Chapter 30: This Is Not Rock
Lu Xiaosu looked at the bass player who was shaking his long hair on the stage and playing the bass desperately, feeling embarrassed that he was about to commit cancer.
Rock doesn't mean you have to shake your hair, nor does it mean a stage performance like a group of demons dancing wildly.
He watched two underground bands perform, and to be honest, he was disappointed.
If these two bands represent the average of this parallel time and space, then he can only say: the rock of this world is dead.
Just like China on the earth, many years ago, it was also the era of rock and roll, Cui Jian, Dou Wei and the Tang Dynasty Band and others set off a huge wave of rock and roll in China!
Countless people shouted wildly for them, and countless people screamed for them.
But in the 21st century, there are fewer and fewer good works of rock and roll. Wang Feng is nicknamed "Wang Banbi" because he alone supports half of the mainland rock and roll.
Of course, his broken voice...... Don't mention it!
In this time and space, it seems that this embarrassing situation has also arrived, and what is even more embarrassing is that there is not even a half wall in this world.
There are still a lot of people who play rock and roll, and they sing hoarsely on stage, thinking that as long as the hair is shaky, the bass is noisy enough, and the voice is loud enough, it is rock and roll.
But in reality, this is not the case.
Rock has a large number of categories, such as heavy metal, punk, hard rock, etc., and under each category, there are a large number of subcategories. Someone once drew a classification map of rock and roll, well, to blind people.
Some people say that this band is not rock and roll, and that singer is not rock 'n' roll, they are all pseudo-rock!
No.
It's not singing with your throat pulled at your throat that's rock, and rock can be quiet sometimes.
And the core of rock 'n' roll is spirit!
But Lu Xiaosu didn't hear it, he only heard impetuousness. These people are just on the surface, thinking that they are very high and handsome, but in his eyes, they are not as good as bullshit.
"Hey! Well, I've arrived, yes, I'm listening to the song, I'll come over now. The band called, and Lu Xiaosu once again glanced at the demons on the stage with disgust, and turned around and left with the guitar on his back.
Well, he's disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
......
......
When he arrived backstage, he found that there were already a lot of people sitting in the backstage.
The underground band that had come on stage before him had also arrived. There are three people in this band, lead singer Wang Dong, bassist Han Yang, and drummer Liu Weiwei, the name of the band is stupid, called Big Pineapple.....
And Lu Xiaosu's guitarist and drummer sat in the corner, they took the score Lu Xiaosu gave them, and watched non-stop.
Lu Xiaosu first politely said hello to the Big Pineapple Band, but the three of them saw that he was just a high school student, so they didn't pay attention to it when they raised their eyelids.
Lu Xiaosu doesn't care, he has encountered this kind of thing a lot before, the more people who only have a little ability, the more they think that they are in the sky.
"Xiao Su, I'm a guitarist, you can call me Xiaobai, he's a drummer, you can call him Abu." A middle-aged uncle walked over and shook Lu Xiaosu's hand.
He looked at Lu Xiaosu and couldn't help but say, "Although I have known for a long time that you are still a student in an art high school, I still feel so young when I see me." We both watched the song you sent us, I don't know how to describe it in words, but in short, it's really amazing! β
An uncle was shameless and called Xiaobai, Lu Xiaosu was also speechless, and after a few modest words, he asked, "Did you bring another bass?" β
Well, he's going to play the bass himself today.
"I'm also excited to be able to collaborate on three songs like this." Xiaobai still looks like he is living in a dream, and he is incoherent.
"Poof, boy, the hair hasn't grown yet, has it? Started playing rock 'n' roll on your own? Han Yang, the bassist of the Big Pineapple Band, looked at this side and sneered.
Lu Xiaosu turned his head and didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
In underground bands, there are too many such thorns.
Looking at Lu Xiaosu's clean eyes, Han Yang was a little angry for no reason, and said mockingly: "Boy, let's read more books, where can a little kid like you play." β
For wanting to perform on the same stage with such a high school student, Han Yang felt that it was very cheap. And he dropped out of high school before finishing it, and the scumbag and the scholar were inherently incompatible, and when he saw these polite students, he was unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
Look at the way you look, a cream boy, and you still play rock 'n' roll?
He originally thought that young people of this age were the most angry, extremely eager for the approval of others, and once they were ridiculed, they would immediately lose their temper. But soon he was disappointed, Lu Xiaosu didn't pay attention to him at all, and after a few glances at him, he continued to communicate with Xiaobai and Abu.
"Stinky boy! You! Han Yang was about to step forward and count a few more words, but was stopped by the lead singer Wang Dong.
"It's almost time to play, so stop talking nonsense." After Wang Dong finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then turned his head to Lu Xiaosu and said, "Boy, I'll take a good look at our performance and learn more." Don't think that if you write a few broken tunes, you can pretend to be forced in front of your female classmates. β
Yes, Lu Xiaosu thought that there was a person who understood at first, but he didn't expect that he was also a fool who felt good about himself.
.......
The backstage is not big, and the conversations on both sides can be heard on both sides.
Lu Xiaosu clearly heard that the three members of the Big Pineapple Band were joking.
"Brother Dong, the last time I came to the music festival, I remember that at the end of the day, a hot girl added your friend, how is it? Have you used it? β
"What do you say? Ha ha! β
"Yo, then I'm going to behave well today, maybe I'll have this kind of good fortune this year. As long as you are here to add friends, I will not refuse to come! β
Lu Xiaosu raised his eyebrows, and the words of no one beside them fell into his ears.
He knew that a lot of underground bands were messy and dirty, but it still felt harsh to listen to.
He loves rock 'n' roll, he loves rock 'n' roll, and he admires that rock 'n' roll spirit!
So after he learned acoustic guitar, he started learning electric guitar and then bass.
He had sweated so much, and even shed an unknown number of tears, but he never gave up on rock and roll, because - rock and roll never gave up on him!
When he sings in a bar, even if there is no audience in the audience, he will do his best to sing every song well!
But do these people have them?
What exactly are they playing rock 'n' roll for?
Just to attract women to snap?
Amusing!
It didn't take long for the Big Pineapple Band to come on stage, and before going on stage, they didn't forget to glance at Lu Xiaosu, and Han Yang even stretched out a thumbs up, and then slowly went down.
Maybe they feel that they are indulgent and unruly, but in Lu Xiaosu's eyes, these undesirable young people in their twenties are really naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
He listened to their songs, which were as noisy and empty as the underground bands he had listened to before.
Inexplicably, his mood was a little irritable, and as the songs outside became more and more noisy, a wave of anger came up directly!
Listen to those bands in the afternoon, they're not rock! This self-righteous big pineapple band sings, and it's not rock 'n' roll! Not at all!
It's not rock 'n' roll! This is not the rock that Lu Xiaosu loves!
Rock and roll β it shouldn't be like this!
"Well, the big pineapple show is over! Enough of everyone? The voice of lead singer Wang Dong came from outside.
"It's okay if you're not high, there's a rock singer later. Let me tell you, I'm still a white and tender high school student! Han Yang looked at the crowd and didn't forget to taunt a few words.
Lu Xiaosu's face was gloomy, and he said to Xiaobai and Abu: "It's our time, go up." β
Xiaobai and Abu nodded in surprise and smiled bitterly at each other. Sure enough, I'm still a high school student, and my heart is not quiet enough. They thought that Lu Xiaosu was stimulated by the Big Pineapple Band.
Just as Lu Xiaosu was about to go on stage, Ye Yiqing and his assistants happened to walk into the backstage, and the two bumped shoulder-to-shoulder in the aisle.
Ye Yiqing glanced up, and his and Lu Xiaosu's eyes met in the air.
It was a pair of very clean eyes, but I don't know why, Ye Yiqing felt that there were two flames burning in these eyes!
