英文歌词:


Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped 1 Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
You spread the word around
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting 2 out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boy's are back, the boys are back
The boy's are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boy's are back in town again


       


       单凭70年代中期的杰作The Boys Are Back In Town给重金属/硬摇滚乐迷带来的巨大震撼,THIN LIZZY就足以成为70年代摇滚乐坛的杰出代表之一;然而,这支本应名垂千古的乐队却并没有得到人们足够的尊敬,这不能不说是摇滚乐历史上的一个遗憾。


  THIN LIZZY于60年代末期由爱尔兰籍主唱/词曲作者/贝司手Phil Lynott一手创建。如果单从表面上看,THIN LIZZY最大的特点就是其灵魂人物Lynott是一名黑人,这在白人占绝对统治地位的硬摇滚界是相当少见的。然而,肤色的差异并不能说明音乐上的任何问题——THIN LIZZY的音乐最大的特点是通过犀利而富于攻击性的双主音吉他演奏以一种浪漫主义手法来表达劳动阶层的情感世界。作为乐队的创作核心,Lynott对劳动者阶层的生活有着睿智而深入的体会和思考,因此他的创作都是围绕着如实反映劳动阶层的情感世界展开的——而这似乎也正是Bob Dylan、Bruce Springsteen们所要表达的东西。在THIN LIZZY的作品中, 总是能够感觉到Lynott在创作过程中所表露出的一种局外人般的冷静——他更象是一个游离于歌曲之外的浪漫主义者、一个特立独行的诗人或者一个苦苦隐忍的单相思者。也许你可以在THIN LIZZY的作品中发现其中存在一些过于古板的看法或者是一些自以为是的武断念头,但Lynott固有的那种无与伦比的个人魅力使得这些瑕疵与出色的音乐相比是那么的微不足道。


  THIN LIZZY 起初发行的几张专辑基本都是柔软的布鲁斯摇滚,并没有给乐队带来多大影响,但在其中已经开始表露出乐队的非凡能力。1975年,乐队终于确立了一个满意的阵容——此时的THIN LIZZY包括Lynott本人、两名吉他手Brian Robertson和Scott Gorham以及鼓手Brian Downey,他们以这个阵容制作了杰出的专辑Fighting。这张专辑中,乐队终于转变为重型摇滚风格,Lynott厚重而带有灵歌味道的演唱、 Gorham和Robertson天衣无缝的双吉他配合以及Downey充满灵气且仿佛具有爆炸般力度的鼓击无疑使得这张专辑成为了重金属/硬摇滚历史上的经典。


  随后的专辑Jailbreak更是把THIN LIZZY带到了一个新的高度——其中的The Boys Are Back In Town是一首献给劳动阶级的赞歌,这首歌实际上有些类似于Bruce Springsteen的典型风格,但其中强劲的和弦则带有些The Who的特色。这首歌作为专辑的首支单曲发行后,受到了电台以及平民百姓广泛的欢迎,其结果就是给乐队带来了一份新的合同以及在随后的十几年中媒体对乐队始终保持着一定的关注(直到现在,这首歌甚至还被用作啤酒的广告歌曲)。


  尽管当时的乐评家们对THIN LIZZY并无褒奖之词(实际上,这些所谓的乐评家也正是70年代对重金属/硬摇滚音乐进行口诛笔伐的主力乾将),但THIN LIZZY还是坚定地开始了他们的巡演。不过,他们的现场演出也实在是有失水准,走马灯般的更换吉他手也无济于事——Eric Bell、Gary Moore、Brian Robertson、Snowy White、John Sykes都曾和乐队另一位吉他手Scott Gorham同台演出——现场演出的水平差成了THIN LIZZY的痼疾。


  乐队在Jailbreak之后发行的专辑风格变得愈发快速、激烈,这使得一些乐迷开始不能接受乐队风格的变化。Lynott意识到了这一点,并开始创作一些沿用 The Boys Are Back In Town格式的歌曲,以期能够象前者那样再次获得巨大成功。他把这些歌用串场音乐完整地衔接起来以构成当时正是摇滚乐时尚的概念专辑,这一点也反映出了 Lynott的雄心壮志。但可惜的是,没有一首歌能够达到The Boys的高度。而朋克乐的兴起对于THIN LIZZY而言更是雪上加霜——尽管Lynott对朋克乐是持赞同态度的,但对于朋克乐迷来讲,THIN LIZZY的音乐正是那种他们所要反对的典型的老古董,也更象那些过气了的摇滚明星,这使得乐队处于一种很尴尬的境地。因此尽管乐队拥有的歌迷数量依然庞大,但开始逐渐地减少。


  乐队的这种悲惨处境一直延续到80年代中期。在这期间,THIN LIZZY一直没有什么突出的表现,Lynott个人录制了一些阶级色彩和种族色彩比以前更强烈的个人专辑,并创作了一部文学作品,然后如同很多其他摇滚明星一样成为了长期服用海洛因、可卡因以及酗酒等恶习的受害者——Lynott于1986年去世,年仅35岁。


  乐队存在期间及解体前后,曾经在THIN LIZZY中任职的吉他手也都各自取得了其他成就:Scott Gorham组建了21 GUNS乐队并发表了几张专辑;而Brian Robertson的主要事迹包括组建NWOBHM乐队WILD HORSES和短时间加入MOTORHEAD(录制了专辑Another Perfect Day),最后又帮助瑞典的非主流乐队LOTUS录制了几张专辑;Gary Moore早已是自成一派的吉他大师;John Sykes则一直是英国重金属的乾将,在WHITESNAKE,BLUE MURDER,TIGERS OF PAN 3 TANG中都有出色表现;Eric Bell和Snowy White后来都转向blues,各自都取得了不俗的成绩。看来THIN LIZZY真是吉他大师的摇篮啊。


  现在,数以万计的非主流乐队宣称THIN LIZZY对他们产生了巨大的影响,媒体也开始把注意力重新集中到这支尘封已久的老乐队上,于是在1999年传出了 THIN LIZZY重组的消息。重组的THIN LIZZY阵容包括吉他手Scott Gorman和John Sykes,键盘手Darren Wharton、贝司手Marco Mendoza以及鼓手Tommy ALdridgy。乐队在欧洲进行了一系列演出后仅用了一个晚上就制作出现场专辑(于2000年夏季发行)并开始美国巡演。
