S'lut a tous !
Je me permets de remonter ce topic des abysses du forum pour vous proposer une interview de Brian datant vraisemblablement d'octobre 2009.
Elle provient d'un canard Anglais nomme metro, sorte de journal gratos distribue a l'entrée des gares.
Vivant dans le coin, j ai naturellement feuilleté le dit canard, et je suis tombe sur ceci, plus d un mois après la parution du journal. Je vous la retranscrit ici, un peu comme un cadeau de Noël venu d'Angleterre
Enjoy !
I heard a story that once you drove nine miles backwards...- Absolutely true. It was bloody awful, I couldn't even think about doing it today. It was in a sit-up-and-beg Ford Popular. My girlfriend lived in a cul-de-sac. I had to back out and the bloody thing wouldn't get out of reverse, it was jammed solid. I drove through Newcastle, down to the quay side, across a bridge and took every back alley I knew. It was getting dark and I couldn't see a thing; my neck was knackered.
What's the fastest you've gone on a race track?- On the back straight of Sebring [in Florida], you can get up to about 180 or 190mph. You'd do yourself a lot of damage if you didn't stop in time, mate.
What's the worst crash you've had?- At Road Atlanta [a racetrack] in Georgia. I had a Cortina Mark One, I had slick tyres on and no windscreen wipers and we had a downpour of monumental proportions. I went straight into the bridge. And it hurt.
What was going through your mind?- I've had a good life, I can't complain. A strange calmness came over me - you wouldn't think so if you saw the video filmed inside the car. I'm spinning the wheel, but nothing happens when you're aquaplaning. I remember my ass was going like a rabbit noise.
What's been your best placing in a race?- First! We had a few visits to the podium and I enjoyed it a lot. I like to shake the champagne and give it a spray. There's a thing in racing called DFL - that's Dead Fucking Last, I've never been that, thanks Christ. In a race at Silverstone, i went into the gravel trying to avoid "Sir Les" Ferdinand. That was the only race I didn't finish.
What's your favorite car?- The Bentley 4.5 litre. When you climb in, you know you're one of the lucky enough to get their hand on one. The driving is so special, it gives you the fulfilment cos it;s a hard bugger - double de-clutch and bang away like an old tart doing the weekly wash.
What's the best drinving rock anthem?- Whatever you do, don't drive when you're listening to Shoot to Thrill from the Back in Black album. You will get a ticket. It's vicious - a great driving song. (NDMalcolm : perso j'ai deja conduit en ecoutant Shoot to Thrill et je me suis pas mis au tas...chuis decidemment un putain de pilote !
)
Where is the highway to hell?
- t was writen about being on the bus on the road where it takes forever to get from Melbourne or Sydney to Perth - across the Nullarbor Plain. When the sun's setting in the west and you're driving towards it, it is like a fire ball. There is nothing to do, except have a quick one off the wrist or a game of cards, so that's where Bon came up with the lyrics. The Christians in America think it means something else, but they're just fucking dumb.
Is it true you wouldn't have the job in AC/DC if you hadn't got appendicitis?- I didn't have appendicitis, it was something else. Bon saw me in either Grimsby or Hull and I went down kicking and screaming. He thought it was part of the act and reported it to the boys. so you're right in a way - it did help.
Did you once call Chuck Berry "the biggest piece of shit you'd met in your life"?- No, I called him a cunt, that's different. I did change it cos' it was a bit rude, but he wasn't a very nice person. we'd been with him all week and, as he was leaving, I asked him for his autograph and he said no. Then he told someone that I was Scottish and that really did it. I'm a Geordie so that kinda English, even if not fully English.
Is it your last tour with AC/DC?- I don't know, ask my body. I don't want to go on if I'm not fit. I don't want people feeling sorry for me thinking "Are you going to finish the show or are you going to drop?"
Voila voila !
Alors je sais que c'est en Anglais et bourre d'anglicismes un peu chauds, mais le sens general peut etre tout de meme compris, meme en ayant certaines lacunes en Anglais. Cependant je peux fournir une approximative version traduite un peu plus tard. La c'etait surtout maniere de partager un document !
Pour les anglophobes, je ne saurais que trop vous conseiller l'excellent site
http://www.wordreference.com, qui vous permettra de traduite quelques mots clefs et vous aidera peut etre a saisir le sens !
Pour plus tard, j'ai aussi un extrait du daily mail datant du lendemain du concert de Glasgow, avec la critique du dit concert... rien de nouveau sous le soleil, mais ca peut le faire
Peut être d'ailleurs Jul, Loic, Arnukem ou encore Bonny le possèdent ils aussi ? je me souviens que Jul hantait les maisons de la presse du coin le jour du concert pour trouver un article relatif au concert !
Sur ce, a bientôt et joyeux Noël !
