Chapter 54: Lincoln

The new band also caught Sid's attention, as there were indeed a bit of a lot of people on stage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info an ordinary band, no matter what the style, it is generally about four people. One or two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, and that's enough.

But the new band has a whopping six people, and in addition to the normal structure, they have a dedicated keyboardist and two lead singers!

Seeing such an exaggerated number of bands, the audience in the audience had already buzzed and discussed. The two lead singers, one with blonde hair and the other with short dyed burgundy hair, walked to the front of the line, and the two of them took the microphone. Then the guitarist started plucking the picks, and the band didn't talk much nonsense, just a little tweaking, and then they went straight to singing.

It's metal rock.

But not only that, although Sid doesn't know much about rock and roll, he still has a slight impression of the noisy metal rock.

And although the band's first song also has a metallic guitar sound, a fast rhythm of the melody, a heavy low song, and a powerful roar, even in the chorus, they still use rap similar to Rap, which is also full of novelty.

But most importantly, their performances. It's really TM's explosive power and full of impact.

Sid was originally a person who didn't listen to metal rock much, but the moment the band started the melody, everyone seemed to be in a state of confusion. From vocalist to guitarist, from drummer to keyboardist.

Especially the two lead singers, under the melody of the overture, they both bend down and stomp and wave to the rhythm.

Then the main tone begins, and of the two lead singers, the blonde one speaks first:

I can not take this anymore

Although the melody of their music is quite atmospheric and rough, the vocals' voices are extremely delicate.

Saying everything I've said before, repeating the past word by word

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

You'll find that out anyway, and you'll still see through the mystery after all

(Just like before... As always

Immediately after the first note, they cut to the roaring part.

Everything you say to me

(Takes me one step closer to the edge)

(And I'm about to break) I'm about to break up

I need a little room to breathe

(Cuz I'm one step closer to the edge.)

(And i'm about to break) on the verge of collapse

Then they moved on to a slower singing session again.

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish: I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again, the cycle continues

(Just like before)

After that, the grass stirred again, and the whole song was in this wave-like rhythm, bringing the audience a bloody impact of the music, which made Sid's rare blood boil. But strangely, the young audience at the scene was not interested in their expressions.

Sid looked around strangely, although some of the young audience swayed to the rhythm of the song, more people just looked at the stage indifferently, or chatted directly with their friends. Although in such a noisy and noisy environment, there is nothing to talk about.

But I don't know if it's because their style is too advanced, or if the rebellious teenage audience present feels that their songs are "too light", anyway, the audience lacks interest in their passionate songs.

At this time, Sid found that at the end of the concert warehouse, there were several middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes, who were looking at the bands on the stage with scrutinizing eyes, "That's?" Sid asked curiously.

"That's a scout. Justin Lin noticed Sid's eyes and took the initiative to answer.

"Scout?" Sid was surprised, he didn't expect to watch an underground concert, and there would be a scout.

"Well, it should be a talent scout of which record company, it is said that many music producers will pan for gold in underground concerts. Justin Lin explained.

"Oh, you know so much, little forest. Sid said in surprise.

"It's nothing, I have a lot of friends who play music, and I just listen to them. Justin Lin said.

At this moment, the performance of the band on the stage also ended, and with the not too enthusiastic applause, the six people who were originally enthusiastically performing seemed a little discouraged, especially when they saw a few black-clad suits at the back, who actually turned around and left after watching their performances.

This makes them feel like they have been beaten in the face, and they have failed again!?

Several people looked at each other a few times, lowered their heads and walked to the stage with musical instruments, but the lead singer with short burgundy hair seemed to be a little unwilling, picked up the microphone and said to the audience: "Thank you, everyone's ...... Cheer. We are, Linkin Park. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

When Chester Bennington, who had short blond hair, walked to the lounge in the backstage of the warehouse with his companions, he angrily wanted to throw his guitar on the ground, but when he thought of the high price of the electric guitar in his hand, he finally kicked the electronic speaker with frustration and depression.

The electronic speaker immediately made a screeching noise, "Hey, what are you doing!" A staff member next to him immediately stopped, "Which band are you from?

Chester Bennington turned his head angrily and glared at him, and the staff of the underground music hall were surprised by his rudeness and immediately glared back.

Just when the conflict between the two was about to break out, Mike Nobuta, who was stepping down after him, hurriedly grabbed his companion, "Hey, brother, a little angry." ”

Then he turned his head and the staff at the music venue smiled repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my friend didn't mean to." "Mike Nobuta has rebellious short red hair, but EQ is quite skillful in handling things, and as the manager of the band, he is not only responsible for liaising with the performance, but also acting as a lubricant inside and outside the team.

The staff at the music venue didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they immediately said a few words with a straight face and left.

"Hmph, the villain who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard. Chester Bennington gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Alright, Chast, don't waste your energy on these little things. Mike Nobuta smiled wearily.

Seeing his friend's tired smile, Chester Bennington was also deflated, he sat down and sighed heavily, "I'm sorry, Mike. You finally got the RCA scout, and we messed up again. ”

Several other members of the band apologized, and Mike Nobuta smiled slightly, "It's nothing, guys, I don't think we screwed it up." ”

"yes, it's just those guys who don't have eyes. Another band member said indignantly.

For a while, several members of the band began to criticize the RCA scouts who left halfway.

Then a voice suddenly interjected, "Is the RCA (record) as bad as you say?"

Everyone looked back in surprise and saw a young man with blond hair walking into their "lounge" at some point, followed by a young fat man of the same age who was Asian.

"Who are you!?" said Chester Bennington with a wary look in his eyes.

"Well~~~, it's your fan. The blonde young man said with an insincere smile.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked Mike Nobuta curiously, although the other party was younger than his own, but the other party's complacent demeanor. Mike Nobuta, who is experienced in dealing with people, intuitively felt a sense of being seen through, which made him feel a little ridiculous.

"I just heard you guys are the 'Linkin Park' band?" asked the blonde young man with a slight smile.

"Yes, we're Lincoln Park, may I ask you?" asked Mike Nobuta, confused.

"The 'Linkin Park' band who ate twenty or thirty times at the record company and held countless underground concerts, all of which failed?"

The blonde young man's slightly frivolous words immediately aroused the anger of everyone on the Linkin Park band, and Chester Bennington slammed the table and slammed the case: "What are you talking about, stinky boy! Who sent you, are you the bastard of Tatessa?"

Chester Bennington's words made the people at Linkin Park immediately feel a little wary, and their vigilant demeanor amused Sid's heart, and he waved his hand disapprerovingly: "Take it easy, I'm not from Tatessa, I'm just a kind person with a lot of curiosity." ”

Looking at the six members of the Linkin Park band opposite, Sid couldn't help but sigh with emotion about the lucky aura of Lindsay, a little girl, just casually ran to watch the performance, and he could also meet the legendary band that became popular all over the world in the future, and this kind of lucky aura is really no one.

If Britney Spears is the representative of the American dream of overnight success at the end of the century, then Lincoln Park is definitely the first ray of light for alternative rock in the new century.

In the year he signed with the record label, his first studio album sold more than 24 million copies worldwide, even compared to Britney's virgin album!

The speed and intensity of such a popularity can't help but remind people of the American idol Britney Spears who sparked the prairie a year ago, but Linkin Park's uncompromising alternative rock style, and the innovative spirit of learning from the strengths of others, make them appear in front of everyone with a completely different look.

"So, do you believe you can succeed?" Sid smiled faintly as he looked at the fiery Chester Bennington, and Sid's fiery eyes couldn't help but become serious.

"Of course, if you don't believe in yourself, then what's the point of fighting?" replied Chester Bennington, in a firm manner.
