Chapter 534 534 Hot Discussion

"As far as I know, the captain of Glory to Death is Neil, right?" The question posed by Jojo seems to be very simple, but it is very special. It has been two weeks since the promotion of Glory to the Dead, and the recorded program Although not many, the interviews received are in double digits, but no one has ever raised this question.

On the one hand, it’s because the captain of a rock band doesn’t really matter. What people really care about in a rock band is the soul of the band. This soul may be the lead singer, the guitarist, or the source of creation, but relatively speaking, the captain is not. Not an important role; on the other hand, because of the particularity of the band, Glory to Death, Hugo is the lead singer, the creator, the album producer, not to mention his actor status, and almost all eyes are focused Come on, people take it for granted that the captain should be Hugo.

But Qiaoqiao noticed this detail, so he brought it up directly, which really surprised many listeners in front of the radio.

Neil and Hugo glanced at each other. In fact, when they decided on the captain, everyone expected this to happen. Although it was a little later than expected, it was not unexpected. Neil smiled and said, "Yeah, it's me. I know a lot of people are surprised, why I'm the captain, in fact, the captain is just a chores role, I think everyone is very important to the band. All need to contribute, considering my personal abilities, so I chose this role, hoping to give my energy to the band."

"Oh, please, Neil, are you serious?" Pedro was the first to shout, causing all the band members to laugh.

In fact, although many people don't pay attention to the question of who is the captain of the rock band, it is very important for the captain himself, because the so-called captain, interpreted literally and by position, is the leader of the band , but also the core of the band, this position is very important for the band.

Just like the band called Zhishui in the movie "Almost Famous", there is a huge conflict between the leader and the core of the band's creation. The main reason is that people cheer for the core of the band, but as the leader, Ignored, this mentality difference can easily lead to problems.

The same goes for Brand New Day, the band before Fookkin.

However, this problem obviously does not exist within Glory to Death, Hugo also said after laughing, "I must emphasize that Neil is the most important existence in our band, the reason why he can become the captain is because our band needs Neil unites us."

"Neil is a very talented guy, technically speaking, he's definitely the best part of our band, but at the same time he's very humble and calm, he's always able to notice what we're missing, and then we The band is integrated and our strength can grow." Hugo explained it simply, in fact, outsiders will never know the situation inside the band, although Hugo is the source of inspiration for the band's music, but the way to the death of glory can be Come, Neil's contribution is the most powerful, "As a captain, it is difficult for Neil to pick out faults."

"Besides being too harsh..." This was Fu Jin's voice.

"Besides being too serious..." This was Pedro's voice.

"Besides being too picky..." This was Alfonso's voice.

"Hey guys, you shouldn't... oh yeah, except it's too much trouble." It was Hugo's voice.

Before Hugo could finish speaking, the entire recording studio was filled with outrageous laughter, and even Jojo could feel the harmonious atmosphere between the band members, but Neil shook his head helplessly and smiled. , and then shrugged at Jojo, "So, you see, I'm really in charge of chores."

Jojo is full of curiosity about the state of the band Glory to Death. In fact, in this band, because of Hugo's great success, the attention of the entire band is in a serious unbalanced situation, and everyone's attention is focused on On Hugo, the other four members received very limited attention, and Neil, as the captain, was under heavy pressure. But there is a rare harmony within the band. You must know how many rock bands are divided because of the huge gap in attention after becoming famous, which makes the harmony to the death of glory more and more rare.

So Jojo chatted enthusiastically about all the details of the band, such as how the band was formed, such as interesting things that happened during the band's road tour, such as the inspiration for the band to make the album "Almost Famous"... ...During this chat, Jojo became more and more interested in Glory to Death, and at the same time, the audience in front of the radio became more and more.

Although KIIS is only a radio in the Greater Los Angeles area, the listening rate is naturally not as wide as that of the national broadcast, but the influence of the radio station in the Greater Los Angeles area is second to none. The entire Greater Los Angeles area has a fixed population of nearly 10 million, and dozens more Thousands of people drive past the floating population and hundreds of thousands of people on the move in the city. At this moment, the listening rate of KIIS is as high as 31%, which is almost double that of the country music programs that dominate the country music program with the average listening rate in the United States. times, and surpassed KIIS's own peak average viewership rating, which means more than three million people in the Greater Los Angeles area are now listening to the show.

This statistic is horrific! From this, we can glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the strong momentum of glory to death.

Down in Los Angeles. In the Al Bar in the city, dozens of people were sitting lively. The bar was listening to the radio program. The slightly hoarse voice drifted slowly in the western-style bar, but at this time, the guests who were drinking were in. The discussion was so intense that it overwhelmed the radio, making it difficult to hear the interview going on on the radio.

"Shut up! Glory to Death is a piece of garbage, their music shouldn't exist at all, it's a terrible thing!" A strong man sitting on the left side of the bar stood up, shouting Roaring impatiently, "Green, you should change the channel, even if you listen to Mariah Carey screaming there. The bed is better than this show!"

The others behind the strong man on the left all cheered up and agreed. However, the group of people on the opposite right immediately started complaining, "Shut up" and "Get out" one after another, and finally a young man stood up directly, "Shut up if you don't know how to appreciate it! If you don't know how to seek innovation Bands looking for change don't deserve the title of rock and roll, and it's the kind of music that you vulgar old stubborn can't understand."

"What do you guys who don't even have long hair say!"

"Shut up!"

The crowds on both sides stood up, and the sound of the radio program was completely drowned out by the commotion. Green Hill, who was standing in the bar, had a calm expression on his face. He tapped the bar table with a beer mug, and the empty voice rang out. You can't afford to pay for what's inside."

With Green's "repression", everyone did not go any further, but cursed at each other.

Eric Walter, the bartender beside Green, asked worriedly, "Is it okay to let them quarrel like this?"

Instead of worrying, Green laughed, "Really good music should stand up to all the questioning, and these people are willing to fight over music that is glorious to death, which shows that they have corresponding value. We are just a bar, yes A place to discuss music, why stop them?"

Eric touched his nose, but didn't speak, but turned to look at the "Almost Famous" album on the wine cabinet. Obviously, Green was supporting glory to the death.

Since there were a group of big men in the bar, they were just howling and couldn't do anything. Soon everyone felt bored, so they all quieted down and listened to the content of the radio, hoping to find it again from Qiaoqiao's interview questions. A topic worth arguing about.

Obviously, the liveliness of Al Bar is only a corner of the entire Greater Los Angeles area, and similar scenes can be seen everywhere.

"Mom! I'm listening to the radio, don't turn it off, okay? Mom! Oh god, I hate you, I'm listening to the show, god, that's glory to death!" The backyard of a villa in Orange County (Orange. Country) On the lawn, the little girl's complaint was particularly evident in the lazy afternoon sun.

"Wow, this is all amazing, God, I really like Fukukin, don't you think his voice is charming?" This is inland San Bernardino County (San. Bernardino. Country) The voice of a little girl lying on the bed listening to the program in the small county town.

Next to the little girl sat her brother, rolling his eyes impatiently, "Please! Hugo is the soul of this band, soul! Don't you understand? The band is so amazing because of Hugo's music. of!"

In a yellow retro car slowly advancing on Santa Monica Boulevard, Jojo Wright's funny and humorous voice came, and the boy who was driving with a complaining face gradually quieted down. Another boy immediately showed a smug expression, "I told you, glory to death is not the same, they are even better than Nirvana!"

In the slums of Ventura County, a black man sat in front of a tape recorder and listened to the program fascinatedly, when a partner came over and said, "Turn this thing off, and those white people sing things Call it music? That's just rubbish!"

This sentence caused a strong resistance from the black guy, "Hey, pay attention to your words! Music to the death of glory is not garbage, don't compare it to those white noises! They are the people who really understand music, Did you know? Their research on hip-hop and blues is far beyond your imagination!”

On the tree-lined trail in Los Angeles County (Los. Angels. Country), a youthful and energetic figure was running wildly, and when he entered the house, he shouted, "Angela, Angela, listen to one hundred and two, Glory to Death... Glory to Death is on the show..."

"Shut up!" The girl in the room immediately screamed, "Shut up!" But she didn't have time to reprimand her friends, and hurriedly pointed to the radio in front of her, "Listen, listen." Then she lost all language , the little friend immediately walked gently to the sofa and sat down slowly, lest there be any sound, and his ears were stretched to listen to the sound from the radio.
