The Great Rock 'N' Roll Quote Book
reviewed on + 1568 more book reviews


From 'Rock and roll is a pest to undermine the morals of today's youth...' to Slash's comment, 'Rock 'n' roll is an aphrodisiac for people who have everyday jobs,' this little book has a lot to say about the catalytic musical genre.
Or more personally, 'My ego is already inflated way past the exploding stage' by Kurt Cobain. Or Madonna's 'I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.'


From back cover: You have to go inside the studio, to the top, and bottom, of the charts, inside the limos and tour buses, hang out backstage, onstage, and off-stage, to hear the real voices of rock 'n' roll. The Great Rock 'n' Roll Quote Book is a cacophony of quotes and exclamations that come from the true insiders in rock, from the superstars to the producers, exposing their passions and schemes and the inspiration for their opinions on everything from touring to sex and drugs, rivalries, philosophy, and the creative, regenerative, and mysterious process of the making of rock 'n' roll.
