ads_wz_txt;

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

Upon hearing this question, the band members all looked at Hugo, and Hugo did not refuse, and he said directly, "When it comes to this question, I want to talk about the name of our album first." This question is also the band's promotion. In the process, the most frequently mentioned topics, there were positive breakthroughs and side-by-side attacks. Hugo tried several different answers before, but always felt that everyone’s understanding still had errors, so today he plans to answer from another angle.

"Almost fame" is actually literally standing on the threshold of becoming famous. It may be the last step, but no one knows how long this step will take. Maybe someone will stop for a lifetime. This place, but maybe someone just took a leap and stepped over, no one knows. "Hugo explained in detail the origin of the album's name, which made Qiao Qiao nod his head constantly, and his face sometimes showed a trace of enlightenment. "Standing in this position, all success seems to be within reach. But it seems that they will never reach it. This feeling can easily make people “lost”, and people simply desire success, and even willing to give everything in order to take this step, but they don’t notice. , I have forgotten the purpose of the initial start. "

"Compared to simple success, standing one step short of success can easily make people confused and find themselves. Of course, the light of success is also easy to make people arrogant. , But when it was the closest to success, that kind of rapid heartbeat was incomparable at other moments.” Hugo’s explanation silenced the studio. Although the members of the Glory To Death band had known “almost become famous” "The reason for this allusion, but every time you listen, you will have more feelings, and the first time Qiaoqiao heard it, the shock was hard to describe in words.

"It's like at the last minute of the basketball game, the difference between the two sides is only one point. The buzzer shot of the one behind draws an arc in the air. If you make a shot, you win, and if you don't make it, you lose. Watching the basketball slide across the arc in the air. At this moment, it's obviously only a momentary thing, but you almost feel like you have to vomit your heart out. This kind of vague state that is close to success, but uncertain, makes it easy for people to focus only on the present and forget everything else. "

"Wow, this explanation really makes...all languages ​​lose their ‘color’." Jojo sighed, not only Jojo’s feelings, but also the feelings of most of the listeners in front of the radio.

Hugo used the most direct example to explain the state of "almost fame". In an instant, people understood the psychology, knowing that success is within reach, the kind of sincerity does make people forget. And if you pass by with success, the loss of self-loss will become more turbulent.

Hugo smiled lightly, "In fact, the reason why I mentioned the meaning behind'Almost Fame' is the answer to your question just now."

"How to say?" Qiao Qiao seemed to be a little confused, what is the direct connection between "Almost Fame" and the heated discussion recently caused by Glory To Death.

Hugo did not pause, and then explained, "I think anyone who loves music will know the Beatles and Michael Jackson, whether you like their music or not, but the truth is that their music changed the whole The direction of history. But the question is, if the Beatles and Michael Jackson knew that they could change history, would they still maintain their love of music and all their passion for music?"

"If Elvis-Presley knows that he can change history, can he still sing so many'exquisite' songs? If the Beatles know that they can go down in history, they can still keep their music. Is it pure? If the Nirvana band has long known that they have changed the direction of the'trend' of rock and roll, will Kurt-Cobain's rebelliousness still shine as it is now?" A series of questions from Hugo, let Jojo He was speechless. Even as a radio host, his prompt response speed was one of the necessary skills, but at this time, when faced with Hugo's question, Jojo couldn't find a word 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 creates a new genre, then Our music also loses its original purity. Maybe these issues don’t need to be discussed at all, and we will be ruined.” Hugo joked and said, which made Pedro and Alfonso laugh. There was a sound, but Jojo, who was sitting next to him, didn't smile.

Qiaoqiao never expected that Hugo would respond to the recent controversy in this way.

"In fact, this is the same as'almost fame.' We have introduced a kind of music that is incompatible with the current'trend'. We have broken the shackles of the existing mainstream rock and made our own music, which is bound to conflict with the mainstream. Yes, we are standing on the threshold of changing history. Success is within reach. But if we put all our attention on the topic of “successfully changing the course of music history”, this will also make us “fascinated” "Lost myself, and eventually forget our original idea of ​​making the album "Almost Fame", and forget our original intention of forming the band. Then, our music will eventually lose its original charm."

Qiaoqiao didn’t speak, but Hugo didn’t pause either. Instead, he kept talking. This silenced the audience in front of the radio. All disputes and arguing stopped. Everyone just listened to the rain quietly. The words of fruit.

"So, now everyone is discussing whether our music is an insult to rock or a revolution. I don't think this is a question that our band needs to discuss, because this is not our original intention." Hugo said with a smile, and took a look. My teammates, “We just wanted to make music that we like, and we just wanted to create more diversified and colorful music. As for whether we can change the tide and history of rock and roll, I believe time will give Give an answer, maybe, maybe not." After Hugo finished speaking, he looked at Jojo and said with a smile, "Even if our band doesn't respond, the discussion now is lively enough, isn't it? "

Qiaoqiao finally reacted at this time. He also understood what Hugo meant. In the final analysis, these discussions did not care about the band. Glory to the death is a band that loves music. Their music insults rock or changes rock. This is not important, what is important is their enthusiasm for music.

"Of course, of course." Qiao Qiao nodded in affirmation, and then couldn't help but smiled, "I think, maybe ten years later, we will come back to these discussions today, maybe we will have more feelings. Because of these discussions In itself, it comes from the listeners who really love music, no matter whether these opinions are positive or negative, their love of music is the same."

"Yes, that's the truth." Neil nodded, and finally Hugo's relay was'stick', and expressed his approval. "So in fact, everyone is willing to discuss our music. This matter itself is worthy of our happiness. We just and Like everyone, they are just people who simply love rock. In recent discussions, we are of course the people who love band music. Other than that, there is no difference and no particular point of view."

"That's natural." Qiaoqiao laughed, "but I'm curious, the glory to death has injected many bold attempts and innovations into rock and roll. How did these ideas first appear?"

The band members looked at Hugo again, but Hugo waved his hands with a smile, "You shouldn't look at me. In fact, the first inspiration came from Pepe."

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

"Hugo, are you talking about the rock night when we got together to discuss the importance of bass and guitar to the band's sex?" Neil asked for verification.

"Yes, that night, I also created the song'Strangle the Hero (...) at that time." Hugo nodded, Pedro also recalled,'Lu' showed a suddenly realized expression. "That night I had a little conflict with Peppa and Fokkin’s views. I think that rock music that abandons the guitar actually exists, but they obviously don’t believe it. In order to persuade them, I played it myself."

"Then he killed the audience in seconds Pedro said, this made Neil, Fokkin and others all'showed' silent smiles, but Pedro didn't notice it. Then he said, “You can’t believe it. Hugo used a keyboard with a snare drum that day and played the'killing hero.' The shock that it brought us was really indescribable. From that moment on, I also Involuntarily, I will start to wonder: Is our mind bound and whether rock can have more forms of expression."

"Yes, I also have this idea since then. The essence of rock is freedom, change, and breakthrough. I can hardly imagine that rock without wings can be called rock. Therefore, I give With the more colorful charm of rock and roll, this also has the band Glory to Death." Hugo made a simple summary, but Jojo sighed again and again.

"Wow, sure enough, the fire flower between the bands is eye-opening, and the shining rock and roll spirit of glory to death is also admirable. Now that we mentioned the song "Strangle the Hero", let us Let's enjoy it together, let us also feel the rock'spirit' **** from the glory to death!"
