From the fifth floor to the fourth floor, there was another different scene. This place was obviously a place for band rehearsals, practices, and recordings. In each classroom, you can vaguely see the scene inside through the glass matte door. Roger pushed open the door of a practice room next to him and took the lead in walking in, with Henry following him.

When you walk into the practice room, you can clearly see the silver-gray soundproof walls in the milky yellow light. In addition to the glass door, there is also a thick wooden door at the door. Obviously, absolutely complete soundproofing measures have been made. The practice room is placed with all the instruments that the band needs to use, and on the other side there are Western musical instruments similar to horns and violins on the shelves. The ground is full of black connection lines, and there is a sense of randomness in the mess. You can feel the traces of frequent use here. Compared to the temporary practice room established by the warehouse behind the Al Bar, Glory to death, this is simply paradise.

Roger walked to the sofa opposite the band and sat down. Henry seemed to be exhausted, and then immediately found a seat next to Roger. Henry waved his hand impatiently, "Now it's your time for performance. Use all your skills to convince the old guy next to me. If he is not satisfied, I will knock his head with a guitar." Henry's words made everyone in the practice room chuckled.

Roger didn't have time to have these quarrels with Henry. After he sat down, he blatantly looked at the band's movements. He even deliberately restrained his smile and looked at the band's preparations with a picky and strict look. Roger was deliberately putting pressure on the band. The New York Times boasted so much before, and the conversation in the fifth floor office just now, Roger was clearly saying: I have high expectations for you.

People all know that it is not easy to win high praise under high expectations. If you are not careful, you will lose the blame. What's more, band performances are an important factor in on-the-spot performance.

The band members were originally curiously looking at the dazzling array of equipment in the practice room. After hearing Henry's words, they had to withdraw their attention and start looking for instruments that they could use. Compared to the practice room, the next audition is the focus.

Roger's eyes were not covered up, and everyone could feel the kind of gaze that was on the back, but the band members seemed to not notice it. However, Alfonso looked at his teammates with uncertainty. He was very excited when he saw the bold Pedro, and then saw the concentrated expressions of Neil and Fojin, and then saw the gaze that Hugo was cast. Hugo's gaze was full of infinite confidence, and there was a smile on his lips.

Alfonso soon realized that they had performed nearly two hundred shows along the way. If the performances on the streets of Los Angeles were added, the number would definitely exceed two hundred. They were not a fledgling band. They had experienced tests of all sizes. Today's performance could not be considered a test at all, because the most picky audience in the world is not Roger Fasson or Henry Bloom, but ordinary audiences.

So, Alfonso's impatient mood settled down, and like his teammates, he began to focus on debugging his instruments. For a moment, Roger and Henry became spectators, as if they did not exist at all. The band members were not in a hurry, but patiently and carefully adjusted their instruments. If they wanted to do a good job, they must first sharpen their instruments. This is the reason.

Hugo was also highly focused at this time. He knew that in such occasions, the band often had only one opportunity to perform, that is, one song, and the best situation would never exceed three songs. After all, this is an audition, an occasion to observe the band's potential and strength, not a performance scene. So there is no time to warm up until the glory dies, only a chance to have one song!

The band chose "don't be upset about the past (don't.look.back.in.anger)" not because of the quality or arrangement of the song, but because it was this song that brought Fujin and Alfonso to the band. This song has special significance to the band and is also the song that the band members can resonate with the most.

When the calm keys sounded and cut into the main song, Roger's pupils shrank slightly. Although he had heard Henry say that the band was unique in style, the keyboardist actually occupied such an important position, which surprised Roger.

"Your eyes are bored because you can no longer find the place where you can realize your dreams. When you say you give up, all the efforts you put in for you will disappear without a trace."

Hugo's singing echoed in the practice room, gently plucking Roger's heartstrings. Because the sound insulation effect in the practice room is very good, the sound of the instrument is easily amplified, but because human voices cannot be compared with the resonance of the instruments, especially because the instruments of the entire band resonate together, the singer's voice is easily overwhelmed by music.

But the performance at this time did not feel this way. The band members used their priorities to control the volume of the music and did not completely let go of their hands to perform. Although this seemed to bind the band's hands and feet, it unexpectedly made the music have an energy hidden in the melody and ready to move, as if they could find a catharsis outlet at any time.

Hugo's interpretation made people even more eye-catching. He stood there and sang freely. He looked like he didn't use any strength on his face, but his voice freely shuttled through the melody, integrating the power of the lyrics into the melody, making the entire band one, and that delicate emotion flowed out quietly. Perhaps the audience did not hear the lyrics clearly at all, but the whole emotion was unconsciously dragged into the world of songs.

"So, I will start a revolution from the bed, for you say that my thoughts have penetrated my mind, and outside the door is the midsummer is blooming. When standing by the stove, the flames reflect your face red, and the hope in your heart is like the flames burning."

Hugo's voice began to slowly increase, and the sincere emotion was like a flash of cereal, blooming slowly in front of Roger. The wonderful beauty made Roger lose all his language. At this moment, Henry, who was sitting next to him, restrained all his breath, as if he had disappeared, sitting quietly in place, the lazy feeling gradually spread out, but when he looked at Henry's eyes carefully, he could clearly feel that the focusless eyes had fallen into deep memories. In Hugo's interpretation, his emotions were like the black and white keys on the keyboard, ding dong.

At this moment, Hugo's voice slowly rose to a critical point, and then released with the melody, "So Sally can wait..." The emotions brewed by the entire band suddenly exploded at this moment, especially the "So", the sound of "Sally" exploded like thunder, igniting the heart, and all emotions filled the brain like this, and in an instant, my mind went blank. "She knew that even if your awakening was too late, even if you were abandoned by everyone, her youth gradually withered, but I remember you said, don't be upset about the past. At least not today."

Roger was amazed, and he had to be amazed that such a band that had always been full of magical powers. Whether it was adding keyboards, using guitars and bass, the band was incompatible with the current trend. The simple chords did not lose the charm of the guitar, but instead filled the music with a surging passion. If the colorful light spots were gradually blurred in sight.

The band's lyrics are full of infinite possibilities. The simple sentence "Don't be upset about the past" has aroused countless reverie among people. The band's rebellion, ostentatiousness, determination and wantonness are hidden in the melody, released through Hugo's warm voice, and unknowingly they make people indulge in it.

When the song was over, Roger still did not come out of the music. He just realized that the world had quieted down. The itchy feeling in his heart made him slightly adjust his sitting position and coughed lightly, "Do you have other tracks?"

"Of course." The answer was Hugo. Hugo looked back at his teammates and began to perform the second song, "Second chance (color cond. chance)". This song has a subtle difference in style from the first song. The whole song is more rough and powerful, and the emotional catharsis is like a water column hitting the center directly.

The overall style of the first song is rough and dark, and it also has a Beatles-like lyricism, which looks very similar to a band from the British native; the second song is actually relatively rough, but it is more rock-heavy. The hardcore style with a strong impact shows Hugo's high-span range.

In fact, the first song is more delicate, and shock comes from the soul; the second song is more rough, and shock comes directly at the eardrum. But overall, it can be regarded as alternative rock, with concise and clear guitar chords that increase the use of the keyboard. The lead singer's singing is not fancy, but more relying on hard power to interpret the songs.

This style has a distinct form of distinctiveness from the current popular rock around the world, but it is full of infinite possibilities. The most important thing is that the overall strength of the band is very harmonious, and the cooperation of the five links makes people unable to see the flaws.

In fact, Roger realized that when the first song was just started to be played, the rhythm and melody were a bit out of touch, and the cooperation between bass and drums also showed a little deviation. The bassist was one-quarter beat, which was obviously the most common manifestation of excessive excitement, but the band quickly adjusted, and their complementarity was responded to during the performance.

Roger knew that this kind of tacit understanding would never be able to be done without one or two hundred performances, and this perseverance of perseverance is indeed admirable.

In addition, the potential of the band also made Roger's eyes shine. What Roger needs is a band like Glory to Death. Now there are countless followers of Nirvana in the entire rock music market. It seems that everyone is a replica of Nirvana, but no one can surpass Cott Copper. It is like after the Beatles achieved the classic, there are countless bands that want to copy the Beatles. Even the local British media like to say that "a certain band has the hope of becoming the successor of the Beatles", but it will never be possible.

Therefore, Roger saw possibilities in glory to death. They followed the advantages of the band of their predecessors and did not deny them. For example, the first song had the shadow of the Beatles, and the second song could also see the advantages of the current mainstream heavy metal rock; but they bravely broke the convention and interpreted their own style. This possibility, coupled with the band's own strength, is full of infinite possibilities.
