A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
乐队
Band
I don't think that bands that make it on their first album are as strong as bands that don't: there is nowhere to go but down.
我不认为在他们的第一张专辑中获得成功的乐队会像那些没有获得成功的乐队一样强大:他们无处可去，只能走下坡路。
Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.
任何一支追逐它的乐队都是在对音乐做更多的破坏，而不是一个人在那里演奏他们真正的感觉。
We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!
我们喜欢亨德里克斯和奶油乐队，他们是当时最重的乐队。我们只是想比别人都重!
It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.
能够组建自己的乐队是一种解脱，因为我对所有这些我以前不想搞砸的美妙音乐都负有责任。
The band feels loose in all the right ways, and it's just so cool looking out and seeing all of these people that I haven't seen in a while.
这支乐队给人的感觉很放松，看着外面，看着这些我有段时间没见过的人，真是太酷了。
I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
然而，我去俱乐部不是为了炫耀和被人看到，当然也不是为了发表声明。我只想静静地看一支乐队。
When I was in Van Halen I was hitting notes that were out of my range. I never went for those registers before until Eddie pulled it out of me.
当我在范哈伦的时候，我弹的音符超出了我的能力范围。我从来没去找过那些收银机，直到艾迪把它从我身上拿出来。
And if you are playing in several meters at once, there has to be a - not a rigid - but there definitely has to be a reference to a common pulse in the band.
如果你同时演奏几米，必须有一个-不是刚性的-但一定要有一个参考在乐队中一个共同的脉冲。
You have Extreme and Van Halen and the history that I have with other people I played with. There are some effects that will hopefully break that stereotype.
你有极限和范海伦，还有我和其他人一起打球的历史。有一些效果有望打破这种刻板印象。
I was in a band in high school and college and I always had a love for music, but I didn't go to a conservatory or anything like that. I was fairly self-taught.
我在高中和大学的时候都是一个乐队的成员，我一直热爱音乐，但是我没有上过音乐学院之类的学校。我是自学成才的。
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。
It's not important to how the band functions or to what we do. That's just many people's opinions on what they see. A lot of people project stuff on you, but that's okay.
这对乐队如何运作或我们做什么并不重要。这只是很多人对他们所看到的东西的看法。很多人会把东西投射到你身上，但没关系。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I play Rock Band, which is Guitar Hero times ten. You can play with four people, so when you have parties, you have a real band. Nobody ever wants to sing, so I'm always the one throwing down on the mic.
我玩摇滚乐队，这是吉他英雄十倍。你可以和四个人一起玩，所以当你开派对的时候，你有一个真正的乐队。从来没有人想唱歌，所以我总是一个人把麦克风扔下去。
Being in a band turns you into a child and keeps you there.
加入一个乐队会让你变成一个孩子，让你留在那里。
We're not arrogant, we just believe we're the best band in the world.
我们不傲慢，我们只是相信我们是世界上最好的乐队。
In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill.
在一个运作良好的乐队里，每个人都有一定的角色要完成。
I got the whole band set up in the basement and we are jamming.
我把整个乐队都安排在地下室，我们在进行干扰。
The band's filter, but playing live is a lot of fun.
乐队的滤镜，但现场演奏很有趣。
