Chapter 1875: 1875 Set Sail
History is indeed very interesting. People first witnessed the unbelievable historical moment of the "storm" for forty consecutive weeks. This record will not be broken again in the next twenty years, or even half a century, just like " Like the fifty-four records of the original soundtrack of "West Side Story", it needs the right time, place and people to create it. In the future where the music market is gradually declining, the original soundtrack of "West Side Story", "Storm", "Storm" Trembling" record no one can ever shake.
Forty weeks, "Storm" has written its own unique historical record!
But then people witnessed that Puff Daddy broke the ten-month blockade of "Storm" and rewrote the pattern of Billboard's album charts with the momentum of King's Landing. The reason why history is history is because the track left by it inadvertently will gradually bloom more and more light with the precipitation of time.
What replaced "Storm" is the album "No Way Back", and it is Puff Daddy, the godfather of rap.
As a godfather-level figure in the entire East Coast music industry, Puff Daddy's brilliance is not limited to rap, he has also produced albums for singers such as Mariah Carey, Mary Blige, Boys and Men, and pushed them to the top As a singer, Puff Daddy's music career didn't really start until 1995, and he became a decisive figure in promoting the rapid development of East Coast rap.
The album "No Way Back" is very special. It is Pladdy who commemorates his best friend B. I. The album produced by G, this album was originally B. I. G is working on an album. However, halfway through the production of the album, it was forced to stop due to personal grievances within the rap industry-four months ago, B. I. G and Puff Daddy attended a party in Los Angeles and were ambushed by gunmen as they left, B. I. G was shot and fell to the ground. Puff Daddy was in the car in front of him at that time, although he shot B immediately. I. G was sent to the hospital, but was unable to recover.
After losing his best friend, Puff Daddy was extremely depressed and even decided to retire. However, after a few months of rest, Puff Daddy decided to cheer up, inherit his best friend's last wish, and complete the unfinished album. Thus, "No Way Back" was born. Three weeks later, "No Way Back" interrupted "The Storm"'s 40-week reign and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Albums Chart.
Therefore, the first week of August is still a moment of making history, not only the freeze-frame moment of the consecutive weeks of "Storm", but also the moment of Bragging Daddy's re-emergence.
People have guessed and guessed, always wondering when the "storm" will end, and who will complete the historical mission of ending the glory to death, but, the expectation has failed again, and instead After repeated repetitions, people have almost forgotten about this incident, thinking that this album will rewrite all history like a bamboo shoot. But at this moment, "No way to retreat" turned out, and handed over the answer sheet with an undisputed attitude.
Everyone is talking about the brilliance of "No Way Back", but what is even more frightening is that the 40-week consecutive championship of "Storm" has made any language lose its color. At this moment, people really feel Now, the time of glorious unto death has arrived.
The reporters immediately interviewed the members of Glory to Death. Neil said, "Pladdy's album is very exciting, and I personally have bought it for collection." Alfonso mentioned during the interview, "Compared to For the record, the rock and roll enthusiasm I've felt over the past ten months is even more memorable, as if the Maracana is still the best night of my life."
Hugo, who was still busy with the crew of "As Good as It Gets" in New York, also accepted a brief interview in the lobby of the hotel, "To be honest, this actually made me feel relieved." On the one hand, I was also worried that the record might end at any time due to the menacing new album, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the heights was actually mixed. Behind them are the countless fans, as well as the countless excellent bands before, such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins...etc.
Although Hugo didn't say much, the meaning of his words could not be clearer. This is not a record of glory to death, but a mark of the entire era. The era of rock and roll has come, but the belief in rock and roll has just sprouted. If you want to grow into a big tree in the sky, there is still a long way to go.
The only pity is that Kurt Cobain has no way to see all this.
After "No Way Back" replaced "Storm" as the new week's Billboard album chart champion, the momentum of "Storm" has not weakened, and it still firmly holds the runner-up position, and has persisted for a long time. For five weeks, the outstanding performance has become a habit. After that, "Storm" still stayed in the top ten for a long time. Until the end of 1997, it still held the top ten list, the historical record Still creating under the feet of the "storm".
In the second week of August, EMI released the fourth single of "Storm" quietly again, without any publicity, without shooting a music video, without specially shooting the cover of the single, and without making a press announcement. To everyone's surprise, it was released quietly. But this single is like a budding rock belief, taking root in the American musical soil bit by bit.
"Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change (Waiting. On. The. World. To. Change)", this is the fourth single of "Storm".
When "Storm" was released, everyone thought that this song was a hidden track of the album, guessing that Glory to Death used this song to hide their real dreams. It is a pity that this conjecture was later proved to be incorrect, and the real hidden track has another real body.
However, now Glory to Death has chosen this single as the fourth single, and it was officially released in the week after the 40-week consecutive championship of "Storm". The hidden meaning in it makes people have to chew carefully .
"It's not because we don't care, it's just that we know the battle is unfair, so we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change; we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change. One day our generation will take control of the world, So we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change; we've been waiting, waiting for the world to change."
This is the dream of glory to the death. They have always dreamed of reviving the belief in rock and roll, but they know that this is an unfair battle, so they have been waiting. Waiting for the opening of Nirvana, waiting for Pearl Jam to create glory, waiting for Smashed Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Suede, Radiohead to fight side by side, waiting for new metal rock music to be popularized by the general public. Accepted, waiting for the society to take further preparations to welcome the era led by spiritual beliefs...then, they stood up, led this powerful force, and pushed the axis of history forward.
As a result, the three singles jointly dominated for 27 weeks; thus, "Storm" swept for 40 weeks; thus, rock and roll revived.
Waiting does not mean fear and avoidance, but to accumulate energy, change the world, control the world, and promote the world. Glory to death step by step, from "Almost Famous" to "Bath in the Morning Light" to "Storm", from street tour to "Road to Glory" to "Storm", from the Rose Bowl to Maracana to Madison Square Garden... This road has been extremely long and arduous. The thorns all over the road bloom proudly into bright flowers, the petals are stained red with blood and tears, and the aurora of the morning light lights up the stamens, truly releasing endless energy.
"Waiting for the world to change", Glory has been waiting until death.
EMI Records made a wise choice. They stood on the same front as Glory to Death. The single "Waiting for the World to Change" was released quietly, and then accompanied by the promotion of the twisted tour, it was played in big cities and small cities in North America. The towns spread gradually, not showing mountains or leaking water, but subtly changing the world.
So, when someone asked Glory to Death "when will the new single be released", they refused to answer, because they were waiting for the exact moment, and then set sail again, using the Twisted Tour as a platform to plant the seeds of rock faith deeply , deeply rooted in the vast land of the North American continent, and then fly to every corner of the world like a dandelion.
The dream of dying with glory is great, grand, and ethereal. In the eyes of many people, this is almost a choice of overestimating one's abilities, seeking one's own death, pretentiousness, and hypocrisy, but this is precisely the meaning of dreams: the conflict between reason and emotion, let the passionate impulse control the rhythm, and sway freely Looking forward to youth - squandering life recklessly, truly experiencing the power of being alive.
So, maybe glory to death is like a mantis holding a cart and an ant chewing an elephant, maybe their efforts are in vain in the end, maybe their strength is just a drop in the bucket, but at least they have the courage to try and take resolute steps on this road. This is the practical meaning behind the 40-week consecutive championship of "Glory to Death", the true meaning behind the name of the band "Glory to Death", and this is the real reason for the existence of the band "Glory to Death".
"Waiting for the world to change", the music dream of glory to death has just begun. People think that the 40-week consecutive championship has reached the peak of history-an insurmountable peak created by the right time, place and people, but in fact, from the perspective of Glory to Death, this is only their first starting point. starting point. This is the difference between dream and reality. Set sail and take big strides towards the storm!
Sailing! Sailing! Sailing!
