닷컴 분들을 위해 아래 김부성씨가 올린 글 급히 번역 해봤다는...
<br>
오타가 좀 많을 겁니다....
<br>
<br>
중간 중간 좀 어색한 부분이 있을 듯...

외국서 15년 동안 배운 영어인데도 번역하는 거 왜이리 힘든지...ㅡㅜ...

영어는 그냥 영어로 이해해야...

February 4th, 2004 - Perth Australia
<br>
<br>
"Through the early morning light I see....'
<br>
'아침 햇살을 보면서...'
<br>
<br>
The journey was long. It was also crowded. Each flight we had to Seoul, South Korea was full.
<br>
복잡하면서 참 긴 여행이었다. 한국을 갈때마다 항상 북적거렸다.
<br>
<br>
The layover in Narita was uneventful. After a 10 hour flight from Melbourne, via Sydney to
<br>
Narita to Incheon, we were not that exhausted to check out the wonderful city of Seoul.
<br>
나리타는 그렇게 흥겹지 않았다. Melbourne에서 시드니, 또 나리타, 서울로 10시간.
<br>
하지만 Wonderful한 서울 구경에 힘든 건 없었다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
i am surprised none of us got sick, because we went from summer to winter in18 hours!
<br>
it was about 2 degrees celsius, which in fahrenheit equates to fuckin' cold.
<br>
난 우리가 아프지 않았다는게 참 신기했다. 18시간 안에 여름인 곳에서 겨울인 곳으로 갔느데 말이다.
<br>
영상 2도 였다. 화씨 2도 였으면 더럽게 더러웠을텐데 말인다...
<br>
<br>
The people that we met were very nice and accommodating, and gave us a mini
<br>
tour of the "hot" district called Rodeo...it neither reminded me of texas, or that
<br>
wretched avenue in beverly hills, but it was cool! small streets with vendors in every window.
<br>
shoe stores were like starbucks...you can't go 20 yards without seeing one.
<br>
우리가 만난 사람들은 친절하고 따뜻하게 대해주었다. 로데오 거리라고 불리는 "Hot (유명한 곳)"도 갔는데
<br>
텍서스나 짜증나는 베벌리힐과는 전혀 달랐지만 아주 좋았다. 작은 골목과 창가마다 있는 상인들...
<br>
신발가게는 스타벅스 같았고 20여드를 걸으며 하나로도 보지 않고는 갈 수 없었다.
<br>
<br>
our guide Jay, a korean who was from seattle, and san francisco, was/is part owner
<br>
of a night club. it was too early the club was not even opened. he allowed us in, and gave
<br>
us beers, and set us in the VIP booth to drink. i bet this place would have been raging, if there were other people around..
<br>
시에틀과 샌프란시스코에서 온 우리의 한국 가이드 제이는 나이트 클럽의 공동 사장이었다.
<br>
아직 클럽이 열기에는 이른 시간이었지만 우릴 들어가게 해주었고, VIP실에서 맥주를 마실 수 있게
<br>
해주었다. 아마 사람만 있었다면 엉망이 되었을 걸 확신한다.
<br>
<br>
after that, we were shuttled around in the van, back to the hotel.
<br>
that reminds me, the shuttle driver...he was always available. kinda like in the movies,
<br>
whenever someone in NYC raises their hand to catch a taxi, one immediately stops...
<br>
I think he slept in an upright position in the van, with one eye open, to capture that hollywood vibe...it was really cool!
<br>
Korn was staying in the same hotel, so we were reuniting with their crew, and running
<br>
into the guys from the band in random sightings.
<br>
우리는 클럽을 갔다 밴을 타고 호텔로 향했다.
<br>
셔틀버스 기사는 영화에서처럼 항상 손말 들면 달려 왔다. 뉴욕에서 택시를 잡는 거 처럼 말이다.
<br>
차 안에서 똑 바로 앉아 눈을 뜨고 잔 거 같은데 꼭 할리우드 영화를 따라하는 거 같았다.
<br>
콘은 우리랑 같은 호텔에서 투숙했다. 그래서 우린 콘 멤버들과 같이 모여 지나치는 사람들과 어울렸다.,
<br>
<br>
it was January the 29th, and this day kicked off the LIVE-WIRE music festival. we were to be the opening band,
<br>
of a 3band bill, kicking off the festivities. The second act was SeoTaiJi (sorry if i misspelled your name,
<br>
but you aren't reading this anyway). He was/is the hottest pop act in korea. his new album was released 2
<br>
days before the show, and in the first weekend, it sold 2 million copies!!!holy crap! he is unbelievably huge,....there.
<br>
and the headlining act was Korn.
<br>
1월 29일 이었다. LIVE-WIRE 공연을 하는 날...우리는 3팀 중 오프닝 밴드였다. 축제를 시작하긴 위한...
<br>
두번째는 서태지(스펠링을 잘 못 적었다면 미안하다. 뭐 이거 읽은 건 아니지만..) 그는 한국에서 가장 인기 있는 가수였고 가수이다.
<br>
공연을 하기전 2일 전에 새 앨범이 나왔는데 벌써 2백만장이나 팔렸단다. 우아! 진짜 거물이군...
<br>
<br>
we were driven to the gig early (12 pm), so that christian, raymond and john and byron could get all the gear together,
<br>
since they were teching their own gear! The venue was part of the Olympic park that was built in 1988. this place was enormous!
<br>
it was to hold at least 10,000 people. the place was busy with excitement, and everyone was running around and being really cool to us.
<br>
our time to go on stage was 7:30pm.
<br>
우리는 christian, raymond,john, byron이 개인 장비를 준비할/세팅할 수 있도록 일찍 도착했다 (오후 12시).
<br>
공연장은 1988에 지어진 올림픽 공원에 있었는데 진짜 죽여주는 곳이었다.
<br>
1만명 이상을 수용할 수 있는 곳 이었다. 그 곳은 사람들로 붐볐고 다 흥분되어 있었다. 사람들은 우리에게 잘 대해주었다.
<br>
우리가 무대에 오를 시간은 7시 반이었다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Korn arrived around 4:30 to soundcheck. i was standing in the front of the stage, so that i could hear their soundcheck.
<br>
it was cool to see all of those guys at once. when Jonathan saw me, he said, "Burt! how the hell are you? Mother fucker!".
<br>
We greeted each other like we were long lost pals. we were trying to figure the last time i saw all of them, a
<br>
nd i think it was 1995, when we both opened for megadeth.................... It had been that long!
<br>
Jonathan has always been a cool mother fucker to me, and it was good to see him again.
<br>
콘은 음향 검사를 위해 4시 반에 도착했다. 나는 음향 검사를 위해 무대 앞에 서 있었는데 콘 멤버를 한꺼번에 다 볼 수 있어서 좋았다.
<br>
조나단이 나를 보았고 나에게 "야 버트 개xx야 잘 지내냐?"
<br>
우리는 서로에게 인사를 했다. 우리는 오랫동안 헤어진 친구사이...언제 마지막으로 다 같이 봤는지 생각해봤더니 Megadeth를 위해
<br>
오프닝을 했던 1995년 이었다. 진짜 긴 시간이 지났다. 조나단은 항상 나에게 좋게 대해주었다. 그를 다시 볼 수 있어서 좋았다.
<br>
<br>
it had been along trip, and i was still a little tired, however, the anticipation to play in front of a korean crowd
<br>
was keeping me energetic. the koreans were being very particular of the time. as if they were going to malfunction
<br>
if the synchronicity was to falter. it was rather comical to me.
<br>
긴 여행 때문에 좀 힘들었지만 한국 팬들 앞에 서서 공연을 한다는 사실에 힘을 얻을 수 있었다.
<br>
나에겐 좀 웃겼지만 한국 사람들은 시간에 있어 철저했다, 마치 모든게 망해버릴 거 같이...
<br>
<br>
7:20 hits, and we were escorted to the stage, so that we could remain
<br>
in synchronicity with their tight program. the stage manager kept showing me his cell phone, so that i could see the time clearly.
<br>
his T-minus and counting technique was also comical to me.
<br>
그들의 철저한/빡빡한 계획에 맞출 수 있게 7시 20분이 되자 무대 위로 안내 되었다.
<br>
내가 시계를 볼 수 있도록 스테이지 매니저가 나에게 계속 핸드폰을 보여주었다.
<br>
그의 T-Minus 카운팅(시간 제는거 10,9,8,7..,0 이거요.)도 나에겐 웃겼다.
<br>
<br>
The lights went down, and the crowd made a noise i had not really heard before. it was very strange...like the sound of a
<br>
stadium filled with screaming girls at justin timberlake concert. when the lights came on, the place WAS ALL GIRLS!!!
<br>
this was not a usual fear factory gig. ( i later heard that the concert was 80% female!!)
<br>
we opened with edgecrusher, and the fl
<br>
불은 다 꺼졌고, 사람들은 내가 전에 한번도 들어보지 못 한 소리를 질렀다.
<br>
저스틴 팀벌레이크(N'Sync 멤버)공연 때 여자애들이 지르는 소리...이상했다.
<br>
불이 켜졌다. 헉스..다 여자들이었다. 피어 팩토리에겐 익숙지 않은 상황...(나중에 80%가 여자라는 걸 들었다.)
<br>
우리는 edgecrusher과 the fl로 공연을 시작햇다.
<br>
<br>
The crowd as amazing. they were receptive to every song we played! they did not know the words, because we really
<br>
are not well known in korea,but they took direction very well...they all screamed on cue.
<br>
사람들은 괭장했다. 우리가 부르는 노래에 잘 호응/놀아 주었다. 우리가 한국에 잘 알려지지 않아
<br>
가사는 모르지만 말이다. 시작하는 순간 소리를 줄러 주면서 우리와 호흡을 자 맞춰주었다.
<br>
<br>
I think we played a good show, despite the technical difficulties that raymond, christian, and byron were having.
<br>
we thought "FUCK IT!!!it's only a 30 minute set, lets do do this!". with that positive attitude, we finished with a great set,
<br>
and a shitload of new korean fans!!!
<br>
raymond, christian, 과byron의 기술적인 문제에도 불구하고 참 좋은 공연을 보여 줬다고 생각한다.
<br>
우리는 그냥 "FUCK IT (x빨 기술 문제는 무시하자) 어차피 겨우 30분 공연인데...우린 할 수 있다"라는 긍정적인 생각을 가지고
<br>
새로운 한국(shitload=많은) 팬들과 공연을 마무리 할 수 있었다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
after our set, i was alone in the dressing room, and Jonathan walks in with his homeboy Curtis, to show his appreciation
<br>
for the set we did! we talked for a little while, and he left to get ready for his gig. Did i already say that he's a cool mother fucker?....
<br>
우리 무대가 끝나고 드레싱 룸에 혼자 있는데 조나단이 homeboy Curtis(밴드 멤버들을 말함)끌고 공연에 대한 인사를 하로 들어왔다.
<br>
우리 잠시 이야기를 하고 그는 그의 무대를 준비하로 나갔다. 내가 벌써 조나단은 진짜 Cool한 개xx라고 말 했던가?...
<br>
<br>
<br>
SeoTaiJi takes the stage.....the crowd is already going dog wild, and the lights are still on. when the lights went down,
<br>
it was as if someone recorded Niagara falls, and pitched it up to sound like a little girl! holy crap, i have never seen
<br>
nor heard anything like this....not since McDonalds revived the McRib..... again!
<br>
서태지가 무대에 올라갔다. 불이 켜져 있음에도 사람들은 dog wild(개가 짓는 것 처럼, 미국에서 흥분된 사람들에게 많이 쓰는 표현)되었다.
<br>
불이 꺼지자 누가 마치 나이아가라 폭포 소리를 녹음해 음을 높여 작은 여자애들 처럼 들리게 한 거 같았다. Holy Crap(이런 젠장, 우아...)
<br>
맥도날드가 맥립을 다시 팔기 시작한 이후로는 난 이런 거 본 적도 들은 적도 없었다.
<br>
※ 예전에 미국에서 맥립(진짜 인가 많았던 버거)에 쥐가 바베큐가 되어 판매된 후 판매 금지 되었었는데 다시 판매를 시작했는데
<br>
미국이 들썩거렸죠...^^)
<br>
<br>
i watched a few songs of the set. he definitely had the audience. he had the look, he had the hair, the sound, he had the color
<br>
changing pyrotechnics... a perfect product for Korea... apparently, the story i heard is this... about 10 years ago, he was in
<br>
a "boy band" in korea. He decided to go solo, and he then became "the pioneer" of Korean Hip and/or Hop....that is what i was told ...
<br>
i can't make that shit up.... after his gangsta ways, he decided to evolve, and emulate his favorite american rock band KORN....
<br>
you could say he was Korn-rean.....sorry...i did make that one up.
<br>
난 서태지가 노래를 부르는 거 몇 개를 봤다. 그는 분명 관중을 움직이고 있었다. 그의 외모, 머리 스타일, 노래, 그리고 막 바뀌는 불 꽃...
<br>
그는 한국에 완벽한 (문화)상품이었다. 들은 이야기로 10년 전에 그는 boy band(아이돌 그룹)에 있었다고 한다.
<br>
결국 솔로로 활동하기로했고 한국 힙합의 선구자가 되었다고한다...난 그렇게 들었다.
<br>
난 그런거(힙합) 못 만든다. 그리고 그의 gangsta way(힙합스타일을 gansta look이라고 부름)이후 그는 진화 하기로 했단다.
<br>
그가 가장 좋아하는 콘을 모방(나쁜 뜻으로 쓰인 단어가 아님)하기 위해...아마 그를 Korn-rean (KORN과 Korean을 합친 것)
<br>
부를 수 있을거다....미안...내가 그 단어 만들었다.
<br>
<br>
after his show, and a few fainting girls at the barricade, Korn was finally going on!!! for their show, i walked to
<br>
stand near the soundboard, because it always sounds the best there. Korn went on, and the crowd went ape all over again!
<br>
그의 공연 이후 바리게이트에 몇 명의 질식한 여자애들이 있었고 콘이 그들의 공연을 위해 올라갔다.
<br>
난 소리가 가장 잘 들리는 스탠드 근처의 사운드 보드로 갔다. 콘이 올라가자 사람들은 또 미치기 시작했다.
<br>
<br>
standing in the crowd, watching Korn was a very strange feeling. it was like we were still on tour together.
<br>
i felt like it was 1995 again, korn was exploding on the scene.
<br>
That feeling was most evident when they played BLIND....damn....i got shivers listening to that.
<br>
사람들 사이게 껴서 콘을 보는 기분은 참 묘했다. 1995년 마치 우리가 같이 공연을 했던 거 처럼...
<br>
콘은 폭발하고 있었다...그가 BLIND를 부를 때 그 느낌은 명백해졌다...제장...몸이 부르르 떨렸다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
the wash of memories flooded me, and i suddenly was watching the show the concert they played at Red Rocks,
<br>
Co.. the korean auditorium disappeared, and the venue of Red Rocks appeared like an apparition before me.
<br>
i specifically remember that show because it was the first time i witnessed the power of the Korn machine,
<br>
and how it was to be a driving force for a genre. it was fantastic to witness.
<br>
많은 생각/추억들이 떠올랐다. 그들이 RED ROCKS에서 보여준 공연을 보고 있었다. 헉...한국 체육관인 없어져버리고 RED
<br>
ROCK의 공연장이 내 앞에 나타났다. 난 그 RED ROCK때 콘의 파워를 느꼈기 때문에 그 공연을 가장 잘 기억한다.
<br>
그리고 그 장르가 얼마나 사람을 흥분시키게 하는지...그 공연을 볼 수 있었던건 환상적이었다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
the apparition faded, but the band was still there, doing what they do best, rocking the hell out of the crowd.
<br>
needless to say, i really enjoyed their set. i made my way to the dressing room, because they were on their last song.
<br>
appariation(팬들의 호응 소리)는 작아졌지만 밴드는 열심히 연주하며 사람들은 미치게 하고 있었다.
<br>
말 할 필요도 없지만 난 콘의 무대를 즐겼다. 콘이 마지막 노래를 할 때 난 드레식 룸으로 향햇다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
i wanted to go, and beat the traffic to the hotel. luckily, everyone was in the dressing room ready to go.
<br>
we packed up our things, and went outside the venue, to find our trusty driver at the helm, always with a sleepy smile.
<br>
we wanted to get a good nights rest, to prepare for that return flight to australian summer.
<br>
난 빨리 호텔로 돌아가고 싶었다 근데 운이 좋게 모두다 갈 준비가 되어 있었다.
<br>
우리의 물건을 챙기고 그 Trusty(믿을만 한) 기사(항상 졸린 웃음을 하는)를 찾기 위해 공연장 밖으로 나갔다.
<br>
우린 오스트리아(현재 여름)로 향한 비행기를 위해 푹 쉬고 싶었다
<br>
<br>
we left seoul at 3pm on the 30th, we flew to Narita in 1 hour, for a 3 hour layover, then a 10 hour flight to melbourne for another
<br>
3 hour layover, and then a 4.5 hour flight to perth.
<br>
우린 30일 오후 3시에 출발해 1시간 만에 나리타로..그리고 3시간에 잠...그리고 10시간 만에 Melbourne...그리고 또 다시 3시간 동안 자고...
<br>
그리고 다시 4.5시간 동안 Perth로 향했다.
<br>
<br>
<br>
이 밑으로는 개인 이야기라서 그냥 생략...
<br>
===============================================================================
<br>
when we arrived, we rented a van at the airport, and in my sleep deprived state,
<br>
was able to adapt quickly to driving on "the wrong side" of the car, and the road! the hotel
<br>
was/is a treat, because it's on the beach, in scarborough, a suburb of perth. this is the very first hotel w
<br>
e ever stayed at, on our first tour of Oz 10 years ago! fine memories indeed....
<br>
we had a chance to attend the last show of the Big Day Out!
<br>
<br>
<br>
]this time, we were not playing, and so i could relax and enjoy some shows because we still had our national laminates.
<br>
We arrived in time to see The Dandy Warhols. I went to the stage again, and watched them from the side this time,
<br>
and of course, they did a great show. I spied Kirk Hammet sitting on the other side of the stage watching the show. t
<br>
hey played their haunting version of Hells Bells by ACDC.....so genius....
<br>
<br>
after that, i just wandered around aimlessly, sometimes with byron, and just checked out all the sites.
<br>
it was so packed! the largest turn out for a BDO ever in Perth, and it's all because of metallica!
<br>
Metallica was the other band that i watched, and of course, they were monstrous! they were on fire...
<br>
i heard them rehearsing before their show, so they were primed and ready to go!
<br>
It was sometime during the metallica show that i realized i left the headlights in the van powered up.
<br>
i had a sinking feeling the battery was dead, and it was..... luckily, it was no problem to find some jumper
<br>
lead cables to restart that tin can.
<br>
Christian and I went to the after party at the other hotel,
<br>
where most of the bands on the BDO were staying. I remember this place, because this was the last hotel we stayed at on
<br>
the BDO in1997. That bar held fond memories of hanging out with Kim Thayil at the bar, and sitting in the middle of the room,
<br>
sharing a smoke with Chris Cornell( a high point in my life...no pun intended).
<br>
This years party was much larger, and everyone was more drunk i suspect. for awhile,we were hanging out with the local band Karnavool.
<br>
Then we caught up with Cedric from The Mars Volta, and his buddies rolled one of the meanest joints i ever smoked....
<br>
it's all about the killer kind in perth....then Ed ( The Darkness )and I spotted each other, and we hung out with each
<br>
other in our drunken stupors, enjoying the scenery, and talking about music and life and what not...he is really a cool
<br>
mother fucker, too!!!
<br>
<br>
some time in the evening, i was watching the dance floor, just chilling against a wall, when some drunken
<br>
moron walked by....he happened to look my way when a sudden splash of projectile vomit pelted my chest!!! aaaaghfuck!
<br>
i grabbed the guy, and shook him. i then pushed him to the bathroom, and directed him to a stall so that he could finish
<br>
properly ...i was at a sink, washing myself, and my shirt....what a drag....he came to the sink next to me, to wash himself ...
<br>
i said, "that was really uncool, man!". he was very apologetic, and asked me if i needed anything ...i said,
<br>
"a double vodka on the rocks". he began to whine and whimper, so i told him to forget about it and get out of my face.
<br>
he left. only to return with a drink that looked as though he stole it from the top of a cigarette machine....what an ass...
<br>
Ed and I ended up hanging out with Courtney from The Dandy Warhols. We were all wasted, and sharing good tour
<br>
stories and just learning more about the people we just traveled with for almost 2 weeks...you do that when you are really drunk....it was cool to hang with those guys until 6am!!!! the sunrise was too damn bright when christian and i finally left...what a great time! what a great tour, what great people...
<br>
i fucking love rock and roll....
<br>
<br>
