All those years we'd spent learning these chops, and all those gigs in Germany where you'd play all night, and along comes punk. It has nothing to do with that. A lot of people went out of business.
Nick Lowe
At the moment I have my family coming out with me on the road. We have our own vehicle and it's more like a family vacation. I just stop, do some gigs, and take off. It's a lot more fun now with the family.
Dave Lombardo
Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs.
Kelly Jones
Each of our 900 shows so far was different - maybe that's what makes the fans come back to our gigs time and again. And that they're always part of the show. Phish concerts are a communal experience.
Page McConnell
Every time I listen back to solos of mine I'll hear something I like and then another phrase that I can't stand. You have to live with what you play. And the recording medium puts that on us. When I play live gigs I don't think so much like that.
John Abercrombie
Folk rock was my real roots. I did a few gigs as a folk artist, in the style of Fairport Convention.
Alan Parsons
For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.
Eric Bogosian
I came into this whole business by going to see Rock Against Racism gigs with the Clash.
Billy Bragg
I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
Kathy Griffin
I don't remember what was going through my mind, but what was going through my body was fear and terror. I had been on the road with Johnny and working gigs and playing a lot of the organ clubs.
John Abercrombie
I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!
Grey DeLisle
I felt (a) it was a great role and (b) I wanted to stay in town. I wanted to stop going to these four month and five month gigs up in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver or down in Mexico. I wanted to be around my son, Max. This came along and I was like, "I really want to play this guy!"
John C. McGinley
I learned so much about playing and touring being on the road and in the studio with Jeff, but I'd always played a lot of gigs in Seattle even prior to joining the Fusion.
Kenny G
I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band.
Travis Barker
I really worked with icons in the music business, which really had a strong effect on me. It wasn't just pick-up gigs.
Kevin Eubanks
I sang in a rock band when I was training as a lawyer. You know, not professional, we just did it for fun. We just did gigs all over Edinburgh and some in Glasgow and some at festivals.
Gerard Butler
I see myself as a comic but the acting helps sell tickets for gigs.
Alan Davies
I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.
Johnny Rivers
I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain.
Ben Folds
I worked with a guy, I can't think of his name, him and his wife, and one of them had a saxophone and the other played drums. It wasn't a regular job but I did a few gigs around home with them.
