From an outsider's point of view, the Grammys' approach is not unexpected. Copy this address to browse%73%68%75%68%61%68%61%2e%63%6f%6d

As noted by Rolling Stone and the Chicago Tribune, the status of neo-metal rock and grunge was recognized at the nomination stage, and this year's nominations for grunge have far exceeded any other event in the past three years; Then a grand session was arranged to mourn Kurt and Cobain - you know, before that, the Grammys did not recognize the historical status of Kurt and Nirvana, so the appearance of this link seems unfounded; And the bands participating in such a grand event are all thorns, except for Neil Yiyang, the other four bands are all attending the Grammys for the first time. Is that really good? The Grammys want to change and follow the trend, which is what they have always done, but when it comes to practical action, they always seem to be several beats slower, which is also constantly criticized. Until 2014, it was not able to change the situation. This time, the Grammys made so many changes at once, as if they were trying to eat the thin bamboo pole of a fat man in one bite, and it was naturally difficult to have an effect.

So, it's not surprising that the Grammys retreated when they came to the end.

But from the point of view of Glory to Death and other bands, it is simply a fraud that such a grand event as the Grammys is untrustworthy. If they were worried that the reform would be too big, they shouldn't have conceived a tribute to Cotter from the beginning, this is an annual event, and the organizers have enough time to think about each part, and there is no need to think about it at all.

They don't know what's going on inside the Grammys, but the fact is that the Grammys' retreat is not just as simple as canceling a link, but also disappointing Glory to the death, and the Grammys still don't have the determination to affirm rock 'n' roll after all" 993 recreated the glory of rock and roll in 1977, but it has never been truly recognized by the industry.

Hugo knows very well that this is the last glory of rock and roll, in the next twenty years, even if rock masterpieces are frequent, even if the Grammys and rock still cooperate a lot, but there is never an album that can reach the height of the Nirvana, and what people mourn the most is precisely the last album of the Nirvana band, "MTV New York Unplugged ......" This is really an irony, but also a regret, and a regression for the entire music industry.

In many cases, only by standing at the node of time can we see the meaning of history clearly.

The Grammys' retreat today may have been just a temporary adjustment, but in Hugo's view, it was a turning point in the real decline of rock and roll, and after that, rock and roll have never been able to enter the core of the mainstream music market in the true sense. Rhythm & Blues, pop, country, they're the core of the core.

Hugo wants to change history, Hugo wants to restore reality, but what should he do?

As Alfonso said, there was no way for them to turn around and leave a mess behind. Evasion can ignore the problem, it can cover up the problem, but it will not solve the problem

Perhaps, they can turn away and never attend the Grammys again, and no longer care about the attitudes and criticisms of mainstream music, and they won't take the historical burden of reviving rock and roll on their shoulders, and they can immerse themselves in their own musical world. But Hugo knew that this was not the rock 'n' roll they wanted.

Although Hugo did not think that the burden of reviving rock and roll and changing the course of musical history had anything to do with him, Hugo knew that they could immerse themselves in their own musical world, but such rock would never be pure.

It's like Kurt Cobain brought grunge to the world, but the commercial attributes of mainstream music are eroding Kurt's musical artistry, and art and commerce have once again formed a contradiction - the reason why Nirvana can shock the world is because their music has reached the pinnacle of art and has commercial attributes at the same time. But then Kurt was surrounded by commercial attributes and assimilated, which made him almost unable to breathe. Kurt didn't find the right way to break free from this commercial nature, running away was not the solution, and giving up on himself was not the right choice, and he ended his life.

Glory to death can turn away, choose to escape, but Hugo doesn't want to end himself like Kurt. Escape was never Hugo's first choice. Last year, Glory to Death expressed his musical claims by refusing to attend the Grammys; And this year, the glory to death turned away not to insist on themselves, but to retreat without a fight, they have come to the Grammys, then they should use their own way to declare to the world: this is glory to death This is the new metal rock!

Deep down, Hugo also wanted to pay homage to Curt-Cobain in his own way, a genius of the world, a genius who made people jealous.

Looking at the thunderous Pedro, Hugo didn't speak, he shifted his gaze to Fokine, who seemed to be thinking about something at this time compared to the depression and anxiety of his other teammates. Sensing Hugo's gaze, Fortin raised his eyes, met them, and asked, "What?"

"No, just a little disappointed with the Grammys." Hugo didn't sort out a line of thought at this time, but just said casually.

Fujin shrugged slightly, "No matter how authoritative it is, it is just an award ceremony after all." "Even the machine can go wrong, let alone a person? As long as it is a human involvement, there are likely to be accidents and deviations, and large-scale award ceremonies such as the Grammys and Oscars are no exception.

Fukin's words were originally just a matter of facts, but after Hugo nodded his chin slightly, an idea popped into his mind, and he subconsciously said, "Maybe things can still be solved...... but after saying that, he fell silent again, trying to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

But the four teammates who were glorious to death all turned their eyes to Hugo, looking at Hugo with concern and anxiety, and when Hugo raised his head, he saw these four pairs of shining eyes, and his heavy heart couldn't help but brighten, and he chuckled, "I didn't say it would work, but, maybe we can try." ”

Hearing Hugo's words, Fokine suddenly interjected, "Is it ......?" but stopped again, signaling for Hugo to continue. Hugo looked at Fokine, and the two exchanged glances, and each other actually understood each other's meaning, obviously, the two of them thought of each other, which made Foquin's eyes flash a hint of banter, and he seemed a little excited.

Looking at Hugo and Fokin, Neil, who was standing on the side, seemed to have caught something, and couldn't help lowering his eyes and thinking. But Pedro couldn't bear it anymore and shouted urgently, "What? What the? Say it! Hey! Hugo a Lancaster!" As soon as I was in a hurry, I had no sense of proportion in my speech.

Hugo couldn't help but ask, "I mean, how much acting time did the Grammys give us?" Pedro was about to say "Isn't the whole show cancelled...... but was stopped by Hugo, "I mean, it's the time for our band." ”

Although the tribute to Kurt Cobain was canceled, the Grammys also made relative compensation, the Sound Garden, Glory to Death and Nine Inch Nails have all arranged performance times, and Pearl Sauce has no news for the time being, but Hugo guessed that if the Grammys want Pearl Sauce to attend the awards ceremony, the performance time will definitely be given, just to see how it is arranged.

Of these bands, Glory to Death is clearly the most valued – otherwise the Grammys wouldn't have given them seven nominations. So, Glory to Death has a full eight minutes of performance time and can perform three songs — a reduced version, or two full songs.

However, since Glory to Death had just gotten the news, they hadn't had time to discuss how they should perform and which songs they would perform. But now, Hugo has a new idea.

"We perform 'One Step Closer' (OEP. closer), and 'Won.Erwall), two songs, and during rehearsals, we told the Grammys that we were going to perform the full versions of these two songs. But after we go back, how about we practice separately and insert the full version of 'Youthful Heart' in the middle of the two songs?"

Hugo thought as he spoke, and then expressed his thoughts.

In an instant, the expressions of Pedro and Alfonso were very exciting, and it was obvious that both of them were shocked by Hugo.

Nirvana's "Youthful Heart" is undoubtedly their masterpiece, and the full version of this song is a full 5 minutes and 41 seconds, which is almost two-thirds of the time of the glory to death performance. Of course, even the Nirvana band itself performed a version of more than three minutes and forty seconds in many public appearances, and this version of the Glory to Death performance was enough.

But the point is, Hugo's idea is really shocking, and it's not just about sacrificing his own band performance time to sing another band's classic track - of course, this is also the point, no band can be so "stupid"; At the same time, it is also the glory to death that runs counter to the idea of the organizing committee, and at the scene of the live broadcast in the United States, the spirit of rock and roll is vividly expressed.

"If the Grammys teased us, why can't we tease them? We can do it our way, and as long as it's good, there's no reason for them to say no, right?" Neil had actually expected it, and when Hugo said it, he suddenly realized that not only was he not nervous, but he was a little excited, and the blood that had cooled down just now was boiling again.

And Fujin also looked eager to try, and it felt even more exciting than performing a song that glorified him to death.

Pedro, who reacted, was almost about to scream, standing on tiptoe, jumping anxiously, muttering, "Really? Are you sure? Really?"

The smile on Alfonso's face paused, then it bloomed, and his eyes looked at Hugo expectantly, "Should we go to Dave and Grohl or...... Can you talk about the rest of the band?" If you want to sing a song by Nirvana, you must get permission from the band.

Hugo shrugged, "I don't think, look at our performances then, if they are satisfied, maybe they won't charge us royalties." (To be continued [provided by Brother Su Ge].
