Chapter Eighty-Five: Before VGL

The last day of October was the day of the 1984 VGL concert.

After initial negotiations between Caesar and the City of Pasadena's Rose Bowl Authority, the Rose Bowl Stadium was selected as the designated venue for the VGL concert.

That said, if nothing else, the VGL concert will be held at the Rose Bowl Stadium every year in the future.

This is great news for California fans and players, and people in other states can only pinch their noses and admit it, who made Caesar a Californian?

However, when players and fans across the country saw the guest introductions of this year's VGL on TV commercials, no one could stop them from buying tickets to enter the venue, no matter how far away.

In addition to VGL veteran "Ship Smith" retained, Eagles, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Pandora.

In addition to established bands such as Pink Floyd and the Eagles, Caesar is focusing on three budding bands, Pandora, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bon Jovi.

Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bon Jovi have both released at least one album and are well-known in the United States, while Pandora is a complete newcomer and has written a lot of tunes, but in Caesar's memories of his previous life, Pandora's first album was released in 1988.

So now Pandora is still pink and pink in the eyes of the public, and only some people in the underground rock circle know what this talented band is.

In what Caesar said to Stephen Taylor, every year VGL should try to find some bands that have just debuted but have great potential to recommend, so as to make the rock circle more dynamic.

It is always some old faces and old styles that will make the internal competitiveness of the rock circle insufficient, and eventually lead the entire circle to lose its vitality and decline.

This is not Caesar slapping his head to say nonsense, after the millennium in his memory, the most mentioned by rock fans born in the **10s are still active in the **10s MJ and a group of rock bands.

As for the rock stars of the sixties and seventies, it may only be the music fans who were born in the seventies who still talk about it.

After the turn of the millennium, not only did rock 'n' roll completely lose its rock 'n' roll spirit, but film and television also entered a state of polarization.

Either it's entertainment to death, an empty visual feast, or an obscure pretending to be stupid.

Movies like "The Shawshank Redemption", "Pulp Fiction", "Truman's World", "Alive", "Schindler's List", "Forrest Gump" are no longer available after the millennium.

After the turn of the millennium, the world entered an age of spiritual barrenness.

Among young people, visual blockbusters have replaced the spiritual food of elegance and vulgarity, and youth groups dominated by dogs in fat pants have replaced rock masters with musical instruments in their hands.

It doesn't matter if it's plastic surgery, as long as you look beautiful and handsome, even if you are obviously out of tune when singing alone, you can be an idol star. As long as someone spends a lot of money on packaging hype, everything is possible.

The biggest problem after the millennium is that it is too easy to ------ the title of star, and there are too many so-called stars who seem to be worth hundreds of millions, but in fact have no real skills.

As for not being able to compose lyrics and music? Amateur instrumental playing or even an air guitar? Who cares?

Caesar was afraid of such times, he was afraid that after the millennium, when the bands like Aerosmith and the others were old, there would be no music worth listening to.

So Caesar decided early on to maximize the influence of VGL, so that the taste of the player base and rock fans can be passed on and expanded from generation to generation.

After careful calculation, after the emergence of "Backstreet Boys", the world has completely entered the era of mass production of "packaged stars".

He's going to kill the "Backstreet Boys" and the "hot" and "superboys" before they appear.

Can't compose lyrics and music? Only singing and dancing? So you want to rely on a youth group to make your debut?

OK!

But if it can't reach more than half of the level of the five Jackson brothers, don't think about becoming popular.

Youth groups always mean that there are people who are indiscriminate, so the best people in those groups who sing and write well will always be indignant because their talents are averaged, and eventually go solo.

Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Robbie Williams, and even MJ all went solo and got rid of the mediocrity's share of their talents.

As early as the first VGL in 83, Caesar told the rockers led by the Aerosmith band about this possible situation, which caused the entire rock circle to question it.

In their words, "We are not afraid of being forgotten, as long as our spirit is passed on from generation to generation".

But now it seems that rock 'n' roll is still a thriving scene.

But there are still some people who believe in Caesar's "prophecy", and all the guests of the last VGL were Caesar's supporters.

Even if rock 'n' roll is shit, they want rock 'n' roll to be a piece of shit full of rebellion and questioning spirit against life and authority, and not end up being a tool for capitalists and government fools.

Authentic rock music around the world has been suppressed by the government, either explicitly or covertly, including the death of Lennon, and there are many government conspiracy theories.

This kind of music form that exports "questioning" and "resistance" to the people will be a hell of a ghost if it can be treated by the government.

So, after a year of phone calls and letters, as well as countless gatherings, a handful of rockers in Britain and the United States began to operate underground.

The Mesozoic era of rock began an activity with the theme of "hot seniors, new talents", and Caesar was elected as the planner and executor of the event.

No one objected to this decision, and now is no longer the time to prioritize seniority. Let the so-called rock people who are only interested in alcohol, drug powder and women, and only like to talk about seniority, fend for themselves.

Red Chili Peppers, Pandora and Bon Jovi are the newcomers voted for by this handful of rockers to market as the seeds of their legacy.

The three bands that received the news were simply crazy, and Bon Jovi's lead singer, Jon Bon Jovi, was as excited as if he were in the clouds when he saw Caesar.

Upon closer inspection, Jon Bon Jovi is a big player and avid fan of Caesar. He can literally write BGM scores for every level in all of Caesar's games......

Upon learning of this, Caesar was speechless for a long time in shock.

It is said that among the musicians of the decade, there are ten talented people**, and now looking at the excited Bon Jovi in front of him, Caesar really doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

It's no wonder that the guy with an excited face in front of him can make hundreds of thousands of people cry at a concert...... When talent reaches a certain level, it's really devastating for people with mediocre talent.

Thanks to my goldfinger! Caesar wiped his sweat secretly.

If it weren't for the global number jùku from the previous life as a golden finger, Kaisa Hikaru would have to show his stuff in front of these people without a single round with the advantage of rebirth.
