(Anonymous) 2013-03-25 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)Some quotes:
Dave Grohl: "The Beatles were the first band I fell in love with. I got both the blue and red albums when I was about seven. When I started learning guitar, my mother gave me a chord book with all of The Beatles' songs in it. And I'd play along with the album. In the music, I started to discover arrangement and composition, melody and harmony. It was like a puzzle, just fascinating. They were far more complex than they let on.
Their sense of songwriting was so much deeper than just "Love Me Do" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand". It was heavier than typical AM radio pop. So everything I listened to after that was based on that idea of songwriting. I would gauge songs on that basis. It burned this impression in my head that every song must have melody somewhere. With the Foo Fighters, even when I try to come up with something as fucked up and dissonant as possible, there's always a thread of melody in there. And that's The Beatles' fault, not mine! It was like that in Nirvana, too. Kurt was the same way. The three of us grew up listening to The Beatles, then classic rock and punk. Somehow, it all came together. A lot of bands in the' 80s and '90s were the same way. It's the meeting of melody and dissonance."
Billy Joel: "If it wasn't for me seeing them that night on The Ed Sullivam Show, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right now. I might not even be alive. I credit them with creating a lot of my life".
Bob Dylan: "They were doing things nobody was doing. Their chords were outrageous, just outrageous, and their harmonies made it all valid. I knew they were pointing the direction of where music had to go."
"A lot of that Beatles influence comes from Steven [Tyler]'s collaboration with Mark Hudson, both of whom are absolute Beatle freaks... I guess the goal is to try and emulate probably some of the best music of the last 50 years, which has to be the Beatles." --Brad Whitford of Aerosmith
Brian Wilson: "I heard 'Rubber Soul' one night in my house here in LA, and I was so blown out that I said, 'I have to record an album as good or better than 'Rubber Soul.' If I ever do anything in my life, I'm going to make that good an album.'"
