How did the album tie into your work with Queen?
怎么平衡做专辑和你跟皇后的合作?
It was like a back and forth thing: I was alternating. So it actually worked out really well. During that time I had this demo of a song that I played for Brian May and I said, “Do you want to play guitar on this?” and he said, “yeah”. So that was exciting. On Lucy.
差不多是交替进行的:我在不同角色间转换。一切都很顺利。有一次我给布莱恩梅听了一首样曲,然后我问他:“你想为这个用吉他伴奏吗?”他说:“好。”太让人激动了。那首《露西》。
I guess one of your climaxes with Queen, in London anyway, was your New Year performance. Which just blew up!
我猜你和皇后的高潮,至少在伦敦,是那场新年歌会吧。超震撼啊!
It was just so much fun. When they told me that we were going to get to do that I was, like, “really?”
实在太好玩了。当他们告诉我我们得到那个机会的时候,我只说了句:“真的?”
“I’m busy that evening, sorry!”
“大年夜我有事,不好意思!”
[Laughs] The second thought was “What am I going to wear?” Literally I was like, “Red, I’m feeling red this year.” Red for New Years, festive!
(笑)反应过来才想,“我应该穿啥呢?”真的,我捉摸着,“红色吧,今年觉着挺红的。”新年就要穿大红色,喜庆!
You’ve had plenty of the Freddie comparisons. But what have you learned from Freddie? What has he given you?
有很多人把你和佛莱迪作比较。你从佛莱迪身上学到了什么?他给了你什么启发?
When I watch the old footage of him, I am just blown away. He was just so free onstage. I don’t think it was super planned out in his head.
当我看到他以前的录像,我完全被震住了。他在舞台上非常自在。我不认为那是提前在脑子里精心策划好的。
When I was approaching the concert it was really intimidating because I didn’t want to ever feel like I was imitating him. I felt that would have been kind of tacky but I was certainly paying attention to what was his intentions were. Both in his songwriting, and in the delivery of the songs, and in his stage presence.
我为演唱会作准备的时候真的很胆战心惊,因为我打死也不想有我在模仿他的感觉。虽然听上去可能有点俗,但我的确在留意他想表达什么。不只通过他写的歌词,还有歌的唱法和舞台风度。
