A BLABBERMOUTH.NET transcript of the chat follows below (only slightly edited for clarity). 在离团之後，前DT鼓手MP今天在纽约电台 Q104.3FM晚间节目 Eddie Trunk’s Friday Nigh Rock中，第一次谈论到他的离团。由BLABBERMOUTH.NET誊录的内容如下。 Q: Clearly you weren't just some drummer — you were very much a focal point and driving force [behind DREAM THEATER]. So what went down and how did we arrive at this point that you are no longer a member of DREAM THEATER? 问 : 众所皆知，你不仅只是鼓手而已，更是推动DT运转的核心。所以，到底是那边出了 问题，才会走到这步田地，而你不再是DT的成员？ Portnoy: Well, I don't know how to sum it up, but I guess I could sum it up by just saying I was put in a position where I kind of had to quit in order to move forward. I love DREAM THEATER, I love the guys, it's been my baby for 25 years, but I just needed a break from DREAM THEATER. And a lot of people have already misinterpreted my press release, saying, "Well, if he needs a break, why is he playing with all these other bands?" I didn't need a break from playing and from touring and doing projects — I really just felt like DREAM THEATER needed a break. We have been on a write-record-tour cycle for a solid 12, 15 years — almost 20 years at this point — without any real breaks, and I was just feeling like it was... I don't know... It was just a pattern that needed to be broken. And this isn't something that I just started feeling and decided overnight; I mean, this dates back to last year. I was already feeling it [back then]. We were in Europe on the Progressive Nation tour last fall and I even suggested to the guys, "Why don't we not tour as much in 2010?" We were gonna do an American tour in the spring and we ended up blowing that out — just 'cause I really felt the need to shake up the cycle and break the pattern that we'd been doing for so long because it was starting to become a little stale to me. I would go off and do these other projects and they were very refreshing to me and yet I'd come back to DREAM THEATER, and as much as I love the music and as much me and the bandmembers are brothers, I just felt like we needed a break from each other in order to reignite the flame. Dating back to last fall I was feeling it, and then when I was out with TRANSATLANTIC this last spring, I was talking about it with some people on that tour. And then when we were out with [IRON] MAIDEN this summer, I knew it was coming to a head. And finally I brought it up to the guys and suggested, "Why don't we just take a little bit of a break? We've been going non-stop for so many years, I think maybe a couple of years' hiatus would do us good. It would give us each a chance to recharge our batteries and be reinspired." And those guys didn't agree with me. They wanted to keep going, and they wanted to start a new album in January [2011], and I just really felt strongly that a break could do us some good. And we just disagreed on that point. And, basically, it came to... After this initial discussion, we went off for about a week or so to think about it, and we came back together a couple of nights ago to talk about it, and they didn't wanna budge; they really wanted to start the album in January — with or without me. And I really felt if I was forced to go into the studio in January feeling the way I'm feeling that my heart wouldn't be in it and I would be going through the motions and not really doing what I really, really felt in my heart I should be doing, which is getting a breather... And that's what happened. Basically, I was put in the position where I either had to do the album in January against my will or I had to say goodbye, and I chose to say goodbye. It was the hardest decision I've ever made in my life and I feel really sad about it, and those guys are really sad about it. It's kind of weird that it came to this because none of us really wanted it, but inevitably this is the way it went down. MP：这个嘛，我不晓得该怎麽为这件事总结。但我想可以这麽说，我被迫处在一个，某种 程度上我必须离开，才能继续前进到下一生涯个阶段的状态下。我爱DT，我爱DT的成员， 25年来他一直是我的宝贝，但我真的需要一段没有DT的时间。不过有很多人已经开始误解 我的声明，认为「如果他需要休息的话，他干麻去玩其他的团？」我并不需要暂时停止打 鼓、巡回或玩其它的团，我真的只是觉得DT该休息一下了。我们已经持续了写歌-录歌-巡 回这种循环整整12，15年了，在这个时间点，有将近20年的时间我们没有得到真正的休息 ，所以我就觉得‧‧‧不晓得‧‧‧我们应该要打破这个模式。而且这也不是我在一个晚 上就突然得到这样的想法并作出决定，我是说，从去年就开始，我就已经有这样的感觉。 去年秋天，我们正在欧洲作Progressive Nation的巡回，当时我提出了这样的建议「我们 何不在2010年时作少一点的巡回演唱？」同时我们正要准备春季的美国巡回，後来中止了 ，就是因为我觉得我们需要调整步调，打破我们行之已久的模式，因为这对我来说已经有 点腻了。我想要玩一些不同的东西，它们能让我感到精神为之一亮，而最後我也会再回到 DT。就是因为我非常喜欢DT的音乐跟成员，我才会觉得我们彼此间需要一些停歇，才能 再度激发出火花。去年的秋天我就是有这样的感觉，之後在今年春天跟 Transatlantic巡 回上，我就有跟一些人讲。之後在夏季跟Iron maiden巡回时，我就知道这事已箭在弦上 。最後我向其他团员提出了这件事以及建议「我们何不稍微休息一阵子呢？我想我们已经 不停歇地运作了好多年，也许停止一两年的活动对我们来说是好的，这可以让我们养精蓄 锐、重新激发出新灵感。」不过他们并不同意我的想法，他们想要在2011年一月开始做新 的专辑。我真的就是感到短暂的休息对我们有好处，反正在那个时候我们就是没有共识。 基本上，最後就是‧‧‧在这最初的讨论之後，我们个各自分开了大概一个礼拜，然後我 们在几天前又再度一起讨论这件事。他们完全不想改变计画，不管有没有我，他们都非常 想要在一月时着手新的专辑。我当时感到，如果我在一月被迫进入录音室，我的心不在那 边，我可能只是做做样子，做一些并不是我心中真正想作的事情，也就是喘口气。这就是 那时的局面，基本上就是，我被迫处在一个两难的情况，要麻就是违背我的意志在一月时 进录音室，要麻就是我必须说再见，而我选择了说再见。这是我这辈子作过最困难的决定 ，我对此感到很难过，其他人也感到很难过。这说来有点奇怪，事情演变成如此并非是我 们所想要的，不过最後这就是无可避免的结果。 Q: You didn't wanna quit and obviously they didn't want you out. It really just seems like it was a disagreement as to where you were in your life with the band and what they wanted to do, and I guess the odds came out to four against one, and they decide they're going without you. 问：所以你并不想要退出，他们也不想要你离开。这像是你在乐团岁月中的某个历程与其 他人想作的事互相冲突，而我猜结果就是4对1，他们决定在没你的情况下继续进行？ Portnoy: That's exactly it. I mean, I didn't wanna quit and they didn't want me to leave, but yet here we are; it was the only way that they could happily move on and I could happily move on. It's a weird kind of break-up, because it was a break-up where we still loved each other. I got, like, the nicest e-mail today from John Petrucci [DREAM THEATER guitarist] and I got a great e-mail today from Jordan [Rudess, DREAM THEATER keyboardist]. They miss me and they're sad about this, and I'm sad about it and I'm heartbroken, but we just strongly disagree. I really think that the band could have used a few years to recharge our batteries and so many bands have done it — whether it be SOUNDGARDEN, ALICE IN CHAINS, JANE'S ADDICTION, PHISH, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE... A lot of bands, when you're going this long and this strong, they take a break and then come back bigger and better than ever, and that's kind of what I hoped would happen with DREAM THEATER, and I was hoping that would be the path we could take together, but it was not to be. MP：没错就是那样！我并不想要退出，他们也不想要我离开，不过事情就像现在这样，让 他们可以开心的继续下去，我也可以开心的往前进行。这样的拆伙颇奇怪，因为这是在我 们对彼此都有好感的情况下拆伙的。今天 John Petrucci寄了封超赞的e-mail给我， Jordan也寄了封很棒的e-mail，他们很想我且对这件事感到难过，我也是，我心碎了，不 过我们仍就对此事意见分歧。我真心认为我们可以用几年的时间来重新充电，有很多乐团 已经如此作过了，像是Soundgarden、Alice in Chains、Jane’s Addiction、Phish、 Rage Against the Machine等一堆乐团。当年他奋斗到如此的地步，变的如此突出，他们 仍选择休息一阵子，复出後蜕变得更猛更屌，这就是我希望这样的事也能发生在DT，这就 是我希望我们能一起走过的历程，不过事与愿违。 Q: How much do you think that playing with AVENGED SEVENFOLD and the other projects that you do — you're always busy working creatively, doing other things, whether it's DREAM THEATER or not — played a role in this coming down, if any? 问：你认为先前与A7X以及其他乐团的合作。反正你总是忙於作些有的没有的新的东西， 不论是否跟DT有关，这跟现在这样的处境有任何关联吗？ Portnoy: Well, it absolutely had nothing to do with my initial thoughts, because, like I mentioned earlier, I was already discussing this with the guys last fall. And last fall, The Rev [late AVENGED SEVENFOLD drummer] was still alive and well and I had nothing to do with AVENGED SEVENFOLD and I was already feeling these feelings last September/October. If you watch the "Wither" video that we shot on that tour, almost all the footage is me hanging out with Mikael Åkerfeldt [of OPETH] or Damon Fox [of BIGELF]; I was already feeling some separation from the guys in DREAM THEATER. The groundwork in those feelings was already laid down back then. So, really, the feelings had nothing to do with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, and once 2010 rolled around, I went and did some shows with HAIL!, and then I went and did a couple of months of touring with TRANSATLANTIC, and then I started the tour with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, and all three of those projects — not just AVENGED, but all three of those projects — equally showed me how I was feeling very comfortable and happy and refreshed with some of these other bands. And I go back to DREAM THEATER, like on the MAIDEN tour, and the relationships between the five of us in DREAM THEATER were a bit strained; everybody was kind of just burnt out on each other — sitting in different dressing rooms and not hanging out, and like I mentioned, if you watch the "Wither" video... There was a bit of that strain, and 25 years together sometimes will do that. We love each other, we're brothers, and we're family, but sometimes you kind of grow apart and need some space, and that's what I was feeling. Honestly, this all was brewing way before AVENGED SEVENFOLD, but AVENGED SEVENFOLD, the experience with them kind of just opened my eyes a bit, as did the TRANSLATLANTIC tour, and as did the HAIL! shows. It just opened my eyes up to what a fresh relationship can be... I don't know... It's real tough for me to put in words and I really don't wanna be misnterpreted. I really don't want people to think that I left DREAM THEATER for AVENGED SEVENFOLD — I am not a member of AVENGED SEVENFOLD; I'm just touring them and helping them out, and we're having a great time. I just felt like I wouldn't have my heart into going back to DREAM THEATER in January without having some sort of a break. I mean, the way it is now with AVENGED, I guess we'll just ride this out together, because they're a band without a drummer, and now I'm a drummer without a band. We haven't made any decisions or have even discussed where we go from here. It's just for now I will continue playing with them and we'll see where we go from there. MP：厄‧‧‧这绝对跟我萌发这样的想法完全无关。就如我早先提到的，我早已在去年秋 天就跟其他人讨论过了，那时The Rev还健在、我跟A7X也没有瓜葛，而我在9/10月就已有 这样的想法。如果你看过我们在巡回时拍摄的音乐影带”Wither”，你会发现几乎都是我 跟 Mikael Akerfeldt或是Damon Fox泡在一起的片段。那时我已经感到与DT的团员有些隔 阂了。〈拆伙的〉根源在那时早已种下。所以，真的完全跟A7X无关。来到2010年，我和 Hail!作了一些表演，接下来跟Transatlantic作了几个月的巡回，之後才开始与A7X一同 表演。不只有A7X，这三个团同样都让我感到舒服、愉快、新鲜。再来我回到DT表演，像 是与Iron Maiden的巡回，当时我们五个DT团员的关系就有点疲乏，对彼此失去热情，各 自坐在不同的梳妆室，不会泡在一块。就像我先前讲的，如果你有看 Wither的影带，会 看出一些那样的疲乏。呆在一块25年就有可能会造成如此的情形。我们对彼此有好感，我 们是哥们，更是家人，但有时仍会渐渐梳远，需要空间，而这就是我当下的感觉，这些在 我与A7X合作前早已开始蕴酿。而与A7X的合作让我的眼界更开阔了一些，与 Transatlantic、与 Hail!亦是如此。与他们的合作让我了解到一个新的关系会是怎样的 感受。我真心的把想法写成文字，我也真心希望这不要被误解。我真的不希望人们认为我 离开DT是因为A7X，我只是跟着他们巡回、帮助他们，我们玩得很开心。我只是觉得在没 有得到某种程度的休息下，我是不会有在一月回去DT的想法。我是指，现在的路就是与 A7X合作，他们是个没有鼓手的乐团，而我是没有乐团的鼓手，我猜这一段路我们会一起 渡过。我们对於现在该如何走尚未作出任何决定，甚至连讨论都还没。暂时我会先与他们 一同表演，再来看看之後要怎样。 Q: The first thing I thought about when I heard about this, and I'm sure a lot of fans did as well, was that the other guys in DREAM THEATER probably said , "Well, he's playing with all these other bands, but when need to work, he doesn't have time for us, so that's that." But you're saying that really wasn't it. 问：当我听到这事我第一个想到，我想很多粉丝也会猜想的，就是其他DT的成员大概会说 「好吧，他在别的团玩的很开心，但是要工作时，就没时间跟我们一起，就是那样」。但 你说完全不是那样。 Portnoy: I don't know... Yeah, maybe they do feel that way. MP：我不知道唉，也许他们真是那样想吧。 Q: Kind of like your girlfriend is off doing other stuff and then when you need her, she's not available. 问：这不就好像是，当你需要你女朋友时，她没空，因为他在忙其他东西？ Portnoy: You know, I cannot ever be accused of not having my heart into DREAM THEATER. I mean, I've literally spent 25 years... It's my baby . . . I mean, I almost felt like I had to sacrifice myself from the situation so I wouldn't be holding them back and I wouldn't be doing something against my will. It's incredible for me to think that they're carrying on without me, but I guess that they're... I used to joke with them all the time. I used to say, "If I ever die, don't say 'He would have wanted us to carry on.' Because I wouldn't want you to carry on without me.'" The last thing I ever wanted to see was a DREAM THEATER without Mike Portnoy in it, so I used to always joke with them about that. But now, here when faced with this reality... I mean, sure, the selfish side of me doesn't wanna think of that band without me, and I kind of wish we would have just taken a break, but then there's the side of me that... I can't hold them back. They're my friends and they're my brothers and if they really wanna continue, then I can't say no; I don't wanna be an a-hole and do that to them. It's a strange situation, and luckily it ended on good terms and those guys have made it blatantly clear that the door is always open for me. So, I mean, it's a weird thing because I would go back to them in a heartbeat, just not now. I just need a break. MP：如同你所了解的，我是不可能被说我的心没有投入DT。我是说，我确确实实的花了25 年在他上面，他是我的宝。我几乎就觉得在那个情况下我必须牺牲自己才不会阻碍他们的 发展，而我也不会作一些违背自己意志的事。一想到他们打算在没有我的情况下继续运作 ，这对我来说很不可思异，不过我猜他们就是要那样了。我以前常常跟他们开玩笑说：「 如果我死了千万不要说『他会希望我们继续运作的。』因为我绝对不想要你们在没有我的 时候继续下去。」我最不想要看到的就是没有MP的DT，所以我常常拿这个开玩笑，不过现 在成真了。反正就是这样，我自私的一面不想看到这个乐团没有我，我有点就是希望我们 能休息一阵子，但另一面我又不想妨碍他们前进。他们是我的朋友、我的哥们，如果他们 真的要继续下去，我就不能说不，我不想要当个讨厌鬼，对他们说不行。真是个奇特的局 面，可喜的是结果还算圆满，他们也明确的表示门随时为我敞开。所以呢，这真是件奇怪 的事，我可以马上回到他们那边，但不是现在。我真的需要休息。 Q: How much time did you feel that you needed that you told them that you wanted away [from DREAM THEATER]? 问：当你告诉他们你想离开时，你认为你需要离开多久的时间？ Portnoy: When I proposed it, I proposed an indefinite hiatus, as so many bands go on, and all of whom have come back bigger and better than ever. But that didn't go over [well with the other guys], so then, after talking about it, I said, "Well, then how about, let's say, a year [or] a year and a half? Why don't we take off 2011 and reconvene in 2012?" John Petrucci could do a solo album — he's been talking about that for the longest time — and James [LaBrie] just did a solo album, and John Myung just did a JELLY JAM album, and Jordan's got plans... It made sense. It's like, "Let's just take off 2011 — everybody could do their own thing — and reconvene in 2012." And that didn't go over [well] either; they didn't wanna do that either. I even offered to do various work with them in 2011 — even though it wasn't what I wanted, I was willing to do it just to keep the band afloat. It just didn't fly. It's just unfortunate that that's the way that the chips fell. MP：当时，我提了一个无限期休团的建议，就像许多其他乐所作过的，而那些团复出後变 的更棒了，不过这个建议并没有引起共鸣。在这之後，我又说：「那休息个一年、一年半 如何？我们可以在2011休团然後在2012复出。」John Petrucci可以作一张独奏专辑，他 已经一直念这个念了有使以来最久的一次，James Labrie刚完成了一张独唱专辑，John Myung也刚作了一张Jelly Jam，而Jordan已经有计画了，所以这很说的通阿，就像我说的 2011年休团，大家都可以忙自己手上的东西，然後在2012复出，不过这也没有引起共鸣， 他们也不想要这样〈的计画〉，我甚至提出，在2011我可跟他们作一些不同的东西，即使 这不是我所要的。我愿意这麽作只是为了让这个乐团维持下去。不过就是行不通，这就是 个无法阻止的遗憾。 On how his role in DREAM THEATER and whether he thinks he can be easily replaced: 这段谈论到他在DT中扮演的角色及他的位置是否能轻易的取代： Portnoy: The two situations I could think of that are similar [to this] — Tommy Lee with MÖTLEY CRÜE and maybe Phil Collins with GENESIS — and in both of those cases they both left, and in both of those cases they came back, so you know what?! Maybe that will be the case here... I don't know. But to be honest with you, to me the thing that is so weird about this is that my role in DREAM THEATER just went so beyond the drumming. Honestly, I think there's thousands of drummers that could walk into DREAM THEATER right now and could do a great job drumming-wise, but what about the other thousand things that I had to do in DREAM THEATER?! . . . I think they'll have no problem getting a great drummer — there's lots of great drummers out there — but I think they're gonna have to really step up to the plate to cover all of the other responsibilities; they're gonna each have to put in 500 percent more to cover that ground. And I guess they're up to it. I've already seen John Petrucci doing Q&As [question-and-answer sessions] on his web site, which in all these years I've never seen him do, so I guess they're each gonna step up to the plate and cover that ground that I used to cover. You know, I never in a million years thought I would ever see a DREAM THEATER concert, and I'm looking forward to one day doing it. [Laughs] MP：我想到了两个类似这样情况的前例，Tommy Lee与MÖTLEY CRÜE或是Phil Collins跟 Genesis，这两个例子中他们两人都离开，且最後又都回来了，所以你知道吗，我想这可 能也会是我们这边的情况‧‧‧我不晓得。不过我老实跟你说，对我来说这事情最怪的地 方就是我在DT中的角色不仅只是鼓手而已。说实在，我想现在就有很多鼓手能能随时入替 DT，并且能作个称职的鼓手，但大量其他我在DT中要作的职责呢？现在就有许多很棒的鼓 手，我想他们要找到一个一定不是问题。但我想他们真的必须要采取行动来顾及其他的面 向，他们每个人都要附出百分之500的精神来处理那些事。我想他们有那样的能力，我已 经看到John Petrucci在他的网站上作问与答的部份，这在这几年间是从来没看过的。所 以我猜他们每个人都会开始处理我以前在处理的事务。你知道吗，以前我从来没想过我会 去看一场DT的表演，现在我很期待能看到〈笑〉。 Q: If I'm a betting man, I have to say that it won't be more than a year or two before you return to that gig under some circumstance. 问：如果我要下注，我会认为不出一到两年，你就会在某种条件下归团。 Portnoy: Well, you know what?! If that was to happen, then I got what I wanted [laughs] — I got my break from them and they got what they wanted; they got to continue on. Maybe a couple of years from now we'll get back together and we'll live happily ever after. I don't know. But there's been so many cases — you've seen it; history has shown — and I've already cited MÖ TLEY CRÜE and GENESIS, but you could talk about... AEROSMITH went on without Joe Perry and MAIDEN went on without Bruce [Dickinson] and [JUDAS] PRIEST without [Rob] Halford... Ultimately, they all came back together and I would love it if some day that happens with us . . . The whole thing is as tough for me to swallow as it is for the fans. I feel really bad for the fans, 'cause I spent my entire career making decisions for them and trying to feed the fanbase, and I knew this was one decision that wouldn't be a popular one with the fans, but for once in my life — for once — I had to do what Mike Portnoy felt was right and not what was best for DREAM THEATER. I mean, what would have been best for DREAM THEATER, in my opinion, would have been to just take a few years off — everybody do their own thing, recharge the batteries and come together. But we're five different people with five different personalities, and I guess we differed on that subject . . . We've mentioned these other scenarios [where the members parted ways and then] all [came] back together. The thing that scares the crap out of me, though, is I see a similarity to maybe Roger Waters with PINK FLOYD and that never came back together, and that scares the crap out of me. It would be a tragedy if I never got to be on stage with DREAM THEATER again . . . I'm at peace with [my decision to leave the band] — I really am. I'm depressed and sad and shocked over it, but I am indeed at peace with it, and I think it was the right thing [to do], because I had to follow my heart. I've never been a fake or a B.S. person, and if I would be forced to go into the studio in January, I would feel resentments, and I can't do that. I need to love what I'm doing, and I've never done a project or an album or anything with any other musician that I didn't believe in. MP：这个麻，你知道吗？如果这会发生的话，那就是我已得到我想要的〈笑〉。我得到了 没有DT的休息，他们也得到他们想要的，他们必须走下去。也许一两年後，我们会再重组 ，然後之後我们就会过着幸福快乐的日子。我不知道。你也看过历史上已经有如此多的实 例，我也提过MÖTLEY CRÜE和Genesis，不过你还是可以提像是没有Joe Perry的 Aerosmith，没有Bruce的Iron Maiden以及少了Halfrod的Judas Priest‧‧‧最後他们都 重聚了，我希望有一天这也会发生在我们身上。这整件事，我跟粉丝们都一样难以接受， 对粉丝们我感到很抱歉，因为我整个生涯都在为他们作决定，满足所有粉丝们，我知道这 次的决定一定不会受到青睐，不过在我此生中就这麽一次，就一次，我要作MP认为是对的 的决定，而不是对DT最好的选择。我的意思是，在我看来，对DT最有益的就是休团几年， 每个人去作自己的东西，充电，然後再重聚。不过我们是五个有着不同个性的个体，我想 我们大概在这个议题上有不同的见解。我们刚已经讨论过一些最後团园又都重聚的情节。 不过最让我害怕到挫赛的，就是想到像是Roger Waters与Pink Floyd，他们从未再团聚， 这真的让我吓到挫赛。如果我再也没能够与DT同台，这会是一个不幸。现在我对我的选择 感到很平和，真的。过去〈这段时间〉，我真的很失落、难过，并且错愕。不过我现在真 的很平和，而且我认为这是正确的事，因为我必须跟着我心中的想法去作，我从来都不是 一个会打嘴炮说假话的人，如果我在一月真的被迫要进录音室，我会很不爽，我也不会那 样做，我所要作的事一定是要让我喜欢的。我不曾跟我不信认的乐手玩过团或作过一张专 辑。 Q: You're out with AVENGED SEVENFOLD, which is gonna continue into the New Year, so at this point, you're just gonna hold with that gig and continue playing with those guys and I imagine you're having fun doing it, right? 问：你跟A7X的合作会持续到新年，所以现在你会一直跟着他们表演，我想你一定从中得 到很多乐趣，对吗？ Portnoy: Well, yeah. I am indeed having a great time with these guys, so there's no denying that. They're a great bunch of guys, the show is awesome, their fans are awesome, and they've been great to me. The thing with them is they need to take small baby steps because of the situation they just went through with their drummer dying, so they're really in no rush to get a permanent drummer, and they're taking baby steps one day at a time. And I'm in the same boat now, because I don't wanna make any major decisions right now either and now I'm gonna take baby steps and just take this one day at a time. And I guess right now there's no pressure for me, and there's no pressure for them, to make any decisions for awhile now; we can just carry on with their tour, and we have the luxury of time now without any pressure hanging over either of our heads. So I'll carry on with them and then when the time comes that I have to make a decision to do something else, I'll climb that hill when I get there. But right now, it's nice to not have the pressure and I could just play. MP：这个，是阿，我不否认，跟他们一起我真的有很好的时光。他们是群很棒的人，表演 很棒、粉丝们也很棒，而且他们一直对我很好。他们要面对的是踏出新的一步，他们才刚 经历了鼓手过世的这段时期，所以他们并不急於要找新的鼓手，他们每天都往前跨出一小 步。现在我也在同一条船上，因为我现在并不想作出重大的决定，所以我跟他们一样每天 都往前走一点。我猜现在我跟他们都一样没有在短时间内作出决定的压力，我们可以继续 作巡回，现在我们正享受着头上没有任何压力的黄金时光，所以我会跟着他们继续下去， 当时机成熟时，我就会作出决定、跨过那道障碍。不过就现在来说，没有压力真好，我可 以只顾着打鼓。 --
