這是半夜從Mike 的MY SPACE上看到的，因為當時PTT停電維護現在才PO，不過沒想到上面幾樓剛好有人PO 當時的採訪影片，蠻有趣的:) Wednesday, October 24, 2007 hybrid theory anniversary it's very strange to think that it was seven years ago today that hybrid theory, our first album on a major label, was finally in stores. we were in seattle to play a show, and i was driving our RV with a trailer full of our gear behind it. we didn't have any crew to help us move, setup, or tune our gear--we were doing everything ourselves. we were all pretty tired, and we hit seattle around midnight. i was racing to try to get to the (now extinct) tower records just before the clock struck 12 so they would let us in to buy our album. 只要回想到七年前的今天，我們第一張出道專輯Hybrid Theory終於上市就覺得很奇怪。當時我們在西雅圖表演，我開著我們牽著拖車的RV(旅遊車之類的)，拖車上載滿我們的行頭。我們沒有工作人員幫我們移動、架設或開車，我們一切親力親為。我們都很累了，而到達西雅圖時已是半夜。我驅車想在半夜12點之前到達tower records(現在沒了)，才能讓我們在打烊之前進店買我們的專輯。 we got there at about 12:05, and the lights were still on in the record store. we jumped out and ran to the window, knocking and yelling. the kid who was closing up looked at us over his shoulder. we told him through the glass that we were a band in town to play a show, that our first CD just came out, and we were hoping he would open the door so we could buy a few copies. he said no, and turned around. 但我們12:05am才到，不過店內燈光還亮著。我們跳下車衝到窗戶邊，又敲又叫。正在關店的小伙子轉過頭來看我們，我們透過窗戶跟他說，我們是來城裡表演的樂團，我們第一張輯剛出來，我們希望他能開門讓我們買個幾張專輯。但他拒絕，就轉身而去。 it didn't matter. there is nothing that could have gotten us down that night. it didn't matter that we would have to wait until 10am the next day to buy the album, and it didn't matter that we were exhausted from non-stop shows for the past few months, starting in florida and working our way steadily across the states. we had invested everything we had into this process, and the release of the album felt like the pinnacle; we couldn't imagine anything better. 沒關係，那一晚沒有什麼事能擊倒我們；我們當時得等到隔天早上10點後才能買專輯無所謂；我們從過去幾個月前，從佛羅里達開始不間斷的表演，橫跨美國都累翻了，也無所謂。在這整個過程，我們已經投入所有的精力，光是專輯的發售感覺已經到達顛峰，我們沒辦法去想像更好的際遇。 in the days that followed, we drove our RV south, playing shows, trying to guess the first-week sales number. the low guess was a couple thousand. the highest bet was 12K. the following tuesday, we were told that we sold over 42,000. a few months later, it went gold. 接下來的幾天，我們開車往南，表演，試著猜測我們第一週的銷售額。最低是猜只有幾千張，最高則是有個一萬兩千張吧。隔週二，有人跟我們說，我們賣了超過四萬兩千張，再過幾個月，唱片已經進入黃金唱片了。 "diamond" is the highest category of RIAA sales certification, an award for U.S. sales in excess of 10 million copies of any album. hybrid theory went diamond in 2005. to this day, it still sells many thousands every week. 「鑽石唱片」，是RIAA美國音樂協會最高等級的銷售證明，代表專輯在美賣超過一千萬張的殊榮。而在2005年Hybrid Theory達到鑽石唱片，時至今日，此專輯每週仍賣出好幾千張。 at this point, linkin park has sold around 40 million albums around the world. that means we owe 40 million (plus) thank-yous, one to each one of you that has ever enjoyed one of our songs. i'm celebrating tonight in our fans' honor. 現在，Linkin Park已經在全世界賣出了約四千萬張，也代表我們欠各位四千萬句(可能以上)的感謝，應該要向你們曾經喜愛我們任何一首歌的人道謝。最後一句不會翻XD thank you, -m 過去的他們也是曾經苦過的Orz -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.129.145.57
