RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS THE FUNKY MONKS. DRIVEN BY SONGS ABOUT ROLLER SKATES AND GRUB WORMS. How are you, how’s your day been? Anthony Kiedis: Y’know, I’m very good. My day’s been great. Chad Smith: It’s all good. 你好嗎，今天過的如何？ AK: 我很好，我的天都很棒 CS: 一整天都很好 What was your first musical memory? Josh Klinghoffer: When I was five I got several cassettes of The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Then, when I was eight, I got the Sex Pistols ’ Never Mind The Bollocks. 你對音樂的最初記憶？ JK: 我五歲時，我有好幾捲披頭四跟海灘男孩的卡帶。然後我八歲時，我有性手槍的"Never Mind The Bollocks" Chad Smith: My brother’s record collection, when I was six or seven. He had all the late-’60s/early-’70s English hard rock and blues bands like Humble Pie, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Cream…That was a fertile period from 1969, when I was seven, to 1973. My brother played the guitar, and I’d started to play the drums OK, so we began playing in a band together called… Rocking Conspiracy! It was right around the time of Watergate and all that shit – we were very controversial. CS:我六、七歲時，哥哥有收集唱片，他有所有的六零年代晚期跟七零年代初期的　 hard rock和藍調樂團的唱片，像是Humble Pie、皇后、齊柏林飛船、深紫色、 Cream...等。從1969年開始被灌溉，直到1973年，我七歲時，我哥哥開始學吉他，然後我開始學鼓，然後我們組了一個樂團叫做"Rocking Conspiracy"！大概是水門案那段時間，我們極具爭議性。 What was the first record you bought? Flea: Satch Plays Fats – Louis Armstrong playing the music of Fats Waller. [Sings] “All that meat and no potatoes/ Just ain’t right – like green tomatoes.” 你們買的第一張唱片？ F: "Satch Plays Fats"，路易斯阿姆斯壯演奏Fats Waller的音樂。(然後唱了一段) Chad Smith: A 45 called Groovy Grubworm by Harlow Wilcox & The Oakies. It was an instrumental jam, and right in the middle it stopped and the guy went, “I ’m a grubworm!” CS: 一張45轉的唱片，Harlow Wilcox和The Oakies的"Groovy Grubworm"。有一段本來樂器在jam，jam到一半停住，突然有個人唱'I'm a grubworm!' Anthony Kiedis: Neil Young, Heart Of Gold. I lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In its own special way I guess it did shape me a little bit. It wasn’t like I ever wanted to emulate that sound, but it just was a song that got to me. The other one was Melanie’s Brand New Key -I bought them on the same day. AK: Neil Young的"Heart Of Gold"。我住在密西根的Grand Rapids，所以我想這有點形塑了我的性格。並不是說我想模仿，那首歌就是戳中我了。另一張是Melanie 的"Brand New Key"，我都是同一天買的。 (記得好清楚，我完全想不出我花錢買的第一張唱片是啥XDD) Where do you go from Neil Young and Brand New Key? Anthony Kiedis: See, most of the music I listened to from five till 11 was AM Radio. I lived with my mom. She played Carole King, which spoke to me. I also have a memory of being profoundly affected by Edgar Winter’s Frankenstein – my radio went off in the middle of the night and it was playing. The other thing I heard was Wings. I loved them: I didn’t know anything about the history or the politics of The Beatles, and I wasn’t cool enough to gravitate towards John Lennon. Even now that first Wings record [1971’s Wild Life] slays me. 你的涉獵範圍怎麼會從Neil Young跳到"Brand New Key"？ AK: 因為從我5歲到11歲這段期間，我都是從電台聽音樂的。當時我跟我媽住。她會聽Carole King，那也有影響到我。然後我也記得Edgar Winter的 "Frankenstein"影響我很深。電台半夜結束時正好在播這首歌。然後我也聽 Wings，我愛他們。我對披頭四一點都不了解，約翰藍儂對我也沒有吸引力。即使是現在，Wings的第一張專輯(1971年的"Wild Life")還是很觸動我。 What was your first gig? Chad Smith: Blue Oyster Cult at Pine Knob Music Centre, Detroit, 1975. The reason I went was that Kiss were supposed to open for them and I was obsessed with Kiss when I was 13. Anyway, they cancelled – Gene Simmons had a herpes outbreak or something. So Michael Quatro, Suzi Quatro’s elder brother, opened the gig. I actually ended up playing drums with that guy. 你們去的第一場演唱會？ CS: 1975年，底特律，Blue Oyster Cult在Pine Knob Music Centre那場。我之所以會去是因為Kiss本來要幫他們暖場，我當時13歲，我超愛Kiss。總之，最後取消了。好像是Gene Simmons長皰疹還是怎樣的。於是由Suzi Quatro的哥哥Michael Quatro暖場。事實是，我最後還是跟這些人一起玩鼓了。 Who was your first inspiration? Anthony Kiedis: It wasn’t one single person. Iggy Pop, David Bowie. I saw a Bowie concert in the early ’70s that was absolutely magical. I never wanted to be like him but I was in love with what he was doing. I actually didn’t feel like making music until the early ’80s when I started listening to some hardcore funk records that were coming out by bands like Defunkt and Grandmaster Mash And The Furious Five. That’s when it dawned on me that I might be able to do that – particularly when I heard Grandmaster Flash. 誰是你的第一位啟發者？ AK: 不只一人，像是Iggy Pop、大衛鮑伊都是。我在70年代初時，去看過一場鮑伊的演唱會，實在是相當魔幻。我不會像要像他一樣，但我確實很愛他所做的一切。而且，直到80年代初期以前，我都不覺得我想做音樂，直到我開始聽一些hardcore funk的唱片，像是Defunkt以及Grandmaster Mash And The Furious Five。才真的讓我覺得，這或許是我想做的事，尤其是當我聽到Grandmaster Mash的時候。 What’s the most embarrassing record you own? Chad Smith: Tainted Love by Soft Cell. I like some pretty sappy Chicago songs, too. 你擁有覺得最羞於啟齒的唱片？ CS: Soft Cell的"Tainted Love"。我也是很喜歡動人芝加哥歌曲的。 And the record you couldn’t be without? Josh Klinghoffer: At this point I’ve determined that Veedon Fleece by Van Morrison is my favourite record of all time. I love it from start to finish; it’s perfect. 你不能失去的唱片？ JF: 現在的話我覺得是Van Morrison的"Veedon Fleece"，是我一直都很喜歡的唱片。每一首歌我都愛，太完美了。 Last time a piece of music reduced you to tears? Flea: It was about a month ago. I was walking along the beach at Big Sur listening to the Ruff Draft EP by [late Detroit rapper/producer] J Dilla. It was a really powerful experience – so beautiful it made me cry. 最近讓你落淚的音樂？ F: 大概是一個月以前吧，我走在Big Sur的沙灘上，聽著J Dilla的"Ruff Draft EP"。那個感受很強烈，太美了，也讓我哭了。 What is your karaoke song of choice? Josh Klinghoffer: Oh! Give It Away… by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 唱卡拉OK時的選歌？ JK: 喔！"Give It Away"，嗆辣紅椒的。 (噗，好吧，我很好奇Josh唱這首歌的樣子 XDD) One lyric you wish you’d written? Anthony Kiedis: God, there’s about 500. I can listen to any Bob Dylan record and go, “I wish I had that ability to talk about life in the way he did.” He and his predecessors – like Woody Guthrie. Early rappers like NWA – not that I can relate to their common experience; I just like their honesty. 你最想寫出來的歌詞？ AK: 天啊，大概有五百首吧。我會聽著巴布狄倫的唱片然後想說：「我真希望能像他一樣，用這種方式闡述人生。」像他跟他的前輩，像是Woody Guthrie。早期的饒舌歌手NWA，不是說我能投射到他們的經歷，我只是很欣賞他們的誠實。 What’s your favourite record of the past 25 years? Chad Smith: I really liked Guns N’ Roses Appetite For Destruction. Right when I moved out here to California, they were just starting to blow up. I would go to clubs on the Sunset Strip and see Axl Rose and Slash hanging out. I liked their whole refreshing attitude. John Frusciante loved that record, too, so we were able to bond over it. 過去25年以來，你最喜歡的專輯？ CS: 我真的很愛槍與玫瑰的"毀滅慾"。就在我剛搬到加州時，他們正是大放異彩的時候。我當時會去Sunset Strip上的俱樂部，去看Axl Rose和Slash他們出來玩。我喜歡他們耳目一新的態度。John也很愛那張專輯，這是我們的連結。 And what song will be playing at your funeral? Flea: I’ve always said in the past that Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix would be the song. But of late I’ve been having a few other thoughts … something by [bebop-era jazz singer] Babs Gonzales And His Three Bips And A Bop would be great. 你想在你的葬禮上播什麼歌？ F: 以前我總是回答Jimi Hendrix的"Bold As Love"。但是最近我有不同的想法，或許是Babs Gonzales，跟他的團Three Bips and a Bop之類的，我想會很棒。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 27.147.0.144
