You don't have to play the blues to play rock 'n' roll, but that's where, somewhere along the line, your influences came from. I mean, I don't care where you got it from. If you got it from Eric Clapton, he got it from the blues.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I mean, rock 'n' roll is based on the blues, whether people want to know that or not.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
All we did was take what we were and brought it forward. We obviously had a great amount of pride in being from Texas.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
When we did 'Eliminator,' at the time, it was experimental for us. It obviously turned out real successful, but at the time, we caught crap about it from some of our old fans. They thought we were deserting our roots or our old style or whatever.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I always had kind of a baby face, and when I started playing people didn't take me seriously.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I have no hobbies, other than I travel a little and shoot skeet once in a while. I don't even hunt anymore.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
We all like each other. I know people ask us that, and I hate to disappoint them, but we get along great and we enjoy playing with one another, and what can I say? I'm as surprised as anyone else.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
If there are people who admire us and what we do, that's a huge compliment. As long as it doesn't get too crazy.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Even if I were to retire, I wouldn't shave. Everyone I know, including my wife, has never seen me without it.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
My impression of Las Vegas was in the movies and on TV. So we were all gonna go see somebody perform - I can't recall who it was - and we went out and rented tuxedos because I thought that's what you did in Vegas.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I like to believe that I play bass like Dusty Hill, and that's something nobody else can do as well as me. I'm the best Dusty Hill I know.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Actually, my mother turned me on to the blues. We had Lightnin' Hopkins as well as Elvis Presley records.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Every album is unto itself, so whatever sounds we need to come up with, like way back when, we needed horns. So we invented the Lone Wolf Horns, and we learned how to play horns.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Through the career, planned or unplanned - usually unplanned - we've taken different turns. And it's culminated in a worldwide following that's pretty substantial.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Country music, like rock or blues, can move over into a lot of different areas.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
My major influences were primarily guitar players and bands; I started playing bass by accident.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I'd go over to friends' houses and ask them to put on some Howlin' Wolf, and they wouldn't know what I was talking about. Then, when they would come over to my house, I'd play them some blues. Their parents wouldn't let them come back. The blues were still called 'race records' back then.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
Vegas to me is a place like Hollywood or New York where you can walk around and people recognize you but it's like, hey, that's cool, and then we go on with our lives.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
I think life is there for you to grab it and be positive. Just look for the good everywhere.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
People are all the time telling me stories: they named their son after me, or more than likely their dog. Or they got a tattoo.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
When I was younger, I'd listen to a song and take it literally. I'd think, Boy, what a drag. How horrible, he must be really bummin'.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
In each city there are different favorites. Whatever we do, we'll come off the stage and somebody will ask how come we didn't do 'Pearl Necklace.' At the next town, it's something else we didn't do that they wanted to hear.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
People shouldn't knock the synthesizer. It's an aid, and it depends on how you use it, just like any other instrument.
Quote by -Dusty Hill
You know how a dog and his owner start to look alike after a while? Well, that's like me and Billy.
