介紹
用文字講音樂,是一件很愚蠢的事,要以三言兩語去談搖滾,更是愚不可及。不過請讓筆者做一回愚人,容許花上今期篇幅談談本地重型搖滾樂隊 ANODIZE(阿龍大)。

ANODIZE 於動盪的1989年正式組成,在大碟《大車店》中《亞龍大》如此唱出自己:「你問我亞龍大係乜o野樣,我話畀你知唔會點好樣,5條大悶棍,但又有o的理 想,認為呢個世界唔應該咁樣……我o地為o左個理想,所以唔死得,玩音樂得到乜,付出o既唔記得,音樂帶o黎o既快樂,冇o左佢唔得……」。

「5條大悶棍」分別是主音阿華、結他手阿其與Gary、低音結他手Jimmy及鼓手Davy(大飛)。ANODIZE共推出3隻大碟及2張EP,唱 片中大部分歌詞均由阿華操刀,而他滄桑中帶點溫柔的聲線,配合成員出神入化的樂器演繹,完全表現出樂隊的震撼力、破壞力與感染力。

1994 年,ANODIZE推出首張同名大碟《ANODIZE》,當中《亂》、《怒火》、《末世紀》俱能展現樂隊憤世嫉俗的怒吼,而當中滿帶落寞及孤獨氣氛的《少 了……》,其實是獻給BEYOND的黃家駒——「這一個晚上,瑟縮於街上;每一個角落,也添上悲傷。從今天開始,我已失去你的印象,孤單的感覺又再令我心 傷。遠去的告別,心中禱告著;你去的以後,還留下思想……就讓這故事留存永遠……」。

1995 年以人民大會堂為封套設計的《大車店》,是ANODIZE為追尋音樂上更遼闊的視野,毅然放下香港的一切,進駐中國搖滾重鎮——北京兩個半月的成果。《大車店》涉獵的範圍甚廣,反毒品的《快樂藥》、反飆車的《速》、反濫交的《錯種》,以至對祖國流露關切之情的《俯身》及《故鄉》,見證ANODIZE的成熟 視野,亦令樂迷擴闊眼光。

1997 年的第3張大碟《ACTION FIGURES》大玩crossover,邀得著名figure創作大師Michael Lau為成員製作人形公仔。《ACTION FIGURES》貫徹歇斯底里搖滾風格,《陌生都市》、《活受罪》、《新聞報導》對社會控訴的演繹更見駕輕就熟,而《摯友》的歌詞「再見過去的宇宙,雨後 仰望那北斗。透過了相對十載後,替我歡笑與擔憂……每次借醉解困惑,緊握雙手,對碰杯訴說著感受,彷彿醫理我傷口……終此生不再孤獨,難得的你沒改變,我 看到唯獨是你共享福禍,如永不滅記憶……」,正正道出真友誼的難能可貴。

1999年,是ANODIZE的第10個年頭,是EP《ANODiZE4》面世的日子,《也許》亦成為絕唱。

2000年4月16日,ANODIZE在商業電台《組band時間》節目內宣布暫時解散。短短的10年間,見證樂隊由粗糙走到成熟、視野由個體走向 世界、由《ANODIZE》誕生到《ANODiZE4》的終結,恍如一個生命的成長過程。

20年後的今天——2009,世界仍充滿紛爭、充滿戾氣、充滿社會問題;20年後的今天,筆者的音樂世界裡,仍充滿著「5條大悶棍」聲嘶力竭的搖滾 聲音。

BIOGRAPHY
It goes without saying that Anodize is one of the most successful/important bands to come out of the Hong Kong underground band scene of the 90’s.  Their brand of melodic heavy metal, was able to break into the mainstream conscious without much of any compromising to their music, and has influenced countless bands along the way.

Anodize is comprised of 孫國華 (Ah Wah) on vocals, on 鄭華勝 (Gary), and 黃貫其 (K.K.) on guitars, 麥文威 (Jimmy) on bass and 陳匡榮 (Davy Chan) on drums.  Due to difficulties in people pronouncing their band name, Anodize is also pronounced as “Ah Lung Dai” which translates to A Dragon Big (亞龍大) in Chinese.

Their music predominately falls into the category of 80’s heavy metal and grunge with more experimentation on sounds and effects in their later albums.  Their songs are all predominately Cantonese, but they occasionally sing in Mandarin as well.

The band was formed in 1989, but would not release any material till the mid 90’s starting with their self titled album in 1994.  They were signed to the label 音樂傳訊 (Music Communications), and would go onto release 4 albums before calling it quits in 2000.

All members of the band but K.K. would later move on to the rap metal collective L.M.F. (Lazy Mutha Fucka).  While K.K. moved onto form his own project Sonic Temple.

I like to spend my time on the internet searching for the meaning of life. When I am not doing this you can find me listening to music or playing the bass…or stuffing myself silly on Burritos.
