The 417 controversy has risen.

New York in September is divided into two halves by summer and autumn, and you can see people wearing short-sleeved and short-sleeved 'pants' on the streets, as well as walking in 'woolen' jackets; When I woke up in the morning, I looked at the gloomy sky outside and thought about bringing an extra coat, but at noon, I wanted to wear only a single coat to hide in the sun...... Standing on the street often gives people the illusion of 'touching' their heads.

By the time Glory Death departed from San Francisco in early July and arrived in New York in late September, it took nearly three months to complete a road trip across the United States. After nearly 200 performances, Glory to Death finally arrived on the East Coast.

Although Glory was not formed until the end of May, and it has only been less than four months, they have experienced countless performances, large and small, and the tacit understanding between the band members has gradually grown, and there is no problem if the band has been established for two or three years. It can be seen that this road tour has a huge effect.

In the whole process, Pedro's growth is undoubtedly the biggest gain, professionals like to call the bass the cornerstone of the band, in the eyes of outsiders, the bass seems to be a dispensable existence, and even many people can't distinguish the bass from the guitar, which is a very regrettable. The bass player plays a crucial role in the improvement of the band, and it is not surprising that a good bass player can make the band rise by several steps.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the lead singer is the most eye-catching in the band, the guitarist is the representative of the internal technical flow of the band in recent years, and the drummer controls the rhythm of the band as the heart of the heart, but to improve the overall strength of the band, the bass player is the core link. Pedro's rapid growth has raised the strength of Glory to Death by at least two levels.

Returning to New York, Hugo remembered the performance he had performed with Fokine on the streets, and it was during that performance that he created the song "Lithium", which also became an opportunity for Fokine to join the glory to death.

The Glory to Death show on the streets of New York is definitely a breeze, and their performance in Greenwich Village quickly got into the groove, attracting more than a hundred onlookers in less than twenty minutes, and this is in the absence of a group of loyal fans such as the Casvi brothers and Pinkerman.

Joshua Cranston arrived early in Greenwich Village to await the glorious death-defying performance, the same Columbia University fan who had been in love with Hugo and Fokine on the streets of New York, and since then, Joshua has been deeply attached to the yet-to-be-formed band. Joshua knew Hugo and knew that he was an actor, so Joshua has been keeping an eye on Hugo's movements ever since.

At the end of the summer vacation, Joshua heard about the band "Glory to Death", and he learned about the feat of Glory to Death from the West Coast to the East Coast, which made Joshua envious and regretful, envious of the 'fans' who were able to follow the band all the way across the United States, and regretted that he was not able to be one of them.

Joshua was able to hear about this because the trivial news of glory to death can be heard in underground rock circles in major cities in the United States, his hometown is a small town in Alabama, and he has nothing to do with rock and roll, but even then he heard a few words, but he didn't realize that this band was what he was looking for. By the time Joshua came to his senses, he had returned to New York to prepare for the start of school in September, and he still remembers the ecstasy that followed his astonishment.

Today, there are many admirers and do-gooders in New York's underground rock circles who want to go to the scene to see the glorious and deathly performances, whether with admiration or critical eyes, always want to see how much strength this "daring" band really has, is it an exaggeration? How much real 'sex' is there in the rumors.

So more and more spectators gathered in Greenwich Village, and the performance of Glory to Death was originally just a small Guangpi Stadium, but it was soon crowded with the crowd, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least 300 people or more, and the scene was blocked. What if the excitement made people think that a big star had suddenly come to the streets?

Joshua actually believes in the strength of the band, because Hugo and Fokine have shown enough ability, but as a loyal rock lover, he clearly understands that the band is a whole, and the 'color' of individual ability is of course very important, but whether the cooperation between each other can play the effect of one plus one is greater than two, this is the essence of the band, so Joshua is nervous and expectant.

But after listening to the song "Lithium" for the second time, Joshua's eyes began to burst with tears, and it has to be said that the first mention of Fokine and Hugo for a road tour was the most important turning point in the glory to death music career, because this move gave an amazing vitality to a band that was less than half a year old.

Listen to the screams and shouts of the scene, which has gone beyond the street performance, and looks like a singer who has actually released an album is holding a small concert, and the live applause adds a lot of light to the performance. In the face of such a noisy scene, the band played more and more 'fine', releasing infinite energy, and easily conquering the hearts of every audience at the scene.

In between performances, Joshua tried to look back to see how many people were there, but unfortunately he was standing in the middle of the crowd, and he couldn't see the surging crowd behind him. This surging affection allowed Joshua to immerse himself completely.

Due to the large and complex audience, everyone's views on the band are also diverse, basically there are still three factions, support, opposition and neutrality. But when it comes to rock bands, there are always fewer neutral music 'fans', either like it or hate it. The same is true of glory unto death.

Since the music style chosen by Glory to Death is not the same as the current 'tide', this caused a fierce dispute on the scene. Some people think that the band's music is completely rubbish, terrible, and completely ruined the essence of rock 'and roll', and the real rock should be the 'trend' led by the Nirvana band now, and the glory to death actually weakened the complicated arrangements and guitar solos, and instead added keyboards, which is simply an insult to rock

There are also those who think that the band is unique, injecting their own style into the music, giving rock and roll a life that has never been seen before, and although they are different from the current fashion trends, they express their own understanding of rock and roll, which is a shock to everyone, and it is an aspect of the continuous development of all music, including rock. The most important thing is that the performance of Glory to Death for emotions is different from the paranoia and sharpness of previous rock bands, not necessarily political governance, not necessarily darkness, not necessarily venting, they write the most ordinary emotions in life into the melody, so that rock can also become the cry of everyone's heart, which is really commendable.

As for the views of neutral people, it is very simple, they don't care if this is a subversion of rock and roll, as long as the music itself is 'colorful', there is no problem, if you like it, you stay, if you hate it, you leave, it's a very simple truth.

This is New York, where countless cultures come together, and New York gives everyone a sharp perspective, unlike Memphis, the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, where people seem to be a little impetuous, and the controversy over glory to death has erupted like never before.

The performances on the small Guangpi field in Greenwich Village gradually became 'hot' because of the 'fierce' dispute, but it was a bit noisy, which made the performance of the band Glory to Death seem a little fragmented. Joshua was furious about this, because the arguments were ruining a 'fine' performance, and although Joshua himself had some doubts about the music of glory to death, he was more of a neutral 'fan', and he just liked the live performance of the band, and he didn't want to defend the band, but he didn't want to blame the band either.

Just when Joshua thought the band would stop performing, Glory to Death gave him another shock.

A series of heavy drumbeats sounded in the noisy streets, and the heavy drums unhurriedly carved out a world in the noise, and then brought out Hugo's slightly hoarse voice, "Well, I met a dying old man on the train, no more direction, no more pain. Well, he said, 'Before I die, there's only one thing... Never let your fear dictate your fate. ，”

Listening to the lyrics, a small number of people at the scene stopped arguing and listened to Hugo's lyrics, trying to 'figure out' the meaning of the lyrics. In the chorus, the five band members sang in unison, "I said, 'Yes... Strangle your hero Kiil. your。 heroes) and then fly, fly, baby don't cry.

Hugo's powerful voice seemed to be a weak but firm voice that had found its place in the midst of countless arguments, and the audience at the scene had their own thoughts, some fell into deep thought, some were more disdainful of the band's music, some even raised their middle fingers at the band, and some bravely stood up and applauded the band.

Joshua was originally just appreciating the music, but at this moment, it was as if there was a protective shell in his heart, and it cracked a little bit in the calm and powerful drum beat, and then a whole new world unfolded before his eyes. At this moment, Joshua suddenly vaguely touched the truth: why so many people are willing to follow glory all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast, and why so many people will discuss this band in rock circles.

What would it be like to follow this magical band on another journey from the East Coast back to the West Coast? Joshua thought uncontrollably.
