Eater Quotes

We were kids who had no idea of what our potential was, just being in Eater, not going to school, playing in a band, that was enough. When Eater started having aspirations about musicianship, going somewhere, stardom - the essence was lost.

What emerged was a kind of musical sliced white loaf: it was all about arrangements, middle 8’s, playing gigs. Rock & Roll values took over. That was Woodcock, he really had no idea what the Punk thing was about, he should have joined the Vibrators a lot earlier, in my opinion.
