Chapter 12: Lincoln Park (End of Chapter)

To celebrate the success of the first season of "The Band", all the bands, guests, and crew involved in the recording of the finals moved to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan, New York, where the aBC "The Band" crew chartered a hall for a celebratory reception. Of course, this reception is also a place for major music companies in the United States to negotiate business with the top 12 bands. Many bands, such as CK Band, Flag Burning American or Whig, these bands are not as good as Xero or ra_Fr Band, which can only show that there is still a certain gap between their band's style, audience and creative strength and these two bands, and there is a very huge factor, most of these bands that made it to the top 12 and did not become Zuihou winners are underground bands. Yes, rock music that is like a portable tape recorder, keyboard, drum machine, and guitar absorbs hi, folk, experimental rock, psychedelia, pop, and early rock 'n' roll, combined with twisted and caustic lyrics, and is itself a kind of postmodern rock that is both colorful and scruffy and dirty, and this postmodern style of rock is very much to the hearts of Johnny Raymond and others.

Unfortunately, the reason why the audience's phone vote was not strong was because he was an underground band, not a high school band. It's easy to capture the hearts of Americans with a title like a high school band, because such an identity makes it easier to associate themselves with the band and resonate with them A band that lives next to them is likely to be the next champion of "Class Band". Most likely, they set the American music trend. Such a psychology makes it easy for them to lean towards the high school band when facing underground bands and high school bands. This is one of the reasons why "The Band" will be a huge success in terms of ratings

However, just like Beck's band, his songs such as ser", ymi, r, and c are very good music in themselves, and excellent music itself is the object of great music companies. Of course, the champion kara_Fr the band they don't have to think about it. However, in addition to the other eleven bands in kara_Fr, although the cBgB club can sign them, everyone knows the principle of making the first move. It's like Don Gilmour's music company, they are very interested in the band Xero, and in his own opinion, he also thinks that the band Xero has great potential. However, as soon as his words were finished, McXintian's words directly extinguished his hope.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gilmour, Mr. Heineken Christopher has promised us a record contract."

Disappointed, Don Gilmour turned his gun, and when he turned to Beck, Beck poured cold water on his head again, "You're a step late, Mr. Gilmour, I've made an agreement with Mr. Heineken Christopher, and the production of my first album will be handed over to BSP; Hearing this, Don Gilmo couldn't say how disappointed he was.

"Hey Mr. Gilmour, look at your sad face, what are you thinking?"

Don Gilmour touched his glass with Jerry who came over, "I never knew that Christopher's actions turned out to be so quick to celebrate the cocktail party and not much of an event, he signed Xero and SP; "Gilmour is interested in these two bands?"

"Of course. There is no producer who is not interested in such a new generation of liliang. ”

"Well, Mr. Gilmour, would you be interested in becoming a record producer for these two bands?"

"Huh?"

"Although your music company can't sign these two bands, you can still participate in the recording process of these two bands as an independent producer, and Mr. Gilmour must know that the cBgB club is actually a label under my name."

"Is this an invitation?"

"Absolutely. What do you think? Mr. Gilmour, is my invitation sincere? ”

Don Gilmour smiled, "I think I still need to think about it." ”

Jerry Hahadaxiao, "By the way, Mr. Gilmour, do you remember that guy named Avril Lavigne this summer?" ”

"Of course I do."

After the Chinese New Year, she was going to transfer to New York. I wonder if you can give her some guidance on music? ”

"Of course I do."

The elf seemed to have a different temperament, and her musical comprehension amazed the likes of Don Gilmour, Johnny Raymond and David Bowie. To be able to guide this guy, what is Don Gilmour not willing to do,

"Looks like she's going to be unable to sleep tonight." Jerry smiled and touched the glass with Don Gilmour, "I'll take your place first."

Saying goodbye to Don Gilmour, Jerry made his way to McSin Field, Chester Bennington, and Collo Scott, who still didn't seem to shake off the excitement.

"Hey guys, hello guys"

"Hey there, Jerry" the members of the band Xero all gathered around, "you know what?" Jerry, the band signed to the cBgB club, which is really awesome, I never thought that a high school band like ours could sign to cBgB. Think about it, in the future, we will stand alone on the stage of cBgB, facing the countless fanatical fans on stage, this feeling, just think about it, it makes my blood boil."

Jerry gave Chlos Scott a punch directly, "Wake up, it's Mike and them standing on stage, you're just a band manager." You've got to get behind the scenes."

"You can't give me room to imagine."

A group of people hahadaxiao.

"Let's get down to business. Although xero signed a record contract with the cBgB club, if you can't produce a work that satisfies the cBgB club, the execution of the record contract will be delayed, and if you still don't produce a haode work within five years, the contract will be voided, and you must know that. So, guys, it's not too early to rejoice, you still need more perfect coordination and better work. Hey, don't look at me, I'm just a supernumerary, the creation of the work, you have to rely on yourself Mike, Rob, these are all things you need to learn and explore by yourself in the future, so, now is not the time to be really happy, and when your first album is officially released, it's not too late to cheer"

Three years later, the band, Xero, officially graduated from Long Island High School in New York. After a series of underground band concerts, warm-up performances, etc., they officially performed their first album "hybrid_Try" at the cBgB club, which was a huge success. At the age of 7, the band Xero welcomed their band, Joseph, of Korean descent, and changed the band's name to Linkin Park
