瓦肯露天音乐节 德国
这是瓦肯露天音乐节 世界上最大的金属音乐节 This is WACKEN OPEN AIR, the world's biggest heavy metal festival
每年超过7万粉丝从世界各地 Where each year over 70,000 fans from around world
汇聚在德国北部的这片田野之中 gathering in the farm field in northern Germany
庆祝他们对于重金属的热爱 To celebrate their love for heavy metal
我叫山姆·邓恩 My name is Sam Dunn
在我第一次带着纪录片《金属：一名金属狂热者之旅》来到瓦肯的时候 In the first time i visited WACKEN for my film"Mental: A headbanger Journey"
我认识到金属乐并非只是音乐 I learned that metal is more than just music
它是一群边缘人的文化 it's a culture of outsiders
并且能被金属音乐人和金属狂热者的热情引爆 and was blown away by the passion of metal musicians and fans
不过我的影片只是关于重金属人类学的概述 But my film was only an overview of the anthropology of heavy metal
只是冰山一角 There is a much bigger story to be told
在过去四十年间 Over the past four decades
重金属已经衍生出很多分支 Heavy metal has involved into dozens of subgenres
包括激流金属、华丽金属、新金属、前卫金属、垃圾摇滚、英国重金属新浪潮以及更多 including Thrash Metal, Glam Metal, Nu Metal, Progressive Metal, Grunge, the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and many more
但是为何重金属会有如此多的分支呢？ But why does heavy metal split into all these subgenres?
每一种分支又对重金属音乐有哪些贡献呢？ And what does each subgenre contribute to the evolution of this music?
你知道很多纪录片都研究了爵士、古典乐、布鲁斯的历史 You know, many documentaries have explored the history of Jazz, Classical and the Blues.
然而 研究金属乐的少之又少 But still, i feel metal has never really got us to do
所以我带来了这段新旅程 So, this is my new journey
一次探索重金属进化史的旅程 A journey into the evolution of the heavy metal
乐视音乐字幕组独家制作 听译&时间轴：小仙儿 总校对：Sese
金属进化论
我的探索历程将涵盖重金属进化的四十年历史 my journey into heavy metal's vast 40 year history
这是个浩大的工程 is a massive undertaking
但当我真正走进这种音乐类型的进化史之前 But before i delve into the entire evolution of this music
我先退一步问一个重要的问题 I gonna step back and start with a big question
为什么人们那么痴迷重金属？ Why are people drawn to heavy metal music?
它是更加激进的边缘音乐 It's outsider music to the next
重金属解决了我年少时很多问题 Heavy metal solved a lot of problems when i was a teenager
金属乐队吉他手
当我无法表达自我 当我沮丧的时候 When i couldn't express myself or just frustrated
我会走进自己房间放一张金属唱片 I would just go into my room and put on a metal album
一下就得到了释放 and feel instantly relief
金属音乐就是激情、力量 让你愤怒的 We are about excitement and power and making you angry
直到引爆周围所有人的激情 to the point of exploding from everyone else
犹大牧师主唱
这就是金属乐 That's what metal is about
当我甩头唱歌的时候 我感觉棒极了 When i bang my head it feels good
GWAR主唱
它释放了我身体里的化学成分 It releases some kind of chemical inside of me
我不确定这是什么 但是重金属绝对是 I am not sure what it is but heavy metal is
史上创造出的最棒的噪音 The greatest noise that ever was created
重金属让你生命推向极致 Heavy metal is pushing your life to the maximum
你可以毫无顾忌地将它推进 直至混乱的边缘 Pushing it as hard as you can fucking get it onto the edge of chaos
穷街乐队前主唱
它给你了一个机会让你抱怨释放让你表达出 It's the chance to just rail just to get it out to express
MC5吉他手
你绝对不会随波逐流的态度 that you are not going along with the program
它有攻击性有态度也有强度 There is aggression and attitude and intensity
炭疽吉他手
还有我一生坚持的东西 To everything i do in life
这都源于小时候音乐带给我的感觉 I think it all comes from the way that the music makes me feel since i was a kid
它像一种放纵 A certain kind of abandon
枪花吉他手
你知道 就像把规则扔出窗外 随它去吧 You know like sorts of tossing rules out of window and just going for it
我觉得摇滚乐是很好的发泄途径 非常重要 I think rock and roll in general is a great outlet it's really important
如果没有它 可能在16岁到25岁的年轻人中间会产生更多暴力等其他问题 I think without it, we have a lot more violence a lot more troubles in general with the people between 16 and 25
重金就像部落仪式 人们聚在同一个地方 合着同一个节拍上下跳动 Metal is tribal, there is tribal about being in one place, jumping up and down to the same beat
人们疯狂甩着头 挥汗如雨 People head banging and sweating
相撞在一起 Smacking into each other
爱丽丝库伯乐队主唱
等到演出结束的时候 他们已经共同经历了许多 At the end of the concert, they've gone through something together
重金属音乐已经变成了一种必要的精神宣泄 Heavy metal music has become an essential catharsis
铁娘子主唱
一种释放的权利 some right of passage
金属乐是一群志同道合朋友们的庆典 Metal is like a celebration of community and friendship for people
他们在基因和情感上拥有这样的特质 Who simple have a genetic or emotional predispositon
能够感受这种音乐的引力 to gravitate towards that kind of music
感受侵略性 你知道侵略性的确存在 That kind of aggression, you know the aggression is there
但是它是有限度的可控的 且集中的 But it's contained and it's controlled and it's focused
遇到这些重金属音乐家让我意识到 Meeting with these heavy metal musicians has made me realized
金属音乐中的力量、凝聚力和侵略性 that the power, community and aggression in metal music
与人们有很深层次的联系 Connects with people on a very deep level
于是我很好奇 当我们听重金属 感受其中侵略性时 So i am curious to find out what is actually happening inside our brains
汉密尔顿 加拿大
我们脑袋里到底在想些什么？ when we feel aggressive from listening to heavy metal
所以我找到了在麦斯马斯克大学授课的神经科学家 So i tracked down the neuroscientist who teaches here in McMaster University
我想请教她 and i wanna ask her
我们在听重金属的时候侵略性和力量感 where does this feeling of aggression and power come from
到底是从何而来？ when we listen to metal music
-嗨 你是劳拉吧？-嗨 是的 很高兴见到你 -Hi you must be laura -Hi yes nice to meet you
我是山姆 很高兴见到你 I'm Sam nice to meet you
我们这里的研究方向是听觉系统和它的发育过程 we are interested in the auditory system here and how it develops
麦斯马斯克大学
音乐思维实验室主任
还有听觉在脑袋里产生的经验效应 and what the effect of experience are on the brain
以及人们如何听到声音和做出何种反应 and how people hear things and how they react to things
在这过程中 我们对音乐最感兴趣 and we are particularly interested in music
所以当你走进来 把网状传感器戴在头上 So when you came in and put the sensor net on your head
当你听音乐的不同片段时 and as you listened to different pieces of music
我们就测量你的脑电波反应 and we measured your brain responses
人们有时会谈论重金属的暴力性 people talk sometimes about heavy metal in terms of violence
那些强烈的音响和失真效果 会让人 and the sound of intensity and the distortion tends to turn off
丧失理智 conscious thoughts
当你不再压抑自我 So you turning off inhibition
我们每个人都可能做出暴力行为 All of us are capable of violent behavior
但是 我们有时也喜欢那种失控的感觉 On the other hand, the other side of it is that we do like to feel a lack of control from time to time
如果建立在安全的氛围基础上 这就会很积极 and if this is done in a safe environment, that can be a positive thing
重金属音乐某些元素涉及到爬虫类脑 There is something in heavy metal music that speaks to the reptilian brain
暴力反抗机器吉他手
它和智力以及理性思维都没有关系 It doesn't speak to intellect, it doesn't speak to a thought processes on the surface
它只会让你的五脏六腑感受到重金属 some of the connect is very visceraly with heavy metal music
你会感觉到这太酷了 that it just feels awesome
绝对是一种发泄 用别的方法都得不到的释放 Certainly an outlet, an outlet that you couldn't get anywhere else
你去看演出 然后丢掉你的思想 钻进人群中舞动 玩在人群中“跳水” You come to the show and lose your fucking mind, and get in the pit and go crazy in stage-diving
然后享受欢乐 这不是暴力 而是乐趣 and have fun it is not about violence. It is about fun
你也许会青一块紫一块 第二天跟散架了一样 但是你知道么 Might be brused and really tired the next day, but you know what
这就是一次很爽的按摩 事后你会觉得舒服极了 It's like a great message, you are gonna feel very good afterawards
在金属文化中 你就像在操练 So in a metal context, it's like you are exercising
你身体中包含侵略性和好战的一面 但是实际没有危险 the part of you that is aggressive that is combative, but without any real danger
没错 That's right
尽管金属乐对外人来说 Even though heavy metal can appear violent and aggressive
暴力而激进 to people on the outside
我却了解到了金属乐的激进性 What i have learned is that the aggression of metal
却为音乐人和粉丝提供了正面的情感释放 provides a positive emotional release for its musicians and fans
所以我现在对于为什么人们沉迷于这种音乐 And so i now have a much better grasp why
有了更深一步地认识 people are drawn to this music
既然这个纪录片是关于重金属音乐地进化 But since this series is about the evolution of metal
我需要了解这四十年中金属是怎样变化的 I need to understand how metal is changed over its 40 years history
以及为何能演变成今日的复杂的现象 and why it has become a complex phenomenon that is is today
于是我开启了我的旅程 So i am embarking on the journey that will take me to over
经过四十多个城市 十二个国家 横跨三个大陆 Forty cities and twelve countries across three continents
我将造访英国伯明翰的后街 I will travel from the backstreet in Birmingham, England
还有洛杉矶的日落大道 to L.A. Sunset Strip
从密西西比的十字路口 and from the crossroad in Mississippi
到智利圣地亚哥的足球场 to soccer stadium in Santiago, Chile
我将会造访超过三百位的音乐人 粉丝和专家 I will be meeting over three hundred musicians, fans and experts
挖掘金属乐的根源 to dig deep into metal's roots
找寻它有如此多分支的原因 and to find out why this developed into over two dozen subgenres
一开始 我要追溯到原点 But to get started, i am going back to the very begining
这种音乐的根源是什么？ What is the sound of the root of this music?
重金属最早发源于哪里？ Where did heavy metal actually begin?
对于金属的起源有很多争议 The birth of heavy metal is a much debated topic
在许多粉丝 乐手 专家之间都有争议 among metal fans musicians and experts
但是大多都同意金属诞生于1970年2月 But most will agree that the genre was born in February 1970
当英国伯明翰的黑色安息日乐队发布他们的首张专辑 When Birmingham England's Black Sabbath released their debut record
《黑色安息日》 Black Sabbath
这张专辑的曲子比之前的其它音乐都更重更黑暗 This record was far heavier and darker than any music that's come before
所以我常常想问他们的音乐源头 So i've always wanted to ask about their musical roots
黑色安息日乐队是从哪里找来的灵感 创作这样重型的乐曲？ Where did Black Sabbath get the inspiration to create this heavy sound
回想第一张专辑 Going back to the first record
你会如何描述你们创造的那种声音 How would you describe the sound you guys were creating?
黑色安息日贝斯手
额 很难解释 它好像是自己冒出来的 It's hard to say because it seemed to write itself
你知道 我们不停地排练 直到灵感忽然冒出来 you know we jammed around until we came over this
一天早晨 我们就创作出了这首《黑色安息日》 We came over the song"Black Sabbath"
一瞬间完成的 Tony先想到的这个主旋律 It was just done in a flash. It was when Tony came over the riff
Ozzy就开始唱词 Ozzy started singing the lyrics
它真的有点像自己冒出来的 And it sort of really did write itself
开场段落的灵感来源于哪里？ What were the main inspirations for that opening riff?
我记得当时用贝斯弹奏《行星组曲》中的《火星》 I remember playing the Mars, The Planet Suit
那时我们正在排练 Tony似乎受我影响 弹起来 on the bass when we were rehearsing, and it seemed to influence Tony to go
你知道 一种相同的三全音 You Know the same sort of tritonic thing
那时我认为Geezer正在弹奏着霍尔斯特的《火星》 I think Geezer was trying to play the notes to Holst's MARS
黑色安息日鼓手
然后Tony进入 拉长了乐句 并保持住了 and Tony showed up and he lengthened the notes and he held them at
然后再把他们转化一下 then shifted them back
我没说这乐句是Tony从Holst那里得来的 And that i am not saying that Tony took that riff from Holst
但是当你听到这段音乐的话 你就会明白 毫无疑问 If you listen to the music you can hear it. Very much so
古典音乐显然是黑色安息日的早期的灵感来源 Classical music was obviously the inspiration for BLACK SABBATH in the early years
所以我很好奇 古典音乐是否还影响了其它金属音乐家 So i'm curious to know if classical music has been an influence on other metal musicians
于是我回到德国去见Uli Jon Roth So i've come back to Germany to meet Uli Jon Roth
他是古典音乐行家 也是前蝎子乐队的吉他手 Who is a classical music expert and former guitarist of Scorpions
我要和他讨论一下 古典音乐和重金属的关系 to talk with him about this connection between classic music and heavy metal
为什么这么多硬摇滚和重金属的吉他手 Why have so many hard rock and heavy metal guitarists
在自己的音乐中受到古典作曲人的影响？ incorporated the influences of classical composers in to the music
蝎子乐队吉他手
比如Eddie Van Halen、Randy Rhoads 还有你自己和其他很多人 I think of Eddie Van Halen i think of Randy Rhoads i think of yourself and many others
我觉得是因为我们天生就希望兼收并蓄 I think because it's a natural inborn desire to involve
你知道 有这么庞大的音乐库 You know, you have this enormous reserva and repertoire
全都来自过去伟大的音乐家 你看到这些就会想 of great musicians in the past. You look at that and it comes
哇 这些人都做了什么 你知道 也许我们能做的一样好 Wow, what are these people doing? you know, maybe we can do something similar
尤其当你是个年轻吉他手的时候 你会觉得很来劲 And particularly when you are a young player, you will find that exciting
你知道 比如从演奏的灵巧性来看 You know, the dexterity angle
因为你会关注速度 会想要演奏得更流畅 Because you are interested in speed, and you wanna be fluent and what you do
而这一切古典乐都能够教你 and classical music teaches you that, you know
当我还是个年轻的金属乐粉丝的时候 我觉得除了金属其它类型的音乐都很傻逼 As a young fan of metal, i thought all of that music sucked
暴力反抗机器吉他手
比如 古典和爵士 “完全就是娘们在哭啊 大哥” You know, classical music, jazz music, "it's totally weepy, man!"
但当我成为吉他手 我突然发现 But then when i became a guitar player, and i realized
Eddie Van Halen和Ynwie Malmsteen that the excellence of Eddie Van Halen Ynwie Malmsteen
与Nicolo Paganini的精湛技艺是有相通之处的 and the excellence of Nicolo Paganini has something in common
我不再只是从表现形式上欣赏音乐技巧 I appreciated not just the musicianship of the expression
我还开始欣赏了那些才华横溢的非金属音乐家带来自己的音乐风格 but very talented non-metal musicians brought to their own genres
这对我来说很有启发 It was very inspiring to me
对于一些重金属演奏家 古典音乐人比如帕格尼尼不仅仅是灵感来源 For some heavy metalers, classical musicians like Paganini are more than an inspiration
更是一种痴迷 they are an obsession
如果帕格尼尼还活在今天并且用Fender Strat接Marshall音箱玩吉他的话 And if Paganini were alive today and played Fender Strat through Marshall stack
他就会成为瑞典吉他大师Yngwie Malmsteen He would be the Swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen
你为什么将古典音乐的声音大胆地用到 Why you brought the classical sound quite boudly
摇滚和金属中去？其他人也没做过 into the rock and metal format than what anyone else did?
是因为 当时我看见电视上一位俄罗斯小提琴家在演奏 What it was? It was that i saw on TV this Russian violinist
如果你对小提琴不感冒 那你可能没法相信 If you don't get mad on the violin, you know, you can't believe it
他们在节目结束时说 这是帕格尼尼第24首随想曲 They said at the end of the program that this was Nicolo Paganini
我当时惊呼 哇 如果我能创作出这种音乐 I just said, "Wow! If i can get any of that, you know"
那种线性音符 歌唱性音符 琶音……简直太惊人了 the liner, singing notes,apreggios......that would be amazing!
所以当我听到它 我就知道这是我想要的 就是它 So once i heard that, that was it, i know that's what i wanna do
从演奏技巧上来说 帕格尼尼做得太惊人了 Just technically, it's amazing what Paganini did
当时我觉得我需要挑战自己 And i felt that i needed to challenge myself
我不想草草了事 I didn't wanna take an easy way out
我觉得这点对我来说是最主要的原因 I think that's the main reason for me
我喜欢我必须变得比现在更出色的状态 I was felt like i had to be better than i am
对我来说 变得更出色就要演奏更难的 and to me, to be better would be to play more difficult
更复杂的古典音乐 more complex classical tones of music
我不仅想要演奏得很平稳 而是想要挑战演奏23456弦上的琶音 You know i don't wanna just play safe, there are 2 string,3 string,4 string, 5 string, 6 string arpeggios
但总有人让我慢慢来 他们跟我说：“诶你慢点”我不知道 But people kept telling me to slow down, you know they said,"Hey, slow down!" Well, i don't know
他们跟我说 你要记住 越少越好 No, remeber less is more
我会问 那怎么可能呢？ I would say, how could that be?
少即是多？那不可能 How could less be more? It's impossible
多才是多 More is more
古典音乐的高超技艺 The virtuosity of classical music
很大程度上激发了众多金属乐吉他手的灵感 has been hugely inspirational for many metal guitarists
伦敦 英国
但是由于重金属的技艺并不限于吉他演奏 But since the virtuosity of heavy metal is not limited to the guitar
我又前往英国伦敦拜访了犹大牧师乐队的 I've come to London, England, to meet with Rob Halford
传奇歌手Rob Halford the legendary vocalist of Judas Priest
探究古典音乐对他金属演唱方式的影响 To explore how classical music is influenced his approach to metal vocal
在成为职业歌手之前 我在剧院工作了一段时间 Before i became a professional singer, i worked in a theater for a while
那时我能从侧面望向舞台 有时也会看看歌剧 And i looked from the side to the the stage and i would watch opera
犹大牧师乐队主唱
你知道 当我来回张望 看看观众看看表演者 You know when i looked at audience, and looked at performer back and forth
我觉得很有趣 而且我被充满力量的声音还有他的做派迷倒了 and it was intriguing to see, and i was just mesmerized by that power of the voice and what he can do
你可以听听他的歌 帕瓦罗蒂简直是我男神 You listen to some Pavarotti, who's my ultimate god
你能听到从喉咙里传出来的声音到底能创造出多么广袤的领域 look at the scope that can be created by his vocals in the throat
那非同凡响 所以作为歌手的我 总是很享受 It is absolutely sensational, it's like... i've always had fun as a singer
去尝试尽可能多的戏剧性效果 to try to do as many dramatic things as i possibly can
Rob Halford可以像歌剧演唱者一样发声 Rob Halford has that ability to sort of project like an opera singer
那种嗓音风格 是反金属吗？ that kind of vocal style, what is it? anti-metal?
歌剧形式是很有挑战性的音乐形式 特别对于歌手来说 Opera is a great challenging style of music to perform, you know, as a singer especially
QUEENSRYCHE 主唱
我认为比摇滚乐唱法要有挑战得多 Much more challenging i think than rock music, you know
关于Rob Bruce和我自己 我注意到一点 One of the tings that i notice about Rob, Bruce and myself
那就是我们的演出有很强烈的戏剧效果 你知道 is there is a huge matter of theatrics in our delivery, you know
试图将效果传达给观众 并感染他们 trying to get the effect across the audience and affecting them
让观众释放某种情绪 release some sort of emotion
不管何时 只要我唱歌 就会出现一种我称之为“心灵戏剧”的东西 Whenever i sing a song, there is always a big part of it is what i describe as"Theater of mind "
铁娘子主唱
就像把戏剧表演加入到音乐中 It is like applied dramatics through music
我想说 所有歌剧 古典音乐以及其他音乐都很简单明了 And i would like to say we are on any kind of level with any great opera old classical or anything
你知道 他们只不过渴望能与人们的想象融为一体 You know, they simply desire to do a good job messing with people's imagination
伤痛 紧张 嫉妒 愤怒 复仇 trauma, intensity, jealousy, and rage and revenge
就像歌剧一样 金属乐也将这些情绪进一步地推进 Like opera, metal's got all of those things going forwards
我们的存在就是为了激情 力量 还有激发你的情感 We are about excitement, and power and making you very emotional
这就是金属的意义 超越生命的全方位视觉体验 That's what metal is about,that whole visual larger-than-life experience
重金属的内核就是军乐 Heavy metal at its core is martial music
制作人
它是宏大的 重型的 军事化的 能把你吓尿的音乐 It's big, heavy, military,scare-you-to-death music
重金属正式衍生出来 是在很久以后 但重金属的概念是很早就出现的 Heavy metal was turned the key much later on, but the idea of heavy music that's been there since the beginning of time
这种音乐是瓦格纳很早就在音乐厅里 It's the music that Wagner played in the concert halls
用他那超大的乐器和大型乐队演奏出来的 with his outsized instruments and his huge orchestras
他的理念就是用音乐来撼动世界 the whole idea was shake the world, shake the world through the power of his music
很多音乐家都认同摇滚的基石是布鲁斯 Most musicians would agree that the foundation for all rock music is the blues
布鲁斯是Robert Johnson开创的 他曾经驻足于密西西比的克拉斯克代尔的那个十字路口 which was born when Robert Johnson stood at the Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississipi
他与魔鬼做交易 用自己的灵魂换音乐生命 and sold his soul to the devil by choosing the life of music
不过我热爱的重金属乐队 But growing up, heavy metal bands that i loved
比如铁娘子 Metallica乐队却在不断成长中离布鲁斯越来越远 Like Iron Maiden, and Metallica seemed like the further staying away from the blues
所以布鲁斯和重金属之间有怎样的联系? So what exactly is the connection between the blues and heavy metal?
布鲁斯和重金属之间有亲缘关系吗？ So the blues and heavy metal, is there any kinship there?
《嘻哈美国》作者
我认为他们有本质的联系 I mean how i think they are? There are intrinsically links
比如你看那些英国音乐人 滚石 Holloways 雏鸟乐队 摩托头 I mean if you look at any other British musicians from the Stones, Holloways to the Yardbirds and Motorhead
那些玩浪潮的家伙都听布鲁斯 all the wave guys, they all listened to Blues
黑安/深紫前主唱
所有硬摇滚 金属乐队都是在基石上发展的 All hard rock/metal bands started out with some sort of foundation
发展源于布鲁斯乐句 they started with a blues riff
那是我们演奏的起点 That's where we all started playing
我演奏的开始是在我父亲的花园小屋里 演奏 你懂的 and my playing in my shed in my dad's garden, playing the, you know
我知道你喜欢布鲁斯 也学过 I know you are a fan of Blues and have studied the Blues
那么早期布鲁斯和现代金属的共同DNA是什么？ What is the shared DNA between early blues and modern day metal?
金属乐队吉他手
首先 他们都是以重复乐段为基础的音乐 Well right off the bat, they are both riff-based music
很多布鲁斯歌曲都有重复的乐段 并且始终不离开它 I mean a lot of blues songs have a riff and just sit on that riff
重金属也一样 反复重复一个乐段 Heavy metal is the same way, you sit on a riff
直到你沉浸进去 用你所有能量和激情推进它 and just soak it forward for as much emotion as you can
重复片段是每个摇滚吉他手武器库中的主力 The riff is the huge part of the arsenal of virtually every rock guitarist
约克大学 教授
比如金属乐队的《Hit the Lights》 Look at the Metallica in the song like "Hit the Lights"
整首曲子充斥重复乐段 和三种不同速度 you got riffs over that song, you got 3 different tempos
当你从一个乐段调到另一个 重复段落发生变化 其实很简单 So you shift from one section to another, the riffs change, you got this incredibly easy
像重金属一样 布鲁斯也有黑暗的一面 Like the heavy metal, the blues is also just dark in nature
他们唱的就是过去岁月里人们无法触及的领域 They were singing about things that no one else even touched back in those days
而且没有界限 它绝不是光彩亮丽的 and hadn't an edge to it, it wasn't glossy
真正的Robert Johnson和Howlin Wolf的布鲁斯听起来黑暗肮脏且邪恶 The real blues of Robert Johnson Howlin Wolf, it sounded dark, it sounded dirty, it sounded evil
所有唱布鲁斯的家伙声音里都有野兽在咆哮 These all blues guys they had a growl to their voice
如果真有一个布鲁斯歌唱家声音听起来像重金属领军人物 If there was one blues vocalist to sound like a metal front man
那就是Howlin Wolf It's Howlin Wolf
所以我找到了吉他演奏家Hubert Sumlin So i've tracked down the guitarist Hubert Sumlin
在Howlin Wolf创始的密西西比布鲁斯乐团中 他是唯一仅存的成员 the last surviving member of Howlin Wolf's original Mississipi Blues band
Howlin Wolf吉他手
想要得到关于Wolf形象的第一手资料 to get the first hand perspective on what Wolf was like
就是这么弹的 就是这样 老弟
能问一个问题吗 在吉他方面Howlin Wolf怎么影响你的？ Can i ask you, how did Howlin Wolf influence you or inspire you in terms of your guitar play?
噢老弟 我跟你说 我没见过他这样的人
这个人没受过教育
不过他很懂重复乐段
他很懂音乐
很了解感情
他一开口 你就会豁然开朗
能跟我谈谈他那大嗓门吗？ Could you tell me about the big voice that he had?
哦 他那大嗓门
能把我吓得魂不附体啊 老弟
Howlin Wolf这个名字可不是开玩笑的 The 'Howlin Wolf' name was not a joke
他的声音听起来像是从地狱传出来的 His voice sounded like it's coming from hell
是一种兽性的声音 It was an animalistic sound
所以 在众多重金属音乐人中划出一道红线 So, there is a red line between the heavy metal guys
一部分是自己声音的创造者 一部分就是模仿Howlin Wolf的 毫无疑问 who are the archetypes who really created the thing and what you heard of Howlin Wolf. No doubt about it
在主唱的传统中 金属原则上来讲 是源于布鲁斯 In the tradition of what lead singers do, metal is from the blues in terms of its absolute rules
布鲁斯的情感信息 The emotional message of the blues
犹大牧师主唱
我认为 还存在于金属之中 I think, is still relevant in metal
它来自灵魂 它非常 你知道 It's from the soul, it's very, you know...
非常原始 从中你能听到发自肺腑的 本能的 very primo, you like just got this kind of very gut, instinctive type of
野人的态度 cavemanisc attitude about it
布鲁斯和金属之间毫无疑问有着很强的联系 The blues clearly has some strong musical connections with heavy metal
不过我还想再探索一个金属史前的音乐流派 But there is still one more genre in the prehistory of metal i want to explore
那就是爵士乐 That's jazz
不过我必须承认 我没想过 爵士和金属会有任何共通之处 But i gotta say, i never consider jazz and metal to have anything in common
所以 爵士影响过重金属音乐家吗？ So, is jazz an influence on heavy metal musicians?
很多爵士都很xx 听起来就像 就好像是 A lot of jazz is ... and is sounds like what is like
THE STOOGES主唱
很失败的自慰 对吧 那些人就像这样 poorly sorted out masturbation, right? Guys are like...
所以爵士名声不太好 但是他们之中还是有 So it has a bad reputation for that, but there are certain guys
少数一些人做出了令人惊讶的音乐 Within them, that they were just been astonishing
-爵士乐对你有影响吗？-噢当然 当然 绝对有 -Was jazz an influence? -Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely
黑色安息日鼓手
有一堆美国爵士乐唱片伴随我成长 Growing up, we had a huge collection of American records
每周六晚上 我爸就会和着音乐唱歌 我妈妈就会弹钢琴 And every Saturday night, my dad's sing to them and my mom playing a bit piano
那些歌我全听了 I listened to all those songs
有一首歌是Glenn Miller写的 它不断地变弱变弱变弱 然后忽然 There was a song by Glenn Miller, it diminished, diminished, diminished and suddenly with...
它应该叫《In the mood》 我很喜欢它 "In the mood" i think it was, and i love it
所以那种音乐对我影响很深 So, i was terribly influenced by that music
那你有没有借鉴它 把它应用到安息日乐队中去？ And did you take that and try to bring that to Sabbath's music?
噢 它就在我们乐队当中 Oh, it's in Sabbath's music
你可以听听《Fairies Wears Boots》里摇摆的节奏 You can hear all the swing in the "Fairies"
当你这么击鼓时 就会摇摆起来 When you doing those kind of chops, it's swinging
在乐队中 你会摇摆得很带劲 In the band you could swing well
Bill Ward是个爵士鼓手 Bill Ward was a jazz drummer
如果你听听他是如何敲鼓的 If you listen to this stuff he was doing on the drum
铁娘子主唱
那不是乒里乓啷 那时很爵士的感觉 It's not wack crash... so really jazzy
而Iommi却不是一个标准的爵士乐手 And Iommi wasn't a very jazzy player
Geezer Butler也不是 as is Geezer Butler
所以这个绝对的重型乐队加了一些爵士元素进去 So this is a really heavy band but with a bit jazzy fill to it
或多或少造就了重金属 More or less, invented heavy metal
为何很多重金属音乐家受到那种音乐的影响？ Why are so many metal musicians influenced by that music?
香草软糖乐队鼓手
因为他们那些人都是他们各自乐器的大师 Because those were the masters of their instrument
真的 你知道 你不过是拿他们的东西为己用 然后燃爆它 Really, you know,you will take stuff that they did, and rock fire
用你自己的方式使用它 我的意思是 to use the way you want to use, i mean
摇滚鼓演奏是一门艺术 同样 爵士鼓演奏也是一门艺术 Rock drumming is an artifact, as that jazz drumming is an artifact
Buddy Rich是个天赐才华的野兽 Buddy Rich was a god-gifted animal
他的演奏又狠又冲 He was very vicious at his play, very aggressive
他是鼓手界的明星 英雄和偶像 He was a drum star, a drum hero and icon
我记得我很小时候在电视上看到的Buddy Rich I saw on TV Buddy Rich i remember at a very young age
他的能量和演奏的方式让我很惊讶 你知道 and i was amazed at his energy, you know and how he played, you know
杀手乐队鼓手
他击鼓的速度 the velocity that he would hit the drums
那一刻 他用鼓统治了一切 The drums dominated at that moment
他是让激流更加汹涌得激流 He was a thrash to put thrash ever trash
圣约乐队鼓手
你看一些他的独奏表演 就知道他的手有多快 you watch some of his soloing and how fast his hands are going
他到底在干嘛 我的意思是 what he is doing, i mean
恐怕再也没有一个鼓手可以超过他了 probably not a better drummer than him ever to touch a drum set
所以我走进了重金属的领域 我想它非常适合我 So getting into heavy metal, i'll say that is for me
因为我想做些与众不同 令人兴奋的事 coz i want to do something different and exciting
这些尝试让我打鼓的技巧步入新的高度 and that push my drumming to another level
不管是爵士 布鲁斯还是古典乐 Whether it's jazz, blues or classical
现在我对金属乐最深处的源头有了更好的认识 I now have a much better understanding of metal's deepest musical roots
但是这些音乐形式都缺少了一种金属乐中最重要的元素 But all these genres are missing one of the most important elements of heavy metal
电吉他失真的声音 the sound of the distorted electric guitar
那么金属乐吉他失真声音的来源是什么？ So what are the roots of metal's electrified sound?
古典 爵士 布鲁斯都为重金属奠定了基础 Classical, jazz and blues all help lay the foundation for heavy metal
不过金属乐显而易见的前身是摇滚乐 But probably the most obvious musical antecedent of metal is rock n' roll
所以我来到了田纳西州孟菲斯的太阳工作室 So i've come to the Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee
这里是摇滚乐的故乡 the home of rock music
我想了解 什么样的摇滚乐元素 to find out what was the specific music elements of rock
后来能成为重金属的不可或缺的部分 that later became essential components of the heavy metal sound
为什么太阳工作室是摇滚的出生地？ Why is sun studio the birth place of rock n' roll?
恩 这都离不开在1951年在这里录制的一张特别的唱片 Well, it all stands from a particular recording that took place here back in 1951
太阳录音室工作人员
《Rocket 88》录制这张唱片的乐队叫做Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats "Rocket 88" by a band by the name of Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats
我这里有这张专辑的第一份拷贝 And i've got the absolute very first copy that was ever recorded down here
它是由Sam Philips 在这里录制的 on Sam Philips laid the recorder
Sam Philips你知道 是田纳西州孟菲斯的唱片制作人 Sam Philips, you know, producer of some records in Memphis, Tennessee
约克大学 教授
他在美国音乐史上有着举足轻重的地位 is incredibly important in the history of American music period
Sam总是想得到与众不同的声音 Sam wanted the things sounded different
这总是他的目标 that was always his goal
当Ike Turner1951年来到太阳工作室 he's the guy that...when, you know, like Ike Turner arrived at Sun Studio,1951
录制《Rocket "88"》时，扬声器的纸盆破掉了 to cut "Rocket 88", the speaker cone was crack
发出一种很好笑的失真声 it was kind of funny as distorted sound
而他喊出："太棒了 我就是要这个声音！" he was the one that goes,“That's incredible, i want that sound!”
接下来 吉他手Willie Kissert as the story goes, the guitarist Willie Kissert
把他的吉他音箱搬出汽车 放在车顶上 was taking his amp out of the car and putting it up on top of the car
然后堵住箱体后面 又在喇叭纸盆上打了个洞 然后他们在里面塞满了报纸 and filled off the back, punched a hole in the speaker cone. So they went inside and stuffed it full of newspaper
Sam喜欢这个有洞的喇叭纸盆和塞满报纸的音箱发出的声音 Sam loved the sound of the punched speaker cone and the amplifier itself
于是在大多数音乐故事里 它就成为 And it was, according to the most music stories, the first recording
在音乐流派中第一张使用了失真吉他音效的专辑 that used a distorted electric guitar in music genres
除了失真吉他之外 Besides the distorted electric guitar
50年代的音乐为重金属的发展所做出的另一个贡献 another contribution of 50's music to the development of heavy metal
是几名狂野的摇滚领军人物的出现 was the arrival of the wild rock n' roll front men
当我第一次听到Jerry Lee 《Whola Lotta Shakin going on》的时候 When i first heard Jerry Lee doing "Whola Lotta Shakin" going on
深紫乐队键盘手
我觉得我一定要演奏出这种声音 I gotta want to sound like that
那种像原始动物一样粗糙粗野的感觉 That was kind of a raw animal, untextured, untutored feel to it all
而对于当时我这种细腻又温顺的年轻人来说 And that to me as a very textured, tutored young man
你知道 成天被灌输着贝多芬 巴赫等等 You know, being poured out of Beethoven, Bach and the like
这真是太兴奋了 This was massively exciting
我觉得 你能从那个时代玩摇滚的人那里 I think there was one you could get from the rock n' roll guys
《嘻哈美国》作者
了解到一点 当时美国正处在红色恐怖之中 You know, from that era, it's American during the time when there was the Red-Scare going on
大家都害怕共产主义会入侵 there was a lot of fear that the Communists were gonna get us, you know
大家都会被炸弹炸死 The bombs were gonna blow us all up
而这些玩摇滚的代表了一种狂野和自由的状态 And these guys represented a kind of wildness and freedom
这种状态在其他任何已有公共文化形式里都无法见到 that was not expressed in any other ready forms to the public culture
在我接触到Little Richard的时候 An obvious thing is, when i was going up to Little Richard
他显然不想让他的声音变得好听 你知道 变得更容易被人们接受 He didn't like trying to make his voice nice, you know, acceptable
摩托头主唱 贝斯手
他故意要唱得很脏 He just sang it all with filthy
我很钦佩这一点 这就是为何我唱的时候 And i was admiring that, that's why i sing like, you know
我不想再歌声里夹杂任何优雅特别的东西 I don't try to put any special ass or grace in them
所见即所得 What you see is what you get
就是说Little Richard和Lemmy确实有某种联系？ So is there a connection with Little Richard and Lemmy?
是的 很大的联系 Yes, the big one, you know
如果那个年代我生活在美国 我就会是他 Coz if i lived here in those days, i'd be him
如果你听Little Richard的《Tutti Frutti》 他唱出的是25岁青年的感受 Little Richard,you know, you listen to"Tutti Frutti", it is for speaking of any 25
这首曲子离经叛道 and it is transgressive than all sorts of ways
他唱的时候好像要撕裂自己的肺 卖给酒吧似的 He is shredding his lungs and sells those to bars
那声音听起来就像要从音箱里扑出来 and its sound just leaps at those speakers
我想追溯的下一位早期的摇滚歌手 I wanna go back to another early rock n' roller
就是猫王对这段历史有什么贡献？ What is Elvis' contribution to this history?
猫王就是他那个年代的Metallica Well, Elvis was the Metallica of his time
猫王将摇滚从一小撮乐迷当中 Elvis took rock n roll out of its small fan base
德保罗大学教授
让它火遍了全美国 and made it safe for the rest of America
猫王宣传了摇滚 Elvis sold rock n' roll
如果没有猫王 我不知道摇滚接下来会变成怎样 Without Elvis, i don't know what would've happened to rock n' roll
猫王对我来说就是世界之主 Elvis for me was the boss of the world
黑色安息日鼓手
你知道 他巨大的影响力 you know, and he was incredibly influential
如果我能像猫王一样 我愿意放弃我的演出 I didn't want to do anything in concert than get a job like Elvis
在英国我们习惯于听稳稳当当的音乐 You know, in Great Britain we were used to safe listening
所以当猫王摇摆着屁股出现时 So when Elvis came up and shaking his ass
唱起来“典狱官乡村监狱里大摆筵席” You know, singing "The warden threw a party in the country jail"
“囚人乐队搭起班子放声哭泣” The prison band was there and they began to wail
你知道 这听起来真的太棒了 You know, it was just like...wow!
“典狱官乡村监狱里大摆筵席!” "The warden threw a party in the country jail!"
你知道 当你听过这首歌曲 然后转一下调 You know, if you just listen to that, and just transpose to
铁娘子主唱
“我拿着工资迎来周六晚上 我要花钱挥霍 即使吃光喝光也不存银行！” "Saturday night and i just got paid, gonna fool around and i don't save!"
我想 这就是猫王啊 I mean, it's Elvis
所以《监狱摇滚》也是一样 So 'Jailhouse Rock' things like that
你把他们转一下调 然后加点金属元素进去 you transpose them and put some metal to it
它就立刻变成了某种 all the sudden it becomes some kind of
布鲁斯为基础的具有金属味道的东西 blues based metallic type of thing
在我历数重金属乐队 Before i count the heavy metal bands
例如神兵天降的深紫乐队之前 like Deep Purple emerged down to the scene
60年代早期 in the early 1960's
摇滚经历了一个仿佛离重金属渐行渐远的阶段 Rock n' roll went through a phase that felt like the further staying from heavy metal
猫王参军 Little Richard 开始信教 Elvis joined the army, Little Richard went religious
Buddy Holly去世 Buddy Holly died
摇滚那时候是什么景象？ What was the state of rock at that time?
摇滚变得可怕怪异 Rock n' roll was scary and creepy
制作人/经理
猫王去了军队 其他人进了监狱 Elvis was going to the army, everybody else was in prison
忽然 Frankie Avalon出现了 Suddenly, Frankie Avalon showed up
唱着“维纳斯啊 如果你愿意 请送来一个让我心动的姑娘” Singing "Venus, if you will, please send a little girl for me to thrill"
“维纳斯啊 如果你愿意 请送来一个让我心动的姑娘” Singing "Venus, if you will, please send a little girl for me to thrill"
"一个需要我的吻与拥抱的姑娘" A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
一个和你一样充满魅力的姑娘 A girl with all the charms of you
所以我想当时美国音乐变得相当无毒无害 So i guess, music in America had become fairly safe
非常无毒无害 且非常模式化 Very safe and very manufactured
音乐会赞助商
有时我都不确定是哪个艺术家唱了这首曲子 Sometimes i am not even sure that that particular artist sings that song
他们有着特定的长相 一种东方式的后梳头长相 They had certain look to them, an eastern slicked back look
歌曲都很简单 比如唱唱泰迪熊 The song is very simple, the song is about teddy bear
唱唱情歌和简单的事 and falling in love with your girlfriend and simple things
所以那时充斥着伪摇滚 So there was a lot of fake rock n' roll
人们不停地伪造Funk 如果可以这么说的话 People were faking the funk, so to speak
文化领域还有一片空间 And there is a space
这个巨大的空缺 There is kind of certain emptiness where
需要有价值的新鲜刺激的歌曲去填补 there is a worthy new excitement that gonna be in the culture
“让我梦想成真” “Make my wish come true”
60年代早期 In the early 60's
摇滚乐跨越大西洋 从美国来到英国 Rock n' roll crossed the Atlantic from American to Britain
揭开了著名的“英式入侵”的序幕 Kicking off with the famously known as "the British Invasion"
这波入侵中 有一个乐队属于重金属版图的一员 and there was one band for this invasion as part of the story for heavy metal
就是The Kinks it's the Kinks
他们在《You really got me》这首歌中创造出开创性的音色 and the ground breaking sound of their song, "You really got me"
是什么给你灵感 让你创造出那样的吉他声 What was you inspiration for the guitar sound?
在Kinks第一张专辑中? on the first Kinks' record?
在录音开始之前 也就是《You really got me》录制前六个月 We had that sound 6 months before we recorded
奇想乐队吉他手
我们就已经做出那种声音了 Before "You really got me" was around
这是一种吉他上的实验 因为吉他音色局限很大 It was an experiment with the guitar for the guitar sound is very limited
只有调节音色和音量 没有别的 There are just tone control and volume, that's about it
我路过一家店 看到这个小箱子 叫做Elpico And i came across this little amp in a shop up the road, it was called Elpico
我就拿出了一个剃须刀 然后划破了音箱的纸盆 我也不知道我为何要那么做 And i just got an razer blade and started to cut the cone...speaker, i don't know why
我插上电之后 它发出了一种惊人的声音 And i plunged it in,then it made... an amazing sound
我继续在吉他上弹奏三指和弦 And so i was still doing this three finger chords on the guitar
不过这次我弹奏的是这种真正创新的 有韵律的 木头质感的声音 And now i got this really creative chiming woody sound
这就是我那台被划破的音箱发出的声音 with my amp speaker slashed
这个和弦现在听起来很宏大 像是发现了新大陆 So this chord now sounds immense, it was like discovering something
我更像一个发明家而非音乐家 more like an inventor than a musician
我所听到的第一首有吉他脏音的歌曲就是《You really got me》 The first dirty guitar that i've heard is "You really got me"
最早出现的那个 The very early...
简直就像恶魔 was so like demonic
深紫/黑安前主唱
能让爸妈惊呼 made mamas and dads go
“哦 快关掉 这太邪恶了！” "Oh, turn it off, it's so... evil!"
《You really got me》是关于重大的 关于规则表达和公平 "You really got me"is about ... great, it's about rule, expression and fairness
它跟那些抱怨 进餐 中产阶级的行为都没有任何关系 So it's not about whining and dining, the middle class behavior
这就是关于 我喜欢你 我要你 It's about i like you, i wanna xx you
在60年代初 当乐队演出在英国处于上升期时 In the early 60's, when the singing in England was on an upswing
俱乐部规模不断变大 现场人群也在不断扩充 The clubs were getting bigger, the crowds were getting bigger
而听众的声音也随之越来越大 整个演出环境也越来越嘈杂 and it was also getting louder, and the environment was louder
ZZ TOP吉他手 主唱
音乐家希望自己的声音不会被淹没 and musicians wanted to be heard
“快给我这种声音 我需要它 越响越好” "Give me some of this, i wanna keep that sound and i just want it louder!"
完全是大音量的美学 the whole aesthetic of loud
德保罗大学 教授
你会选谁作为最重要的金属先驱？ I mean, if, you know, who would you cite as the most important precursor of metal?
我会选Jim Marshall 那个发明了Marshall音箱的人 I will cite Jim Marshall, who developed the Marshall amps
专为大音量而生 to make for loudness
在摇滚乐发展的60年代 As rock music developed in 60'
音乐家们开始在更大的场馆演出 musicians started to play in larger venues
于是他们需要更精良的设备和技术去配合音箱 So they needed technology and equipment to fill those amps
没有任何一个名字比Marshall更能与重型和音量联系起来 and there is no name that is more associated with heaviness and volume than Marshall
于是我们来到英国的这间工厂 去发现 So we've come to the factory here in England to find out
为什么Marshall能成为重金属音乐的标志性的音箱？ Why it is the Marshall became the amplifier that was iconic of heavy metal music?
我还听说他们能将音量最大调到11 I've also heard that they got their amp that goes up to 11
这我一定要去看看 and that is just something i have to see
你能跟我讲下Marshall音箱如何生产的吗？ Can you tell me how Marshall amps got started?
我爸 早在他想制造出自己第一台音箱之前 Dad.. long before he dreamed to make him an amplifier
Marshall音箱成员
他的专长是打鼓 然后他开了一家卖鼓的商店 and his specialty was drumming till he started the drum shop
从那时起 很多乐队和鼓手都来了 还有一些吉他手 And from that, you know a lot of bands were coming, a lot of drummers were coming, the other being guitarists
一名年轻小伙子走进商店 他是当地人 叫Pete Townshend A young lad came in, local lad Pete Townshend
他以前也在店里闲逛 Yes, he used to hang around in the shop
那时其他人都在用Fender Bassman 但是Pete觉得这声音不是他想要的 And the other used the Fender Bassman that wasn't quite giving Pete quite the sound he wanted
于是他们就着手改造 So dad set about changing really
到1962年初 那时他们做了四五个原型机 And then i think they did four or five prototypes in the early days in 62'
然后最终制造出一台 Pete Townshend听到后说：“这声音真棒” And they finally built one, Pete Townshend said,"That's a great sound "
他就想用这台音箱 这就是一切的开始 And so he wanted to use it, that's how it started
Jim Marshall 大体上吸取了Fender音箱和Vox AC30的特点 创造了一个新的野兽：Marshall Jim Marshall, basically took the Fender amp and Vox AC30, and he created a new animal: A Marshall
100瓦的功率 在当时是前所未有的 基本上就是一个野兽 100 watts, which was unheard of, it was a beast basically
蝎子乐队吉他手
你知道 最初它所有的部件都做成了一体式的 Originally,it set was all one piece, you know
摩托头主唱 贝斯手
想把它装进车里太难了 路上也没货车能装下它 And like it was a... burden to carry in a van, there was no van on the road that you can put it into
我爸那时跟Pete说它太重了 Dad said to Pete at that time that it was just too heavy
Pete跟大家说：“没事 我有乐队班子帮忙搬了” And Pete said to them all,"It's ok, i got roadies now"
于是他做了8个12寸的箱体 还是大号的12寸 So he built this eight by twelve cabinet, it was big twelve you know
几个月后吧 Pete回到店里 问：“这是不是太重了?” I think a couple months later, Peter came back in and said,"Is it too heavy?"
这就是他制造分体音箱的原因 And that is why he built the first stack
他制造了底箱和角箱的组合 每个都有4个12寸的扩音器 So he built the four by twelve bottom cab and angled cab
它几乎小了一半 你知道 这是Marshall最牛的想法 It was sort of in half, Marshall got his suckest idea in that, you know
所以我想如果没有这项发明 我们就不会有硬摇滚和重金属了 So we didn't really have metal or hard rock without that invention, i guess
是的 不会有了 Townshend宣传工作做得不错 No, that's right, Townshend did you a great service
The Who在演出中第一次使用了Marshall的分体音箱 所有人都没见过这东西 The Who came on with this first Marshall stack that anybody had ever seen
喔 你就像被钉住了 被那种纯粹有力的吉他声音钉在椅背上 Wow, you were pinned, pinned back with this sheer riff power of it
深紫乐队鼓手
肉体和情感都被钉住了 I mean, physical and moving
那种令人震撼 目眩神迷 不可思议的声音 And it was shocking and dazzling and fantastic
当然 它开启了一场革命 你知道 Of course, that started the revolution, you know
下个乐队就必须同样大声 或者声音更大 And next band had to be just as loud, or louder
依靠Marshall分体音箱的力量 The Who开启了大音量的历程 Backed by Marshall stacks, The Who set an evolution of volume raise,
英国所有乐队都开始竞相争取最大声的名号 and bands were now competing to be the loudest in all of Britain
但是此时有一个来自美国的音乐家 But then there was one musician from America
将摇滚吉他声音升华 超越仅仅依赖音量和失真的境界 Who expanded the sound of rock guitar beyond just volume and distortion
Hendrix 为重型音乐概念的推进做了些什么？ What was it that Hendrix did that pushed that concept of heaviness in music?
Hendrix所做的就是将电吉他音乐领域扩展到了无人能及的高度 What Hendrix did was expand the music horizon of electric guitar to the degree that no one else has
制作人
他对声音的创新 还有他演奏的方式 拓展了音乐的界限 The greatest innovative sounds, the playing, stretching the boundaries, you know
当他在1966年忽然出现在大家视野中时 When he broke on the scene in 1966
人们都惊呼: “喔 我们从来没听过这种东西！” People were going, "Wow, we would never heard anything like this"
一传十十传百 大家都说：“嘿 你赶紧听听Jim Hendrix吧！” It was like a wildfire, message spread,"Hey, you gotta come and check out this guy, Jim Hendrix"
他真不可思议 左手弹琴 还倒转琴 He is incredible, plays left-handed and up side down
他能用牙齿弹奏 还在脑袋后面摆弄 and he does stuff with his teeth, behind his head
你之前肯定没见过这情景 也没听过他这样的音乐 You've never seen anything like it, and you've never heard anything like it
当Hendrix出现的时候 忘了其他吧 这完全是另一个世界 When Hendrix came,forget about it, it was just the whole other world
爱丽丝库伯鼓手
一切都变得非常电音 非常失真 Everything got very electric, very distorted
而人们似乎还想让他愈演愈烈 and people tried to push the levels even further
因为现在他们有效果器了 Coz now they had the Fuzz-tones
以前只会在录音室出现的声音 All these sounds they were developing in the studio
现在他们制造的这些小玩意 你就可以带着上路 they now made gizmos that you can take on the road with you
只要一用上它们 你就是世界上最有失真效果的吉他手 Plug them in, i would say you can be the most distorted guitar player in the world
为什么人们渴望音乐中的失真效果？这个问题很有趣 It's an interesting question why distortion became desirable in music
愤怒反抗机器吉他手
我记得我第一次买的是Big Muff失真单块 I remember the first time that i bought a Big Muff distortion pedal
在那之前我就会弹一些不怎么悦耳的叮叮咚咚的声音 Until then i'd been playing these horrible sort of tinkling and jangling
但是当我踩下效果器音块的时候 它就立刻摇滚起来了！ But as soon as i stepped on that thing, it was rock n' roll!
它一下子就变成了摇滚乐！ It was instantly rock n' roll music!
我思考了一下 我找不到关于这种感觉的解释 And then, i thought something to it, i don't think there is a way to you know, electrolyte it
有种深入DNA的东西 There is something deep in the DNA that
对那种音箱放大的失真效果产生共鸣 response to the sound of an overridden amplifier
就那么一刻 世界都变得来劲了 哈哈 All of a sudden, the world is a little bit more exciting, haha
只需要调大音量 你就能通过吉他 通过音箱得到失真的效果 Just turning up the volume, and you got some distortion trough the amps, through the guitars
犹大牧师主唱
它是各种声音原始的胚胎 It's all kind of old embryos of sound
其他音乐家学会用它 思考假如我给吉他加点失真效果 and other musicians are picking it up and thinking what if i take a bit of that guitar distortion
然后再加入巨大的低音鼓声 and that with the big bass drum sound
还有雷霆般的贝斯声 put a thundering bass guitar
还有主唱的尖叫 它听起来会是什么样呢？ and a screaming vocal, what is that gonna sound like?
对我来说 它听起来就像是重金属音乐的开端 Well, to me, it is gonna sound like a heavy metal band's beginning
到目前为止 我明白了金属的起源要远比我预想的复杂的多 What i've learned so far is the origins of metal are way more complex than i first thought
人们创造着重型音响效果 People have been creating bombastic sounds
用以释放反抗和好战的情绪 that channel feelings or rebellion and aggression
这已经持续好几百年了 for hundred of years
所以从理论上讲 And so on a conceptual level
金属完全不是新鲜事 Metal isn't new at all
但是让我最为吃惊的是 But i think what surprises me most
是无论金属乐里 is this sense of community
还是像WACKEN这样的地方 我所体会到的这种归属感 也并非是全新的 that i feel in metal and the places like WACKEN isn't new either
自从猫王摇摆着他的臀部 或者Little Richard对着麦克风怒吼 Ever since Elvis gyrated his hips, or little Richard screamed in the microphone
音乐已经为年轻人提供了属于他们自己的归属感 music has provided young people with a community to belong to
所以当我随着这系列纪录片探索的时候 我从根本上感受到 And so ultimately what i feel (when) i've phased within this series
不论是金属乐还是金属迷 is the realization that metal and us metal heads
都属于这个巨大的我难以想象的故事中的一部分 are part of a much bigger story than i ever could have imagine
