Q: Give me a snapshot of the making of Definitely Maybe. 谈谈《绝对可能》制作过程的概要吧 Not fun. Because we made it three times before we got what we wanted. Hard graft. The realization also came that Tony [McCarrol] wasn’t good enough. I’d already written most of…Morning Glory, I’d written that drum fill on "Don’t Look Back In Anger" that goes into the last chorus. And it was like, “He can’t even play in a straight line.” 「不怎麽好玩。因为在完成最後成品之前我们整整录了三次，超辛苦的。这也让我们了解 鼓手Tony根本就不够格。那时候其实我已经写好Morning Glory大部分的歌了，也包括 "Don’t Look Back In Anger"进到最後副歌之前那段过门的鼓，而事实就是 “他连那段都没办法稳稳好好的打”。」 Q: And…Morning Glory? 那《晨光荣耀》呢？ If I’d thought then that 18 million people were going to buy that album, I’d still be making it now. I look back and think, “What a privilege”. It was a wonderfully romantic time. We could go to the village pub for a game of pool, me and Bonehead. 「如果当初知道会有一千八百多万人来买这张专辑，我可能到现在都还在录制吧。 如今回头看，我会觉得“这是多麽大的荣幸和特权啊”，那真的是一段美好而浪漫的 时光，我和Bonehead还可以一起到乡下的酒吧，打打撞球。」 Q: Do you miss all that? 你会怀念那时候的一切吗？ I miss those first few years up until Knebworth. Not in the sense that I’d like to relive them—I’ve done it once—but everything up to then was brand new. After that, the phone call came to be all about sales figures. I know what’s going to happen to me in the next five years, and it’s nothing that’s not happened in the last five. Before Knebworth, every day was new. I don’t even remember getting a hangover. I only have to look at a can of Guinness now and I get a fucking headache. When I travel to Wembly in a convoy of limousines in the summer, I’ll feel like a rock star. I didn’t then. \ I had butterflies all the time. 「我会怀念到Knebworth破纪录演唱会之前，最初的那五年。并不是我希望再回到过去── 已经都经历过了──而是在那之前，一切都是那麽的新鲜。过了那个时间点，之後打来 的电话都是关於销售数字，我也可以预见接下来五年会发生什麽，而那些都是之前早就 做过的事。在Knebworth以前，每天都是崭新的一天，我甚至不会记得前晚的宿醉。但是 现在，只要看一眼啤酒罐，我可能就会他妈的头痛了。还有今年夏天当我到Wembly 准备开唱，有一整排礼车护驾，我会感觉像是摇滚巨星，但是当年同样的排场我却没有 这种感觉，那时候总是有点紧张不安，像是蝴蝶在体内翻腾一样。」 Q: Any regrets? 有任何懊悔的地方吗？ America. We blew it. Our record company, on the day after Liam had a big dribble of spit coming out of his mouth at the MTV awards, virtually said goodbye to us. That was it. We’d sold four million albums there to that point, more than in England. We could have been bigger than The Beatles there. See, Liam ultimately thinks he’s unworthy of it, so he tries to destroy it. Raging fucking insecurity. I’m not insecure, I’ll sell it. All he had to do was stand at the back, wear sunglasses and shut the fuck up. 「美国吧，我们搞砸了。那边的唱片公司，在Liam於MTV颁奖典礼上从口中吐出一大坨口水 之後，差不多就等於和我们说掰掰了。就是这麽回事。在那之前我们曾经在美国卖出 四百万张唱片，比在英国还多，我们或许有机会超越披头在那里的成就。你了了吗， 最终Liam还是觉得自己不值那个地位，所以他乾脆试着毁掉一切，愤怒的挥舞他妈的 不安全感。我没有那种感觉，我会在美国好好出头成功，他只要站在後面，戴着墨镜， 然後他妈的闭嘴就好了。」 (关於 Liam 怎麽毁掉在美国的前途，请参考新闻整理第三、四条 http://www.ukcia.org/potculture/91/oasis2.html ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers!
