Chapter 478: Rock Never Dies(New Book Collection)
However, Cao Wu did not use this guitar in this performance, firstly, because the style did not match, and secondly, he wanted to save this guitar for singing some more special songs.
After stepping off the stage again, it wasn't until after twelve o'clock that the Black Hole Band appeared again, this time, for the final end of the concert.
Off the stage, the audience was a little tired, and the continuous performance for several hours was indeed a bit hard for some older audiences, but after the black hole took the stage again, they still responded with warm applause.
In today's performance, the black hole undoubtedly impressed everyone.
They've sung eight songs, but no one thinks it's going to be overwhelming, because each of their songs is a nostalgic memory of the only protagonist in the show, James Howard.
The entire main stage was lit up, and twenty-seven musicians, harmony singers, and dancers all came to the stage, they were Lao Zhan's performance team, and they almost accompanied Lao Zhan all his life.
They stand in the same positions they used to perform, with musicians in the back, backing vocals on either side of the stage, and dancers joining the backing vocals.
A golden microphone was placed in the center of the stage, where it was supposed to be, and the light chased on it, and the dust drifted between the beams like a stairway to heaven.
The Black Hole Band came to the stage again, and Cao Wu slowly came to the microphone with an acoustic guitar in his arms.
If Lao Zhan hadn't died, he should have stood in front of the microphone at this moment, even if he bent down in sweat, but in the next second, he would stand up again and bring joy to everyone again with his passionate singing.
Only this time, he will not appear, and the person standing on the stage in his place is a young man from Huaguo.
No one felt any resentment, because the black hole had conquered them with song after song.
"Hmm~~Hmm~~!"
Cao Wu plucked the strings, and a soft harmony followed.
“mama,take?this badge off of me,”
"Mom, take this badge off for me,"
“i can't use it anymore,”
"I don't need it anymore,"
“it's gettin' dark,too dark to see,”
"The former glory is fading away, obscure and difficult to discern,"
“i feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door,”
"I think it's time for me to knock on heaven's door,"
……
"Oh my!" a silver-haired old man in the front row of the stage couldn't hold back anymore when he heard the lyrics, and covered his mouth.
On stage, everyone was softly singing and singing.
“knock,knock,knockin' on heaven's?door,”
"Knock, knock, knock on the door of heaven,"
“knock,knock,knockin'?on heaven's?door,”
"Knock, knock, knock on the door of heaven,"
……
Simple melodies, simple lyrics, but full of affection, a sea of mobile phone flashes began to appear in the audience, people waving their hands in it, and everyone singing the same lyrics.
“knock,knock,knockin'?on heaven's?door,”
"Knock, knock, knock on the door of heaven,"
“knock,knock,knockin'?on heaven's?door,”
"Knock, knock, knock on the door of heaven,"
……
Cao Wu didn't have a chance to sing the second stanza at all, because everyone kept repeating it.
The band on the stage simply repeated the chords over and over again, and Cao Wu waved his arms and led everyone to sing over and over again.
The live camera faithfully recorded the scene, transmitting the image to the whole world, and all the spectators who were watching the show saw the spectacle of the scene.
Backstage, some singers and bands who have finished the performance but have not left yet can't help but feel their hearts flutter when they see this scene.
This is the charm of Cao Wu, the charm of black holes, and the charm of music.
The road is simple, sometimes the music is not so complicated, just a short sentence, can touch the heart.
It was repeated for more than three minutes, and seeing that everyone had no intention of stopping, the sound engineer had to lower the volume of the speaker until it was turned off.
But the audience still waved their arms tirelessly and continued to sing.
They finally found a song that could express their nostalgia for Lao Zhan directly and directly, and here, they want to help Lao Zhan knock on the door of heaven!
It lasted for more than a minute, and everyone finally stopped.
Cao Wu motioned for the sound engineer to turn on the speaker, and then turned back to the musicians behind the stage and invited a black man in his sixties out.
After seeing him, the audience cheered.
"White!"
White is the exclusive guitarist who has been with him for the longest time in Lao Zhan's team, when he joined Lao Zhan's team, he was still a young man in his early twenties, after so many years, he has gray hair, and Lao Zhan has left everyone.
Holding the electric guitar, Old White stood in the center of the stage with some embarrassment, surrounded by applause.
He gently raised his hand to greet everyone, and each time he ushered in more enthusiastic cheers and applause.
When the atmosphere eased slightly, Cao Wu smiled at him and nodded, and Old White plucked the strings with his old but still flexible fingers.
Batu's drums are fitted in perfectly with Zhan's royal drummer, Philip, who holds an African drum and beats it gently.
Cao Wu swept the chords with his acoustic guitar and sang loudly.
“hey hey, my my。 ”
"Hey, hey, I, I,"
“rock and roll can never die,”
"Rock 'n' Roll Never Dies,"
“there’s more to the picture than meets the eye,”
"There are a lot of landscapes that we haven't seen yet,"
“hey?hey, my my。 ”
"Hey, hey, I, I,"
……
Backing vocals, dancers, and band members, including Batu, Lele, and Qingsong, all sang together, a song dedicated to Lao Zhan, and a song dedicated to rock.
“out of the blue and into the black,”
"Suddenly into the darkness,"
“you pay for this, but they give you that,”
"Giving and giving back are always different,"
“and once you’re gone, you can’t come back,”
"Once you leave, you can't come back,"
……
Lao Zhan is a master of soul and funk music, but his influence on rock and roll is just as profound, so countless rockers around the world are also tuning in to the show.
In fact, in various countries, including in China, there are some musicians who have a lot of opinions about black holes, because everyone knows that it is because of the emergence of black holes that rock music is gradually declining.
Most of the veterans in the industry can understand this, there are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years, the popularity of music is developing with the times, every era has music of each era, even if there is no black hole to create metal music, there will be some white hole to create steel music.
It's not the black hole that makes rock 'n' roll fall, it's this era.
However, there are still some people who have prejudices about black holes because they have ruined their jobs.
It's just that on such a stage, seeing the Black Hole Band that single-handedly ended the rock era actually sang a song that rock never dies, their feelings are a little complicated.
“when you’re out of the blue and into the black,”
"When you come out of grief and into darkness,"
“the king is gone but he’s not fcomotten,”
"The king is gone, but he will always be remembered,"
“is this the story of the james howard?”
"Is this a story about James Howard?"
“it’s better to burn out ’cause rust never sleeps,”
"It's better to burn than to linger,"
“the?king is gone but he’s not fcomotten。 ”
"The king is gone, but he will always be remembered. ”
Metal music is the music style that Black Hole is famous for, but all the members, including Cao Wu, have feelings for rock music.
Just like the song goes, they also believe that rock and roll will never die, and it is reborn in another way!
