一个多月前的旧文了，一直积着没看也没翻 (汗) 扫图 http://ppt.cc/I8E9 Next year, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will turn 30 – but they’re celebrating a little early: On March 29th, they kick off a 25-city U.S. arena run in support of their 10th Album, I’m With You – their first with new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. (The tour was postponed from January due to singer Anthony Kiedis’ foot injury.) And on April 14th, bassist Flea Michael Balzary, Anthony Kiedis and drummer Chad Smith will hit Cleveland to join the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “I’m excited, says Flea, checking in before a show in Barcelona. “It’s going to be a really cool, special night.” 明年，呛辣红椒即将届满30岁，但他们稍为提早一些庆祝了。 3/29开始他们将要带着新任吉他手Josh， 巡回全美25个城市宣传最新专辑"I’m With You" (巡回因为AK的脚伤而自一月开始延期) 而在4/14，贝斯手Flea、AK与鼓手Chad，将要冲击克里夫兰， 他们即将成为摇滚名人堂的一员。 「我很兴奋。」在巴塞隆纳演出前的访问中，Flea如是说。 「那一定会是一个既酷又特别的夜晚。」 After that, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will get back to rocking stadiums on a summer tour of Europe. “It took us a while to get solid with Josh Klinghoffer – there’s so much improvisation in our band that it’s like establishing a new vernacular,” says Flea. “But we’re fucking on fire, man! ” 在摇滚名人堂庆典之後，红椒们将回到欧洲继续巡回。 「我们花了一些时间跟Josh磨合，因为我们有很多即兴创作， 就好像重新建立一个新的方言。」Flea说 「但我们现在可是充满力量！」 You’re a maniac onstage. How will you come down after tonight’s show? 你在舞台上总是很疯狂。今晚的演出结束後你会做些什麽？ I have my rituals. After I walk offstage, I’ll go to the dressing room and meditate. Then I’ll eat, go to back to my hotel and go on a 3 a.m. hour long walk through Barcelona. Then I hit the hay. I used to panic on tour, lose it and fall apart and crumble, but now I have it down to a science. 我有我的流程。在我步下舞台後，我会会到休息室沉思。然後吃东西， 走在巴塞隆纳的街头回到饭店，然後上床睡觉。 我以前巡回时总是很恐慌，很容易崩溃，但现在我有一套科学的方法。 How’d you find out about RHCP’s Hall of Fame induction? 你是怎麽获知呛辣红椒进入了摇滚名人堂？ I got a text from Chad saying, “Congratulations.” As the days have gone by, it feels more and more beautiful. Yesterday I was talking to [former RHCP drummer] Jack Irons, who sat next to me in sixth grade and will go in with us as a founding member. And I think about [former guitarist] John Frusciante and everything he gave us, and our old manager, Lindy Getz, who drove the van all night when we were sleeping in shitty motels. I never reflect on anything, but it’s really emotional. 我收到一封来自Chad的简讯，上面说：「恭喜」 然後随着每一天的过去，这件事变得越来越美好。 昨天我还跟Jack Irons聊天，他六年级时坐在我隔壁， 然後将要以创团团员的身分与我们一起进入HOF。 然後我想到John Frusciante，以及他带给我们的一切； 还有我们的前经纪人Lindy Getz，当我们在破烂的汽车旅馆过夜时， 他则是开了整晚的车。 我很少反思过任何事情，但这件事真的很感人。 Anthony Kiedis said the most emotional part was remembering RHCP’s late guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988. AK曾说，这件事最感伤的部份就是想起了早逝的前吉他手Hillel Slovak。 他於1988年过世。 I never would’ve played bass if not for Hillel. I was a jazz trumpet player, and he said, “Dude! You should learn how to play bass and be in my band. “ Two weeks later, we were onstage at the Troubadour. Anthony Kiedis, Hillel Slovak and I raised each other, and they schooled me on Zeppelin and Hendrix. Hillel really loved rock & roll. He lived for it, so going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame would have been a dream. To share this moment with him in the spirit world is sad and tragic, but also beautiful. 如果不是因为Hillel，我绝对不会开始弹贝斯。我曾经是爵士小喇叭手，然後他说： 「老兄！你应该来我的乐团弹贝斯！」两个星期後，我们就在Troubadour登台。 AK、Hillel Slovak和我彼此扶植，他们教我Zeppelin 以及 Hendrix。 Hillel真的很爱摇滚乐。 他为此而生，所以能够进入摇滚名人堂绝对是他的梦想。 只能以这种形式与他共享这个荣耀的时刻，让人很感伤，但也很美好。 The induction is also a testament to your enduring partnership with Anthony Kiedis. 这个荣耀也是你与AK长年友谊的证明。 We have inspired each other and competed with each other and loved each other over the years. He probably doesn’t remember this, but one time when we were 15, I had these goofy clothes on that my mom bought me at Sears, and I said to Anthony, “Do I look cool?” He said, “Yeah – but anyone could wear that. You’re a unique person. You should wear shit that feels like something that only you wear.” It might sound small, but that moment informed me as a musician. I needed to do what felt beautiful to me. 我们互相启发、相互竞争也深爱彼此。他大概不记得这件事，但有一次， 我们15岁的时候，我穿了一件我妈买给我的蠢衣服，我问AK说： 「我看起来酷吗？」 他说：「还可以啦，但其他人也能这样穿。你很独特。 你应该要穿那种只有你能穿的衣服。」 听起来像是小事，但那一刻启发我让我想当个音乐人。 我需要做些让我觉得美好的事。 I’ve heard you collect books. What kind of stuff? 我听说你现在在收集书。都是哪些类型？ Since I was seven, as soon as I finished one I’d pick up the next – book after book, non-stop. I have lots of books. As far as first editions, my heavy hitters are William Burroughs’ Junky, Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Salinger ’s The Catcher in the Rye. 从我七岁开始，只要我看完一本书，我就会马上接着看下一本，停不下来。 我有不少书。像是初版的William Burroughs的"Junky"、Bronte的"Jane Eyre"， 以及Salinger的"The Catcher in the Rye"。 When did you get that tattoo of Jimi Hendrix on your left bicep? 你是什麽时候刺了二头肌上的Jimi Hendrix刺青？ It was 1981, and everyone was talking about this great tattoo artist intown. I was probably smoking a joint and said, “I want a Hendrix tattoo!” I remember afterward my mom or my stepdad said to me, “Do you know the psychological implications of tattoos as your life goes on?” [Laughs] 在1981年的时候，镇上有个大家都在谈论的超棒刺青师傅。 我当时大概抽了大麻，然後说：「我要一个Jimi Hendrix的刺青！」 之後我妈跟我继父对我说： 「你知道刺青是一种心理暗示，暗示着你以後的人生吗？」(笑) Have you figured out your Hall of Fame speech? 你想好摇滚名人堂上的演说要说什麽了吗？ No idea. I inducted Metallica [in 2009], and that might have been long-winded. It’s cool that we’re going in there with friends like the Beastie Boys and Guns n’ Roses, who came up with us in L.A. Steven Adler and I played football in the street when we were 12. I remember rehearsing in my bedroom with my first band, and some kid climbed over the fence of my backyard and peeked his head in the window to see who was rocking. It was Slash. 不知道。我之前当过Metallica的介绍人，那似乎有点太冗长了。 可以和朋友，像是Beastie Boys和Guns n’ Roses一起进入是很酷的事， 他们都跟我们一样来自LA。 12岁时，我还跟Steven Adler一起在街上踢过足球。 我还记得我和我的乐团在我的房间排练时，有个小孩翻过我家後院的围墙， 然後在窗边偷看，想看是谁在演奏。那个小孩就是Slash。 You’re turning 50 in October. How do you plan to celebrate? 你十月就要50岁了。你打算怎麽庆祝？ On acid, running down the street, naked, howling at the moon. 喀药、在街上裸奔、对月亮嚎叫。 --
