They re-emerged into the smoggy Hollywood sunlight some months later with one of the seminal albums of the Alternative Nineties in the can. Those four young men were collectively known as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the album they made in the famed magician’s house, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. 九零年代初期，四個年輕人來到了坐落在洛杉磯Laurel Canyon大道上，老舊且據稱鬧鬼的Harry Houdini大宅。幾個月後他們交出了當年另類搖滾史上最具代表性的專輯之一。這四人就是為人熟知的嗆辣紅椒，而他們在這間奇幻大宅中製作的專輯【血糖性魅】，今年正好是20周年。 “With that album, we really grew into being the band that we always wanted to be,” Flea says. “It was like we took what was great about us and just gave a lot more depth to the instruments and structure. The album really captured a space and a time that was exciting and fun.” Flea說：「在這張專輯中，我們真的變成了我們一直盼望成為的樣子。我們呈現了我們最棒的一面，然後在樂器與結構上深掘。這張專輯真的捕捉了當年的氛圍，很刺激很有趣。」 The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the band’ s second record with John Frusciante, who was the third major RHCP guitarist. (Fifth, if you count the fleeting tenures of Blackbird McKnight and Jack Sherman.) Frusciante had played on the previous Red Hot Chili Peppers album, Mother’s Milk, but was new to the band at the time and hadn’t quite found his footing. When sessions for Blood Sugar Sex Magik rolled around, however, he had grown confident enough to express his own mercurial personality through the band’s music. “John was really coming into his own as an artist at that time with us,” Flea says. 紅椒們的第五張專輯【血糖性魅】，也是第二張John參與製作的專輯，他是紅椒中第三任吉他手(或是第五任，如果你把Blackbird McKnight以及Jack Sherman也算進去的話。 )John在前一張的【母奶】專輯中便已經參與其中，然而當時他還未站穩腳步。到了【血糖性魅】時期，他則已經具有足夠的自信，去表達自己對於專輯製作的意見。Flea說：「John當時真的變身成一個獨立的藝術家。」 Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ first album for Warner Bros. Records (they’d previously recorded for EMI), and it was their first project with Rick Rubin. A bearded mountain of a man, and something of a guru figure, Rubin earned the band’s trust enough to help them shape songs and arrangements. It was the start of a fruitful creative partnership that continues to this day. 而【血糖性魅】也是他們由華納發行的第一章專輯(之前都是EMI)，也是他們第一次與 Rick Rubin合作。一個鬍鬚大叔，彷彿宗師形像般的，他得到了樂團的信任，以幫助他們形塑專輯，便開啟了延續至今的創作夥伴關係。 “It’s a trip to see how much Rick Rubin has changed from that point in time, ” Anthony Kiedis says. “Back then, he was just discovering the spiritual path. He’s very non-judgmental. When an evil bastard walks in the room, Rick Rubin doesn’t look on them like an evil bastard; he thinks, Well, maybe there ’s something good about that person. So he’s an interesting guy, and these days he’s in ridiculously good physical shape and health. A year and a half ago he just started exercising and eating smart. And now he’s this glowing Neptune of a person you find walking down the beach with some lovely Colombian girl. He’s just a different cat than he was 20 years ago. But at his core, he’s still a lover of music more than anything.” AK說：「你可以看見Rick Rubin這些年的改變。在以前，他很注重心靈層面的追尋。他也非常客觀。他完全不會把一個邪惡的渾球當邪惡的渾球看。他會覺得，這個人或許還是有其他優點。所以他是個很有意思的人，而這些年他的體態和健康都好得離譜。一年半前，他開始健身跟節食。你現在可以看到他在海邊跟可愛的哥倫比亞女孩廝混。他比起20年前真的不一樣了。但是他依舊是個熱愛音樂勝過其他一切的人。」 Blood Sugar Sex Magik was phenomenally well received upon its September 24, 1991, release. Yielding a string of hit singles, including “Under the Bridge, ” “Give It Away,” “Suck My Kiss” and “Breaking the Girl,” the album kicked the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ career into a new dimension. It continues to be a favorite today and has sold more than 17 million copies. 【血糖性魅】於1991年9月24日發行。帶來了多支熱門單曲，像是“Under the Bridge,” “Give It Away,” “Suck My Kiss” 與 “Breaking the Girl”，這張專輯為紅椒們的事業開啟新的一頁。至今它仍是深受喜愛的專輯，而且銷售成績累積到一千七百萬張。 “It’s tricky to think that 20 years have passed,” Anthony Kiedis says. “ When we play songs off Blood Sugar Sex Magik today, the last thing they feel is antiquated. I still have an absolute connection to playing those songs. It ’s not like I’m beating a dead horse when I play them. They’re still vibrant and connected to now, in some way. So I guess the album is holding up, standing the test of time.” AK說：「沒想到已經過了20年。即使我們現在演出【血糖性魅】中的曲目時，仍然不覺得過時。我對這些歌曲的連結還是很深的。所以演出這些歌並不是在炒冷飯。我還是感受得到其中的悸動與連結。所以我想這張專輯確實通過了時代的考驗。」(編按：沒錯！！) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 27.147.0.144 ※ 編輯: nosweating 來自: 27.147.0.144 (09/12 13:11)
