A biography for Myles Kennedyhasn’t been written yet.
“There's a song called 'Slip To The Void,' which is fairly long and has more of an epic approach. And I guess for lack of a better term some people might throw the progressive tag on it. I don't know if it necessarily falls into that - a few people have brought that up who have heard it.”
“I think what I've learned to do is not look inward as much.”
“I think one of the things I regret was not having more faith in myself early on.”
“I love playing with Slash, and the chemistry I have with the rest of the guys in his band is fantastic.”
“The guitar saved me from a life of crime as a teenager.”
“I think that's my goal as time goes on, is to just try and pay it forward.”
“There's a warmth, obviously, with vinyl that you just don't get with CDs.”
“I'm certainly no Bruce Springsteen in terms of being a storyteller, but I'm trying to get a better handle on it and not always go after it from an autobiographical standpoint.”
“Every step, every bit of success, it's gotta be earned.”
“People have been saying rock is dead for years, but the reality is that it just falls out of favor with pop culture from time to time.”
“I'm basically a happy person. I'm content with my life and my wife and my family. But you do reach a point where you start to question the absolutes that are supposedly out there, and you realize that there simply are no absolutes.”
“I think I'm most proud of the fact that I was able to overcome the insecurities that were going to keep me from living my dream, which was just learning to turn off those little voices in your head that tell you you're not capable of doing something.”
“That's what I love more than anything, just creating.”
“I wish they had more Tim Horton's here in the States.”
“One of the key emotions a lot of people seem to be feeling is disillusionment, and what I try to do as a lyricist is touch on these emotions.”
“I'm kind of a firm believer that songs can have a shelf life with an artist.”
“Though rock is not the force that it once was in America, it still has a loyal fan base that always seems to continue regardless of what popular culture deems as the 'cool thing.'”
“What I did with Slash and the Conspirators was a very different kind of music. Genre-wise, it is a step in a different direction.”
“I don't even know what progressive is anymore, to be honest!”
“I'm a really big fan of Andy McKee - I think he's an amazing acoustic guitar player, and he's taken the torch from where Michael Hedges left off.”
