DERYCK INTERVIEW WITH FANSITE CONNECTION
Here's a new interview Deryck did with the fansite connection website. His answers are in caps -- You recently went to Toronto with Steve to hold rehearsals with Cone, how did the guys react to the new material? GREAT! THE HADN'T HEARD A LOT OF MY NEW STUFF. SO FAR ANYONE I PLAY IT FOR HAS BEEN REALLY IMPRESSED AND SAYS IT'S OUR BEST STUFF. I MEAN MUSIC ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO MATTER OF OPINION OBVIOUSLY, SO I GUESS YOU CAN TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. -- During the Underclass Hero recording, you searched high and low for certain guitar sounds. Are you looking for new guitar tones or attitudes to use on this album? YES! BUT EVEN MORE THIS TIME. I REALLY WANT TO TRY AND CREATE SOUNDS THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. -- How many guitars do you own and which ones stand out to you the most? THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH ONE. I DON'T REALLY KNOW. BUT I WOULD SAY I HAVE 50. THE ONES THAT STAND OUT, THAT'S A TOUGH ONE TOO BECAUSE THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES. I HAVE LES PAULS FOR EVERY YEAR STARTING FROM 1956-1963. AND THOSE ARE ALL GREAT. I HAVE A FEW 50'S GRETSCH GUITARS THAT ARE AMAZING. AND MY 52 TELE IS THE TELE I USE THE MOST. -- What is a typical day like while writing in your home studio? WELL FOR EVERY RECORD IS DIFFERENT. THIS TIME AROUND I HAVE A FULL ON FUNCTIONING STUDIO. AS GOOD AS ANY STUDIO IN LA. I JUST HANG AROUND AND DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, AND JUST PICK UP A GUITAR AND START PLAYING AROUND. USUALLY SOMETHING JUST COMES OUT. AND IF IT DOESN'T I DON'T FORCE IT. AND SO FAR EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT. -- How has your writing style/process has changed throughout the years? IT'S CHANGED A LOT. I THINK THE LAST ALBUM EXPERIENCE REALLY HELPED ME GROW A LOT AS A WRITER AND POSSIBLY AS A PERSON. I DON'T THINK I COULD BE MAKING THE RECORD I'M MAKING NOW WITHOUT UNDERCLASS HERO EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T SOUND ANYTHING LIKE EACH OTHER. -- How do you build yourself up creatively to bring a new sound to each album, yet still stay true to Sum41's style and energy? I DON'T REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. I JUST WRITE WHAT I LIKE. -- "Best of Me" and "With Me" expressed lyrics you hadn't touched on in the past. Were these difficult to write, since it was a new direction? THEY WEREN'T DIFFICULT TO WRITE BUT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHOW ANYBODY THE SONGS.
I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO CHANGE THE LYRICS BEFORE I PUT THE RECORD OUT BUT DECIDED TO BE BRAVE ABOUT. -- What would you call Sum41's most meaningful song to date? THAT'S A TOUGH ONE BECAUSE IT'S ALL RELATIVE. SONGS CAN MEAN A LOT TO ME, LIKE BEST OF ME, OR WITH ME, OR DEAR FATHER BUT NOT MATTER TO SOMEONE ELSE. I THINK DEAR FATHER WAS THE HARDEST TOPIC I'VE EVER HAD TO SING ABOUT. --You produced eight tracks on your wife's 4th album, which showcase the piano and acoustic guitar. Were there any challenges to this since the majority of songs you work on are electric and drum driven? THE RECORDING EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT. MOSTLY BECAUSE WE ACHIEVE WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO. MUSIC WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOME CHALLENGES BUT IT'S WHAT COMES OUT AT THE END THAT MATTERS. AND WE'VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY WITH ALL OF IT. -- On your wife's 3rd album you produced two songs that she had co-written with Evan Taubenfeld. We also know you have worked with him on a few solo projects.Can you tell us a little bit about your experience in working with Evan? WELL EVAN IS A GREAT GUY AND A GREAT FRIEND. AND IT'S GREAT THAT WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE SUCCESS TOGETHER. WE LIKE KEEPING IT ALL IN THE FAMILY. -- We heard you would like an Abbey Dawn for men, which design intrigued this interest? I THINK THE OVERALL STYLE IS COOL. I LIKE THE MORE PUNKY STUFF. -- When Cone decided to persue the Operation MD what were your thoughts? I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. THEY'RE A GOOD BAND AND IT FILLED THE TIME FOR HIM WHILE I WAS OFF WRITING FOR A YEAR. -- What experience would you describe as the highlight of your life so far? HA HA. WOW. LIVING IS THE HIGHLIGHT. EVERY DAY IS FUN. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HAD A BAD DAY. HONESTLY.
大致译文如下：
你最近和STEVE一起去了东京和CONE一起排练，他们对你新的素材有什么反映？
他们对于我的新素才感到十分满意。至今所有听过的人都觉得新素材令他们印象深刻说这是我们有史以来做得最好的。我的意思是说音乐经常因为主观印象而变质，所以我我局的你知道因该怎样评价。
在录制UH的时候，你在寻找新的吉他风格。你在新专辑里又尝试了什么新的音色和音调吗？
是的，这次会更多。我真的很想创作出一些我以前从未听过的音色
你有多少把吉他？哪一把最能体现你的特点？
这个问题很难回答。我有50把吉他。但是每把琴都有自己的用处所以这个问题很难说。我拥有LES PAUL系列从56到63年的款式我每把都有，它们都很棒。（当然………）我也有几把50'S GRETSCH 它们也棒极了。我用的最多的还是52年款的TELE。
你在家里工作室的典型的一天是什么样的？
制作每张专辑都很困难。我家里的录音室的功能和LA的录音室一样齐全。我只是有当无得拿起吉他尝试创作。灵感基本上就是这么来的，如果是在写不出来我也不会强求。至今所有事情都很顺利。
你是怎样逐步创造每张专辑的新特点的？到今天为止是怎样保持SUM41式的风格和能量的？
我也不清楚，我只是写下我喜欢的。
Best of Me和With Me的歌词是你以前没有尝试过的风格。写这样的歌词会很困难吗？这会是以后歌词的写作方向吗？
写出来并不难，难的是写到歌里面然大家欣赏。我本来想在发行专辑前吧歌词改了但是最后我还是勇敢的发行了。
至今你觉得SUM41最意味深长的是那首歌？
这很难说，每首歌都是互相联系的。有些歌像BEST OF ME,WITH ME或者DEAR FATHER对我来说意义重大但是对别人来说就不一定了。我觉得DEAR FATHER是我演唱的歌曲中最艰难的话题了。
你为你妻子的第四张专辑制作了八首歌，其中运用了钢琴和原声吉他。这对你原来习惯用电琴和鼓主导来说是种挑战吗？
录制的过程感觉很棒。我们完成了我们的目标。音乐会带来挑战但是结果才是最重要的，而且我们很享受这个过程。
你妻子专辑里面得第三首歌是她和EVEN合作完成的，我们也知道你和他也一起在个人项目上有过合作。你能透露一点和他合作的感受吗？
EVEN是个好人也是我的朋友。能和他一起完成工作十分开心。我们合作起来就像一家人。
我听说你想开发ABBEY DAWN的男装，是什么激发了你的下这个想法？
我觉得制服这个风格很酷，我喜欢朋克风格的东西。
当CONE决定发展Operation MD 的时候你是怎么想的？
我觉得这是一个好主意，他们是个好乐队而且我写歌的时候他也会有事做
描述一下你至今最精彩的时刻。
哈哈，，只要活着就很精彩。每天我都很快乐。我不认为我有那天我觉得过的不好，真的。 |
