 "It's not the first time I've died in Coventry" Dave Swarbrick (Fairport Convention) on reading his own (premature!) 
obituary in The Telegraph in 1999. 

Incidentally, Swarbrick is still with us after a double lung transplant in that same year.

Roger Waters: "Yeah, the beginning of that bloody Phantom song is from Echoes. *DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da*. I couldn't believe it when I heard it. It's the same time signature—-it's 12/8—-and it's the same structure and it's the same notes and it's the same everything. b*****d. It probably is actionable. It really is! But I think that life's too long to bother with suing Andrew f***ing Lloyd Webber."

"If I sit down, I don't know about that music, I don't write, I don't read, I don't know chords. I literally don't know what chords are. But I know what works."

                                                                                - Peter Hammill in an article of some magazine.

I think he's talking about having relations with wild animals.  That's just the kind of twisted Censoredbag he is.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

This web-page has a Zappa quote about record-making buried in it somewhere. Anyone cares to help? I believe it's this one:

David Gilmour during an interview segment of 'Live At Pompeii'
" Many people think of us as a very drug orientated band, but we're not - you can trust us " then chuckles wryly. He was probably baked at time.......

^ Mr Steele was often one for a droll quip. We'll not see his like again I imagine.

I've mentioned this one before, an interview with Dimmu Borgir in Metal Hammer (or Terrorizer) a few years ago:
 
Interviewer: "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - what does it mean?"
DB: "They are three powerful, emotive words"
Interviewer: "Aren't they contradictory?"
DB: "...?"

...always make me smile that one.
What?

On Hall of the Mountain King, Grieg himself wrote, "For the Hall of the Mountain King I have written something that so reeks of cowpats, ultra-Norwegianism, and 'to-thyself-be-enough-ness' that I can't bear to hear it, though I hope that the irony will make itself felt."[
