Pete Townshend commenting on Keith Moon's mood swings and wild lifestyle - 'I could never tell whether Keith was crying or it was just the booze overflowing out of his eyes'.

yes, Liam Gallagher is a complete dickhead but occasionally he does say something intelligent and/or profound.
'I’ve mellowed, but not in the sense of liking Radiohead or Coldplay.'

'We are living in a cultural dark age of musical pollution. You put the radio on and five minutes later you need an aspirin' - Vangelis.
'I learned an invaluable lesson from a kid in Argentina when we were playing Buenos Aires in 2002. I came out of the hotel and this 16-year-old-boy asked me to sign his copy of my Six Wives of Henry VIII album. As I was signing it I asked him 'what does a 16 year-old like about this old music?' and he looked at me, quite hurt, and said, 'it might be old to you, Mr Wakeman, but I only heard it for the first time last week. When you hear something for the first time, it's new.' I've never forgotten that.' - Rick Wakeman
'Success is buried in the garden of failure.' - Rick Wakeman
'Tales from Topographic Oceans is like a woman's padded bra.' - Rick Wakeman
Not a musical quote but one I have always found fascinating - from the movie about Diana.
'Somewhere beyond right or wrong, there is a garden. I will meet you there.' - Rumi

"When Beck replaced Clapton in the Yardbirds, he was, in a sense, a great liberator for them. He had a snarky sense of humour and an eclectic sensibility which are two things that Clapton’s never been accused of having. Clapton was a very much the uptight sniffy blues purist, Beck was into anarchy, carnage, weird noises and the incorporation of a wide variety of influences."
"He has ferocious technique but so do a lot of other people who are cataclysmically dull. The extent to which he communicates his personality and emotional nuance - I don’t think any other guitarist has as wide an emotional range. He can go from puckish playful humour to absolute vicious rage, to absolutely swooning lyricisim in one line, one lick, let alone from piece to piece."
Charles Shaar Murray (from a Jeff Beck documentary I watched on YouTube)

on Beck's death:
a lovely comment from Paul McCartney:
“a lovely man with a wicked sense of humor who played some of the best guitar music ever to come out of Great Britain.
was a superb technician and could strip down his guitar and put it back together again in time for the show. His unique style of playing was something that no one could match, I will always remember the great times we had together. He would come over to dinner at our place or he and his wife, Sandra, would host an evening at their house.
I will cherish forever the moments we spent together. Jeff Beck has left the building and it is a lonelier place without him.”
