NME
date: September 26th 2001
It's 11am, September 12th, 2001, the morning after the beginning of the end
of the world. Come in, we've been expecting you……
"What a fucking waste! Of life!…..There's gonna be a race war…You just fear
for sanity…..You know what they're like in the Midwest, fucking old Chip
polishing his old M16 he uses to kill deer sat watching it thinking,
'Right! Where's the nearest fucking Arab?'…. Religious fanatics…you can't
argue with these people…. Nostradamus…. George Bush's dad is just gonna be,
'Son? This is your destiny!'…. Well, it's the end of the world, innit?…
At the end of the day, fuck 'em….. They're all mad! No wonder we fucking
take drugs! It's just fucking……. fucking….. spectacularly fucked up! Right!
Get me on the front of this fucking paper before it all goes pear-shaped...."
以上是頭子對這次 911 事件驚嚇過度，沒有條理的胡言亂語:p
Noel Gallagher, like everyone else in Britain, has spent most of the last
21 hours watching, as he says, "people falling out the fucking sky". Here,
meanwhile, in a vast, white photo studio in north London, the sometime
'crisis' between the sometime Brothers Grim has reached an unprecedented
peacetime harmony. This is Liam'n'Noel's first NME interview together since
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
the 'Wibbling Rivalry' cavalcade of 1995 which defined their
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
relation-fookin'-ship, forever-you-coont-fook-off. Today, they arrive together,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
on time, sober, like best pals, brothers and bandmates who appear to be in
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
exactly the same band. Things between them, these days, are "great!", they
simply "got it all sorted".
這段是對比當對岸美國爆發有史以來最令人震驚的恐怖行動的同時，
在英國這對蓋勒格兄弟卻正經歷他們關係中最和諧平靜的階段。
今次的 NME 專訪，是他們倆繼 '95 年共處一室接受訪問大幹對方關係破裂後，
(那次整個互譙過程被路下來出了名為'Wibbling Rivalry'的單曲，爬上 34 名...)
第一次再度“共同”接受訪問;)
呵有沒有注意到那個很長用來形容他倆以往關係的合成形容詞
"relation-fookin'-ship, forever-you-coont-fook-off"
(中文直譯有點像是“關*他媽的*係，永遠-你-混蛋-他媽的-給我滾”)
現在可是同進同出，真如親兄弟，好朋友，樂團夥伴一樣呢^-^~
Noel is every bit the chief-quip raconteur we've come to expect, a small, neat,
sober-clothed 34-year-old, wandering around speaking to everyone about the
horrors of humanity while simultaneously flicking through NME. "…..and
she's a cunt (Courtney Love). There's nowt fucking cosmic about them (Cosmic
Rough Riders). And why the fuck give them (Hear'Say) a review, man?"
呵訪問者描述到 Noel 如預期般的“頭子氣質”和 符合 34 歲的裝扮，
頭子邊翻著 NME 邊有感而發人性的恐怖...嘿嘿當然也少不了東批一下 Courtney
西譙一下 Cosmic Rough Riders 以及 Hear'Say 囉:p
Liam, meanwhile, is a human homage to the word Defiant. Quiet, at least
compared to Noel, he's equally buoyant and a great deal more blunt, wearing a
^^^^^^^^^
crisp shiny-blue kagoul up to his chin and enormous, rimless, rock star shades,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the light from his gigantic blue eyes beaming straight through the plastic
anyway.
劃起來的部分是近期標準的 Liam 裝扮，有兩個重點：
1. 要穿有拉鍊的外套，並拉至下巴的高度。
2. 要戴極大、無邊、搖滾明星般的墨鏡
When his fellow aliens land wondering what all that banging's about on the
blue planet, they might ask for the definition of this rock'n'roll caper
they've heard so much about. Well, that's your fellow, right there. Harder,
and even more Mancunian than you think he is; nuclear sarcasm itself,
disguising colossal inner mirth. He's a bit, you know, mental.
呵這段很妙耶，筆者說假如我們鄰近的外星人來訪詢問這個藍色星球最近“磅”的一聲
是怎麼回事，它們倒可以先請教 Liam 上面著名的“搖滾角落”有什麼涵義咧;)
然後它們就會發現原來地球上住著一個同類──極端矛盾而瘋狂。
(其中有些單字還要再查...)
Eighteen months ago, in Barcelona, after that night's Oasis show was cancelled
(drummer Alan White's arm seized up), the band drank the DNA out of their
rider (San Miguel, Rioja, Temprenillas, vodka, gin, Jack Daniel's), Liam said
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
something which remains unspeakable about Noel's then wife Meg Mathews and
Noel punched him out, declared he was quitting touring overseas altogether,
and Oasis played on, Noel-free. Ever since, through the Carling Weekend 2000,
the one sober/one slaughtered Wembley shows, the 2001 Black Crowes gigs in
America and tours in South America, Japan and Thailand, the world has waited
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
with increasing indifference for the sometime biggest, and sometime best,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
band in the world to put itself, tragically, out of its misery. Pthrt!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They didn't invent 'Live Forever' for now.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
回溯從去年初頭子在巡迴中出走到現在的概況，
怪怪把那麼多種酒混在一起喝，取名叫 DNA，難怪會大打出手-_-~
還觀察到其中這個世界是如何冷眼旁觀這個自認“最大”“最棒”團走出陰霾，
感嘆 "Live Forever" 絕對不是為現在這樣的局面而存在的...
Meanwhile, both Gallagher marriages imploded and Liam now has another son,
Gene, with Nicole Appleton, while Noel still has one daughter, Anais, and a
new girlfriend, Sara. Right now, the Gallaghers are on two adjacent sofas,
Noel seated upright, and Liam 'seated' completely horizontally.
蓋勒格兄弟的生兒育女，婚姻狀況，
在各自於沙發上取得舒服的姿勢後(Noel 垂直坐，Liam 水平躺著坐;)
便開始了今次的訪問。
To be continued 待續...
