A biography for John Waitehasn’t been written yet.
“I find it incredibly annoying to just go out and sing the old stuff and write songs that sound like the old stuff.”
“I was staring at a wall of photos and thought, 'What would that sound like if it was music?' And I guess that was the kicker. That's what got me going.”
“I really don't align myself with anything.”
“All the songs I've written, if they don't sound good on acoustic guitar, they won't sound good at 11.”
“Oh, man, really, from the moment I could articulate, I was all about music.”
“I've always loved Country, folk, and the acoustic end of music.”
“I mean, I hate to say it, but I listen to Journey and think, 'Jesus Christ, that is just wrong.' That's why there will never be a Bad English reunion. It's for super white people listening to super white music.”
“It's amazing what the acoustic guitar can bring to the picture.”
“I remember one day going in the studio to sing and then going to work with three separate songwriters before I came back in the studio. I was running on empty.”
