N: Oh were you? Was a shit gig, wasn’t it? 哦 你有去? 那是个烂演唱，不是吗? 　　 　　 It was great… 那场很正点耶… N: (cuts in) I don’t bloody think so! From what I remember we were awful… .but it’s gonna be much worse tonight I think! 我不这麽认为! 我记得我们很可怕…但我想今晚我们会更糟糕的! 　　 　　 Oh why’d you say that? 噢 为什麽你要这样说? N: See for yourself - you’d know. 你自己看着办-你会懂的。 　　 　　 I loved the first part of the There and Then video. I still remember how at the end of The Swamp Song Liam walked on and shouted Acquiesece to the mic, while you striked the chords to kickstart the gig. It was unforgettable. Amazing. 我很爱There and Then一开始的部分! 我到现在还记得Liam在《The Swamp Song》要结束 的时候，对着mic大喊Acquiesece，你接着就刷吉他开始了这场演唱会。这真令人难忘! 很惊人的表演! N: Hmm that sure was a good show. 嗯 那的确是很棒的表演。 　　 　　 What do you think tonight’s gig is gonna be like? 那你觉得今晚的演唱会会是怎样的? N: I think it’d be interesting! Our lead singer is in a funny mood now and we ’re probably gonna have a car crash tonite. I never try to predict anything. You know there’s so much shit in life you’re gonna be dragged down if you set your hopes too high, right? What I know is I’m gonna be brilliant, but I can’t control the crowd to sing along, or clap or anything…I’ll just make sure that I play well and sing well, that’s what I’ll try to do. 会蛮有意思的! 我们主唱现在没什麽心情，我们今晚可能会车祸吧! 我从不试着预测任何 事，你懂的，生活上有太多狗屁事，如果你期望太高你就会摔的越重，对吧? 我知道我会 表现的耀眼，但是我不能控制其他家伙…我只会试着把自己的表现做到最好，那就是我该 做的。 　　 　　 How do you prepare yourself for a show even when you know you’re not at your best? 如果你知道你自己不在最佳状态，你要怎麽准备接下来的表演? N: That’s a difficult question…You don’t really need to be in a good mood to play a gig you know. For me it’s always do it first, and worry later, yeah. 这是个困难的问题…你知道吗? 你不会真的需要在好心情下才能去做这场演出。对我来说 ，就是先做了再说，担心先摆後面吧。 　　 　　 Sometimes I feel so inconfident on stage. 有时候我在台上会感觉有些没自信。 N: Why? What’s the worst thing that can happen? 为什麽? 有什麽坏事会发生吗? 　　 　　 Like, your monitor goes quiet, and all sorts of things… 可能就像你的monitor挂掉，或之类的事… N: I don’t use a monitor. Never. Just shut it down, man. 我不用monitor的，从不。把它关了吧，老兄。 　　 　　 What, really? 什麽，真的吗? N: I only need one when I need to sing, rest of the time I’d switch it off and just listen with me ears. I mean what’s the worst thing that can happen? People might get up and leave, big deal! 我只在当我唱歌的时候用到，其余时间我会关掉它，用自己的耳朵去聆听。我的意思是， 会有什麽鸟事发生呢? 大不了就是观众会站起来走人! 　　 　　 Not able to hear anything from the monitor…that freaks me out. 无法从monitor听到任何东西…这会让我觉得怪异。 N: So what? You should know what you’re playing anyway. Even if I can’t hear anything, I’d still know how to play a song! You’re never gonna, and you should never, never try to play a song as it sounds on the record! I’m never bothered with with that. 那又怎样? 你本来就应该知道你在弹奏什麽，即使我无法听到任何东西，我还是可以知道 该怎麽弹奏一首歌! 你不应一直尝试弹奏歌曲时，还感觉像是在录音室一样! 　　 　　 Any words of advice for people in a band? 有想对其他团员什麽忠告吗? N: Just don’t think too damn much, you know? Just chill and enjoy it! Tell you what, I never give advices cos I don’t take any. Just enjoy yourself… .How old are u, son? 不要想太多，你懂吗? 就好好享受它吧! 告诉你，我从来不给任何建议，好好享受你自己 的生活吧…孩子，你几岁啦? 　　 　　 28. 二十八。 N: 28, that’s great, soon you’d be 50 and it’s all gonna pass…so don’t worry about anything. 二十八，很好阿，接着你很快就五十岁了，所有的事情都变成过去…所以不要担心其他事 情。 Thanks for the advice! 谢谢你的忠告! 　　 　　 Where do you get your inspirations from? 你的灵感都从哪里得来? N: Man, I dunno. It just comes. I was not trained to be a musician or lyricist or anything like that. You just pick up the guitar and it’d come. I don’t know where that’s from. It just happens. 老兄，我也不了。灵感它就这样冒出来。我也没刻意训练成像是音乐家还是作曲家那样。 你就是弹吉他，然後灵感就出现了! 我不知道它从哪来的? 事情就是这样发生的! 　　 　　 What are your plans after this tour? 巡回结束之後你有什麽计画吗? N: We aint got any to be honest. Apart from a long break. No plans whatsoever for the next record or for other people. 老实说没有。除了放长假好好休息之外。下一张专辑之前，没有任何计画。 　　 　　 Which songs would you recommend? Out of Dig Out Your Soul 你推荐DOYS里什麽歌? N: The first one, Bag it up, Waiting for the Rapture, Soldier On. 第一Bag it up，再来是Waiting for the Rapture和 Soldier On。 　　 　　 What kind of music fans would you recommend these to? 你喜欢怎样的歌迷? N: I don’t think like that. You should just get the sound right. It’s to do with What I do and Who I am and not Who YOU are. I think if I like something then someone else would probably agree it’s good as well. 我不会想这问题。你应该关心该怎麽把声音搞好，该做的是”我该做什麽”、”看清自己 ”，而不是想你该是怎样的人。我觉得假如我喜欢某些事，那一定也会有人同意我喜欢的 事。 　　 　　 You mentioned in an interview that you liked this song Magic Colours by a 70s Hong Kong musician called Teddy Robins. It happens that Dig Out Your Soul is very psychedelic sounding as well. Did you get you inspirations from there somehow? 你曾在一访问中提到，你喜欢《Magic Colours》这首歌，是由七零年代的香港音乐人 Teddy Robins所作。DOYS听起来非常迷幻，你有从这首歌得到任何灵感吗? N: I got this record called Love, Peace and Poetry in a record shop in London which was supposed to be a 60s psychedelic record from Asia. I thought there might be some good stuff in there and that track, Magic Colours, it fxxking blew me away! A bit like Jimi Hendrix or something, probably one of the best thing I’ve ever heard! But no I didn’t get my inspirations from there, at least I probably don’t play guitar as good as he does. 我从这张专辑得到的是爱、和平和诗歌，在伦敦的唱片行我猜测这是来自亚洲六零年代的 迷幻专辑。这里面也许有一些不错的东西，《Magic Colours》这首歌深深的打动我! 有 点像Jimi Hendrix或是什麽，总之是我没听过的歌曲中最好的其中之一! 但是我没有从中 得到灵感，或许我吉他没弹的跟他一样好吧。 　　 　　 Are you familiar with other Asian music? 你熟悉亚洲其他音乐吗? N: No to be honest I don’t know anything about the music here. I’d listen to stuff from the US, India, Germany, Sweden and France though. 老实说没有，我不认识这里的任何音乐。我只会听美国、印度、德国、瑞典和法国的音乐 。 　　 　　 I got into Oasis since WSTMG, and I was crazy about it, singing Don’t look back in anger with my twin brother all the time… 我从WSTMG开始跟随Oasis，我疯狂的沉迷，和我的双胞胎兄弟每天都在唱《Don’t look back in anger》… N: You have a twin brother? Is he in the same band as you? 你有一个双胞胎兄弟? 他和你在同样的乐团吗? 　　 　　 No… 不… N: He was, wasn’t he?? Kick him out!! 他在的话，踢掉他!!! 　　 　　 Now you used to be working class… 你曾经是工人阶级… N: I still am. 我现在还是。 　　 　　 …well our band is sort of from the working level as well. We’re still struggling. Do you have any things to say to young people and musicians here, cos most young people would just spend their time playing video games and stuff… …唔 我们的乐团也来自一样的阶级。我们还在努力奋斗中，你有什麽想对年轻朋友和这 里的音乐人说的吗? 因为大部分的年轻人只会浪费他们的时间在玩电动上… N: That’s what it’s about these days isn’t it? In my days, people were into music like people are into video games now. If they want to sit in front of a computer all day long…then they could try to make some music on the computer. In fact, the guitar is one of the most difficult thing you can learn in the world. It’s much easier with a computer. I started playing the guitar becos I had nothing better to do. My life was really shit. 那就是他们的生活，不是吗? 在我的生活，喜欢音乐就像其他人喜欢电动一样。如果他们 整天坐在电脑前面…它们也许可以试着用电脑来做一些音乐。事实上，吉他是世界上最难 学习的东西之一。电脑就简单多了。我会开始学吉他是因为我也没什麽事好做，我以前的 生活糟透了。 And it took me around 15 years to really learn how to play it well. Even now I ’m still spending all my time learning things about the guitar…compared to that…video games are much, much easier. 而吉他让我花了十五年的时间认真的学习弹奏的更好。即使到了现在，我依然花大部分的 时间这学吉他这件事…比较起来…电动真的非常非常简单。 You know it’s a wonderful thing to be…with music. Whether you’re just singing it or playing it…it’s all brilliant. But it’s hard to get other people into music though, you have to try it and see if you’d like it. 你知道音乐是很奇妙的事。无论你只是唱歌还是弹奏乐器…这全都很棒很亮眼。但是让其 他人喜欢你的音乐也很困难，你必须一直尝试下去。 　　 　　 So do you really not use a computer? 所以你真的不会用电脑? N: No I don’t. Tell you what, there was this time I was at home and my missus went out, leaving the computer on in the kitchen. So she called me and asked me to shut it down for her and I said “alright”. Then I went into the kitchen and I found out I didn’t know how to bloody turn it off! So I just unplugged the thing from the socket, you know?! Then she came back and found out and was mad at me, saying how I was an idiot or something…But then you can live your life so so many years without using a computer, so I don’t think I’d need one. I can’t drive, can’t swim, but I’m doing alright. 我真的不会，跟你说，有一次我待在家而我老婆出门的时候忘记关电脑，所以他打电话回 来叫我去帮她关机，我说”没问题”。但接着我走进厨房，找到那部电脑，但是我他妈的 不知道怎麽关掉它!! 所以你知道吗? 我就直接把插头拔掉!! 等到她回家之後，发现这件 事就对我发火，说我怎麽可以这麽愚蠢之类的…但是你不用电脑一样可以生活阿，所以我 不觉得我需要电脑。我不会开车，我也不会游泳，但我还是好好的。 　　 　　 Don’t you think the Internet can let you see more of the world? 你不觉得网路可以让你知道世界更多消息吗? N: Nah I’m not having that…What I mean is, I’d get up and go there if I want to be somewhere, you know what I mean? 我的意思是，如果我想去什麽地方，我就起身然後出发，你懂我的意思吗? 　　 　　 Do you not use a computer to record demos either? 你从没使用电脑来录制demo吗? N: I don’t do demos. I’d just play something and sing, keep it in my head, then go straight into the studio. Sometimes I think all this stuff on the Internet aren’t really real, like you can’t really know what Hong Kong is like with a single click. You have to be there to feel it. I think the kids might find it useful, how they can search stuff when they need it…but I come from a different time, I don’t need to know how much does a tiger fxxking weight, how many nails an elephant’s got or how many bricks was The Great Wall of China build with, you know? That’s got nothing whatsoever with how I live my life now… but I know, kids are into that sort of stuff. 我不录demo的。我就只弹奏吉他然後唱和，旋律就在我脑海成型，接着就直接进录音室。 有时候我会觉得在网路上的东西很不真实，就像你压一下按键你没办法真的知道香港是什 麽，你必须真的到那边去感受。也许孩子们会觉得他很有用，他们可以上网找他们想要的 东西…但是我是不同时代的人，我不会需要知道有怎麽量老虎该死的体重，长城建造要几 块砖头，你懂吗? 它们跟我现在的生活一点都没关系…但是我知道，孩子们很热衷在上面 。 Source: Milk Magazine ==[End]== -- Gas Panic! http://zimsam.wordpress.com/ --
