A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
岩石
Rock
I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain.
我总是把所有的音箱都放满,因为摇滚乐应该放得很大声。同样,这也是你获得支持的方式。
All us Youngs could throw. I used to kill squirrels with a stone when I was a kid, and my granddad once killed a turkey buzzard on the fly with a rock.
我们这些年轻人都能扔。我小时候常常用石头打死松鼠,我爷爷有一次用石头在飞行中打死一只火鸡秃鹰。
I played Big Band jazz music. I wasn't into rock and roll. I was just there because it was a living. I surprised everyone. I'm still surprising people.
我演奏大乐队的爵士乐。我不喜欢摇滚乐。我去那里只是为了谋生。我惊讶的每个人。我仍然让人们感到惊讶。
A lot of punk rock is not going to be in the mainstream. It's below the radar. The beauty of it is that you're not supposed to always know. It's subterranean.
很多朋克摇滚不会成为主流。它在雷达的监视之下。它的美妙之处在于你不应该总是知道。这是地下。
It does matter that it's the Olympics. I just did it my way. I'm not a martyr, and I'm not a do-gooder. I just want to go out and rock. And man, I rocked here.
重要的是这是奥运会。我只是按我自己的方式做。我不是殉道者,也不是行善者。我只是想出去摇滚一下。伙计,我在这里摇来摇去。
It was the early days of Rock 'n' Roll in this country. We were all struggling to learn music, it might be Country, Jazz, Classical, Blues or even Rock 'n' Roll.
那是这个国家摇滚乐的早期。我们都在努力学习音乐,可能是乡村音乐、爵士乐、古典音乐、蓝调甚至摇滚乐。
Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band.
摇滚就是找到你自己。你不需要把乐器弹得很好。你只能勉强度日,你可以加入摇滚乐队。
I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really.
我一直喜欢流行音乐。对于前卫的摇滚场景有一点误解,因为我觉得我游错了方向,真的。
But I'd play on everything from pop records to a lot of the glam stuff to rock stuff to classical stuff. I used to get called to do all those things, it was great.
但是我可以演奏任何东西,从流行唱片到很多华丽的东西,从摇滚到古典音乐。我经常接到电话做这些事情,感觉很棒。
When we were first started we were doing a lot of Motown stuff, but actually playing it more in a rock way. Everybody in the band sang and we did a lot of harmonies.
当我们刚开始的时候,我们做了很多摩城的东西,但实际上更多的是用摇滚的方式来演奏。乐队里的每个人都唱歌,我们做了很多和声。
I don't limit my taste. There's some jazz that I like and there's some opera. I've been listening to what was essentially country music, but it crossed over to rock.
我不限制自己的品味。有我喜欢的爵士乐和歌剧。我一直在听本质上是乡村音乐的音乐,但它跨越了摇滚。
I think that pop, and to some extent rock, are like sport and fashion industry in that they're about the exuberance of youth. That's the sort of subliminal ideology.
我认为流行音乐,在某种程度上也可以说是摇滚,就像体育和时尚产业一样,都是关于年轻人的蓬勃发展。这是一种潜意识的意识形态。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
She is the rock 'n' roll queen. Weirdly enough, that is one of the things her reign will be remembered for. Queen Elizabeth I, we remember Raleigh; Queen Elizabeth II it's gonna be the Beatles.
她是摇滚皇后。奇怪的是,这也是她的统治将被铭记的事情之一。伊丽莎白一世女王,我们记得罗利;伊丽莎白二世女王将会是披头士。
I always want to rock.
我一直想摇滚。
Being a rock widow is not my job, so I would hire people to do it for me.
成为一个岩石寡妇不是我的工作,所以我会雇人来为我做这件事。
It often seemed like we had become a nation where the only heroes were rock singers and ball players and that there were no large men of probity who could be called upon for the task.
似乎我们的国家已经变成了一个只有摇滚歌手和棒球运动员为英雄的国家,没有一个正直的大个子可以被召唤来完成这项任务。
I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries.
我是岩石,我是岛屿。石头不会感到疼痛。一个岛屿从不哭泣。
I know some people will be surprised to hear it, but I've found that my music, whether its blues or rock, or whatever you want to call it, can be channeled into a positive direction that actually helps people.
我知道有些人听到它会感到惊讶,但我发现我的音乐,无论是蓝调还是摇滚,或者你想叫它什么,都可以引导到一个积极的方向,实际上可以帮助人们。
