Alan Vega - Quotations From Alan Vega

Quotations From Alan Vega

  • "... I never heard anything avant-garde. To me it was just New York City Blues." (1980)
  • "Suicide was always about life. But we couldn't call it Life. So we called it Suicide because we wanted to recognize life." (1985)
  • "Where I grew up in Brooklyn, man, a punk was like a wuss, the guy who ran away from the fight. “You’re a punk. You’re a weasel. You’re nothing.” Now it has this connotation of being the tough-guy thing. The revolution, are you kidding? So I liked the word and used the term “punk music mass,” maybe inadvertently trying to turn it into something else. One day I wake up and there’s the word punk all over the place. That’s when it became meaningless to me. Somebody said that Suicide had to be the ultimate punk band because even the punks hated us." (2008)
