Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
1970年代のパンクシーンが80年代のニューウェイブの引き波に押し流されたとき、ザ・ゴーゴーズほど見事にこの変化を乗り切ったバンドは他に類例を見ない。このヴァレー・ガールズたちは、その音楽が威勢よくてなおかつ風変わりと思われるようにと、パンクの遺産を魅力的なセンスで装った。ピリッとしたシングルWe Got the BeatとOur Lips Are Sealedは、デビューした頃にヒットチャートを駆け上っていった作品で、実に派手派手しい曲だ。アルバムの残りの曲はもっと硬いからをかぶっている。例えば苛立ったようなCan't Stop the Worldは、ラモーンズを得意がらせることだろう。それからThis Townの歌詞の内容も見てみよう。「前に言ったセリフを変えなさい 私たちはみんな夢見る乙女、私たちはみんな淫売 捨てられたスター くたびれた車みたいに この町の通りを汚しまくれ」。ホールのシングルCelebrity Skinは、同じテーマで90年代に作ったものだ。「メイクをつけたまま起きたとき これほどくたくたになったことある? 甘い話なんてどこにもない 売女 女給 モデル 女優 もう、名前なんかなしにしよう」。コートニー・ラヴがその贅沢だが最低のライフスタイルを公開することで有名になったように、ハリウッドの自堕落なライフスタイルをテーマにしたゴーゴーズの歌は、彼女らもまたハードキャンディよりもハードな生活をしていることを暴露している。 --Beth Bessmer
From Amazon.com
When the 1970s punk scene was washed away by the undertow of '80s new wave, few bands surfed the transition as well as the Go-Go's. These Valley grrrls dressed up their punk heritage with a sense of glamour so that their music was at once ballsy and fanciful. The peppery singles "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" were their debut's chart climbers and glossiest tracks. The rest of the album has a tougher crust. For example, the jittery "Can't Stop the World" would make the Ramones proud. And take a look at the lyrical content of "This Town": "Change the lines that were said before / We're all dreamers--we're all whores / Discarded stars / Like worn out cars / Litter the streets of this town." Hole's single "Celebrity Skin" is a '90s rendition of the same theme: "When I wake up with my makeup / Have you ever felt so used up as this? / It's all so sugarless / Hooker / Waitress / Model / Actress / Oh, just go nameless." Just as Courtney Love has made a career out of publicly displaying her glam-trash lifestyle, the Go-Go's song about the self-eroding lifestyles of Hollywood revealed that they, too, were more hard living than hard candy. --Beth Bessmer
