REM在香港———Hey,Kid……

  南方网讯 李劲松有一次他问我把Depeche Mode请来如何,他说11年前Depeche Mode在香港大球场有4万人看。我当然是摇头的,不信去看一看3月20日在湾仔会展中心的REM专场,4000人的场馆坐了八成人,但至少八成是老外!在香港,国外著名乐队、乐人的演出,老外观众占到五成六成,比如近年的滚石和戴维·鲍依。但像REM现场这样几乎上演全洋帮,说明的究竟是香港的国际化程度更甚了,还是香港乐迷的整体水准下降了?在现场见到黄耀明,但你能指望见到陈奕迅吗?

  去年Placebo只是在更小的九龙塘的国际会展中心演,气氛很棒,但也只有千把人,和此前不久的Place-bo巴黎现场相比只有十分之一,同样,REM香港现场和REM2003年德国“完美广场(Perfect Square)”现场也没法比,市面上广为流传的这张REM德国现场DVD让人对这支老牌乐队的现场五体投地,在名胜古迹露天狂欢当然比在室内场馆壮观很多。

  和2003年相比,REM的变化就是多了一张专辑的新歌。他们演遍了新专辑的每一首歌,这正是我事先担心的,REM新专辑没有一首歌我喜欢,他们一开场连演了7首新歌,灌了我半个钟头的白开水。直到《Drive》一唱,熟悉的REM才从睡梦中惊醒!好在经典曲目也基本没少,新歌挤占掉的是从《怪物》(Monster)之后的专辑的那些歌,而《怪物》之后REM就一蟹不如一蟹了,尽管《高保真历险地》整体氛围不错,但也没什么适合现场演绎的REM式长青旋律,而《高保真历险地》之后REM的三张专辑全是失败的。然而谁会忘记这些金曲呢?以下6首歌不唱是下不了台的———《Drive》、《The one I love》、《Everybody hurts》、《Man on the moon》、《Losing my religion》、《What‘s the frequency,Kenneth》,本来以为他们会再来一次Encore,演那首歌名长得吓人的《It’s end of the world as we know(and I feel fine)》,在全场“I feel fine”合唱中谢幕,可惜这一次没有世界末日可唱。

  REM从作品看多年走下坡路,但现场却越来越炉火纯青,与U2的Bono越来越力不从心的男高音相比,Michael Stipe的男中音始终游刃有余。REM的现场每一个细节都无可挑剔,每一个毛孔都那么舒服。

  Michael Stipe充满了纽约式的机智,而他和Mike Mills、Peter Buck三个人身上,25年前“校园乐队”的青葱依旧。

  在2003年德国,Michael Stipe额头上涂上一层目眩的红色,这一次额头到眼圈涂的却是诡秘的黑色,而作为贸易公平运动形象代表,他在宣传单上一身蓝衣,任牛奶从头顶倾盆泼下。红、黑、白,这是另一个中年人给你的一点颜色,和崔健在《农村包围城市》中的本土热忱相比,Michael Stipe胸怀全世界,那天恰逢出兵伊拉克两周年,Michael Stipe免不了借机嘲讽美国政府。他还是反对全球化倾销的干将,香港乐施会以浑身牛奶的Michael Stipe的形象昭告世人:欧盟政府不惜每天向国内牧场发放每头牛2欧元补贴令奶制品产量供过于求,只好贱价倾销到穷国,令穷国牧民大受打击。

  但我们不会反对唱片行业的倾销,为中国乐迷带来贱价的原盘,REM唱片如今一二十元就可以买到。然而1992年那张《Automatic for People》,我当年不满足于打口磁带,又原价买了CD。如今的REM以及U2这样的乐队,已进入伟大、光荣、正确的神坛,政治正确,音乐正确,情感正确,用HowieB评价U2新专辑的话来说就是“Very nice”———然而nice一词总给人奶油兮兮之感,安逸而平庸。在湾仔看REM,一丝怅惘,一丝感激,在当年,《Drive》曾经伴随我,在那个阴冷的冬天走过一个又一个街头———“Hey,Kid……”

Smack, crack, bushwhacked.
Tie another one to the racks, baby.

Hey kids, rock and roll.
Nobody tells you where to go, baby.

Nobody tells you what to do, baby.

Hey kids, shake a leg.
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby.

Maybe you did. Maybe you walked.
Maybe you rocked around the clock.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe
we are more than just friends
Oh! baby
It might seem like a crush
but it doesnot mean
that I'm serous
Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby baby
(Chorus)

Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart
got lost in the game
oh baby, baby
Oops!...you think I am in love
That I am sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes
they truly exist
I cry watching the days
Cannot you see i am a fool in so many ways
but to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Baby oh
(Chorus repeat)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
All aborad
"Britney,before you go there is
something i want you to have."
"Oh,it is beautiful!But wait a minute,isn't this?"
"Yeah!Yes,it is."
"But i thought the old lady
dropped it into the ocean in the end."
"Well,baby i went down and got it for you."
"Oh you shouldn't have!"

Oops!...I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game oh baby
Oops!... You think that i am sent from above
I am not that innocent
