Chapter 521 521 Bauhinia Crown
This stage is not big, just enough for the five people in the band; this stage is not high, just to the height of the knees. This allows the audience in the audience to directly surround the stage, and are close to Hugo and Neil, who are standing at the front of the stage. Even if Fu Jin is three steps away from the last, the audience can see almost every member's face and clearly observe every detail of the performance.
It was a formal performance, but another street performance, which brought the band closer to the audience without reducing the quality of the band's performance.
When the band members walked onto the stage, all the tension, all the worries and all the uneasiness disappeared. As Henry said, they belong to the stage, and the stage is their world and their territory. As long as they have their own instruments in their hands, they are fully armed warriors, doing their best to devote themselves to their performances, imprinting their souls in the music, and venting them vividly.
There were not many audiences on site today, and there were only more than 300 people, but the entire section of Telegraph Street was blocked. In addition to the heads, they were all heads, and even the store opposite the Amoeba Records was flooded with people, so that the other party could not open normal business at all.
The band soon discovered the uniqueness of the audience today when the first song entered the second half. The band chose the "lithium" with strong catharsis as the opening track of the performance. When the melody came to the chorus, "Every day I only look forward to Sunday mornings, I am not afraid, lit my candlelight, in a dizzy state, because I have found the main god." Hugo's voice has gradually mastered the pronunciation skills of tearing and bursting, and then, under the drum beats of Fujin, the excitement in his body was completely vented, "Yeah, yeah!"
The audience seemed to have agreed to be good. With Hugo's roar, they began to scream, and they lit the entire Telegraph Street with their enthusiasm. In less than two minutes, the performance pushed to the first **. If the first chorus was just a warm-up, then by the second time, all the audiences on the scene joined the carnival, which made the scene a sea of flames.
When Hugo sang, "I like it, I haven't collapsed yet! I miss you, I haven't collapsed yet! I love you, I haven't collapsed yet! I kill you, I haven't collapsed yet!"
Nearly two-thirds of the audience waved their hands to meet Fujin's drum beats, and then shouted loudly, "I haven't collapsed." Every time they stepped on the rhythm of Hugo's singing, like harmony, pushing the momentum of the whole song to a peak, causing all the owners and guests in the store on Telegram Street to flock out, watching the storm that almost overturned the roofs in the scene in amazement.
More than 30 reporters who arrived at the scene looked at the audience's response in amazement. In fact, this is not just a response, but more like a support, just as these audiences have already rehearsed before. Only bands that have debuted for many years, can only call the audience to follow the singing during live singing. The effect of a chorus of ten thousand people is also one of the most shocking parts of every concert. However, today, the new band of Glory to the Death has such a way of support, which is really incredible.
The last time I performed at the Hollywood Balcony, the audience had tried this kind of support, but there were many audiences who were not familiar with the band at that time, so the support on the spot seemed a bit fragmented. But today, all this was so harmonious, and everyone danced to the music in an orderly manner.
This is not simply shouting slogans, but using all your enthusiasm to follow the music to go crazy. Only two-thirds of the audience adjusted their crazy rhythm to the same level, which also made the atmosphere of the entire scene easily push to boiling point, pushing the low temperature in December to another season bit by bit.
Compared with the onlookers, the other audience members in front of the stage had the most obvious and real feelings about this. Two-thirds of the audience maintained a basically consistent pace and vented their enthusiasm towards the same rhythm, which made the remaining audiences involuntarily infected, especially the musical infectiousness that was almost tingling to the death of the stage, which was rough and cruel in Hugo's voice, easily allowing the unknown audience to step on the same rhythm.
This makes the scene a sea of flames!
If it is a coincidence that such a situation occurs in the first song "Lithium", then the same situation occurs in the second song "Don't.look.back.in.anger" which is very eye-catching.
When the music cut to the chorus, more than 300 audience members sang loudly in unison, "So Sally can wait", "her youth gradually withered", and the overwhelming infectiousness almost made people cry. At this moment, two thin bamboo poles stood up behind the audience, and then pulled open to both sides, a huge strip appeared in front of them, which made the glory standing on the stage stunned until death.
At this moment, the music on the stage paused and stopped in fragmentation, but all the audiences on the scene roared with all their might, "So Sally can wait. She knows that even if your awakening is too late, even if you have been abandoned by everyone and her youth is gradually withering, but I remember you said, don't be upset about the past. At least today, don't." There is no musical accompaniment, there is only the roar of the audience singing, but the neat and majestic singing echoes throughout the long street, and the endless echo of the lyrics is rippling with the strong contrast of the extreme quietness and the extreme noisy.
The five members of Honor until death are all old fry who have participated in more than 200 cooperative performances. They will definitely not stop the music easily, but the huge banner in front of them stunned the five band members, including Henry standing on the side stage.
I saw the white-bottomed banner with "death.or.glory" written in purple and gold font, and then a cartoon version of the bulldog image was drawn on the far right. The bulldog's head was tilted with a crown wrapped by purple and golden thorns. This was a golden four-arch crown, but the gems inlaid on it were already incomplete. The thorns made the crown look like it had experienced vicissitudes, but it had a rough and direct tragic feeling, symbolizing the road to the crown.
Obviously, the Bulldog represents "d.o.g", and the Thorn Crown represents the band's road to success. Although the road goes through a lot of hardships, it can still obtain the crown in the end. Although the glory is ruined, this is the greatest appreciation of the band. Compared with those gorgeous and noble crowns, this crown entangled by purple and golden thorns is the truest portrayal of the band's spirit!
The band members were surprised that this crown representing the band, they were surprised that the band had such a real and appropriate logo, and they were even more surprised that the band had such a loyal and hardcore fan!
The cheering at this time, the simple but gorgeous banner in front of me represents the greatest achievement of glory until death: hardcore fans!
It is hard to imagine how much time this group of fans spent to wait for this day, how much hope they had for glory to death, and more importantly, how much energy they got from the music of glory to death. Looking at the must-be ruined crown, the excitement in their hearts began to surge, so that the band had to temporarily interrupt the performance, unprecedented.
Hugo subconsciously looked back at Samora standing on the side stage. Sure enough, he saw Samora's expression of excitement. Looking along Samora's gaze, he could see the familiar figures at the end of the audience. Eli and Liam were holding up the banners, and Andy, Meredith, Melelene, Joshua... and those die-hard fans who followed the band all the way to complete the road tour.
At this moment, tears of excitement flashed on their faces, because they planned this event since the Hollywood Bowl Theatre performance, because they discussed the fan group logo for nearly a week, because they prepared the support for the band's live performance, and because of the excitement and touching on the band members' faces at this moment... everything is worth it.
Hugo looked at the familiar faces and then at the strange faces. They were singing loudly with all their strength, "Don't be upset about the past, at least not today."
Hugo did not wipe the tears rolling in his eyes, because he was enjoying the madness at this moment. The tears that almost burned his eyes made him feel alive like never before. So Hugo picked up the microphone again and then sang the singing of the audience.
"There is boredom in your eyes, because you can no longer find the place where you can realize your dreams. When you say you give up, all the efforts you have put into it will disappear without a trace. Therefore, I will start a revolution from the bed, because you say that my thoughts have penetrated my mind, and the summer is blooming outside the door. When you stand by the stove, the flames reflect your face red, and the hope in your heart is like the flames burning."
Hugo's voice with a little crying voice was so real and moving. The most sincere emotions were clearly expressed in every word and musical note. The true meaning of the music was interpreted like the thrilling golden sunshine in the sky, melting the enthusiasm on the scene into magma, and then rendering the Telegram Street paved with bluestone bricks under his feet into red. The whole world changed color at this moment. Even the thrilling blue on his head became a supporting role, outlining Hugo's interpretation into the most beautiful shape, piercing into this dazzling red without any obstacles, and then bursting out!
