原文恕删 出自杂志访谈: http://tinyurl.com/oaqwnp RP/KP(大概是访问的人) vs. MP RP: Talking of new markets. how was your first trip to China? How does that compare with other Asian markets? 　　(关於新市场，你第一次到中国的经验怎麽样? 跟其他亚洲国家比起来呢?) MP: Do you want the politically correct answer or do you want the truth? <Laughter> (你想听政治上的答案呢还是听真的) (笑) KP: Tell us the truth Mike! 　　(公金ㄝ啦) MP: The truth would be that that was the least favourite show on the tour actually and I don't think I'm alone in that. It was a very difficult gig and when we were there we were flabbergasted at how not together the country was. especially since they were going to be hosting the Olympics a few months later. It was just a really difficult gig and they just didn't have it together in terms of preparation and accomo- dation. So I don't think we are going to be returning there that soon. This is horrible to say but a lot of places where we go on tour, in particular if we have a bad gig or venue and report back to our manager and say that we can never play this venue again. It's too small or it just doesn't accomodate our show etc. After the China gig, I called our manager and said, "not only are we blacklisting this venue, we're blacklisting the entire country. We don't want to go back to China." 　　(事实上，那是巡回里面我最不喜欢的一场表演，而且我觉得不是只有我这麽想。 　　那是非常辛苦的一场表演，当我们到了那里实在大吃一惊，这个国家太不团结了， 　　他们竟然在几个月之後还要办奥运。他们没有把事情组合在一起，或是说他们 　　没有准备、协调妥当。我想我们短期之内不会再去那里表演了。这样说很糟糕， 　　我们到很多地方表演、参加演出，如果表演得很差，我们会跟经理人回报，我们 　　以後无法再来表演。可能是因为场地太小，或是没有对方没有准备充分等等。在 　　中国的演唱会後，我打电话给经理人说，我们除了要把这个场地列入黑名单，这 　　整个国家都要列入黑名单，我们不想回来再办表演。) RP: That's a pretty big country to blacklist as well. 　　(那这个黑名单上的国家也很大呀。) MP: I know. It's horrible to say but unfortunately it's the truth. 　　(我知道，这样讲很糟糕，但很不幸的事实就是如此。) KP: So was it a stark contrast to when you are in Japan then? 　　(所以说这跟你们在日本的时候对比很大罗?) MP: Well, yeah, it's a big contrast but not just Japan we'd also done Korea, Singapore and Bangkok. All of those gigs were tremendous. All of the rest Asian gigs were awesome. (嗯，对，的确是很强烈的对比，除了日本我们还有去韩国、新加坡和泰国。 　　其他地方的表演都超棒、超赞的) ... 实际上发生了什麽事我也不知道，总之MP (DT)好像很堵烂 後来MP在自己的网站上有道歉了，说他不是针对歌迷 要封锁中国是夸张的说法...:P I apologize if my words came off too harsh. Sometimes in interviews I can say things lightly and with (what I think is) a bit of humour and of course it gets misinterpreted, misread and I am then the bad guy... Mind you, I usually dont go out of my way to EVER say anything negative....it's just when I am asked questions in interviews I tend to tell the truth without pulling punches (you can see I even debated before answering this particular question) and often "the truth hurts!" (OMG - the beating I am currently taking elsewhere for honestly answering why I don't work with OSI anymore!!!) Sometimes I think I'd be better off not being honest (like some artists I know)or not caring about the fans and doing any interviews at all (like some other artists I know...) I can never win! Anyways, as much as the last experience in China was very difficult for us all...(the show was very close to being cancelled) - it was of course not AT ALL due to the fans... We surely felt the love and passion from the audience during the show!!! It was simply the surrounding accomodations before and after the show that were very difficult....but of course we fully understand this was not the fan's doing.... My saying we LITERALLY blacklisted the entire country of China was just an exaggeration for the article and was meant to be light-hearted. Of course, if we can ever find ourselves in a situation where we can come back and put on the show under the conditions we expect from everywhere else in the world we play, then we'd love to see all of your wonderful smiling faces again! Please everyone - gimme a break! I'm not the bad guy....I really am a nice guy and mean no harm!!!!
