Chapter 577 577
Quarrels like this can be seen everywhere at the Junjie Music Festival, and there are quite a few people who are so arrogant that they can't wait to fight. Dispute, because here are all really professional fans, it can't be said that they know astronomy and geography, but at least they have their own opinions on rock - especially alternative rock, so all kinds of ideas will collide to produce Countless sparks, this is also one of the highlights of the festival.
But no matter what the focus and position of the quarrel, as long as the band and the music are authentic, in the end everyone will be persuaded by the performance and even fall in love with the band. Because everyone is a loyal rock lover, and they are also supporters of alternative rock. They are willing to explore the different charms of alternative rock, listen to the voices of different rock styles, and are more willing to discover new faces of alternative rock. This is the theme of the Junjie Music Festival. charm.
In 1991, Pearl Jam was under enormous pressure when she appeared at the Junjie Music Festival, and at that time, Nirvana's "Never Mind" had not been released. Almost no one knew what the so-called grunge was, but Pearl Jam still relied on her excellent performance. The performance has attracted a group of die-hard fans, and step by step it has become a top band in the American market that can compete with Nirvana.
Apparently the same is true today. Before the performance of Glory to Death, the audience gathered in front of the main stage became more and more numerous. Although speaking of individuality alone, the music of Glory to Death is far less than the shocking performance of the Kerosene Stove Band. , but because "Almost Famous" was released at the end of the year, it pushed the alternative rock trend that broke the grunge trend in 1993 to its peak, which also made Glory to Death a target.
In terms of topicality and attention, the performance of Glory to Death is the biggest attraction at this year's Junjie Music Festival, and everyone is looking forward to the live performance of this band. Although the band had a road tour before, but after that, a small number of viewers saw it, and many of them were not professional music fans. The Junjie Music Festival was the first show in the true sense of glory to death after the release of "Almost Famous". Stage - subject to the test of 20,000 professional fans, how good the band is, how authentic the media is, and how high the music quality is, everything will be revealed after today.
The fire clouds on the edge of the sky were burning, the night was slowly falling, and the lights on the main stage were all turned on. At this time, at least two-thirds of the 20,000 spectators gathered in front of the main stage. The second half of the performance It's about to kick off, although the side stage will also have performances to start at the same time, but the audience is more concerned about what kind of performance Glory will give to the death.
At this time, the instruments on the stage have been placed, and the members of the band who died of glory are already standing on the stage. They are making the final confirmation of the instruments. The commotion under the stage is gradually brewing a storm, but this one Whether the storm will ignite the enthusiasm of everyone or destroy the entire stage, no one knows.
Sally was not nervous at first, because she likes the music of Glory to the Dead, and she likes the rock and roll that only belongs to Glory to the Dead. This is also the biggest purpose of her coming to Los Angeles today, and it can even be said to be the only purpose. However, after the episode just now, Sally realized that the band's pursuit of their dreams was not smooth sailing. The setbacks and difficulties they had to face were far more violent than they imagined. Therefore, Sally hopes that the band will face Being able to succeed is more eager than ever, more urgent than any desire, she firmly believes that as long as the band can succeed, as long as the band can continue to persevere, she will be able to have the motivation to keep going!
Jessica looked at Sally's tensed cheeks, and she couldn't help feeling nervous. She didn't know what the music of Glory to Death was like, but she didn't want to see her daughter's disappointed expression. What's more, Hugo is indeed a competent commentator this afternoon, and her impression of this rock musician has also changed drastically. Perhaps, this band can really bring Sally a unique spiritual strength. .
"It's on!" Sally shouted excitedly, as she saw Hugo walk right in front of the stage, he changed into a simple white T-shirt with black jeans, slung his guitar across the back, and nothing else. There was no other extra attire. I saw Hugo walking to the microphone stand, adjusting the height of the microphone stand, and the other band members were all in place. Sally knew that the performance was about to start.
Not only Sally, but Meredith, Melalyn, Eli, Joshua, Liam, and others who were standing at the scene were all excited. There was no need to remind them, and the screams were out of control. It burst out from the throat, so there was a buzzing scream in front of the main stage. It was not loud at first, but then it was like the waves of a rising tide. climax.
This kind of cheering did not break through the deadly pressure in the air, but instead made the air thinner and more tense, as if someone would collapse or explode if it was not vented.
At this moment, Hugo raised his right hand and stretched out his slender and powerful fingers, one, two, three! "Huh..." A series of sound effects of bombers soaring at low altitude cut through the dark night sky, and scattered the stars in the sky. A little bit of light embellished like the day.
Hugo stood in front of the microphone with a bright smile on his face, as if this was not night, but a sunny beach facing the wind; as if this was not the stage of the "Judgment" Music Festival, but the streets of Los Angeles. The casual performance is normal. Hugo raised his right hand relaxedly, spread his fingers, and tapped the keyboard lightly in the air, as if using the night sky as his keyboard to play the song "Kill. Your. Heroes", and his mouth was Cheering cheerfully into the microphone, "Oh! Hey!"
This relaxed and lively atmosphere tilted down like moonlight without any hindrance, "Well, I met a dying old man on the train," Hugo held the microphone in both hands, pressing his own voice to burst out his dantian. The sound of the air was torn into sound waves, and turned into colorful fireworks in the air, blooming one by one. This slightly hoarse but textured voice is like pure black velvet, and the stars all over the sky have changed. Became shining diamonds, blooming beautifully in Hugo's rendition, "No more direction, no more pain. Well, he said, 'Before I die, There's only one thing... never let your fear determine your destiny.'"
The simplest melody, the simplest lyrics, and the simplest arrangement, but in Hugo's interpretation burst out the most dazzling light. The entire scene was instantly surrounded by glorious performances. The simple and powerful drum beat was like a sap slamming into everyone's heart, and the direct and powerful keyboard sound was like a sharp slap in the face. The thorns constantly impacted the blockade of the skin.
Listen, there is no gorgeous arrangement, no cumbersome guitars, and no elements of grunge. This melody is simple and catchy, as if it can be played back in my mind after just listening to it once, but my mind oscillates. Infinite echoes.
Think, what do the lyrics mean, dying old man? Fear decides destiny? What shit is this! Could it be that the dying old man is dying rock, and fear is the rejection of innovation for change?
Feel, the vibration frequency of the pulse is like breaking the blockade of the skin, the blood flow speed is like breaking the shackles of the brain, and the beating arc of the heart is like breaking the shield of the chest. It came without warning.
It's hard to imagine that these are just two lyrics, interspersed in the simple melody, but it seems like a real bomber has passed over the head, and the roar has already dropped bombs one by one, and then every time A rush of thoughts bursts into one's mind.
Although there are many loyal fans who came to the scene today, Eli and Liam are in charge of the organization, but overall, at least 99% of the 20,000 people are not Glory to Death of fans, and even more than 90 percent have never heard the album "Almost Famous". So, Hugo's moving voice opened the door to a whole new world for them!
Before the turbulent thoughts could unfold, Hugo's voice completely detonated the lyrics, "I said 'yes', kill your hero, and fly, fly, baby don't cry."
The phrase "kill the hero" rang out in the night sky, and suddenly it made people wonder if they heard it wrong. Kill the hero? Whose hero to kill, and what hero to kill? Is it to kill Guns and Roses, or Nirvana, or the diehards who don't understand the band's musical style?
No, it doesn't seem like this should be the case. It should be to stifle the constraints of those rules and regulations in the heart, break free from the blockade of all frames, break the routine, find your own style, create your own music, and condense your own rock spirit. If you don't kill the "hero" in your heart, then such rock and roll is the beginning of death. Real rock is always on the road to killing the rules.
The heart in the chest is answering the call of the sonorous rhythm of the Glory to Death, "No need to worry because everyone dies. Every day we just go, go, baby don't go. No need to worry, I love you more than anything. ."
Bang Bang Bang, this strong and powerful heart beating sound is not only calling for the desire for music in your heart, but also calling for your own passion for music, but also calling for your own catering to glory to death; Bang Bang Bang, that almost The rhythm of the heart breaking through the chest truly reflects the real thoughts in the heart at the moment, they are rock fans, they are a group of rock lunatics, they are crazy for rock, they live and die for rock, they don't care what rock is, They just want to get drunk in rock and roll.
So, then why not respond to the most authentic portrayal of the heart and enjoy the music to the fullest?
Bang bang bang, this is the drum beat played by the Glory to the Dead Band, and at the same time the sound of Hugo's beautiful voice soaring in the night sky, easily killing everyone's inner hero, willing to surrender!
