Chapter 1324: Adjust the pace

Was it difficult to make a third album? For Hugo, Neil, and Forkin, it is not difficult, and at this moment the three of them have accumulated more than 70 songs, of which at least one-third can be called good works, and it is not a problem at all to form an album; But for glory unto death, it is very difficult.

Glory to Death is not only a band, but also a rock band that carries the mind and soul of music through it, and the blood of this band is condensed by the understanding and dreams of the five members. If you just make a random album, it means that the soul of glory to death is dead, and even if the third album is successful in sales, the rock band will eventually be lost to the river of time, becoming a shooting star that glides across the sky.

In any field, there is always an endless stream of talents, and there are countless dazzling shooting stars, not to mention rock bands, even idol singers have been smash hits, such as the brilliant Macaulay Culkin, such as Justin Bieber, who was once on the lookout in 2010. Bieber), such as Edward Furlong, who made a splash in "Terminator 2" and then quickly disappeared. furlong), such as Superboy who appeared like a comet and disappeared like a comet, not to mention the "Fang Zhongyong" who frequently slipped into the sky in rock history, Shen Yun, razht, Oasis and so on.

Including the famous Smith Band and Nirvana Band, they can also belong to the ranks of meteors. Both bands have similar careers, releasing only four full-length studio albums, and the second album has propelled their careers to the pinnacle and left an indelible mark on the entire musical scene.

But after such a brilliant experience, the development entered a bottleneck, and the third album of the Smith band also won some praise, but unfortunately it was much inferior to the previous one, and it was disbanded soon after; And the trajectory of Nirvana is known to everyone, the brilliance of "Don't Mind" almost destroyed Kurt Cobain, and not long after the release of the fourth album, he chose to end his life.

Now, Glory to Death is also facing such a bottleneck, and not only Hugo.

The huge success of "Bathing in the Morning Light" has put the band members in different positions, the heat of the spotlight, the pursuit of the media, the cheers of the fans, the busyness of work, and the luxury of life...... This qiē and qiē have turned their lives upside down. As Hugo said, "almost famous" and "bathing in the morning light" actually reflect the real mood of the band at different points in time, different environments, and different situations, which are also the footprints of the band's growth.

Now, after a huge change in the mindset of the band members, the bottleneck of the third album is completely inevitable.

Although Neil and Fokine have been focusing on the creation of music, Hugo can clearly feel a little impetuousness in their music, because their life surrounded by magnesium lights is so impetuous; Pedro lingers on the major factions, singing night after night, and the young man who was worried that his skills would be holding back the band and kept polishing his guitar skills has gradually become lost in the neon lights of the night; Alfonso left the vanity fair of Los Angeles and was always out and about, with less and less contact with the band, and he and Hugo had not even spoken on the phone for more than three months, let alone met......

Hugo, of course, was no exception.

Hugo's words silenced everyone in the room, and Pedro writhed on the sofa with some uneasiness, adjusting his position several times but feeling that something was wrong, like sitting on pins and needles. In any case, today's chaos was detonated by Pedro in the final analysis, originally Pedro felt that his tardiness was nothing, but now he was raised to such a height by Hugo, which made Pedro feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey, man, things aren't that strict, right......" Pedro laughed dryly, but found that his heart was in a panic, he couldn't laugh at all, his face was outlined, but there was no smile in his eyes, only irritability and panic, "I think...... It's all good, isn't it? We're all really good, right? ”

Pedro's words were inevitably a little weak, in fact, deep down, he knew that Hugo was not joking.

As Pedro said, Glory to Death is now in its most wonderful phase, "Wonderwall" made history not long ago, "Apologize" forced Mariah Carey to kill all sides, "Morning Light" has been in the top 20 or even top 10 of the Billboard album chart for a long time, and the band has now surpassed the original Nirvana band in North America to become the pioneer of the new metal rock trend. It's changing the history of music.

Hugo's words are a bit alarmist.

Looking at Pedro's agitation, Neil raised his head and shook his head helplessly, "Pepe, when was the last time you picked up a bass?" ”

This sentence made Pedro even more irritated, he scratched his head in annoyance, and said uncertainly, "Last week, uh...... It should be ......" Sensing Fokin's sneering expression, Pedro's voice suddenly became louder, "It's really last week, on a pie, a ...... Uh, a chick wants to see me play bass......" In the end, Pedro automatically silenced himself and didn't continue after all.

Pedro's voice slowly faded away, and he couldn't help but droop his shoulders in frustration, all the irritability and panic settled, because he knew that Hugo was telling the truth.

"So, what do you think should be done?" Fujin broke the silence in the room with his mouth, and his expression lowered uncontrollably.

In fact, Fokine and Neil vaguely feel this way, they are not very satisfied with their recent creations, and the disputes have increased, and in the process of communicating with Hugo, Hugo's uncertainty about them has also begun to increase. It's just that the layer of window paper hasn't been pierced, and they can't say why.

Hugo slumped on the back of the sofa and rubbed his faintly aching temples, "I don't know, if I know what to do, this is not called a bottleneck, I will go directly to execute." ”

The bottleneck of music creation is actually the same as acting, what is needed is the change of Hugo's mood and the touch of inspiration, which requires timing and luck, just like "death row walk". But when it comes to music creation, Hugo really can't do it.

Hugo's words were really discouraged, and Neil slowly leaned back in his chair and fell silent; Fokine leaned forward to support his chin, his eyes staring blankly ahead. There was a brief noise in the room, and then there was silence again.

Hugo looked at his teammates and couldn't help but smile wryly. In fact, Hugo has always believed that the bottleneck is a very personal problem, which can also be regarded as a psychological problem, which is why he has never told his teammates, he does not want to demoralize the whole band. It was only after today's events that Hugo knew that not only him, but the entire band was currently in a bottleneck.

With a long exhale, Hugo sat up straight again, and said with a chuckle, "Cheer up, but it's nothing, we had enough time to prepare the third album, at least for the next year." So, we can take our time to prepare. ”

"So what if we still haven't found a breakthrough after a year?" Pedro asked uneasily.

Hugo's smile was even bigger, "That proves that we're really just a shooting star." These words made Pedro directly speechless, and glanced at Hugo with resentment, but made Hugo laugh directly, "If we still have that passion and desire for music in our hearts, if we still firmly believe in 'glory to death', then we will not be reduced to mediocrity, and we will make a breakthrough sooner or later." ”

This is what Hugo believes in the most, "Therefore, what we need to do is to adjust our pace, let ourselves break away from the current flowers, find our original dreams and persistence, and find the sharpness and courage that glory to death." ”

It's just that this time everyone didn't get excited by Hugo's words, and everyone fell into their own thoughts. Glory to Death has been running wild for two and a half years since its formation, sprinting to where they are now, and they really need a little time to buffer and buffer. This is a marathon, not a 100-meter race, and as for whether you can reach the end of the marathon and what the results will be, this qiē is what glory to death is writing.

Looking at his thoughtful teammates, Hugo took a deep breath to cheer himself up, and then clapped his hands vigorously, "Don't be like this, we are not facing collapse or failure, and our expressions can still be cheerful." What do you think? What do we have for lunch? I'm hungry now, aren't Pepe and Neil hungry? You've just experienced intense physical movements, haven't you? ”

Hugo's words made Neil, Pedro and Foquin give him a roll of the eye at the same time, which made Hugo look depressed, and spread his hands helplessly, "I'm just stating the facts, if you don't like it, then I can't ......help it" Hugo was silent for a while, seeing that the three teammates still didn't plan to answer, even Pedro, who was usually the most lively, was depressed, Hugo could only sigh, "People who are willing to have lunch together, I think we can talk about the band, for example, just now at the charity event, I wrote a song, and there are still some flaws in the composition, but the song is still very much in line with the Glory to Death style, but I think it is a little less sharp. But in fact, it is also somewhat similar to the style of 'Lost Wall', maybe the audience will like it? ”

Hugo's words immediately made the three of them come to their senses, and Fujin couldn't wait to ask, "Is there a name?" ”

Hugo pursed his lips, did not speak, stood up and walked in the direction of the door, then opened the door, and turned back and said, "I will now name it 'Waiting.' on。 the。 world。 to。 ge)’。 With that, he walked straight away.

Fokine was the first to jump up and rush in the direction Hugo had left, followed by Pedro, and Neil was not to be outdone.
