Chapter 397

It was a five-member band, and what caught the attention of the Glory To Death in an instant: They were also equipped with a keyboard player, which immediately made Alfonso "excited" and stood on the "Hugo Keyboard". Pedro next to him has a different perspective, "They are the same as us, I don't know how their music is."

In today's rock genres, bands equipped with keyboard players are collectively referred to as "alternative rock". Simply put, it is different from mainstream music and indie music. The difference between indie rock and alternative rock lies in , The former emphasizes the scale of the issuance of the label, the latter emphasizes the scale of the audience. Therefore, it is actually a niche music that is not affected by the mainstream. The weakness of keyboard players in today's popularity is evident.

Alternative rock is generally considered to have originated from the fast-rolling band r. e.m band), has been carried forward in the Nirvana band. But as Nirvana bands become mainstream, their music is more called grunge rock, and alternative rock that is different from the mainstream has locked in a smaller range of bands. In the long history, the band has always been an alternative rock band. The most representative of the'sex' are the radio commander (), the muse (muse) and the'jingling' band ().

The Muse has been waiting for the rise of the new metal rock'wave' in 1997; the'Jing' spirit band was established in 1985, but disbanded at the beginning of this year, ending their short but far-reaching music career. Existence has an indelible influence on Nirvana. Therefore, among the many alternative rock bands, the Radio Commander band, established in 1992 and famous in 1993, is the most representative alternative rock band in the first half of the 1990s. Of course, it will remain the same for the next two decades. It is the most representative of'sex'.

On the Memphis stage, it was a huge surprise to be able to see an alternative rock band with a keyboard player, but Hugo would not be surprised, because 1993 was the year when countless rock stars shined. So he couldn't wait to cast his gaze towards the next stage, and looked carefully.

The thin man standing at the forefront of the stage with a guitar on his back, although he could not see his facial features due to the distance, his weakened shoulders, sharp short hair and sloppy beard reminded Hugo of a lead singer of a band, in order to confirm his own. Thought, Hugo turned his attention to the keyboard player and guitarist who was closer to him. It was Johnny Greenwood ('female'. Greenas.), the official radio commander of the band.

In fact, when it was confirmed that it was the radio commander, Hugo's first reaction was quite unexpected, because the radio commander, which is known as one of the greatest contemporary rock bands, is from Oxford, England, although Hugo doesn't remember very much. He knew exactly when the Radio Commander's first album was released this year, but he was pretty sure that the album was released in the UK.

British rock bands are on a strong upward trend at this time, but most of their development trajectories are in the British Isles. Generally, they don't pay much attention to the American market on the other side of the Atlantic, but wait until they have achieved certain results in the motherland. Go to the United States for further development. So it was really unexpected to see the radio commander band at this time.

"They are also the band on tour" Pedro's voice rushed into Hugo's ears, and then everyone looked up, and saw a huge poster on the front side of the stage that said "Popularity is dead." (.Is.dead) Tour, Radio Commander, July 24th, 20 o'clock, Tom Lee Park" and other trivial words, Pedro then eagerly stepped forward, "I'll go and see. "

"How about it, is it a band you've heard of?" Neal turned his head and looked at Hugo at the first reaction.

The members of the band were amazed by the extensive and rich knowledge of Hugo's music, as if he knew that Alfonso's music came from the Dream Theater band. Hugo's mind is like a sea of ​​music, unfathomable. , But after too many exclamations, they are not surprised. Instead, they regard Hugo as a museum, and they are used to asking Hugo'sexually' about everything.

Hugo's knowledge about music and movies is indeed very rich. The knowledge accumulated in his ten years of rock and roll career is deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul. Even if he can't remember the details, the general direction is still impressive. For the radio commander band, how could Hugo not understand? This alternative rock band can definitely be regarded as one of the most classic bands. Their album "Children. a released in 201 is still Hugo's beloved. First, this is also the rock band that is hailed as the closest to the Beatles by the British media, showing their extensive influence.

Hugo looked at the poster of the "Popular Is Dead" tour, and was still thinking about the details of why the radio commander appeared in the United States at this time. He didn't remember the details so clearly, but he still answered, "Out The amazing strength of the'Lose' band comes from Oxford, England. The music style is anxious, sensitive, and beautiful. The salvation in the heavy depression is incredible."

Hugo's affirmation made Fugin, Neil and Alfonso all look at the radio commander band who was preparing to perform again. Hugo is very real. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you will never say anything. With such a high evaluation from Hugo, it can be seen that this band is very'colorful'.

At this moment, Pedro went back and forth, "Wow, wow, this is a band that has made an album, the band of British EMI Records, they came to the United States for a tour this time. I heard that their singles have achieved good results, and they are about to do a warm-up performance for the concert of Tears of Fear."

After Pedro's reminder, Hugo finally remembered that the most famous song on the Radio Commander's first album is "creep". This song can even be called a divine comedy, "creep". "The translation of this word in everyone's mind is also different, in short, it is a group that is incompatible with society.

The song "Reptile" is one of the early representative songs of the radio commander. A fragile heart cannot bear the burden of feelings. All psychological defenses are destroyed amidst the roar of the guitar. The tight drums and heavy bass run through, clearly. The guitar chords echoed with the high-pitched and wild distorted colorful'crossing'. The whole song gave people no time to think, no chance to breathe. The missed'wave' directly drowned the audience, and the last piano was even more affected. Called the finishing touch, the holy silver'color' and the lingering resentment made tears'rippling' in the eyes, but they could not fall.

In fact, this song is far less artistic than the work of the radio commander after the later style matured. The over-simplified song design also allowed the band members to play the song in live performances, but the reason why this song is famous It is a divine comedy, because of the deeply rooted emotional catharsis of "reptiles" that made the radio commander famous in one fell swoop, and also restricted the band's image in the hearts of the fans. Even many fans who don't know the radio commander mentioned this band. I only know one "reptile".

In fact, the album at the peak of the radio commander should be the 1997 "ckputer", not the "crawler".

However, when "Reptile" came out in 1993, it surprised the entire United States. This song did not receive enough attention in the United Kingdom. EMI did not give the radio commander enough support, but then the radio commander toured Europe. During the performance, the song "Reptile" achieved good results in the United States. After the negotiation and decision of the International Department of EMI Records, the radio commander came to the United States for a "pop is dead" tour, which became famous all over the world and became famous in one fell swoop.

No wonder Hugo feels that the name of the tour "Pop is Dead" is very familiar. This name is not only a song in the third single of the radio commander, but also the name of their first tour in the United States.

Pedro was still saying excitedly, "They came here to perform today, just to warm up the day after tomorrow's tour, but also to feel the musical atmosphere of the streets of Memphis." However, he found that his remarks did not seem to make his teammates. Too excited, he quickly understood, "Hugo knows this band?" Alfonso nodded in reply, and Pedro immediately showed an expression of "I knew it". But he didn't mind too much, and then he geared up and said, "Well, do you want to be on the stage and compete with them?"

"Competition?" Alfonso didn't wait to ask why, he was already flexing his hands and feet.

"Of course, why don't you guys want to?" Pedro didn't wait for others to answer, so he walked onto the empty stage with his bass, began to patrol his territory, and then looked at it with equal eyes, "They are already The band that released the album and has keyboard players like us, don't you want to see the most direct and true reaction of the audience to our two bands?"

Pedro's powerful self-confidence can be clearly heard in Pedro's voice. The simple words of UU Reading www.uukānshu.com also made the other members of the Glory To Death band burn vigorous fighting spirit. For any rock band, it is exciting to have a positive'sexual' competition with its peers, especially for a band that is determined to open up a path of its own musical style like Glory to Death, it will have to run into another one. It is very difficult for bands with the same equipment to compete on the same field. During this period of time, they have been singing and singing all the way from glory to death, how much progress they have made and how many shortcomings they have. This requires not only the test of the audience, but also the comparison of peers. Therefore, it is not surprising that Pedro can't wait.

Alfonso carried his keyboard on his back and rushed up without saying a word, and then Neil and Fogin didn't hesitate anymore. They didn't find a manager and went directly on the stage. Hugo was the only one standing under the stage. He looked at the radio commander who had finished preparing for the performance not far away. His inner pride began to surge. In the golden age of rock and roll, he was about to become one of them, whether he was a hero or a hero. Bear, maybe it started in Memphis, maybe it started with the same show with the radio commander
