Chapter 175 175 Celebrities Gather
Green Hill? Hugo thought the name sounded familiar, but he was pretty sure he had never seen the man in front of him. Strict square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a pair of black square glasses, neat short light brown hair, about the middle and late thirties, very bookish, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, an amiable smile, even if There's nothing wrong with saying he's a researcher or a PhD candidate.
"Super AL!" Pedro exclaimed in surprise. Obviously he knew each other, and Hugo immediately discovered that the deserted Neil had also cast a respectful look at Green. , which made Hugo easily think that Green should be a well-known figure in the underground rock circle, so Pedro and Neil knew each other, just like Fokin just now, and this man is also called Super Al... Super Al? Al bar?
Hugo suddenly remembered that Alfonso told himself today that the owner of Al Bar is called Green Hill! Everything was explained immediately.
Green is clearly a rock music lover, and his Al Bar has become an underground rock gathering place, setting up a stage for these bands pursuing their rock music dreams to express themselves, and it seems that this sponsorship has been going on for more than one or two years. Years, accumulated over many years, people in the rock circle naturally have an admiration for Green. Although Green didn't actually sponsor any band, the Al Bar became a gathering place for the insiders, a feat enough to be admired by Pedro and Neil. Hugo is naturally the same.
Looking at Green in front of him again, Hugo once again understood what it means to be invisible, and I heard that Green was gone. private. military. The background of fire - of course, such rumors are always unbelievable - but even as a successful businessman, Greene doesn't look like a businessman at all, but looks like a refined scholar.
"Yes, I am Green Hill, also known as Super Al." Green gave a positive answer, "I just saw your wonderful performance and wanted to know you, so I appeared here."
There was always a smile on Green's face, not only friendly and polite, but also with a touch of enthusiasm hidden deep in his eyes. It can be seen that he is indeed a real rock lover, not out of business considerations or commercial interests, but simply relying on enthusiasm, and the Al Bar supports underground rock without asking for anything in return. Long.
"The night of rock and roll is about to start, but it's not so easy to get in here and grab a good spot. Why don't you follow me through the back door and grab a favorable position?" Green eyes It is quite surprising that the light of the children shone in it. Perhaps in front of one's own interests and hobbies, it is always easy for people to remove their disguise and reveal their truest appearance.
Pedro was immediately excited, but Hugo was a little embarrassed. He didn't think it was a good idea. He didn't want Neil to look at him, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. Hugo knew that he and Neil had similar ideas, so Hugo said, "The essence of rock night is that no matter where you are, you can join the party together. Then, on stage The first row in front, or standing outside the bar, doesn't seem to be that important."
In fact, it's not that Hugo doesn't want to go through the back door so hypocritically. If this is a ballet performance or an opera, then if you can get a good position through the back door, why not do it. But this is not high art, but the rock and roll of the national carnival. The point is that everyone enjoys it together. Including the queuing process, the crowd, the deafening sound, and the dense crowd are all part of the party. Therefore, it is important to be able to stand in the first row and watch, but if the opportunity is lost, it is the most important to let it take its course and enjoy it all.
Hugo's words were actually very euphemistic, but Green realized it immediately, he couldn't help laughing, and said generously, "My fault." This is somewhat different from the name "Super Al". , Hugo originally thought that Green should be a decisive hero or something, but now it seems to be very friendly. Is this the real Green, or is it the power of rock and roll night? "Then you don't mind if I join the carnival together?"
It can be seen from Green's dress that he actually intends to join everyone and enjoy tonight. If he intends to watch the performance from the top of the VIP box, then there is no need for him to come out directly. Even if he wants to know Hugo, he can send two bodyguards to invite him, and then wait for Hugo to come forward to greet him flattered. But Green did not. He personally joined the crowd in the queue. Even if he proposed to go through the back door, he proposed to occupy the front row of the stage together. These details can glimpse some clues about Green's people.
"Of course, of course." Hugo said again and again, "If you don't take the initiative, I plan to send an invitation. Because I thought, after the performance, I wonder if you can take me to meet the Green Day Band. , Cadbury? I really, really like them."
"Do you like their music too?" Green's smile immediately burst into bloom, "I thought you weren't familiar with these bands."
"Are you kidding me? Of course I know them!" Hugo said this sentence, but Pedro and Neil looked over in surprise. Only then did Hugo realize that his thinking was still a bit ahead of his time.
Cadbury, an alternative rock band from Ireland, has created countless musical miracles under the leadership of its soul, Dolores. O'Riordan, with U2, Enya (Enya) together are credited as pioneers in bringing Irish music to the world. Dolores' unique vocals infused the band with a distinctive charisma, which has also been imitated by many female singers, such as Wang. Philip.
Cadbury was formed in the late 1980s, but its debut album was not officially released until 1993. In the first half of this year, the Cadbury band released their first single "Dreams", which received rave reviews but did not pay for the charts. They had to choose to follow other bands to perform some Touring, relying on their excellent strength to accumulate more audiences in live performances, this can make the release of the album logical.
This time, the Cadbury Band accepted the invitation of Rock and Roll Night, which was actually a performance to test the waters of the American music market. Even people like Pedro and Neil who are familiar with the underground rock music circle still don’t know enough about the situation on the other side of the Atlantic. After all, it is a “closed” era without the Internet.
Relatively speaking, Green Day, which made its fortune in the underground punk circle in northern California, is familiar with a lot. Green Day was also established in the late 1980s and released its first album in 1991. Unfortunately, it failed to make a name for itself. This year Their second album, "Kerplunk," was released in January, and the album was a hit in the underground rock scene, drawing Green Day's attention.
I heard that the Green Day Band has signed a record company not long ago, which means that the Green Day Band has sounded the horn to move towards the mainstream market.
Pedro and Neil knew about Green Day, but they knew nothing about Cadbury, so when Hugo marked his love for the two bands so intensely, it was naturally aroused. their doubts.
Hugo had no choice but to quickly say, "Excellent music knows no country, doesn't it? I've heard their music before, and I've been looking forward to today's meeting for a long time."
Although Neil still wanted to ask how Hugo got the Cadbury music, it's clearly not a good place to talk now, and Greene didn't pursue it any further, he said, "Yes, absolutely That's it. I've been looking forward to today's live performance for a long time." Neil then drew his attention back and asked curiously, "What style of music does Cadbury play?"
"You should pay attention to Doros, the lead singer of the band, her voice is really great, and the way she sings is even more special..." Hugo said enthusiastically, these bands used to be posters on the guitar boxes of the band Glory to the Dead , distant idols, and now Hugo can listen to their performances live, and maybe even get up close, this kind of excitement can only be experienced by true rock lovers.
The surging crowd slowly gathered towards the entrance of the bar. The space for 300 people in the bar was quickly packed. Hugo didn't even have time to pay attention to the decoration of the bar. Green Day Band.
Although Billy Joe Armstrong was originally a baby face, Billy Joe, who appeared less than ten yards in front of Hugo at this time, was still a 20-year-old young man, with vigorous vigor, flamboyant self-confidence, and immaturity. The smiles bloomed freely on those cheeks that were tender and dripping, and most of the music they performed was something Hugo had never heard before, because Green Day's first two albums were through California local independents. Independently released by record labels (Lookout!), it only circulates in underground rock circles, and it is very difficult to find the source, let alone the original tape.
At this time, the music of Green Sun is still a little green, but it is already possible to see their future prototype. The retro punk music of the 1970s, the concise and smooth melody, and the straightforward and rude lyrics, in one by one It is released from the music. Although Hugo had never heard of these music, it did not affect his enjoyment of such music and such an atmosphere.
Hugo soon fell into a complete madness, and he temporarily forgot everything, including the fact that he had traveled to 1992, and completely entered the world of music, as if he was not Hugo -Lancaster is still the same as Chen Hugo, this hearty pleasure made Hugo's mind blank, but it only reached the extreme of simplicity.
"Crack", what sound? Is it the sound of the belt breaking, why does the waistband of the jeans seem to be a little loose? Should be... isn't it?
