LPtime把這篇作為LP的biography 大概是最早最詳細的介紹很多內容跟之前Kerrang那篇重複不過六個人都有訪問到不像Kerrang只有訪問三個而且看的出Kerrang有些內容是根據這篇訪問寫的節錄一些沒有重複的因為原文爆長啦...有興趣看原文的請看下面網頁 http://lptimes.com/article/RS_031402.html 是滾石雜誌當年的介紹 Farrell, 25, turns to Hahn in mild surprise. "I don't know if you remember this," the bassist says, "but three or four years ago, we asked ourselves, like every other band, 'What do we want out of this?' We all went home and wrote down goals. Mike came back with his list of goals, and one of them was 'I want to win a Grammy.' We were like, 'Wow, that's crazy. It's cool, but it's crazy.' " 鳳凰兄問JOE不知道你還記不記得大概三四年前我們問自己的目標然後大家回家寫下來 Mike寫了一堆其中一個寫說要得葛來美我們想天阿這很棒但太瘋狂了 Bennington, who had already done hard time with a Phoenix band called Grey Daze, is a charming mix of bull-elephant certainty and childlike astonishment. Before Hybrid Theory's release, he made a bet with Myra Simpson, national promotions manager at Warner Bros. "She had a triple-platinum Stone Temple Pilots plaque," says Bennington, a huge STP fan. "She said, 'If you go gold by Christmas, I'll give it to you.' I said, 'Cough it up.' " He laughs. "I was joking." Sure enough, Hybrid Theory was gold by Christmas 2000. "And I got my STP plaque," Bennington says, beaming. He slept with it in his bunk on the tour bus every night. "Nobody touched it." 小查在HT發行前跟華納的全國的宣傳經理打了個賭小查是石廟嚮導的大FANS 那個經理有石廟嚮導的三白金紀念牌經理跟他說如果HT在2000年聖誕節賣超過50萬他就把那個送給小查當時小查開玩笑說你準備把那個從牆上拿下來吧沒想到真的賣超過50萬所以小查拿到了那個紀念牌每天晚上在巡迴巴士上都要抱著睡小查說:沒有人可以碰啦哈哈小查真可愛XDXD "I'll tell you the worst-case scenario." Shinoda, 25, "I'd do classes from nine to four, four to seven and seven to ten at night," he says over the swish of traffic from the Ventura Freeway half a block away. "I'd go from there to band practice in Hollywood for two or three hours, then all the way back to my parents' house and work on paintings until I couldn't do it anymore. Then I'd get up in the morning and do it all again. "A week could be awful," Shinoda goes on, "especially if we had a show on Friday. I'd try to get my friends to come, and they'd go, 'Screw you, I've got a triptych due on Monday. I can't get the second or third painting done if I go to your show.' " 我當時還在上大學要從九點上課到四點然後練團練兩三個小時然後回家畫畫寫作業然後第二天早上又要繼續做同樣的式這樣搞一個禮拜就夠慘尤其是如果我們星期五有演出的話那更慘了我會叫我朋友們來看演出他們就會跟我說喔喔我們禮拜一要交作業如果我們去看的話就來不及畫完原來MIKE工作狂能力是從大學就訓練出來的 Everyone in Linkin Park has a version of that story -- of balancing school, jobs and the DIY demands of being in an unsigned band. Bourdon, 23, waited tables, worked in a bowling alley and studied accounting at Santa Monica College. Hahn also attended Art Center, where he met Shinoda, but left after a year to be a freelance illustrator, designing monsters and robots for the movies. Delson split his time between UCLA (where he received a degree in mass communications), songwriting in Shinoda's bedroom and an internship at Zomba Music, where his boss was Jeff Blue. "Brad took in the entire atmosphere of what it takes to get an act signed," says Blue. "He helped me send out Macy Gray demos and set up her showcases." 每個團員都要在學校工作和練團找到平衡 Rob當時當服務生,在保齡球館工作還要同時在大學修會計的課程 Joe 一開始也在art school但後來休學去機器人設計 Brad在UCLA唸書同時當Zomba Music的Jeff Blue當實習生他必須幫忙送demos還有搭舞台等等 Undeterred by record-company apathy, Hybrid Theory used the word-of-mouth mechanics of hip-hop promotion to build an audience. Combining Internet savvy and snail mail, Hybrid Theory established their own street team: posting messages on other bands' Web sites to draw traffic to their own; uploading MP3s of their demos; and sending free T-shirts, stickers and tapes to people who responded. "They got so pissed off at the post office next to my old apartment," Bourdon says. "Priority Mail boxes are free, so I would take all of their boxes and run out of there. We would package the stuff in my apartment. My living room became a total mailroom. 他們靠網路宣傳上傳免費音樂或者寄免費衣服貼紙給大家搞的Brad家附近的郵局很不爽因為Priority Mail Box是不用錢的所以Brad就會把所有的盒子都搬走然後在家裡打包要寄的東西家裡都變成郵局了 On tour, Linkin Park travel in two buses: One is outfitted as a mobile studio for writing and recording; the other vehicle is a band-only, no-party zone. Alcohol, smoking and guests are prohibited; when Bennington brings Samantha on the road, they stay in the studio bus. 在巡迴一個是工作錄音的BUS 另一個是只有團員休息的禁菸毒品和酒謝絕訪客小查帶老婆去的時候就會待在工作的BUS裡 The same policy applies to the band's dressing room at shows. "We just like having a clean working environment," says Bourdon, who got "way into partying" at the end of high school but has been sober for five years. "We don't believe it's an industry standard -- to be a band on the road, partying and drunk. Would you go to work drunk every day?" 休息是也是禁煙酒的 ROB說我們希望有乾淨的工作環境 ROB說他高中時也很瘋狂但是他已經戒除這些東西五年了....= = 原來Rob也搞partying 我們不像其他團巡迴時總是partying 酗酒等等 Bennington did not just fall into stardom with Linkin Park. In L.A., he was essentially homeless for months, shuttling between friends' and relatives' sofas, as Samantha prepared to join him. Bennington even slept in his car, which was a piece of shit. "It wouldn't go over thirty-five miles an hour," he says. "Two lights were burned out. I had no money to replace them." During the Hybrid Theory sessions, Bennington bunked in the car when the studio closed for the night. After it reopened in the morning, he would crash on a couch inside until the rest of the band showed up for work. 小查當時無家可歸必須睡在時速只能看35mile的破車裡兩個車燈都壞了但沒錢修燈壞開這麼慢應該會被警察抓吧.... 錄HT的時候他就是錄完睡車上等第二天錄音室開了他在進去睡沙發等其他人來 "It was weird," Bennington recalls. "They're all best friends, and I was so focused on not going insane. When I would lose my mind, I couldn't lose it with them -- why would they want to put up with my ass? I didn't want them to think I had lead-singer's disease -- always unsatisfied with everything." 小查說:這實在是很詭異他們都已經是很好的朋友而我只能專注在別發瘋了每當我要抓狂時我要小心別把氣發在他們身上他們沒有義務忍受這些我可不想讓他們覺得我得了"主唱病" 好像對什麼事情都不滿意 "We each made our own sacrifices, but Chester's was unique," Delson admits. "Because he had so much to risk, he was extremely motivated. He would actually tell us, 'Guys, I don't think we're working hard enough.' " BRAD說:我們每個人都有所犧牲但是小查的犧牲是最大的他冒了太多的風險他其實應該可以告訴我們我不覺得我門下了足夠的努力 Bennington, the youngest of four children, was not always that way. "I was an ambivalent kid," he says. "I floated around, coasted through." When he was eleven, his mother, a nurse, and his father, a Phoenix police officer and detective for thirty years, split up. "It was just me and him for a long time," Bennington says of his dad, who worked for many years investigating child-sex crimes. "He was hardened by dealing with the shit of the world every day. So he brought a lot of that home. It was a very emotional situation." 小查父母在他13歲時離婚很長時間只有他跟他爸爸住他爸是從事兒童性侵害調查的警察每天看到這些悲慘的事情導致他爸爸情緒也很不好常常把這些情緒帶回家 ..............天阿他爸爸好慘! 每天調查這些結果自己兒子......... In Linkin Park's first interviews, Bennington alluded to periods of sexual abuse and drug use in his own past. He says he did so in defense of his lyrics: "It was like, 'There's a lot of songs about depression, fear and paranoia. Are you just making it up?' And I said no." When asked about those experiences now, Bennington speaks with wary candor, emphasizing hard lessons over prurient detail. "No one in my family molested me," he says firmly. "It was people who were around me. Coming from a broken home, it was easy to fall into thinking, 'This is OK.' " The abuse -- and that self-delusion -- lasted for about five years, into his early teens. LP第一次的訪問有人問過小查他是不是假裝寫出歌詞裡的害怕不安等他說並不是的也就是那次訪問他講到他過去悲慘的遭遇 "I was a lot more confident when I was high," he goes on. "I felt like I had more control over my environment when I was on hallucinogens or drinking." Bennington ended his romance with cocaine and methamphetamines before he met Samantha in 1996. But on tour with Linkin Park last fall, he hit a black patch of heavy drinking in which, he confesses, "I found myself not saying no to other things, things that would have made me another rock & roll cliche." The rest of the band felt the strain -- between shows, Bennington traveled by himself on the studio bus. 小查講到他自己為什麼會沉溺於毒品因為覺得對一切比較有掌控他原來96年已經戒了但是巡迴時他發現他自己很難對毒品酒精等說不所以巡迴他都自己待在另一個BUS "It's easy to fall into that thing -- 'poor, poor me,' " he says. "That's where songs like 'Crawling' come from: I can't take myself. But that song is about taking responsibility for your actions. I don't say 'you' at any point. It's about how I'm the reason that I feel this way. There's something inside me that pulls me down." " On January 2nd of this year, Bennington took his own advice and quit drinking. He is now totally clean. 其實crawling的歌詞就是在講這個~~~~~~~~~~~~~然後說他當時已經又戒了我只能說真的是碰過毒品就很容易再碰= = Mike你們給我盯緊一點 "We don't need a break," Bennington claims. "We've got three albums to do before we take a break. We just started." But he can't help thinking that too much has come too fast. "I'm kind of pissed off," he admits when pressed. "We have the Number One record of the year; we're nominated for all these Grammys. Why did it have to be the first record? Now every record we make is going to be compared to this. 小查對於第一張太成功其實有點火大因為以後所有做的專輯都會被拿來比較 "But we deserve it," he snaps excitedly. "Nothing was handed to us. Everything you see, we did. Every note of the music -- we wrote, practiced and performed it. Every piece of art you see, we designed it. When people said that nobody was going to get it, we said, 'You're f***ing wrong.' 但是他覺得這是他們應得的他們寫了所有的歌練習表演設計所有的東西每個人都說他們不會成功但他們證明其他人都錯了不負責隨意亂翻~~~~~~我也是有看請給推 ^ ^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 130.85.220.35
