嗯，我想大家應該不意外啦，至少我不意外 :P 雖然還是希望看見這一大票人再重新碰頭，但我們也知道John的個性... 除了Chad向John確認過他不會出席HOF外，第四支單曲將會是"Brendan's Death Song" :) http://ppt.cc/f6Z9 The Red Hot Chili Peppers' unexpected tour break to let frontman Anthony Kiedis undergo and recover from foot surgery may serve to expedite the group's next album. 嗆辣紅椒因主唱AK的腿傷與術後休養，無預期地中斷了巡迴，但這也可能加快了他們下一張專輯的誕生。 Drummer Chad Smith tells Billboard.com he, bassist Flea and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer got together in Los Angeles during the group's time off the road -- which pushed back the start of the North American leg of its world tour to promote 2011's Grammy Award-nominated "I'm With You." 鼓手Chad告訴告示牌，他與貝斯手Flea與吉他手Josh，在這段休息時間聚在一起。 "We just rehearsed and came up with some ideas and new song ideas and stuff and played together for two weeks, and it was really fun," Smith reports. "It came out great -- flowing and really natural and like we've been playing together a lot, which we have. We sent (Kiedis) CDs and he's like, 'I love this stuff! It sounds great. I love the new jams.' That's just good for everything; it's good for morale, it's good for the future. The future is bright." 「這兩個星期裡，我們聚在一起排練，有些點子，和一些新歌的想法，很好玩。」 Chad接著說：「想法很自然而然的就產生了，好像我們一起演奏了很久一樣，其實也是很久。我們把它錄成CD送給AK，他聽了之後表示：『我超愛的！聽起來很棒！我愛那些新的jam！』這樣很好，對士氣很好，未來也很光明。」 "Brendan's Death Song" So does that mean the next Chili Peppers album will appear in less than the five years between "I'm With You" and 2006's "Stadium Arcadium," or the four years between that and 2002's "By The Way?" "I think so -- I hope so, at least," Smith says. "Normally in Chili Peppers world we never really had this much of a kind of break in a tour. Before, if we had a month off, we would never get together and write song ideas; we always wrote songs when it was time for an album cycle. But everyone just wanted to play. It was great; I came to town, 'Hey guys, I'm gonna be here for two weeks. You want to get together and play?' and everyone was like, 'Yeah! Let's play!' So that bodes well for the future." 看來這意味著下一張紅椒專輯不用等到五年(SA→IWY)，或是四年(BTW→SA)。「我想是的，希望啦。」Chad說「一般來說，紅椒的巡迴期不會像這樣突然中斷。在過去，如果我們有一個月的休息，我們絕對不會碰頭或寫歌。我們只有在該做專輯的時候才會寫歌。可是現在，大家就是想要一起練習、寫歌。這樣很棒。我到了城裡，問大家：『嘿！我要在這待兩個禮拜，你們要出來一起練歌嗎？』然後每個人都很開心的答應。預告了未來會很美好。」 That said, Smith expects the group to be on the road for most of the rest of this year. With Kiedis "on the mend," the Chili Peppers hit the road again on March 29 in Tampa, Fla., before heading to Europe in June, with some U.S. make-up dates in August and in the fall. So a new album certainly isn't likely until the end of 2013 at the earliest. Chad表示這次應該是今年巡迴中最長的一次休息。因為AK尚待復原，紅椒們要到 3/29才會重新上路，之後的六月再前往歐洲，然後八月再回到美國，持續到秋天。看起來新專輯的部份，得等到2013年年底才會有消息。 Meanwhile, the Chili Peppers are also prepping for the release of a another single from "I'm With You" ("Brendan's Death Song") as well as the group's April 14 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Smith says the group, which on that night will also include past drummers Jack Irons and Cliff Martinez, will perform at the ceremony as well as host a private party the night before the inductions. Guitarist John Frusciante, however, will not be attending. 同時，紅椒們也正再籌備推出下一支單曲，Brendan's Death Song，而在4/14他們也將進入搖滾名人堂。 Chad表示當晚進入HOF的成員還有前鼓手Jack Irons與Cliff Martinez，他們將一起在前一晚的私人派對，與當晚的典禮上一同演出。然而，吉他手John則不會出席。 "He didn't feel comfortable coming, which we totally respect," Smith says. "We asked him... He said, 'I'm just not really comfortable with that, but good luck and thanks for inviting me.' It was all good. He's the kind of guy, I think, that once he's finished with something he's just on to the next phase of his life. The Chili Peppers are not really on his radar right now." 「他覺得出席HOF不太自在，我們也尊重他。」Chad說「我們問過他，他說：『我對這種事真的很不在行，但祝你們好運也謝謝你們邀請我。』就是這樣。他的個性就是如此囉。我想要等他完成他人生中的階段性任務吧。嗆辣紅椒目前已經不在他的生涯規畫裡了」 But, Smith adds, that won't dampen the celebration in Cleveland. "I'm very pleased about it," he says. "Music's not a competition. Yeah, you like to win Grammys and stuff, but (the Rock Hall) is different. It's not like the flavor of the month or the flavor of the year; it's for a long career we've been fortunate enough to have. I'm very humbled, because the people who are in there...it's not a joke. It's very cool. So we're looking forward to it. It'll be a fun thing. There's no pressure, like, 'Are we gonna win?,' none of that s***. We can just go and have a good time and celebrate with our friends and our families and our fans." Chad補充，這件事並不會影響到他們的慶祝。「我對此一直都覺得很高興。」他說「音樂不是競賽。是啦，雖然你會想要得葛萊美獎，但搖滾名人堂不一樣。它不是本月最佳、或是本年最佳這種意義。它代表的是我們很幸運可以擁有這樣長的職業生涯。我很謙卑，因為那些早已身在名人堂的人士...這可不是開玩笑的。實在太酷了。所以我們很期待。一定會很有趣。絕對不會有壓力，像是：『我們會贏嗎？』之類的思緒。我們就是單純的出席，好好地跟朋友、家人與粉絲們玩樂、慶祝。」 -- ※ 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 (03/07 20:52)
