1446. Chapter 1446 - Continued Absence
Pedro stood on the red carpet looking a little uneasy, and Alfonso, who was standing on the side, seemed to sense his nervousness, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it's no different from usual." The words caused Pedro to let out a long breath, buckle the second button of his suit, and walk side by side with Alfonso.
At this time, the two members who appeared on the red carpet were the two members of the glory to death, Pedro and Alfonso, but unlike before, it was just the two of them, and there was no Hugo, Neil and Fogin.
In fact, this is not unusual, although Glory to Death is a band, but when the band is not active, they are all independent individuals, each member has their own life, if not as prosperous as Hugo's career as an actor, but it cannot be ignored.
Just like the Nirvana band, Kurt Cobain's light alone occupies almost everyone's attention, and even many people who don't know rock and roll directly equate Kurt with Nirvana, but in fact, Dave Grohl, Path Smail and others also have their own lives and careers, and the Spitfire Band they have formed now is the best proof of this.
Usually, except for Hugo, the other four members also attend some public occasions to a greater or lesser extent, and it is not surprising to see Pedro and Alfonso today. It's just that this is the Grammy, the most topical music festival in the United States, and the fate of Glory to Death and Grammy is difficult to explain clearly, and all along, Glory to Death has appeared in the image of a team in the Grammys, and today it was only two members who came hand in hand, which really surprised the reporters on the scene.
Of course, the more important reason is Hugo's absence, which is frustrating news for everyone.
Pedro and Alfonso stood in front of the reporters, and as a matter of course, they were asked about Hugo, and Alfonso immediately smiled on his face, "Look, I just said, the first question of the reporters must be related to Hugo, and now Neil owes me a quarter of a dollar." This made the reporters chuckle.
"When Hugo returned to Los Angeles, he immediately threw himself into the film, and he's already a lot behind schedule." Usually when Glory to Death appears, it is Neil who is in charge of the official answer, but today it was Alfonso who took over the initiative, which made many reporters shine, "Hugo also expressed great regret for his absence from tonight's awards ceremony, and Pepe and I are ready to call Hugo on the follow-up duì to make him envious." ”
Hearing Alfonso's relaxed words, Pedro's tension was also resolved, and he gradually regained his usual lively and active personality, "Neil and Fokine are now in New York, and they probably want to envy us." ”
Hugo was filming "Independence Day" on the set, and Neil and Forkine were on their way to New York to visit Sheeran Raikkonen, the makers of their first two albums, and finally Pedro and Alfonso appeared on top of the Grammys, for the new album.
What does this mean exactly?
The first thought in the minds of the reporters was: Glory to Death has started infighting, behind the band's booming career, but there is a strict imbalance in the personal development of the five members, especially Hugo's long-term focus on the filming of the film, Glory to Death has not held a tour at present, and the preparation of the third album has not been carried out for a long time, which is bound to lead to disputes between the members.
There are countless stories about the inside of rock bands, and almost every band can't avoid it, because the band members are all individuals, thoughtful, conscious, and desired. With the rise and fall of the band's achievements, communication between members is crucial, and there are countless bands that have parted ways because of differences of thought.
How can glory unto death be an exception?
Although it can be known from the words of Pedro and Alfonso that the band members had a conversation about the Grammys, and the two of them attended as representatives, which was also recognized by the band members, ...... Journalists won't believe this rhetoric.
It's like every time a celebrity couple or celebrity couple is exposed by a reporter that there is a relationship crisis, both of them will deny it in unison, and even collectively appear in public to show affection, but the truth of the truth is only known to them themselves - maybe the exact news of their relationship breakdown will come out soon.
Therefore, reporters will never let go of this news.
Sure enough, the day after the Grammy Awards, in addition to the news about the list of winners, the news of the internal division of Glory to Death began to fly all over the sky, not only one media predicted, as many as nine media reported on it, and the subsequent 48 media reprinted it reached 24 media, and the whole news was in an uproar.
Relying on the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" to reach the glory of the pinnacle of his career to death, every move is the focus of the market's attention, and it was once again proved at the just-concluded 38th Grammy Awards. Although the biggest winners of this year's Grammys were Hill, who was swept by "Kiss of the Rose", and Alanis, who reached the peak with "Little Broken Pill", she still won two gramophone trophies until she died.
"Wonderwall" first won the award for Best Rock Song in the rock department, beating Bob Dylan, Neil Young, U2 Band, and Alanis Molisette; Later, in the competition for comprehensive awards, they defeated "Rose Kiss", "You Are Not Alone", "You Should Know", and "One of Us" to win the Best System of the Year Award!
This is also the second step of Hugo's reliance on "Beautiful" last year. day)", won the award for the best production of the year for the second year in a row, which is also the best affirmation of Hugo's identity as a songwriter.
Last year, he won three gramophone trophies in glory to death, which established the position of rock in the mainstream market in one fell swoop; This year, the glory to death relied on the single "Labyrinth" to win two gramophone trophies again, ushering in the golden age of rock and roll.
Among the four major general categories, three categories were dominated by rock, the best album of the year was taken away by Alanis's "Little Broken Pill", the best newcomer of the year was unexpectedly attributed to the band Owl and Pufferfish, the best production of the year was won by Hugo with "Maze Wall", and only the best single of the year went to Hill's "Rose Kiss", which was divided into the pop department.
Among these four awards, the best newcomer of the year is undoubtedly a big upset, the new metal rock band Owl and Puffer Fish defeated strong competitors, defeated Alanise, who won a total of three trophies, and also defeated Shania, whose album sales are infinitely approaching 10 million, and rose strongly as a dark horse. Of course, it can also be considered that although Alanis's "little broken pill" is excellent, it does not reach the sweeping Cheng dù.
Even so, the new metal rock still won the battle at this year's Grammys, and people couldn't help but sigh: if Glory to Death turns out this year, will they be able to win the Newcomer of the Year award? Of course, this assumption itself has no meaning, because without glory to death, there would be no new metal rock today.
On top of that, it's worth mentioning that Mariah Carey went home empty-handed, with Pearl Sauce and Nirvana each winning their first Grammy Trophy – Nirvana defeated Spitfire to take home Best Alternative Music Album.
There is no doubt that when the Grammys came to an end, Glory to Death was once again in the spotlight, and Hugo's absence, Pedro and Alfonso as representatives attended, made the topic rise to a new level, and everyone was discussing: Is Glory to Death, who has reached its peak, ushered in a turning point for the band and is in danger of falling apart?
Everyone knows that internal divisions among band members are often more lethal than the fluctuations in their careers. Because there is no inspiration for music creation, you can still find or ask for help from others; If your career declines, you can rely on the next album to turn the tide again...... But there was a split between the band members, things were not that simple, the human heart was not a simple math problem, and trust was not furniture that could be reused after being tied with duct tape.
In an instant, with the Grammys talking about it, to everyone's surprise, the news of the internal disagreement of Glory to Death began to boil, even more lively than the Golden Globes and the Berlin Film Festival - after all, the gossip within the band is always a more suitable topic for discussion after dinner.
Neil and Forkin, who were far away in New York, were immediately surrounded by reporters.
Neil, as the band's captain, officially denied the news, "Originally, Fokine and I thought it was too ridiculous to explain it. But yesterday when we were having dinner in the olive garden, someone actually asked me personally, which made me really cry and laugh. So I thought, we need to explain, after all, we're not 'anonymous' anymore, are we? Neil's words were light-hearted, "Pepe and Alfonso are at the Grammys, it's a unanimous decision of our band, and it's a good thing that they're going to be there as the band's representatives. Of course, I absolutely don't know anything about the follow-up duì. ”
Hugo, who was filming in Burbank, still did not come forward for an interview, and his manager Joseph and agent Henry Bloom spoke on behalf of him, Hugo said that he had known about Pedro and Alfonso's attendance at the awards ceremony, and he had no objections, and that rumors of controversy within the band were all unfounded.
"Hugo told me that I must say this in front of all the reporters," Joseph paused here, and then looked at Henry, who was standing on the side, and smiled helplessly, which made the reporters' curiosity suddenly clamor, and then Joseph said, "Pepe, you went on stage to accept the award with your pants tucked into your socks, and did you and Alfonso choose the red carpet outfits based on the inspiration of 'Dumb and Agua'?" After speaking, Joseph raised his hands helplessly, "I'm sure that what he said just now was said by Hugo, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
