Chapter 1605 1605 The Drum Beat
Pushing open the door, you can see Neil and Alfonso standing at the door with nervous expressions on their faces. Although they didn't go downstairs just now, they were obviously worried about the situation downstairs. It's one thing for them to make fun of Hugo, but it's another thing to really see the crowd devoured Hugo by the crowd at the scene. A person's strength is simply insignificant in that surging crowd.
However, after seeing the three of Hugo standing in front of him again, Neil breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help laughing, because the Hugo in front of him was too embarrassed, he lost his hat and sunglasses, and his T-shirt had been removed. It was pulled and deformed, even the shoes were crooked, and Hugo was holding the handle of a plastic bag in his right hand - but there was no plastic bag, which looked really happy.
"So, what about the things you bought?" Neil held back his smile and asked seriously.
Hugo didn't say a word, just raised his right hand, and then he realized that his right hand was empty, only the handle of a plastic bag was left, and the things he just bought at the convenience store had been scattered all over the world. Looking at the lonely plastic handle in his hand, Hugo reluctantly exhaled a long breath, and then threw the plastic bag into the trash can.
Then, turning around, Hugo fumbled for a piece of chewing gum from his pocket, "We can only eat this to satisfy our hunger." This was what he put in his pocket after he finished shopping. This time, everyone couldn't bear it any longer, and they all burst into laughter. Even Hugo himself had a helpless smile on his face, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed a little.
After laughing, Pedro recounted the little episode that happened downstairs just now. Neil and Alfonso also looked at each other, and Neil frowned and said "tsk", "If you don't teach them a lesson, you think we are little milk cats, you really don't know what to do."
Even Neil, who has always been mature and steady, couldn't bear it anymore. It can be seen how much the Oasis band has been disliked by Glory to Death recently.
"Didn't Hugo say it last time, he wants to revive the rock's beliefs, then we can totally take the Oasis Band as the first sacrifice." Alfonso's mood is very stable, but the words he said It's eerie. The words were recognized by all the members of Glory to Death, and the five exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
At the beginning, Hugo told the members of Glory to Death that he wanted to reawaken the long-sleeping rock and roll faith. No matter if this idea is told to anyone, even if it is Guns and Roses, even if it is the Rolling Stones, even if it is Nirvana, it is estimated that they will scoff at it, thinking that it is not only idealism, but also utopianism, like Don Quixote is utterly stupid.
However, after being silent for a long time, the members of the Glory to Death stood by Hugo's side without any doubts. Not only that, their enthusiasm was far beyond Hugo's imagination. At that time, Fu Jin only said one sentence, "Glory to death, our choice has long been decided, isn't it?"
After a slump, the revival of glory to the death radiated with unprecedented vitality, allowing the five members to unite once again, and the process of recording the third album was more than ever before. More engaged, more enthusiastic, more focused.
The news media in the United States is once again lively. This summer is an endless Christmas for the uncrowned kings. News wave after wave, heat wave after wave, and every day is a holiday. The news craze of the "Independence Day" box office hitting 500 million has not ended yet, and the news of the head-on collision between Oasis Band and Glory to Death has set off a frenzy again.
From the scolding battle that started more than four months ago, today it is finally about Huashan discussing the sword.
Last year, the Oasis Band and the Stain Band launched a huge confrontation. At that time, the two sides represented different classes of music preferences, and the head-to-head confrontation made August 14, 1995 become a day in the annals of history. This day Twenty years later, it is still talked about by loyal rock fans. This day can also be called the essence of rock and roll in the 1990s. It has led all rock fans in the British Isles to join in. It can almost be said that It is to reproduce the miracle of Woodstock - not the grand occasion of the year, but the powerful influence of rock and roll on society.
Of course, it is impossible to reproduce Woodstock in a real sense. But in the 1990s, being able to mobilize a whole country of rock fans to join the sales of both bands was something unparalleled in itself.
Now, after Stain, the confrontation between Oasis and Glory to Death has risen to a whole new level. Compared with the confrontation that caused a sensation in the UK last year, this time the duel between the two bands has crossed the borders of the country and become the whole A showdown of musical genres, this is arguably the showdown between two of the most influential rock bands of our time.
Oasis' 1994 debut album "Definitely. Maybe" sold 2.1 million copies in the UK, not only easily becoming the fastest-selling debut album in British history, but also surpassing the original The strong influence of the head man is considered to be the most important album in the UK in the past 50 years, because the Oasis Band reflects a fearless spirit of the grass-roots young people in the UK. This is an album with a distinct era. album.
The second album that followed, "(What's this story) Morning Glory?" took it to the next level, not only in the UK but also in the US, selling half a million in just one week Zhang, has obtained a gold record certification, which is also the reason why Oasis can tour in North America.
Although Oasis has only released two albums now, they have surpassed rock bands such as Goatskin, Stain, Shen Yun, and Radiohead to become the most influential band in Britain today. The impact has reached the level of the Beatles at their peak.
Oasis is not only considered to be an important force in the recovery of Brit rock, but also considered to be the hero that pushed guitar rock to its peak, and it is also considered to be the decisive force for Brit rock to stand on the world stage again.
Correspondingly, it is the glory of the sun to death. From the birth of "almost famous" to the king's land of "bathing in the morning light", it took only two albums of glory to die, which completely changed the status of new metal rock and made rock re-emerged in the mainstream market after a long absence. occupy a place.
Although the revival of rock and roll is the result of years of foreshadowing and the joint efforts of many bands, as the leader among them, the key role of glory to death cannot be ignored. Glory to the Dead not only led the resurgence of rock and roll, occupying a place in the mainstream music market, but also received recognition in the field of professional music - Grammys, as the most successful professional awards in business, their recognition of Glory to Death, To a certain extent, it is imprinted with history.
The current glory to death has surpassed the influence of Nirvana in the United States, and its promotion and influence on the entire music market are pivotal. After "bathing in the morning light", Glory to Death remained silent for nearly two years, and even triggered discussions in major news media. This incident itself is one of the manifestations of Glory to Death's influence today.
If Oasis represents the revival of British rock and roll, then Glory to the Dead reflects the new peak of American rock after the dynasties. Generally emerging, from album sales to awards ceremonies, changing the composition of the music market in all aspects.
Now, Oasis Band and Glory to Death are facing off head-to-head. The two most influential rock bands in the contemporary era are about to compete. The two bands can be said to be the best in terms of professional evaluation, sales energy, popularity index, etc. They are also the two most representative bands in the current rock wave. Therefore, this is also considered by many people to be the peak duel since the re-emergence of rock in 1993.
Interestingly, both bands have only released two albums so far, and the next third album is precisely the most important turning point in the rock circle. The third album will largely determine the level of the band and the quality of word of mouth. And the future development is a crucial turning point for the band itself, but the two bands have launched a head-to-head confrontation, which also makes the entire competition full of countless highlights.
Can Oasis continue the miracle of last year's narrow victory over Stain? Can Glory to Death continue the momentum that swept the Eight Wastelands before? Can British rock, represented by Oasis, take a step closer to occupying the American market? Can the new metal rock wave set off by Glory to Death be one step closer to being recognized by the British Isles? Will Oasis' unabashed Gallagher brothers take a hit? Can the strategy of speaking with strength to the death of glory be implemented? Will the big showdown between fans promote the further explosion of sales and bring the heyday of the music market? Could there be a clear answer to the rock and roll debate between the UK and the US? Will the showdown between the two bands push the rock revival since 1993 to a whole new level? Will this be the beginning of a revival of the rock 'n' roll of the '60s, and the beginning of an entire decade of rock's glory?
Numerous highlights make people crazy. From the moment Hugo took over the Oasis Band battle post, more than 150 media in the UK and the United States published nearly 400 related articles in just three days. The report heated up this century showdown to the highest temperature.
The reaction of the media was just lively, while the reaction of the fans was completely crazy.
