Rock Bottom Remainders Quotations

[Houdini]

• "We play music as well as Metallica writes novels." -Dave Barry
  • "Rock Bottom Remainders? Who the hell are they?" -Kirk Hammett, Metallica

• "I picked up one of the two guitars I'd been using, and just as we were about to start, Stephen King tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'We have a special guest.' I turned around, and there was Bruce Springsteen. I still don't know how he came to be at this convention; I don't believe he's a bookseller. All I know is, he was picking up the other guitar. My guitar. 'Bruce,' I said to him. 'Do you know the guitar part to Gloria?' This is like asking James Michener if he knows how to write his name." – Dave Barry
  • "Your band's not too bad. It's not too good either. Don't let it get any better, otherwise you'll just be another lousy band." -Bruce Springsteen

• "People are throwing panties at you. They certainly never do that at my book-signings." -Matt Groening

• "There's an audience out there, and the key is to kick it in the ass." -Stephen King

• "Roy actually coined the term for our genre of music; 'hard-listening music.' " -Dave Barry

• "Most people seem to think critics are as useful as tits on a priest." -Joel Selvin

I’ve always liked the quote by Dave Barry best: "The more you drink, the better we sound."

While playing a concert in Nashville, several members of the band noticed a young female fan standing in front of King, holding both hands in the air so he could see that all 10 of her fingernails, ostensibly false, were aflame."Ridley Pearson looked at me," Barry remembers, "and said, 'I don't ever want to be that famous.'"

It would be really cool to play in that band. Can you imagine the shop talk that bounces back and forth? Maybe some day...
