“He ʻoluʻolu no ka mea ua hele mākou i kahi lōʻihi no ʻelua makahiki, i koʻu hele ʻana i ka huakaʻi i kēia manawa, ua maʻalahi ia no ka mea ua noho ʻole mākou kekahi i kekahi no kekahi manawa. A laila ke ʻike mākou kekahi i kekahi, hoʻopau wale mākou a hauʻoli. "
Ua lilo ʻo ia i hoihoi i ke mele i kona wā ʻōpiopio
Mahalo nui ʻo Walker i kona makuakāne no ka hoʻolauna ʻana iā ia i nā mea pena kiʻi mai kona wā ʻōpio.
"Ua lawe koʻu makuakāne iaʻu i nā gigs he nui i koʻu wā e ulu ana. ʻO kaʻu gig mua aʻu e hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻo AC/DC i koʻu wā he 9 mau makahiki ma Palisa. He ʻike mua maikaʻi ia!” wahi a Walker.
"Ua hele wau a me Foo Fighters a me Muse a me BB King a me Underworld, Prodigy a me Slipknot - hele i Slipknot no ka mea makemake ʻo ia e ʻike i ka hui, ʻaʻole no koʻu makemake e ʻike iā Slipknot," wahi āna.
“Ua hele mākou i nā ʻaha mele kahiko, nā ʻahamele jazz a me nā mea hou aku. He mea hoʻoikaika maoli koʻu makuakāne. A maopopo iaʻu kaʻu mau hoaaloha e hoʻolohe ana i ka Sum 41 a me Green Day. "
Ua ʻike ʻo Walker ua makemake ʻo ia e hana i kāna mele ponoʻī ma hope o kahi hōʻike rock fatal.
“Mai kēlā gig AC/DC, ua noi au i kīkā no ʻelua makahiki. Ua kūʻai koʻu makuakāne iaʻu i kīkā no ka Kalikimaka a laila hoʻomaka. Ua kūʻai au i kahi pahu pahu i kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai a kūʻai aku i kahi bass, hoʻomaka i ka hana, hoʻomaka i ke mele, "wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo Walker: “ʻO ke kūlanakauhale aʻu i ulu ai ʻaʻohe mea hoʻokani pila, ʻo wau wale nō; ʻelua mau hale kūʻai, e like me ka hale kūʻai i kūʻai aku i nā mea ʻono, nā mea ʻono a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, a me nā lako mahiʻai a me kahi pahu hau. A ʻo ia wale nō. No laila ʻaʻohe mea e hana ai, no laila ua hoʻolilo wau i nā manawa āpau i loko o koʻu lumi moe e hana mele. Ua hana wau no ka mea, me he mea lā iaʻu ka mea e hana ai no ke koena o koʻu ola. Ua makemake wale au."
Ua mālama ʻo ia i kona ʻoluʻolu i kona hālāwai ʻana me Ed Sheeran
Aia ʻo Walker i ke kulanui kahi āna i aʻo ai i ka haku mele, ua ʻike ʻo ia iā Ed Sheeran.
"Ua hele au i Lādana i hoʻokahi pule, no ʻewalu pule, ma ke kaʻaahi a hoʻi a hoʻolohe aku iā Ed Sheeran," wahi a Walker. "Ua hoʻomaka wale ʻo ia i kēlā manawa. Ua puka mai ʻo ia ma YouTube me I Need You, I Don't Need You." A noʻonoʻo wau, "Inā hiki i kēia kanaka lauoho ʻulaʻula ke kākau i nā mele ʻoluʻolu a hana me ke kaomi ʻana i nā pedal acoustic, a laila no ke aha e hiki ʻole ai iaʻu ke hana?".
I ka wā i hana ai ʻo Walker i kāna album mua, ua hui ʻo ia me Sheeran ma ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo ma o kā lākou hoa hana ʻo Steve Mack.
“Ua hopohopo nui au, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu ka mea e ʻōlelo aku ai. Ke nānā nei au i hope, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu inā pono wau e ʻōlelo, "E, e kākau pū kāua i mele i kēia manawa!" Wahi a Walker. "Akā ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i ka mea e ʻōlelo aku ai iā ia, ʻoiai ʻo ia kekahi o kaʻu mau koa no ka mea aʻu i hoʻomaka ai e hana i kēia. Ua hū a hopohopo au."
He kōkua ʻo ia ma ka male ʻana
Ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kēkelē ma ka haku mele: “Ua huakaʻi au a puni ʻo Lākana no hoʻokahi makahiki, e hana ana hoʻi ma ke ʻano he kōkua. ʻO wau ke kanaka hele i nā hanana, mālama i ka poʻe ʻona, hōʻike iā lākou pehea e hana ai i kahi kiʻi kiʻi."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Walker no kāna ʻike ma mua: “No laila ua hana au i kēia no hoʻokahi makahiki, a ʻehā mau hola ʻelima, he mau manawa i ka pule. A i ka wā ʻaʻole wau e hana nei, e hana mau ana au i ka mele, e hoʻāʻo ana e uhaki. "
Ua lawe ʻo ia i kāna pāpale pūlima a me kāna ʻumiʻumi no ke kumu maikaʻi:
"ʻAe, ua kahi au i koʻu lauoho a pau no ka mea ua maʻi wau. ʻAʻole loaʻa iaʻu ka lauoho maikaʻi loa o ka honua, ua ʻike ʻia ka lahilahi, a ua hoʻoholo wau e ʻae wale i ka lanakila ʻana me ka lokomaikaʻi, i ke kakahiaka nui. He ʻelua a ʻekolu paha makahiki i koe. No laila, noʻonoʻo wale wau: "ʻAe, kā lākou, ma ka laulā, kēia lauoho!" Ua ʻakaʻaka ʻo Walker. "Ua ʻike au i nā kiʻi o koʻu makuakāne me kahi puʻupuʻu o Donald Trump i ka hele ʻana - ʻaʻole wau makemake i kēlā. Ua kahi au ia mea a pau i Gehena." Ua hoʻohui ʻo Walker: "E ke Akua, ua maʻalahi loa i kēia manawa - ala wau i ke kakahiaka a kau i koʻu pāpale. Maikaʻi!"".
