349 Glory unto death
Hearing Fokine's words, Hugo looked back at his companions sitting on the sofa, and made a quick contact with each other's eyes, but his mouth replied immediately, "Of course, a good drummer is not so easy to find. Seeing the excitement on Pedro's face, Alfonso's slightly expectant look and Neil's thoughtful look, Hugo turned to look at Foquin again, "Why don't you come in first?" I think we can talk about it slowly. โ
Foquin put his hands in the pockets of his coat, looked at the familiar but unfamiliar Hugo in front of him, did not speak, looked down at his toes, and then took a step without hesitation, entering the 'door' from outside the 'door'. Immediately after taking two more steps, there was a muffled sound of the big 'door' being closed behind him.
Without waiting for Hugo to speak, Fokine was the first to speak, the deep voice buzzing in his body, "Dropnir Fokine Reinhardt, you can call me Fokine, the band is the drummer, it's a pleasure to meet you." Just like Fujin's style, he introduced himself neatly and simply.
"Neil Anderson, rhythm guitarist." Neil stood up and walked towards Fokin, extending his right hand to show his friendliness.
Seeing this, Pedro jumped up from the couch, and then ran to Fokine's side in two big strides, "Giulio Pedro, Cesar, Casa, you can call me Pepe, I'm the greatest bassist of bassists"
Alfonso's reaction was a beat behind, not because of timidity, but because of jerkiness, he had just decided to be a member of the band, he had not yet realized himself as a master, so his movements naturally slowed down, and after Pedro's introduction, he stepped forward and said humbly, "Alfonso Lopez, keyboardist and melodic guitarist." โ
"Alfonso, you took my place." Hugo also walked up with a smile, "I'm the melodic guitarist in the band." โ
"You're not the lead singer?" Fokine's rhetorical question made Hugo pause for half a beat, although Hugo has gradually cultivated his self-confidence as a singer in the past period of time, but in a band really took on the role of the lead singer, Hugo never expected, and now Fokine's sudden rhetorical question made Hugo can't help but start thinking.
Hugo subconsciously raised his head to look at his teammates, Pedro was the first to start shouting, "He is the lead singer" affirmed Forkin's words, and Alfonso directly raised his hands, "Don't let me sing." Neil smiled and looked at Hugo with certainty, as if to say, "Who are you not?"
The confidence in Hugo's heart fell firmly on the hammer, "Yes, I am the lead singer." Restarting the life of the band, Hugo's position has also quietly changed, this time he stood in the position of the lead singer, but what has not changed is the pursuit of music by the whole band.
"Then I think that the position of melodic guitarist should be shared by me and you, and this arrangement seems much more reasonable." Alfonso stood next to him and smiled, although he wanted to be a keyboardist, it was obviously impossible to have a keyboard in every rock track at the moment, so he was able to be a versatile player, which was very important for the band. Facing the gaze of his partners, Alfonso quickly explained, "Don't worry, I'm very confident in my guitar skills. โ
In fact, Hugo did not have a fixed idea of the position of the band, and in the future, the use of musical instruments in the band became more and more diversified, and digital instruments such as DJs and electronic metronomes began to gradually occupy more and more weight in the band. republic) even has a cellist position in the team, which is quite normal. Therefore, if the band can have all-rounders, it will be of great benefit to the development of the band's positioning.
"I think you're misplaced." Fujin looked at the four people in front of him who quickly digressed, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly, and only after everyone had focused their eyes on him did he continue, "Shouldn't the focus of your discussion be on the drummer?" "The subtext is: Shouldn't you give me an audition?
Hugo looked indifferent, "I have no problem here, you are very welcome to be a member of our band, haven't you already auditioned?" "Not long ago in New York, Hugo is still impressed, Fokin's strength is indeed very solid, no wonder there is such a big name in the circle.
Neil and Pedro looked at each other, Pedro shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, and Alfonso waved his hand before he came into contact with Neil's sight Alfonso was not deliberately polite because he had just joined, but because he didn't know much about the style of the band at the moment, he knew that Fokine's strength was enough, but whether it was suitable for the band would have to be decided by the three veterans of the band.
Neil's gaze met Forkin's calm eyes, "I'm more curious than the audition, what's going on with the new day?" โ
Neil spoke without any cover-up, and asked straight 'up' and 'straight', which made both Pedro and Alfonso gasp. In fact, in Neil's view, Fokin's personality is very straightforward, and it is better to open the skylight and speak brightly than to hide it.
Sure enough, Fokine didn't get angry, he just lowered his eyes and clenched his fists, and then looked directly at Neil, "They fired me, and today they started hiring new drummers." I don't have a place in that band anymore. โ
Recently, there has been gossip about a new day in the circle, but Neil didn't expect this to be the result, he originally thought that it was a new day when several other teammates went out to set up their own 'door', leaving only Fokine alone, so he had to find a new band in desperation. But the truth is even more brutal.
In fact, Pedro is curious, a new day of infighting is a matter of this week, and Forkine showed up today to express his willingness to join their band, is it too soon. But Pedro, despite his bubbly personality and outgoing temper, is not a fool, and he knows that it is better not to continue to rub salt in Fokine's wounds at this time. So, even though Pedro was curious, he kept his mouth shut.
But Folkin had no such intentions, as if he knew Pedro's curiosity, and then explained, "Actually, I just came from their audition, and I didn't know that today was their day to hire drummers...... This simple sentence made Pedro gasp directly, just depicting in his mind the embarrassment and impact when Folkin appeared on the scene, Pedro felt incredible, and without even thinking about it, he muttered "Those 'bastards' are really disgusting".
"I realized that I'd been guarding the day long enough, and now they don't need me anymore, so I should have a fresh start because I'm not going to give up on music." Fokine's words are still very simple, he does not tell about his wolf bรจi and remorse at the audition, he does not tell about the struggle and pain he has come back from, he just expresses his determination in the most simple language.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, he just left one band and immediately joined another, which is really like a betrayal. But Fujin didn't bother to explain, he knew in his own heart that this qiฤ was enough. As for the memories of a new day, let's bury them in the sunshine along Sunset Boulevard.
Neil couldn't help but look at Hugo, and he also realized that his question just now seemed to have uncovered Fokin's scars, and although he got the answer he wanted, he still couldn't help but feel concerned. Hugo cast an affirmative look at Neil, because he knew that Foquin was not such a light person who was knocked down, perhaps, Fokin's inner wound will always be there, but it is not their words and deeds that can heal this wound, but the warmth of the new band and the beauty of the music.
"So...... Are you ready to join the glory until? Or do you need to give us an audition? Hugo pointed to the people standing next to him, Pedro immediately looked up confidently and 'straightened' his chest, Neil also 'revealed' his composure, and Alfonso grinned because he recalled the picture he had just asked for an audition for the band, which was a very good memory.
"Glory unto death?" Fujin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Hugo.
Hugo nodded, "Yes, glory unto death"
Glory to death, this is just the name of a band, but it slowly penetrates into Fokine's blood like a brand, what a profound and flamboyant name, as if it condenses Fokin's life of chasing his musical dreams for the past ten years. Faucin came to the United States from Europe for an illusory musical dream, trekking through mountains and rivers, going through hardships, once hitting his head and bleeding, and once fighting with scars, and now, all these memories are exhausted by the phrase "glory to death".
Thinking of this, Fokine suddenly laughed, the pain and turbulence in his heart quietly calmed down, and he suddenly had a very ridiculous premonition that maybe he would really find his end in this band called Glory to Death.
"As long as you need me as a drummer." Fujin replied firmly, and the last bit of hesitation in his heart vanished. A new day is in the past, and now he is the drummer of the band Glory to Death
"Wow" Pedro was the first to cheer and scream, "May 25th, this is the day our band was born" Just now Pedro went to check the date, and the disappointment that was originally due to Hugo's obstruction was ignited again. The development of things was indeed unexpected, and the band had been delayed for almost four months without any progress before that, but who knew that the band of Glory to Death was formed on May 25th?
This will be a new beginning
