ads_wz_txt;

The 528 controversy "wave" 　　 at the end of 1993 was clearly caught in a frenetic "wave". First, "Schindler's List" triggered amazing discussions about war. This hot "wave" Before it had time to retreat, the rock craze caused by "almost fame" began to shake the foundation of the entire music field. The "alternative" and "rotation" two famous and famous families' tit-for-tat ice and fire songs triggered an earthquake in the entire music field. discussion.

The influence of "Alternative Choice" and "Rotation" may still be inferior to "Rolling Stone", but the influence of the two on underground music, underground rock, and professional music fans is still beyond doubt; plus the glory to death. The band was originally the focus of people's attention, so when the two magazines' reviews of the glory to death came out, they quickly expanded among the fans.

At the beginning, the topic remained at "Is this an excellent work of the album called'Almost fame..." but soon it progressed to "What is the style of this band..." Then it developed to "Did the glory to death insult rock..." and finally directly rose to "How should the situation of rock and roll style develop to the present...... The trend of the whole topic is really jaw-dropping."

Just as the two professional music magazines "Alternative Choice" and "Zhizhuan" have completely different views, the views of song fans can be roughly divided into three schools, the "Alternative Choice" school, the "Zhizhuan" school, and the last one. The kind is the neutral song'fans' and outsiders.

Because the music of rock is'sexual', and because of the spirit of rock and roll advocated by rock, there are a group of diehard'fans' among the loyal rock enthusiasts. They insist that the pedigree of rock must remain pure, British rock , Metal rock, art rock, post-garage rock, punk, etc., all belong to the category of rock. Among them, the most extreme group of fans only agree with the kind of rock they like. For example, after nearly 30 years of development, punk still has one Criticizing die-hard music fans refuse to admit that punk is also rock

They have a paranoid insistence on the composition of drums, guitars and bass. The addition of keyboards is considered a shameful compromise and change. They will even spurn rock bands that join the keyboards, even the Dream Theater band gets an "alternative choice." "The praised band still has a stubborn group that is unwilling to accept it.

This group of loyal fans is actually rock extremists. They are absolutely scornful of the appearance of Glory to Death. Since Glory to Death embarked on a road tour in July, they have despised such bands as Glory to Death. To make a simple analogy, if rock is a royal family, then the glorious music is a slave class in their eyes, and it cannot be brought to the table.

When "alternative choices" criticized Glory To Death, these diehards also used all kinds of vicious remarks to express their rejection of Glory To Death. Fortunately, this is not the Internet age yet, so these fans are scattered in every corner of the United States. No organization connects them, and there is no overwhelming criticism. Their most direct objection was to refuse to enter the record store to buy the album "Almost Fame", using this practical action to express their resistance to the band.

Similarly, the remarks of the "Zhizhuan" magazine have also received support from a large number of fans. They believe that the pursuit and persistence of dreams to the death of glory is the most direct interpretation of the spirit of rock and roll, and the band is performing in the live performance. The expressive power is even more top-notch. The band is using the most sincere performance to pass on their rock'n' roll spirit to the audience. The kind of'exciting' energy that still does not give up in the dark has won Loved by a large number of fans.

At the same time, these fans believe that glory to death poses a challenge to the current fixed situation of rock and roll. This thing is so rock in itself. You know, rock music is a rebellion against secular concepts. In the 1960s and 1970s, many parents believed that rock was synonymous with depravity, and extreme parents even thought that rock was promoting poison. Tasting, wine ‘essence’ and violence, these parents strongly block rock and roll out, believing that rock and roll is the ‘essence’, poison and ‘medicine’, which will harm their children and their values.

Hippies arose during that year. It was under this cultural movement that rock and roll reached its first golden peak.

Glory to death is facing the same situation now. Secular concepts have restricted the hands and feet of rock music, and the so-called "traditional concepts" have restricted the innovation of rock and roll. Perhaps this is not the secular and political constraints of the 60s and 70s, but But the same is a strangulation of freedom. When rock loses its free soul, rock is no longer rock.

Therefore, these "fans" praised their efforts to challenge the status quo, especially for the past two years, which was hailed as a year of rock and roll revival. They were so proud to dare to challenge authority under such circumstances. This move was overflowing. The spirit of rock'n' roll

These song fans believe that those who are holding the glory to death are insulting the opposition of rock and roll, in fact, they are strangling the throat of the rock spirit with ropes. Their fear of new things is like the forties. Ignorant people who have never heard of rock and roll, and conservatives who regarded rock as a scourge in the decade, this is the real insult to rock!

More importantly, each of the eleven songs of the album "Almost Fame" is very'splendid', whether it is the completion of the melody or the'precision' of the lyrics, or the'essence' of the gods. The degree of penetration is amazing, among which the classic masterpieces can't be counted with one hand. This is definitely a rare sight for an album.

Compared with the opposition, the supporters are obviously united, not only because the previous glorious to death road tour across the United States has gathered a large number of die-hard fans, but also because of Meredith Morris and Liam The supporter team organized by Pinkman, Eli Kaswei and others gave the band tremendous support, which also gave the supportive public opinion the upper hand for a time.

At the same time, supporters can also show their positive support by walking into the record store to buy albums, which also allows the supporters to rise silently.

In the face of such a situation, the opposition is naturally unwilling to show weakness. Although they are not organized, in the United States in the 1990s, radio has become the best platform for ordinary audiences to express their emotions. If you want to talk about the extent of influence, the radio station still On the TV. As a country on wheels, the influence of car radio on the general public is omnipresent.

As a result, the "alternative" faction and the "rotation" faction started a fierce competition with the radio as the battlefield.

"Jesus Christ, if you play this kind of **** music again, I will smash your radio station. The music of the Glory to the Dead band can't be called rock and roll at all. You are insulting rock and roll!"

"To death I will unswervingly support glory to death. I believe that their dedication to music can reach the other side of success and find the glory that belongs to them. Their spirit is the real rock and roll, I want you to play it." Li(), this song!"

"Shit, all this is terrible, please don't ruin my morning with **** music like glory to death. If this can be called rock and roll, then Mariah Carey's high pitch can be called opera Go! God hell, can you improve your musical taste a little bit? Even the street trash pickers..." The words that followed were swear words and were cut off.

"I can't believe that I didn't know Glory to Death until now. Their music is so wonderful,'Don't worry about the past (...in.anger'Second chance(.'Sterling the hero (...) All this is really wonderful. They have brought earth-shaking changes to my life, thank God!"

"Professional, professional, professional! Please don't use those bad commercial pop music to insult my ears! Glory to death is just a grandstanding clown, their singing is not even music, and I solve my physiology in the bathroom The muffled noises in question are better than their shit!"

"This is the real rock and roll, the courage to dare to challenge all authority, this kind of rock's spirit is what we should advocate. I'm tired of listening to the countless music that imitates the Nirvana band, please, there is only one Nirvana One is enough, so those noises can be stopped. Please listen to the glorious to death music, their courage to change the status quo, their persistence in sprinting dreams, and most importantly, they give a new color of rock and roll. Glory to death is the Nirvana band two years ago, I love them, I love them!"

"Damn Hugo, **** Nazi, let him go back to acting, don't insult rock and roll!"

"Hugo Lancaster is the lover of my dreams, and I will always support him. God, his beautiful eyes, his voice that day, is this true? Oh, my god, even if you mention his name You can feel the beating of your heart!"

Glory to Death’s album was released on Thursday and due to the rendering of the two magazines "Alternative Choice" and "Rotation", during the three days from Friday to Sunday, according to incomplete statistics, A total of 176 radio stations mentioned Glory to Death or "Almost Famous" 20,730 times. The frequency of discussions has become second only to "Schindler's List" this weekend. The hot'door' topic of'tide'.

As the crossover character of two hot topics, Hugo Lancaster's number of mentions has soared to nearly 50,000 times, which is very shocking.

"Schindler's List" has become a social issue that has swept the entire North American continent because it touched on the sensitive topics of the Jews. Relatively speaking, the "almost fame" that is glorious to death is weaker by more than one grade. Of course, because of the involvement When it comes to the topic of rock renaissance and rock revolution, this matter itself is also part of social culture, so the discussion is definitely not inferior.

In addition to the lively discussions between the "alternative" and "rotational" groups, the neutral group and the bystander group have become important footnotes for the strong rise of glory to death!
