At this time, Jojo's voice on the radio was asking the hottest topics in recent times. "Your album 'almost famous' has caused heated discussions. Some people think that your music has insulted rock. Your innovation is a devastating blow to rock. At the same time, some people think that your music is a brave and successful attempt, and you have injected new vitality into rock. What do your band think about this?"

Hearing this question, the band members looked at Hugo. Hugo did not refuse and said directly, "When it comes to this question, I want to talk about the name of our album first." This question is also the most mentioned topic during the band's promotion process. There are positive breakthroughs and indirect comments. Hugo has tried different answers several times before, but he always feels that everyone's understanding is still wrong, so today he plans to answer it from another perspective.

"'Almost famous', in fact, literally, it is to stand at the threshold of being about to become famous. Maybe it's still the last step, but no one can know how much time this step takes. Maybe someone will stop here for the rest of his life, but maybe someone will just take a step and take it, and no one knows." Hugo explained the origin of the album's name in detail, which made Qiao Qiao nod slightly, and sometimes showed a look of enlightenment on her face. "Standing in this position, all success seems to be within reach, but it seems that she will never be able to achieve it. This feeling can easily make people lose, make people simply desire success, and even be willing to give everything to take this step, but they did not notice that they have forgotten the purpose of the initial beginning."

"Compared to simple success, standing in front of success is one step away from success, it is easy to make people confused and unable to find themselves. Of course, the light of success is also easy to make people arrogant, but when success is closest to success, the rapid and rapid heartbeat is incomparable to other moments." Hugo's explanation silenced the studio. Although the members of the band Glory to Death have long known the origin of the allusion of "almost famous", they will have more feelings every time they listen. When Qiao Qiao heard it for the first time, the shock was hard to describe in words.

"It's like at the last moment of the basketball game, the score difference between the two sides is only one point. The buzzer-beating shot behind the side draws an arc in the air. If you shoot in, you win, and if you fail, you won. Watching the basketball slide through the arc in the air, it's obviously just a moment, but you feel like you're almost vomiting your heart. This blurred state that is close to success but uncertain makes people often focus on the present and forget everything else."

"Wow, this explanation really makes all languages ​​lose their color." Qiao Qiao sighed. This is not only Jo Qiao's feeling, but also the feelings of most listeners in front of the radio.

Hugo used the most direct example to explain the state of "almost famous", and in an instant, people understood that kind of psychology. Even though they knew success was within reach, that kind of earnestness would really make people forget themselves. If they passed by success, the confusion would be even more surging.

Hugo chuckled softly, "In fact, the reason why I mentioned the meaning behind 'almost famous' is the answer to your question just now."

"How to say it?" Qiao Qiao seemed a little confused. What is the direct connection between "almost famous" and the recent heated discussion caused by glory to death.

Hugo didn't pause, and then explained, "I think anyone who loves music will know the Beatles, Michael Jackson, whether you like their music or not, the fact is that their music has changed the direction of history. But the question is, if the Beatles and Michael Jackson know that they can change history, will they still maintain their passionate attitude of loving music and pouring all their passion into music?"

"If Elvis Presley knew that he could change history, could he still sing so many wonderful repertoire? If the Beatles knew that they could be famous in history, could they still keep the purity of their music? If Nirvana had long known that he had changed the direction of the rock trend, would Cott Coben's rebelliousness shine like now?" Hugo's series of questions left Qiao Qiao speechless. Even as a radio host, timely reaction speed was one of the essential skills, but at this time, when facing Hugo's question, Qiao Qiao could not find any words to answer.

"Of course, I don't know, because none of these things happened, but for our band, if we keep paying attention to whether our music can change history and whether our music has created a new genre, then our music will lose its original purity. Perhaps these issues do not need to be discussed at all, and we will perish ourselves." Hugo joked with a smile, which made Pedro and Alfonso laugh, but Jojo sitting next to him did not have any smile.

Qiao Qiao absolutely did not expect that Hugo would respond to the recent debate in this way.

"Actually, it's just like 'almost famous'. We launched a kind of music that is incompatible with the current trend. We broke the constraints of the current mainstream rock and made our own music. This is bound to conflict with the mainstream. We stand on the threshold of changing history, and success is within reach. But if we focus all our attention on the topic of 'successfully changing the course of music history', it will also make us lose ourselves and eventually forget our idea of ​​making the album "almost famous" and our original intention of forming a band. Then, our music will eventually lose its original charm."

Qiao Qiao did not speak, but Hugo did not pause. Instead, he kept talking, which calmed the audience in front of the radio, and all the disputes and arguments stopped. Everyone just listened to Hugo's words quietly.

"So, now everyone is discussing whether our music is an insult or a change to rock. I don't think this is a question that our band needs to discuss, because it is not our original intention." Hugo said with a smile, looking at his teammates, "We just wanted to make the music we like, just to create more diverse and colorful music. As for whether it can change the trend and history of rock, I believe time will give an answer, maybe, maybe not." After Hugo said that, he looked at Qiao Qiao and said with a smile, "Even if our band does not respond, the discussion is lively enough now, isn't it?"

Qiao Qiao finally realized this time, and he also understood what Hugo meant. In the final analysis, these discussions did not care about the band. Glory to death was a band that loved music. Their music insulted rock or changed rock. This was not important, what was important was their enthusiasm for music.

"Of course, of course." Qiao Qiao nodded repeatedly to express her affirmation, and then couldn't help but smile, "I think, maybe ten years later, we will have more feelings when we come back to see these discussions today. Because these discussions themselves come from listeners who truly love music. Whether these opinions are positive or negative, their heart that loves music is the same."

"Yes, that's the reason." Neil nodded, and Hugo's baton expressed his approval, "So in fact, everyone is willing to discuss our music, and this is something that deserves our happiness. Just like everyone, we are just people who love rock. In recent discussions, we are naturally the group of people who love band music. Apart from that, there is no difference and no special opinion."

"That's natural." Jojo laughed, "But I'm curious, glory has injected many bold attempts and innovations into rock until death. How did these ideas come about at the beginning?"

The band members looked at Hugo again, but Hugo waved his hand with a smile, "You shouldn't look at me, actually the initial inspiration came from Pepe."

"I? Are you sure you are talking about me? Why don't I have any impression of myself?" Pedro said in a shocked look, but Neil and Fujin understood.

"Hugo, are you talking about Rock Night when we gathered to discuss the importance of bass and guitar to the band?" Neil asked proof.

"Yes, that night, I also created the song "kill.heroes" at that time." Hugo nodded, and Pedro also recalled, showing a sudden realization. "That night, Pepe and Foggin's views had a little conflict. I think rock music that abandoned guitar also existed, but they obviously didn't believe it. In order to convince them, I played it myself."

"Then he killed the whole audience in seconds." Pedro said, which made Neil, Fojin and others smile silently, but Pedro did not notice it. Then he continued, "You don't believe that Hugo played the 'kill hero' with a keyboard and a snare drum that day. The shock he brought to us at that time was really indescribable. From that moment on, I couldn't help but start thinking: Are our thoughts bound and can rock roll have more forms of expression."

"Yes, I also started to have this idea since then. The essence of rock lies in freedom, change, and breakthrough. It is hard for me to imagine that rock wings can be called rock. So, I gave rock a more colorful charm, which gave the band glory to death." Hugo made a simple summary, but Jojo sighed.
