Chapter 399: 399
"I am so lonely, but fortunately, I shaved my head and I am not worried. Maybe I will condemn all those who hear it, but I am not sure. I am so excited, I can't wait to meet you, but I don't care, I am so hungry and thirsty, but it's okay, my will is good."
The song of glory to death was only halfway through. When the song reached the second part, the mood of the whole song became clear. Although the lyrics were still very obscure, the crisis of collapse hidden behind the simple melody, walking on the wire rope, which could burst out at any time, instantly held the heart tightly, making the muscles all over their bodies tense immediately, and they stood in front of the cliff and shivered.
The meaningless inferiority and fearless self-deprecation were completely released in Hugo's voice, with an unparalleled impact. The combination of keyboard, guitar and bass was pushed to the extreme by the rhythm of the drum. The melody seemed to contain shocking energy that could tear the sky and rush out of the universe. It was fully released in this small square, which made all the people standing in the square fall into a dull state, and Hugo could only sing on the stage stupidly.
Then, the impact came towards us, "Yeah, Yeah!" This feeling was like an atomic bomb exploded in slow motion in front of me. The vivid air wave hit my cheeks, causing my muscles to start trembling constantly. Even if I wanted to grit my teeth, even if I wanted to clench my fists, even if I wanted to gain a foothold, it was just futile in the face of the huge energy of the music. The trembling from the depths of my soul made all efforts so ridiculous that I could only tremble with the music, and no one could be exceptional.
"I like it, I haven't collapsed yet! I miss you, I haven't collapsed yet! I love you, I haven't collapsed yet! I kill you, I haven't collapsed yet!"
The sound of the heart thumping sound was meaningless at this time. The drum beats replaced the position of the heart and became the pacemaker for everyone's life to continue. Every audience member of the scene entered the time of glory to death and became the most insignificant member of the magnificent melody, just like dust flying in the sun, which could only rhythm in the flow of the air, and then formed a huge airflow, like a tornado, destroying everything around it to the point of devastating.
The simple guitar string sound, strong drum beat impact, solid bass connection, and explosive and emotional live singing ignited the darkness deep in the hearts of every audience, the passion deep in the mind, the enthusiasm deep in the chest, and then completely released. There is no choice but to shout with the music!
Liam and Eli were really shocked at this time. They followed Glory to death and came to Memphis. They had heard the song "Lithium" countless times, but the shock was never as strong as today. The trembling that made people hold their breath uncontrollably made them cry like a reptile, crying with tears in their mouths, but they all knew that this was not the manifestation of the reptile, but the catharsis from the soul.
Samora was even more overwhelmed. He only really realized what explosion is today. After facing the radio commander who performed the fragile "recrew" that made people feel swallowed by darkness, Glory finally released such powerful explosive power on the song "Lithium", which increased the quality of the entire live performance to a higher level. Both bands have dedicated a top-notch classic performance, and the joy of the soul makes the world extremely beautiful.
Samora likes the radio commander. Even if he only listened to one song, he fell in love with this band with full personality and perfect live; but he prefers glory to death, and can even be said to be admiring, admiring, and longing, because he witnessed the growth of this band. Their live performance today can easily kill them any previous scene, whether it is the release of emotions or the control of melody, it has reached a new peak. This ability to perform on-the-spot and this ability to make rapid progress amazed Samora.
Samora suddenly wondered whether they would go to an unprecedented height on the road of music if they were given enough time to die, such as the Beatles, Michael Jackson. Even if they just thought about it in their minds, Samora could not control his tears. He began to cry like the little girl he despised the most, but Samora had no intention of wiping the tears. On the contrary, he roared with Hugo's voice that had begun to become hoarse, "I haven't collapsed yet!"
This is probably the so-called audio-visual feast.
First, I admired the interpretation of the radio commander's heartbreaking interpretation, and then listened to the vent that was so violent that it was enough to destroy everything. The ups and downs of emotions made every audience in the square lose their voice. Even if they wanted to shout, they were powerless, but the inner roar was unable to express it. In the end, they could only express their admiration with the craze of applause.
"Hulala..." When the performance of Glory to Death ended, the applause of the audience gathered in an instant, and the emotions that had suppressed for fourteen seconds were released at this moment. The overwhelming applause carried emotional catharsis, and drowned the entire square like a tsunami.
This is a memorable day for Memphis and Beal Street. The street showdown between radio commander and glory to death is bound to be the most special moment in this special year of 1993.
It is hard to imagine that there were only more than 200 people on the scene who experienced this historic moment, but the shock of these more than 200 people began to spread around with thunderous applause. The musical blood flowing in the bone marrow of the city of Memphis began to surge. With Bill Street as the center, people began to crowd towards the square one after another, just because the music coming from here called deep into their souls.
When Hugo finished his performance, he could feel the pleasure of his whole body. Not only did his understanding of the song and his reading of the performance go up to the next level, this was definitely a great improvement for him to stand in the lead singer; and the running-in of the entire band reached the perfect state for the first time just now. Looking back at his teammates, without exception, everyone had a smile of enjoyment on their faces.
It was a perfect show.
The five members of the team who were honored to death turned to the left at the same time. Five members of the Radio Commander Band, thirty yards away, also watched them. The eyes of both sides met in the air, which was a very delicate emotion. On the one hand, both sides admired each other's performance, which was a heartfelt admiration; on the other hand, both sides could also feel the tense competition, and both of them had a very high level of performance. This wonderful competitive mentality made the inner emotions begin to surge.
Although he was thirty yards apart, Hugo could only see a contour of Toms’ face, but he felt that Toms clearly smiled at him, then raised his chin, as if saying, "The first round is over, how about the second round?"
The two bands with almost the same configuration are both alternative rock styles, but the music performed by both sides is completely different. The mutual appreciation in their bones erupts out in unison, as if they have met a confidant, but also a competitor. This emotion makes people excited. More importantly, both sides can fully utilize their strength and show everything the band has, not for a single point, but for competition. As for how the audience judges victory or defeat, it doesn't matter.
So Hugo also ignored this distance, raised his chin slightly, curled his lips, as if saying, "What's wrong?"
Sure enough, I saw Thoms turn back and say something to his bandmates, and then the radio commander started the performance again.
On July 22, 1993, there was a showdown in William Christopher Handy Square on Billy Street that was talked about ten years later. The radio commander and glory died. These two bands, who were both unknown at the time, chose to perform on the streets in Memphis, the birthplace of rock. Both sides dedicated performances beyond their own standards, giving the audience a happy ending, and also kicking off the two bands' long music careers that made the classic.
There were more and more people in the square, and people passing by were spreading all the time. They felt that the people who came to the square to enjoy the long-lost music feast squeezed this small square out of nowhere. In a trance, people remembered the Beale Street Rock Music Festival (beale.street.c.festival) held here in early May every year. The glory of rock once again shines infinitely in the city of Memphis.
One hundred people, two hundred people... five hundred people... eight hundred people, more than eight hundred audiences surrounded the entire square, making people suspect that even an ant would be difficult to squeeze in. But even so, there were still many loyal rock fans heading towards this place from all directions in Memphis, filling the entire Bill Street, and the surrounding traffic was completely paralyzed.
People have forgotten how long it has been since Sam Phillips disbanded Sun Records in 1969 that the city of Memphis has not been so excited by rock. Today, that pure emotion echoes over Memphis again.
But this time, it was not because Nirvana Band came to Memphis to hold a concert, but because two fledgling bands stood on the square stage to show their purest love for music, and the sparks bursting out from their duels between them made the entire Bill Street regain the supreme glory that was thirty years ago.
This afternoon, accompanied by the reporter's reports, it gradually spread in major cities in the United States. The radio commander came to the United States from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean and toured to promote the single "Crouch". He took San Francisco as the starting point until his death, and sang along the way, and toured the streets across the United States. Such a story is too legendary and inspiring, and it shines in a different light under the reporter's pen.
