Chapter 1222 - Let you see what is called a hooligan in a musical instrument

How did they get here? When I poked my head out of the window, I saw that there was a rock band at the intersection not far away, playing drums and screaming bass and electric guitars; But although there are countless rock bands in Greenwich Village, and street performances are common, they are usually in other parts of the village, so why did they come here?

The area where Shen Long lives is a gathering area for classical musicians, while the gathering area for rock singers is on the other side, and the big guys usually have well water instead of river water, what is the situation today?

"Hey, James, what's going on?" As soon as he turned his head, he happened to see James, the pianist next door, also poking his head out of the window, so Shen Long asked.

"They moved from there, they live in the building in front of them, in fact, they've been performing here since yesterday, and you just didn't hear it when you went out." James was also distressed, and the loud sound of rock music also disrupted his practice.

"Isn't there anyone talking about them?" If you're not alone, why don't others stop it?

"Why not? Elliot and Thomas upstairs went to ask, but they didn't care, and he didn't have a good solution. James shrugged.

Oh, I kind of understand, people who are engaged in classical music pay attention to a polite and polite person, and then look at the people who play rock music over there, either their hair is blown up, or they have tattoos on their bodies, isn't this just that Xiucai meets Bing and can't explain it clearly? Shen Long glanced at their outfits and guessed what was going on.

In the minds of classical music practitioners, the impression of rock musicians is not very good, and they are usually labeled as violent and gangster, and it is indeed a bit difficult for a group of cultural people to convince them.

"Do you want to go down with me? It's always so noisy that we can't work at all! "Shen Long wasn't scared at all, what about the violence? Can you beat me? What's so great about gangsters, the chairman of the National Gangsters Association? Why don't we find a corner and have a good chat?

"Well, no, I haven't finished playing today's song yet!" James was still indignant just now, but now as soon as he heard that he was going down to talk to those rock singers, he immediately coaxed, for fear that Shen Long would pull him over, so he quickly closed the window.

Hey, in fact, I'm not afraid, whether it's magic or magic, there are ways to keep these noises from interfering with me, but Guo Yan still has to practice when she comes back, Shen Long estimated that she was afraid that she would not be able to eliminate the interference and practice quietly.

Okay, since you are all cowardly, then I will go down by myself, isn't it just a few rock singers, even if you come to a group of gangsters, I am not afraid, so Shen Long put on his coat and walked downstairs.

When I came to the crossroads, I looked back, and James seemed to appear at the window again, and peeked at him behind the curtains; And the rock singers in front of them, seeing Shen Long's dress, and seeing him coming out of that building, they couldn't guess his identity, so not only did they not stop, but they became more and more angry.

The drummer's drumsticks rained down on the drum kit, and the guitarist's fingers shook as if they were spasmodic, bringing out a miserable win on the string board, and the lead singer howled at the top of his voice.

Several pairs of eyes stared at Shen Long, wanting to scare Shen Long away, they did this yesterday, but Shen Long had never seen any strong winds and waves? When he was carrying a Chicago typewriter and slaughtering all over New York City, these guys probably hadn't been born yet, and they didn't care about any of this at all, just standing there calmly listening to their music.

Hey, don't really say it, these guys have something, the guitarist's old Fendaji is bold, clear and aura; The profound postmodern lyrics erupt from the lead singer's subdued and powerful voice, which is refreshing; The slender fingertips of the female bassist manipulate the sensation of a flaming jump; The drummer's drumming is a seemingly dull step-by-step operation; The keyboardist strikes out a more spacious, new-wave keyboard sound, and the heavy oil paint of the entire band's work is revealed.

Sure enough, it is worthy of Greenwich Village, and any band on the side of the road has such a level, although these guys are not famous at the moment, but the level is enough, and they also have their own style, blending a variety of rock styles such as punk, new wave and white funk, and improving to incorporate elements of African percussion.

In time, if you get the right opportunity to perform at a well-known show bar like WHA or CBGB, you will definitely be favored by the scouts of major companies, right?

So, after the song was over, Shen Long stood there and applauded him, and took out a dollar bill and put it in the piano case in front of the band.

Well, what's going on? A few of the band members were a little dazed, didn't he come here to chase us away, just like the people yesterday? Why is it now clapping and giving money?

"Nice tune, you can hear it, you're trying to fuse African percussion with funk, it's an interesting attempt." Shen Long commented that Wang Qiming only knew classical music, not rock music, but Xie Bin did, so as soon as Shen Long opened his mouth, he told the origin of their song.

"I didn't expect you to listen to this! I thought you were a classical musician. The band's guitarist scratched his head, and after the rise of rock 'n' roll, rock bands and the classical music world certainly collaborated, such as the Scorpions, who once played with the Berliner Philharmoniker, but more often than not, they were hostile to each other.

The classical music world despises rock 'n' roll, believing that it is not called music at all; The rock world ridiculed classical musicians for their music being too old-fashioned and not interesting at all; Well, this hostility has even continued into later generations.

"Well, it's true that I'm mainly working on classical music right now, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying other types of music." Shen Long has no bias in this regard.

He pointed to the surroundings and then to the street in front of him and said, "Don't you think you chose the wrong place to perform?" Most of the people who live here are classical music practitioners, and in front of it is the territory of rock music, so when you go there to perform, there will be more audiences, and most people here will only find it noisy. ”

"That's because they don't know how to appreciate! If you think it's noisy, you can take your instrument down and perform here, and we don't like you. As soon as he said this, the guitarist became angry again.

"Okay!" Shen Long shrugged, since this is the case, let you see what it means to be a hooligan in a musical instrument.
