已上市的《Minutes to Midnight》是linkin park的第三张录音室专辑,专辑标题来自一个“末日时钟”的概念——1974年一群芝加哥大学的原子科学家创立了一个名为“末日时钟(Doomsday Clock)”的虚拟定时器,来警告人类将因为过度使用核武器,而最终导致自我灭亡。Midnight就是他们设定的灭亡之时,经过前前后后18次调整,在核武器、天气异常以环境污染影响下的今天,世界距离毁灭的Midnight也只剩五分钟的时间。
他们广受好评的第三张专辑《末日警钟·毁灭·新生》(Minutes to Midnight),在美国上市的第一周就售出623,000张,成为美国2007年单周销量最高的一张专辑。同时,此专辑在超过30个国家和地区占据了专辑榜头名,包括英国、德国、法国、中国香港和南非,在澳大利亚、加拿大、日本和新加坡更是取得了白金唱片的佳绩。这张专辑由传奇音乐制作人里克·鲁宾(Rick Rubin)和乐队的领军人物麦克(Mike Shinoda),历时14个月,共同制作而成。为这张新专辑,乐队共录制了150余首歌,并从中精选出13首完成了现在的这张专辑。
在中国,林肯公园拥有数量庞大的歌迷群体。早在2004年,当其第二张专辑“流星圣殿”在中国发行时,华纳唱片曾发起过“把LP带到中国来”(Bring LP to China)的活动,当时得到了众多乐迷的积极响应。他们的新歌“原来的我”(What I’ve Done),在中国主要网站的下载量已经接近百万,排名2007年欧美艺人的第一位。可以说林肯公园已经成为最受中国乐迷欢迎的西方摇滚乐队。
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complaind. This note should be pretty easy to understand.All the warnings from the Punk Rock 101 Courses over the years, it's my first introduction to the, shall we say ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has been proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to, as well as creating music, along with really writing something for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things,for example when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowd begins. It doesn't affect me in the way which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love and relish the love and admiration from the crowd,which is something I totally admire and envy.
The fact is,I can't fool you, any of you. It simply isn't fair to you,or to me. The worst crime can think of would be to pull people off by faking it, pretending as if I'm having one 100% fun.
Sometimes I feeln as though I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on-stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it, and I do,God believe me, I do, but it's not enough. I appreciate the fact that I, and we, have affected, and entertained a lot of people. I must be one of the narcisists who only appreciate things when they're alone. I'm too sensitive,I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasm.But, what's sad is our child. On our last three tours, I've had a much better appreciation of all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music. But I still can't get out the frustration, the guilt, and the sympathy I have for everybody. There is good in all of us, and I simply love people too much. So much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little sensitive unappreciative pisces Jesus man! why don't you just enjoy it? I dont know!
I have a of a wide who sweats ambition and empadny,and a daughter who reminds me to much of what I use to be.full of love and joy, every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I cant stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable self destructive, deathrocker she become.
I have it good, very good,and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along and have empathy. Empathy only because I love and feel for people too much I guess.Thank you from the pit of my burning nauseas stomach for your letters and concern during the last years. I'm too much of a neurotic moody person and I don't have the passion anymore,so remember, it's better to burn out, than fade away.
Peace, love, empathy,
Kurt Cobain
Frances and Courtney,
I'll be at your altar.
Please keep going Courtney
for Frances
for her life which will be so much
happier without me.
I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU! Kurt妻子在他死后的。。。(很感人)
I don't know what to say. I feel the same way you
guys do. If you guys don't think... to sit in this
room where he played guitar and sang, and feel so
honored to be near him, you're crazy... Anyway, he
left a note, it's more like a letter to the fucking
editor. I don't know what happened. I mean it was
gonna happen, but it could've happened when he was 40.
He always said he was gonna outlive everybody and be
a hundred and twenty. I'm not gonna read you all the
note 'cause it's none of the rest of your fucking
business. But some of it is to you. I don't really
think it takes away his dignity to read this considering
that it's addressed to most of you. He's such an
asshole. I want you all to say 'asshole' really loud.
"This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over
the years since my first introduction to the shall
we say, ethics involved with independence and embracement
of your community, it's proven to be very true.
"I haven't felt the excitment of listening to as well
as creating music, along with really writing something,
for too many years now.
"I feel guilty beyond words about these things --
for example, when we're backstage and the light go
out and the roar of the crowd begins, it doesn't
affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury,
who seemed to love and relish the love and adoration
of the crowd."
Well, Kurt, so fucking what -- then don't be a rock
star you asshole.
"Which is something I totally admire and envy. The
fact that I can't fool you, any one of you, it simply
isn't fair to you or to me. The worst crime I could
think of would be to pull people off by faking it,
pretending as if I'm having 100% fun"
Well Kurt, the worst crime I can think of is for you
to just continue being a rock star when you fucking
hate it, just fucking stop.
"Sometimes I feel as I should have a punch-in
time-clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried
everything within my power to appreciate it, and I do,
God believe me I do, but it's not enough. I appreciate
the fact that I and we have effected and entertained
a lot of people. I must be one of those narcissists
who only appreciate things when they're alone. I'm too
sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain
the enthusiasm I once had as a child. On our last 3 tours
I've had a much better appreciation of all the people
I know personally, and as fans of our music, but I still
can't get out the frustration to gather the empathy I
have for everybody. There's good in all of us and I simply
love people too much."
So why didn't you just fucking stay?
"So much that it makes me feel just too fucking sad.
Sad little sensative unappreciative Pieces --"
Jesus man oh shut up.. bastard
Why didn't you just enjoy it? I don't know. Then he goes on
to say personal things to me that are none of your damn
business; personal things to Frances that are none of
your damn business.
"I had a good marriage, and for that I'm grateful. But
since the age of seven, I've become hateful toward all
humans in general only because it seems so easy for
people to get along that have empathy."
Empathy?
"Only because I love and feel for people too much I guess
Thank you all from the pit of my burning nauseous stomach
for your letters and concern during the last years. I'm
pretty much of an erratic moody person and I don't have the
passion anymore. Peace, Love, Empathy, Kurt Cobain."
And there is some more personal things that is none of your
damn business. And just remember: this is all bullshit...
And I'm laying in our bed, and I'm really sorry. And I feel
the same way you do. I'm really sorry you guys. I don't know
what I could have done. I wish I'd been here. I wish I hadn't
listened to other people, but I did.
Every night I've been sleeping with his mother, and I wake
up in the morning and think it's him because his body's sort
of the same.
