Jorn Lande談論Masterplan的事~
as title....
有提到他離開的原因。XD
Holland's Lords of Metal e-zine recently conducted an interview with former
MASTERPLAN vocalist Jorn Lande. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Lords of Metal: A while back I was quite surprised by the announcement that
you left MASTERPLAN. Of course musical differences was given as the reason,
but can you be a bit more specific about the actual cause for the decision?
Jorn: Musical differences is part of the truth, there are in most cases
unofficial issues about somebody's departure from a band. The main reason for
me to leave MASTERPLAN was the fact that for the first two records all
material was written by Uli [Kusch, drums] and Roland [Grapow, guitar]. I
just got the tunes that they had written and had to add the melodies and
lyrics to it. I don't really like this situation, because for me this is not
a natural way of songwriting. I wanted to have a bigger contribution and try
to change the songwriting process into a band thing. As it became obvious
that this wouldn't change, I decided it was time to go and leave. Furthermore
I wanted to have less experimental and modern influences in the music and get
back to the more straightforward metal style. You know what they say:
sometimes less is more. These two things combined led to my decision to leave
MASTERPLAN.
Lords of Metal: In the past we've often seen you participating in a promising
band (like for instance BEYOND TWILIGHT and MILLENIUM) and leaving that band
after a very promising start. Are you such a difficult person or is this just
coincidental?
Jorn: Let me correct you on this, since I believe that only MASTERPLAN was a
promising band both from an artistic as well as a commercial standpoint. The
other bands were good, but they didn't sell any records. Take BEYOND TWILIGHT
as an example — there was no tour, no investments by the record company, no
real support in general. Therefore is was impossible for me to stay, because
I have to make a living from singing you know. Same story with ARK — great
band, 'Burn the Sun' was a great record, but we didn't get anywhere. There
were no actual results. So to answer your question, I'm not a difficult
person at all, I just need to provide a living for myself which makes it
sometimes impossible to stay in a band. I want and need to be productive.
Lords of Metal: Another collaboration which was very promising was the one
with Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X). What was the actual [impetus] to do
something together?
Jorn: The request came from Frontiers Records label boss Serafino, who
thought that a collaboration between the two of us would work out great and
it did. In fact, we are planning to release a second album around springtime
next year called "The Revenge". The new record will be mixed around Christmas
time, since we both just finished our vocal parts. It will be in the same
vein as "The Battle"; maybe a bit heavier. At the beginning Bob Catley of
MAGNUM was also considered to be one of the singers, but because of the
reunion of MAGNUM it didn't fit in his schedule.
Lords of Metal: Your solo career is the on that is showing the most
continuity of them all, having released already four records before these two
new ones. Is your solo career going to be the only direction that you will be
focussing on for the next period of are you still going to collaborate in a
band type of format?
Jorn: Of course you never know, but at this moment I'm not planning to start
a new band. The days of supergroups are over, so there is no use to try and
start up one any more. For the time being I will focus purely on the band
JORN. If an established band would ask me to be their vocalist, I might be
interested. That remains some kind of a secret dream for me.
Lords of Metal: Can you be more specific, which bands would be interesting
for you?
Jorn: That is a difficult question, but if I could sing in Ritchie
Blackmore's RAINBOW or BLACK SABBATH (from the Dio era) that would be
fantastic.
Lords of Metal: Personally I think your voice is best suited for the
WHITESNAKE, RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE songs, since you have a strong
resemblance with David Coverdale and Ronnie James Dio. What kind of material
is best suited for your voice in your opinion?
Jorn: I think that "On And On" [by MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP] is the best track
on the album [referring to the JORN album "Unlocking The Past" featuring
covers of hard rock classics — Ed.]. It's a great performance and I feel
that we made it a Jorn song. I believe it's more powerful than the original.
WHITESNAKE, RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE have been very important for me in
developing myself as a vocalist and I sung these songs quite a lot and so
they are very natural for me, which you can hear in my performance. I really
feel at ease with this kind of material.

是不愉快的創作經驗啊。
然後他就想離開。@@
Roland和Uli主導太多了。
不過最後的結果就是拆三團啊。:p
其實樂團間難免有這樣的問題啊。Orz
