Q: Did you ever apologise to your brother over the Barcelona incident? 你们兄弟俩在经历去年那次严重的争吵事件後，曾经向彼此道过歉吗？ Liam: "Did I?" 我有吗？(ㄏㄡ\还要问哥哥哦;) Noel: "I think you may have, in your own little way. You certainly didn't say the word 'sorry'." 我想你也许有吧，不过是以你自己的方式， 你当然不会说出“对不起”这三个字罗。 Liam: "I let you back in the band again! That was the best apology. Heh heh! Shit happens, man. You're certainly not gonna fooking split up over an argument. There's too much at stake." 我(大人有大量)让你(悔过自新)回到团里ㄋㄟ！那不就是最好的道歉了吗？嘿嘿！ 鸟事总会发生的嘛，老兄，所以当然不能让一场争吵就他妈的毁掉整个团啊。 唉一言难尽吧。 Q: Your drinking nearly split the band up. 你酗酒的习惯差点让整个团解散吧？ Liam: "Completely. But that's the good thing, y'see, it didn't. And now we're stronger than what we've ever been." 没错。但现在想起来这倒不失为件好事，正因为经历了那麽严重的考验而 我们并没有因此解散，所以现在整个团比起以前更为坚强了。 Q: Was that as bad as it ever got? 那真是有史以来最糟的情况吗？ Together: "Yeah." 异口同声： 对。 Q: Well there's only one way to go from there…… Liam: "Which way's that?" Noel: "Back to the bar." (ㄟ抱歉清搞不清楚他们这段在玩什麽迂回的文字游戏:p) This October, Oasis play their first nationwide British tour since 1995, celebrating ten years of spectacular survival since their very first show at ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the Manchester Boardwalk on August 18th 1991, the day Noel was in the audience when a metaphorical lightbulb exploded over his head. 这一次的十年纪念演唱会其实并非从 '94 年出道开始算起， 而是从 Oasis 这个团 1991 年 8 月 18 日 的第一次演出来算的。 呵当时 Noel 还不是正式的团员哦，坐在台下看弟弟的团， 脑中却已经迸发无限的想像和可能。 "There's no significance attached to it," Noel's saying, on the B&H, "other than the fact we're celebrating. We're our own biggest fans anyway and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ we're going on the road to celebrate the fact that (grins head off) we're fucking mega." 啊啊啊好喜欢这一段哦^^ 头子说当初会拼命抽 Benson & Hedges 并不是上瘾，而是想狂欢庆祝， “反正我们是自己最大的歌迷嘛，而且刚好又有机会上路巡回去庆祝证明一个事实 (说到这里 Noel 露出不能自己的大笑)──我们真是他妈的红耶。 What will they look like, these days, your fans? "What will they look like?" baulks Liam, bolting upright, also on Noel's B&H. "Fooking fans, man! You're making out like we're fooking 80! They'll be cool ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ man, like they always were. Some of 'em might have a couple of fooking kids, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ who gives a fook, man? You can still be cool with kids and you can still be cool when you're fooking 50; I don't give a shit. I tell you what: I hope hardly any celebrities turn up, cos I give a shit, knowhatImean? I don't want all the so-called cool people backstage at our gigs cos they're all fooking knobs." 记者要求 Liam 想像一下他们这些日子来的歌迷是什麽样子的？ 结果 Liam 说你嘛卡拜托咧，问得好像我们已经老得必须重新定位我们的歌迷群， 反正他觉得从始至今到未来歌迷都是酷的， 即使有了小孩还在听 Oasis 的歌(NoelRock 就有人是如此哦;)， 也可以是很酷的事。 Q: There's a fear you're becoming this generation's Rolling Stones - an endless nostalgia machine. 恐怕也许你们会成为这个世代的“滚石合唱团” ── 一个永无止尽对摇滚乐怀旧因而不断巡回演唱的机器。 (请每个 mate 仔细看以下 Liam 回答的每一个字，然後为他起立鼓掌欢呼 30 秒！) 我他妈的在计中电脑前快感动的崩溃了^-^~) Liam: "Nah nah nah! There's none of that, man! Right? Cos the thing is, what d'you do? D'you split up? What's the point of splitting up? I'm not splitting up because some cunt don't like it! No-one can turn round to me and say I'm not into it. I'm bang into it and he's the same. There's no way I'll be turning like the fooking Rolling Stones. I don't go on the road to make money - it just so happens we do - but I go on the road to have a laugh an' play me rock'n'roll and that's the fooking end of it, and if anyone tries to tell me any different they're off their fooking tits. I don't wanna be the biggest band in the world any more, I wanna be the best. And we are the fooking best and I truly believe that. He's the best songwriter in the world, end of story and that's all that I can say….. So I'll see you all later (gets up, semi-grins, bowls towards fridge, finds some water, bowls back, sits down again)!" 不不不！不可能会发生那种事的，老兄！对吧！因为事实是， 不然你要干嘛啊？你会选择解散吗？解散的话又有什麽意义呢？ 我不会解散我的团只因为一些混蛋说他们不喜欢我们的东西！ 没有人可以告诉我我不投入这个团。我正玩得起劲呢而他(Noel)也是。 我绝不可能会变得像他妈的“滚石”。我巡回演唱并不是为了赚大钱── 只是刚好我们的确赚钱── 但是我上路是为了其中的乐趣和演唱我(心爱)的摇滚乐， 就是他妈的如此。如果任何人有异议，他们就是他妈的欠揍。 我不再想当全世界最红(biggest 有点难翻:p)的乐团，我只想当最棒的。 而我们是他妈的最棒，我真的如此相信着。他(Noel)也是全世界最棒的写歌人， 就是如此，那是我所能说的...那就待会见罗﹝起身，露出半个贼笑，低身找冰箱， 拿了些水，回过身，再度坐下﹞！ To be continued 待续... -- Thou shalt not play Oasis quietly EVER! 你们应当绝不安静小声的播放 Oasis 的歌！ (因此造就我现在有点重听的耳朵:p) --NoelRock. 10 Commandments of Oasis --
