Chapter 399, the heavenly disc landed
As I said before, in a special period in the history of discursive rock music, various external and internal conditions have created a large number of rock celebrities and classic rock music, and "No Place for Shame" is definitely one of the most beneficial.
First of all, this song quickly became popular all over the land of China with an unprecedented pop benchmark, and the first to be conquered were those people who were very uncomfortable with rock, in fact, those people's ears were soft, and in pop culture, especially the more 'alternative' rock culture at that time, it was easy to make the buns fascinated.
To tell the truth, the real promoter of this song is not the musician of Big 6, but the Hong Kong company that signed a contract with the Black Panther Band at that time, many record companies in Hong Kong have a strong and strong sense of vegetable farmers, and income generation is their main purpose, so it cost a lot of money on this song, and it also created the absolute popularity of this song.
If you put it in the late 10s of the 21st century, this song is not a very mature work, but it does have the magic that makes it easy for more people to accept and begin to understand rock and roll, and it is also a rock song that countless rock fans will feel familiar with as soon as they hear it.
Although the essential meaning of this song has many not so positive, even negative flavors, there is such an element in the essence of rock and roll, and it has been deeply rooted in its DNA since the day rock appeared, and it cannot be changed or avoided. Therefore, no one can deny that this song is a great work.
Although Cantonese rock music sounds familiar with the language and taste, as long as you are a person who really faces music and rock, you can't go against your own emotions and shocks. Cantonese is a dialect, and many words and colloquialisms simply cannot show the explosive power they deserve, while the Mandarin version of rock music is more able to express the connotation of rock because the text content covered is relatively vast. Whether you admit it or not, you can't change this phenomenon, which is determined by the innate conditions of language, and can be shaken by non-personal will.
Could it be that there are so many Mandarin versions of rock and roll. In addition to the reason that Cantonese rock is very narrow, there is also the idea of focusing on mainland rock music, and from now on, everyone will understand that Mandarin rock is much more powerful than Cantonese rock, and it is necessary to have the right choice to move closer to that direction in the future.
It's true, Hong Kong does have singers who are very persistent, very focused, and insist on taking the path of authentic rock. But that's only a very small number after all, look at how much music is made in Hong Kong in a year, and how many of them are rock, and how many are Cantonese rock. From the beginning of the popularity of Cantonese music to the 21st century, the average of less than one in a year has been less than one in the past 40 years, so the problem is obvious.
And what about the mainland. Starting from Lao Cui, the father of Chinese rock music in the 80s, to the three heroes of Magic Rock, Tang Dynasty Band, Cobra, Compass, Zai, Face, Zero, etc., even in the era when rock music began to decline due to excessive madness, good works are still emerging.
What does this depend on, not only because of the cultural carrier, but also because there is a broad audience base in Big 6, even if it is only one thousandth of the base. There are millions of people, and some small countries don't have so many people. Therefore, if rock music wants to take root in the Chinese music scene and develop and grow steadily and smoothly, it must rely on the Mandarin market.
So I was planning to get rid of this morning, and even the afternoon time had the idea of appropriating part of it, in order to take this opportunity today to create a bomb in the history of Hong Kong rock music, and shake those stupid and stubborn guys.
"No Place for Shame" is not even a divine comedy. It is definitely a famous song, and after singing a song, it is naturally thunderous applause. It's not too proud, it's all about using other people's things to show face, it's just a matter of being wrong, don't be too embarrassed.
After a few minutes of rest, all six of them changed to a new score, and the next thing they were going to sing was Mandarin rock. The work of a famous rock singer in the mainland of Yiyang City, one of Zheng Jun's most successful works "Elopement". When she changed the score before singing, Mo Fei glanced at He Chaoqiong not far away with a little meaning, and I don't know what she would think of this song.
Sure enough, I just sang two lines. When it came to the sentence 'leave love to the most sincere girl around me', Miss He's eyes suddenly began to light up, and when she came to the later part of 'eloping with you', He Chaoqiong felt that this was not like a song for herself, so she couldn't elope at all in the current situation, it seems that this is not the case.
This is not, when she poured a rock version of "Love Has to Be Done", He Chaoqiong was almost sure that this should be one of the songs that Mo Fei gave her, and the lyrics were already sung very clearly, especially when she heard it more straightforward.
'I feel your gentleness with your hands', in He Chaoqiong's opinion, only she and Mo Fei can understand, aren't the two just holding hands, but this pull is different from others, if nothing else, this pull is more stable than others getting into bed.
It's just that the opening sentence 'It's hard to forget the first time I saw you, a pair of charming eyes, in my mind, your figure can't be swayed', it made Miss He a little difficult to interpret, this guy didn't know how stinky it was when he first met, and he was afraid that if he sat closer, he would be hurt by what he did, but now he sings it like this, shouldn't this guy's performance be all pretended at the beginning, could it be that he began to like me at that time, it's really bad......
No matter what Miss He thinks or how she understands it, in short, she must have misunderstood the meaning of the first sentence. It wasn't because he respected the originality that he didn't change the lyrics of this song, but all he wanted to say was 'your eyes are beautiful', and there was no meaning that he had an idea when they first met, which was a misunderstanding.
He Chaoqiong is still immersed in the intoxicating world of "Love Must Be Done", but the six of them have already started the next song, this is the same Mandarin version of rock, from the first real punk singer in the Chinese rock industry He Yong's classic "Girl, Beautiful", which is also a song that He Yong is miserable.
In Mo Fei's opinion, He Yong is a singer who really has a rock soul and is one of the most suitable singers to play punk. His music is his personality, jumping when he wants, running when he wants, shouting hoarsely, or roaring with rage. There is even this slightly crazy mania, which can always release his own questioning and suspicion in hysteria, and the lyrics fall on some people's faces, and the smashed faces hurt.
In his music, whether it is the stubborn style of "Girl, Beautiful", the extremely decadent style and even the "Garbage Dump" and "Bell and Drum Tower" with a bit of revenge on society. Or "African Dream", which continues to praise the African savannah as a metaphor for social phenomena, in which the essence of punk rock can be seen everywhere and is most perfectly displayed. It's hard to say on a larger scale, but it's certain that He Yong is definitely the ancestor of punk in the Chinese music scene.
"Girl, Beautiful" is more direct and specific than Lao Cui. A work that expresses anger at a glance, when this song roars over the land of China, it brings a kind of blood boiling from the depths of consciousness caused by decadence. It was also this song that caused the most enthusiastic interaction in the audience at the "Rock and Roll Power" concert in '94, and He Yong used his intolerant musical attitude to make so many Hong Kong musicians reveal the current situation in the house. He is the king of punk in the Chinese music scene.
It wasn't until the last few shouts of this song that he woke up the eldest lady from a state of almost psychedelia, and he didn't know what this song was singing, but he saw everyone applauding excitedly, and he also raised his hands and clapped hard.
Mo Fei also knew that in the early days, he couldn't play too much, after all, this is Hong Kong, where Cantonese is the main language. Some things have to be done slowly, so the next step is to play Cantonese rock.
Beyond has a lot of popular songs, although not all of them are rock and roll, but the proportion of rock style is not small, and "Sea and Sky" is one of the most classic. In the big 6, until the 10s of the 21st century, there were many Chinese people who could only sing a Cantonese song. That's what they'll sing, and you can see the abyss of their spread and influence.
There are also many bands that have covered this song, and in the early 200s, more than 10 years after the song was released, it was also the best in the Asian a cappella scene. The famous a cappella group 'metro-voca1-group', known as 'Urban Choir' in Chinese, sang a cover in Cantonese to pay tribute to Huang Jiaju. (Note: Many people call this choir a subway band, but in fact, it is a wrong translation, they are not a band in essence, but a choir, and there is a big difference between the two.) )
Couldn't it be that this time he completely played out his own advantages, adjusting the temporary six-piece band to get older and more tacit and harmonious, and at the same time, he also successfully covered these classic rock songs almost perfectly, followed by He Yong's "Junkyard" and Black Panther's "donT-BReak-my-heaRT", both hands are enough to be called classic Mandarin rock, and the atmosphere of the entire practice room has never been lowered.
After the end of "donT-BReak-my-heaRT", Mo Fei saw that Zhang Guorong was also completely in the state and had a complete play, so he took out an English rock sheet behind him and said: "Shizai, how about you sing the next, you are studying in the UK, English must be difficult for you, and I just take a break." ”
"Me? To be honest, it's the first time I've played so hard today, and the more I get to the back, the more the charm of rock 'n' roll becomes, so well, I'll give it a try, maybe I'll show it to rock 'n' roll style after I sing it. Zhang Guorong took the score and looked at it, and went to the lead singer's microphone to familiarize himself with the lyrics, but he didn't know that Mo Fei's idea was to take him to the road of rock and roll, so that he could become an international singer who could walk between pop music and rock music at will.
"Don't-Cry", a divine comedy from the great Gun Flower that was originally intended to comfort girls, was later given the label of anti-terrorism. Instead of the angry and fierce punkism of the gun, he used the vicissitudes of life to show a sense of revolt, in order to achieve the effect of anger and calm.
And this extremely tender rock will always use intermittent drags and a long low sound at the end to completely show the heart-rending hidden in the depths. Although the title of the song is set as "Don't Cry", when I actually listened to it, I was already in tears, which can be called a classic among classic love songs.
This is the charm of rock and roll, Zhang Guorong is only singing this song for the first time, but it can't stop those who can understand the English lyrics of the song from being moved by this song, and unconsciously being taken to an imaginary scene, a beautiful girl is crying......
"Shizai, you sing well, you have a lot of rock taste." Mo Fei looked at the guys who were a little depressed outside. After listening to this song, there should be this kind of performance, and the most important thing now is to see what Zhang Guorong thinks.
Zhang Guorong really played hard, nodded and said with a smile: "Is it really good, then wouldn't I be able to show to the rock style?" Since you've said it's all right, I'll book this song in advance, and I'm going to put it on my next album. ”
The old brother is so proactive, it's too late to be happy. also smiled: "You are now a big name in famous music, how can I offend you, you said that you are going to go, it is better to use this song to test the water first, and take it to Europe to participate in the charts, if the response is very good." You're going to form a band. ”
Zhang Guorong is also sexually interested, after the two of them said a few more words on this issue, Mo Fei raised his hand and looked at the table below, and there were twelve songs in a row, and before he knew it, it was already past twelve o'clock at noon.
Clapped his hands and said, "Okay." Everyone worked hard today, but we also had a lot of fun, there are two more songs here, let's finish singing it, and then at noon I invite everyone to Yong Kee, and one of those present counts as one. ”
said that he took over the position of Zhang Guorong's lead singer, and when Zhang Guorong stood in the position of the second lead singer just now, he said: "Everyone can sing "The Internationale". If you can't sing, you at least know the tune, so we don't need to be familiar with this song, let's just come. ”
is another era of masterpieces, and the Tang Dynasty band can have such a solid foundation, and this song occupies a very heavy weight in it. The originally impassioned song was sung in a strong rock style by adding five chords and triplets. has achieved a 'scum work' that is destined to be criticized by proletarian defenders.
But it is this scum work that fully demonstrates the true meaning of rock and roll, and has almost become the ending song that all fledgling bands in the 90s in history must sing when they perform on stage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine comedy in the history of Chinese rock music.
It's like singing this 'absurd' rock music now. All the people at the scene were deeply shocked again, this guy is simply crazy, even this kind of song dares to change it, and then think about "Girl, Beautiful" and "Junkyard" just now, it feels normal, punk, isn't that what it looks like.
Finally, when it came to the last song, Mo Fei repeatedly emphasized that this soft rock should be played, and then began to play the guitar, and sang with the music: "I miss your laughter, I miss your coat,......, I miss your kisses and the faint smell of tobacco on your fingers......"
Originally, when Miss He first heard this song, her eyes were almost full of honey, but when she heard the "I miss your kiss and the faint smell of tobacco on my fingers", she immediately became confused. She thought that this song was also given to her, but she really didn't smoke, and the two of them hadn't kissed each other, so it wasn't herself at all, could it be that Mo Fei wrote it to a woman who loved to smoke before?
It's also unlucky, what kind of kiss or something like that will be easily brought over, but as soon as the tobacco smell comes out, it immediately makes people have a little more imagination, and everyone will want to be a little crooked, you must know that no one has heard Xin Xiaoqi's original song at this time, he is the original singer here, can it be okay.
Could it be that he is a man after all, no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to extend infinitely on one or two lyrics, let alone think that Miss He is entangled in her heart because of that lyric. If he looked up at He Chaoqiong's expression now, he would know that Miss He's eyes had changed from sweet to aggrieved.
Although I didn't see the expression of drinking tea and searching for poverty, I also showed the problem of my lyrics in time, what is this, the lyrics sung like this are too feminine, and I just emphasized that others should be serious, so I messed up first.
Immediately stopped his accompaniment first, and said a little embarrassed: "Stop, stop, stop, I'm really sorry, I sang the female version just now, I'm sorry, let's do it again." ”
The music sounded again, and after passing through the door, Mo Fei added two points of caution and sang: "I miss your smile, I miss your beauty...... I miss your kiss and the smell of light perfume in my ears ......", the coat was changed to beauty, the white socks were changed to plaid stockings, the smell on the body also became the head, and the light tobacco on the fingers was replaced with a light perfume in the ear, and now it was finally no problem.
Women's minds are very complicated, and sometimes they are very simple, could it be that they inadvertently said such a male version and a female version, and changed the lyrics, He Chaoqiong's mood immediately improved, and even blamed himself a little, why do you think so much, it really shouldn't be, how could he sing a song to other women at this time, and he simply forgot that the first song was sung to Honggu.
Just when He Chaoqiong's mind turned back to sweetness again, and her eyes were full of tenderness and were about to condense honey, Mo Fei finally finished singing the last song. After instructing the staff on how to put these songs on the plate, how to classify them, etc., they went to eat with a large number of people, and it was almost a little bit at this time, and they were really hungry.
Everyone at the scene, including Mo Fei himself, didn't expect that it was this fourteen-song album that began to circulate in Hong Kong rock circles soon after, and then spread to the entire Chinese rock circle. Every veteran rock fan is proud to own this unpublished album, and he tries to find a friend who has a replica to rip one, even if it's a tape, but it's still hard to find.
Many years later, the influence of this disc has become stronger and deeper, and it was even regarded as the most critical milestone in the history of Hong Kong rock music, and even in the history of Chinese rock music......
This disc, which is destined to be snatched by rock fans in the future and is proud of Chinese rock, landed silently!
