Chapter 521 521 Bauhinia Crown

The stage is not big, just enough for the five members of the band; the stage is not high, just knee-high. This caused the audience under the stage to directly surround the stage, and they were close to Hugo and Neil, who were standing at the front of the stage. Even if they were three steps away from Fu Jin, who was sitting at the back, the audience could almost watch To the faces of each member, every detail of the performance can be clearly observed.

It's a formal show, but it's a street show that brings the band closer to the audience without reducing the quality of the band's performance.

When the band members took to the stage, all the tension, all worries, all anxiety disappeared. As Henry said, they belong to the stage, the stage is their world and their territory, as long as they have their own instruments in their hands, they are The fully-armed warriors did their best to devote themselves to their performances, imprinted their souls in the music, and vented them heartily.

The audience at the scene today is not that many, there are only more than 300 people at the scene, but the whole section of Telegraph Street is full of jams. Except for the heads of people, even the storefront opposite the Amoeba Records is crowded. Submerged, so that the other party has no way to operate normally.

The band soon discovered the difference in today's live audience when the first song entered the second half. The band chose the cathartic "Lithium" as the opening track of the performance, when the melody came to the chorus. , "Every day I only look forward to Sunday morning, I am not afraid, light my candle, in a state of dizziness, because I have found the main god." Hugo's voice has gradually mastered the articulation of tearing and bursting, and then Just in the drumbeat of Fu Jin, the excitement in the body was completely vented, "Yeah!"

The audience at the scene seemed to have agreed on a good deal. They started screaming along with Hugo's roar, screaming and jumping, igniting the entire Telegraph Street with their enthusiasm. In less than two minutes, the performance was performed. to the first climax. If the first chorus was just a warm-up, then by the second time, all the audience at the scene joined the carnival, making the scene a sea of ​​flames.

When Hugo sang, "I love it, I'm not broken! I miss you, I'm not broken! I love you, I'm not broken! I kill you, I'm not broken!"

Nearly two-thirds of the audience waved their hands to meet Fu Jin's drum beat, and then shouted "I didn't collapse" loudly, stepping on the rhythm of Hugo's singing every time, like a harmony. The momentum of the whole song was pushed to a peak, so that all the owners and guests in the storefronts on Telegraph Street swarmed out, watching the scene in amazement, this storm that almost overturned the roof.

The more than 30 reporters who arrived at the scene stared at the audience's response. In fact, this was not just a response, but more of a response, as if the audience had already rehearsed before. Only bands that have debuted for many years and only songs that have been called classics can call the audience to sing along when they sing live. The effect of the chorus of thousands of people is also one of the most shocking parts of every concert, but today , Glory to Death, this newcomer band, has such a form of support, which is really incredible.

Last time we performed at the Hollywood Bowl, the audience had tried this kind of support, but there were still a lot of people who were unfamiliar with the band, so the support at the scene seemed a bit fragmented. But today, it's all so harmonious, everyone dances to the music in unison.

This is not simply to shout slogans, but to go crazy with the music with all the enthusiasm, but two-thirds of the audience adjusted their crazy rhythm to the same rhythm, which also made the atmosphere of the whole scene easily pushed to The boiling point pushed the not-so-high temperature in December to another season.

Compared with the reporters on the sidelines and the guests of other stores, the other audience members in front of the stage had the most obvious and true feelings about it. Two-thirds of the audience maintained a basically consistent pace, and moved their enthusiasm towards the same level of enthusiasm. The rhythm of the rhythm was released, which made the remaining audience involuntarily infected, especially the musical appeal that almost stings the skin of the glory standing on the stage, which was released rough and brutal in Hugo's voice , it is easy to let the unidentified audience also embark on the same rhythm.

This made the scene a sea of ​​flames!

If it was a coincidence that this happened in the first song "Lithium", then the second song "Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger" also appeared in the same situation, which is Very noticeable.

When the music cuts to the chorus, more than 300 audience members sing loudly in unison, "So Sally can wait", "Her youth gradually withers", the overwhelming appeal almost made people cry. At this moment, behind the audience, two thin bamboo poles stood up, and then they were pulled away to the sides with a hula, and a huge horizontal bar appeared in front of them, directly killing the glory standing on the stage. All stunned.

At this moment, the music on the stage actually stopped, and it stopped in pieces, but all the audience in the audience screamed with all their strength, "So Sally can wait, she knows that even if you wake up too late, even if you have been beaten by everyone Abandoned, her youth is gradually withering, but I remember you said, don't feel sorry for the past. At least not today." There is no music accompaniment, some are just the roars of the audience singing a cappella, but the neat and majestic singing is in The whole long street reverberated, and the endless echoes of the lyrics were echoed by the blue sky. The shock brought by the sharp contrast between the extreme quiet and the extreme noise is unparalleled.

The five members of Glory To Death are old fritters who have participated in more than 200 collaborative performances. They will definitely not stop the music easily, but the huge banner in front of them made all five band members stunned, including Henry standing on the side stage.

I saw the banner on the white background with the words "Death. Or. Glory" written in purple-gold font, and then on the far right side drew a cartoon version of the image of a bulldog with a crooked head. Wearing a crown surrounded by purple-gold thorns, this is a four-arched coronation crown with gold mottled, but the gemstones inlaid on it have been damaged, and the thorns around it make the crown look like it has gone through vicissitudes, but with With a rough and direct sense of tragic, it symbolizes the thorny road to the crown.

Obviously, the bulldog represents "D.O.G", and the crown of thorns represents the band's road to success. Although the road is arduous, they can finally get the crown; although the glory is dilapidated, it is It's the biggest compliment to the band. Compared with those gorgeous and noble crowns, this crown surrounded by purple and golden thorns is the truest portrayal of the spirit of the band!

The band members are surprised that this crown represents the band's crown, they are surprised that the band has such a real and appropriate logo, and they are even more surprised that the band has such a loyal and die-hard fan!

At this time, the ongoing support, the simple but gorgeous banner in front of him represents the biggest achievement along the way to the death of glory: die-hard fans!

It's hard to imagine how much time this group of fans spent waiting for this day, how much hope they had for Glory to Death, and more importantly, how much energy they got from the music of Glory to Death. Looking at the crown that must be broken, the inner excitement began to surge, so that the band had to temporarily interrupt the performance, unprecedented.

Hugo subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Samora standing on the side stage. Sure enough, he saw Samora's excited expression, and following Samora's line of sight, he could see that one at the end of the audience. A familiar figure, Eli and Liam holding the banner, Andy, Meredith, Melalyn, Joshua... and those who followed the band on the road tour Die-hard fans.

At the moment there are tears of excitement on their faces as they plan this event since the Hollywood Bowl, as they discuss the logo of the fan group for almost a week as they prepare for the band's live performance , but also because of the excitement and emotion on the faces of the band members at this moment... everything is worth it.

Hugo looked at the familiar faces, and then looked at the unfamiliar faces. They were singing loudly with all their strength, "Don't be upset about the past, at least not today."

Hugo didn't wipe the hot tears that were rolling in his eyes, because he was enjoying the madness of this moment, the tears that almost burned his eyes made him feel alive like never before, so Hugo picked up the microphone again, and then the audience The song continued.

"There is boredom in your eyes, because you can't find the place where your dreams can come true. When you say you give up, all the hard work you put in will disappear without a trace. So , I will start a revolution from the bed, because you say that my thoughts have swept my head, outside the house is summer in full bloom, when you stand by the fire, the fire glows red on your face, you The hope in my heart is burning like that flame."

Hugo's voice with a little crying is so real and moving. The most sincere emotions are clearly expressed in every word and every musical symbol, and the true meaning of music is interpreted like the thrilling golden sunshine in the sky. The enthusiasm on the scene melted into magma, and then the Telegraph Street paved with bluestone bricks under the feet was rendered red, and the whole world changed color at this moment, even the thrilling blue above the head. Became a supporting role, outlined Hugo's performance in the most wonderful shape, pierced into this dazzling red without any obstruction, and then exploded!

Fukukin's drum beat, "Boom Boom" joins in; Neil, Pedro, and Alfonso see each other's hazy influence through their own tears, then tap the rhythm and play again at the same time, and in an instant, the whole The scene was surrounded by the deafening music. At this moment, this is the center of the world, because this is where the hearts of more than 300 spectators are beating.
