"It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that"
About this Quote
There is a sly toughness hiding in Bach's breezy confidence: rock, for him, isn't a costume he puts on, it's muscle memory. "Easy" does double duty here. On the surface it's a brag about competence, the kind of shrugging swagger rock culture rewards. Underneath, it reads like a defense of relevance in an era that treats legacy musicians as nostalgia acts or reality-TV personalities. He's insisting that the truest, least negotiable part of his identity is still the stage.
The line also smuggles in a philosophy of craft. Rock mythology loves the idea of raw, chaotic inspiration; Bach reframes it as repetition, endurance, and a job you show up to. "All my life" isn't poetic exaggeration so much as credentialing: decades of blown monitors, van miles, and shifting trends, with the body still willing to do the work. The simplicity is the point. No tortured artiste language, no reinvention pitch. Just a working musician telling you what he can reliably deliver.
Contextually, it's the kind of statement that lands hardest when a public figure is being asked to explain themselves offstage. When interviews orbit drama, lineup changes, or the "where are they now" carousel, Bach counters with the one thing that can't be litigated: performance. The closing "and I love that" seals it as more than competence. It's a declaration of appetite. He's not surviving the past; he's choosing it, again, loudly.
