以前的攻擊！曼尼·弗蘭克（Johnny Franck）的歡樂搖滾項目比爾穆里（Bilmuri）在去年發行了超酷的超酷專輯American Motor Sports and Tours，帶有睡眠代幣和babymetal爆發。

Now, as Bilmuri prepare for huge 2024 festival slots and a headline tour, guitarist Reese Maslen tells Total Guitar how the band's unique sound was achieved on one of the year's hottest records.

現在，當Bilmuri為2024年的大型節日插槽做準備時，吉他手Reese Maslen告訴Total Guitar，吉他是如何在當年最熱門的唱片之一中實現樂隊獨特的聲音。

Better Hell has been a smash hit. What do you think makes the song so special?

更好的地獄是一個巨大的打擊。您認為這首歌如此特別？

Johnny Franck: “I think it’s getting the simple things right. That main lead took four guitarists to get right in terms of articulation, even though it sounds simple.

約翰尼·弗蘭克（Johnny Franck）：“我認為這是正確的事情。

“I had a dude from Mississippi, Eric Woolard, put some really traditional country on there. The country guys are some of the best in the world, but they don't get as much credit as the prog guys. Shining a light on how cool country guitar can be was important to me.”

“我有一個來自密西西比州的傢伙，埃里克·伍德（Eric Woolard）在那兒把一些真正的國家人物放在了世界上。

There’s a great blend of modern rock tones and acoustic.

現代搖滾音調和聲學融合了。

Franck: “Modern music can sound like a fucking computer – I hate that. It felt like a tightrope walk, but by blending organic instruments with the digital sound, I felt like I created a good middle ground between the two.

弗蘭克：“現代音樂聽起來像是一台他媽的計算機 - 我討厭那個。感覺就像是一條鋼絲的步行，但是通過將有機樂器與數字聲音融合在一起，我覺得我在兩者之間創造了一個很好的中間立場。

“You get the power and clarity of the low-end on the digital side, but you get the purity of the acoustics. I don’t feel like those two things have really been brought together before in a way that was as satisfying.”

“您在數字方面獲得了低端的力量和清晰度，但是您會得到聲學的純度。

Live, Reese, you do most of the heavy lifting on the guitar.

Reese Live，您會在吉他上進行大部分繁重的舉動。

Reese Maslen: “I come strictly from the metal world. When I joined, the first thing that Johnny sent me was A COWBOYS HEAVY LOAD, saying, ‘Can you do this solo?’ and I was like, ‘I don't fucking know!’ I’d never tried to do chicken picking before. This band has forced me to learn a lot of different styles.”

里斯·梅斯倫（Reese Maslen）：“我嚴格來自金屬世界，約翰尼送我的第一件事是牛仔沉重的負擔，說：“你能獨奏嗎？”我當時想，“我不知道！”我從來沒有嘗試過採摘雞肉。

Franck: “Oftentimes I’ll have something in my head that I have no ability to do, and I’m like, ‘Reese, can you do this?’ and he’ll figure out a way. We’ve been making interludes for this new tour so we can flex a bit; I was like, ‘Reese, can you do this thumping thing like I hear it in my head?’ He figured that out pretty quickly!”

弗蘭克：“通常，我腦海中我沒有能力做的事情，我想，'里斯，你能做到嗎？”他會找出一種方式。他很快就知道了！”

I feel like every flavor of one through four serves the overall pie of Bilmuri. Except fifth position

我覺得一到四個的每一種口味都為比爾穆里的整體餡餅服務。除了第五位

You don’t make his life easy, then?

那你不讓他的生活變得輕鬆嗎？

Franck: “I throw him in the deep end a lot! What’s really interesting is that a lot of these solos are written in standard, and Reese had to transpose them to DADGAD for live.”

弗蘭克：“我將他扔到了很多東西上！

Maslen: “We don’t have the infrastructure to do effective guitar switching, so it was out of necessity. It really does feel like you’re rediscovering how to play guitar; I’ve just figured out how to sweep in DADGAD. It’s so goofy, and it looks super-weird, but it’s really unlocked something for me.”

馬斯倫：“我們沒有進行有效的吉他切換的基礎架構，因此它是不必要的。確實感覺就像您正在重新發現如何彈吉他；我只是想出瞭如何在Dadgad掃地。它是如此的愚蠢，而且看起來超級差異，但它確實為我解鎖了一些東西。”

You’re both Strat players.

你們都是Strat球員。

Franck: “Almost everything is a Strat in the fourth position. It’s still got aggression, but it’s got this jangle that I’ve been searching for my whole life. Single coils going through a heavy amp have this depth to them that humbuckers just can’t get.

弗蘭克：“幾乎所有的策略仍然是侵略性的，但是我一直在尋找我的一生。

“I feel like every flavor of one through four serves some sort of thing in the overall pie of Bilmuri. Except fifth position – f*ck that; it sounds like ass! But 95 percent of it is that fourth position. I just get my guitar modded so that if it’s all the way down, it’s in the fourth position.”

“我覺得每一個到四個的味道都在比爾穆里的整體派中，除了第五個位置 - 聽起來像是屁股！

And you’ve always whacked an EverTune on your Strat.

而且，您總是在Strat上發揮出來的作用。

Franck: “No-one wants to see a singer tune a guitar on stage. Reese can go back and tune while I’m talking to the audience. Actually, there’s a lot of feeling that could get lost if Reese was on EverTune. I’m there to collect the energy of the crowd and put it back out.”

弗蘭克：“沒有人想在我與觀眾交談時，在舞台上看到一位吉他。

What amps are you running?

您正在運行什麼放大器？

Maslen: “We’ve just switched to Quad Cortex. We used Line 6 Helix on the Sleep Token tour in the UK and it was a nightmare. They were constantly buzzing and we were constantly having to troubleshoot, which Sleep Token never had to do. That was the turning point.

Maslen：“我們剛剛改用了四質皮層。我們在英國的睡眠代幣之旅中使用了6號線螺旋，這是一場噩夢。它們一直在嗡嗡作響，我們一直在嗡嗡作響，我們一直不得不進行故障排除，這是Sleep Token從來沒有必要的。這就是轉折點。

“We spent a weekend jamming and getting tones together, then a week later I opened it up and it sounded like shit! I don't know what we were on, but it was not good. So I fell back to what I know: a Mesa head with a Marshall cab. A lot of the clean tones are Match

“我們度過了一個週末，並在一周後打開它，聽起來像是狗屎！
