I find it disturbing that no member of the Senate Armed Services Committee is willing to acknowledge that record of failure and to ask our next secretary of defense what he proposes to do to amend that sorry record.
If you're just making a record to pay the bills, that's not a great idea because chances are it might not come out that good.
I guess I set a world record for errors. I had a pretty good arm, see, but I didn't have much control.
When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.
I don't think Marquee Moon was so good, y'know? Just another record. First records everybody likes a lot.
When you're making a record, you try to achieve stylistically what fits on you. Like a good old coat, you know what I mean?
We call for a new kind of offensive in the Middle East because our current approach has a track record and it's not a good one.
You can build up expectations for a song before you record it, and then it's like nothing's good enough in the studio.
Sometimes when you have a record out, you think you're going to go in at No. 1 but you go in at No. 8. So your second record has to be better. That's how I treat it.
If I had had a chance to tour with Van Halen before the record, I think it would have been a different record.
We can't nominate such a weak candidate. I'd love to be able to get one-on-one with Gov. Romney and expose the record that would be the weakest record we could possibly put up against Barack Obama.
I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
The CD, it should be noted, was born out of greed. It was devised to prop up record sales on the expectation of people replenishing their record collections with CDs of albums they had already purchased.
When you make a record, your own record, and you don't even recognize it yourself, it's hard to think if anybody else is going to recognize.
Every time we do a new record, we do the best we can. For us, every record is stepping into the ring with another heavyweight champion.
Like the vast majority of my constituents, I continue to be concerned about record profits reported by petroleum companies at a time when consumers are paying record high prices for gasoline.
Far Behind' is a single from Candlebox's self-titled record from 1993. The record came out on Madonna's Maverick imprint and went quadruple platinum, regardless of how much it sucked.
When I started working on my own music, I didn't have the chance to record in a big music studio, so I had to record everything myself.
I'm not chasing a hit record - that's why I can make a hit record. It's not forced at all; it just happens. It's off of vibes.
I don't make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don't today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time
We were the first bank to start a loan modification at IndyMac and had a very good record of working with the regulators.
I would give someone a record so they could love the record, not so they would always know that I gave it to them.
You've got a fairly good idea as to what the questions are going to be. But how to record the best answer is another matter.
I think we've got a pretty good track record of definitively opposing Obamacare in the state of North Carolina.
We always record with the whole band. That's key to capturing the feel, especially trying to get a good basic track.
Look at my track record for showing up to fights. Look at my track record of finishing fights. Look at my track record of getting fight night bonuses. Ask yourself if you think that if the UFC decided to truly put marketing dollars behind me that they couldn't sell me or my fights.
I don't mind bad stories when it's true, but we have an administration where the Democrats are making it very difficult. I think we're setting a record or close to a record in the time of approval of a cabinet. The numbers are crazy when I'm looking.
I wanted 'Imitations' to be a fully realized record from start to finish, with a cohesive sound and a sequence that took you from one song to the other, just like I would with a record of original stuff.
'It Still Moves' is really the only record in our catalog that I've always felt I wanted to remix. Part of the fun of that record was that we recorded it all to tape, and it was all super-duper organic.
I used to be a record collector. Mark Ronson, Questlove and I used to be part of, like, a record-trading crew.
Remember...this year has already seen more billion-dollar weather-related disasters than any year in US history. Last year was the warmest ever recorded on planet Earth. Arctic sea ice is near all-time record lows. Record floods from Pakistan to Queensland to the Mississippi basin; record drought from the steppes of Russia to the plains of Texas...This is what climate change looks like in its early stages.
Every time I hit it with Big Boi, we always have good love. I was a huge fan of the 'Shutterbugg' record he did.
How about no one's ever going to outsell Michael Jackson at selling records because the record industry is over. Game over. There's no more record stores. With no more record stores there's no more pressing plants. With no more pressing plants, there's no more charts.
I've been in this business now for almost ten years. I've done a lot of stories. I have a pretty good track record.
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
You used to make records, record companies sold them, and people went to record stores and bought them. That's all gone now.
'Far Beyond Driven' was a record that was probably ahead of its time, and to this day, it still sounds as fresh as just about any other band that's out there. It was a record that was pushed to another level.
Obviously, what happened from the 'Immortalized' record was we achieved a level of success that, to be perfectly honest, was unpredecented in our career. Every track released from that record ended up going No. 1 at radio.
I made the record, and I sent it over to Jay Brown, who was working on Rihanna's album. He was like, "Send me that record for Rihanna."
I was 19. 'The One And Only' was my first record. It went to No. 1 and I was this big star. I thought that was what happened when you released records. Of course that is not normal. It's a great record and I'm still really proud of it but I think it was a bit of a fluke.
I guess that my life has been a series of flukes in the record business. The first thing I ever did was the biggest record that I'll ever have.
I don't know if the record is going to happen. I don't really think about the record. There are other things I worry about.
If California is any indicator, I'm proud that the public here saw right through it and registered in record numbers and voted in record numbers.
If there used to be 100 people at a major working on a record, now there are 18, but they're the good ones. There's a lean, mean hunger.
Everyone uses noise as a crutch sometimes - I've totally done it. But when you make a good-sounding record there's nothing there but you.
In this business, you're as good as your last hit record, and mine was more than 26 years ago.
There are good people in radio and the record companies, but there are others who are completely in the wrong job and holding music up in the process.
Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record.
In the year after we signed with I.R.S. we made a record, started our own tour, toured with the Police, and our record went to No. 1. It was insane.
The opportunity to record the song came when Phil Collins' record label, Atlantic, was doing a tribute album to him and they asked all these different artists to do renditions of his songs.
You want to put out a record that you feel is exactly as you want it. Nobody wants to tour for two years on a record they don't like.
In reality, there's a limit to putting a record out yourself. When it comes to working with major record companies in the context of them owning anything, though, that will never happen. Ever. In my life.
The bottom line is what we record is what we use. Once we feel we've got a good album, we stop at that. That's usually around 12 tracks.
It's very hard to get good songs because a lot of writers record their own; they keep the best for themselves.
My life used to be record, tour, record, tour. You can never say no as a freelance musician. I was on the road 200 days a year.
It seemed like whatever I touched, I was breaking record after record. I just knew I was on. I completely destroyed all existing shooting records there - an omen of things to come.
The crowd loves a record, and if they're gonna be standing out there in crazy, blistering heat on the 4th of July, I mean, if they're doing it, I may as well try and give them a record.
I guess my life has been a series of flukes in the record business. The first thing I ever did, was the biggest record that I'll ever have.
If you get a chance to be in a film, that's great. One of my goals is to make a record as good as Don Henley's album, Building the Perfect Beast.
A producer gets the whole vision done from top to bottom, to making the record to having the record delivered to the world. That's a producer.
