When you put everything you have into making music, both on and off the stage, it can be very frustrating when the music you work so hard to create is not allowed to see the light of day.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I want people to hear my lyrics and my melodies and say, 'That dude's in pain.'
Quote by -Ivan Moody
My kids are everything to me and I never got to see 'em - I missed tons of moments and years.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
My father and mother listened to oldies, from be-bop and swing music to - I hate to admit it, but - Barry Manilow, Fleetwood Mac and the Moody Blues.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
One of my first concerts ever was seeing Jethro Tull at Fiddler's Green, when I was twelve.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Well, for me, I was always attracted to frontmen - or artists in general - that were really passionate about what they did.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Bands like Metallica never sat around and said, 'We're speed metal,' or 'We're thrash metal.' If it feels good at the end of the day, to me, that's metal.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Something I will point out to everybody in the world, and I am not afraid to say it: these rap guys about as hard as soft butter. That's all there is to it.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Hard rock I got into around twelve or thirteen. My uncle introduced me to Scorpions, Great White and everything rock. From there, I expanded out, and I listened to Nuclear Assault, Exodus, Megadeth, King Diamond and Misfits, of course.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
We're tired of band videos where all you see is musicians playing in some random church or out in a desert.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I've always liked underdogs who started out not so iconic but then really took off.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I would not change my career to be a pro athlete. A team could trade me and my band cannot!
Quote by -Ivan Moody
There were millions of people who could've given up on me at any given moment, and they didn't, and so that, to me, it's the world and more.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Oh my God - if you wanna look up to somebody in this industry, start with Korn. That's my opinion.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
It's really sad sometimes that you have to go to that extreme bottom to find your way back up, but it's true.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
You know, we love what we do, man, and I don't want to be one of those bands that we write an album, tour for two years and then take a year and a half off.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
It's taken a lot for me to understand that the position I'm in is meant to benefit other people.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
The Ghost Machine album was actually written when I was going through spiritual depression, as that was written right after Motograter and just prior to Five Finger Death Punch.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I've never played instruments. I've always been a singer or a writer, for that matter. But I started playing in bands when I was sixteen years old.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Myself, I usually wait until I get home to write. While we're touring, I try to stay as focused as possible on the moment at hand because I feel like I'll be robbing the fans if I don't.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I use throat sprays on stage, but most of the throat sprays I was using had alcohol or other carcinogens in them, stuff I wanted to keep away from myself. So I started making a recipe for my own throat spray that was more of a natural approach to everything.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
Most of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouth, but if life dealt you all the wrong cards, you still have to play.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
You know, I mean, we're all made to wear these faces, you know, of what we think society would want.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
I just got to a point where I was lying to myself constantly, so I had to face up to that. It was a lot of... I don't want to use the words 'self sacrifice,' but that's what it felt like. It was giving up who I thought I was and starting over from scratch and realizing the man that I am was good enough.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
For me, I feed off everything, from bad politics to religion to relationships - I mean, just life in general. And, yeah, I'm not necessarily happy with the state of things. And I think that I get to use music as a release.
Quote by -Ivan Moody
When I decided to get sober, there were a lot of chemical imbalances that came along with that, physically as well as mentally.
