Cocky quotes from musicians

[HIStory]

"We all have our limitations... we all know that there's so many things you can't do,? but I mean I don't want some asshole critic to tell me that" - Freddie Mercury

Some of the quotes in this thread I don't find that arrogant. Sure Oasis are jerks and there are others who truly are arrogant, but Freddie Mercury - I don't think he was. This quote is the truth! And it was in answer to the fact that American critics ALWAYS trashed Queen.

It's not really cocky but I just love the way Freddie talks, I love his interviews and the way he's always swearing yet not being vulgar but funny and entertaining instead. This quote isn't really appropriate here since what you said is right. But I simply love it lol Freddie has never really been cocky. I love his personality and admire him just as I do love Michael. It's clear how they're two entirely different persons.

Michael in Wembley 88 "Hello London! And welcome to our royal guests!"
Freddie in Leiden 86 "How are you bunch of cocks!"

I dunno why I just thought I'd post it here Freddie's never been cocky in a sense of bitching.
