“The Music That Changed My Life – Red Hot Chili Peppers”
25th Anniversary Collector’s Edition.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
THE FUNKY MONKS. DRIVEN BY SONGS ABOUT ROLLER SKATES AND GRUB WORMS.
How are you, how’s your day been?
Anthony Kiedis: Y’know, I’m very good. My day’s been great.
Chad Smith: It’s all good.
你好吗,今天过的如何?
AK: 我很好,我的天都很棒
CS: 一整天都很好
What was your first musical memory?
Josh Klinghoffer: When I was five I got several cassettes of
The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Then, when I was eight, I got the Sex Pistols
’ Never Mind The Bollocks.
你对音乐的最初记忆?
JK: 我五岁时,我有好几卷披头四跟海滩男孩的卡带。然後我八岁时,我有
性手枪的"Never Mind The Bollocks"
Chad Smith: My brother’s record collection, when I was six or seven. He had
all the late-’60s/early-’70s English hard rock and blues bands like Humble
Pie, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream…That was a fertile period from
1969, when I was seven, to 1973. My brother played the guitar, and I’d
started to play the drums OK, so we began playing in a band together called…
Rocking Conspiracy! It was right around the time of Watergate and all that
shit – we were very controversial.
CS:我六、七岁时,哥哥有收集唱片,他有所有的六零年代晚期跟七零年代初期的
hard rock和蓝调乐团的唱片,像是Humble Pie、皇后、齐柏林飞船、深紫色、
Cream...等。从1969年开始被灌溉,直到1973年,我七岁时,我哥哥开始学吉
他,然後我开始学鼓,然後我们组了一个乐团叫做"Rocking Conspiracy"!大
概是水门案那段时间,我们极具争议性。
What was the first record you bought?
Flea: Satch Plays Fats – Louis Armstrong playing the
music of Fats Waller. [Sings] “All that meat and no potatoes/
Just ain’t right – like green tomatoes.”
你们买的第一张唱片?
F: "Satch Plays Fats",路易斯阿姆斯壮演奏Fats Waller的音乐。(然後唱了一段)
Chad Smith: A 45 called Groovy Grubworm by Harlow Wilcox & The Oakies. It was
an instrumental jam, and right in the middle it stopped and the guy went, “I
’m a grubworm!”
CS: 一张45转的唱片,Harlow Wilcox和The Oakies的"Groovy Grubworm"。有一段
本来乐器在jam,jam到一半停住,突然有个人唱'I'm a grubworm!'
Anthony Kiedis: Neil Young, Heart Of Gold. I lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In its own special way I guess it did shape me a little bit. It wasn’t like
I ever wanted to emulate that sound, but it just was a song that got to me.
The other one was Melanie’s Brand New Key -I bought them on the same day.
AK: Neil Young的"Heart Of Gold"。我住在密西根的Grand Rapids,所以我想这有
点形塑了我的性格。并不是说我想模仿,那首歌就是戳中我了。另一张是Melanie
的"Brand New Key",我都是同一天买的。
(记得好清楚,我完全想不出我花钱买的第一张唱片是啥XDD)
Where do you go from Neil Young and Brand New Key?
Anthony Kiedis: See, most of the music I listened to from five till 11 was AM
Radio. I lived with my mom. She played Carole King, which spoke to me. I also
have a memory of being profoundly affected by Edgar Winter’s Frankenstein –
my radio went off in the middle of the night and it was playing. The other
thing I heard was Wings. I loved them: I didn’t know anything about the
history or the politics of The Beatles, and I wasn’t cool enough to
gravitate towards John Lennon.
Even now that first Wings record [1971’s Wild Life] slays me.
你的涉猎范围怎麽会从Neil Young跳到"Brand New Key"?
AK: 因为从我5岁到11岁这段期间,我都是从电台听音乐的。当时我跟我妈住。
她会听Carole King,那也有影响到我。然後我也记得Edgar Winter的
"Frankenstein"影响我很深。电台半夜结束时正好在播这首歌。然後我也听
Wings,我爱他们。我对披头四一点都不了解,约翰蓝侬对我也没有吸引力。
即使是现在,Wings的第一张专辑(1971年的"Wild Life")还是很触动我。
What was your first gig?
Chad Smith: Blue Oyster Cult at Pine Knob Music Centre, Detroit, 1975. The
reason I went was that Kiss were supposed to open for them and I was obsessed
with Kiss when I was 13. Anyway, they cancelled – Gene Simmons had a herpes
outbreak or something. So Michael Quatro, Suzi Quatro’s elder brother,
opened the gig. I actually ended up playing drums with that guy.
你们去的第一场演唱会?
CS: 1975年,底特律,Blue Oyster Cult在Pine Knob Music Centre那场。
我之所以会去是因为Kiss本来要帮他们暖场,我当时13岁,我超爱Kiss。
总之,最後取消了。好像是Gene Simmons长疱疹还是怎样的。
於是由Suzi Quatro的哥哥Michael Quatro暖场。
事实是,我最後还是跟这些人一起玩鼓了。
Who was your first inspiration?
Anthony Kiedis: It wasn’t one single person. Iggy Pop, David Bowie. I saw a
Bowie concert in the early ’70s that was absolutely magical. I never wanted
to be like him but I was in love with what he was doing. I actually didn’t
feel like making music until the early ’80s when I started listening to some
hardcore funk records that were coming out by bands like Defunkt and
Grandmaster Mash And The Furious Five. That’s when it dawned on me that I
might be able to do that – particularly when I heard Grandmaster Flash.
谁是你的第一位启发者?
AK: 不只一人,像是Iggy Pop、大卫鲍伊都是。我在70年代初时,去看过一场
鲍伊的演唱会,实在是相当魔幻。我不会像要像他一样,但我确实很爱他
所做的一切。而且,直到80年代初期以前,我都不觉得我想做音乐,直到
我开始听一些hardcore funk的唱片,像是Defunkt以及Grandmaster Mash
And The Furious Five。才真的让我觉得,这或许是我想做的事,尤其是
当我听到Grandmaster Mash的时候。
What’s the most embarrassing record you own?
Chad Smith: Tainted Love by Soft Cell. I like some pretty sappy Chicago
songs, too.
你拥有觉得最羞於启齿的唱片?
CS: Soft Cell的"Tainted Love"。我也是很喜欢动人芝加哥歌曲的。
And the record you couldn’t be without?
Josh Klinghoffer: At this point I’ve determined that Veedon Fleece by Van
Morrison is my favourite record of all time. I love it from start to finish;
it’s perfect.
你不能失去的唱片?
JF: 现在的话我觉得是Van Morrison的"Veedon Fleece",是我一直都很喜欢的唱片。
每一首歌我都爱,太完美了。
Last time a piece of music reduced you to tears?
Flea: It was about a month ago. I was walking along the beach at Big Sur
listening to the Ruff Draft EP by [late Detroit rapper/producer] J Dilla. It
was a really powerful experience – so beautiful it made me cry.
最近让你落泪的音乐?
F: 大概是一个月以前吧,我走在Big Sur的沙滩上,听着J Dilla的"Ruff Draft EP"。
那个感受很强烈,太美了,也让我哭了。
What is your karaoke song of choice?
Josh Klinghoffer: Oh! Give It Away… by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
唱卡拉OK时的选歌?
JK: 喔!"Give It Away",呛辣红椒的。
(噗,好吧,我很好奇Josh唱这首歌的样子 XDD)
One lyric you wish you’d written?
Anthony Kiedis: God, there’s about 500. I can listen to any Bob Dylan record
and go, “I wish I had that ability to talk about life in the way he did.”
He and his predecessors – like Woody Guthrie. Early rappers like NWA – not
that I can relate to their common experience; I just like their honesty.
你最想写出来的歌词?
AK: 天啊,大概有五百首吧。我会听着巴布狄伦的唱片然後想说:
「我真希望能像他一样,用这种方式阐述人生。」像他跟他的前辈,
像是Woody Guthrie。早期的饶舌歌手NWA,不是说我能投射到他们的经历,
我只是很欣赏他们的诚实。
What’s your favourite record of the past 25 years?
Chad Smith: I really liked Guns N’ Roses Appetite For Destruction. Right
when I moved out here to California, they were just starting to blow up. I
would go to clubs on the Sunset Strip and see Axl Rose and Slash hanging out.
I liked their whole refreshing attitude. John Frusciante loved that record,
too, so we were able to bond over it.
过去25年以来,你最喜欢的专辑?
CS: 我真的很爱枪与玫瑰的"毁灭慾"。就在我刚搬到加州时,他们正是大放异彩的时候。
我当时会去Sunset Strip上的俱乐部,去看Axl Rose和Slash他们出来玩。
我喜欢他们耳目一新的态度。John也很爱那张专辑,这是我们的连结。
And what song will be playing at your funeral?
Flea: I’ve always said in the past that Bold As Love by Jimi
Hendrix would be the song. But of late I’ve been having a few other thoughts
… something by [bebop-era jazz singer] Babs Gonzales And His Three Bips And
A Bop would be great.
你想在你的葬礼上播什麽歌?
F: 以前我总是回答Jimi Hendrix的"Bold As Love"。但是最近我有不同的想法,
或许是Babs Gonzales,跟他的团Three Bips and a Bop之类的,我想会很棒。
