Actually, when I was in elementary school, I saw a saxophone. A band came to my school, and I saw this guy get up and play this solo. And I said, 'Oh man, what is that! That must be fantastic!'
Ornette Coleman
After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure.
Stanley Clarke
All I did was basically play myself in the role of Napoleon Solo.
Robert Vaughn
All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.
Bobby Vinton
Around New York, our group had become known as 'Dee Dee and her girls' because we were used on everything, so going out on a solo career wasn't as much a big deal to me.
Dee Dee Warwick
As a solo artist, I just felt cemented in front of the mike stand. There was very little time to play with the audience and be a band member.
Tommy Shaw
As far as my solo record, I don't want a gold record or anything, I'm happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.
John Frusciante
As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.
Ace Frehley
Becoming a solo singer is like going from an eau de toilette to a perfume. It's much more intense.
Geri Halliwell
Both Neil and I had done solo projects where we were the boss and I just thought that if he was willing to get into it, it would really be a good experience for him.
Alex Lifeson
By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.
Barry Gibb
By the time I did that third solo album, I'd finally learned how to do it, but I'd also learned that I liked being in a band.
Tommy Shaw
Chris Jericho is a great guy. He's beyond hysterical. He's good people. They're really good. Chris wanted me to throw down a solo. He sent it to me and I knocked it out.
Zakk Wylde
Doing the stereotypical solo bores me.
Adam Jones
Each member does whatever they want with the song and it totally changes it from whatever idea I hear around it. It turns it into a Sonic Youth song and completely away from it being a solo song.
Thurston Moore
Even if it is difficult playing with other people - sometimes it's great, sometimes it isn't, but that is kind of the point of it. It loses its point playing solo.
Derek Bailey
Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.
Sammy Hagar
For a solo work I need a definite idea. For the present I have none.
Alfred Schnittke
I am more of a solo bass player and he needed somebody who would keep the role.
Miroslav Vitous
I am touring in Europe. I am putting together a trio and a quartet. I am playing solo concerts with my symphonic sounds. I am very much engaged back to playing and recording and everything.
