Timo Tolkki
Timo Tolkki,1966年3月3日出生,Stratovarius樂隊的當家吉他手。
Timo Tolkki,1966年3月3日生於芬蘭的Klaukkala,是芬蘭首席古典旋律金屬大老Stratovarius樂隊的當家吉他手,其個人風格深受 Ritchie Blackmore、Randy Rhoads 等前輩的影響。他以濃厚的古典音樂背景為其基礎,並以巴洛克調式音階理論編寫樂句。這些年來 Timo 為騰雲創作出經典樂曲的同時,也致力於個人專輯的製作。1994 年發表的個人首張作品 "Classical Variations and Themes",部份內容取材自古典樂曲。
2002 年發表第二張個人作品"Hymn To Life”《Are you the One》選自他的第二張專輯,這首歌是荷蘭哥特厄運樂隊within temptation主唱sharon den adel與timo tolkki合作的結晶。
Lord of the Rings 以吉他演奏為主軸,文藝復興時代的氣息散發在全曲之中,巴哈的風味明顯表現在Timo的演奏手法上。Fire Dance Suite 是首速度金屬曲,描述神秘的祭典之中,火舞將燃燒的靈魂吞噬,精湛的電吉他獨奏令人嘆為觀止。Guitar Concerto 是首吉他協奏曲,原作為 Aranjuez,Timo 以木吉他彈奏出感人的心靈之歌。 Northern Lights 為電吉他演奏曲,強烈的節奏如火焰般照亮北方的天空,如照示明燈般導引出一條康庄大道。Capriccio in A Minor 是首演奏小品,以小調音階即興的彈出隨興之想,有如帕格尼尼再世。Back to the Ice Age 詭異的曲式帶我們回到史前的冰河時期,剎那之間思緒凍結在白蝁紀。Death of the Swan 改編自俄國音樂大師柴可夫斯基的名曲《天鵝湖》,優雅的天鵝隨著 Timo的 十指起舞,奏出天鵝的輓歌,讓人為之動容感動不已。Soldiers Prayer 描寫人類的悲哀,相殘只為爭權奪利,殺戮遊戲中何時能發現真理?Flying Samir 飛揚的音符奔放在流暢的旋律之中,時空回到巴洛克的宴饗之中。Sunwinds 以即興的手法表現出日正當中狂風呼嘯的情景,多聲部吉他運用效果器重疊出和聲的感覺,有如艷陽高照。Greensleeves 重新詮釋古典名曲 《綠袖子》,這首英國傳統民謠在尼龍吉他與電吉他的交織之下,顯得格外感人動聽。
Timo Tolkki 這張個人處女作專輯 Classical Variations and Themes,無論是吉他演奏上的精采表現、或是樂曲製作的完美度,可說是表現可圈可點,就像是 Yngwie Malmsteen 的個人處女作專輯 《Rising Force》,絕對是值得收藏的古典金屬經典名盤。

查理·卓別林(1889-1977)在《大獨裁者》(1940)中的演說
Fight For Liberty
為自由而戰
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business.
很抱歉,我不想做統治者——我對此毫無興趣。
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
我不想統治任何人,也不想征服任何人。
I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white.
如果可以的話,我願意幫助每一個人,不管是猶太人,非猶太人,黑人,還是白人。
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.
我們都樂意相互幫助。這是人類的天性。
We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
我們都樂意生活在他人的幸福之中,而不是眼看著他人痛苦。
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
我們都不願互相仇恨,互相歧視。
In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
在這個世界上,有足夠的空間讓每個人得以生存,而土地是豐饒的,可以使每一個人都豐衣足食。
The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way.
生命可以是自由的,美好的。但我們失去了這樣的生活。
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
貪婪毒害了人類的靈魂——它把世界鎖在仇恨當中;它操縱的軍隊邁著正步,將我們領入痛苦與殺戮。
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
我們發展了速度,卻孤立了自己。
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
機器為我們提供了更多可能,卻給我們帶來了更多慾望。
Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.
學識把我們變得刻薄,才智把我們變得冷酷無情。
We think too much and feel too little.
我們思考得太多,感受得太少。
More than machinery, we need humanity.
然而我們需要的是人性,而不是機械性。
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
是溫和友善,而不是才智。
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
少了這些品質,生命將陷於暴戾,而我們將喪失一切。
The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
這類發明的性質本身就在呼喚人類的善良,呼喚全世界的友愛團結。
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
就像現在,我的聲音傳向世界各地無數人們的耳中,傳向無數的絕望的人們:男人,女人,孩子。所有在這個折磨和禁錮無辜者的體制下承受犧牲的人們。
To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair.
所有能聽到我聲音的人們,請聽我說,不要絕望。
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
我們現在所承受的不幸,僅僅是來自一部分人的貪婪和痛苦,他們害怕的是當今人類的進步。
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.
人們的仇恨終會消逝,獨裁者也註定會死去,而他們從人民手中擄走的權利終將交還給人民。
And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
只要我們不畏犧牲,自由就永遠也不會消失!
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel!
戰士們!別聽命於殘暴的野蠻人——他們蔑視你們,奴役你們;控制你們,告訴你們怎樣行事,怎樣思考,甚至怎樣感受!
Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
他們訓練你們,供養你們,像牲口似的對待你們,把你們視如炮灰。
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
別聽命於這些變態的人——這些有著機器頭腦、機器心臟的機器人!
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
你們不是機器,不是牲口,你們是人!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
你們心裡擁有的是人性之愛!
You don't hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
你們心裡沒有仇恨。只有得不到愛、喪失理性的人才會心懷仇恨。
Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
戰士們!不要為了奴役而戰!要為自由而戰!
In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness!
人民啊,你們擁有權利,你們有權創造機器,創造幸福!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
人民啊,你們有權活得自由活得美好,有權享受生命這一場奇妙的旅程!
Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
因此,讓我們以民主的名義行使這種權利。
Let us all unite.
讓我們全體團結起來。
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.
為一個嶄新的世界而戰,那是一個美好的世界,它使壯有所用,少有所求,老有所安。
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power.
正是因為許下了這樣的承諾,一群野蠻人竊取了人民的權利。
But they lie! They do not fulfill that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.
但他們完全是在撒謊!他們根本沒能履行那些承諾!並且永遠不會!獨裁者只是讓自己享受自由,卻奴役他的人民。
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise.
現在就讓我們自己起來戰鬥,來兌現承諾。
Let us fight to free the world!
讓我們起來戰鬥,解放全球!
To do away with national barriers!
去消滅國家的界限!
To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance!
消滅貪慾,消滅仇恨,消滅
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
讓我們為一個理性的世界而戰,讓科學與進步為全人類造福。
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
戰士們,讓我們以民主的名義團結起來!
