sara_gd Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I was in Rome last week and I saw this magazine called "Rock Star" with Green Day on the cover. I freaked out and bought it, but I can't understand it :/ It seems to be an interview with Billie.Can anybody translate it?Here are the scans:
DeJennsitized Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I thought when I read the title that 'Rock Star' was an Italian version of Rock Band. But I can't read Italian, so can't translate. Sorry!
Marlon Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I thought when I read the title that 'Rock Star' was an Italian version of Rock Band. :lol:
Brian Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I thought when I read the title that 'Rock Star' was an Italian version of Rock Band. But I can't read Italian, so can't translate. Sorry!Same!
Marlon Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Is there nobody Italian??? I so wanna know what it says, it seems pretty interesting.
Jaelle Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I am Italian and can translate it, of course. But I really have no time at the moment, so I don't know when I'll be able to work on it.
Marlon Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I am Italian and can translate it, of course. But I really have no time at the moment, so I don't know when I'll be able to work on it.OK, thanks.
Another Urchin Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I study Italian and I could give it a shot, but I'm sure an actual Italian person would do a better jobI am Italian and can translate it, of course. But I really have no time at the moment, so I don't know when I'll be able to work on it.Ciao. Da dove in Italia sei?
silviagreen Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 It's a great interview, they spoke with Billie about the new album, with references to the social and political situation..I now have some free time so I'm going to translate it
Another Urchin Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I'm glad you're going to do it because it took me 35 minutes to do that first page and I'm sure I still screwed it up. Just for fun (or if people really want to read part of it before a good translation is posted) here's what I came up with. This is page 6, while the rest is a separate article. I'm guessing the next few pages were other punk bands?Jaelle or Silivagreen, I look forward to a much better translation, so in bocca al lupo In the era of Dookie, Green Day were three "wankers" that were entertained singing punk rock, they were able at the same time bring back to the fore (and to the charts) this genre of music. But, like I had already said some time ago, few would have bet on a career so long culminating (so far) with a masterpiece that answers to the name "American Idiot", that is found today on their legitimate descendant in the new "21st Century Breakdown". Definitely it is past the time of "Basket Case" until the song that gives the title of the new disc and begins "Born into Nixon I was raised in hell..." *. Green Day became in these years the group of all, to their concerts there are young people "in search of rebellion", the fans that grew up with the band and some person that particularly appreciate political undertaking ** and the social manifestation of the last works. The group of Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré allow the publication of two concept albums in succession, making a pause with Foxboro Hot Tubs and recording a piece for the sake of benefit (The Saints are Coming) with U2. These freedoms are in few to have today, believe me. Futher to a beautiful interview with the three of Berkeley you will indicate also the review of the new disc***. I am sorry, but we refuse to write of a disc, of most importance****, after having listened to only 8 pieces of 18 included in the disc. In short, we present to you other three bands in a certain sense similar to Green Day, you want for background, you want for attitude. Punk, that some gave death of at least 30 years, is instead still beautifully alive.* Yeah, I have no idea how to translate this sentence. The first half is probably accurate** wordreference says impegno can be commitment, undertaking, engagement, or a bunch of other things.*** Sorry about these last two sentences, when there's an actual good translation, what is written might actually make sense.**** perdipiù appears to be per (for) di (of) and piu (more) combined.
Foxboro Hot Tubs Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I shouldn't always sleep in italian classes in school ... :/
Minority_GD Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 The magazine looks like the german 'visions' magazine
Wolfdemon Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I took 4 years of Italian and I can probably help with some, but unfortunately I don't have time right now because I have rehearsal soon.
