A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
乐队
Band
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
当人们来到这个节目，他们认为我们是一个传奇的乐队，因为他们听到我们在古典摇滚广播所有的时间。这是心理上的。没关系，我接受不了。
I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.
在我成长的过程中，我参加过很多狡猾的乐队，我总是幻想自己在乐队里。但是，你知道，我写音乐很烂。所以也许有一天我会扮演一个摇滚明星，或者朋克摇滚歌手。
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。
When it comes to the recording and writing, it's still mostly Mickey and I. But now there's this whole live entity that's a whole different thing, and it seems to be where we're gaining the most popularity.
在录音和写作方面，主要还是米奇和我。但现在，整个现场的情况完全不同了，这似乎是我们最受欢迎的地方。
A few years ago, one of our singles got beaten out by Better Than Ezra. The label could only have one band at a time being taken to the right people at radio, and they opted for Better Than Ezra instead of us. Who knows.
几年前，我们的一首单曲被比以斯拉更好的打败了。唱片公司每次只能有一个乐队被带到电台的正确的人那里，他们选择了比以斯拉更好的人，而不是我们。谁知道呢。
There was a stage when Balanchine and I didn't talk. I was trying to develop my classical technique as opposed to the fast-track technique that he was pushing. We were very quiet with each other. But after two years he saw what I was doing and sent messages through other people that, yes, this is good.
有一段时间，巴兰钦和我没有说话。我试图发展我的古典技巧，而不是他所提倡的快速技巧。我们彼此都很安静。但两年后，他看到我在做什么，就通过其他人发信息说，是的，这很好。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
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 broke up the band in the office in Gerrard Street.
我在杰拉德街的办公室解散了乐队。
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。
The Meatbats are a throwback band.
肉蝙蝠乐队是一支复古乐队。
Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays.
是的，但我不得不说:乐队将决定乐队在哪里演出。
We're a pop art band. Not a pop band.
我们是一个流行艺术乐队。不是流行乐队。
