Chapter 946 946 The Beginning of the Feast

A black plastic raincoat with a bulldog with a bauhinia crown in its mouth is printed on the back, and directly below it is the striking slogan "D.O.G is coming back."

If it is just one person, then it is maverick and inconspicuous at all; if it is twenty people, then it is the spontaneous action of a small group, which is not uncommon in the corner of the city; but if it is a hundred or two hundred people , then this can definitely be called an organized and disciplined "terrorist activity", if it weren't for the bulldog with the "D.O.G" slogan, it couldn't be clearer, just afraid of the police. Cha is about to riot.

Obviously, this is a special event for fans to welcome the return of Glory to the Dead. There is no official organization for this kind of spontaneous fan event, but the loyal fans express their welcome to Glory to the Dead with their own actual events. The frenzy of Dead's second album has grown steadily.

Liam Pinkman, Eli Casvey, Joshua Cranston, Sally Henson and others came to the end of the "Road to Glory" tour in preparation for their second album I started to plan this special event, so when the news of EMI was announced on August 21st, the major cities began to have activities.

In fact, whether it is 200 people in New York and Los Angeles, or 300 people in the next four cities, they are not large in terms of scale. At present, these six cities are all prosperous residential centers with a population of more than 3 million. , In these cities, it is not surprising that there are two or three hundred people on the streets.

But the focus is not on the number of people, but on the scale and effect of the event. The first day is the largest city on both sides of the east and west banks, and the second day is the big cities on the east bank, west bank, south-central, and north-central. The coverage area of ​​the entire event is In the gradual progress, these cities form a fulcrum, and the influence of fan activities first ferments within the city, and then begins to radiate from this center, and finally expands the scope of influence endlessly.

From this perspective, you can deeply feel the mighty momentum of this event.

The news that "D.O.G is coming back" slowly bloomed on the map of North America, and along with the image of the bulldog, the tide of glory to death was about to return to its peak.

EMI is already laughing like a flower, and it doesn't require any publicity expenses from the company. The actions of the fans have already sparked a heated discussion, especially when major cities know that each other is also doing this kind of activities. The excitement rose uncontrollably. This is the most successful marketing method for the publicity department of EMI Records.

On August 24th, ten cities including Philadelphia, San Francisco, San Antonio, Detroit, Indianapolis, Boston, Washington, Denver, Portland and Las Vegas once again set off a climax of activities. At least 500 fans gathered in this city, and the black plastic raincoats even had a strong cult color. Everyone stood together and became the absolute focus of the major cities!

It is worth mentioning that the population of these ten cities is all five million, and the activities are held in the most prosperous downtown of the city, which has become the most interesting topic of discussion in each city that day.

In fact, for many conservative people, or people who hate to die with glory, they will regard this kind of behavior as a religious ceremony with an evil color and a strong incitement color. This is an behavior that must be condemned, especially those who are famous for being conservative In the states of Utah and Ohio, the events have drawn strong criticism from local religious figures that they have a dire effect on teens.

This is not uncommon, because at the time conservatives accused rock of being a "depraved filth" and believed that everything about rock was poisonous. Goods, prostitution. filth, abuse. Negative words such as alcohol, brutality, and even exaggerated conservatives believe that rock vinyl records are used to convey greatness. Hemp medium. Now their accusations of Glory to Death are nothing but a drizzle.

But what is strange is that the controversy caused by Glory to Death has extended from the pure rock area to the social level, and conservatives have also come forward to accuse Glory to Death for the first time. This is the direct evidence of the further expansion of Glory to Death's influence.

But compared to conservatives, the blood of those who like to die with glory has already started to boil, and they can't wait to join the feast, not only to be part of this feast, but also to use their own Body and spirit form part of this feast, bringing it to its climax.

This kind of fanatical attitude makes those who are not interested in music also look sideways. No matter what the attitude is, at least everyone will want to listen to what the second album of Glory to Death is all about!

The entire North American market came to August 25 amid such turmoil and collision. In the early morning of this day, a stage was set up in the city center of 24 cities in the United States. There were more than 800 people gathered in front of the stage. The crowd, all dressed in black plastic raincoats, crowded together, making the empty stage look full of infinite expectations.

The most grand is Los Angeles and New York. Nearly 3,000 fans gathered in Washington Square in New York, decorating the whole square with a lot of noise, like a grand parade on St. Patrick's Day, and young people from nearby flocked out; The Union Bank Plaza in Los Angeles was occupied by nearly 4,000 fans. The surging sea of ​​people made the scene look like white waves sparkling with crystal light under the sun.

There are twenty-four stages in twenty-four cities. Obviously, it is impossible for them to appear on every stage because they don't have clones. However, there is a big screen on the twenty-four stages. At this time, the big screen shows It was the lively scene in front of their own city stage, and the fans kept jumping and waving at the camera, admiring their appearance on the big screen.

At a quarter past nine, the scene on the big screen suddenly changed, and the fans were stunned for a while. They could see that the big screen was still crowded with people in front of the stage, but it was obviously not their own image, and they paused for a while. Yes, everyone will understand: what appears on the big screen in front of you is the scene of other different cities!

Fans in different cities are separated by wide mountains, rivers and plains, but at this time they see the scene of another city through the big screen, which immediately makes everyone excited, and the noise of the scene is on again in an instant. Going up a step, the fans in Seattle greeted Miami, the fans in San Francisco connected with Chicago, but the fans in Nashville saw the cowboys in Houston. This wonderful scene made everyone shout and cheer.

At this time, the fans also understood that the 24 stages rely on the superb technology of live broadcast to connect everyone together. Today, nearly 40,000 audiences in these 24 cities will join hands to witness the glory. To the death of the second album released grand occasion.

This is the prelude to the feast carefully planned by EMI Records for the glory of death. Almost as soon as the truth was revealed, it was greeted by everyone. Even passers-by who didn't care about gathered here one after another, making the scene a little hotter. A little push to the top.

The one in charge of broadcasting today is Fox TV. Their cooperation with EMI is actually a joke in the industry, because no TV station will broadcast the release ceremony of a rock band's new album, let alone those who have just debuted for less than a year. Glory to death, but Fox, which started out as a news program and was just beginning to rise in the early 1990s, boldly seized the opportunity.

Facts have also proved that this decision of Fox Television is extremely correct.

At 9:25, the stage scene in Los Angeles was the first to start moving. The fans at the scene began to applaud and jump. The sound of two applause and one jump formed the rhythm of "bang bang bang". Neat and discordant, but as everyone gradually found the rhythm, all the sounds fit together and began to burst out with amazing energy.

There was no screaming, no shouting, and no madness, but the simplest applause and jumping showed the fanaticism of the fans vividly and vividly. Looking at the surging waves of more than 4,000 people in Union Bank Plaza, this is the case. The shocking force of the scene rushed to the face, making everyone stunned.

Then came New York, and the live fans also began to step on the same rhythm, "bang bang bang", they responded to Los Angeles through the big screen, although the frequency seemed a little disordered due to the time delay of the broadcast, but the pure sound constituted The momentum was growing little by little. Then Seattle, then Miami, then Chicago...

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang!" When fans in all twenty-four cities began to jump and applaud, the difference caused by the delay in the broadcast was bizarrely smoothed out, and everyone applauded attentively. Jumping and jumping, no one spoke, and the number of people was not large. From a separate perspective, the largest number of people in Los Angeles was only more than 4,000. When they got together, they shook the sky, shaking the camera violently, and shaking the whole world.

This is the simplest melody, but it is also the most real melody from the bottom of my heart. It is only three sounds, but it outlines the fanaticism of the fans in the most direct, profound and shocking way, just like the magnificence and grandeur of the rising sun. .

"Bang bang bang!" Fugin appeared first on the stage, then Pedro, then Alfonso, then Neil, and finally Hugo! The members of the Glory To Death band came on stage in the rhythm that formed a powerful and shocking sound. The applause and jumping suddenly stopped, and then erupted into a frantic scream, "Ah..." The turbulent sound wave made the twenty The screens of the four stages began to tremble.

The feast has just begun!
