Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 860: Music fans are the best judges
Strauss was having a great time, but the guitarists in the audience were now confused.

"Thor, this is the surprise you mentioned, right? This, this, this is too... the official recording shouldn't be played like this, right?" The surprise is a real surprise, and the astonishment is also a real astonishment.

People in the industry can see that the cover of the song today is not difficult. It's just a matter of practice. The strength lies in Bian Lang's arrangement design.

But Strauss' solo is mostly improvisational, and it looks like you can do it if you have the skills. But if you really want to replicate it 100%, you should just give up if you are not one of the most talented people. Don't torture yourself!
"Haha! Yes, that's what I'm talking about. My old bones are no longer able to do this. My reaction and hand speed can't keep up. I can only rely on you two to do this flip."

Ronald was a little shocked. He looked at Strauss who was catching his breath on the stage, and waited for a while before saying, "I will go to the gym starting tomorrow!"

Parker Mayer, who was still confused, was amused by his words: "It is indeed a physical job to play this. But why is this? Why does a country rock song that is ordinary at the beginning have to be accompanied by such a fast solo at the end?"

Thor couldn't figure it out either. He asked Bian Lang about it when he was watching the rehearsal. Bian Lang's answer was: "You'll know on the day of the performance!"

And now, looking at the crowd below the stage whose excitement was like boiling water, expressing their emotions with real body language and giving the Rolling Stones the most enthusiastic response, Thor understood!

So he pointed at the jubilant fans in the venue and said, "Is this reason enough?"

The two were speechless when they heard it, and two seconds later they laughed and said, "Enough, enough!"

Is there anything more intuitive than the reaction of music fans?

No!

Capital can control the votes and cause the sixty-year-old man who has vacated his schedule for four months to be eliminated by traffic, but I believe that the sold-out tickets for subsequent concerts will tell capital and music fans their choices.

Two reporters from music magazine who were invited to the event watched the scene, and one of them made a judgment based on his intuition: "As long as the Rolling Stones can make the list, the charts will probably be very different in the future."

Another person nodded and said, "And they are the kind that can dominate an era. Any band that specializes in a certain style may be surpassed by the Rolling Stones in their own field of expertise."

This is not an exaggeration at all. As long as the musicians of the Rolling Stones don't brag, and if Bian Lang's behavior of grabbing the original Earth rankings cannot create some big waves, how can he still have the nerve to call himself a time traveler?

"Unfortunately……"

"Stop talking. This kind of thing is not something that small people like us can decide."

“But if there were no Rolling Stones, wouldn’t the authority of our music be questioned?”

The person being asked thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Let's just assume that this list is not worthy of the Rolling Stones. Does that make you feel better?"

"Ah! Um... indeed..."

After Strauss on the stage had caught his breath, Bian Lang walked to the microphone and asked, "Girls, how do you feel?"

The female fans were naturally jumping for joy, and the male fans naturally booed without hesitation. But more fans raised their fists and shouted: "Free Bird!" It felt that after this performance, "Free Bird" was no longer just a phrase or a song title, but had become a spiritual symbol!
When Bian Lang saw this scene, he felt it was just like the grand occasion when Lynyrd Skynyrd was touring in the southern United States.

When the lead singer asks "What do you want to hear most?!" This band always reserves this question on stage, and it always ends with the audience shouting "FreeeeeeeeBirrrrrrrd!"

Quoting a 2021 blog post by a longtime Lynyrd Skynyrd fan in the southern United States:
"When I was a young man in my 20s, I had a Confederate battle flag taped to the rear window of my Chevy Impala. Where the stars and bars (the latter referring to the patterned stars on the Confederate flag) would normally be, were the letters 'Lynyrd Skynyrd.' That's right. That flag meant to me...Southern Rock! Free Bird!"

Isn’t the current situation in Catalonia somewhat similar to that of the past, or even more intense?

So, the local official standing with Evelyn suddenly said after seeing this: “I have a feeling that in the future independence marches in Catalonia, this Rolling Stones song will probably be promoted to the altar!”

Evelyn suddenly realized: "Wave's ability in selecting songs is really..."

Even though she was thinking this, Evelyn denied it, saying, "Mr. Pacino, freedom is the main theme of rock music. I believe that Wave's creative inspiration is definitely the same as that of most musicians..."

Pacino looked at Evelyn and said with a playful smile: "Miss Evelyn, please don't be nervous. Wave is Chinese. I believe he will always stand on the side of justice!"

Evelyn was not fooled, and directly helped Bian Lang to ward off possible troubles: "Mr. Pacino, according to our understanding, Wave's belief is the five-star red flag, and he generally doesn't care about the affairs of other ethnic groups in other regions!"

As a mature agent, how could she not be aware of the influence of celebrities in certain areas?

Why has CAA been thinking about bringing Bian Lang under its wing? It’s because they are afraid that by the time of the election, Bian Lang will fan the flames among his fans and the situation will be out of the control of the huge force behind them.

Although Bian Lang may never achieve the same influence as Taylor Swift in the United States throughout his lifetime, rock music fans are definitely the most stubborn voters in the United States, no doubt about it!

"Okay, but please convey the friendship of the Catalan people to Wave for me!"

Pacino's words are definitely not aimless. There are indeed many supporters of Catalan independence among today's music fans, and some have already begun to make such plans. The theme of freedom is the most suitable slogan to inspire people during the parade.

But when the day came that this event actually happened, no one could have predicted what a grand occasion it would be.

As for the Chinese music fans in the crowd, if they were to use a line of lyrics to describe their feelings at this moment, it would definitely be: "Let the world know that we are all Chinese!"

Tian Xiaoliang and Lu Hai have decided to worship Bian Lang as their lifelong idol. They don't know why Bian Lang chose this song as the opening song for this special show, but they know the lethality of the combination of the two words "free" and "bird" to foreigners. This is a weapon that can be turned into a bullet in the mouth of politicians, and it is the honey that the superiors always have on their lips when they are painting a pie in the sky.

Just like what Mr. Pacino said, they both felt that it would not be long before this song would be heard in the streets of Barcelona, ​​and would spread like wildfire throughout Catalonia!
Tamarind probably forgot his identity as a blogger at this moment, and he had no control over what the sports camera recorded. He said that the scene just now was unique, after all, this was in Europe, and the band on the stage was a Chinese band.

Many Chinese people who are used to seeing the moon is rounder in foreign countries may never have imagined that a Chinese rock band would receive such recognition in Europe!

These are all different understandings of this song. If you ask Bian Lang, his answer must be: "I have repeatedly told my children that in my future funeral, they are not allowed to play funeral music, but must play "Free Bird". They should start with "Ten Words" by Joe Satriani to chat with the guests, and finally use "Free Bird" to say goodbye.

Before the fans' enthusiasm faded, the music on the stage sounded again, and Dayong kicked off the next carnival with the sound of "da dong da dong" drums.

"24 Hour Rock Party" just made its debut on "Summer of the Band" last night, and today the song had its first live performance on the Blue Water Planet.

If Xia Yuxi was there, he would definitely complain: "Brother Lang, can't you leave some of your assets for me? After I take over Hedgehog, I will have a chance to have a live premiere."

“Here is a room full of cool bands
There's a cool band in this room.

you want to please come in
If you want to see them, come on in.
Here are groups without rules
People here don't have so many rules.
Here has what you want,please join in
Here is what you want, come and join..."

The rhythm and singing aroused the emotions of the fans at the scene, and then announced the start of the 24-hour rock party.

At this point, the fans who had been listening outside the venue were fed up:

"We need to go inside and join the party! Wave is calling us!"

"Rolling Stones team, are you pigs? How can you sell 10,000 tickets? Look at how many fans of the Moonlight gathered outside now?"

A Chinese music fan heard this and recorded it. He whispered, "DGM doesn't even think about making money!" Then he sent this video to a little witch in China who was waiting for the material.

After returning from the event, which has been renamed the "Rolling Stone Cover Music Festival" by netizens, she really thought about a lot of issues. Although the future development of the music festival has little to do with her, as a small individual, as a loyal rock fan, she still has her persistence and wants to do her part.

She knew that her video not only boosted the popularity of the "Rolling Stone Cover Music Festival", but also showed the feasibility of this idea to many music festival organizers. According to some news she has received, many organizers have already contacted Du Yunxi during the National Day music festival schedule.

This made her a little depressed for a while!
The original intention was to objectively analyze this matter and awaken the conscience of rock fans and organizers, but who knew...

So, she found some overseas students on the Internet and hired them to go inside and outside the Rolling Stones' live performances to shoot footage for her. She wanted more people to see the charm of the most authentic rock performances abroad.

After all, she wants to let many music fans who have not seen the scenery she has seen before to see it.

After watching the video, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the reporter. The more shots like this, the better. Let those popular stars and their fans see that while you are still playing house and competing for status in China, the Rolling Stones have already gone abroad to earn foreign exchange!
Unable to wait for the post-production to be fine-tuned before being released, she mixed it with a video of the band looking at the audience seats that Chen Shuting had just sent her, processed the picture and sound quality, and posted it directly online, and @Du Yunxi: "If you can't go to Europe to conquer foreign fans like the Rolling Stones, then please learn to respect! Go back and act well, the music festival is not a stage for you to cut off your fans!"

Within a few minutes of the video being posted, except for the one on Bilibili which remained extremely strong, the videos she posted on other platforms were reported and removed.

Don't be too surprised. None of this was paid for by Du Yunxi's team. It was the result of large-scale reports from Du Yunxi's fans.

Although the small broken station, as the base camp of the Rolling Stones, remains standing, the staff who maintain community order are exhausted.

A customer service girl just finished responding to a wave of questions, rubbing her wrist with tendonitis and said, "I really admire the little witch. She is a niche music UP host, but she is chased and scolded by a bunch of little brats who like traffic stars every day. If it were me, I would have quit long ago!"

"Don't complain. Rolling Stone has taken over 5.4% of the traffic of our little website. Among them, the contribution of Little Witch is the most prominent. Their content is too vertical. It is bound to offend people."

"Should we help delete the comments? I think the comment section of the little witch's video is about to be overwhelmed!"

As soon as a staff member finished saying this, others followed suit and quietly opened the comment section of the little witch's video and started to check it.

As employees in their position, they should have seen too many things like fan organizations controlling comments and counter-controlling comments, and they would not be surprised even if the situation was outrageous.

However, after seeing the comment section of the little witch, their three views were shattered, and they directly started manual review of the comment section of the little witch!

There is no way. Du Yunxi’s fans cursed too dirty. The core point is that the little witch was slept with by Bian Lang. If the content that followed was typed out, he would probably be put in the black room directly!
Therefore, the defenders of the Rolling Stones' base camp couldn't help but take action.

Just as everyone started working, someone shouted, "Give me 20 seconds, I'll record the screen."

Those who understood knew what this was for, so everyone tacitly chose not to hear it, but silently counted down from 20 in their hearts.

After the staff member finished recording, he directly sent the screen recording file to Chen Bing.

As one of the top two-digit hippies in the 100,000 hippies, he had a way to contact Liu Xiaokui directly, so he told Liu Xiaokui about the matter as soon as possible.

Less than 10 minutes later, when only a little work had been done here, Liu Xiaokui's fans and some of the hippies arrived!

Liu Xiaokui used his own account and the first sentence he said left Du Yunxi's fans speechless: "My grandmother works for the Chaoyang Residential Committee. Go ask Du Yunxi if he's afraid?"
