[Megazone23]

So did they ever release any cd's? If so would anyone be kind enough to let me know where they found them.

Song is too good.

[baiNEKO]

Yeah they have some CDs -- I found them only in China, however! Let me look into some websites for ordering, and get back to you! Thanks for supporting this artist!! (otherwise, I would offer to email the mp3 to you) ;)

[Megazone23]

Ahh, wasn't sure of the dialect since I couldn't place it at the time.

Name of the song would be nice, too if anyone could hook that up?

[muzex]

Did you receive my reply?

[baiNEKO]

What's up. Name of the song is 伎俩 Also there's another video with this song in it (starts after one minute), ENJOY! (watch?v=FR0zExau3SI)

[Megazone23]

Excuse my ignorance but this is Cantonese, no?

[zeppelinwxt]

dude it is thouthands miles from Cantonese.

the band is singing in a northeast Chinese folk song tone.

[Megazone23]

This band is cool.  Any vids of this unlive?

[keen303]

In my opinion...this band like chinese's Marilyn Manson...

[WangDianshi]

i saw 2nd hand rose live at the famous CD Cafe (run by the woodwind icon Liu Yuan back then) off of 3rd ring freeway in 2001; Liang Long, i think that's the singer's name, was dressed up in a qipao-cheonsam(?); he had a good figure, so it actually looked good on him and his outlandish personality; this is chinese hard/folk rock with a very prominent ethnic flair!

[shinkochan2]

伎俩: Tricks

I've got to learn a few new tricks

to make you go on loving me

Since Art was born a mute, he's got

to find another way to speak...

Are you sick and tired of rock and roll,

or is rock just sick and tired of you?

Since Love is blind, he's got

to know his place before he speaks...

[brendanokane]

累 can't take an object, so

究竟摇滚是累坏你的身子儿

还是累坏了你这个人儿

ought to be something like

Is it that rock will wear your body out

or that it'll wear you right out?

[shinkochan2]

I concede your point, B.

But even if 累 can't take an object,

I can still take liberties.

I did consider something along the lines of

"wore out your body / sapped your soul", but couldn't come up with anything that seemed to make sense in English.

There are probably better possibilities.

[guanlei2007]

觉得虽然奇怪，但是很好听，古典和现代的结合

[RexNunc]

ok now I'm blind again

[Sarzuuk]

cool drag
