*Suave*
"去他的 我们要签下这个"
"Man, fuck it. We're gonna sign this."
"我去 这就是我们的第一次签约吗"
"What? This is gonna be our first signing?"
*Rico*
*Rico*
"这就是我们唱片公♥司♥将要赖以成名的东西吗"
"This what we're going to be known for as a record company?"
他说 "老子不管 我们就要签它"
He goes, "I don't care. We're just signing it."
我说 "好吧 如果我们要签这个"
I said, "Well, if we're gonna sign this,"
"那我得去找点不同寻常的艺人"
"I'm gonna go find something that is so out there"
"这样别人就不知道我们在打什么主意了"
"that people won't know what the heck we're doing."
于是我就开始寻找
So I hit the road,
最后找到了一个叫做Primus的组合
and I end up finding a group called Primus.
*哈喽 Krinkle先生*
*Hello, Mr. Krinkle*
*今天过得好吗*
*How are you today?*
*有谣言说你的伙伴将要离开*
*Seems the rumors are about your team might move away*
奇怪的是 Primus喜欢古怪的东西
The odd part was Primus liked odd things in the world,
而他们和我们签约的原因之一 就是
and one of the reasons they signed with us is
他们觉得我们酷毙了
because they thought it was the coolest thing
因为我们公♥司♥竟然签下了
that we had a company that had
想想吧
Go figure.
我想不到Gerardo会引起这么大轰动
I didn't know Gerardo would be a hit,
但它就是这么轰动
but it was.
巨大的轰动 让我们名声大噪
Huge hit. Put us on the map.
所以转眼之间
So next thing you know,
像是每一个人都想和Interscope合作了
it felt like everyone wanted to be with Interscope.
它是完完全全对所有人开放的
It was a complete free-for-all.
Primus Helmet 4 Non Blondes
Primus, Helmet, 4 Non Blondes.
Helmet是一支1989年成立于美国纽约的另类金属乐队
4 Non Blondes成立于1989年的另类摇滚乐队
Tom Whalley签下了Tupac
Tupac was signed by Tom Whalley,
再就是Mark Wahlberg
and then Mark Wahlberg,
靠Marky Mark这个名字出了名
who was known as Marky Mark,
Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch 由Mark Wahlberg领导的说唱组合
1991年发表第一张专辑
还有他兄弟 Donny
with his brother, Donny.
还有 No Doubt乐队
And No Doubt.
你叫什么名字 - 我是Gwen
What's your name? - I'm Gwen.
Gwen现在正准备粘贴她的演出服
Gwen is now going to glue her costume.
跟我来 好 开始了
Follow me. Okay, here we go.
你真的想当一个超级明星
Is it true that you wanna be a big star
然后环球巡演吗
and tour the... the world?
对 我想做明星 没错
Yes. I wanna be a star. Yeah.
*有时候*
*Sometimes*
我第一次遇到Jimmy是在一个展演会上
The first time I met Jimmy was at a showcase.
大概在1991年
Probably '91.
我不知道Interscope这个厂牌是什么
I had no idea what Interscope Records was.
我不知道Jimmy Iovine是谁
I didn't know who Jimmy Iovine was.
*我年少时选择了一条路*
*I chose a road when I was young*
*去追寻快乐 诱惑战胜了理性*
*In search of fun, temptation won*
*我交出了所有的灵魂*
*And all my soul I did surrender*
那里只有他们看着我们表演
It was just them there and us playing,
没有别的观众
and there was no audience.
而且我们知道他们这些人
And we knew that these were, like, guys
可以帮我们制♥作♥唱片
that can help us make a record,
但我特别无知
but I was super naive.
我不知道任何关于签约的事情
I didn't know anything about getting signed.
我只是唱歌♥ 写歌♥ 做演出服
I just sang and wrote songs and made clothes.
*有几分*
*...somewhat*
*像是藏在灯罩后的灯泡*
*Like a bulb behind a shade and...*
但我记得Jimmy朝我走过来
But I remember Jimmy came up to me
然后稍稍把我拉到一旁 对我说
and kind of pulled me aside, and he said to me,
"六年内 你会成为一个明星"
"You're gonna be a star in six years."
我就心想 "好 首先"
And I was like... "Okay, first of all,"
"在快到六年的时候我大概要有十个孩子"
"I'm gonna have, like, 10 kids by the time six years comes around,"
"而且我也不会还在做这个"
"And I won't be doing this still."
"还有 你是谁 为什么是六年"
"And, um, who are you? And why six years?"
"这么个奇怪的数字" 但是他说的都对了
"That's a weird number." You know, but he was right.
我尚未经历我必须经历的坎儿
I hadn't gone through what I needed to go through
去创作出那种真正会
to write the record that was gonna actually
与众不同又触及人心的唱片 你知道吗
make a difference and touch people, you know?
所以后来他给我们买♥♥了个八音轨的录音机
And so he bought us an 8-track recorder,
我们在我们的车♥库♥里搭了录音室
we built a studio in our garage,
然后我们过去 学习创作音乐
and we went in there, and we learned how to write music.
但我们刚写了几首歌♥就觉得
But we write, like, a few songs and be like,
"可以了 去拿给Jimmy听听"
"Okay, let's go play it for Jimmy."
然后就是总是重蹈覆辙
And it would always be, like, a bit of a, like...
"再写一首 再写一首 再去写一首"
"Write another song. Write another song. Write another song."
我们之间形成了一个很有挫败感的关系
And it's a frustrating relationship,
因为你作为一个音乐人 你以为你工作可以结束了的时候
because when you're an artist, you think you're done,
在他看来 你的工作永远不会结束
and in his mind, you're never done.
1991年我们基本没发行什么唱片
We had very few releases in '91.
而Jimmy作为一个非常出名又有创造力的制♥作♥人
And Jimmy was a renowned producer, very creative,
作为商人却并不出名
but he wasn't renowned as a business man.
所以 你知道的 我和公♥司♥管理人呆在一起并不舒服
So, you know, I didn't feel comfortable around executives.
让我舒服的是那些音乐人和唱片制♥作♥人
I felt comfortable around artists and record producers,
因为他们懂得如何发掘出音乐人身上的闪光处
because they know how to get the best out of artists.
于是 我找到了自己的位置 我说
And then I found my niche. I said,
"好 我去发掘优秀的制♥作♥人 然后我来开♥发♥他们"
"Okay, I gotta find great producers, and I produce them."
*为什么你要这么对我*
*Why are you doing this to me?*
*我没有成为我所应当吗*
*Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?*
我们第一次真正的冒险是签下Nine Inch Nails
Our first real adventure was getting Nine Inch Nails.
*我觉得你欠我*
*I think you owe me*
*一个超郑重的道歉 糟糕的谎言*
*A great big apology, terrible lie*
Jimmy最初嗅到Nine Inch Nails是在1991年
1991 was when Jimmy first got a sniff of Nine Inch Nails.
*糟糕的谎言* - 苍了个天 这家伙牛逼炸了
*Terrible lie* - Holy shit, this guy's incredible.
每一天的对话都是 "我们得签下Nine Inch Nails"
Every day conversations about, "We gotta get Nine Inch Nails."
*糟糕的谎言* - 但它并不只是个
*Terrible lie* - But it wasn't just a band
待在自♥由♥市场上每个人都能去签的乐队
on the free market that everybody was trying to sign.
他们已经被一个厂牌签了 - *糟糕的谎言*
They were signed to a label... - *Terrible lie*
而他们巨特么讨厌那个厂牌
...and they fucking hated that label.
TVT就纯粹是个粪池
TVT was just a collection of shit.
而且那个运营这个厂牌的人
And the guy who ran that label
不打算让任何人活得舒坦
wasn't gonna make anybody's lives easy.
Trent和我开始产生了点儿不愉快
Trent and I began to have a little bit of... difficulty.
他已经签了七张专辑
He had 'em signed for seven albums,
而业界的每个人都知道他们想离开那个厂牌
and everybody in the business knew they wanted off the label.
这就是我个人一直在寻找的
This is what, personally, I'm looking for,
下一个可以写这种歌♥词 拥有这种态度的人
that next guy that can write these lyrics and have this attitude,
而且他舞台表现力十足
and he had the stage presence.
自己制♥作♥了那些唱片
He produced those records himself.
他具备了一切
He had every ounce of it.
*我多么想要相信*
*I want so much to believe*
你知道么 那个
You know, the thing...
我是说 那时候最打击我的事情就是
I mean, the thing that was so frustrating to me at that time was,
我想要的贯彻整个人生 就是站在舞台上做这些
my whole life I knew I wanted to be on stage doing this.
而且我记得它是缓慢积累而成的
And I remember it was this slow build,
每一个再微小的瞬间你也可以体会到
where each little moment you could savor,
比如 在大学电台里第一次听到我的歌♥
like, hearing my song on college radio first time.
"我的天呐" 你能体会那种感觉吗
"Holy shit!" You know, that was, like,
世上最美好的事情
the greatest thing in the world.
我经历了一系列的努力和运气 最终
I'd finally, through a combination of hard work and luck,
敲开了成功的大门 签约了TVT
cracked the door open, signed to TVT.
然后我录了好多让我们引以为傲的歌♥
Then I recorded a collection of songs that we felt proud of,
拿给Gottlieb听 然后他说
turned it in to Gottlieb, and then he said,
"呃 这张唱片流产了"
"Well, this record's an abortion."
对于从未制♥作♥过的人来说那真是一记重击
And that's a blow coming when you've never made a record before.
"他出过这么多唱片 可能他懂得比我多"
"He's put records out. Maybe he knows more than I do."
他还说 "你搞砸了"
And he said, "You fucked up"
"本来可以很好的职业生涯"
"what could've been a good career."
但我们推出的就是那张专辑
But that was the album, and we put it out,
还做了巡演
and we just toured.
于是每一个小阶段的逐步成功
And as each small tier of success started happening,
唱片开始能卖♥♥得出去了
the record started to sell.
然后我以为那足以让Gottlieb说
