1981年8月1日,也就是40年前的今日,美國MTV正式開台,所選播的第一個MV,光是歌名就極具象徵性(也很挑釁)────《錄像殺死廣播明星 Video Killed the Radio Star》(1979)。關於「影音」的歷史,正是在那一天開啟了新局,對後世影響極其深遠。
.
一般認為,現代音樂錄影帶(Music video)的雛形源自理查.萊斯特(Richard Lester)為傳奇樂團披頭四(The Beatles)拍攝的《一夜狂歡 A Hard Day's Night》(1964)。作為一部揉合劇情與歌曲的粉絲電影,呈現形式就現在眼光來看,未必能說具有特殊之處。但在當時,它直接顯現了音樂產業的未來,具有開創時代的革新意義。
.
顯然歌迷將不能再滿足只透過廣播電台或唱片專輯來聆聽作品,他們也需要視覺的刺激,但是只看到歌手或樂團上電視節目表演的影像遠遠不足夠,他們進一步希望能夠走進影像編織的情節當中,更深入認識他們心中的偶像。經過一連的市場調查與實驗,一個全天候提供MV的電視台的構想逐漸成型中。
.
1981年8月1日,美東時間的上午12點1分,MTV台正式啟動,阿波羅11號發射的畫面出現在電視螢幕上,阿姆斯壯(Neil Armstrong)插上月球的旗幟被替換成了MTV台的旗幟。創辦人之一的傑克.雷克(John Lack)對觀眾說道:「先生、女士們,搖滾!(Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll !)」

至於開台的第一支MV,播放的則是由澳洲導演拉塞爾.馬爾卡希(Russell Mulcahy)執導的《錄像殺死廣播明星》,這首歌曲的演唱者則是來自英國的巴格斯樂團(The Buggles)。在影像之初,一個小女孩把耳朵靠在收音機上,在第一段副歌時,收音機被炸毀,而她則被傳送至一個帶有未來感的世界,而那顯然是一個由電視主宰的境地。

《錄像殺死廣播明星》
.
該歌曲本身在當時不算新歌,雖然頗受歡迎,卻稱不上是如何震撼人心的經典曲目。但其歌名已經說明了一切,MTV台試圖藉著它正式向世人宣示────新的時代已經到來。
.
過去美國歌迷不像現在有網路等媒介,常人只能透過所在位置的地方廣播電台來接受新歌資訊,亦即每個廣播電台的DJ猶如一個守門人,全權決定了什麼歌曲值得推薦給歌迷,而通常被廣推的歌曲或歌手往往較有機會走紅,也能帶動唱片買氣。但在MTV台開台之後,反而是電視台當中有介紹到的歌曲/歌手的唱片全數大賣。
.
果然,音樂結合影像的革命終於來了。
.
許多唱片公司彼時都在思考,該如何利用這個新的媒介來行銷自己旗下的歌手。而過去不少專注在執導電影、影集或紀錄片的影像創作者,也開始嘗試去適應這個新的「電影語言」。思考如何在短時間內讓歌手的形象得以突出,同時又能與歌曲本身的節奏以及歌詞的內容達到完美結合。對所有音樂產業從業者來說,這個改變固然是一種衝擊,但更是一個絕佳的機會。
.
向來走在時代前端的大衛.鮑伊(David Bowie)則更近一步看見了這種新型敘事的潛力,開始嘗試將政治議題納入在作品之中,推出了《中國女孩 China Girl》(1983)等作。不過第一支真正震撼世人的MV,當然還是麥可.傑克森(Michael Jackson)的14分鐘MV《顫慄 Thriller》(1983),它一樣選在MTV台問世。
.
流行音樂文化走進了與過去截然不同的新局,對於其它藝術媒介亦然,許多主流電影也吸收了MV敘事的特色,但這是後話了。
.
若非MTV台當時象徵性地選用《影像殺死廣播明星》作為宣示,它未必直到現代都被視為經典。不過好玩的是,數十年後,世人發現這部經典MV還藏有一個小彩蛋,原來在片中身著黑衣飾演鍵盤手的男子,後來成了舉世聞名的電影作曲家──漢斯.季默(Hans Zimmer)。

RIP sir George , one of greatest!!!
I’m so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin. I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George. From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.
It’s hard to choose favourite memories of my time with George, there are so many but one that comes to mind was the time I brought the song 'Yesterday’ to a recording session and the guys in the band suggested that I sang it solo and accompany myself on guitar. After I had done this George Martin said to me, "Paul I have an idea of putting a string quartet on the record". I said, “Oh no George, we are a rock and roll band and I don’t think it’s a good idea”. With the gentle bedside manner of a great producer he said to me, "Let us try it and if it doesn’t work we won’t use it and we’ll go with your solo version". I agreed to this and went round to his house the next day to work on the arrangement.
He took my chords that I showed him and spread the notes out across the piano, putting the cello in the low octave and the first violin in a high octave and gave me my first lesson in how strings were voiced for a quartet. When we recorded the string quartet at Abbey Road, it was so thrilling to know his idea was so correct that I went round telling people about it for weeks. His idea obviously worked because the song subsequently became one of the most recorded songs ever with versions by Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and thousands more.
This is just one of the many memories I have of George who went on to help me with arrangements on 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Live and Let Die' and many other songs of mine.
I am proud to have known such a fine gentleman with such a keen sense of humour, who had the ability to poke fun at himself. Even when he was Knighted by the Queen there was never the slightest trace of snobbery about him.
My family and I, to whom he was a dear friend, will miss him greatly and send our love to his wife Judy and their kids Giles and Lucy, and the grandkids.
The world has lost a truly great man who left an indelible mark on my soul and the history of British music.
God bless you George and all who sail in you!
Paul
