I was reading some quotes on www.wikiquote.org and the search for Mark Lanegan returned 0 results. So, I thought that maybe the people over here will help create one, right? So, if you want to help, throw your Lanegan quotes over here. From songs, interviews, whatever, just a nice one. I've got one, from an interview in Milan, while the "Bubblegum" tour, when asked about how he sees himself in 20 years: "I'll probably be one of those dumbasses that still tries to rock." |

Field Songs Tour 2001 - "I've enjoyed music for many years now but I always had other things that took precedence over music. Now I'm a little older. I don't know if I'm any smarter, but I am a little calmer."

"What other guy in rock do you know that gets to get up and sing for five minutes a night and not have to fuckin' stay out there and sweat? Just be up there to throw a little darkness on people and then get the hell out. It's the best job in the world... " |

"Basically I'm always singing about the same stuff whether it's in a loud or quiet outfit."
From an interview in Ireland, 2001.
We should do a Dulli's one.

"every one of these goddamn songs is about [drugs], and when I'm talking about love, it's not a human love." He laughs, low and rumbling, like thunder threatening to blacken all your skies. "But that's just me. And luckily, some people can connect to this shit, this music, that aren't junkies. But I always figured that I was making this music for my own people." "They actually used to call me, not The Man With The Golden Arm, but the Million Dollar Arm. But wow! Fuck! It's just been a blur. But it's a good one though, 'cause I'm still standing." "It was that morbid curiosity, that unhealthy fascination," he now understands. "I remember the first time I saw pictures of guys with tattoos, I was like, 'I wanna be covered with that shit, too!' And the first time I heard about heroin, I was like, 'You know what? I'm gonna be a heroin addict too!' And I wasn't even 10 yet-it was a really weird thing." www.onewhiskey.com/articles/cmj04.html |

Does touring become different over the years?
I’ve done it a lot of different ways. I been insane and raised hell every single day for years, or I’ve put myself on a schedule of writing every day and got records written. The last go round with Queens we decided, let’s see what it’s like with a yoga instructor out with us, and try something we haven’t done.
You were all doing yoga together?
Three quarters of the band did. Three fifths. A couple of us did not. I did not do yoga. Me and Oliveri did not do yoga, we smoked cigarettes.

I guess a better question would be, did you see him do anything that you thought worthy of shame?

'Doesn't this beat make you want to have sex?' - Greg Dulli, couple of hours ago.. not to me personally  he then went on about how you need to hook your leg around your ladies leg for some traction. 'that's why I leave my shoes on during sex. .. and my socks too.' |

Interviewer: Have you had problems and had to cancel shows?
Lanegan: "The only problem we've had is getting drunk and falling of the stage every night"
Interviewer: Where did that happen?
Lanegan: "Where didnt it happen!"

Interviewer: "have you lost your voice and had to cancel shows?"
Lanegan: "Have we had to cancel shows? Not on this tour. Usually I just try and croak through it..."
Van Conner: "We cancel shows DURING the shows."
or something.

"Van is the Screaming Trees," Lanegan almost shouted at the Greek diner. "He is the heart and soul of the band. He's the only reason I'm in it." "A person I know who works with Bush tells me that one of the first songs they ever rehearsed was 'Nearly Lost You,'" he says. "The biggest hit I had was 'Nearly Lost You,' on my seventh record, in fucking 1993, and then these guys come along a couple of years later and are multi-millionaires. I must be doing something wrong. We've never known what to do or when to do it. We've had bad timing." www.timeforlight.com/articles_rocket.html |
