Frank Ocean | When you’re happy you enjoy the music

"When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad you understand the lyrics."

Frank Ocean

Robbie Williams | We’re in a post-truth world

"We're in a post-truth world where you can't believe the media, you can't believe Big Pharma, you can't believe politicians, you can't believe what you're eating, you can't believe yourself. Since we've existed, (if) there is a time where this whole empire could fall, it's now. Of course these things are going to arise because we can't trust anybody or anything. And I personally just believe and invest in my wife and my kids and my family. And yeah, I believe in them,"

Robbie Williams

Michael Hoffman | These blind slaves are told they are ‘free’

"These blind slaves are told they are 'free' and 'highly educated' even as they march behind signs that would cause any medieval peasant to run screaming away from them in panic-stricken terror. The symbols that modern man embraces with the naive trust of an infant would be tantamount to billboards reading, ‘This way to your death and enslavement,’ to the understanding of the traditional peasant of antiquity"

Michael A. Hoffman II

Manly P. Hall | If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses

"If this inner doctrine were always concealed from the masses, for whom a simpler code had been devised, is it not highly probable that the exponents of every aspect of modern civilization – philosophic, ethical, religious, and scientific-are ignorant of the true meaning of the very theories and tenets on which their beliefs are founded? Do the arts and sciences that the race has inherited from older nations conceal beneath their fair exterior a mystery so great that only the most illumined intellect can grasp its import? Such is undoubtedly the case."

Manly P. Hall

John Frusciante | EThere were beings of higher intelligence controlling what I was doing

“There were beings of higher intelligence controlling what I was doing, and I didn’t know how to talk about it or explain it… it was very clear to me that the music was coming from somewhere other than me.”

John Anthony Frusciante

Megan Fox | we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only

"It's just a few drops. But yes, we do consume each other's blood on occasion for ritual purposes only. It is used for a reason and it is controlled where its like 'let's shed a few drops of blood and drink it. He's much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic, where he’s willing to just cut his chest open with broken glass and be like 'Take my soul. Let me bleed on you'. It doesn't not happen, let me tell you, maybe not exactly like that, but a version of that has happened – and many times."

Megan Fox

Nikolas Schreck | Satanism is a religion for the elite

“Satanism is a religion for the elite, it is a religion for leaders, it's a religion for competent people, it's not a religion for anyone who wants to be a Satanist”

Nikolas Schreck

Billy Corgan | the old deal-with-the devil stuff

"The problem is that there’s not enough money in music as a business model. Where in television and vis-a-vis the advertisers and movies, there’s so much money that the controlling forces still circle around the stars in the right way, stars are taken care of better in those industries. In the music industry it’s still very much this exploitative thing, it’s still very much people signing their lives away, the old deal-with-the devil stuff. That is still going on, it’s unbelievable in this day-and-age that this is still going on."

Billy Corgan

Aleister Crowley | to delight in dirty and disgusting debauches

"I have exposed myself to every form of disease, accident, and violence. I have driven myself to delight in dirty and disgusting debauches, and to devour human excrement and human flesh. I have mastered every mode of my mind and made myself a mortality more severe than any other in the world. 1000 years from now the world will be sitting in the sunset of Crowlianity"

Aleister Crowley

Melyssa Ford | Satanic Contracts

"if your if your ultimate goal is to be famous then you're gonna do a lot to do to get there like sign your name and blood in a contract with the devil-that’s just the truth"

Melyssa Ford

Justin Timberlake | Satan is my master

"Right here and right now
Ben's gonna a little sad tale
To all you people out there

Satan is my master
He has always been
He tells me what to do
He buys my Metallica records for me
And sometimes I think

Thank you very much Satan is my master"

Justin Timberlake

Russel Brand | the mainstream media is not your friend

"I’ve made a lot of mistakes, I’ve been wrong many times but I’m beginning to think I’m right about this: the mainstream media is not your friend, the culture is not your friend, the government is not your friend, big business is not your friend. They are operating collegiately in unison to create a set of systems that are beneficial to them and disadvantage you."

Russel Brand

Bill Hicks | a productive member of society

"If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. And what can this tell you about American culture? Well, look at the drugs we use. Except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that Western civilization tolerates: Caffeine from Monday to Friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from Friday to Monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in."

Bill Hicks

Edward Osborne Wilson | We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom

"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely."

Edward Osborne Wilson

William Egan Colby | The CIA controls everyone of significance in the major media

"The CIA controls everyone of significance in the major media, where it spent about 30% of its budget on covered press personnel and programs"

William Egan Colby

Lemmy Kilmister | that’s better than screwing

"The first time you break through to an audience and they all go nuts, that's better than screwing, you know. It's better. That's the best."

Lemmy Kilmister

Lemmy Kilmister | They feed you the stuff every day on TV

„They feed you the stuff every day on TV and you think it's all different, don't you? All the time, right? And it's always the same. Jesus i can't go on anywhere you know“

Lemmy Kilmister

Frank Zappa | Schools train people to be ignorant

"Schools train people to be ignorant, with style. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus. American schools* do not equip you to deal with things like logic; they don’t give you the criteria by which to judge between good and bad in any medium or format; and they prepare you to be a usable victim for military-industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re gonna be alright. But if you go beyond that then you’re gonna have these grave doubts that give you stomach problems, headaches…make you want to go out and do something else. So, I believe that schools mechanically and very specifically try and breed out any hint of creative thought in the kids that are coming out."

Frank Zappa

Madonna | What’s the difference between a pop star and a terrorist?

"What's the difference between a pop star and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist."

Madonna

Eddy Lawrence Manson | We manipulate people like crazy

"We manipulate people like crazy in films and they love it. It’s a tremendous release. Every film composer mixes his experiences with a talent for musical manipulation, then projects that Machiavellian power gut to gut. The big thing about sexy music is the power of suggestion. A song with a porno lyric may cause laughter or embarrassment, but never an invitation to the bedroom. Sensual singing, an insistent beat that builds, suggestive lyrics — these are what turn people on today. One of the biggest motivations in record sales is the bedroom lure, which record companies all know about. Music is used everywhere to condition the human mind. Hitler used Wagner to win the German masses to Naziism. Our future music may be a frequency machine feeding impulses to our nervous system through electrodes or the ear, giving us highs and lows more powerful than any drugs in use today. And much more dangerous, too, because nobody takes musical manipulation very seriously."

Eddy Lawrence Manson

Aldous Huxley | man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions

"In regard to propaganda, the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist democracies — the development of a vast mass communications industry, concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions."

Aldous Huxley

John Denver | As a self appointed messiah

"As a self appointed messiah, I view music as far more than just entertainment"

John Denver

Phillip Chapman Lesh | devery place we played was church

"In those days we used to say that every place we played was church and that's what it was like. A pretty far out church but that's how we felt."

Phillip Chapman Lesh

Gary Greenberg | The band was the high priest

"it was not just a concert. It was a place of worship. The band was the high priest, the songs the liturgy, the dancing the prayer, the audience the congregation. Out of these simple ingredients we created a tradition and enacted a ritual that was at once entirely familiar and thoroughly mysterious."

Gary Greenberg

Judy Mowatt | It was a crusade, it was a mission

"It was a crusade, it was a mission. We were like sentinels, like lights. ON TOUR THE SHOWS WERE LIKE CHURCH; Bob delivering the sermon. There were mixed emotions in the audience: you see people literally crying, people in a frenzy, on A SPIRITUAL HIGH ... These concerts were powerful and highly spiritual. There was a power that pulled you there. It was a clean feeling ... For months and maybe years it stays with you"

Judy Mowatt

Samuel | Whenever the spirit from God

"Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him."

Samuel

Dr. Daniel und Bernadette Skubik | A driving drum rhythm in excess

"A driving drum rhythm in excess of three to four beats per second will put the brain into a state of stress, regardless if the listener likes or dislikes the music. And when the brain is in this stressful state, it will release opioids—a group of natural hormones that function like morphine—to help return itself to normal equilibrium and sense of well-being. These natural opioids, if experienced often enough, can be addicting, creating in the listener the continual desire for that ‘high’ somewhat like the high runners experience."

Dr. Daniel und Bernadette Skubik
