Chapter 551 551 Neutral fans

In fact, if the news media were willing to calm down, there was almost no evidence that could be finalized in the Michael Jackson incident. The only evidence that could make the case established was the testimony of the party Jordan Chandler. Apart from that, everything else was just a hype made by the media.

Now, there seems to be something wrong with the testimony of Jordan Chandler. Hugo's response to Evan Chandler that day was obviously meaningful. This not only made Evan's inconsistency, but also made some media start to think about what Hugo said: Thirteen-year-old Jordan will be affected by his father to a large extent. So is there something tricky about it? And the sensitive Amitol!

In an instant, Michael Jackson's case entered a new stage. The cases that originally seemed "for sure" now have many loopholes, and people are beginning to pay attention to the truth of the matter.

Hugo's remarks on Kiis Radio and Al Bar not only brought the Michael Jackson case to a new stage, but also caused the expected situation for glory to death.

This time, the "New York Post" obviously intends to fight Hugo to the end. In addition to denying Hugo and meddling for nostalgic and accusing him, they also stated in the news that the reason why Hugo chose to support Michael Jackson is actually the essential purpose of promoting the new album and deliberately hyping it up!

The New York Post believes that after the release of the new album Honor to Death, it has been under tremendous pressure. The stubborn rock enthusiasts are firmly resisting the album "almost famous", which makes Honor to Death unfavorable. They are currently in a very struggled position: on the one hand, they have enough topics and the quality of the music itself is solid enough; on the other hand, they are subjectively resisted by loyal rock fans, which makes Eida Records very distressed.

EDA Records signed Glory to death to sell albums, but now that we encounter obstacles, EDA Records will naturally not let it go. So EDA Records came up with this idea: to let Hugo publicly support Michael Jackson, this will inevitably win the hearts of Michael Jackson's die-hard fans, and it can also become the first breakthrough for Glory to break the barriers of loyal rock fans to death.

Therefore, the "New York Post" believes that this is a conspiracy of glory to death, a conspiracy deliberately hyped!

This statement from the New York Post is undoubtedly another blow to the image of glory to death. The rock band that has just debuted has left people with the impression of deliberate hype, which often means that the band has no real material and is not a band that relies on talent to make a fortune. This is actually very repulsive and contempt for rock fans.

However, it is obvious that the New York Post has completely grasped the wrong direction in this incident. Although they have won the support of several newspapers such as the National Inquiry and the Houston Tribune, their public opinion seems out of place in the entire media market, just like a lost mouse. Not only can't find the direction, but everyone is also despised.

The Los Angeles Times wrote a special article the next day to mock the New York Post, "This is the most educational case where non-professional media insist on saying that the ugly results of professionalism are the most educational."

The main content of the article "Los Angeles Times" written by David Marches is to satirize the New York Post for pretending to understand if you don't know.

First, the first album after the release of the underground rock band is often not a type with strong explosive power at the beginning of its launch, and it also needs to promote sales through time and tour progress. Obviously, the same is true for Honor to Death, and the sales figures they achieved in the first two weeks are enough to make EDA Records smile. Therefore, no matter from any angle, EDA Records cannot be anxious to use hype to sell albums at this moment, which is obviously completely opposite to EDA Records' positioning and expectations for Honor to Death.

Secondly, even if they plan to hype until death, they obviously would not foolishly choose the sensitive topic of Michael Jackson. The entire public opinion situation in the previous period was not good for Michael. Whoever touched Michael's topic was at a disadvantage. If it was really to hype, EDA Records had too many choices: Hugo's actor status, "Schindler's list", Henry Bloom's connections... Any topic is more conducive to hype than Michael, and the effect will be even better.

Next is Hugo's speech on the Michael incident, which is very loud and has a long-lasting feedback. Obviously, he is not just talking casually, and it is even more impossible to be hype. If you look at Hugo's remarks that day, you will know whether it is hype. What's more, rock bands have always been rebellious, openly opposed the government, and have been addicted to poisons for a long time. In comparison, Honor only supported Michael to death, and it is not shocking at all. It can even be said that there are no highlights worth hype.

The Los Angeles Times depreciated the New York Post as nothing, and was almost pointing at the nose of the New York Post, but that's the case. The article about the malicious hype of glory to death is indeed a joke, and many professional newspapers and magazines even ignored it directly. This is really too amateur.

I heard that the editor-in-chief of the New York Post fired the reporter who wrote the article "Deliberate hype conspiracy" on the day he saw the Los Angeles Times. This was not a matter of position, but a matter of deviating from professionalism, so naturally it could not tolerate it.

David Marches wrote in the Los Angeles Times also stated that Hugo's spirit and attitude are actually consistent with his style of glory to death, and the spirit of the band can be seen from this.

Glory to death is a rock band running towards music. Their enthusiasm and innovation in rock injected light shines like the band's name.

Hugo's support for Michael is the same, firm but not blind, persistent but retains rationality, and strong but leaves room for room for ease. Hugo did not blindly seek justice for Michael, but emphasized that the news media should not ignore the facts, just like the most basic principle of life: the suffix of the "suspect" cannot be removed before the suspect is found guilty in court, and the news media should not remove this suffix and report to Michael.

This persistence retains its own style characteristics and is completely consistent with the musical style direction of glory to death. "Almost Fame". This album is made by combining the advantages of classic rock style and the fantasy ideas of band members. This is the most valuable thing. Glory to death is a band that maintains a high degree of consistency in words and deeds.

Of course, just like the New York Post’s suspicion, the name “Glory to Death” has been widely known throughout the United States with this storm. Whether interested or not, at least they know such a band. This accompanying publicity effect is very powerful.

The direct result of this is that neutral fans began to turn to the band in large numbers, and even ordinary people of the third type in the market began to become interested in the band.

Originally, neutral fans and ordinary people don’t have much interest in the development of the industry and music. It doesn’t matter whether a band insults rock or changes rock. It doesn’t matter whether the music level has risen or stagnates. What’s important is that he likes this music, and that’s everything.

For this group of fans, music may be just a pastime, maybe just a certain interest, or just a background in life. They will not give music too much sacred meaning. The reason why independent rock is "independent" is because the style is too unique and does not meet the tastes of this group of fans; on the other hand, it is because they do not have enough publicity channels, and these neutral fans do not know that there is such music at all.

So, when alternative rock like Nirvana came out of nowhere and became popular, many of the neutral fans fell in love with this kind of music. They didn't mind whether it was alternative rock, grunge, or metal rock. As long as you like it, it was so simple. The "recrew" of the radio commander did not attract attention in the British Isles, but it had an explosive response in the United States. In fact, this is the same.

Now, when many neutral fans noticed glory to death and the album "Almost Fame", the whole craze really broke out.

From the objective standpoint of the third party, the album "Almost Fame" is not only more popular, more approachable and closer to life, but also the quality of the album's songs has also won numerous praises, including "lithium", "don't be upset about the past (don't.look.back.in.anger), "second chance (color cond.rance), "central (the.ddle)" and other songs have been highly recommended by radio hosts.

Therefore, when neutral fans notice "almost famous", they will easily attract attention and even give up their hearts, which will also win a large number of neutral fans for glory until their death.

It is worth noting that after Hugo made explosive remarks on Kiis Radio, Jojo Wright played the song "Lithium". Although "Lithium" tells the collapse of the entire society, it invisibly echoes Hugo's remarks, which can be said to be a perfect response. Qiaojo's unintentional act made the song "Lithium" the first to become the most representative song in the album "Almost Fame".

Of course, one objective factor cannot be ignored. "Lithium" is actually the song closest to grunge in the entire album. When Hugo was writing this song, he couldn't help but think of Nirvana Band. Nirvana Band also has a peerless classic called "Lithium" in the album "Don't Mind", so this also created conditions for "Lithium" to win public love.

From this we can see that the entire album of Glory to Death is still too advanced, and people still need time to adapt.

But even so, Glory still relied on the rock revolution until his death. The two waves of public opinion of the Witch Trial became the most talked-about band at the end of 1993, and "almost famous" also set off a sales frenzy in the last few weeks of the year.
