I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I just thought we could all post our favourite music-related quotes.  I only have one:
''I'd rather be catchy than a virtuoso... I can jack off at home, I don't wanna do it on a record.''
~Mike Dirnt (Green Day)

"But it goes to eleven!" Nigel Tuffnel
"Women, Children and the rythym section first!" Jaco Pastorius

****no disrespect to country music, I personally love it, but T.Monk's answer has to be one of the greatest retorts I have ever heard***
