 Nazareth简介 Nazareth(拿撒勒)是一支苏格兰摇滚乐队的名称,由Darrel Sweet,Dan McCafferty,Pete Aqnew 和 Manuel "Manny" Charlton于1968年成立于苏格兰Dunfermline小镇,大不列颠重金属代表乐队。 Nazareth are a Scottish hard rock band formed in Dunfermline in 1968 that had several hits in the United Kingdom, as well as in several other Western European countries in the early 1970s. They established an international audience with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog, which featured their hits "Hair of the Dog" and a cover of the ballad "Love Hurts". The band continues to record and tour. 乐队组建 1966年,Darrell Sweet,Dan McCafferty和Pete Agnew在苏格兰的Dunfermline小镇上组建了一支名为THE SHADETTES的乐队。开始的时候他们仅仅是作为一支在酒吧里演唱的翻唱乐队,不过在奋斗了两年之后,他们决定自己闯出点名堂来,于是乐队又找来了另一个苏格兰人,Manuel "Manny" Charlton。就这样,Nazareth于1968年正式成立了。 乐队发展 在写出了一些自己的歌曲之后,NAZARETH开始不断地在欧洲各地巡演以期获得唱片公司的青睐。终于,在1971年的时候,乐队得以与A&M公司签约并发行了第一张专辑,Nazareth(拿撒勒城,圣经中地名),这张由Roy Thomas(后来成为QUEEN的制作人)监制的唱片开始了一段30年的摇滚历程。第二年,乐队继续巡演并发表了专辑Exercises(练习)。不过NAZARETH直到1973年的专辑Razamanaz才开始真正有所突破。这张由DEEP PURPLE的Roger Glover制作的专辑正式确立了NAZARETH的硬摇滚/重金属风格,专辑中包括了几首NAZARETH的经典作品,如Broken Down Angel,Bad Bad Boys以及标题曲。凭借这张专辑,乐队开始在英国国内赢得了一些影响。1974年的Loud 'n Proud(喧闹与骄傲)专辑(仍由Roger Glover制作)继续了Razamanaz的成功,专辑中最出色的一首歌是翻唱Joni Mitchell的This Flight Tonight,并不是说专辑里其他的歌曲不好,而是这首翻唱歌曲获得的成功甚至比Joni Mitchell的原版还要大,以至于日后人们一直以为这首歌就是NAZARETH原创的。1974年乐队还发表了一张相对更重更直接的摇滚专辑Rampant(繁茂),不过专辑似乎没有取得应有的成功。 经典专辑   1975年,专辑《Hair Of The Dog》出版发行,一举获得成功。这张经典的专辑一下子把乐队的地位提高到了足以和LED ZEPPELIN,BLACK SABBATH,DEEP PURPLE媲美的位置。在细数1975年的经典摇滚专辑时,相信很多人首先会提到Queen 的《A Night at the Opera》、Led zeppelin 的《Physical Graffiti》、Pink Floyd 的《Wish You Were Here》这三张,但是Nazareth 的《Hair Of The Dog》大家一定不能忽略,它的水准之高完全不亚于前三者。直到今天,人们仍然对这张专辑津津乐道。这张专辑结合了重型节奏和苏格兰民谣,在主唱高亢而具有撕裂性的嗓音演绎下非常独特,其中包括了为乐队首次获得排行榜冠军的单曲Love Hurts和经典的重金属歌曲Hair Of The Dog(大家其实都听过这首歌,在GUNS 'N ROSES的那张翻唱专辑中就有这首歌。这张专辑无疑也是70年代重金属乐坛最好的专辑之一。《Hair Of The Dog》中浓郁的布鲁斯味道贯穿始终,以Hair Of The Dog、Miss Misery、Changin' Times这样的早期重金属、硬摇滚作品为主,简洁有力,韵味十足;也不乏Guilty这样动人肺腑的抒情慢作;第五首由豪爽的“Beggar's Day”和抒情的吉他solo“Rose In The Heather ”两部分组成,有一些前卫气息;Whisky Drinkin' Woman画面感很强;结尾曲Please Don't Judas Me 荡气回肠地甚至有一些悲壮;专辑的整体性非常好。1976年乐队发表了一张小专辑,同时也是一部摇滚歌剧,《Close Enough For Rock N Roll(离摇滚足够近)》,其中包括了乐队的经典作品Telegram。之后乐队不断的进行巡演并成为一支出色的现场乐队。同年晚些时候乐队又发表了新的专辑Playin' The Game(游戏),而在1977年,专辑Expert No Mercy(心狠手辣)也推出了,专辑中包括了Gone Dead Train这样的经典曲目。1978年,Zal Cleminson作为第二吉他手加入了乐队,同年,乐队发行了新专辑No Mean City(不平凡的城市),这又是一张经典的重金属专辑,其中包括了名曲Star和May The Sunshine。在70年代后期,乐队就这样保持了旺盛的创作力,不断推出新的作品,渐渐的,他们在英国尤其是苏格兰成为家喻户晓的摇滚乐队。Nazareth is a Scottish hard rock band, founded in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1968, that had several hits in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, and established an international audience with their 1975 album Hair of the Dog. Perhaps their best-known hit single was a cover of the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant penned ballad, "Love Hurts, in 1975. The band continues to record and tour.Nazareth was formed out of the ashes of the semi-professional Dunfermline group The Shadettes formed in 1961 by vocalist Dan McCafferty, guitarist Manny Charlton (ex Mark V and The Red Hawks), bassist Pete Agnew, and drummer Darrell Sweet. They took their name from the first line of The Band's classic song "The Weight" ("I pulled into Nazareth / Was feelin' about half past dead…")The band moved to London, England in 1970, and released their self-titled debut album in 1971. After getting some attention with their second album Exercises, released in 1972, Nazareth supported Deep Purple on tour, and issued the Roger Glover produced, Razamanaz, in early 1973. This collection spawned two UK Top Ten hits, "Broken Down Angel" and "Bad Bad Boy". This was followed by Loud 'N' Proud in late 1973, which contained another hit single with a hard-rocking cover of Joni Mitchell's song "This Flight Tonight". Then came another album Rampant, in 1974, that was equally successful although its only single, "Shanghai'ed in Shanghai", narrowly missed the British Top 40. A non-album song, again a cover version, this time of Tomorrow's "My White Bicycle", was a UK Top 20 entry in 1975.Hair of the Dog was released in April 1975. The title track of that album (popularly, though incorrectly, known as "Son Of A Bitch" due to its chorus lyrics) became a staple of 1970s rock radio. The American version of the album included a song originally recorded by The Everly Brothers, and also covered by Roy Orbison, the melodic ballad "Love Hurts", that was released as a hit single in the UK and in the U.S., where it went platinum. The track became the band's only U.S. Top Ten hit. The song spent a record-shattering 60 weeks on the Norwegian chart.In 1979, second guitarist Zal Cleminson was added to the line-up, remaining for two albums, No Mean City and Malice in Wonderland, and contributing numerous compositions. Malice in Wonderland produced a popular AOR single called "Holiday". In 1981, they contributed the song "Crazy (A Suitable Case for Treatment)" to the soundtrack to the film, Heavy Metal.Various Nazareth line-ups continued to make studio albums and tour throughout the 1980s and 1990s, although their popularity had declined such that some albums no longer received either a UK or a U.S. release. They remained popular in Europe, particularly Germany, where "Dream On" became a hit single. Billy Rankin returned for a second spell in the ranks in 1991 for the No Jive album, replacing Manny Charlton who pursued a solo career.An unlikely tribute came in 1993 when Guns N' Roses covered Nazareth's "Hair of the Dog" on "The Spaghetti Incident?", consolation after they turned down Axl Rose's request for the group to play at his wedding. Rankin departed again in 1994, but with Jimmy Murrison and keyboard player Ronnie Leahy, Nazareth maintained a live following in Europe and the U.S.In 1999, while touring the U.S., original drummer Darrell Sweet died at age 51 of a heart attack. He was replaced by bassist Pete Agnew's son Lee for later editions of the band.In February 2008, 'The Newz' was released on the Hamburg-based label, Edel Entertainment. The release of the album coincided with Nazareth's fortieth anniversary tour, which started on 25 January in Sweden and visited most of Europe, finished on 4 November 2008 in Norway. A follow up album, 'Big Dogz', was released on 15 April 2011.Nazareth announced McCafferty's retirement from the band due to ill health on 28 August 2013, leaving Pete Agnew as the sole remaining original member of the band. On 22 February 2014, it was announced that Scottish singer Linton Osborne was chosen as McCafferty's replacement, with the former singer's blessing. In December 2014, Nazareth announced the cancellation of several shows, and later postponement of their UK tour, due to Osborne contracting a virus that left him unable to perform. In a post on his Facebook page 16 January 2015, Osborne announced his departure from the band.On 13 February 2015, the band announced that Carl Sentance, formerly of Persian Risk, Geezer Butler Band, and Krokus, was their new lead vocalist.In October 2018, the album 'Tattooed on My Brain', was released via Frontiers Records. 'The 50th Anniversary Tour' followed, spanning 2018 and 2019, along with German hard rock band Formosa as support.Frontiers Music Srl will release the new album from the legendary Scottish rock band NAZARETH, 'Surviving The Law', on April 15, 2022.Years Active1968 – present (54 years)Founded InDunfermline, Fife, Scotland, United KingdomMembersDan McCaffertyDarrell SweetJimmy MurrisonJohn LockeLee AgnewManny Charlton (1968 – 1990)Pete Agnew (1968 – present)
