“明天，我们可以在这个城镇周围开车…透明
上面有更多的重量明天在其他情况下可能会有。合唱杜松子酒嘿，嫉妒is one of rock music’s great bait-and-switches – it promises freedom, abandon, rebellion, hit after hit after hit. But it’s a miserable song. Its giddiness is all surface. It’s really about regret, and missed chances. Thirty years later, it’s still about Doug Hopkins.
当乐队或歌曲与外面的某人看时，总是特别残酷。霍普金斯写道嘿，嫉妒in the late 1980s – it’s about drinking and missing someone who’s cut ties with you because you’re always drinking. It’s about Hopkins and his ex, and in 1992 it came to be about Hopkins and Gin Blossoms, who fired him as they worked on their major label debut新的悲惨经历。
霍普金斯（Hopkins嘿，嫉妒hit its peak on the Billboard chart. He was 32. The song’s success confirmed Gin Blossoms and his writing as a sleeper hit with folks who had angst to burn but maybe didn’t have the stomach for grunge. “It wasn’t the Blossoms, it wasn’t a gun, it was alcohol that killed Doug Hopkins,” his friend and bandmate Lawrence Zubia said at the time. “He couldn’t give it up.”
酒吧乐队
Hopkins co-founded Gin Blossoms with bassist Bill Leen in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. By the following year, they were shuffling members around the place, with Jesse Valenzuela shifting from vocals to rhythm guitar, allowing Robin Wilson to go the opposite direction. Within a short while, they became something close to the house band at Long Wong’s in the city, rattling off wild, boozy sets on Friday and Saturday nights.
“They would play all night long… so you can imagine how many beers and whatnot made their way to the stage,” booker Sara Cina toldPhoenix杂志Niki d'Andrea在2014年。“所以到深夜，有很多疯狂的事情。罗宾（Robin）和道格（Doug）会进行鸡打架，罗宾（Robin）会跳到道格（Doug）的顶部，观众中的人们会做同样的事情，而道格（Doug）弹吉他和罗宾（Robin）的歌声时，他们会进行鸡打架。”
There’s some of this loose, wooly wildness in Gin Blossoms’ first LP,灰尘, released in 1989 by the tiny label San Jacinto Records. Here, with an amped-up and slightly too-fast嘿，嫉妒在第九号轨道上，乐队更多Replacements比图表证书。在这种情况下，霍普金斯的过剩将成为家具的一部分。但这不是这列火车前进的地方：他们早早而不是迟到，并在1990年与A＆M签约。
Sideways fast
After spluttering to life with the EP向上崩溃在与迪斯坦泰坦制片人Albhy Galuten的灾难性会议之后，追踪是为了使他们摆脱创意的放克，杜松子酒开花前往孟菲斯和Ardent Studios，这是一个与Big Star和Power Pop Pop Nirvana密不可分的地方，以创造新的记录。霍普金斯带来了吉他 - 通常是橙色的阳光莱斯·保罗– and his songs with him, along with a whole load of problems. Things went sideways fast.
Hopkins was apparently so blitzed during the sessions that he sometimes couldn’t, or wouldn’t, play. He tried to escape, D’Andrea reported, but got arrested at the airport for public intoxication. “Most of Doug’s guitar on the album was recorded when we were tracking drums,” producer John Hampton, who had engineered the Replacements’很高兴认识我在Ardent，后来告诉磁铁。
“他无法重新录制自己的部分。你看过电影吗Leaving Las Vegas？尝试与这样的人制作唱片。也许这只是达到所有期望的压力，但这是道格（Doug）一生都在等待的机会，而不是变得像Noel Gallagherand assuming a leadership role, he went in completely the other direction.”
乐队 - 或他们的唱片公司，取决于您的信念 - 在闭幕式中召集了86个霍普金斯的决定，召集了另一位Tempe播放器Scott Johnson。威尔逊告诉威尔逊告诉Phoenix。“There’s no heavier responsibility for a young group.”
Kick out the jams
This experience would leave its own scars, but the sadness found in新的悲惨经历is baked in and almost celebratory – it’s not alt-rock or grunge, it’s pure power-pop. It’s not a product of the trouble the band had making the album, it’s bubbling under all the way through, even if it rarely punctures the surface. The fact that the LP has a breakout single makes the way it maintains momentum and tone all the more impressive – despite its dark heart, the overall impression is of a band kicking out jam after jam after jam, keeping a crowd at Long Wong’s moving.
这是吉他，霍普金斯和多任务处理的瓦伦苏埃拉在节奏零件中切碎的吉他，霍普金斯和多任任务之间的几乎心灵感应相互作用，因为威尔逊的声学增加了质感。查看开头的分钟丽塔夫人，由瓦伦苏埃拉（Valenzuela）和吉姆·斯瓦福德（Jim Swafford）撰写，以看到这种动态的全面流动：有一个挑选的线索阿呆与阿瓜- 基于和弦的jangle和涌入和流出的单独驱动的独奏。听起来像法兰绒。
When Gin Blossoms slow down a little – see another Hopkins original in the hitFound Out About You- 有一些REM’sPeter Buckin their use of circular chord patterns, while on the other end of the scale the Hopkins-Wilson co-writeHold Me Downrocks in very simple terms. It has a chunkiness and grit that doesn’t appear forced as much as it simply feels like changing gears, and Hopkins is a master of transforming slashing, unruly lines into melodic counterpoints.
共享悲惨的经历
What came next was initially just a huge bummer on both sides of the ledger. Hopkins went home to Tempe, drinking, playing in promising bands and skittling through interventions and hospital stays and attempts to get sober. It got ugly financially with the band, too, and there was bad blood and mud-slinging over royalties on新的悲惨经历。愤怒徘徊，饮料和沮丧也是如此。威尔逊（Wilson）与杜松子酒（Gin Blossoms）一起巡回演出时，走进了长黄（Long Wong）。“他（霍普金斯）走了起来，冷却了我……把我撞倒了，把我撞倒了。他说：“你是bit子的儿子！’Phoenix。
杜松子酒，meanwhile, had a dud on their hands. They returned to the road and, until嘿，嫉妒almost improbably hit radio paydirt in California and one of its multiple videos got picked up by MTV, appeared to be going nowhere except the town at the end of their van’s bonnet. A year after it was released, though, the band had a hit song, and新的悲惨经历还有更多的来源。Found Out About You成为他们第二名的40个粉碎，动力不断滚动。最终，唱片在美国变四铂。
后人民，有时事情仍然很脆弱，乐队的新歌更像是有效的。他们没有那种狂热的精神 - 霍普金斯比克里斯·贝尔（Bob Stinson）比克里斯·贝尔（Chris Bell）更多，您无法复制这种无政府状态的创造力。他获得了金纪录嘿，嫉妒shortly before he died, but smashed it. “I don’t think he cared, at that point,” his girlfriend Sara Quijas recalled to D’Andrea. “[Gin Blossoms] were driving away in his car, as he put it.”
