被捕：“我们是进入摇滚乐队的巨大门户”

Busted 与 Louder 谈论了他们在今年夏天的下载音乐节上的亮相，并承认在金属的精神家园演奏

Essex pop-rock trio Busted have spoken to Louder about their appearance at this summer's Download festival, acknowledging that playing at the spiritual home of metal, Donington Park, represented a "huge journey" from their pop roots. 

埃塞克斯流行摇滚三人组 Busted 向 Louder 讲述了他们在今年夏天的下载音乐节上的表现，并承认在金属的精神家园多宁顿公园演出代表了他们从流行根源出发的“巨大旅程”。

The band were one of the most successful bands of the early noughties. Released in 2002, their self-titled debut album sold in excess of 1.2 million copies, spawned a UK number one single in You Said No, a number two single, Year 3000, and two number three singles, What I Go To School For and Sleeping With The Light On. Their second album, A Present For Everyone, released the following year, included three UK number one singles, Crashed The Wedding, Who's David, and Thunderbirds/3am, and sold almost a million copies in the UK alone. 

该乐队是二十世纪九十年代初期最成功的乐队之一。他们的首张同名专辑于 2002 年发行，销量超过 120 万张，催生了一首英国排名第一的单曲《You Said No》、一首排名第二的单曲《Year 3000》以及两首排名第三的单曲《What I Go To School For》和《What I Go To School For》。开着灯睡觉。他们的第二张专辑《A Present For Every》于次年发行，其中包括三首英国排名第一的单曲：《Crashed The Wedding》、《Who's David》和《Thunderbirds/3am》，仅在英国就售出了近一百万张。

Speaking to Louder's Stephen Hill before they headlined the Avalanche Stage on June 14, the trio expressed delight at the fact that they'd finally been embraced by the rock community, and admitted that they themselves couldn't have imagined playing Download at the peak of their pop success. 

在 6 月 14 日登上 Avalanche Stage 舞台之前，三人组在接受 Louder 的 Stephen Hill 采访时表示，他们对自己终于受到摇滚界的拥抱感到非常高兴，并承认他们自己也无法想象在音乐巅峰时期玩《Download》。他们的流行音乐的成功。

"We wouldn't have done it in 2003," admits vocalist/guitarist Charlie Simpson. "The whole scene was completely different back then. A lot has changed in 20 years. I think that tribalism within music genres has dissipated, largely because of streaming: you've now got Ed Sheeran doing collaborations with Bring Me The Horizon, which, again, wouldn't have happened in 2003. So it felt like a good thing. And actually, when we were announced, I was interested to see what the vibe was, and everyone was actually loving it man."

“如果是 2003 年，我们是不会这么做的，”主唱兼吉他手查理·辛普森 (Charlie Simpson) 承认道。 “当时的整个场景完全不同了。20 年来发生了很多变化。我认为音乐流派中的部落主义已经消失，很大程度上是因为流媒体：现在 Ed Sheeran 与 Bring Me The Horizo​​n 进行了合作，再说一次，这在 2003 年是不会发生的。所以这感觉是一件好事，事实上，当我们宣布我们的消息时，我很想看看当时的氛围如何，每个人都非常喜欢它。”

When Stephen Hill points out that, while authenticity has always been important to rock fans, Busted always wrote their own songs, while certain pop-punk bands who were more accepted by the rock community in the early noughties employed the services of outside writers, Simpson says, "I feel like the entire landscape of pop music back then was very different: it was very manufactured. And 99.9 per cent of the bands that were making pop music, had nothing to do with the actual making of the records, they were formed by the likes of Simon Cowell and put out there.

当斯蒂芬·希尔指出，虽然真实性对摇滚乐迷来说一直很重要，但 Busted 总是写自己的歌曲，而某些在二十世纪初期更容易被摇滚界接受的流行朋克乐队则雇用了外部作家的服务，辛普森说：“我觉得当时流行音乐的整个格局非常不同：它是非常人为制造的。99.9% 制作流行音乐的乐队与唱片的实际制作无关，他们是由西蒙·考威尔（Simon Cowell）等人创立并发布在那里。

"So when a band like Busted came along, it was sort of marketed to that audience, we were being marketed as a pop band, rather than, like, Good Charlotte, who I think came through the alternative rock scene. People weren't used to a band in the pop sphere doing everything themselves, and I think that took a minute for people to grasp." 

“因此，当像 Busted 这样的乐队出现时，我们就被宣传为流行乐队，而不是像 Good Charlotte 这样的乐队，我认为他们来自另类摇滚界。人们并没有流行音乐圈里的乐队习惯了自己做所有事情，我认为人们需要花一点时间才能理解这一点。”

Asked if it hurt to be shunned by rock magazines at the time, co-vocalist/bassist Matt Willis replies, "If I'm honest, yeah. I'd love to say that I was bigger than that, and that it didn't affect me, but it did. The biggest thing for me was that people I admired, didn't like my band, which I found quite hard to take. I'd go to certain rock shows, to see certain bands that I loved, and I'd get some shit in the crowd... that really pissed me off.... I felt quite down about that shit, but I kinda got it, because you know, we all know these people, and I know how fucking cynical they are. It did take a moment to kinda get over that shit."

当被问及当时被摇滚杂志回避是否会造成伤害时，联合主唱兼贝斯手马特·威利斯回答说：“老实说，是的。我想说我比那更伟大，但事实并非如此。”这对我来说没有影响，但对我来说最重要的是我敬佩的人不喜欢我的乐队，我发现很难接受某些摇滚表演，去看我喜欢的某些乐队。 ，我会在人群中得到一些狗屎......这真的让我很生气......我对此感到非常沮丧，但我有点明白，因为你知道，我们都认识这些人，我知道他们真是太他妈的愤世嫉俗了。”

"Busted became a huge gateway into rock bands," says Simpson. "You look at bands like Neck Deep, they were hugely influenced by Busted at a young age... Now there's people listening to Sleep Token, or whatever, that may have started when they were much younger listening to Busted. Busted bringing guitars into the mainstream... did put a lot of kids onto guitars which I'm immensely proud."

“Busted 成为了进入摇滚乐队的一个巨大门户，”辛普森说。 “你看看像 Neck Deep 这样的乐队，他们在年轻的时候就受到了 Busted 的巨大影响……现在有人听 Sleep Token 之类的，这可能是在他们年轻得多的时候开始听 Busted 的。Busted 将吉他带入了音乐界。主流……确实让很多孩子接触了吉他，我对此感到非常自豪。”

"I think we were always a pop band, but with a rock spirit," adds co-vocalist/guitarist James Bourne. 

“我认为我们一直是一支流行乐队，但具有摇滚精神，”联合主唱兼吉他手詹姆斯·伯恩补充道。

Busted split in 2005, but reformed in 2015, and released the electronica-influenced Night Driver album in 2016. They recently revealed to Rolling Stone UK that they're recording an "experimental" new album with former Bring Me The Horizon man Jordan Fish.

2005 年分手，但在 2015 年重组，并于 2016 年发行了受电子音乐影响的 Night Driver 专辑。他们最近向英国滚石乐队透露，他们正在与前 Bring Me The Horizo​​n 成员 Jordan Fish 一起录制一张“实验性”新专辑。

"We’re in a position where we give less fucks and we just want to do what makes us really fucking stoked," Matt Willis stated.

马特·威利斯表示：“我们现在的处境是少操心，我们只想做那些让我们真正兴奋的事情。”
