"People used to ask me 'Why don’t you guys get together and just play one gig?' Because it takes the same amount of preparation for one good show as a six-month tour," he told the magazine. "I never wanted to be the guy to put this band back on a stage and pop everyone’s bubble and have them go home saying 'Oh, they weren’t that good.' Plus, it may have taken that long to forget the drunken parking-lot fight that marked the band’s end. But 30 years have passed, and everybody is a grown-up now, with a life."
“人們過(guò)去常常問(wèn)我,‘你們?yōu)槭裁床痪墼谝黄?,只開(kāi)一場(chǎng)演出呢?’”因?yàn)橐粓?chǎng)精彩的演出所需要的準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間和六個(gè)月的巡回演出一樣多。”“我從來(lái)沒(méi)想過(guò)把樂(lè)隊(duì)重新推上舞臺(tái),打破所有人的幻想,讓他們回家后說(shuō)‘哦,他們沒(méi)那么好。’”另外,也許花了這么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才忘記了標(biāo)志著樂(lè)隊(duì)結(jié)束的那場(chǎng)醉酒停車(chē)場(chǎng)斗毆。但是30年過(guò)去了,現(xiàn)在每個(gè)人都長(zhǎng)大了,有了自己的生活。”
