Chapter 1526: Flammable Artillery Battle
72_72291 Henry has never been a hard-working man, even when he followed them all the way from Memphis to New York in order to sign a contract with Glory to the death, Henry was dragging his feet and lazily falling behind, as long as he did not completely lose the trace of Glory to Death.
Road trips were even torture for Henry, who on his last "Road to Glory" tour, gave almost all of his work to a professional tour manager, who just followed the band and spent most of his time resting.
Therefore, when Hugo invited Henry to join them on this road tour, Henry didn't even think about it and directly refused.
However, after hanging up the phone, the more Henry thought about it, the more irritated he became, he couldn't figure it out, and finally he could only blame Hugo's damn shocking ideas, even after listening to Hugo's detailed explanation, he still couldn't fully understand, not only from a commercial point of view, Hugo's idea was simply a bomb in the record market, and no one would buy it; At the same time, it is also a concern for the third album of Glory to Death, and everyone knows that countless pairs of eyes are now staring at the third album of Glory to Death. So, Henry knew that he had to figure out what was going on, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get the job going.
After deciding to travel, Henry began to struggle, as long as he thought of traveling, he had to do a good job of mental construction for a long time, and after hesitation, he came up with a good idea. Henry made a straight phone call to Roger Farson.
Now Roger has been promoted to become the manager of EMI Records' North American distribution, although on the surface it seems that he has only been promoted from assistant manager to manager, but Roger's power has been turned upside down.
Roger's most successful decision in North America is undoubtedly Glory to Death, and Glory to Death almost single-handedly opened the door to North America for EMI Records; Moreover, Burberry, also from the British Isles, also accompanied Hugo to the peak step by step; Not to mention, EMI Records has been eyeing Michael Jackson's record contract, and Michael's contract with Sony Records is about to expire, and at that time, all possibilities will be opened, and EMI Records also hopes to be competitive enough - no one will forget that Michael chose Endeavour Elite because of Hugo.
Therefore, Roger now attaches more importance to Glory to Death, even after the last signing a year, Glory to Death has never released a new album, and EMI Records has never crossed that line - Roger also knows that the more brilliant Hugo's film career is, it will also help Glory to Death's music career.
When he received Henry's call, Roger was not surprised, "Did you call because of the Oasis Band?" Don't worry, we'll figure it out. ”
"The Oasis?" Henry was stunned instead, which made Roger pause as well, "You're not because of Noel. gallagher) just called? ”
Knoll Gallagher? Henry thought about the name, and then it came to mind, it was the name of the lead singer of the band Oasis. Oasis is arguably one of the bands that rose to prominence in 1994, and last year they became the most influential band in the British Isles.
1993 is known as the year of the revival of American rock, and at the same time, British rock, which had been dormant for many years, also revived again, from the Goatskin Band to the Radiohead Band, from Shen Yun to Carberry, British rock and roll rose strongly, and together with American rock and roll constituted a global rock wave.
In this wave, the goatskin band is undoubtedly at the forefront, while the Stain Band and the Oasis Band can be called the mainstay, the Stain Band is the representative of the new wave of British rock, and the Oasis Band is a retro charm of British rock during the Beatles period, and these two bands have become the representatives of the turbulent wave of British rock.
Tainted are known as representatives of the middle class, and they formed in 1989 and traveled back and forth for many years, until their third album in 1994 really achieved glory; Oasis is considered to be a representative of the working class, and it was not until 1993 that they completed their current composition, and when they released their debut album in 1994, they soared to the sky.
In August 1995, the "British Rock Wars" between Stain and Oasis were widely regarded as a sign of a full-scale global recovery of rock and roll, and in the end, Stain won the singles sales and Oasis had the last laugh in the album sales competition a few months later.
At present, the influence of Stain and Oasis in the United States can be said to be very strong, in the wave of new metal rock, the majority of rock fans have opened their minds and accepted the new rock force from the other side of the Atlantic, and the entire American music market is lively.
However, there are other reasons why Henry remembers the Oasis band, when he participated in the Junjie Music Festival in Glory to Death, he was enthusiastically followed, but there were some minor frictions with the Oasis Band, although it was not a big deal, but at that time, Noel Gallagher and his own brother Liam Gallagher made a lot of nonsense during the later tour, and they were quite disdainful of Glory to Death. I didn't pay attention to this matter until I died, but as an agent, Henry left some impressions.
In fact, in the rock circle, there are often outspoken and stumbling things, but most of them are hidden behind the scenes, such as the feud between Guns N' N' N' and the Rose and Nirvana band, which has been circulating in the circle for a long time. But Oasis is a little different.
The two Gallagher brothers are famous for their artillery battles, burning at one point, using foul language and fierce words, offending many people, they don't care at all about directly slandering others in public, so they have made a lot of enemies, and even the two brothers are arguing endlessly, mercilessly, and finally the Oasis Band disbanded a large part of the reason is because the two brothers tore their faces, and even escalated to the brawl, so that the other members of the band were miserable, after changing the band members several times, In the end, the smash hit Oasis band was disbanded in pieces.
Last August, the Stain and Oasis faced off in large part because they attacked each other, and later the Gallagher brothers even said in a news interview that they hoped that the members of the Stain would infect Ai. Multiply. The death of an illness caused an uproar, which caused an uproar, which made the band Stain deliberately delay the release of their single in order to face off against the Oasis band.
Despite their poor character, Oasis' talent is undeniable, and they released two albums in 1994 and 1995 respectively, which received numerous cult following, and many people believe that they inherited the poetry of the Beatles that is exclusively British.
Not long ago, the Gallagher brothers of the Oasis band aimed their guns at Glory to death, and Noll thought in an interview that "Hugo is a bad actor, a bad singer, he should have gotten his current results after he had a certain Zuò people, as for the gender ...... of the Zuò people" Noel pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, and did not continue to speak.
Later, Liam also said, "Glory to death? They're all dead, the last time they released an album was a century ago, their so-called new metal rock is just rubbish, and now they don't have any talent at all, so the third album can't be released for a long time. Who knows, maybe they went to Kurt Cobain, aren't Hugo and Kurt good friends? ”
The interview wasn't huge, it was just an interview with a small music magazine specializing in it, so it didn't attract a lot of attention, but it still made quite a splash between real rock fans and insiders, not only because you and the Gallagher brothers attacked Glory to the Death, but also because they insulted the late Kurt Cobain. For the history of American rock music, Cotter's position is difficult to shake, and even more difficult to replace, even if Hugo is now in the ascendant, it still cannot replace Coater's huge influence.
This incident has caused a lot of controversy, and there are actually some supporters. Along the way, there are still true rabid rock supporters who dismiss Honor to Death, and they always consider neo-metal rock to be an insult to authentic rock, so they also agree with Gallagher's view. Not to mention the Oasis fanatics who are a staunch supporter of the Gallagher brothers.
Therefore, how to deal with the aspect of glory to death has also attracted a lot of attention.
However, everyone also knows that Hugo has disappeared in the past month, and it is not surprising that Hugo did not come out to respond, Roger originally planned to let EMI Records deal with this matter, like the Gallagher brothers who made a big fuss in front of the media, with Hugo's personality must be ignored, whether it is in the music industry or in the film industry, there are always people who don't like Hugo, this kind of groundless scolding, if you respond one by one, it is estimated that there is no time to even sleep. What's more, there is nothing new in the words of the Gallagher brothers, they are almost accompanied by glory to death all the way, and there is no need to deliberately respond.
Therefore, Roger hopes to use the power of EMI Records to make the media ignore the past, after all, it is not a big deal, and it will disappear in a short time.
Henry naturally knew about it, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, Glory to Death needed to focus on himself, otherwise even without the Oasis Band's swearing, they could destroy themselves by themselves, and now Glory to Death is back on track, this is the most important thing, "No, you can solve this matter, I don't have any problems here." ”
Henry's answer resolved Roger's doubts, "Trust me, we'll figure it out." So what are you calling me for today? ”
"Roger, interested in joining a journey full of magic? Perhaps, you can learn more about the third album of Honor to Death in the works. Henry, the old fox, only took two words to make Roger excited.
The three episodes of Glory to Death have entered the preparatory stage? This is great news!
