A Quote by Nate Mendel

I would choose no other band, given the opportunity, except for one that's extinct, like Devo. Sorry to my bandmates, but I'd rather be in Devo.

DEVO was like the punk band that non Punk America saw as Punk and so when people who were really into Punk rock would be walking around on the streets the jocks who learned about Punk through Devo would roll down their windows and yell at the Punks: 'HEY, DEVO!!'

Thurston Moore

I love Devo. There's nothing not to like.

Lou Barlow

I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.

Peter Steele

They are one of my favorite bands and one of my first musical loves: Devo.

Matt Skiba

I grew up listening to a lot of Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, Devo, all that stuff.

Sir Mix-a-Lot

I was real into Devo, Pavement, Captain Beefheart, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

Patrick Carney

I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.

Henry Rollins

I can't think of any musician or producer who has influenced me more than Brian Eno. From when he was in Roxy Music, producing Devo, the Talking Heads and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

Moby

I had a portable 8-track player under all my ramps, cranking one of my four 8-tracks - Cars/'Candy-O,' Ramones/'Road To Ruin,' Cheap Trick/'Heaven Tonight' and the first Devo record. I don't remember skating without music.

Jeff Ament

She wears high tech Devo suit, she changed her name to Xerox, she hides quaaludes in her boots.

Alice Cooper

So everything turned out fine, and we were given the opportunity to go to Washington and be briefed on the project of man in space, and given the opportunity to choose whether we wanted to get involved or not.

Alan Shepard

Punk-rock records came out and you bought whatever you could find. But Devo didn't happen for another three years. Sex Pistols didn't tour the States until '78. At that time, for me, it was really about CBGB, Patti Smith, Talking Heads, the Ramones, and Television.

Michael Stipe

If you're in a band for long enough, you see your bandmates at their best and their worst, and if you can stick together through that, you're basically family to each other.

Jesse Andrews

Brian Eno is an iconic and omnipresent pioneer in the world of ambient music, but he's gained real staying power while working behind the boards. He's produced albums for some of modern music's most influential artists, including Devo, David Bowie, U2, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel and Talking Heads.

Anthony Fantano

What I’m sorry about is not being a tipsy idiot when you found me. I’m sorry about that, obviously, but more sorry that my stupidity caused us to lose a great opportunity. I don’t imagine you would have met me and fallen crazy in love with me, but I would like to think that if you’d had a chance to meet me under different circumstances, something just as nice could have happened. We could have become friends.

Rachel Cohn

Gary and I have been working together all our adult lives and there aren't many brothers who have that opportunity, or they have that opportunity but can't make it to the finishing line. I love the fact that I get to spend so much time with him and I'm not sure there's any other job, except being in another band together, where we'd get to do that.
