Chapter 399: 399
"I'm so lonely, but it's okay, I shaved my head, I'm not sad, maybe I'll condemn all the hearsay, but I'm not sure. I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you, but I don't care, I'm so Hungry. Thirsty, but okay, my wishes are good."
The song of glory to death is only halfway through. When the song reaches the second part, the mood of the whole song becomes clear. Although the lyrics are still very obscure, they are hidden behind the simple melody, walking on a tightrope. The crisis of collapse that could break out at any time suddenly held his heart tightly, causing all the muscles in his body to tighten immediately, clenching his teeth and shivering in front of the cliff.
The senseless inferiority and fearless self-mockery are completely released in Hugo's voice, with unparalleled impact, the combination of keyboard, guitar and bass is pushed to the extreme by the rhythm of the drum, and the melody seems to contain The shocking energy that was enough to tear the sky and burst out of the universe was fully vented in this small square, which made all the crowd standing in the square into a state of sluggishness, and they could only foolishly sing Hugo on the stage. .
Then, the force of the impact came on his face, "Yeah, yeah!" It felt like an atomic bomb exploded in slow motion in front of him. The clear air wave hit his cheeks, causing all the muscles in his body to tremble. Even if you want to clench your teeth, even if you want to clench your fists, even if you want to stand firm, but in the face of the huge energy of music, it is all in vain, that trembling from the depths of the soul makes all efforts seem so ridiculous, Only tremble with the music, no one can make an exception.
"I love it and I'm not broken yet! I miss you and I am not broken yet! I love you and I am not broken yet! I killed you and I am not broken yet!"
The sound of the thumping and beating of the heart has no meaning at this time. The drum beat has replaced the position of the heart and has become the pacemaker for everyone's life. The most trivial part of the melody is like dust flying constantly under the sun. It can only rhythm in the flow of air, and then form a huge airflow, like a tornado, destroying everything around it. Devastated.
The simple guitar strings, strong drum impact, solid bass connection, and explosive live performances ignite the darkness in each audience's heart, the passion in the mind, the passion in the chest, and then Completely released, there is no choice but to shout to the music!
Liam and Eli were both really shocked at this time. They followed the glory to the death all the way to Memphis. They had heard the song "Lithium" countless times, but the shock was never as powerful as it is today. , the kind of trembling that people can't control when they hold their breath, makes them cry like a reptile with tears in their eyes, but they all know that this is not the performance of reptiles, but the catharsis from the soul.
Samora was even more impacted. He only realized what an outbreak is today. Facing Radiohead's performance of the fragile "Reptile" that made people feel devoured by darkness, the glory of death was actually in "Lithium" Such a powerful burst of power is released on this song, and it elevates the quality of the entire live performance to a notch. Both bands gave top-notch classic performances, and the joy of the soul made the world a better place.
Samora likes Radiohead, even if he just listened to a song, he also likes this band with full personality and perfect scene; but he prefers to be honored to death, even admiration, admiration, and longing, because he Along the way, I have seen this band grow up. Their live performances today can easily kill any of their previous live performances. Whether it is emotional release or melody control, they have reached a brand new peak. The ability to progress makes Samora amazed.
Samora was suddenly very curious, if given enough time to die of glory, whether they would go to an unprecedented height on the road of music, such as the Beatles, such as Michael Jackson. Even if he just thought about it in his mind, Samora couldn't control his tears and started to cry like the little girl he despised the most, but Samora didn't plan to wipe the tears. On the contrary, he followed the rain. Guo Na's voice that had already started to become hoarse roared together, "I haven't collapsed yet!"
The so-called audio-visual feast is probably like this.
First listened to Radiohead's heartbreaking performance, and then listened to the catharsis of Glory to the Dead, violent enough to destroy everything, and the ups and downs of emotions made every audience in the square lose their voice, even if they wanted to Screaming, but also powerless, but there is no way to express the inner roar, and finally can only express his admiration with the frenzy of applause.
"Hula la..." When the performance of the glory to death ended, the audience's applause suddenly gathered, and the emotions that had been suppressed for four minutes and seventeen seconds were released heartily at this moment, the overwhelming applause. With emotional catharsis, it flooded the entire square like a tsunami.
It was a day to remember for Memphis and for Beale Street, and the street showdown between Radiohead and Death in Glory was bound to be one of the most special moments of this special year in 1993.
It is hard to imagine that only 200 people at the scene experienced this historic moment, but the shock of these 200 people began to spread around with thunderous applause, the music flowing in the bones of the city of Memphis. The blood began to surge, and with Beale Street as the center, people began to crowd the square one after another, just because the music calling from here penetrated their souls.
When Hugo finished his performance, he could feel a sense of comfort throughout his body. Not only did his understanding of the song and his reading of the performance go to the next level, it was definitely a big deal for him as the lead singer. Progress; and the whole band's running-in has reached a perfect state for the first time just now. Looking back at his teammates, without exception, everyone has a smile of enjoyment on their faces.
It's a perfect performance.
The five members of the Glory to Death turned their heads and looked to the left at the same time. The five members of Radiohead Band thirty yards away also looked over. The eyes of the two sides met in the air. On the one hand, both sides admire each other's performance, which is a deep admiration. Emotions began to surge inside.
Obviously thirty yards away, Hugo could only see an outline of Thomas' face, but he felt that Thomas was clearly smiling at him, then raised his chin, as if saying, "The first round. It's over, how about the second round?"
The two bands with almost the same configuration are in the alternative rock style, but the music performed by the two sides is completely different, and the mutual sympathy between the two sides broke out by coincidence, as if they met a confidant, but at the same time they encountered a competitor. Emotions are exhilarating. More importantly, both parties can give full play to their own strengths and show off everything the band has. important.
So, Hugo also ignored the distance, raised his chin slightly, and pouted, as if to say, "Why not?"
Sure enough, I saw Toms turn around and say something to his bandmates, and then Radiohead began to perform again.
On July 22, 1993, at William Christopher Handy Square on Billy Street, there was a showdown that would be talked about ten years later, Radiohead and Death to Glory, both of whom were nationals at the time. The unknown band chose Memphis, the birthplace of rock and roll, to perform on the streets, and both parties gave performances beyond their own standards, making the audience a feast for the ears, and at the same time kicking off the long and classic musical careers of these two bands.
The crowds in the square are getting more and more crowded, people passing by pass by one by one, and one after another, people who come to the square to enjoy the long-lost music feast are crowding this small square, which reminds people again in a trance. The Beale Street Rock Music Festival (Beale.Street.Music.Festival) held here in early May every year, the glory of rock and roll once again bloomed infinitely in the city of Memphis.
One hundred people, two hundred people...five hundred people...800 people, more than 800 spectators surrounded the entire square, making people suspect that it would be difficult for even an ant to squeeze in, but even so , There are still many loyal rock fans in all directions of the city of Memphis heading here, crowding the entire Beale Street, and the surrounding traffic is completely paralyzed.
It's been forgotten that it's been a while since Sam Phillips disbanded Sun Records in 1969, and the city of Memphis hasn't been so excited purely for rock and roll. And today, that pure moving echoes over Memphis again.
Only this time, not because Nirvana came to Memphis for a concert, but because two fledgling bands stood on the plaza stage for a showdown, their purest love for music, the spark that burst out of their showdown with each other , so that the entire Beale Street regained its glory thirty years ago.
This afternoon, with the reports written by reporters, it began to spread in major cities in the United States. Radiohead traveled across the Atlantic to the United States to tour to promote the single "Reptile"; Death to Glory began in San Francisco, singing and singing along the way, on a street road tour across the United States. This kind of story is too legendary and too inspirational, and it shines in a different light under the reporter's pen.
But for the two bands, Radiohead and Glory To Death, the biggest reward is the full-hearted singing. They are separated by a distance of thirty yards. Unable to admit defeat, intense sparks bloomed after the collision!
