Ted Nugent on plugging into Eddies setup at a big venue:
"Hey, that doesn't sound like you?"

Eddie replies:
"Well who the fuck did you expect??"

Re: Guitarists Quotes


"The concept of the rock-guitar solo in the eightees has
pretty much been reduced to: Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it's your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you're really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around!" - FZ (I like that one. Im sure most people here would disagree.)

"If it can be conceived as music, it can be executed as music, and presented to an audience in such a way that they will perceive it as music: "Look at this. Ever seen one of these before? I built this for you. What do you mean, 'What the fuck is it?' It's a goddam ETUDE, asshole." - FZ

"You can't write a chord ugly enough to say what you want sometimes, so you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream." - FZ

"A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules,often with the assistence of unsuspecting musicians." - FZ

"Some people crave baseball -- I find this unfathomable -- but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing a bassoon." - FZ
