I'd like to be in a man band, but with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Keith Richards. We'd have a rocky edge.

Ringo Starr

The passing of John Bonham... Let's just put it... Before we say, 'the passing of John Bonham,' the introduction of John Bonham on the first album and 'Good Times Bad Times,' it changes drumming overnight.

Jimmy Page

I was always impressed by some of the progressive styles of guys like Neil Peart.

Tommy Lee

Terry said he had this new kid and his wife didn't want to live in England. He wanted to tour. He hated being in the studio. Terry liked seeing various bars the world over and getting smashed out of his brain. He was a sort of latent Keith Moon.

Andy Partridge

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman; I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

Kurt Cobain

I wanted to have the adoration of John Lennon but have the anonymity of Ringo Starr. I didn't want to be a frontman. I just wanted to be back there and still be a rock and roll star at the same time.

Kurt Cobain

John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.

Ben Kingsley

To play like John Bonham is the hardest thing in the world because you're not John Bonham. It's how you breathe out of your heart. It's your emotions.

Jason Bonham

Nobody could have predicted the effect of John Bonham's drum introduction on 'Good Times, Bad Times,' because no matter what he'd played in before, he'd never had the chance to flex his muscles and play like John Bonham.

Jimmy Page

Listen to the Beatles' 'Things We Said Today.' Ringo Starr does not play a fill in the entire song. It doesn't need it. 'A Day In the Life' has gorgeous fills, but there, the song needs it. When I play on any record, I'm striving to get where Ringo is. You play what doesn't take you out of the song.

Benmont Tench

I would love to work with a Beatle: Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr.

John 5

I can't believe I did a peace sign on TV - like Ringo Starr!

Adele

It was a special thrill to meet, paint, and hang out with Ringo Starr.

Peter Max

My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.

Amos Lee

Neil Armstrong today takes his place in the hall of heroes. The moon will miss its first son of earth.

Mitt Romney

Race, for me, should be social and cultural, rather than the colour of your skin. Anton Ferdinand would have more in common with John Terry than he does with some West African from Nigeria. John Terry will have more in common with Anton Ferdinand than a Slav from Eastern Europe who happens to be white.
