1324 1324 Adjusting the Pace

Was it difficult to make a third album? It is not difficult for Hugo, Neil, and Fukukin. At this moment, the three of them have accumulated more than 70 works, and at least one third of them can be called good works. Not a problem at all for an album; but very difficult for Glory to Death.

Glory to Death is not only a band, but also a rock band that implements the mind and soul of music. The blood of this band is the understanding and dream of the five members of music. If you just make an album at random, it means that the soul of the glory is dead. Even if the third album is successful in sales, this rock band will eventually be buried in the long river of time and become that slippery rock band. A shooting star across the sky.

In any field, geniuses are always emerging, and there are countless dazzling meteors. Not to mention rock bands, even idol singers have been very popular. For example, the brilliant Macaulay Culkin, for example, in 2010 Justin Bieber (Justin. Bieber), who once looked down on him, for example, Edward. Furlong (Edward. Furlong), who disappeared quickly after making a big splash in "Terminator 2", for example, appeared like a comet and like a comet The super boys who disappeared like no other, not to mention the "Fang Zhongyong" who have frequently slid across the sky in rock history, such as Shen Yun, Razorlight, Oasis and so on.

Including the famous Smith Band, Nirvana Band, can also belong to the ranks of meteors. The musical careers of these two bands are somewhat similar. Only four official studio albums were released before and after. It was the second album that pushed their music careers to the top and left an indelible mark on the entire music scene. brand.

But after experiencing such brilliance, the development has entered a bottleneck. The Smith Band's third album has also won some praise, but unfortunately it is much inferior to the previous one, and it was announced to disband soon; and the trajectory of Nirvana Band is everyone's As we all know, the brilliance of "Never Mind" nearly destroyed Kurt Cobain, who chose to take his own life not long after the release of his fourth album.

Now, Glory to Death is also facing such a bottleneck, not just Hugo.

The great success of "Bathing in the Morning Light" has made the band members stand in different positions. The hot spotlight, the media's pursuit, the cheers of fans, the busy work, the luxury of life... All these make their lives appear. Earth-shaking changes. As Hugo said, "almost fame" and "bathing in the morning light" actually reflect the band's true mood at different time points, different environments, and different situations, which are also the footprints of the band's growth.

Now, after a huge change in the mentality of the band members, the bottleneck of the third album is completely inevitable.

Although Neil and Fokin have been focusing on music creation, Hugo can clearly feel a little impetuous in their music, because their lives under the limelight are so impetuous; Pedro lingers in various places. Big parties, singing every night, the young man who was worried about his skills dragging the band back and constantly polishing his guitar skills has gradually lost himself in the neon lights of the night; Alfonso has left Vanity Fair, Los Angeles, and is always there Wandering outside, the contact with the band became less and less, and he and Hugo hadn't even spoken on the phone for more than three months, let alone met...

Hugo is no exception.

Hugo's words made everyone in the room quiet, Pedro twisted on the sofa a little uneasily, and after adjusting the position several times, he felt that something was wrong, like sitting on pins and needles. In any case, today’s chaos was ultimately detonated by Pedro. Originally, Pedro felt that his lateness was nothing, but now he was raised to such a height by Hugo, which made Pedro feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey, buddy, it's not that serious..." Pedro smiled dryly, but found that he was in a panic, and he couldn't smile at all. An arc was drawn on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, only irritability and panic , "I think... it's all good, isn't it? We're really all good, right?"

Pedro's words were inevitably a little guilty. In fact, deep down in his heart, he knew that Hugo was not joking.

As Pedro said, Glory to the Dead is at its most beautiful stage right now, with "Wonderwall" making history not long ago, and "Apologize" pressing Mariah Carey to the death , "Bath in the Morning Light" has been in the top 20 and even the top 10 of the Billboard album chart for a long time. The band's momentum in North America has now surpassed the original Nirvana Band and has become the pioneer of the new metal rock trend. Changed the entire history of music development.

Hugo's words are really alarmist.

Seeing Pedro's anxiety, Neil raised his head and shook his head helplessly, "Pepe, when was the last time you picked up the bass?"

This sentence made Pedro even more irritable. He scratched his head in annoyance and said uncertainly, "Last week, uh...it should be..." Perceiving Fukin's sneering expression, Pedro said in his voice. It suddenly became bigger, "It was really last week, at a party, a... uh, a chick wanted to watch me play the bass..." At the end, Pedro automatically muted the sound, and after all, he did not continue. go down.

Pedro's voice slowly disappeared like this, and he could not help drooping his shoulders in annoyance. All the irritability and panic settled down, because he knew: Hugo was telling the truth.

"So, what do you think we should do?" Fu Jin opened his mouth to break the silence in the room, and his expression sank uncontrollably.

In fact, Fukukin and Neil vaguely felt this way. They were not satisfied with their recent creations, and there were more disputes. During their communication with Hugo, Hugo was very impressed with them. Uncertainty also started to grow. It's just that the layer of window paper has not been pierced, and they can't say why.

Hugo slumped on the back of the sofa, rubbing his aching temples, "I don't know, if I knew what to do, it wouldn't be a bottleneck, and I would just go straight to the execution."

The bottleneck of music creation is actually the same as acting. It needs Hugo's changes in mood and inspiration. This requires timing and luck, just like "death row". But there is really no way for Hugo to start with music creation.

Hugo's words were really discouraging, and Neil slowly leaned back on the chair and fell silent; Fukukin leaned forward to support his chin, his eyes staring blankly ahead. After a brief noise, the room fell silent again.

Hugo looked at his teammates and couldn't help showing a wry smile. In fact, Hugo has always believed that the bottleneck is a very personal problem, which can also be regarded as a psychological problem, which is why he has never told his teammates. He does not want the morale of the entire band to be lowered. It was only after today's events that Hugo knew that not only him, but the entire band was currently in a bottleneck.

Taking a long breath, Hugo sat up again and said with a chuckle, "Everyone cheer up, it's nothing, we already have enough time to prepare the third album, at least in the next year. There is no need to worry about EMI Records in time. So, we can prepare slowly."

"What if we still haven't found a breakthrough after a year?" Pedro asked anxiously.

Hugo's smile became even bigger, "That proves that we are really just a shooting star." This made Pedro speechless and gave Hugo a resentful look, but Hugo laughed outright. , "If we still have that passion and desire for music in our hearts, if we still firmly believe in 'glory to death', then we will not be reduced to mediocrity, we will make breakthroughs sooner or later."

This is what Hugo is most convinced of, "So, what we need to do is to adjust our pace, free ourselves from the current blooming flowers, find our original dream and persistence, and find that A razor-sharp, daring daring."

However, this time everyone was not excited because of Hugo's words, and everyone fell into their own thoughts. Since the formation of Glory to Death, they have been running all the way for two and a half years, sprinting to the current position, they do need a little time to buffer. This is a marathon, not a 100-meter battle. As for whether you can reach the end of the marathon and what your results will be, all of this is what Glory is writing.

Looking at the thoughtful teammates, Hugo took a deep breath, made himself excited, and then clapped his hands vigorously, "Don't be like this, we are not facing collapse or failure, and we can still look cheerful. How about it? What are we having for lunch? I'm hungry now, aren't Pepe and Neil hungry? You just went through a lot of physical exercise, didn't you?"

Hugo's words made Neil, Pedro, and Fukuin give him a roll of eyes at the same time, which made Hugo depressed and spread his hands helplessly, "I'm just stating the facts, if you don't like it, then I don't either. The way..." Hugo was silent for a while, seeing that the three teammates still had no plans to answer, even Pedro, who was usually the most lively, was frustrated, Hugo could only sigh, "I would like to have lunch together. People, I think we can talk about the band. For example, during a charity event, I wrote a song. There are still some flaws in the composition, but this song is still very much in line with the style of Glory to Death. , but I think it's a little less aggressive. But it's actually similar to the style of 'The Wall', maybe the audience will like it?"

Hugo's words instantly made the three of them come alive, and Fu Jin couldn't wait to ask, "Do you have a name?"

Hugo pursed his lips, did not speak, stood up and walked towards the door, then opened the door, turned back and said, "I temporarily name it 'Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change) '." Then he left.

Fugin jumped up first and rushed in the direction Hugo left, then Pedro, and Neil not to be outdone.
