"Major stations such as Times Square, Broadway, and Washington Square on the New York subway were forced to suspend operations, and the surging crowds paralyzed subway traffic, and the city hall was forced to temporarily decide to close the relevant stations to clear the crowds. More than 100,000 citizens gather on the main streets of Manhattan Island, with Rockefeller Plaza as the center, and the main record stores are in danger of being overwhelmed......

"Chicago residents choose to bike to work, and 'after that party a month ago, I'm completely ready,' said Mr. Hayes, who works near the Sears Building. Today, in order to welcome the final showdown of the battle of the century, the traffic on the main street in the center of the city is completely congested, and the surging crowd makes the car look like clumsy and stupid bricks, according to incomplete statistics, more than 100,000 citizens have joined this duel......"

It was a super-faction that had never been seen before or since, and ten major cities in the United States mobilized a wave of more than a million people on the morning of the 28th alone. A million people! In just three hours in the morning, more than a million people surrounded the major record stores, lining up to pull out their pockets to join the ultimate showdown, and the dense and surging crowds became the signature scene of every city, a miracle that was almost impossible to replicate, and the traffic in the major cities was completely paralyzed.

Even though the municipalities were fully prepared for traffic control, they were ill-prepared in the face of exaggerated situations that exceeded expectations. In fact, no one can be prepared because this is a showdown that refreshes history, changes history, and pushes history.

On September 23, the shocking queue in front of the record line amazed the world; On October 28, the crowd of people in the city destroyed everyone's traditional beliefs.

Even the best sociologists, the most professional musicologists, and the best entertainment journalists could not have predicted today's pomp; Even if one has seen the sensation of September 23, it is impossible to describe today's revelry in precise words - or rather, it is precisely because of the madness of the first day of the first battle that today's even better scene has a doubling impact. No flowery rhetoric can describe the shock and strength of the surging crowd, no vivid words can describe the grandeur and power of the surging enthusiasm, and even if the camera lens is truly recorded, it is still difficult to believe one's eyes.

The final showdown has ushered in a frenzy on the first day of the unveiling, perhaps, the new single sales record set on September 23, will be overtaken by the album sales wave in just 35 days, this is the best era, belongs to the era of stars shining, belongs to the era of music lovers carnival, belongs to the era of American music to regain its glory; It is also an irreplaceable era, with the folk songs of the sixties, the rock of the seventies, the disco of the eighties, and the nineties blooming.

Ten thousand empty alleys! Ten thousand empty alleys! Ten thousand empty alleys! It is even doubtful that a third of the American population has flocked to the main streets of major cities to become part of the ultimate showdown, and the vigorous scene is reminiscent of Independence Day.

In the opening game, Mariah Carey and the Oasis band have done everything they can, just hoping to take the lead - just like the first day of competition a month ago, Maria and the Oasis band both know the importance of snatching Normandy, and even more deeply know the importance of publicity, and if they want to win the ultimate showdown, they must have an advantage in the first round of publicity and seize the commanding heights of the momentum battle. Thus, this is the unprecedented feast of October 28th!

From the current point of view, Maria is slightly better, but the fan offensive of the Oasis band is no less impressive, and the next plot development is more and more exciting.

Both Maria and Oasis showed confidence in the imminent victory of the ultimate showdown, and people couldn't help but have more expectations for the next showdown, and the publicity war was already so hot, so the sales war and the word-of-mouth war were bound to not disappoint, but soon people realized that something was wrong: because the glory of one of the Iron Triangle was so glorious that there was no movement until death.

At first, people thought that EMI Records was brewing a big event, and planned to "bathe in the morning light" like the beginning, but there was no movement until the day of the album's release, which exceeded everyone's imagination and was born in a shocking manner. But this time, until the 28th, there was still no movement on EMI Records, and Maria and the Oasis Band set off a frenzy in the two most important cities in the United States early, as expected, so that the contrast was too unusual for the peaceful glory to death.

Surrounded by more than 400 fans, the Oasis Bowl left the Rose Bowl and headed to San Francisco to prepare for the next week's concert tour: a move tantamount to a war between the two armies, one side was defeated without a fight, voluntarily surrendering the white flag to the Oasis band, and Glory to Death left San Francisco.

Such a pattern really made the uncrowned kings confused, and they couldn't understand what was going on at all.

But soon, the pattern cleared the fog and glimpsed the true face hidden behind the thick fog.

After three consecutive nights of heat at the Rose Bowl, the nation was in a "storm" of glory to death, and the ticket markets in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle went on a buying spree – as expected. And the opening day of the ticket market in these three places is precisely - Monday, October 28th!

This is the strategy of EMI Records, they clearly know the itinerary of glory to death, to be precise, they arranged the release time of the album "Storm", which is purposeful, specially arranged for the next Monday after the Los Angeles tour, obviously planning to use the concert craze to drive the topic effect, and then achieve the purpose of promoting the new album.

This time, EMI Records handed over the trust to the glorious and deathly concert control ability - 100,000 concerts! It shows the boldness of EMI Records, they actually chose to believe that glory to death can kill 100,000 people in seconds, and put the ultimate showdown such a heavy dà stage, pinning on the grand occasion of the Rose Bowl, I have to say that EMI Records' move is definitely a risky move!

The only surprise is that the two performances originally scheduled for Los Angeles were added because the audience was too enthusiastic, so that the next day after the concert was the release time of the new album, which also made Glory to Death have no time to hold a press conference for the new album in Los Angeles. Originally, EMI Records planned to postpone the press conference, but after learning of the plan to join forces with Creative Records and Universal Music, EMI Records simply moved the press conference to San Francisco after internal discussions, and focused all news resources on the promotion of the tour, but instead snubbed the three albums of Glory to Death.

Now, judging by the results, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Since the 25th, the national media has begun to focus on the grand occasion of the Rose Bowl, and the opening match of the Honor to Death World Tour has made a shocking appearance, whether it is the live performance of the band or the enthusiastic response of the audience, including the three new tracks sung by the band during the concert, which have become the focus of everyone's attention.

In the era of lack of Internet, even if the TV news is broadcast for the first time, the spread and precipitation of the news will take a certain amount of time, and the news preservation period and heat will be relatively long-lasting.

This has made the "Rose Bowl Wave" almost a phenomenon, and people have deeply felt the heat wave set off by the rock band's concerts, and the powerful influence has once again awakened people's nostalgia and call for rock 'n' roll in the 70s - an era full of faith.

On the morning of the 28th, Maria and the Oasis band's publicity campaign occupied almost all the important pages, but along with the ticket sales in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle, it attracted the attention of a large number of reporters early, and all tickets were sold out in less than 90 minutes, which pushed the popularity of the Honor to Death tour to a climax, and then promoted the decision of the live country to make the first phase of all tickets open for sale at the same time. The report of the "storm" spread out without showing weakness, setting off a storm that belongs to glory to death.

In the face of the strong propaganda of the competitors, the glory to death was braking quietly, and it was ingenious to fight a bloody way: relying on absolute strength to speak! The audience frenzy at the concert is the best proof of the band's strength, and the 100% attendance rate of the rose bowl with 100,000 people for three consecutive nights is a rare sight in recent years.

Surprisingly, in the overwhelming propaganda of Maria and the Oasis Band, almost everyone has a question mark in their minds: What about glory to death? The ultimate showdown is a confrontation between the Iron Triangle, where two contestants have already appeared, but what about the last and strongest contestant? This is called not playing but winning the appearance, glory to death in silence, actually using the propaganda methods of the two competitors to successfully occupy the head of every audience.

It was an accident, a beautiful accident, and the unexpected effect left everyone jaw-dropping, even EMI Records, even Sony Columbia Records and Universal Music, which they never expected. There is no other way but to smile wryly.

In the midst of this bustling, noisy, and vigorous, the ultimate showdown between you and me has officially entered the stage of history! .
