1873 Chapter 1873
"I'm not sure what these psychopaths think, but I'm sure they have a problematic part of their head." Jie pointed at his head solemnly, and twirled his fingers, "It can create thirty-seven consecutive weeks of sweeping After the miracle in North America, they still remain so calm, there must be something wrong here."
After everyone laughed, Jay looked at Hugo again, "So, you mean, when the entire North American market is already crazy, you are... filming?" Hugo nodded in affirmation , Jie curled his lips, "Very well, I confirm that my judgment is correct." Hugo also chuckled this time, "I already know about the new movie you are shooting, so I don't care at all, I compare Curious about Neil's underground tour."
Hugo, who had originally planned to talk about "LA Confidential" incessantly, was choked up abruptly, and the astonished expression on his face made the audience laugh out loud. And Neil was also very cooperative at this time, and took the initiative to say, "Actually, after the end of the world tour, we were all in a rest period. But then Hugo abandoned us, so we started an underground tour."
"I'm not sure, what's going on with the tour without the lead singer? Is it like the Headless Horseman?" Jay's question made the members of Glory to Death burst into laughter.
Neil shook his head repeatedly, "No, that's not the case. In fact, there are many outstanding bands in underground rock, and their technical level and creative inspiration are amazing. Therefore, we organized a group of excellent underground bands , to start a tour across the United States, not to sell tickets, but to perform at public performance venues in each city, and any interested audience can enter."
Jie still had a puzzled expression on his face, "Uh, what role does the member who dies with glory play? I mean, dies with glory without a head."
Neil couldn't help but burst out laughing, he turned his head to look at Alfonso, and let him explain, "We are the organizer first, and our four teammates have their own responsibilities to promote this underground tour. It can be done. In addition, during the intermission of the tour, there will be a duel, guitar against guitar, bass against bass, drummer against drummer, keyboard against keyboard... Each performance may invite members of four different bands to come on stage, We'll be in those matchups every once in a while."
In fact, this idea was proposed by Alfonso. He had been busy with related matters before, but now his main purpose is not to make money, but to promote the prosperity of underground rock with the fame of glory to death—— For the real recovery of rock and roll, it is absolutely not enough for only one to die with glory. It is the correct path for a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend. At the same time, the band members who are honored to death can also constantly develop themselves and challenge themselves in the competition with these top bands.
Hugo showed an envious smile, "God knows how much I envy them."
Jie looked at Hugo with a face full of surprise, "Are you still here?" One sentence made the audience burst into laughter again, "Today is the Glory to Death special, maybe you should show up again next time when the movie is promoted .” This is satirizing Hugo’s actor status.
But Hugo didn't care, he laughed, "I'm a loyal fan of 'The Tonight Show', please allow me to stay here and admire the glory of the idol." After finishing speaking, Hugo showed admiration He looked at Jie, and Jie raised his big chin in coordination. The applause and laughter at the scene were completely chaotic.
After laughing, Jie looked at Alfonso again, "It can be heard that this underground tour is very interesting, but why didn't we receive much news before?"
"In fact, this tour has only started for less than two weeks. We are still in the initial stage, and many things are still in chaos." Alfonso said again, although they have experienced a long tour, this time it is Without the help of the on-site country, all four members of Glory to Death were required to organize it. It can be said that there were many difficulties. "In the preparation process, although Hugo did not show up at the scene, he helped a lot."
Hugo cleared his throat, as if ready to speak for an interview.
But after Jie spoke, everyone burst into laughter, "Fu Jin, what is your goal now?" Seeing Hugo's lonely expression, everyone laughed happily.
Fu Jin couldn't help but smiled, "Hugo is now trying to help us seek some professional help. At the same time, if someone is willing to sponsor our tour, that would be great." Because of this underground tour It is completely free, in other words, there is no profit, which is naturally unattractive for advertisers.
Jie turned his head to look at the camera lens, and said seriously, "I hope everyone can pay more attention to this underground tour of Glory to Death. By the way, there is no Hugo Lancaster." After finishing speaking, Jie also Regardless of everyone's hilarious laughter, I turned my head and looked back again, "So, what are your expectations for the future? Of course, I know that you don't have any special reaction to the thirty-seventh week, but what if you break the record?"
Faced with Jie's question, everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Hugo. This time, Hugo didn't joke anymore, but said seriously, "For Glory to Death, the achievement of today's The achievements have been excellent. Of course, we also hope to continue to move forward, but rather than the so-called historical records, we hope that everyone will focus on more rock bands. In addition to glory to death, there are many Great rock bands whose music always touches the softest and most passionate parts of us."
"So, you're saying that Glory until death is only an excellent rock band." Jie caught a small detail in Hugo's words and said.
Hugo raised his eyebrows, and said generously, "Of course, why not?" The confident appearance caused applause from the scene.
In fact, after the end of the "Storm" world tour, the Glory To Death band fell into confusion. In the end, it was Alfonso's plan that allowed the band to find its direction again. Hugo’s great dream—to reawaken the belief in rock and roll requires a glorious death effort, the confrontation of the Oasis band, and the rise of countless other bands, so they devoted themselves to this underground tour, It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is an extremely difficult beginning.
Glory to Death started from the base camp in Los Angeles, and after receiving strong support from Pearl Jam, came to the rock base in Seattle, but even so, it took the two top bands in the United States nearly two months before they were summoned. Eight bands started this underground tour. Really ignite a spark on the land of the North American continent.
The 37-week consecutive championship of "Storm" and the 27-week consecutive championship of three singles... These are all great achievements, but compared to the glory of rock and roll in the entire era, they are just the lights of fireflies. The members of Glory to Death experienced joy, excitement, excitement, and finally returned to the music itself.
This time on "The Tonight Show", they also hope to let people focus more on rock bands.
The effect of "Tonight Show" is obviously very outstanding. After the show was broadcast, this underground tour of glory to death attracted three advertising sponsors-even without Hugo as the leader, the extreme sports brand Vance ( VANS) won the sponsorship rights, and the rock music festival "Warped. Tours" that has influenced almost two whole generations was kicked off for the first time in the summer of 1997.
The "Twisted Tour" has not only become the largest underground rock tour in North America, but also a midsummer carnival for countless young people who challenge their limits. It ranks among the top three rock music festivals, but the scale and momentum of the twisted tour are far beyond the comparison of the other two music festivals.
Every summer, from June to August, there are more than 20 tours in three months, calling for the participation of more than 1.7 million spectators. As the most distinctive feature, every year’s Twisted Tour is composed of underground bands as the main lineup, and the lineup of performances arriving in each city will change slightly—many local famous underground bands can get performance opportunities; and As the finale of each year's tour, the famous rock bands of the year will be invited to perform on stage. Among them, Glory to Death appeared four times, and each year set off a frenzy of grabbing tickets.
On top of the distorted tour, Arcade. Fire, Thirty Seconds to Mars (30. Seconds. To. Mars), Lincoln, Coldplay, Owl City, etc. The famous rock band has truly rejuvenated the American rock music market.
It all started in the summer of 1997.
Returning to "The Tonight Show", Jay obviously didn't realize that his random interview today triggered a revolution in North American music for the next fifteen years. Fate, as Hugo said, at the moment when history is being created, it is difficult for those involved to feel that shocking force.
"The last question tonight, 'Long. Long. Way. To. Go' was born on the recording site of our show, and now it has become the eighth number one single in glory, so , when will your next single be released?" At the end of the show, Jay returned to that incredible historical record.
Hugo looked at Jie, but laughed lightly, "Jie, when did you start interviewing this kind of official questions?"
This answer was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was expected, because Hugo was saying: there is no plan in a short time. Jie couldn't help chuckling, "Since a certain band dominated the Billboard singles chart for 27 consecutive weeks." This ingenious answer made everyone on the scene applaud again, "Gentlemen and ladies, let us once again Thanks, glory to death, and hopefully next week we'll be smiling for tonight's episode."
Thirty-seven weeks? Or challenge thirty-eight weeks?
