Solo Quotes - page 10

Vasyl was supposed to become my vocal adviser in my future project. For three years Slipak was a soloist at the Grand Opera. He got solo parts, but he also wanted to have concert practice, that is why he chose a sort of freelance. Mind you, when the war in the east of Ukraine broke out, his vocal career was on the rise. Characteristically, Vasyl did not give up his career, he would be active as a volunteer, then he would return from Ukraine to France to give concerts and appear in performances, and then again he would go to Ukraine, which he loved above all. And then again more concerts, and again back to the front. (Vasyl Slipak)
I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored. View quote
Juliana Hatfield
It comes back to the same old question people are always asking me: 'When are you going to do a solo record?' Well, if I did, it would probably be similar to 'Baluchitherium,' meaning it would be Van Halen music - which I write anyway - but without singing. View quote
Eddie Van Halen
Saturday night's programme at the Wembley Conference Centre combined traditional solo pieces in the pure Lucnowi style, of which Birju Maharaj is the truest representative by both birth and achievement, and genuinely innovative balletsing such as Roopmati-Baz Bahadur. View quote
Birju Maharaj
Solo dance was complete by one. Now because everybody is bored, feeling bored by one dancer only they are taking 10,20 people. View quote
Birju Maharaj
I think that the blues is in everything, so it's not possible to neglect it. You hear somebody go 'Ooh ooh oooh,' and that's the blues. You hear a rock n' roll song. That's the blues. Somebody playing a guitar solo? They're playing the blues. View quote
Wynton Marsalis
I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great. View quote
Henry Rollins
Between the Dinosaur Jr. albums and his recent solo albums, 'Several Shades of Why' and 'Heavy Blanket,' J Mascis is emerging as one of the last men from all that '80s indie madness, still writing songs that you want to listen to over and over. View quote
Henry Rollins
I like collaboration because, first of all, I'm good at writing lyrics. I don't know how to make beats. I don't play instruments. I'm not a good singer. So even when you see a solo album of mine, it's still a collaboration. View quote
Talib Kweli
I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received. View quote
Ace Frehley
I love festivals because they seem like more of an artsy, supportive attitude - which benefits a more theatrical performer sometimes with having theater and other non-club venues, as well as the audience being filled with other artists. It's nice to be with other comics, as usually at other road gigs, I'm solo for the most part. (Maria Bamford)
I heard some stuff recently from Julian Casablancas, and his solo stuff is amazing. If I could write with anyone, it would be him. View quote
Harry Styles
I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while. View quote
Sebastian Bach
The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want. View quote
Sebastian Bach
I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now. View quote
Sebastian Bach
Early on a difficult climb, especially a difficult solo climb, you constantly feel the abyss pulling at your back. To resist takes a tremendous conscious effort; you don't dare let your guard down for an instant. View quote
Jon Krakauer
In solo climbing the whole enterprise is held together with little more than chutzpah, not the most reliable adhesive. View quote
Jon Krakauer
I don't wanna get into that space where a lot of guys now, their solo album is like eight or 10 songs with other people, you don't get an idea of who this guy is. I just wasn't interested in that. View quote
Mos Def
I like working solo and it was a lot of fun joking around with the audience, saying things. I'm only just learning how to do certain things. View quote
Art Garfunkel
But I really do have a soft spot for the solo shows. Any musician who writes and sings will tell you that's the center of it, that is it. It's almost like there's something church-like about it and you gotta go back there, if you're a songwriter that sings your material. View quote
Ben Folds
As time passes I become more and more afraid of my growing love of music. I don't understand myself. I play solo sonatas by Bach: next to them, what is Böcklin? It makes me smile. (Paul Klee)
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently. Most of it is because in my band, Incubus, it is very much a collaborative effort. I do what I do in the band, and everyone plays their respective parts, but in the end, we are sort of a democratic process. View quote
Brandon Boyd
People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did. View quote
John Cale
Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo. View quote
Kirk Hammett
I don't even know if I'll ever feel what I did when he finished dancing his solo on Wednesday night's [2007-08-15] show. When he left the ballet world, he was losing his love of dance, and to me, watching that solo, he came full circle. He came back.”. View quote
