Chapter 701 Chapter 701
As the most influential professional music magazine in the British Isles on the other side of the Atlantic, "Q Magazine" naturally spares no effort to pay attention to the Grammys. Obviously, "Q Magazine" is also full of countless resentments for the 36th Grammys. Not only because of the British rock bands born in 1993, such as Goatskin, Shen Yun, and Stain, led British rock to the international stage again, but they were directly ignored by the Grammys; but also because of the rock feast set off in the United States. It also suffered a Grammy ****, which made "Q Magazine" a little gloating, but some sympathy.
"Q Magazine" said in its professional review for the 36th Grammy, "The effort to die of glory has been ignored by the Grammys, which may be the current state of the American pop music market: the trend has happened. Earth-shaking changes, but the academics still stick to their positions conservatively and are unwilling to change.
Although the Irish band U2 won the Best Alternative Music Album Award, this is an important affirmation for this long-lasting band, but there is no doubt that the title of 'alternative music' is not suitable for U2. Make the unsuccessful Smashing Pumpkins and Glory to the Dead look even more 'ridiculous' - Grammy's mockery of itself.
The Goatskin Band, Shen Yun Band, and Stain Band from the British Isles reproduced the brilliance and classics of the Beatles' golden age, but on the other side of the Atlantic, only Radiohead was initially recognized. To say it is an insult and a step backwards for the American pop music market.
Glory to the Dead took the last train of the rock revival in 1993, with 'Lithium' and 'Don't. Look. Back. In. Anger' being the pinnacle of the song , let people vaguely see the grand occasion when punk was born in 1977, which also made Glory to the Dead qualified to compete with Nirvana, but unfortunately, the truth was always not treated fairly when it first came out , it was in the beginning of rock, it was in the beginning of punk, it was in the beginning of grunge, and it is so now.
The 36th Grammy first missed 'Lithium', then 'Don't be sorry for the past', and finally missed the glory to death. History will prove the mistake of this decision. "
This is just "Q Magazine"'s comment on the Grammys, but there are also parts of it that mention Glory to the Dead and Hugo's attitude, which is also the most direct counterattack to the "Chicago Tribune" point of view.
"To Die Glory made its position clear before the Grammy nominations came out: they would not be attending this awards ceremony. Obviously, this newcomer band has a more accurate positioning and recognition, and they know how to enter the The middle-aged Grammys could not give their band the corresponding affirmation, so they simply rejected the Grammys from the beginning.
Perhaps, the mainstream media are fighting for Glory to Death, including us, that Grammys ignore Glory to Death and ignore rock and roll revolution, this is a historic mistake; but in fact, from Glory to Death, they have no regrets at all, Because even if such a Grammy awards the band, it is not a correct recognition, on the contrary, it is an insult - to identify 'almost famous' as an insult to mainstream rock, which is really devastating to the band's musical style the blow.
Dead of Glory frontman Hugo Lancaster once said in an interview, 'If they can't even define our musical style, what qualifications do they have to discuss our nominations, what qualifications do they have? To hold a musical feast? ’
Now, we can send that sentence to the Grammys again. "
The "Chicago Tribune" ridiculed Hugo for not winning the Rookie of the Year award, but the news from "Q Magazine" responded unintentionally: Hugo didn't care! Because in Hugo's view, the Grammys have not figured out what the music of Glory to Death is, so even if the Grammys awarded the award, it would be unknown. An insult to the music of the dead.
The response from "Q Magazine" on the other side of the Atlantic was not violent, because they did not intend to respond to the "Chicago Tribune" at all, but the "U.S. Weekly" report was clearly prepared, and they comprehensively responded to the "Chicago Tribune". The New York Post, the National Enquirer and the Chicago Tribune responded.
"Hugo Lancaster was filming a blasting scene on the 'Life and Death' crew. He refused to use a double and went on stage in person. As a result, the explosion was a little off, causing Lancaster to be overturned by the air wave and hit directly. On the wall, he fell into a brief coma. In order to ensure that Lancaster did not have a concussion and internal bleeding, the crew left and sent someone to send him to a nearby hospital for examination.
Lancaster's dedication and focus have been recognized and praised by the entire 'Life and Death' crew. In order to shoot this scene well, he even risked his life, just to be able to finally present a wonderful picture effect, which won the crew. Unanimous praise from the staff.
However, the injured Lancaster did not receive corresponding care in the hospital. Due to the hospital's fault, the hospital fell into chaos. Although Lancaster tried his best to avoid making noise and even deliberately avoided the crowd, all the Efforts were all ruined by the arrival of reporters.
A large number of reporters rushed into the hospital in order to interview Lancaster's injuries as soon as possible, and surrounded Lancaster who had just completed the examination in the inpatient department, even ignoring the patients who were resting. Conduct interviews on the spot. According to the information reported by the eyewitnesses of the hospital staff, Lancaster did not conflict with the reporter, but asked to change the location for the interview, but the reporter still persevered. In desperation, Lancaster chose to break through the siege. He took the initiative to come to a relatively secluded place, and the reporters who were chasing after him again besieged him here.
Lancaster told reporters that he refused to be interviewed in the hospital, and a reporter from New York provoked: Can we understand that the "Life and Death" crew refused to cooperate with the media. In this regard, Lancaster gave the strongest response, saying that the following "Life and Death" refused to accept any form of interview with this media during the promotion period.
Subsequently, Lancaster severely reprimanded the reporters at the scene when he couldn't bear it any longer. Even during the reprimand, Lancaster kept suppressing his anger in order to keep the hospital quiet.
A resident doctor at the hospital, who did not want to be named, said that Lancaster hated the noise of hospital staff and the entanglement of reporters. He also realized that his arrival had an impact on the tranquility of the hospital, and tried to control the situation as much as possible. It is a pity that the lack of cooperation of the relevant personnel led to a farce.
However, when the news broke out, some media actually pointed the finger at Lancaster. This kind of news report that reversed black and white is undoubtedly the greatest irony of the media's freedom of speech and pursuit of the truth.
Lancaster entered the hospital for examination when he was injured, but was unable to enjoy the normal treatment that any ordinary person should receive. This is undoubtedly cruel and cruel. If Lancaster is seriously injured, the behavior of these reporters and onlookers is likely to lead to uncontrollable consequences, which has exceeded the bottom line of morality and must be strongly condemned; even if Lancaster did not Injured, he should also receive the normal treatment of the hospital, the reporter's interview and the onlookers, should not happen inside the hospital.
Not long ago, the news media created a heinous 'witch trial' incident on Michael Jackson, and now they are using their freedom of speech to oppress Hugo Lancaster and even affect Lancaster The right to special treatment, what is the difference between this and a murderer?
The media even put the blame on Lancaster's temper. If Lancaster got angry in order to maintain a quiet rest environment for patients, such behavior needs to be blamed, then should the culprits who made the noise should be? What about being imprisoned by the Los Angeles police?
Even the media put the blame on the 'speed of life' crew and the just-concluded Grammy Awards ceremony, trying to create more news breaking points, if Lancaster's dedication should be blamed , If Lancaster's insistence on music should also be blamed, what actions should artists in the film industry and music industry use to impress the public?
When the media do whatever they want under the banner of freedom of speech, is this considered a terrorist act threatening social security? "
This review of "US Weekly" can be said to restore the entire process of the incident, clearly, and at the end of the review, "New York Post", "National Enquirer", "Chicago Tribune" one by one condemned First, although it was not clearly pointed out, the implication between the lines was very clear, which was obviously the most direct counterattack against them.
From a simple hospital incident to the Grammy debate, and then to the media's ability to distort facts and reverse black and white, this time the war has escalated very quickly, especially when it comes to the glory of dying at the Grammys and returning empty-handed As a matter of fact, the whole debate has been burning like a prairie fire in an instant - obviously, there are many media who are willing to fight for the glory to the death, and there is no shortage of media who are willing to maintain the authority of the Grammys.
The incident in the hospital, the discussion about the Grammys, and the concern about "speed of life and death" have been all the rage, but Hugo, the party involved in the incident, seems to have disappeared, just like what he said to the media, directly rejecting all The interview made the media very anxious, but fortunately, Hugo's two agents did not disappear, they still expressed their position on behalf of Hugo at the first time.
