Guitar Hero: World Tour adds NOFX, Bad Religion and Rancid

Guitar Hero: World Tour has added three of Epitaph Records' most important bands in a new track pack. The set, available now on XBOX360 and PS3, features NOFX's "Linoleum" from Punk In Drublic, Rancid's "Ruby Soho" from ... And Out Come The Wolves and Bad Religion's "21st Century Digital Boy" which is presumably the Against the Grain version, not the Stranger Than Fiction version since this is the "Epitaph" track pack.

本物のギター弾く人にはつまんないかも知れませんが、やっとRancid、NOFX, Bad ReligionもGuitar Hero World Tourに追加されたようです。本物ギター弾ける人がコメントしてましたが、Guitar Heroでは上手く轢けないらしいとか変です。

Rancid Home town Interview
Rancid dives into politics

Why not, says Armstrong’s guitarist/co-vocalist Lars Frederiksen: "We’ve always tried to wear our hearts on our sleeves and talk about exactly where we were at that time. And we come from these working-class backgrounds — all of our parents had to work to put food on the table. And that’s what gets conditioned. You’re always going to see things from that perspective. So we’ve always been really personal with our work. We talk about how what’s happening in the world affects us."

But things have changed since Rancid first came out swinging on its eponymous 1993 debut for Brett Gurewitz’s Epitaph imprint.

Frederiksen, 37, is now a proud papa, and he chauffeurs his son around town in a family-friendly Volvo.

Bassist Matt Freeman, 43, has two sons, and Armstrong, also 43, has been playing father to the roster of bratty young bands he’s signed to his own Epitaph spinoff, Hellcat Records.

Lars is now happily married to his wife Stephanie, who gave birth to his son, Wolfgang Erik Anders Frederiksen, September 11th 2007.

労働者階級に生まれ育ち現在の世界での不景気の問題等、今まで通り自分たちみんなに影響されていることを背景に新しいアルバムを作ったので結構Angryなアルバムに仕上がったとか。

それよりも私はTimファンなので、Larsが前回のアルバム2003年の時にTimと同時期に離婚を経験をして以来、また新たに別の人と結婚して子供が出来ていたなんて知りませんでした。Lars Fanの方は既に知っていたのでしょうか？リンクの下の文は別のサイトから得ました。2007年9/11だなんて特別な日にWolfgangは生まれたんですね。後もう少しで2歳だなんて可愛いだろうな。高級なVolvoがFamily friendlyな車だなんて、それで送り迎えをしているパパなLarsはステージのイメージから余り創造が付きませんでした。

2nd interview
Q: This album has a ballad on it called "East Bay Nights." How many shoes do you think people are going to throw at you when you play it live?

Armstrong: If you follow everything back that we've done we're always going to do things that people don't expect. We just do what feels right for us. Going back to Operation Ivy, even. Even if we were thinking we would do some soul thing and it would just sound like Rancid.

Frederiksen: We've always taken different things from all kinds of street level music, whether it be reggae or ska, rock 'n' roll or soul. We've always touched on that, but we've always made it our own thing. We're just going to make the kind of record that we feel proud of.

これは別の新聞からのインタビューなのですが、何でこの人はEast Bay Nightをプレイしたら何人の観客がステージに靴を投げてくるだろうと言う質問をしたのかわかりません。歌詞特に誰に対してもOffensiveには取れないし、Rancidのライブで靴を投げてきた観客の話なんて聞いたことないし、この人Rancidの事知らずに聞いた無知な質問だったのでしょうか？別の質問も結構失礼に感じました。最後のはつまんない記事だったら、すいません。
