重點：紅椒們確定明年夏天會巡演！新專輯發行日期依舊未定。XD 來源：http://ppt.cc/NKFE How are things with the Peppers? 紅椒們最近如何？ "Things are good. Very good. We've cut a bunch of songs, so we're probably halfway through the record. I think we've tracked about 20 songs already, and there's a few more left to do. Then we'll whittle them down to make the best record. We always cut a lot of songs and see which ones rise and which ones fall - that's just how we like to work. But the new one won't be a double album like Stadium Arcadium, I can tell you that." 一切都好，非常好。我們剪輯了不少首歌，專輯錄製已經進行一半了。 大概錄了有20首歌吧，還有幾首要錄製。然後我們就會篩選做成最棒的專輯。 我們一向會挑歌，哪幾首出線、哪幾首落選，我們是這樣做事的。 不過新專輯並不會像【星戰競技場】一樣是雙CD，這我可以先透露。 Do things feel any different with Josh Klinghoffer? How's he working out? 跟Josh合作有什麼不同？他表現如何？ "Things are a bit different. You know, he's a different guy. But he's doing great. He's got a terrific sound, he's very musical, he's full of idea - we're enjoying working with him. Things are coming along pretty easily, so that's always a good sign. I've been playing with him for over a year now, so it's feeling very natural. 是有些不同，你也知道，他畢竟是另一個人。 但他表現很好。他有很棒的嗓音，也很有音樂天份，很多靈感，我們很享受跟他合作。 所以錄製工作進行起來容易多了，這絕對是好徵兆。 我已經和他合作超過一年，所以感覺是很自然的。 "What I'm really liking about Josh is how multi-talented he is. He plays guitar, bass, piano, drums, he sings…We've been very fortunate to have him come into our fold and help inspire us to try some new things." 我最欣賞Josh的是他是如此得多才多藝。 他會彈奏吉他、貝斯、鋼琴，打鼓，甚至唱歌。 我們很幸運有他加入我們的團隊，啟發我們嘗試新東西。 Is his guitar sound radically different from John Frusciante's? 他的吉他風格與John大相逕庭嗎？ "I wouldn't say it's radically different. Josh is just Josh. He has his own thing, and that's why we love him. The sounds he comes up with are very pleasing to my ears, and I'm pretty sure they will be to everybody else once they hear him on this record." 我不會說是大相逕庭。但Josh就是Josh。他有他的東西，所以我們才愛他。 他彈出來的節奏對我而言很好聽，我也肯定所有人會從這張專輯認識他。 If the Chili Peppers have dates booked for next summer, I would assume that you'd want the album out by then. 如果紅椒已經預訂明天夏天做巡迴，我想新專輯會在之前發行吧。 "That would be nice. We probably have three to four more weeks left for cutting basic tracks. Then we'll start doing overdubs - guitars, vocals, all the other things that go on a record. After that, there might be a couple of things to do in January. Or we could start mixing - and as you know, that can take some time. I'm just projecting and guessing, but I would say we'd like to try to deliver the album in March. We're definitely hoping to have it out by next summer. It's been a long time in coming." 那樣是最好的。我們大概還需要三至四星期做一些基本剪輯。 然後就會開始作吉他、人聲的疊錄等等。 接著在一月，我們還有一些事情要做。像是混音，你也知道這需要一些時間。 我只能猜想，但不能肯定我們可以在明年三月發行。 我們當然希望可以在明年夏天發行。時間還很長。 On page four, Chad also says the following... 訪談的第四頁中提到... "The Peppers have festival dates booked for the summer of 2011 already , so I can't play in both bands next year." 紅椒們已經預定在2011年的夏天做巡演，所以我(Chad)沒辦法同時兼顧兩團。 P.S. 這邊說的另一團是Chickenfoot，日前已經找了Tommy Lee幫Chad代打。 --
