Chapter 1103: First Trophy
Hugo didn't expect it, and neither did the other members of the Glory to Death, they didn't expect it at all, that tonight's awards ceremony really had something to do with them! Substantial relationship!
Glory to death, who was focused on the next performance, had no idea where the awards were going or even what awards were being handed out, but just as the band members were distracted, they won their first Grammy trophy, an unexpected win that almost spooked the entire audience.
After acknowledging the musical status of Honor to Death neo-metal rock and giving Honor to Death eight nominations, the Grammys took another big step forward by speeding up the pace of the music market by one beat again, giving Honor to Death a gramophone trophy in recognition of Honor to Death's contribution to the music market in the past two years.
Or, more accurately, to reward alternative rock for its perseverance since the 90s, so that rock 'n' roll can be brought back to life. A small step for the Grammys, but a big step for the entire rock field, from the beginning of Nirvana and Pearl Sauce to the glory to death, the accumulation and precipitation of countless bands finally made alternative rock occupy a place in the Grammys! This is the first trophy in the history of alternative rock at the Grammys since the rise of grunge rock - and it is an even more alternative and trendy new metal rock to win!
In fact, the clues can already be seen from the nomination stage, the representative of alternative rock Glory to Death leads the nomination stage, with eight nominations to laugh at the crowd, and the soul of grunge rock - Nirvana, Sound Garden, Pearl Sauce and Alice Prisoner - have also won corresponding nominations, plus the rise of Nine Inch Nail and Green Sun, this qiē seems to have heralded that the 37th Grammy is destined to be extraordinary.
Among the five nominations for Best Rock Song, Glory to Death took two spots, "Beautiful. day)" and "Don't be upset about the past." look。 ba。 Anger) was shortlisted for the award, and although the latter was included on the album "Almost Famous," it joined the Grammys because the single was released in 1994.
In addition to this, Kurt Cobain's "Apologies (all. apologies)", Chris Cornell's "Solar Black Hole (Black. hole。 Sun)", Bruce Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia." of。 philadelphia)" were shortlisted for the prize.
Since this award honors the creator of the song, the name of the creator is always marked when nominating, and Whitney Houston announced the award with "'Good day', Hugo Lancaster".
It can be seen from this list of nominees that blues is a representative of traditional rock, and blues, who has been on the stage since 1973, has witnessed the rise and fall of rock; And Kurt and Chris are the pinnacle representatives of grunge, both of whom are the souls of their bands; Hugo is naturally the epitome of neo-metal rock, and the energy and spirit he injects into glory to death is unparalleled.
In fact, the four nominees for the five nominations for Best Rock Song are the three generations of today's rock and roll, and before the award ceremony, it was generally believed that no matter who won this award, it was well deserved, and the level of creative strength and completion of the work was so high that it had not been seen for many years.
However, when it comes to off-court factors, the unexpected death of Cobain and the long-lasting Springsteen are the strongest contenders, and it is widely believed that the award will be born between the two.
Lancaster, known as the most shining newcomer in the past two years, has two tracks nominated this time, which is the biggest reward. And the popularity of "don't be upset about the past" is at the forefront of the year. But because of the special relationship between Glory to Death and the Grammys, people can only look down on the prospects of Glory to Death in this award.
However, the Grammys have a surprise for everyone!
The audience applauded, and rock 'n' roll may have lost its core position in the mainstream market, but in the minds of every American, or more accurately, Americans born in the '60s and '70s, there is always a rock 'n' roll dream in their hearts, because this is the most profound imprint of the environment in which they grew up. Rock, which had been in a relentless downward trend since 1977, finally regained its glory after five years in the early nineties, first conquering the record market and now earning a place at the Grammys.
Before you know it, history is already at your feet.
The members of the glorious to death were a little stunned, looking at each other, their bodies still had the inertia to go backstage, but their brains told them that they seemed to be in the wrong direction, which made the five of them stand in place, stunned for half a second, and then Fokine coughed lightly, "Hugo, should you go on stage?" ”
"Yes, yes, of course." In an instant, the other four members nodded in unison, as if they were telling a philosophical truth.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips and nodded, turned around and walked towards the stage, but only took a step before he thought of something, and looked back at his teammates, "Hey, what are you doing, let's go on stage together!" ”
In fact, the Best Rock Song Award is awarded to the creator, and the winner only writes Hugo's name in the column, but in Hugo's opinion, this is not the case, they are a band, a whole, without the other members of the band, there will be no "good day", let alone glory to death. So, they should come to power together.
The other members of the Glory to Death obviously had no way to function normally at this time, and they didn't say anything, and followed closely behind Hugo, and took steps one after another.
It was a long process, in fact, it was two or three seconds, and all the audience were applauding and looking at the glory who was about to leave in confusion, they obviously didn't understand what was going on, but they were sure that it was an oolong. Quite a few people had smiles on their faces.
In the midst of lively applause, Hugo and others quickly walked onto the stage, Whitney gave Hugo a big hug, and then made a veneer salute, "Congratulations, congratulations!" God, I really like you guys! ”
Hugo looked at the bright smile on Whitney's face, this was the first time he met the queen who was popular throughout the nineties, but at this time Hugo had too many mixed thoughts in his mind, so he didn't have time to react, just smiled and thanked him, and then took his trophy from Whitney.
Gramophone trophies.
This is the top, most authoritative and most influential trophy in the entire music industry, an old-fashioned gramophone, the trophy is lighter than expected, and it seems to be lighter than the Oscar statuette; But it is heavier than expected, and Hugo was able to win this trophy, and the intricate factors behind it are far beyond imagination.
Neil put his hand on Hugo's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Testimonial! ”
Hugo reacted at this time, withdrew his eyes from the trophy in his hand, walked quickly to the microphone, raised his head and saw the black crowd in front of him, the lights in the front of the stage were a little dazzling, making it difficult to see the faces of the audience in front of him, but even so, Hugo still saw friends in the crowd who clapped with their hands high and were always unwilling to sit down.
That's Pearl Sauce and Green Day.
"Phew, I was almost leaving the auditorium, but luckily Whitney stopped me." Hugo's words made the audience laugh, which was actually a mockery of the Grammys, thinking that glory to death had nothing to do with the Grammys, and the awards ceremony was so boring that Hugo wanted to leave. The audience, especially the members of alternative rock, whistled one by one.
Hugo tightened his right hand a little and clenched the gramophone in his hand, "First of all, this trophy belongs to our band, Neil, Fogin, Pepe, Alfonso, and me, this is the complete glory to death; Hugo said simply but forcefully, which caused the audience to burst into applause again, and the members of the band standing side by side behind Hugo all smiled and applauded, "Secondly, I must thank the band's manager, Henry, for believing in us and coming here with us." ”
Speaking of this, Hugo let out a long breath, because they didn't have any expectations for winning the award today, so he didn't prepare any acceptance speech, and his brain was even more chaotic at this time, and he couldn't sort out a clear idea, so Hugo could only subconsciously speak, "I remember on the road tour, Pepe once asked me a question, 'Where is the end of this road?'" He was asking when we would be able to leave the damn desert......" Hugo's words made the audience burst into laughter, and Pedro, who was standing in the back, clapped his hands and laughed.
Hugo chuckled as well, and continued, "I remember my answer was, 'At least not here.'" I think this Q&A applies to today as well. Thank you! With that, Hugo turned back and hugged his teammates.
The audience was stunned, and then realized what Hugo meant by what he said just now, and in an instant, the applause rang out again!
The master of ceremonies led the way, guiding the glorious members away from the stage and to the side stage. Hugo and Fokine returned backstage with their shoulders on their shoulders, and the singers and other performers who were preparing to perform backstage stepped forward to congratulate him, and Hugo let go of Fokine's shoulders and landed behind Neil and Pedro, and suddenly stopped.
The qiē came too quickly just now, and before Hugo could clear his mind, it seemed that all the qiē had already ended, and at this moment, that real sense of reality invaded:
He won the award, he got the Grammy, and from the age of fifteen he embarked on the path of his musical dreams, and he finally made it to this stage. The road was too long and arduous, but he had finally arrived! In an instant, all the emotions in my heart surged, drowning Hugo.
