| In search of my Rock Time 2 -- Def Leppard 聽搖滾樂跟流行樂的差別或許就在於不盲目跟隨市場主流的音樂，但如果當你遇到流行的搖滾樂又該怎麼說呢？ 被視為主流重金屬的威豹合唱團 (Def Leppard ) 似乎就面臨著這樣的兩難，既要搖滾又要流行，但或許這對他們來說從來都不是什麼兩難的問題吧！既在搖滾樂史上留名又在市場上大獲其勝，反而是得到名利雙收的”雙贏” ！ 以80年代最有名的兩張專輯 -- 1983年的 "PYROMANIA“ 及1987年的 “HYSTERIA” 來說，其銷售量恐怕都是大部分的搖滾樂團唱一輩子都無法企及的數字，這在威豹合唱團 (Def Leppard ) 的官網有著詳細的說明： 1983 "PYROMANIA" In January, the "PYROMANIA" album and "PHOTOGRAPH" single are released to massive acclaim and sales. In the US, the LP sells 1987 "HYSTERIA" In January, the recordings of the fourth album are finished. In February, another album's worth of tracks are recorded - mostly live in the studio, to be used for B-sides. After kicking off the world tour in the 在維基百科中另外也提到了威豹合唱團 (Def Leppard ) 的豐功偉業： Def Leppard is one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling over 10 million copies each in the 與鐵娘子合唱團 (Iron Maiden) 同樣身為 New Wave of British Heavy Metal 的大將，現在回頭再聽威豹合唱團 (Def Leppard ) 的感覺似乎是高下立判，但我想最初接觸這些樂團的時候，我應該還無法明瞭這種差異性吧！ 威豹合唱團 (Def Leppard ) 芭樂式的搖滾抒情歌曲不少，就讓我挑一首當初喜歡的單曲〈Too Late For Love〉，勉強說來”少男情懷總是癡”，雖然當初我是一個對象也沒有啊！ Def Leppard » Too Late For Love Lyrics Somewhere in the distance I hear the bells ring Darkness settles on the town as the children start to sing The lady 'cross the street she shuts out the night There's a cast of thousands waiting as she turns out the light But it's too late, too late, too late Too late for love Yes it's too late too late, too late Too late for love London boys are staring as the girls go hand in hand With a pocket full of innocence, their entrance is grand And the Queen of the dream stands before them all She stretches out her hand as the curtains start to fall Standing by the trapdoor aware of me and you Are the actor and the clown their waiting for their cue And there's a lady over there she's acting pretty cool But when it comes to playing life she's always playin' the fool 網路參考資料： http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Leppard Def Leppard is a hard rock and heavy metal band from Sheffield, England, which formed in 1977 and has been identified as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement. The band consists of Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (lead guitar), Vivian Campbell (lead guitar), Rick Savage (bass guitar), and Rick Allen (drums). The band has sold over 65 millions albums worldwide, and have two albums with RIAA diamond certification, Pyromania and Hysteria. However, even though they were often considered one of the top bands of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal movement of the late 1970s, in the mid-1980s the band were falsely associated with the growing glam metal scene, mainly due to their mainstream success and glossy production. To their defense, Def Leppard have expressed dislike of the "glam metal" label as it did not accurately describe their look or musical style. 官方網站： http://www.defleppard.com/ |
