Chapter 1871: 1871 Seeing the Dynasty for the First Time

People have just witnessed the strong recovery of rock and roll, and they have already seen the embryonic form of a rock and roll dynasty that belongs to glory to death, which is incredible. From "Young Volcanoes" to "Sail" to "Long Long Road (Long. Long. Way. To. Go)", winning the championship for twenty-four consecutive weeks, such a miracle is also music history The only one in the long river; coupled with the continuous championship momentum of the album "Storm", it can be said that in the past six months, in the entire North American music market, there is only glory to death, and only glory to death.

After "Long Road" reached the top of the championship, it did not slow down its momentum. It won the championship for three consecutive weeks, and continued the momentum of dominating the glory until the 27th week. Finally, it was the hot single of Pladdy. "Unstoppable (Can't. Nobody. Hold. Me. Down)" pulled down and fixed the momentum of reelection on the set of "twenty-seven".

This also created a new history of a single singer or band dominating the singles chart for a few weeks in the history of the North American Billboard. It was not until 2009 that someone approached this historical record. The first number one single "Boom. Boom. Pow" and "I Have a Premonition (I. Gotta. Feeling)" jointly dominated the number one list for 26 weeks, but it is a pity that they failed to tie or even The brilliance of breaking glory to death only ranks second in history.

In the second week of April, Puff Daddy’s single ended Glory to Death’s 27-week dominance on the singles charts, and was called “the cornerstone of a rock dynasty” by Rolling Stone—always on the sidelines of Glory to Death The famous "Rolling Stone" completely lowered its proud head.

Even though "Long Road" retreated from the top spot, the three singles "Young Volcano", "Voyage" and "Long Road" are still hovering in the top 20, among which "Young Volcano" has 26 consecutive hits. Zhou's ranking in the top ten has also created a new record, and the strength of his performance has made people completely lose their words.

Three singles jointly contributed to the championship for 27 consecutive weeks, and an album dominated for 37 weeks unshakably... This is the rock dynasty created by Glory to Death in the past six months. Halfway through 1997, although Hugo was in " He disappeared from the eyes of the media after his tour, and he rarely communicated with the media even during the "LA Confidential" crew, but he was still active in the media for a long time in this way, step by step Move toward your dreams.

People are discussing when the fourth single of "Storm" will be released, and whether it can reach the top again after it is released? People are discussing whether the "storm" can take another step after thirty-seven weeks of consecutive championships-this small step is a big step for a historical giant?

Therefore, at the opening ceremony of "As Good as It Gets", the reporters almost couldn't wait to interview Hugo in an almost embarrassing manner, wanting to know his thoughts from Hugo's mouth at the first time, even ignoring the fact that they were also present The famous James and Jack are two entertainment bigwigs.

You can accuse the reporter of being rude, but there is no way to get angry. Because even people who have nothing to do with music can't help being curious: this is the true national prosperity since 1984, and even "Independence Day" is slightly inferior to it-after all, "Independence Day" It was all twenty weeks before and after the box office, but "Storm" has occupied the focus of attention for nine months, and the brewing of rock and roll began with "Never Mind" in 1992-it is worth watching. What is mentioned is that "Never Mind" also created a record at this time, staying on the Billboard album list for 271 consecutive weeks, ranking among the top 15 in history.

But even so, when Glory to the Dead and his party arrived at NBC TV station to prepare to record tonight's "Tonight Show", they still felt that all this was too incredible when they saw the audience at the door that was congesting the entire street. Compared with the crowds at the concert, the shocking power of this situation is absolutely no less, because this is not a concert, but an ordinary street, a street full of life, but at this time the street has changed beyond recognition.

More than 3,000 people completely blocked the four surrounding streets. Looking up, the surrounding skyscrapers are wrapped in transparent glass, and the densely packed human heads behind the glass completely fill the sight line, as if the whole world is full of people. Usually, that kind of terrible illusion makes people feel an indescribable sense of suffocation, and the oncoming heat wave ignites the air even more. It seems that the Big Apple City is almost unable to bear it and explodes.

The off-road vehicle on which Glory died almost dwt in the crowds for 30 minutes before he was able to enter the underground parking lot. Even Neil couldn't help sighing, "This seems to be worse than Maracana." Be crazy."

Maracana, that epoch-making moment, opened the rock dynasty in 1997.

This is the first time the band members have appeared collectively on "The Tonight Show," or more accurately, the first time the band has appeared collectively on a talk show. Prior to this, in fact, Glory has always insisted on the tour route until its death. Even if it participates in programs, most of them are radio programs, and a few news interview programs. But this time, the media couldn't easily let Glory die. Roger Faxon of EMI has been negotiating with Henry since the Grammys, which contributed to this "Tonight Show".

Under Hugo's introduction, the members briefly greeted Jay Leno, but Jay was about to leave soon, because the reporters waiting at the door couldn't bear it anymore. After Jie left, the members of Glory to Death walked out under the guidance of the staff. Hugo originally thought that they would enter a waiting room for interviews, but unexpectedly, they went directly to the studio. Hugo couldn't help being stunned I was taken aback.

Neil looked at it carefully, and was also stunned, and said in a low voice, "These are all reporters?" The tone seemed to say: Are these people crazy?

I saw that the auditorium in front of me was full of more than 300 people, but it seemed that these 300 people were not observers, but all reporters. With such a battle, even the largest press conference was not so sensational, and the two sides of the auditorium were still crowded with many staff members. The film crew of NBC TV even turned on the cameras, hoping to bring this history to life. Keep a record.

Such a scene reminds people of Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

Hugo felt that this was absurd, and he would never dare to hope that his music works could be compared with Michael's in his entire life. Leaving aside the 104 million sales record of "Thriller", this album has inspired the entire music industry. , The transformation of the entire popular music is unimaginable. But now...he really felt that powerful force, which was unstoppable.

But in fact, regardless of its historical status, there is still a big gap between the current sales data and social impact of "Storm" and "Thriller". Hugo didn't feel it at all. Trembling" on a par with the thick. Therefore, looking at the surging crowd in front of him, Hugo felt an indescribable sense of banter, a little funny, a little ridiculous, a little flattered, and a little inexplicable.

The five members of Glory to Death stood in front of the auditorium, each holding a large microphone in their hands, and then the interview session began, "If I remember correctly, this should be a short interview, right?" Yu Guo's half-joking complaint made everyone chuckle, but the reporters had a thick skin and were not moved at all.

Although it is said to be an interview with a reporter, in fact the content is not too new. It is just some official questions, "Excuse me, do you expect this album to create such a historical record?" Trembling'", "How are you feeling now", "When will the next single be released", "Do you have a tour plan for next year"... and so on, they are probably asking about the experience of breaking the record.

Neil and Alfonso answered almost all the questions today, and the two of them handled these official questions with ease. Although some problems will still go to Hugo, but there are not many new ideas, Hugo dealt with it lightly, and then handed over the initiative to speak to Neil and Alfonso. Even so, the originally scheduled 15-minute interview was extended to half an hour, and the reporters were still unwilling to leave. NBC had to evacuate, otherwise "The Tonight Show" would stop recording soon.

The reporters actually know that it is difficult to dig out hot spots in this kind of short news interview. They are either looking forward to an appointment for an exclusive interview, or waiting for a while for the "Tonight Show", hoping that Glory to Death can spark sparks with Jie.

Jay Leno is inevitably a little nervous today. He is very familiar with Hugo. The two can be said to be close friends. Today's interview should not be too worrying, but Jay knows that today's "Tonight Show" is not just about A talk show, and all the attention: Die Glory could make history next week, and moments like this don't happen every day.

So, Jay has been cooling his brain down and waiting for the show to start.

Hearing the countdown sound from the director in his earbuds, Jie took a deep breath, then lowered his eyes, trying to relax himself, then raised his head following the sound of the director stopping, with a familiar smile on his lips, "Not long ago, I and My wife started a conversation about what we could do in a minute, which, believe me, was a stupid topic, but we both had a lively conversation. We found out that a minute is a long way off. Bigger than we imagined."

Jie changed a position freely, and said easily, "Yesterday someone chatted with me about a similar topic, saying what we can do within thirty-seven weeks. I thought thirty-seven weeks was a long time. When I think about it carefully, I feel it is very short, because this is not even a year, and it is only one forty-seventh of my life. But today, someone told us with practical actions that thirty-seven weeks, this is The length of a history."

Immediately, Jie took the initiative to stand up, "Let us welcome, glory to death!"
