Chapter 1108 1108 Sweeping the United States
At this time, at least 40 million viewers sat in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the Grammys. According to the ratings statistics after the awards ceremony, when Glory to the Dead began to sing "Youth Heart", the number of people watching the live broadcast was in It jumped to 48 million in just 30 seconds, the highest viewership ever since Michael Jackson swept eight Grammys in 1984 — more than 5,100 at the time. Thousands of people tuned in to watch the Grammys live. And tonight, it seems that the moment of history was born again.
For the audience, Nirvana's "Youth Mind" is undoubtedly one of the most familiar songs: especially for young people today, but because the Grammys have never been to see Nirvana, which also makes Nirvana never able to appear On stage at the Grammys.
However, this year gave hope to the younger generation. The appearance of Pearl Jam and Sound Garden made grunge an important part of the Grammy stage. Although Kurt Cobain was unable to appear and Nirvana did not qualify for the Grammys, the historic appearance of the "Seattle Sound" at the Grammys is still of profound significance.
But the audience did not expect that there would be surprises after Pearl Jam's performance ended! The melody of "Youth's Heart" appeared in the performance of Glory to Death, which is definitely a moment worth going down in history!
No one will forget that on the "April 2 Stage" last year, Glory to the Dead and Nirvana did not compete head-to-head, but they surpassed the head-to-head confrontation, creating endless topics, and in the following days, Kurt ended his own life. This made the Fourth and Second Stage the only time the two bands were on the same stage, and the competition, inheritance, and confrontation between the two bands have also become a topic of discussion among fans.
Today, on the Grammy stage, in front of an audience of 40 million, Glory to Death expressed his respect for Nirvana in the most direct and boldest way. At this moment, Glory to Death fans and Nirvana fans, united!
The audience standing in front of the TV could not restrain their emotions for a long time, and stood up excitedly, or swayed their bodies with the rhythm of the music, or jumped around frantically, or played the air guitar as if they were themselves. A member of the band, or just like the live audience, is screaming like crazy, all just to be part of the show.
More than 40 million viewers, and the neighbors of these viewers are very annoyed at the moment, because the startled screams came from all directions, making them unable to watch their TV programs with peace of mind, and even making them feel "If you don't watch the Grammys at the moment, you are an outsider", so some people pushed open the window and yelled at their neighbors, but more people tuned their TV to CBS TV to watch the Grammys!
In this short period of time, the entire United States is mad for glory to the death, and the whole United States is cheering for the "juvenile spirit".
"A mutola! An albino! A mosquito! My libido! Yay! Hey! Yay!"
Hugo's roar is concise and powerful, and the singing voice full of pictures and freehand feelings vividly shows the essence of the song. The audience in front of the TV could not bear it any longer, and shouted along with Hugo, "A Mu. Torah! An albino..."
They blushed and shouted with all their might, it didn't matter if they couldn't touch even one percent of the essence of Hugo's singing, because they just wanted to be a part of it, they just wanted to melt themselves into the melody middle.
The overwhelming momentum evolved to the audience in the Holy Auditorium, and it formed a hurricane, starting from Jefferson Avenue and sweeping across the United States!
The 3,000 spectators at the scene, without exception, all stood, jumped up and down with the powerful drum beats, and then sang in unison with Hugo's singing, using this roaring method to calm the restlessness and excitement in their hearts. And the joy was released, and the uniform shouts continued to shine in the powerful performance of Glory to Death, illuminating the night sky of the entire west coast, just like the day.
The lighting engineer was stunned, the sound engineer was stunned, and Rick and Joseph were also stunned. They never expected that Glory to Death would be so successful in performing this "Youth Heart". The trembling from the depths of the soul was almost uncontrollable. Every listener fell into the melody.
Joey was stunned, Henry was stunned, and the executives of CBS TV and Grammys were also stunned. They didn't expect the influence of a song to be so strong, and Hugo's different versions of "Youth Mind" were actually in the grid. There was so much energy unleashed on the Las Vegas stage that it was almost irresistible.
Listen, the roar from the soul is ringing.
"A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection! A rejection!"
This is the most condensed, magical, and most wanton melody of the entire "Youth Mind". The simple and clear lyrics, however, endlessly release the innermost emotions. This is a struggle against the conservative forces of rock and roll. In the struggle against the stubborn ideology of the entire music market, this is a struggle against the mainstream of the whole society, which comes from the yearning for freedom, but also the pursuit of individuality.
"A rejection", they are refusing to be mainstream, refusing to be alien, refusing to be framed, refusing to be defined, refusing to be deified, refusing to be praised, refusing to be excluded, refusing to be assimilated, refusing to be dominated! Everyone is an independent individual in society. There is no rule that can define everyone, no concept that can bind everyone, and no style that can interpret everyone. Everyone has their own color, and Different!
Hugo's voice has reached the highest point. His voice is torn into countless pieces, fragmented in the melody, as if the perfect velvet was torn apart in the sun, and the scattered cotton wool is constantly flying in the air, against the background. The sunlight made this scene beautiful, as if it was an angel dancing with blood. That vicissitudes of life, that comprehension, and that feeling of relief are perfectly explained in the simplest lyrics.
The nine lines of the same lyrics show nine completely different styles and meanings, and the last trace of energy is tragically released in the heavy and powerful melody.
Glory to Death presents the soul of "Youth Heart Qi" in the most extreme way, which is different from Nirvana, but the same as Nirvana. Bosom friend, that's probably the case.
A performance of "Teenage Heart" is over, Hugo is gasping, the members of Dead of Glory are gasping, Joey and Henry are gasping, Joseph and Rick are gasping , all the staff and all the live audience are gasping for breath, all the audience in front of the TV is gasping for breath. The whole of America is breathing in the same rhythm at this moment.
The same concept flashed in everyone's mind: this is the real rock!
Every drum beat, every string sound, every musical note, every song is like a bullet, hitting Grammy's body, blood splashes and flesh and blood flying. , Glory to Death started a revolution on the Grammy stage in the simplest and most direct way. Life!
The "Youth Mind", which was performed to the extreme by Kurt Cobain, was once thought to be no longer able to reproduce the light, but today Hugo gave this song a unique vitality in his way. The Grammys, a solemn, solemn, mainstream, restrained but also grand, grand, and eye-catching stage, have regained their radiance!
Grammy's academy pedants were battered and speechless by the syllables—or rather, they were furious, they were furious, they were furious, they were furious, they were furious, they were gossiping, But to no avail, because none of these emotions could stop the glory from dying.
The door panel of the monitoring room has been smashed, but Joey, Henry and the assistant are firmly guarding the door, creating a lot of obstacles, making it impossible for others to enter; the sound engineer console, the lighting engineer console , The location of the cameraman was also surrounded by groups at this time, but due to the presence of the audience, those conservative supporters were tied up and never dared to make a big issue, but they were not willing to tear off the fig leaf.
The confrontation and rebuke of the conservative guardians, mixed in the cyclic rhythm of "Youth Mind", which is like a magic sound, became a catalyst, bringing the rock frenzy on the scene to the peak, and suddenly , the Grammys ushered in the most brilliant, spectacular and grand night since 1984. But the old pedantic school of the academy is still unknown.
There is no doubt that this is a live broadcast accident, and it is also the most serious live broadcast accident in the 37-year history of the Grammy Awards. Although the audience still does not know it, and although the reporters have not received news for the time being, the organization of the awards ceremony The audience clearly knows that this is a live broadcast accident, and no one can know what consequences this live broadcast accident will bring.
This is even more outrageous than Nirvana's performance of "Rape. Rape. Me" at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1992, because to the death of glory challenged the authority of the Grammys and the authority of the entire mainstream market. They stealthily turned the "Youth Mind" into the core of the band's performance, with the foreshadowing of "One. Step. Closer" before, and then the performance of "Youth Mind". Lemmy sneered at expressing the clearest dissatisfaction.
This is an unprecedented revolution. Fate, will set off a stormy wave in the entire music world!
However, it seems that everyone has forgotten that this is only the second song of Glory to Death, their performance is not over yet, and this revolution. The climax of life has just arrived. Hugo stood on the stage, adjusted his breathing, picked up the microphone again, and growled, "Everyone, this is... Death. Or. Glory! Death! Or glory!"
Then Hugo tapped the beat with his left foot, one beat, two beats! The guitar strings in Neil's hands are playing again!
