San Francisco (san. Francisco is a city full of European art, this city is located on the peninsula of San Francisco Bay, giving birth to the cultural atmosphere of the entire West Coast, it has a strong cultural atmosphere comparable to New York on the East Coast, "Bo" Ston, and gave birth to Silicon Valley (SILI). valley) is also a gathering of science and technology centers from Italy, China. The cultures of various ethnic groups such as China, Spain, Japan, and South Asia make San Francisco unparalleled in its tolerance.

Although New York, Los Angeles and other first-tier cities are also multi-ethnic and multi-cultural areas, San Francisco, bathed in sunshine, is different, the city is more accepting of immigrants than ever before, which makes every corner of the city can see an intoxicating cultural 'intermingling' scene.

It is this city that has injected colorful 'color' into American culture, the "Beat Generation" and "hippie" leather. Lives, homosexuality, and yuppies...... Whether it's like George and Byron (gee. Byron or Frank, ballet or skateboarding, there's a place for yourself in the city.

Built in the late 19th century, the tram has become the city's most distinctive ancient skill, the time-honored wooden cable car slowly passes through the city in the sun, slowly winds up the hillside, looks at the colorful ground floor buildings on both sides, enjoys the leisurely and comfortable afternoon, breathes in the aroma of coffee wafting in the air, and the true meaning of life is probably the same.

The first stop of the band's road tour was San Francisco, on the one hand, because there were too many people in Los Angeles who knew Hugo, and it was easy to divert the focus; On the other hand, it's because San Francisco is a city with coffee in its blood. San Franciscans love coffee almost crazy, they tend to use the coffee spoon to measure their lives, and the center of every community is measured by coffee houses, "making" friends, listening to poetry, reading publications, so that the city is filled with the smell of "waves".

&arket。 Street) is the heart of the city, and the area south of this street is home to a myriad of bars, clubs, and artists, making it the most artsy part of the city, but interestingly, Bush Street, just three blocks away from Market Street. street) to the north, is the poorest 'chaotic' district in the city. tenderloin), there are countless adult shops and movie theaters, and drunks and smokers can often be seen on the road. Poisoners and beggars are also hotbeds of all kinds of crimes. Just across the street, there are tourist areas, commercial areas, and slums on one side, and the difference in wealth is obviously staggering, making people marvel at the magic and horror of this world.

Glory to death found a small stage in the middle of Bush Street and Market Street, said to be a stage, in fact, it is a small 'flower' bed, there is a small flea market not far away, near the 'flower' bed there are a few pedestrians stop to rest, there is also a performance artist dressed as a 'woman' witch standing on the street to perform.

Everyone helped Fujin move the drum kit, and then put the instruments in place, and each began to adjust the instruments, after a period of running-in, the band has a certain tacit understanding, and is already very familiar with the preparations. As soon as the qiē was ready, Fokine beat the drum to announce the official start of the band's performance.

From now on, each performance of the band is very complete, from the beginning of the first song to the end of the performance, there will be no active cut-off, and the 'communication' within the band will wait until the performance is all over to ensure the integrity of the performance, and I also look forward to the band's continuous interaction with the audience during the performance process and make progress.

Hugo has gradually adapted to the position of the lead singer now, and at present, in the configuration of the band, Fojin has shown strength in line with his reputation, Neil is not to be outdone to show his deep skills, as for Alfonso and Pedro, both of them still need to continue to exercise, on the whole, the strength of Glory to Death at this stage is enough to rank among the top of the Los Angeles underground rock circle, and it is definitely only stronger than the new day of the band before Fokin.

Hugo, as the lead singer, is a singer with a strong infectious force, and his understanding of the lyrics and melody has a superior understanding, so during the performance, Hugo's interpretation always has a sense of penetration, which can easily drive the audience's reaction. Hugo's voice does have a great innate advantage, with a wide vocal range, high energy and low energy, although the penetration is slightly insufficient, but the mellow and warm voice is very permeable to the understanding of the melody, which also makes Hugo in the process of singing, the whole love is very surging and full of tension.

The band's two guitarists, Neil and Alfonso, are both moving and static, Neil as a rhythm guitarist, his performance is very wild, the sharp guitar style is very similar to that of a led Zeppelin, the loose and explosive guitar strumming seems to rub fire 'flowers' in the air, Alfonso is very delicate guitar technique, 'flowers' are varied, maybe he may be slightly inferior to Hugo in terms of strumming speed alone, but Alfonso's sense of rhythm and musicality is extraordinary' color', the understanding of the melody and Hugo can often form a resonance. The two guitarists complement each other and at the same time are able to understand and read the performance process amazingly.

As a bassist, Pedro has a huge pressure on his shoulders, and true professionals know that the bassist is the central factor that determines the basic level of a band, because the bassist needs to shoulder the burden of the whole band's stringing. Pedro Bes's basic skills are very 'outstanding', with absolutely top ability, even if he performs alone, he has enough strength, and the emotions in the performance process are very imaginative, quite like the style of a deep purple band. But his understanding of melody is prone to disconnect, which is where Pedro needs to improve, and he hopes that Alfonso will give him more support.

As for Fujin, he is a drummer with abundant emotions but steady technical movements, his technique is very comprehensive and top-notch, and his grasp of rhythm is very keen, and at the same time, his grasp of the drums during the performance process vents the surging feelings, injecting a fresh domineering spirit into the performance temperament of the whole band.

Overall, the Glory to Death style is very infectious and impactful, and this kind of band often bursts with great energy during live performances because of the enthusiasm of the audience, and the whole band is very young, so their performance is full of youthful energy.

Of course, the current band members are still in the run-in period, and the style presented now is only the atmosphere created by the mixing of the technical movements of their respective members, and the style with its own characteristics has not yet been formed. But predictably, this band does have a lot of potential.

At this time, Hugo was singing the softer "Hing", which is relatively simple in terms of chords, and the catharsis of emotions is the core of the song, but at this time, Hugo, who should be concentrating, had to give Pedro a look, because Pedro was obviously distracted just now, and there were several mistakes in a row.

As a performer of melodies, Hugo was sensitive to mistakes in the orchestra's performance, which affected his pitch and performance. Of course, not only Hugo, but also several other members of the band also looked at Pedro with their peripheral eyes, the band is a whole, and any mistake in any link may cause problems in the entire band's watch, and Neil even glared at Pedro directly with the rotation of his body, reminding him to focus on the melody.

Pedro also realized his mistake and smiled apologetically, but in the middle of the performance, he didn't say anything further and returned his attention to the performance.

At this time, Pedro is indeed a little distracted, the entire performance of the current glory to death has been going on for thirty minutes, it can be said that it has entered the high 'tide' of the performance, if according to the previous experience in Los Angeles, there must be a lot of audience standing around at this time, even if it is not crowded, more than a dozen audiences are indispensable, but the situation on the scene today makes Pedro frightened! Because there were only three spectators at the scene!

Three!

It's just too rare. Moreover, this has nothing to do with the surrounding environment, because there are many pedestrians around this small 'flower' altar, and at least more than 100 people can be seen walking or sitting on the street within the line of sight, but in the eyes of these people, glory to death is like just a bouquet of 'flowers' in the 'flower' altar generally has no meaning, no one wants to stop their steps, and even the sight is a little stingy, which is really too frustrating.

Seeing this situation, Pedro was inevitably a little distracted, and he couldn't help but wonder: Is the band's performance really bad? No one wants to watch it at all?

But after being reminded by his teammates, Pedro also knew that he was distracted, and quickly regained his attention, but unfortunately it didn't have much effect, Pedro was still in a state of distraction, and the slipping of attention could not be controlled at all, which also made the band's performance a big problem. From here, it can be seen that the band of Glory to Death is still too young and prone to 'waves', especially Pedro, who is the bassist, is 'sexual' lively and jumpy, and the band's performance is easily taken away from the original track.

In the last third of the song "Nothing", the whole performance turns into a plate of loose sand, which really makes people shake their heads.

When the whole song was finished, the band bowed to the three audience members in front of them to express their gratitude, but the audience obviously had no intention of responding, they just nodded slightly, and then left one after another, leaving only the five members of the Glory to Death band standing alone.
