Reports suggest he and his year-old New Power Party are likely to do well, with their policies of enhancing social freedom, advancing ecological issues and resisting the restrictive intentions of neighbouring China – which has Chthonic are banned from playing there. 林昶佐表示，1/16號的選舉後他所屬的時代力量政黨將全力以赴防止中共惡意干預台灣民主的行為，並努力維護台灣這個民主社會。 Their Taipei concert, attended by 20,000 fans and seen by hundreds of thousands, was partly funded by the band selling their stage gear. It was billed as “a concert to calm the soul and defend the nation.” It can be streamed in full below. 這場名為"鎮魂護國"的演唱會吸引了將近2萬名觀眾到場，而促成這場演唱會的經費來自歌迷們的募資活動。 Lim – a former chairman of Amnesty International in Taiwan – tells the Guardian: “It’s a show of how we support freedom of speech and to encourage our fans to all try their best over the coming year to change Taiwan for the better. There is a new political space and it will allow more and more young people to bring about real change. 林昶佐曾經擔任國際特赦組織台灣分會的會長，在一次與衛報的訪談中提到 "這是一場彰顯台灣言論自由的演唱會，我們鼓勵我們的歌迷以及更多的年輕人一起來改變台灣的政治現況" “They don’t necessarily want to be estranged from China, but they do want to exist as different entities. Four years ago, president Ma Ying-Jeou said he would never meet with the president of China. Then he is there, shaking his hand, and without any consideration of the people’s feelings. The people of Taiwan feel let down.” "台灣人不一定都這麼反中，但台灣人普遍共識很清楚表示台灣與中國是兩個不同的個體，台灣的馬英九總統在四年前曾經承諾過他不會在任內與中國領導人見面，但最後台灣總統卻還是開心的跑去跟對岸領導人握手，讓許多台灣人感到非常失望。" He says of the election: “This is the hard part – getting really involved and committing to that. But I have been very encouraged by fans and I felt I should do more than just protest, that I should enter the political process. 林昶佐接著談到了他的立委選情 : "真正進入體制內改革是很困難的一件事，但因為許多樂迷的鼓勵讓我投身這場選舉之中" “The band have been supportive. Perhaps less supportive when they realised the songwriting was drying up a bit, but supportive again when they felt that I might actually win.” "閃靈團員們一直都很支持我，當然除了我寫歌進度變慢了一點除外，重點是他們真心希望我能贏得這場選舉" Lim recently told TeamRock: “There are a lot of fans worried that if I get elected I won’t be able to tour as much. I will definitely continue to tour – probably not as extensively as before, but we’re still coming out with a new album next year. 林昶佐在接受TeamRock訪問中又說到: "很多樂迷擔心如果真的當選後閃靈將沒辦法做巡迴表演，我們是會減少巡迴的場次沒錯，閃靈會繼續活動，而且預計將在明年推出新專輯。" “I’m hoping it’ll be out by the end of the year. I have to get elected first and then we’ll rush to record it.” "我個人希望今年年底就能把這張專輯推出來，首先我要贏得選舉，然後加快錄音的速度" http://metalhammer.teamrock.com/news/2015-12-27/chthonic-black-sabbath-of-asia- http://goo.gl/myr0kM 註: METAL HAMMER是有三十年歷史的英國老牌搖滾/重金屬音樂雜誌 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.166.44.99 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1451829889.A.8B9.html ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ※ 轉錄者: DeathEraser (118.166.44.99), 01/03/2016 22:05:00
