From an outsider's perspective, Grammy's approach is not surprising.

As the "Rolling Stone" and "Chicago Tribune" said, the status of new metal rock and grunge was recognized in the nomination stage. This year, the nomination for grunge was far more than any grand event in the past three years; then a grand session was arranged to mourn Cot Coburn. You should know that before this, the Grammy did not recognize the historical status of Cot and Nirvana, so the appearance of this session seemed to be unfounded; and the bands participating in such a grand event were all thorns. Except for Neil Young, the other four bands attended the Grammy for the first time.

Is this really good?

Grammys want to change and follow the trend, which is their usual practice, but when they implement it in practice, they always seem to be several beats slower, which has been criticized by people. Until 2014, it was not able to change the situation. This time, Grammys made so many changes at once, just like trying to eat a fat bamboo pole that is full of fat people, so it is naturally difficult to have effect.

Therefore, it is no surprise that the Grammy retreated again when it comes to an end.

But from the perspective of Glory to Death and other bands, it is simply a fraud to be a grand event like Grammys that is untrustworthy. If they are worried that the reform is too large, they should not conceive the stage of mourning Cote from the beginning. This is an annual event, and organizers have enough time to conceive each link, and there is no need to think about one thing or another.

They don’t know what happened within the Grammy, but the fact is that Grammy’s retreat at the last moment is not just a simple cancellation of a link, but also disappointed Honor to death. Grammy still did not have the determination to affirm rock. In 1993, it recreated the glory of rock in 1977, but it never received real recognition from the industry.

Hugo knew clearly that this was the last glory of rock. In the next twenty years, even if the rock masterpieces are frequent and even if the Grammys and rock collaborations are still quite large, no album can reach the height of Nirvana. The one that people mourn the most is Nirvana's last album, "MTV New York is not plugged in." This is really ironic, a regret, and a regression in the entire music industry.

Many times, only by standing at the node of time can we see the meaning of history clearly.

Grammy’s retreat today may be just a temporary adjustment, but in Hugo’s view, it was a turning point in the real decline of rock. After that, rock never truly entered the core position of the mainstream music market. R&B, pop, and countryside are the core of the core.

Hugo wants to change history, Hugo wants to save reality, but what should he do?

As Alfonso said, they had no way to turn around and leave and leave a bunch of messes. Escape can ignore the problem and cover it up, but it cannot solve the problem.

Perhaps, they can turn around and leave, no longer attend Grammys, no longer care about the attitudes and comments of mainstream music, nor will they take on the historical burden of reviving rock, they can immerse themselves in their musical world and enjoy it. But Hugo knew that this was not the rock they wanted.

Although Hugo does not think that the burden of reviving rock and changing the course of music history is related to him, Hugo knows that they can immerse themselves in their own musical world, but such rock will never be pure.

It was as if Cott Coburn brought grunge to the world, but the commercial attributes of mainstream music eroded, but after the artistic nature of the music, art and business formed a contradiction. The reason why the Nirvana band was able to shock the world was because their music reached its peak in art and had commercial attributes. But then Cott was surrounded and assimilated by commercial attributes, which made him almost unable to breathe. Cott did not find the right way to break free from this commercial attribute. Escape was not a solution, and giving up on himself was not the right choice. In the end, he ended his life.

Glory can turn around and leave until death, and choose to escape, but Hugo does not want to end himself like Cote.

Escape has never been Hugo's first choice.

Last year, Glory To Death expressed her musical proposition by refusing to attend the Grammy; this year, Glory To Death turned around and left not by sticking to himself, but by retreating without fighting. They have arrived at the Grammy, so they should declare to the world in their own way: This is Glory To Death, this is the new metal rock!

Deep down, Hugo also wanted to pay tribute to Cote Cobain in his own way, which was a genius who was jealous.

Looking at Pedro who was furious, Hugo didn't say anything. He turned his gaze to Fujin. Compared to the depression and anxiety of other teammates, Fujin seemed to be thinking about something at this time. Seeing Hugo's gaze, Fujin raised his eyes, met him, and asked, "What?"

"No, I'm just a little disappointed with the Grammy." Hugo didn't clarify a way of thinking at this time, just said casually.

Fujin shrugged slightly, "Even if it is authoritative, it will only organize an award ceremony one after another." Even machines may make mistakes, let alone people? As long as everything that is human-involved, there may be accidents and deviations. Large award ceremony such as Grammys and Oscars are no exception. Putting aside the bias of awards, there are countless mistakes in award ceremony.

Fu Jin's words were originally just a matter of fact, but after Hugo slightly pointed his chin, an idea popped up in his mind. He subconsciously said, "Maybe things can still be solved..." But after he finished speaking, he was silent again, trying to sort out the ideas in his mind.

But the four teammates who had been honored to death all turned their eyes to Hugo, staring at Hugo with concern and anxiety. When Hugo raised his head, he saw these four pairs of shining eyes and couldn't help but brighten his heavy mood and chuckled, "I didn't say this is possible, but maybe we can try it."

When Fu Jin heard Hugo's words, he suddenly interrupted half of the sentence, "Can it be..." but stopped again, signaling that Hugo would continue to say it. Hugo looked at Fu Jin, and the two of them exchanged glances. They actually understood each other's meaning. Obviously, the two of them thought about it together, which made Fu Jin's eyes flash with a hint of joking, and they seemed a little excited.

Looking at Hugo and Fujin, Neil, who was standing beside him, seemed to have caught something, and he couldn't help but lower his eyes and thought. But Pedro couldn't bear it and shouted urgently, "What? What? Say it! Hey! Hugo Lancaster!" As soon as he became anxious, he lost his sense of restraint.

Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I mean, how much time did the Grammy give us?" Pedro was about to say, "Isn't the whole show cancelled?", but Hugo stopped him, "I mean, the time of our band."

Although the mourning of Cote Coburn was cancelled, Grammys also made relatively compensation. Sound Garden, Glory To Death and Nine Inch Nails all arranged performance time. There was no news about Pearl Jam for the time being, but Hugo speculated that if Grammy wanted Pearl Jam to attend the awards ceremony, the performance time would definitely be given, it just depends on how to arrange it.

Among these bands, Glory To Death is obviously the most valued otherwise the Grammy would not have given them seven nominations. Therefore, Glory To Death has eight minutes of performance, and can perform three shortened versions of the song, or two complete songs.

However, since Glory just got the news until his death, they had not had time to discuss how to perform and which songs to perform. But now, Hugo has a new idea.

"We performed two songs, 'one.step.clo' and 'wonderwall'. During the rehearsal, we told Grammy that we would perform the full version of these two songs. But after we went back, we practiced ourselves and inserted the full version of the performance of 'Youth' in the middle of the two songs. How about it?"

Hugo said while conceiving, and then expressed his thoughts.

In an instant, Pedro and Alfonso had a very wonderful expression, and it was obvious that both of them were shocked by Hugo.

Nirvana's "Youthful Spirit" is undoubtedly the best of their representative works. The complete version of this song is 5 minutes and 41 seconds, which is almost two-thirds of the performance time of glory to death. Of course, even Nirvana itself performs in many public occasions in more than three minutes and 40 seconds, and this version of glory to death is enough.

But the point is that Hugo's idea is really shocking. This is not just a matter of sacrificing his band's performance time to sing another band's classic songs. Of course, this is also the key point. No band would be so "stupid"; at the same time, glory to death is contrary to the idea of ​​the organizing committee, and the rock spirit is vividly expressed in the live broadcast across the United States.

"Since the Grammy teased us, why can't we tease them? We can perform in our way. As long as the performance is wonderful, they have no reason to refuse, right?" Neil had actually expected that when Hugo said it, he suddenly realized that he was not nervous, but was a little excited. The blood that had just cooled down boiled again.

Fu Jin also looked eager to try it out, and he felt even more excited than performing a song that was glorious to death.

Pedro, who had reacted, almost screamed. He stood there and kept tiptoing, jumping anxiously, muttering, "Really? Really? Really?"

Alfonso's smile paused, then it bloomed, and his eyes were looking at Hugo with anticipation, "Would we go and talk to Dave Groll or... other members of the Nirvana band?" If it was singing Nirvana band songs, the band's consent must be obtained.

Hugo shrugged, "I don't think, look at our performances at that time. If they are satisfied, maybe they won't charge us the copyright fee."
