Chapter 306 Is this real Chinese rock? (Please subscribe, please vote)

There were more than just insiders paying attention to this live broadcast. Liu Yao, who was about to start his second tour the next day, also temporarily stopped the ongoing rehearsal and watched the live broadcast with his band members.

In domestic bars that focus on rock and independent music, such as BJ's Jingwei Reclamation and Sigu, Spring City's Banshan, thousands of Chinese rockers are now paying attention to this live broadcast.

The most awesome are the four people, White Horse and Zilong. After the Rolling Stones Music Festival, the four of them formed a group and are now having group video chats on their mobile phones and watching the live broadcast together on their computers.

In Wembley Stadium, after the cheers of the fans faded slightly, Bian Lang took the microphone from Feimos and said to the audience in Chinese: "Thank you Hatter for the invitation and the people of North London for your support." Enthusiasm, this song below, I want everyone to listen to our rock and roll with unique Chinese charm."

Later, the interactive translator translated Bian Lang's words into English and said: "Thanks to Hatter's invitation and the enthusiasm of the people of North London, I would like everyone to listen to our unique Chinese style rock in this song."

At this time, the foreign audience and the Chinese audience in the audience started to talk after applauding and cheering:

"Why emphasize China? Does the lyrics have any special meaning?"

"If this is really the case, it would be a pity. We don't know Chinese, so we can only feel the shock that the melody brings to us."

"I guess it may be lyrics in the style of ancient Chinese poetry. There should be a translation on the screen in a while, right?"

Listening to these words, Zhang Jing was thinking: "If it is really in the style of ancient poetry, if it is translated literally, it would be difficult for these foreigners to understand the artistic conception." Fortunately, as a Chinese, she There are no worries about children at all.

When Bian Lang said: ""Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty"!" After the title of the song, all the Chinese people present were excited.

"Hey guys, it's a new song!"

"In England, where rock music has been promoted, how can you, the Rolling Stones, be so awesome when you sing about China's prosperous times?"

"This... ahhh! It's the prosperous Tang Dynasty... The new Rolling Stones song is about the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

The development history of Aquablue Star's rock music is basically the same as that of the original Earth. It was born in the United States in the 40s, flourished in England in the 60s and 70s, and by the time it spread to China, it was already in the 80s.In the next 10 years or so, the original Chinese rock music reached a peak that has not been surpassed by anyone since then.

Along with this came various different views and definitions of rock and roll.

The most difficult thing in the world is to define something, because it requires an accurate and concise description.The easiest thing in the world can also be said to be to define something, because you can give a concept according to your own way of understanding and level of understanding.

So a long time ago, in the traditional consciousness of Chinese people, long hair and a leather jacket were rock and roll.Then some people think that rock is SOLO on the guitar, bass on the bass, and rhythm on the drums.Some people say that rock and roll is a kind of spirit, but some people say that this is wrong.

There are also countless music critics on the original earth who have given their own definitions of rock:

Carl Belz, in his book "Rock Story", regarded rock and roll as "folk art", a subconscious slang expression.Charlie Luter called rock and roll the "sound of the city" and believed that it was a new musical cry created by urban teenagers.

In "Rock of Ages", Jonathan Eisen calls rock "a profound form of subversion that is a rebellion against the hypocrisy of Western culture."

The most interesting thing is that Dave Hacker used the Marxist theory of class struggle to analyze rock music in "Bang for Your Money" and considered it to be "working class culture"; while Paul Johnson viewed it in "The New Statesman" Rock and roll is a bourgeois conspiracy, its purpose is to recruit potential revolutionaries and make them "indulged in it and become numb, lazy and out of touch with reality."

For Bian Lang, rock and roll does not have so many high-sounding prefixes, nor does it have so much analytical support. It is just the simplest two words: "I like it!"

Perhaps after experiencing time travel, rock and roll has added a function of recalling the past for him.

Sometimes Bian Lang has a very strange idea, that is, if one day he transports all the works he can remember from the original earth, does it mean that he and the original earth no longer have anything to do with each other? Involved.

And when the translator said the translated song title: "Dreamingback to the Tang Dynasty." The foreigners who just didn't understand why the Chinese music fans at the scene were so excited now knew the reason.

The title of this song is like the line in "The Angel": "Forever North London..." As soon as it came out, who could not be excited at the scene.

As two large gongs and drums with a diameter of more than one meter were pushed onto the stage, domestic music fans who watched through the video set off another wave of climax:

"Hey! This is the gong to clear the way and the drum to ascend the hall. The rolling stones really know how to play! Before, they integrated symphony, but this time they seem to be integrating folk music!"

"I just want to ask, what do you think of those people who said that the Rolling Stones worship foreign countries? Now that the Rolling Stones have taken our ancestors' musical instruments abroad, what do you think?"

"Emma, ​​why has my Chinese soul started burning before this has even started?"

<divclass="contentadv">"Go to a big-name European rock band's tour to play gongs and drums. In this wave of Rolling Stones, I want to see who dares to criticize the Rolling Stones..."

There are still some people who dare to do evil, but they are all trumpets who took money from someone who doesn’t know who, and among the overwhelming praise, they sing the opposite tune that not many people care about.

Naturally, Bian Lang didn't know what was going on on the Internet. Seeing that Dayong and Olaf, the temporary percussionists, were already ready in front of the gongs and drums, Bian Lang nodded to the person on duty at the mixing desk.

Afterwards, an off-site performance, an ancient Chinese percussion accompaniment based on panel drums and camel bells, began to sound in the gymnasium.It immediately felt like it was pulling everyone from the rock world that just exploded into a fairyland.

As soon as this accompaniment music, which in everyone’s traditional concept does not match rock at all, came out, the faces of the fans who did not know the truth showed puzzled expressions: “Is this ancient Chinese music? Or is it not performed live? , what are the Rolling Stones planning to do?”

Even Chinese music fans who are familiar with ancient music style still have a look of confusion on their faces.It's not that they think it's bad, it's just that if the Rolling Stones sing a piece with the accompaniment like this, then even if it's a Chinese style, it's too far-fetched.

Of course, there are also some professionals among them, who have begun to ponder some of the mysteries in their hearts.For example, a percussionist who was sitting in the same stand with Bian Lang and the others was very curious about the sound of the panel drum: "What kind of percussion sound is this? It's such a high pitch, it doesn't feel right. The sound of a drum, but the rhythm and speed are obviously played with both hands. What kind of instrument is it..."

It’s not that Bian Lang has never thought about doing this part live, but it’s really not easy to find a good drummer from China to play the intro. In addition, we need to add a percussionist, and this time he will be a guest. , so Bian Lang chose this section as a prelude and played the accompaniment directly.

Fortunately, the foreshadowing of this section is not long. When the playback reaches 30 seconds, the sound of the big drum is added at high speed together with the rapid rhythm of the bangu. It is like a war drum that breaks this otherworldly mood, reminding everyone present: "High energy ahead." !”

The netizens watching the live broadcast were completely unaware and typed these four words on the barrage just by relying on their hunch and hand speed.

Then, Olaf’s gong sounded like the dawn of a great world, and countless people at the scene were perked up!

The bodies of the three big men in the grandstand, which had been leaning forward slightly before, suddenly straightened back, and their lips that were originally closed together formed a small O shape.

Then, as soon as the distorted electric guitar sounded, the rest of the rock music also joined in.

As soon as this iconic metal sound came out, those who were originally puzzled now became collectively confused and worshiped:

"Can you still play like that?"

"Heavy metal? Or thrash?"

"Uh uh uh... I'm just saying, how could something go wrong with Rolling Stone? This, this, this, this, my Tianling Cap will be overturned soon."

As for the technical experts in the audience, looking at Ti Li’s five fingers flying on the fingerboard, they only felt that their understanding of Chinese rock had been refreshed again tonight.

Hearing this, Ma Yuan from the group of white horses and purple dragons couldn't help but speak: "I didn't understand that part just now, but now I understand it. The sound of drums and drums makes people think of Xuanzang on the white horse heading west. This A solo..."

Before he finished speaking, the other three people said at the same time: "Shut up! Listen to the song!"

Ma Yuan only felt that they were right to scold him, but with this thought in his heart, he felt a sense of urgency that he was unwilling to complain about.He just felt that if he didn't say it now, it would be bad if one of the other three people got the first idea.

Immediately, Ma Yuan decisively quit the group video. While enjoying the unparalleled listening enjoyment brought to him by the progressive and magnificent prelude in his headphones, his fingers quickly typed in the WeChat group dialog box: "This A long solo that is majestic, heavy and has a progressive rhythm, as if Master Xuanzang returned to the capital Chang'an with a load of Buddhist scriptures, opened a door, and looked at the prosperous scene of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty! Busy traffic, and the arrival of all nations towards……"

Just after Ma Yuan sent out a section, Dayong's solo became even more exciting with each drum and cymbal blast, and the solo suddenly stopped, and four heavy drum beats started again, as if a story about the prosperous Tang Dynasty was about to begin!

I saw Bian Lang with long hair walking up to the microphone stand with a sinister and crazy pace, and opened the prelude of this dream back to the Tang Dynasty with a singing voice that could not tell the difference between true and false:

"Chrysanthemum ancient sword, and wine

Soaked in coffee into the hustle and bustle of the pavilion

Aliens Worship the Moon of the Ancients at the Temple of Sun

The prosperous age of Kaiyuan is fascinating..."

These four sentences made all the foreigners present marvel: "This, is this really Chinese rock?"

The next chapter is being reviewed in conjunction with the Easter egg chapter, and may be delayed.
