9 Fifty Years and Counting

CHAPTER 9 Fifty Years and Counting By the early 1990s, the Stones had been playing together for thirty years. This new decade brought some changes to the band. Bill Wyman decided to leave the Stones. Charlie released a solo jazz album with the Charlie Watts Orchestra. Ron, Mick, and Keith each released solo albums. Ron, who had always been an artist, held exhibitions of his paintings.

到20世纪90年代初，滚石乐队已经在一起演奏了30年。 新的十年给乐队带来了一些变化。 比尔·怀曼决定离开滚石乐队。 查理与查理·沃茨管弦乐队合作发行了一张爵士独奏专辑。 罗恩、米克和基思各自发行了个人专辑。 罗恩一直是个艺术家，他举办了自己的画展。

But the band was unstoppable. They signed a multimillion dollar record deal with Virgin Records. In 1994, they toured for their album Voodoo Lounge, with Darryl Jones replacing Bill. During that tour, one of their Dallas performances became the first major live concert to be streamed over the Internet. The album won them a Grammy, an award given for outstanding work in the music industry, for best rock album. Once that world tour ended, they started another tour to promote their album Bridges to Babylon.

但乐队是不可阻挡的。 他们与维珍唱片公司签订了一份价值数百万美元的唱片合约。 1994年，他们巡回演出了他们的专辑Voodoo Lounge，由Darryl Jones代替Bill。 在那次巡演中，他们在达拉斯的一场演出成为首个通过互联网直播的大型现场音乐会。 这张专辑为他们赢得了格莱美最佳摇滚专辑奖，这是一个颁发给音乐界杰出作品的奖项。 世界巡演结束后，他们开始了另一次巡演，宣传他们的专辑《通往巴比伦的桥梁》。

The band was still going strong. The Stones were all in their fifties. They seemed to have more energy than ever before. When someone asked if this tour was their last one, Keith answered, "Yes—and the next five." The Stones continued to work hard to write music, make albums, and perform for fans.

乐队仍然很活跃。 滚石乐队成员都是五十多岁的人。 他们似乎比以前更有精力了。 当有人问这是否是他们的最后一次巡演时，基思回答说：“是的，还有接下来的五次。” 滚石乐队继续努力创作音乐，制作专辑，为歌迷表演。

They released albums and held large-scale tours into the 2000s. In 2002, the Rolling Stones released Forty Licks to mark their forty years together. No other rock band in the world had played together that long. Their Bigger Bang tour lasted for two years, from August 2005 to August 2007. It included the halftime show at the 2006 Super Bowl in Detroit, Michigan. On

进入21世纪后，他们发行了专辑，并举行了大规模巡演。 2002年，滚石乐队发行了《四十舔》来纪念他们在一起的四十年。 世界上没有其他摇滚乐队在一起演奏这么长时间。 他们的big Bang巡演持续了两年，从2005年8月到2007年8月。 它包括2006年在密歇根州底特律举行的超级碗中场秀。 在

the football field, they played on a stage shaped like their own logo: a gigantic lips and tongue. The tour included 147 concerts to about four and a half million people in thirty-two countries around the world. The band kept on doing what they did best: playing rock and roll.

在足球场，他们在一个形状像他们自己标志的舞台上表演：一个巨大的嘴唇和舌头。 这次巡演包括147场音乐会，在全球32个国家约有450万人参加。 乐队继续做着他们最擅长的事情：演奏摇滚乐。

Dread Pirate Richards Keith Richards's well-known style—head scarf, earrings, black eye makeup, and silver rings—became the inspiration for Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow, in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. In 2008, Keith himself appeared as Captain Jack's father in the third movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

基思·理查兹著名的风格——头巾、耳环、黑眼妆和银戒指——成为了约翰尼·德普在《加勒比海盗》电影中扮演的杰克船长的灵感来源。 2008年，基思本人在第三部电影《加勒比海盗：世界的尽头》中饰演杰克船长的父亲。
