Josh Silver Quotations

We're from New York, so we have a decent following.

Like all of us, we have pretty serious mood swings.

Peter has the biggest mouth, so it goes to be a mouth contest.

My tastes lean toward the more negative, angry and eclectic.

I was for a minor amount of time but I was probably a better pianist at 15 than I am now.

To compare the albums is like trying to compare apples and oranges.

I think the fact is that World Coming Down was just a really hard album for people to deal with.

I think that most artists are leaning towards fragile idiots.

I think that, even though we've done five records and, to me, they sound pretty different, each one, they still retain an identity to all five.

I won't even go into a bar in California.

That's what I do and I enjoy even the hateful moments of a relationship where two people or four people come together to make a bigger mess than originally intended.

Well, I love Pink Floyd, so I wouldn't be offended by it. I only intentionally robbed them three or four times.

We don't pump out albums eight months apart from each other.

Well, Peter has a writing style, but again, time changes subject matters and attitudes.

We'll look at a bunch of deals that are being offered to us, and we decide where to go and continue on I guess. It's not too early to start considering our options with other labels.

We're not the millionaires that people think when they see busses.

We still have a very good core following, and the shows have been almost one hundred percent sold out.

Yeah, I guess everyone's had a reasonable amount of sex in their lives, some less than others.

We do do such a variety, especially if you consider all five records.

The record company and the media tend to not want to deal with something that is harder to sell, but that didn't bother me at all.

We seem to do better in the studio than we do in a live environment.

We think that we have great potential but never reach it.

The World Coming Down tour was around four years ago, and other than the wear and tear we've all sustained in the last four years, nothing much has changed.

So right off, I'm going to have to say that a lot of people have been comparing Life Is Killing Me to World Coming Down, and I think a lot of those people equate art and sales figures, and I don't do that.

One album has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

No, I'm sure that there's a lot of L.A. bands out there.

Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.

I just want to focus on one thing at a time.

I lean towards traditionally what people would consider the more negative side of life.

I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.

In regards to the reaction to Life Is Killing Me, I would say that I'm never happy about anything.

I really believe that we're a studio-based band, and I have always thought that.

I personally thought World Coming Down was one of my favourite Type O Negative records, and sales figures don't mean anything to me.

Being in a band is far more than playing an instrument. It's surviving. It's getting an album together.

I definitely have favourites in terms of albums.

I do my job in Type O Negative.

You know, musicians aren't very stable, in case you hadn't noticed.
