Dirty rhythm
８，９０年代的摇滚乐坛上，涌现出一批又一批高水准的乐团，在那个长发飘逸的年代，有的大红大紫，有的则默默无闻。但并不意味着这些没有红透半边天的乐队就比那些所谓的大牌差多少。也许，只是机缘未到。今天INVINCIBLE给大家推荐的这支乐队，虽然是一张死乐队（事实上０６年出了新专辑），但是这并不影响他们在我的收藏中占有一席之地。
Dirty Rhythm，看到这个乐队名千万别以为它是Vinnie Vincent Invasion的致敬乐队。Dirty Rhythm，一只来自于美国的portland的流金乐队，成立于１９８８年，乐队最初出道被冠以skid row和cry wolf乐队的cover band，个人感觉这么说，也许是因为主唱嘹亮高亢的嗓音以及他们那种重金属味道十足的曲风吧。
乐队最初由Jeffrey Michael Bonds (vocals), Brian Harrison (guitar，keyboard)和Samuel Zern (drums)组成。经过短暂的磨合，乐队制作了他们的demo，经由Loverboy的吉他手Paul Dean介绍，并在他的合作下在加拿大的一个厂牌准备着他们的第一张同名专辑。期间，Brian Greenham 作为bass手加入了乐队，而鼓手则由Troy Miller代替。之后的过了一年，专辑Hard As A Rock出版了，就像任何一只流金乐队一样，首张专辑都是最让人期待最让人热血沸腾的，专辑中好歌连连，个人最为喜欢专辑的第一首，Feel The Fire。值得一提的是这张专辑中的一首慢歌，I Can't Wait，开曲优美的木吉他开曲，伴着键盘的加入，主唱开始吟唱Seems like a long time since i went away...流金中这种回忆类的抒情曲不少，但是这首绝对是INVINCIBLE听过的佼佼者，个人认为跟Danger Danger的I still think about you有着异曲同工之妙。这也是为什么推荐这个乐队的原因，每个乐队总有那么灵光一闪的时候，总会有那么一首让人过耳不忘的曲子。喜欢这类曲子的朋友不妨去听听。
回到正文，其实在说完他们的第一张专辑之后，本文也差不多就告一段落了，乐队在出完首张专辑之后就销声匿迹了，不过在０６年又出了一张专辑，Never Cleaned Up,如同大部分一张死的乐队一样，这张也是他们早期作品的再版。Over,Dirty Rhythm的故事到这里就结束了。
附上I Cant Wait的歌曲：
Seems like a long time since i went away
Time it passes by so slow
I'm realizing i will never be the same
And now i'm here to let you know
Nothing will ever change my mind
About the way i feel inside
Baby i'm coming home
And i can't wait to hold you in my arms again
And i can't wait to hold you close to me
And i can't wait 'cause forever it's just too long to wait to say
I love you
Seems like a long time since i went away
Memories of you still remain
And i remember all those nights we shared alone
Walking in the april rains
And now the time has passed me by
Gotta need to by my side
Each and every day
And i can't wait to hold you in my arms again
And i can't wait to hold you close to me
And i can't wait 'cause forever it's just too long to wait to say
To say
Nothing will ever change my mind
About the way i feel inside
Baby i'm coming home
And now the time has passed me by
Gotta need to by my side
Each and every day
And i can't wait to hold you in my arms again
And i can't wait to hold you close to me
And i can't wait 'cause forever it's just too long to wait to say
To say
Yeah, oohhh...
I love you
I love you
And i can't wait 'cause forever it's just too long to wait to say
I love you
I love you
You know i love you
