Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 167: Musical identity (please subscribe, please vote)

Everyone present, including Dayong, had never heard Bian Lang singing English songs. Although he only had one guitar, the strong rhythm output under the strong distortion sound effect could be heard by familiar ears as thrash metal.

Compared with previous punk and hard rock, metal has a god-like status in the minds of many rock people.

Yang Meng and her band Qimeng play metal. The 1 minute and 30 seconds of the intro before was enough to make her obsessed. Now that Bian Lang opened his voice, she even had the urge to worship him.

The bass player's restless hands already had the urge to follow a section, but after playing the air a few times, she gave up the idea because she was afraid of messing up and interrupting the wave. I don't know if it was improvisation or something. performance.

The drummer's impulse was fully put into action, except that she was beating air.

Huang Kai now had the urge to kneel down to Bian Lang and wished he could see the bass score immediately. He glanced at Dayong, who also shook his head and spread his hands to him, saying that he had never heard of it.

The Magpie, who has always been proud of its hanging rack, is now excited but disappointed.

He was excited because he was lucky enough to witness the birth of what he thought would become a practice piece for countless guitarists, but disappointed because it was obviously the rhythm that Bian Lang played.The rhythm guitar is already so good, so what should the lead vocal look like?

After the music festival, several Nanyin guitarists joked with him and said that it was a shame for him to hold him back and let Bian Lang, a lead singer, play the lead vocals.

Liang Zi immediately shouted: "Xiao Ke Tong, you are professional enough now, I will give you a share later!"

Thinking of the contract that was about to expire, she could clearly feel that the company was beginning to reduce its investment in resources for her, even though she had not made it clear that she would renew the contract...

On the car back to the inn, the manager saw that the three of them were a little disappointed, and he also expressed relief: "Rolling Stone Music Festival is a new label. Although the battle is quite big now, no one can tell what the final effect will be. Magic Disc After all, it is a long-established music festival, and its reputation and fan base are guaranteed, so..."

"Huh? No more?" Yang Meng, who was nearest, exclaimed.

"Hmm, Teacher Bian, I would like to ask what the name of this song is? Have you not finished writing it yet or... I really want to hear the full version."

As for the lead vocal, he didn't want to think about it. He really didn't have the skills...

But when she thought that Bian Lang personally sent Qimeng an invitation to the Rolling Stones Music Festival, she became irritable again.Because the company signed a performance contract for them at the Magic Disc Music Festival, and there was an additional condition that they would be exclusive to the Dian Music Festival in the eleventh period.

"Thank you, Teacher Bian..."

"'FadeToBlack', I haven't figured out the arrangement yet, I'll sing it at the Rolling Stones Music Festival."

"Fade To Black... fade into the darkness..." Yang Meng silently recited it a few times and then began to follow Bian Lang's suggestion and start tuning with the speaker that had just performed a classic melody.

Hearing this, Yang Mengcai nodded as if waking up from a dream.

Although it was very sad, she understood that Bian Lang was using this song to praise her.What I mean is that it doesn’t have to be like this, the timbre is different, and you can also play awesome music by changing the way of expression!

There wasn't much going on at the Haileyhua Music Festival this time, so Chen Shuting gave her the opportunity to take the leading role on her own. Before departure, she specifically told her: "As long as you see Bian Lang holding an instrument, you must be ready to take pictures."

What surprised him even more was the female drummer. Even Dayong gave her a thumbs up and said, "This technique is really solid. As far as this section is concerned, she plays better than many male drummers."

……

Two hours later, the New Pants Band members easily completed the work of tuning and playing on the stage.

This reminded her of the female drummer from the original Earth who had to shout "hello!" countless times at the beginning...

It is said that those with good voices envy those who play musical instruments well and can write songs. Dong Youbian is pretty good at these three things, but compared with Bian Lang, he is a bit unsatisfactory.

If she had to add an adjective, it would probably be extraordinary!

She chose to give up her rock and roll dream at that time. A large part of the reason was because there was no systematic teaching method. Folk songs focused on the story-telling of lyrics, and the songs were relatively simple, which was somewhat backwards compatible.

Just when everyone was looking forward to what the song would be like later, Bian Lang's voice and hands stopped at the stuck point at the end of the main song.

At that time, he just thought that people were jealous of him, but now he feels that what they said is true. If this song is to be performed on the stage in the future, even if Bian Lang doesn't say anything, he himself will probably be embarrassed to follow it, and there is no way he can let him Let's play this intro with a rhythm guitar standing in C position.

After Bian Lang stepped down, the three members of the Qimeng band also began to get into the mood.

"Thrash metal is the same as Brother Da Feng and others. Xiao Ketong, I think it's useless for you to listen to CDs in record stores. You should come to the rehearsal room more often and ask people, otherwise you won't be able to tell the difference in another year. If it's someone else, forget it. Well, you are the manager of the new pants. If you don’t understand the basics clearly, that would be really embarrassing!"

"Who knew the Rolling Stones would invite you? But now that I have met Bian Lang, I will have a chance in the future." The manager's understatement made the three girls feel a little chilled.

Bian Lang was even more surprised by her energy when playing the drums. Looking at her passionate expression, Bian Lang was really sweating her neck!

Bian Lang handed the electric guitar back to her, and then said: "Let's settle for a tune first. Although there is a gap between it and your MG15FX, if you tune it carefully, you should be able to find a similar tone. There are more than a dozen in total. As for a band, this model is not a niche product, you should be able to find it, don’t lose the motivation to perform.”

At this moment, Dong Youbian started to feel a little sad.The Sea Cauliflower Music Festival did not extend an invitation to him personally this time, but after Bian Lang extended the harmony invitation to her, even though she knew it was an excuse, she immediately agreed as she had no other work.

<divclass="contentadv">She told the company that she wanted to find inspiration to write songs, but in fact she just wanted to get in touch with Bian Lang and get to know her better.

I don’t know what the original sound is like, but now Bian Lang doesn’t feel uncomfortable listening to it.

As for the Qimeng Band, they did not leave even after they stepped off the stage. First, because their manager asked them to wait, and Bian Lang asked them to participate in the Rolling Stones Music Festival. Second, they all had a learning attitude and wanted to see Bian Lang's complete performance. dress rehearsal.

Bian Lang didn't want to sing the whole song here today. One reason was that the song was a bit long, and the part about waking up Yang Meng was enough.Another reason is that if you just play rhythm guitar without drums, lead guitar and bass, you can’t get the feeling of the latter part at all, and it feels weird when you sing.

After taking out his cell phone and recording a short period, Bian Lang asked Xiao Qin for the contact information of the band's manager.

After Zhou Ketong heard this, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Okay, brother Liang Zi, teach me when you get back!"

But tonight's song, she felt, was really a bit over the top.Putting aside the lyrics, this section alone is an incomplete prelude, and she feels that it will be written into the history of rock and roll.

"Since I have to leave anyway, then Rolling Stone should be my next stop!"

"Ding Ding, you should also know very well that Magic Disk chose us because of the publicity stunt of a female rock band..."

"It's okay, come on, we're still waiting behind, hurry up and we'll have a chance to go back and catch up on some sleep tonight..." Hearing Bian Lang's teasing, Yang Meng's face instantly showed a hint of benefit.

Zhou Ketong approached Liang Zi with a smile and asked in a low voice with a serious face: "Brother Liang Zi, what kind of style was Brother Lang just doing?"

However, this made Bian Lang think about selecting this song to be included in the performance of the Rolling Stones Music Festival, but he also thought about the problem of the lead guitar. It would be really difficult for him to play the lead without looking at the strings. As for Magpie , he also felt that it was indeed a little bit less interesting.

Liang Zi, who was dumbfounded, worshiped and regretted in the audience: "Why didn't I record it?" But after saying this, he saw Zhou Ketong had just put down his mobile phone.

When Mayuan Poet came on stage, Bian Lang took the stage as the lead guitar again. The lead guitar in "Lugu Lake" was played so well that Yang Meng truly felt what it means to be technically overwhelmed.

She didn't think she was capable of Bian Lang, but she really didn't want to fall into the state of Bian Lang's song just now.

The song "Shameless" made her admire Bian Lang's solid voice and singing skills; "Miss Dong" made her marvel at Bian Lang's ability to capture the details of life in lyrics; "The Age of Floating White Clothes" made her marvel at Bian Lang's poetic ability when writing lyrics; and today's English song, whose name he didn't know yet, allowed her to see Bian Lang's ability in arranging music.

Yang Meng didn't want to talk, but the drummer Dingding, who had a more aggressive temper, couldn't hold it in anymore: "It's not just how much money they gave over there. Besides, it's only tens of thousands more yuan. If it's divided among each of us, it's enough." Why were you so eager to agree to a new speaker?"

The sound engineer who worked with Bian Lang for the first time felt that this was really the most professional and trouble-free band today. Not only was he clear about the effect he wanted, but he could also express it accurately. Even if he couldn't express it clearly, Bian Lang could do it. You can do it yourself.

In fact, even if you don't mention this additional condition and don't take into account the competitive relationship between Magic Disk and the Rolling Stones, no band will play two music festivals in the same place within a week.

As soon as these words came out, Yang Meng couldn't help it: "Does that mean that they are not optimistic about our music? Then why should we go there? We are not a girl group. We can't dance without relying on our face... "

She also sings English songs, and she understands the meaning of Bian Lang's five short sentences just now. To put it bluntly, this song vividly expresses her state just now.Especially the sentence "I have lost the will to live, I have lost the motivation to survive..." is the truest portrayal of her mood just now.

When the new pants arrived, it took less than 20 minutes to complete the process, and the effect was not irritating at all, which made her even more convinced.

In fact, not only Magic Disc, but also their current company's promotion positioning of the three people has always put the gimmick of female rock in the first place, and underestimated their music.However, the company can continue to provide resources and the income is basically satisfactory to the three of them, so they do not worry too much about this.

But now Bian Lang helps first and then invites them after listening to their music. What they feel is real musical recognition.

In contrast, the feeling of not being recognized that had been accumulated in my heart began to explode into powerful negative emotions...
