What sets 'Some Nights' apart from anything we've ever done is the hip-hop influence. Not so much the actual sound of hip-hop, but more the vibrato and the artistry that comes with it. Right now, the artists that seem to be pushing to be the greatest artists and are trying to change the world are hip-hop artists.

American Musician

John Petrucci

The guitar is a funny instrument because you have bendable strings and distortion - there's a potential for noise. It is more exposing. Actually controlling the instrument, using proper vibrato, bending notes in tune, not fretting too hard, controlling the noise is a skill in itself that takes many years.

Morton Feldman

For me it's the instrument. If I want to think of a flute and the state of the arts I hear a vibrato; I don't know what a flute is unless the person plays it for me.

American Composer

Paul Gilbert

I am trying to build the biggest callus possible on my first finger so I can do one-finger bends and vibrato like B.B. King.

Jaco Pastorius

I play in tune like a cello player and use legitimate vibrato. There are no tricks; it's just all in the hands!

Ritchie Blackmore

I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.

Vocal Health

 It's kind of a funny, goofy sound to do. And sometimes if I have too much coffee, then my vibrato gets out of hand. You're really sensitive to your body and its functions when you're behind this thing.
