Chapter 174 174 Rock Night
Hugo felt very satisfied and proud at this time, and of course very happy.
It is undeniable that all the onlookers at the scene joined their own music performances, which gave Hugo a lot of confidence. This kind of live performance, being able to get the audience's response is the biggest reward for the performers, not to mention the people around them. Not only professionals, but also the mentality of watching jokes before, can now get their approval, which is very important to Hugo, even more important than the attention of the ending song of "Yi Hai Xiong Feng".
But Hugo was even happier that this was the first time he had tried three things he was unfamiliar with live: keyboards, snare drums and singing. But the result was much better than Hugo imagined. Apart from the singing that he had tried several times before, musical instrument playing has always been Hugo's weakness - he is only good at guitar, even if he finished the performance today, the keyboard and The use of the snare drum Hugo is also done through the most simple and basic techniques. However, such success tells Hugo that although he is not talented enough in musical instrument learning, he can still make progress as long as he works hard. More importantly, he can also use other musical instruments to complete creations. This is really a big deal. good news.
On top of that, "Kill. Your. Heroes" also delighted Hugo, although it's a technically relatively neat song - it's the result of a further development of new metal, but The injection of emotion and sincere interpretation have resolved this disadvantage and fully demonstrated the essence of the song. In fact, this song is not only a response to the challenges of Pedro, Fukukin, etc., but also a challenge to Hugo's past self.
Over the past year, although Hugo has won several opportunities to sing live, he has also won a lot of applause, including the recent praise of the ending song of "The Hero of the Sea of Righteousness"; but in fact, Hugo has never positioned himself in his heart. In the position of a singer, as he said before, if there was a band, he would prefer to be the guitarist because it was a position he was more familiar with.
But today, Hugo has really gained confidence. In fact, he can play other instruments well. In fact, he is not at a disadvantage when facing these professionals. In fact, he has performed well as a singer. Maybe, one day in the future, when Hugo really has the opportunity to become a singer, his attitude will change.
"Hey, man, you're great, you're really great." Neil sat next to Hugo, and after Hugo finished his performance, he gave Hugo a big hug. Neil admired Hugo a lot last time, and today makes Neil change his opinion of Hugo again.
Neil could feel the surging in his heart. Although they had talked a lot just now, and they even hit the guitar, but Neil found that he still had many, many topics to discuss with Hugo. This kind of encounter The happiness of like-minded partners made Neil's stern face full of Nordic style dyed with the unique enthusiasm of countries near the equator.
It's a pity that if Neil wants to chat with Hugo, he has to wait, because all the bystanders around can't wait to swarm up.
"Brother, it's great, it's great!", "Wow, you really opened my eyes", "Man, you should play it again"... The provocative eyes full of questioning have all disappeared at this time, these rock and roll Fans all stepped forward to express their admiration to Hugo. Maybe it was just a handshake, maybe just a word, maybe just a look or a thumbs up, but they clearly expressed their true emotions.
There is no need for more debates and disputes. Hugo's performance just now is the most direct and simple answer. Besides being brilliant, it also left countless echoes in everyone's heart.
Fujin came up to take his snare drum. Originally, Hugo planned to express his thanks, but Fujin had no intention of talking too much, so he left immediately, and Hugo was stopped by others who kept coming forward. , so it's a pity that Hugo didn't get to know this little famous drummer.
Pedro stood beside him for a long time, and waited until everyone was almost dispersed, and then he walked in front of Hugo. The face that had been smiling all the time was full of seriousness at this time, and he looked at Hugo seriously. , leaving Hugo confused. Hugo couldn't help but glance at Neil, but unfortunately Neil didn't know much either. Neil and Pedro were just nodding acquaintances, not friends, so they didn't know much about each other's personalities.
Pedro suddenly bowed formally thirty degrees, which caught Hugo by surprise. It's just that Pedro's previous image has always been the image of a big boy who loves to play and laugh. He suddenly became so serious and somewhat funny, which made Hugo laugh. If it weren't for the current situation, Hugo would have wanted it a long time ago. laughed.
After Pedro straightened up, he tried to calm his voice and said, "Hugo, I apologize for my rudeness, I hope you don't mind." It turned out to be this matter, but Hugo didn't take it to heart at all, no matter what. Whether it was the meeting in the morning or the provocation just now, they were purely musical discussions, not personal attacks. He didn't mind at all.
But Pedro didn't think so, he continued to say, "You just proved your excellence with practical actions, I must apologize for my attitude, and you also proved that you are not a nonsense person, you just created That song..." Having said that, Pedro paused and cast a confirming glance at Hugo, who hurriedly said "kill the hero", "Yes, 'kill the hero' is indeed a very good song. Great song and didn't use the guitar. So, I want to pay you my respects!"
Looking at Pedro who was so serious in front of him, Hugo originally wanted to make a joke, but he changed his mind. The attitude of the other party is serious and serious. If you still want to joke, it is disrespectful to the other party. Humor also depends on the occasion. So Hugo also restrained the smile on his face and said formally, "I accept your apology and respect. And express my gratitude to you."
After getting Hugo's official reply, Pedro's face immediately burst into a bright smile, "Hey, man, you were really great just now." Looking at Pedro in front of him, where is there anything else just now? That serious look didn't look like he was sneering at Hugo in the morning, and he was completely excited like a child, "Tell me, how did you have such an idea that you don't use a guitar, this is absolutely unimaginable for today's rock and roll. thing."
Hugo and Neil couldn't help but smiled at each other. Pedro in front of him did have the ability to make people feel lighter. Maybe it was his pure heart for music.
"Uh, being lazy?" The correct answer should be "traveling", but Hugo obviously wouldn't tell the answer, so he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Actually, I was just thinking that musical instruments have So, why does it have to be the guitar to show the essence of rock? Of course, the guitar is a great instrument, that's why I chose it, believe me, I love my guitar."
Hugo's words made Neil chuckle beside him, Pedro also remembered Hugo's wonderful guitar skills just now, and naturally nodded, "Actually, guitar has a very good position in many types of music. , such as country. But then I wondered, are other instruments going to be ignored? It's like bass, piano, drums are not important in rock, or other instruments can't be created Great rock music?"
"Of course the answer is no." Pedro said enthusiastically, he still felt incredible that the man in the shirt that looked like a Wall Street bastard in the morning was sitting cross-legged next to a poor street one street away from Wall Street. , excitedly talking about his views on music.
But at this time Pedro doesn't care whether the man in front of him is a Wall Streeter or not. The point is that this man's views on music are too much to his taste. Of course, a Neil should be added. The three of them said from the instrument To Nirvana, from metal rock to Brit rock, from music to dreams, the endless stream of topics makes the passage of time trivial. Even if Pedro's mates came to call him, he refused without looking back, and he decided to go to rock night with Hugo tonight.
It was getting closer and closer to eight o'clock, and the crowds on the streets of the poor street became more and more. Only then did the three Hugo realize that if they didn't go in, it would be difficult to find a place close to the stage, so they also They all stood up and moved in the direction of the Al Bar amid the crowd. However, it seems that the Al Bar has not officially opened at this time. Everyone is crowded at the door waiting. The greetings of acquaintances are one after another. The noisy discussions, cheerful laughter, and excited breathing are intertwined, making the pace of winter in Stopped outside the poor street, and could only spy on the liveliness of this area through the surrounding buildings with curiosity.
"Hey guys, how's it going, isn't it a grand scene tonight?" A man standing on Neil's left intervened in their conversation with a smile on his face.
Pedro's chatterbox was completely opened at this time, and he didn't have the arrogant and stern image of the first meeting in the morning. He was the first to take over the conversation, "It's more than a grand! This should be the most lively party this year. I've been to all the rock nights, but they're not as good as tonight." After that, Pedro looked at Hugo and Neil excitedly, "Of course, it's also partly because I met two good friends. ."
"Oh, Hugo, right?" The man stretched out his right hand to Hugo, who was standing in the middle of the three, and the two shook hands, and then the man looked at Neil again, "Neil Anderson? Your guitar duel just now. I enjoyed it, it's really great, but it's a pity that I'm not standing on the stage tonight, otherwise it will definitely add a lot to tonight's performance. Of course, there is also Hugo's 'Strangle the Hero' just now, Brilliant!" The man didn't forget to applaud to express his admiration after he finished speaking, with a particularly bright smile on his face.
Hugo did not expect that his performance just now would have such a profound impact. Along the way, people came up to greet Hugo, expressing their admiration for Hugo in this simple way - only really outstanding characters. Only in this circle can you gain a reputation, and only truly outstanding people will be admired, envied, and envied by others. From the current point of view, no one is jealous of Hugo for the time being, indicating that he is not good enough.
"Who are you?" Neil was still a little more rational, just like last time. Although he really hoped to talk to Hugo, he still chose to abide by the agreement and leave first. This time too.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, Green Hill." The man showed a gentleman's smile.
