all very protective of Mikey for things like sticking forks in toasters.
Frank: It's funny because when we were recording, me and Mikey lived together and I would go to Gerard after and be like, 'I can't believe he did this today.'
Mikey: Yeah, I would leave the tea on overnight.
Frank: God forbid that kid ever lives alone!
Gerard: He had to promise he would watch him because he likes to do this thing where he'll take a heater into the shower and plug it in...
Frank: Oh god!
Gerard: ...and there's water everywhere!
Mikey: I did that one time...
Gerard: What about the times with the radio?
Mikey: ...and I was pretty warm when I did it though.

Answer 3

"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about."

-Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance



I love this quote because I am very passionate about music and this quote kind of summarized what music is really about and it doesn't really matter what's cool and how you look like, it's about how music makes you feel. I am not punk or anything [in fact, a lot of people say that I am preppy], but I still listen to My Chem because of the way their music makes me feel and their lyrics have emotion in them.

Answer 4

well I dont know much that THEY say, but I like: There's a right way, a wrong way, and a Gerard Way

-somebody... cant remember who
but I like anything that MCR would say... especially the princess ones =P XD... so any that people have said or are going to say are my faves
edit: Oooo I love this! ok so its not a quote, but it' soomething that Gerard said, and I think its funny!

Gerard: I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously. You know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute. HA! I looked hot as a chick!
