1752.Chapter 1752 1752 Ten years of shackles
"Yay!" When Pedro heard Paul pronounce the name "Glory unto death", he stood up with his hands raised in the air, with the purest and brightest smile on his face, and even couldn't help but clench his fists and grit his teeth and cheer, expressing his joy and cheerfulness with his whole body.
Neil and Hugo looked at each other, and then they both reached out their right hands at the same time, shook each other, and bumped their right shoulders in celebration of their band's first Grammy for Best Rock Band.
This is a crucial moment for Glory to Death, as it is the band's first overall award since its inception.
On top of the previous Grammys, glory to death relied on "Beautiful. Day)" and "Wonderwall" won Best Rock Song and Production of the Year for two consecutive years, and the album "Bathing in the Morning Light" also won the 37th Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
However, none of these five gramophone trophies belong to the band "Glory to Death", but to their works. It's a subtle difference, as if Maryah Carey won two trophies for Best Female Rhythms and Blues Vocalist and Best Female Pop Vocalist tonight, but none of the awards were given to the album "Butterfly". The difference is something that only the singer himself can savor.
Today, Glory to Death won the band's first gramophone in the name of the whole, which means a lot.
Neil and Hugo both stood up and hugged their teammates to celebrate the historic moment. Even Fokine was rarely emotionally exposed at this time, and he saw him stand up, but he clenched his right fist tightly and raised it over his shoulder, and his fist seemed to be locking little by little, so that his right hand was swaying gently, but there was no special expression or movement other than that. It is such a simple action, but it vividly shows the true emotions of Fujin's heart. Even when Pedro and Hugo stepped forward to hug Forkine, he never changed his movements – not even the slightest waver.
The colleagues sitting around the glory to death all stepped forward to congratulate, and the Pumpkin Band was even happier than they were when they won the award, standing next to each other with smiles and smiling whistles, screams, and applause. At this time, the crushed pumpkin band, which was at the peak of their career, had no jealousy for their achievements of glory to death, only admiration. When Hugo's eyes were on with their lead singer Billy Cogan. Corgan, Billy gave Hugo a thumbs up and winked his right eye, which made Hugo smile widely.
The surrounding seats were so crowded that the five members of the glorious death were surrounded by a group of people who could not walk on the stage at all. The audience gave a standing ovation because everyone in the room knew exactly what it meant to win the Grammy for Best Rock Band for the first time in Glory to Death – the era of new metal rock had truly arrived.
This is a height that Nirvana and Pearl Sauce have not been able to reach during the grunge frenzy.
The Grammys have always honored traditional rock bands in the rock scene — since 1988, the Blacksmiths of the Air and the U2 have won the award three times each, and last year's winner, the Southern rock band Blues. Traveler), 1992 winner Bonnie Ritter. Raitt) and Delbert McClinton. McClinton), and the 1990 winner, Traveling. Wilburrys)。
- The Drifting Band is led by Bob Dylan, George Harrison of the Beatles. Harrison)、E。 L。 Jeff Linney of O. Lynne), Tom Petty, and Heartbreaker (Tom. Tom Petty of Petty > the Heartbreakers. Petty), Roy Orbinson. Orbison) and other five musical giants gradually limited temporary combinations.
All of these bands are heirs to traditional rock.
In other words, since the decline of rock in the late 70s, the Grammys have not honored pioneering rock bands, and traditional conservative attitudes have become locked down with the trough of rock 'n' roll. Until today, today's glorious victory has finally broken the shackles and made people see the true determination of the Grammys to reform and innovate.
It's not just an award.
Therefore, all the guests in the audience gave a standing ovation, not only for glory to death, but also for the revival of the rock wave.
"Hey guys, I've been waiting for a while." Paul's voice came through the microphone, which made the audience laugh, and the colleagues who surrounded them to the glory and death hurriedly moved out of the way, so that the winners could go on the stage to receive everyone's congratulations.
Pedro was the first to take the stage, taking the gramophone trophy from Paul, but then handing it over to Neil, the captain of the glory to death.
Paul gave Hugo a warm hug and patted Hugo on the shoulder, "Your work is amazing!" Then he let go of Hugo, and Hugo saw the kind smile of approval on Paul's face, and his eyes sparkled with joy from the heart. This made Hugo a little dazed, and he thought that he had seen it wrong, and when he came to his senses, Paul had already given up his place and handed over the stage to glory to death.
Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw Neil standing in front of him, Neil showed a bright smile to Hugo, and then took a step forward and walked to the microphone, "Thank you, thank you very much." Neil's voice was trembling slightly, although it was not obvious, but it still made people feel the turbulence in his heart, "As a member of the glory to death, it is my honor to stand on this stage." But I think that this trophy will be handed over to Hugo, hoping that he can make a more touching acceptance speech and redeem my embarrassment at this time. ”
Neil's words made everyone in the room chuckle, and then he took a step back and motioned for Hugo to step forward. Hugo waved his hand, this award belongs to glory to death, and Neil is the captain of the band, so it is natural for Neil to give a speech. As an individual, Hugo has won many recognitions at the Grammys; And today he is only one part of the glorious unto death.
But Neil had already moved out of the way, and then Hugo felt someone behind him push him, and when he looked back, it was Fokine. This made Hugo smile helplessly, but he didn't continue to refuse hypocritically, took two steps forward, and stood in front of the microphone.
Before he could stand firm, Neil stuffed the gramophone trophy into Hugo's hand, Hugo looked at it with wide eyes, but Neil stepped back without looking back, Hugo could only grab the trophy in his hand and teased into the microphone, "Why do I think this is like a trouble that everyone rejects." A joke made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
Hugo looked down at the trophy in his hand, the shape and color were not strange at all, but the weight in his hand was heavier than ever, he pursed his lips slightly, trying to organize the language, but he found that his brain was blank. Hugo originally thought that he wouldn't care, but when he really stood in this position, holding the trophy in his hand, the turmoil in his heart was still difficult to suppress. From the nobody of an underground rock band to the spotlight, it's really been too long.
"Before he took the stage, Neil asked me a question, 'How would we feel if we didn't win a trophy tonight?' I think maybe we're not destined to be legends like Queen, so maybe we can try to be glorious to death — the band that occasionally gets ignored and suddenly explodes — or the band that suddenly explodes and then disappears. ”
Hugo's ridicule made the guests in the audience already laugh crookedly, and Pedro, who was standing behind, even high-fived Neil directly. Hugo's words not only ridiculed the Grammys, who had never honored Queen, but also laughed at himself. This open-mindedness is admirable.
"I just received this trophy from Paul, which means a lot to me. Although I wouldn't say I grew up listening to Beatles, I liked the Led Zeppelin more than ever; But ......" Hugo's words were interrupted by applause and laughter, which forced him to pause before continuing, "but I must admit that I am very honored!" Thanks, Paul. ”
Hugo stood there and paused, he looked back at his teammates, hesitated for a second, "This is an award that belongs to the glory to death, logically speaking, I should have asked the members of the band to come up and say two sentences, but I want to take this opportunity to thank one person, a girl named Sally Hansen, for being with us all the way here." Thank you. ”
After saying that, Hugo stood there and nodded slightly, then lowered his head to hide his slightly reddened eyes, and turned to his teammates. He looked at everyone and asked with his eyes, "Do you have anything else to say?" Everyone didn't speak, just stepped forward and gave Hugo a big hug, and then stepped down one after another.
The guests were all confused, "Sally Hansen", the name was so unfamiliar to them, everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't find a clear vein. But at this time, the members of the glorious to death have already walked off the stage, and the applause on the scene still rang out again, bringing this historic moment to an end.
Although the guests at the scene are unknown, the young volcanoes gathered in Washington Square in New York, Echo Park in Los Angeles, and downtown Plaza in Chicago at this time have red eyes one by one, not only because glory to death made history on the Grammys, not only because the band members solemnly thanked them, but also because they are "Sally", they are the "Sally" who has accompanied the glory to death all the way to the present, the hardships along the way, the thorns along the way and the madness all the way, only they can deeply understand.
At this moment, this trophy for the best rock band represents not a historical moment, but a young volcano and a musical road of glory to death, long and arduous but wonderful happiness. Tears, flickering at this moment are bitter and sweet.
