At the end of 1993, it was obvious that the "Schindler's List" triggered an astonishing discussion about the war, and this hot "wave" had not yet had time to dissipate, and the rock and roll buzz caused by "almost famous" began to shake the foundation of the entire music field, and the-for-tat song of ice and fire between the two famous families of "Alternative Choice" and "Rotation" sparked an earthquake discussion in the entire music field.

"Alternative Choice" and "Rotation" may still have the same influence as "Rolling Stone", but their influence on underground music, underground rock, and professional 'fans' is still undoubted;

At first, the topic was "Is Glory to Death, this album called "Almost Famous Is It a Good Work...... but soon after it progressed to "What is the style of this band...... "Does Glory to Death insult rock ......", and finally directly to "How should the current situation of rock and roll style change......... The whole topic trend is really jaw-dropping.

Just as the two professional music magazines, "Alternative Choice" and "Rotation", have very different views, the views of "fans" can be broadly divided into three groups, "Alternative Choice", "Rotation", and finally neutral "fans" and outsiders.

Because the music of rock belongs to the 'sex', and because of the 'spirit' advocated by rock, there is a group of die-hard song 'fans' among the loyal rock lovers, who insist that the bloodline of rock 'n' roll must remain pure, British rock, metal rock, art rock, post-garage rock, punk and other genres all belong to the category of rock, among which there are the most extreme group of fans who only agree with the kind of rock they like, for example, after nearly 30 years of development, there are still a group of die-hard music 'fans' who refuse to admit that punk is also rock

They have a paranoid insistence on the band composition of drums, guitars, and bass, and the inclusion of keyboards is considered a shameful compromise and change, and they will even spit on rock bands that join keyboards, and even bands like Dream Theater that have been praised for their "alternative choice" still have a stubborn group that is unwilling to accept them.

This group of loyal 'fans' are actually rock extremists, who absolutely scoff at the appearance of Glory to Death, and have despised bands like Glory to Death since they embarked on a road tour in July. To make a simple analogy, if rock and roll is royalty, then music that glories to death is in their eyes the slave class and cannot be brought to the stage at all.

When the "alternative choice" is critical of the glory to death, these diehards also use all kinds of vicious rhetoric to express their rejection of the glory to death. Luckily, it's not the Internet yet, so these 'fans' are scattered all over the United States, and there is no single organization that connects them and does not form an overwhelming criticism. Their most direct objection is to refuse to enter the record store to buy the album "Almost Famous", and use this practical action to express their resistance to the band.

Similarly, the remarks of "Rotation" magazine have also been supported by a large number of "fans", who believe that the pursuit and persistence of dreams from glory to death is the most direct interpretation of the rock 'spirit', and the band's appeal in the live performance is even more top-notch, the band is using the most sincere performance to convey its rock 'spirit' to the audience, and the 'exciting' energy that still does not give up easily in the darkness has won the love of a large number of fans.

At the same time, this group of 'fans' believes that the challenge of Glory to Death to the existing fixed situation of rock and roll is such a rock 'n' roll itself. In the 60s and 70s, many parents thought that rock was synonymous with degeneration, and extreme parents even thought that rock was promoting poison. Taste, alcohol and violence, these parents strongly block rock and roll, believing that rock is a "spirit" and "poison" that will harm their children and their values.

It was in that era that the hippies arose, and it was under this cultural movement that rock 'n' roll was pushed to its first golden peak.

Now glory to death is also facing the same situation, the secular concept shackles the hands and feet of rock music, and the so-called "traditional concept" restricts the innovation of rock 'n' roll, perhaps this is not the constraints of secular and political affairs in the sixties and seventies, but it is also a stifling of freedom. When rock 'n' roll loses its free soul, rock 'n' roll ceases to be rock'n'roll.

Therefore, this group of song 'fans' praised the move of Glory to Death for daring to challenge the status quo, especially the past two years, which have been hailed as the year of rock 'n' roll revival

These 'fans' believe that those opposition people who are insulting rock and roll with glory to death are actually choking the throat of the rock 'spirit' with a rope, and their fear of new things is like the ignorant people who never heard of rock and roll in the 40s, and the conservative people who regarded rock and roll as a flood beast in the dagger 10s, this is the real insult to rock and roll!

What's more, each of the eleven songs on the album "Almost Famous" is very 'outstanding', whether it is the completion of the melody, the 'fine' degree of the lyrics, or the penetration of the 'spirit', it is amazing, and the masterpieces that can be called classics cannot be counted on one hand. This is definitely a rare sight for an album.

Compared to those in opposition, the supporters are obviously much more united, not only because the previous road tour across the United States has gathered a large number of die-hard fans, but also because of the huge support of the band organized by Meredith Morris, Liam Pinkerman, Eli Kasvi and other supporters, which also gave the support of public opinion for a while.

At the same time, supporters can also show their positive support by going to a record store to buy an album, which makes the supporters quietly start to rise.

In the face of such a situation, the opposition was naturally not to be outdone, although they were not organized, but in the United States in the nineties, radio became the best platform for ordinary viewers to express their feelings. As a country on wheels, the influence of car radio on the general public is omnipresent.

As a result, the "alternative choice" faction and the "rotation" faction used radio as a battlefield and launched a fierce 'fierce' competition.

"Jesus Christ, if you play this kind of garbage music again, I will smash your radio station, the music of the band of Glory to Death cannot be called rock 'n' roll at all, you are insulting rock 'n' roll!"

"Glory to death, I unswervingly support glory to death, I believe that their dedication to music can reach the other side of success and find the glory that belongs to them. Their 'spirit' is the real rock 'n' roll, and I want you to play 'Lithium, this song!'"

"Shit, this qiē is terrible, please don't ruin my morning with garbage music like Glory to Death. If this can be called rock, then Mariah Carey's high note can be called opera! Hell God, can you improve your musical taste a little more? Even the words behind the ...... who picked up garbage on the street were foul language, and they were cut off directly.

"I can't believe I'm only now aware of Glory to Death, their music is so wonderful, 'Don't worry about the past. look。 ba。 Anger) "'Second Chance (SED. ce) "'Kill the Hero. your。 heroes)" This qiē is really beautiful. They have made such a difference in my life, thank God!"

"Professional, professional, please professional! Please don't insult my ears with those bad commercial pop music! Glory to death is just a grandiose clown, their singing can't even be called music, and my muffled snort in the bathroom when solving physical problems is better than their shit!"

"This is the real rock 'n' roll, the courage to dare to challenge the authority of a qiē, this kind of rock 'spirit' is what we should advocate. I'm tired of listening to the countless music that mimics the Nirvana band, and come on, just one Nirvana is enough, so the noise can stop. Listen to the music of glory to death, their courage to change the status quo, their persistence in sprinting their dreams, and most importantly, their new 'color' color for rock and roll. Glory to death is the Nirvana band two years ago, I love them, I love them!"

"Damn Hugo, damn Nazi, let him get back to acting, don't come and insult rock and roll!"

"Hugo Lancaster is the girl of my dreams, and I will always support him. God, his beautiful eyes, his heavenly voice, is this true? Oh my God, you can feel your heart beating even when you mention his name!"

The time for the release of the album was Thursday, and due to the rendering of the two magazines "Alternative Choice" and "Rotation", from Friday to Sunday, according to incomplete statistics, a total of 176 radio stations mentioned the frequency of discussion of Glory to Death or "almost famous" 20,730 times, and it has also become a hot "door" topic this weekend second only to "Schindler's List", "Wave" and "Tide".

As a 'crossing' figure on two hot 'door' topics, Hugo Lancaster's number of mentions has soared to nearly 50,000 times, which is very terrifying.

"Schindler's List" has become a social issue that has swept the North American continent because it touches on sensitive topics for Jews; Relatively speaking, the glorious and dying "almost famous" is weaker by more than one notch, of course, because it involves the topic of rock revival and rock 'n' roll change, and this matter itself is also a part of social culture, so the discussion is definitely not inferior'.

In addition to the heated discussion between the "alternative choice" faction and the "rotation" faction, the neutral faction and the spectator faction have become an important footnote to the strong rise of glory to death!
