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 China with an unprecedented pop benchmark, and the first to be conquered were those who were very unsuitable for rock and roll, in fact, those people's ears were soft, in pop culture, especially the more 'alternative' rock culture at that time, it was easy to get confused with the buns.
To tell the truth, the real promoter of this song is not the musicians in the mainland, but the Hong Kong company that signed a contract with the Black Panther at that time.
If you put it in the late 10s of the 21st century before Mo Fei crossed over, this song is not a very mature work, but it does have the magic of making 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 when they hear it.
Although there are many not-so-positive, even negative, flavors in the essential meaning of this song, 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. It can't go against the emotion and shock of the heart. Cantonese is a dialect, and many words and colloquialisms simply can't show the explosiveness they deserve, while the Mandarin version of rock music is relatively much more extensive because of the text content covered. Therefore, it is more able to show the connotation of rock and roll. 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.
The reason why so many Mandarin versions of rock 'n' roll have been brought out is that in addition to the fact that Cantonese rock has a very narrow path, there is also the idea of focusing on mainland rock music, and everyone will know it from now on. Mandarin rock is much more powerful than Cantonese rock, and you need to make the right choice to move closer to that in the future.
Indeed, Hong Kong is very persistent and focused. Singers who insist on taking the path of authentic rock, but after all, it is only a very small number, look at how much music is made in Hong Kong in a year, and how many of them are rock. How many Cantonese rocks are among them? From the beginning of Cantonese music to the 21st century, it is a time travel. In the past 40 years, there has been an average of less than one song a year, so the problem is obvious when you look at it.
As for the mainland, starting from Lao Cui, the father of Chinese rock music in the 80s, to the three heroes of Moyan, the Tang Dynasty band, cobra, compass, overload, face, zero point, 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 of the wide audience base in the mainland. Even if it's just one thousandth of the base, it's a million. Some smaller 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 super bomb in the history of Hong Kong rock music, and shake those stupid and stubborn guys.
Even if "No Land for Self-Respect" is not a divine comedy, it is definitely a famous song, and after singing the 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 resting for a few minutes, the six of them all changed to a new score, and the next song to be sung is also Mandarin rock, the work of a famous rock singer in the mainland of Yiyang City, and one of Zheng Jun's most successful works "Elopement". When I changed the score before singing, I 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 sentences, and 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 song is not.
This one is not, when she poured down 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 was even 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 idea at all when they met for the first time, which was a misunderstanding.
He Chaoqiong is still immersed in the intoxicating world of "Love Has to Be Done", but the six of them have already started the next song, this is also a Mandarin version of rock, from the first real punk singer in the Chinese rock industry He Yong's super classic "Girl, Beautiful". It is also a song that made He Yong 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 you want, running when you want, shouting hoarsely, roaring with rage, and even this slightly crazy mania, you can always release your doubts and doubts in hysteria, and the lyrics fall in the faces of some people. The smashed face hurts.
In his music, whether it is the stubborn style of "Girl, Beautiful". "The Garbage Dump" and "Bell and Drum Tower", which are extremely decadent and even have a bit of revenge on society, or "African Dream", which continues to praise the African savannah as a metaphor for social phenomena, the essence of punk rock can be seen everywhere and is most perfectly displayed. It's hard to say on a larger scale. But that's for sure. He Yong is definitely the ancestor of punk in the Chinese music scene.
"Girl, Beautiful" is a work that is more direct and specific than Lao Cui, and expresses anger at a glance, when this song roars over the land of China, it brings a kind of blood boiling caused by decadence from the depths of consciousness. It was also this song that caused the most enthusiastic interaction in the audience at the "Rock and Roll Force" concert in 94, and He Yong used his intolerant musical attitude. Let so many Hong Kong musicians reveal the current situation in the house and obscene, he is the king of punk in the Chinese music scene.
Until the few shouts at the end of this song. I woke up the eldest lady from an almost psychedelic state, and I didn't know what this song was singing, but I saw everyone applauding excitedly, and I also raised my 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, a place where Cantonese is the main language, and some things have to be done slowly, so the next thing is to play another Cantonese rock song.
BEYOND has a lot of popular songs, although not all of them are rock, but the proportion of rock style is not small, and "Sea and Sky" is one of the most classic. In the mainland, until the 10s of the 21st century, there were many Chinese people who could only sing a Cantonese song, and they would sing this song, which shows the abyss of its spread and influence.
There are also many bands that have covered this song, and in the early 2000s, more than ten years after the song was released, it was also covered in Cantonese by the famous a cappella group 'Metro-Vocal-Group', the leader of the Asian a cappella scene and known as 'Urban Choir' in Chinese, as a tribute to Huang Jiaju's classmates. (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 has completely brought out his own advantages, adjusting the temporary six-member band to get older and more tacit and harmonious, while also successfully covering these classic rock songs almost perfectly, followed by He Yong's "Junkyard" and Black Panther's "DONT-BREAK-MY-HEART", the two 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 score behind him and said: "Shizai, how about you sing the next song, you are studying in the UK, English must be difficult for you, and I just need to take a break." ”
"Me? To be honest, it's the first time I've played this hard today, and the more I get to the back, the more I discover the charm of rock 'n' roll, so well, I'll give it a try, maybe I'll develop into a rock 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 song from the great Gunhua 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 song 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", you can actually listen to it. found that he had already burst into 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 before they know it, they are taken to an imaginary scene, a beautiful girl is crying......
"Shizai, you sing well, you have a lot of rock taste." Could it be that he looked at the guys who were a little depressed outside, this song should have this kind of performance after listening to it, 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." Wouldn't I be able to move to rock 'n' roll? Since you've said it's all right, then I've booked 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, and he smiled and said: "You are now a big name in famous music, how can I offend you, you said you were going to go." It's better to test the water with this song first. Take it to Europe to participate in the charts, and if the response is good, you can 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, and he immediately finished singing the remaining two songs quickly. It's time for a meal at noon.
Clapped his hands and said, "Okay, everyone has worked hard today." But I 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 his second lead singer just now, he said: "Everyone can sing "The Internationale", and those who can't sing at least know the tune, we don't need to be familiar with this song, let's come directly." ”
is another masterpiece of the times, the Tang Dynasty band can have such a solid foundation, and this song occupies a lot of weight in it. The original impassioned song was sung in a strong rock style by adding five chords and triplets, and it was sung in a strong rock style, achieving a 'scum work' that was 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.
Just like now I sang this 'absurd' rock music, all the people at the scene were deeply shocked again, this guy is simply crazy, even dare to change this kind of song, and then think about "Girl, Beautiful" and "Junkdump" just now, I think it's 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 song should be played, and then began to play the guitar, opening his mouth to sing with the music: "I miss your laughter, I miss your coat,......, I miss your kisses and fingers and the faint smell of tobacco......"
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 her own at all, was this Mo Fei written 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 and develop infinitely in 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 found a problem with 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 of the body was also changed to hair, and the light tobacco on the fingers was replaced with a light perfume in the ears, and it was finally no problem.
A woman's mind is very complicated, and sometimes it can be very simple, Mo Fei inadvertently said such a male version, 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, how can he sing a song to other women at this time, 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 unreleased album, and he or she is trying 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 more and more powerful and deep, 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! (To be continued......)
