Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 699 Homemade Guitar Debut
"Enter Sandman" is a new song that Bian Lang gave to Hatter at this music festival. Of course, Ivo has never heard of it.

For a rock band, it is not a very wise choice to open with a song that the fans are not familiar with. But it also depends on the song. For example, if the prelude of "Enter Sandman" can bring Ivo to the sky, then it doesn't matter!

Moreover, the sound field of this indoor venue is more suitable for the timbre of the drum part of this song than the sound field of the outdoor music festival. Especially those who have heard this song at the Rolling Stone Music Festival, when listening to this part again, they immediately feel that it is an upgraded version.

Of course, this is not entirely the effect of the venue. The band also spent more time rehearsing this song, and their tacit understanding with Di Li became stronger, so of course the live effect improved.

As for those who haven’t heard the festival version, they were so shocked that they don’t know how to describe their current feelings.

There are also a very small number of people who, for various reasons, are listening to metal music for the first time. There are only two words in their minds: "Subversion!"

Xie Xinyan looked back at the other areas of the backstage, and it felt like a zombie siege. The atmosphere of the live fans made him feel better than Hatter's overseas tours!
"It's not that there is no soil for rock music in China, but that no good seedlings have grown in this soil for a long time. They are just weeds in the wind... I believe that the fire of the Rolling Stones will surely spread across the prairie and give Chinese rock music a new lease of life... And it's not just rock music..."

The expressions and thoughts of other pop singers also vary.

Some of them had never even heard of this kind of live performance before. They were not only shocked, but their minds were completely blank. They unconsciously followed the fans and began to release emotions in their hearts that they didn't even know what they were.

Some of them had heard of it but never seen it, or had seen it with their own eyes. Before they came, their mentality was probably: "It's just like that, nothing big." But now seeing it like this, many of them were dumbfounded.

The restlessness of the scene, the frequency of the music and the fans' faces with different but vivid expressions made them feel a power different from pop music. They didn't know how to describe it specifically, but they were sure that the power of this core was something that the music they made and played could not give them.

This may also be the core reason why rock music cannot compete with pop music in China now. After all, many people listen to music just to fill their fragmented time gaps, or use music to force themselves out of a certain state when they want to change their brains.

It doesn’t matter what you sing or hear, as long as you don’t take it too seriously and attract your attention to it.

But rock music cannot do these things. Take the song "Enter Sandman" for example. If you listen to it on the subway on your way to work in the morning, you can't help but get excited. If you do get excited, the crowd will probably gather together and drag you in.

If you listen to this song when you want to change your mind and continue working after being scolded by your boss, then the crystal trophy or ashtray on your boss's desk and his head will be in trouble.

If you listen to this before going to bed, you're doomed. You probably won't be able to sleep well that night. Even if you do dream, you'll probably be fighting the King of Hell with an electric guitar for 3000 rounds!

Those who are knowledgeable in the circle can roughly judge that this song is related to "Fade To Black".

After Ivo woke up from his solo, he leaned close to Silva and asked loudly, "Is this the new song Wave prepared specifically for the Hatter tour?"

Silva shook his head after hearing this and immediately began to explain: "This is what Wave prepared for Hatter at the Rolling Stone Music Festival. There should be new ones on this tour!"

Hearing this, Yiwo's anticipation soared, and he was also glad that he didn't stay long when he came to watch the rehearsal. If he had heard these songs he had never heard before, his current audio-visual experience would have been greatly reduced.

Although he had heard Hatter perform live in Europe before, this song gave him a completely different feeling. If Hatter was first-rate in Europe before, then the temperament and performance of this song were definitely world-class.

It's not just the temperament of the work, but also the spirit of Feimos and the others on stage, which are all different from before. Feimos and the others themselves didn't notice this, and neither did Evelyn and Bian Lang who were often around them.

It was people like Ivo who were familiar with Hatter but hadn't seen him for a while who could sense this change. And, in Ivo's view, this change was a good sign.

Because for a band like Hatter, the output of writing new songs and new albums is very low. It’s not because they are afraid of not doing as well as before, or they are worried about gains and losses.

It’s just that as time has passed, my understanding and ideas about music have been constantly changing, and naturally I want more. Whether it’s just wanting to express my own way of thinking, or finding a balance between myself and my fans, it’s much slower than when I first started playing in a band.

In this way, the tour will continue to play the same old songs. He doesn't know whether the audience is tired of listening to them, but they are definitely tired of them! There may even be some songs that they are about to get sick of singing. In this way, the passion and state will decline, and the quality of the performance will decline.

If they can get through this stage, they will be heading straight to the top of the world. If they can't, they can just live a life of idleness and wait for death in this state, but the meaning of performances for the band may have really changed at that time.

At least from the heart, it’s not so rock anymore!

In the past, Yiwo felt that they were in the same awkward stage as Hatter, but now he clearly felt that Hatter was showing signs of moving on to the next stage.

The opportunity for Hatter to change was undoubtedly Bianlang.

"Maybe, we should come to China to perform so that we can have more contact with Bian Lang!" After Yiwo had this idea, a stone in his heart fell. The next step was to enjoy the performance.

After "Enter Sandman", Hatter began to perform his own original songs.

After this strongest temporary worker improved his familiarity with the songs and his coordination with the band, the performance went even smoother than at the Rolling Stone Music Festival.

Several people from the Rolling Stones in the backstage nodded their heads and said, "After returning from this overseas assignment, Dili should be even more powerful than before."

For this tour, Hatter has planned to perform 22 songs. Except for "Enter Sandman", the 11 songs in the first half are all original classics of their team.

It may be unfamiliar to some live music fans, but it is not unfamiliar to metal fans and Hatter fans. Before last year, these fans all agreed that they would never have the chance to see Hatter's performance in China in their lifetime.

But who would have thought that Hatter would come to last year's Rolling Stone Music Festival. And they came again this year, and now they have started their tour. This is so happy for them!
The significance of the special performance lies in the number of tracks, so when the half ended, some of Hatter's die-hard fans began to cry the moment they were relieved from the extremely excited and agitated emotions. At this time, Gong Qian came on stage again. Seeing that he was a little out of breath, he probably went crazy a lot just now.

“Oh, these guys are really worthy of being a world-class band. After they twisted their body a few times, I feel like my cervical spondylosis has eased a little!” This funny comment immediately caused laughter at the scene.

He didn't say much, and went straight to the point in his next sentence: "Next, the most popular rock band in our country will appear as Hatter's guest! I believe everyone knows who they are. Come on, let's all call them out, okay?"

After saying this, Gong Qian turned the microphone toward the audience, and immediately the fans shouted in unison: "Rolling Stones! Rolling Stones! Rolling Stones!"

The sound was so strong that everyone present felt that the equipment on the stage was inferior to the human voice.

The momentum was even greater than when Hatter took the stage.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the roof was blown off, but the fans outside Wukesong could also hear and feel the energy inside the venue!
"The Stones are rolling! The Stones are rolling!"

"Fuck, I can only vaguely hear what's going on here. If I had known, I would have applied for the security guard position then!"

"It's impossible to be a security guard, but I can think about being a volunteer..."

At this moment, the 30 gold members in the circle have completely freed themselves from the discomfort just now. They didn't have much interest in Hatter before, but now that they are on the edge of the wave, they suddenly feel like they are at home.

As the volume of the shouting went up, the hippies in the area were immediately overwhelmed. Guo Changxiong and the others looked back and felt that the scene was a little unreal.

Among them, there was a girl who wore a hat and a mask throughout the whole process, but she still did not shout like crazy with her teammates. This person was Tan Lian!
First, there were too many people in the entertainment industry here, and she was afraid of unnecessary trouble if she was recognized. Second, she had always thought that singing was not difficult, but this time she was hit hard.

Not to mention Bian Lang who hasn't started singing yet and Feimos who just performed, even the Green Algae in front of her seemed like a towering figure to her.

Moreover, when she compared the performance of these people on stage with that of the Mask Band, she felt that they were simply not the same thing. If she compared them on the level of the stage, she felt that the Mask was only fit to perform in a bar compared to Hatter.

"Li Yiliang was really out of his mind at that time. With such a great teammate like Bian Lang, he actually wanted to go solo and even sold the copyright behind other people's backs. It's really..." At this moment, she really couldn't think of any adjective to describe Li Yiliang's actions at that time.

Looking at the other people in the circle, they were all surprised by the audience’s reaction.

They knew the fame and popularity of the Rolling Stones in China, but they felt that they could not possibly be more famous than Hatter. After all, driven by a certain admiration for the strong, some emotions would be amplified in such public occasions, which would produce a herd effect.

Even if you are mentally prepared, when you actually stand here, the feeling is still so different from what you imagined.

Not to mention the ones far away, just the Liu Xiaokui in front of them didn't look like an idol star at all. He was so excited that he almost climbed onto the stage!

And as one person's hat fell off and their masks were torn off, they discovered many big names that they had not noticed before.

"Why is Xie Xinyan whistling? Who is that next to him?"

"Xia Yuxi! Did this guy really join the Rolling Stones?"

"An Feng? Guo Sichu? These two..."

An Feng and Guo Sichu were usually considered to be either quiet and dignified or aloof, but now they were like crazy girls in their teens or twenties. The singers who were still holding back didn't know how to deal with the current situation!
The photographers and cameramen on the scene are not blind. This area of ​​theirs is definitely the focus of attention. If some bad photos are released and then maliciously interpreted by some people, then this trip will be a loss!
And it was at this moment that the Rolling Stones took the stage amid everyone's expectations.

The rest of the makeup was normal, but the new black, white and red guitar hanging on Bian Lang's body immediately attracted the attention of those who were familiar with the Rolling Stones.

When he saw the guitar, Mr. Qiu, the guitarist from Fender, was so excited that he almost pushed Kou Yong to the ground: "It's worth it, it's worth it, this sponsorship is really worth it!"

It had been a while since Bian Lang had sent the materials to assemble the guitar. He was still wondering if Bian Lang had forgotten about it because he was too busy, but the headquarters hadn't said anything, and it was even less likely that he, the general agent of Huaxia, would urge them.

Who would have thought that Bian Lang would take out the guitar so quietly.

"Mr. Qiu, why are you so excited? It hasn't even started yet, and you're not one of those star-chasing girls!" After Kou Yong stood firm, he turned around and asked Mr. Qiu.

President Qiu glanced at him, then looked at the stage with an intoxicated face and said, "See the guitar on Bian Lang's body? Another famous guitar will be born in the history of our Fender!"

"Bian Lang made that one himself?" Kou Yong knew about this of course, but he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't expect that Bian Lang actually made it!

"Yeah, I'll have to listen carefully later to see what the sound is like!"

"That's useless, given Bian Lang's seriousness. If he wasn't capable, how could he possibly perform at such an important show?"

It is indeed as Kou Yong said. If Bian Lang had not adjusted the guitar to the point where he felt there was no problem, he would definitely not use it. Originally, Bian Lang was going to use it at the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, but thinking about the various things this guitar had done on the original Earth, what better occasion than the debut of "JUMP"?
