English Summary/英文概要: THE BEST COLUMNS WRITTEN OVER A DECADE
The interviews include Sting, Steve Miller, Brian Eno, Adam Ant, Steve Van Zandt, Mary Wilson and Kevin Rowland.
Mark Beech recounts how he rubbed shoulders with Amy Winehouse and Kanye West backstage and at secret gigs.
There’s a constant reassessing of reputations as stars’ personal lives and music collide. The passing of Winehouse, Michael Jackson and more lead to candid commentaries on what their legacy will be, spiced up with inside knowledge, humor and Beech’s knowledge of music as evidenced in his previously released name encyclopedias.
Stars getting the most attention include the Beatles, Elvis Presley, U2, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin and the Arctic Monkeys.
Beech was among the first to publish reviews from the Led Zeppelin reunion concert at the O2 in London in 2007 (where more than a million people applied for only 20,000 tickets). He provides front-seat accounts of the very first show at the start of tours by the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Prince, the Police and (for comic contrast) the Spice Girls.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这是十年来最棒的一则专栏,内容包含了对斯汀,史蒂夫•米勒,布莱恩•伊诺,亚当•安特,史蒂夫•范•赞特,玛丽•威尔逊和凯文•罗兰的采访。
马克•比奇在书中讲述了他是如何与艾米•怀恩豪斯和卡内•韦斯特在后台以及秘密演出中擦肩而过的。
歌手的个人生活和音乐造诣不断改变着他们在乐坛的声誉与地位。怀恩豪斯,迈克•杰克逊以及一些歌手的离世使人们能对他们的遗产评头论足,比奇更是在书中收录了其中的内幕,《你只需要摇滚》会和比奇的上一本作品,歌手的百科全书一样真实。书中提到的明星有披头士,猫王,U2,Lady Gaga,麦当娜,涅槃乐队,齐柏林飞船乐队和北极猴子乐队等。
比奇是出版齐柏林飞船乐队重聚演唱会的第一批人,这场演唱会仅有两万个座位,却引来了一百万人的哄抢。他还提供了滚石乐队,麦当娜,王子乐队以及辣妹组合出道演唱会的第一手资料。(XAT)
Awards/获奖情况:我总是非常关注马克•比奇的音乐报道和采访,发觉他的文字很有见地,有趣,总是精心思考过,栩栩如生到让你仿佛能看见他描述的画面。如果他出版了一本书籍收录了他所有精彩的文字我会毫不犹豫地买下来。如果你也对音乐领域有浓厚的兴趣,你一定要读一下《你只需要摇滚》。I always make a point of reading Mark’s interviews and reviews on all things music, as I find them insightful, interesting, and well thought out. He also has a way with words that means you can really picture what he is describing. So to have so many of his best pieces of writing in one place, made it a bit of a no-brainer that I would buy it! Nor was I let down - this is a great collection. If you have any interest in this area of music at all, All You Need is Rock is a must read.
