-- Gerard这次来台接受TAITEI TIMES的访问， 其中有个问题是「有乐评把你们归类在EMO ROCK，你的看法如何？」 先附上挂有中文字幕的影像档 http://www.pixnet.net/photo/WPOP/80286519 懒得看影像的 XD，以下是影像中文字幕： 因为我不喜欢别人用这种偷懒的方法， 也就是把简单的词汇，套在不容易描述的东西上。 我觉得很气馁，因为我们根本不是Emo团， 可是来找我们的正常表演却不多。 现在Emo音乐越来越红，我们还跟基督教金属乐团一起巡回， 只有那种乐团会…或是其他定位混淆的乐团， 只有这种乐团会找我们表演，所以真的很气馁。 其实我们完全不是Emo团，我们是Emo团的相反， 结果我们去参加Emo团的表演，反而变成怪胎， 现场只有几个人是来看我们，他们跟我们一样穿黑色的衣服，就是这样。 我们不想打扮得邋邋遢遢，整天唱着跟女人有关的废话。 还有我希望大家知道，My Chemical Romance的音乐， 跟现在所有的音乐类型都不同，我们的音乐非常特殊， 而且我们可是拼了命才做出来的，所以把我们归类为Emo团是种侮辱， 他们没有努力，他们没有费心费力地，为自己跟歌迷做出特别的音乐， 我们只为自己跟歌迷而唱，不是为任何人。 歌迷众多是很好，歌迷少我们还是一样， 我们只想提供安全的环境，让自己跟歌迷能够好好享受， 所以我们这个乐团根本不是Emo团。 人们总喜欢把两者相提并论，但那是大错特错， 我们跟他们的基础不同，精髓也不同。 Emo没有内涵也不特别，它只是流行庞克借屍还魂， 可以说是涂上眼线的流行庞克吧，无聊又多余， 因为这样我才觉得气馁，刚开始我们确实非常辛苦， 因为我们跟那些乐团不一样。 以下是访问原文 RB: You really hate being called an "emo" band. Why do you despise that term so much? GW: I don't like any term that to me seems lazy or an easy term for something that's not easy to describe. I also think it's frustrating. We were so the opposite of the emo band that we couldn't get booked playing shows, because there was this budding emo scene, and we literally were touring with Christian-metal bands, or other bands that were very off-kilter as well. We were almost created in opposition to that. We were like the answer to what was happening. We didn't fit in with this dungareed, moppy-haired, whining-about-girl type of nonsense. I just wish people would realize that what happens with My Chemical Romance is completely exclusive from any other kind of genre of music. What we have is extremely special. And we've worked very hard to get it there. So it's an insulting term in the fact that we're lumped in with bands that didn't create that. They didn't put in the work and they didn't slug it out to create something that was unique for us and our fans. It's just for us and the fans, it's not for anybody else. If the fan base is huge, that's awesome. If it's small, same thing. The whole phenomena of the band has nothing to do with what people are calling emo. It's not at all like that. It wasn't founded on the same things. The blood that went into it was different. [Emo] didn't have the spit, it doesn't have the grit of it. It's not unique. It's just pop-punk all over again. Now it's pop-punk with eyeliner. All of it's boring and really redundant. That's why it's frustrating, because it was difficult for us starting out because we were nothing like that. 访问全文 http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2008/01/31/2003399701 --
