339 Musical Power

Hugo sat in the chair and excitedly unwrapped the gift he had just gotten in his hand, and the impatient expression looked like a three-year-old sitting in front of the Christmas tree, which made Joseph laugh dumbly, "Do you really like it that much?" I've never heard the name of this band. ”

"Joe? What a 'brilliant' band it is! You really should listen to this album with me. Hugo looked at Joseph with a disgruntled expression, but he did not stop moving in his hands, and quickly took out the cassette. In fact, in the 21st century, the cassette has basically disappeared, and even the sales of CDs are declining, as a generation of the new century, Hugo is more familiar with digital sound sources, so when he sees a cassette with a historical retro taste, Hugo is still a little curious.

At present, the filming of "Schindler's List" is nearing the end, and there are still two irrelevant parts left in Hugo's role, which can be officially completed. However, Hugo did not leave the crew early, but chose to stay, waiting for the entire crew to finish together, and then return to Los Angeles together.

As the scene draws to a close, Hugo can finally relax completely, but now the more difficult problem is to get A'mon and Gos to rise from the depths of Hugo's heart little by little, which is an extremely difficult task. In order to divert his attention, music was obviously a wise choice, so Joseph made a special trip to buy the album as a gift at Hugo's request.

"Aha!" When Hugo saw the cover on the cassette, he couldn't help laughing, this cover was actually two men kissing with their upper bodies, and sure enough, it was the goatskin band (suede) that he was familiar with. Hugo couldn't wait to put the cassette into the Walkman, "Do you want to enjoy it together?" Hugo took the earplugs, gave one to Joseph, and asked.

Joseph stood there and hesitated for a long time, then sat down next to Hugo and took the earplugs.

Founded in 1989, the Goatskin Band thought that they would only release one album at most when they debuted in NJN0, but this belief proved wrong, and in the following decade, the Goatskin became one of the most influential British bands in the 90s, making immeasurable contributions to British indie rock music, and until LJ 2014, the Goatskin Band was considered one of the greatest bands since Smith.

Throughout the '90s, British rock formed a powerful storm around the world, and it was the Stone Roses who appeared in 1989 to 'cloud' this storm, but it was the goatskin bands who really kicked off, and the band's self-titled album "Suede" released in 1993 - that is, in March of this year, is widely considered to be the beginning of the British rock storm in the 90s. Brett Anderson, the lead singer of the band. Anderson's 'sexual' appearance and singing voice, coupled with the unique arrangement of the compositional genius Bernard Butler (Berler) and the seductive and smooth cadenza guitar, outlined the band's 'gloomy' and decadent 'color', making the band instantly ascend to the palace of rock classics.

The goatskin band has always had a distinctive 'color' in the rock 'wave' and 'tide' that has been revitalized in recent years, with a bold, mysterious, treacherous, 'sexy', lively, arrogant, and pop style, this maverick attitude has made the band have not achieved anything in the first four years after its establishment, newspapers and magazines, British audiences, agents, and record companies do not think that they can create good results, because the performance is lackluster, there is no charm at all, and the style is extremely boring. Their public performances were even more miserable, and the audience did not cheer at all.

However, since l992, the development of rock music has moved towards a situation where the prosperity must decline, and the diversity of rock and roll has gradually sprouted in the underground rock circle, and bands with a unique style such as goatskin have gradually attracted the attention of the public, and their live performances have begun to attract more and more music lovers, and the mainstream media has also locked their attention on goatskin.

Before the release of the goatskin album of the same name, the British mainstream media had huge expectations for the album and was hailed as 'sex'. The pistol band released the album "Don't Care About Nonsense" in l977. bolloks)" after the most anticipated album.

In March, after the release of the "Goatskin" album, it lived up to expectations and received rave reviews from all walks of life, and the album easily won the top spot with a record result, far surpassing the second-ranked rival Depeche. mode) sold four times as much; At the same time, it has also become a choir since 1984 when Frank went to Hollywood (fra0. the。 pleasure。 dome) album, the fastest selling album: the album became a gold record the day after its release - the UK's gold record certification is 100,000 copies.

The birth of the Goatskin Band also officially opened the most glorious rock decade in the history of music.

The Goatskin Band represents a new decadent demon 'Yan' rock style, gorgeous and popular arrangements, lead singer Bright's morbid demon 'Yan' and arrogant poignancy won a round of applause, their music is deeply influenced by British punk and glam rock, both rigid and soft, in the "Goatskin" album, eleven songs can almost be said to be the first classic, but also become an indispensable and important member of the brilliant rock decade.

Listening to the familiar music coming out of the earbuds, Hugo only felt comfortable all over his body, after coming to Los Angeles in 1992, Hugo was very unaccustomed to the company of music, especially when he had thousands of songs stored in his portable music player, and he could immerse himself in music anytime and anywhere, and now those classic tracks have not even appeared, which makes Hugo quite frustrated.

The music of the goatskin band is not only 'colorful', but also represents a period of time, almost every rock band has experienced a stage of decadence and 'confusion', which is just like the colorful and yellowed memories of the youth 'spring' period in memory, which will always be the most special mark in life. Hugo was no exception, just hearing the first song on the album, "So Young (S0. Young: "Hugo had a clear picture in his mind.

It was a stage made of a small mound of earth, and in front of it were three children playing with mud and two idlers with their hands crossed in front of their 'chests' watching the lively scene. Zhang Xiaoye, the guitarist who took away, broke out directly, pointing at the two idlers and roaring, "Do you know what rock 'n' roll is?" The two middle-aged men shook their heads innocently, then turned away in a gloomy manner.

"At least our performances are accessible to all ages." Hugo's answer came to mind, causing the rest of the band to laugh and cry.

Hugo involuntarily closed his eyes and savored Bright's bewitching and gorgeous voice dancing lightly on the eardrums. The passage of time becomes unimportant, and the beating and concatenation of notes and notes make the sand of time fall slowly, and then disappear silently between the melodies, and only after the A-side is played, the quiet enjoyment is interrupted.

Hugo turned to look at Joseph, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile, "Well, this is called enjoyment." "Because of playing the role of 'Meng', Hugo's eyebrows have not seen such a clear smile for a long time, and those eyes full of evil aura have regained their original brilliance.

Joseph Yan's expression couldn't help but relax a lot, "Are you sure of your current state and go to play the remaining two scenes, is there no problem?"

Hugo pouted, "Don't worry, the remaining two scenes are long shots, and the expression requirements are not so delicate." ”

The acting experience of "Schindler's List" is, strictly speaking, a real breakthrough in his past four films, which is more difficult than the rivalry of "Yihai Xiongfeng", and more difficult than the entry into the play of "Sleepless in Seattle", and the inner struggle and entanglement go deep into Hugo's bone marrow. Although Hugo is smiling happily now, he knows that it will be a long time before he can really get out of the impact of this scene. Therefore, it is estimated that Hugo will not accept the new script for the next period of time, and he needs to adjust it well.

It turns out that acting is also a body lì work.

"I think I kind of know why you love this album so much." Joseph took off the earbud in his right ear and handed it to Hugo, "When you are filming, I can enjoy this album alone." This made Hugo chuckle, and Joseph continued, "Their music has a contagious power, and although I can't say anything specific, after all, I'm not a musician, but I like it, yes, I like it." ”

Hugo immediately laughed triumphantly, it is also a happy thing to share music with friends, music has this ability, which is one of the reasons why Hugo has such a good relationship with Neil, Pedro, Green and others.

"I've heard that power in your music as well, and now I really feel like you should be a singer." Joseph nodded slightly, affirmatively.

For the first time since last year's audition for "Smell the 'Woman'", Hugo created "Second Chance" (SED). For the first time, Joseph had such a firm idea, because he could feel Hugo's passion for music, and this enthusiasm could be felt when Hugo was fully engaged in the performance, and he could also feel it when he was listening to the music of the goatskin band just now.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders, the smile on his lips full of confidence, "I'm trying, aren't I?"

"But I don't think your band is doing very well." Joseph remembered the band Hugo had been playing for the past two months, but there never seemed to be any further news.

"We never found the right drummer and keyboardist, so we couldn't form a band at all. ”

"Drummers I know are indispensable, you know, guitars, basses, drums and whatever," Joseph doesn't know much about the band, but he still knows the basics, after all, the rock 'roll' has swept the United States in recent years, "but keyboardists?"
