Glory to Death and Green Day, the two most dazzling and successful rock bands in 1994, they already had a personal relationship, this time they met unexpectedly on the Grammys, walked the red carpet together, and set off an unparalleled storm of youth, which also made the subsequent red carpet seem a little boring.

Henry followed the band from a distance to the front hall of the Holy Great Hall, where the band was about to enter the auditorium to welcome the beginning of the ceremony; But Henry has another task, he has a heavy responsibility, he has to confirm the sound engineer, the cameraman, and other links, to make sure that the Glory to Death performance can go according to their plan, and success or failure is in one fell swoop.

Tonight is the Grammy ceremony is only the second thing for Glory to Death, and this performance is the most important thing.

Seeing Glory to Death talking excitedly to the members of the Green Day band, Henry walked briskly, but out of the corner of his gaze he saw a familiar figure on the right hand, it was Mariah Carey.

Maria wore a long blue dress today, and the design of the waistline raised perfectly showed off her proud upper circumference, so that people could ignore the shortcomings of her slightly disproportionate lower body, but the blue color was not quite suitable for her, and fortunately, her fair skin covered up this shortcoming.

Standing next to Maria was her husband, Tommy Mottora. Tommy is the president of Columbia Records, and it is obviously only natural that he will be present at the Grammys. Tommy put his arm around Maria's waist and smiled and talked to Babyface, while Maria put one hand on her waist and concave position, even though it was not a red carpet, she did not relax in the slightest, hoping that when a reporter photographed her, she would maintain her perfect demeanor.

Maria is still the same, just like she was at the beginning.

Henry's gaze paused slightly, it was expected to meet Maria today, although Maria did not release a new album in 1994, only a Christmas album, but this Christmas album sold very well and is trying to move towards the best-selling Christmas album in music history. Maria was also nominated for Best Female Pop Artist for the single "Hero", and it was a matter of course that she attended the awards ceremony.

Henry quickly withdrew his gaze as if he had not seen Maria. As for what Henry was thinking in his heart, only he knew.

"Guys, just go in and I'll take care of the rest." Henry simply said that it was not convenient for him to say much because of the presence of the Green Day band, and the fact that it was a public place with so many eyes and ears. But Hugo, Neil and others still gave Henry a positive look, and the anticipation in his heart was irrepressibly open.

After watching Henry turn away, Billy Joe looked back and forth between Hugo and the others with a curious expression, "So, is there anything to look forward to?" He didn't understand what was happening, but it seemed like there was an urge to try it among the members of the band who were glorified to death.

Hugo pursed his lips and shrugged, "Let's see what happens." A meaningful sentence did not answer Billy Joe's doubts, but only made him more curious.

Maria stood there a little bored, and Tommy and Babyface were talking about some changes in the music industry, as if they were talking about the impact of rock on the mainstream music market or something, and Maria was not interested. But she can't have any relaxation either, it's a Grammy, an occasion full of shots, and she needs to be perfect all the time.

Maria's gaze drifted uncontrollably towards Glory to Death and the Green Sun Band, not only because of the crowd of people, but also because the incident on the red carpet had become the focus of countless discussions. It's hard to imagine that there is a singer who can have such an appeal on the red carpet, and the earth-shaking beat has echoed in my mind for a long time, which is enviable. "By the way, weren't Tommy and Kenny talking about the red carpet sensation in the first place?" Babyface's original name was Kenneth Bryan Edmund (Kenh). brian。 edmonds）。

Just as Maria was thinking, her gaze suddenly stopped, it was Henry Bloom. Maria lifted her chin slightly, straightened her slightly bent back to make herself look more perfect, glanced haughtily at Henry, and then slowly looked away, wanting to express her pride—she didn't want to have anything to do with Henry.

But then Maria turned her head and looked at Henry, who had not paused or signaled any moments, and he had ignored himself like that. Until Henry turned around and disappeared backstage, Maria was not able to come back to her senses, which was a shame for her! She is the one who turns away, she is the one who holds the initiative, she is the one who chooses to abandon him!

"Hmph." Maria snorted lightly, Henry is like this, there is always an unapproachable loftiness in his bones, as if he is the only one in the world. He wants her to focus on music, but she doesn't think there's anything wrong with making her music more popular and commercial, isn't it just to make money by becoming a singer? This time her Christmas album sold very well, although it was said that it was a move to make money, but ...... So what!

Maria lifted her chin and glanced contemptuously at the glory to death, even if the fans cheered them on? They will always be just non-mainstream niche singers, they will never be recognized by the Grammys, the Grammys canceled the commemoration of Kurt Cobain, outsiders don't know much about the inside story, but Tommy, as the president of Columbia Records, knows it very well, so Maria naturally knows their situation now. So...... They were just farmers who had come from a rural village in Arkansas to visit.

But she's different, she's got two Grammys, and she's won several trophies at the American Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards, and she's the only singer in the entire music scene who can be compared to Whitney Houston. She and them are two completely different levels.

Thinking of this, Maria picked her eyes contemptuously, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the conversation between Tommy and Babyface, "The energy brought by this band is indeed commendable, and the whole market looks different now......" Hearing the babyface's praise, the expression on Maria's face stiffened slightly, and she asked, "Are you talking about glory to death?" ”

"Yes, of course......" Babyface replied affirmatively, which made Maria almost unable to control the expression on her face, but for the sake of her image, she still narrowly suppressed her emotions and smiled reluctantly, but looking at Babyface's constantly opening and closing lips, her attention wandered again, "It's all a bunch of ****!" ”

Glory to Death did not discover Maria's existence, mainly because they had a good conversation with the Green Sun band.

Tonight's Grammys seem different than imagined, especially for Hugo.

When Hugo participated in the Golden Globes and Oscars before, before the official start of the ceremony, it was actually a very important social occasion, whether they were familiar with each other or strangers, they were very happy to say hello and talk a few words. That's why many second- and third-tier actors dream of attending the Oscars, because they can talk directly to the top stars and they respond politely.

But that's not the case today at the Grammys. Hugo's side was very lively, not only the Green Day Band, but then when Pearl Sauce arrived at the scene, he also came to their side for the first time, and then there was the addition of the Nine Inch Nail Band, which became even more lively. Although occasionally other singers come over, such as Elton John. John), for example, but in general, Hugo, all they talked to were people from the alternative rock scene.

The Grammy crowd seems to be divided into three sections, the mainstream music singers, country, pop, rhythm and blues, soul, etc. are all in this section; Mainstream rock singers, such as Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Guns N' N' and the Roses, etc., are representatives of this section; The rest are the "Alices" who have just broken into this strange world this year, Glory to Death, Green Day Band, Nine Inch Nail Band, and so on.

It's as if they're outsiders isolated from the noisy feast in front of them, much like alt-rock is now in the American music scene. Even with the glory of Nirvana, even with the collective lì of the "Seattle Sound", even if there are countless grunge rocks that have directly spawned the birth of new metal rock, they are still a group of people who have been isolated and forgotten.

It's like the nouveau riche, although their assets have reached the top level, but without heritage and inheritance, they will always be isolated from the upper class. Although rock 'n' roll has a long history, the Hui of the sixties and seventies influenced the culture of the following half-century; But after nearly two decades of absence from mainstream society, the mainstream music market has marginalized rock and roll.

There is still a long way to go for rock to return to the heart of the mainstream.

This situation has also sparked the enthusiasm in the hearts of the Honor to the Death team members, who are despised by the Grammys because of this social status quo, whether it is the nomination controversy last year or the cancellation of the Kurt Cobain memorial session this year, even if Nirvana and Pearl Sauce have sold tens of millions of albums, even if Honor to Death dominated the record market in 1994, but this situation has not changed substantially.

So tonight, they are going to set off an unprecedented change, they want to completely release the rock spirit in their bones on this so-called mainstream stage, and announce their existence!

"Ready? The show is about to begin. Before walking into the studio, Neil looked at his companions, and the nervous love came again, only this time in addition to the nervousness, the excitement and anticipation became the hotter storage in his eyes.
