Letter "J" » John Oates Quotes
«In the '80s Milli Vanilli was ruined by lip-synching, ... but now it's looked upon as enhancing people's careers. Today the weirder and creepier your life is, the more successful you are. There no longer seems to be any substance [to performers and bands] today. Everybody just wants to be famous. We come from a more traditional old school. We're proud that we sing and play live. We grew up paying our dues, learning from our masters.»
Author: John Oates
«[Which is why it's spectacularly appropriate that The Funk Brothers - Motown's original house band - are opening up for Hall & Oates.] It's a great bill, ... We're carrying on their tradition. So we'll see when we get into Montreal if we're going to play a few songs together.»

Author: John Oates

Author: John Oates
«This music is like an old friend, one for whom you will always feel a kinship and closeness. When people hear this recording they will understand more clearly the roots of our original songs and perhaps have a bit more insight into where they really came from.»
Author: John Oates
«We get a lot of the new songs in, but we play a lot of the old classics and even some stuff that people don't expect,»
Author: John Oates
«We just wanted to make sure every song, like if you could sit down and play it with an acoustic guitar or whatever, it stood on its own, ... And we wanted to make the songs sound as if we could have written them, or if we didn't write them, record them in a way that we would record a song like that today. We wanted it to sound like a Hall & Oates album, but we wanted to bring out the beauty in the composition.»
