Chapter 10: Lincoln Park
A total of six platforms have been set up on this one-mile long street, and each platform has a different band performing. The audience can go to the stage of their favorite music type and favorite band to truly feel the frenetic atmosphere.
Jacob Tebow led the way. They arrived a few days ago, so they are very familiar with the distribution of the stage here. "Gloomy Mind" is a rock band, so it is natural to go to the rock stage. Although there were three or four thousand people at the scene, because the street was relatively long and everyone was concentrated in front of the stage, the aisle was not so full of water.
Gu Luobei followed behind the three members, watching while walking, feeling the strong atmosphere of the music festival, but when passing a stage, his footsteps stopped. There are very few people standing in front of this stage, only a few dozen people, and there is definitely no more than a hundred people. On the stage, a girl sat alone on a high stool, and her hoarse voice came out from the microphone. It seemed that she was in danger of being drowned at any time in the sound of surrounding speakers, guitars, and drums. It's singing the blues. Although the voice was not loud, the elegant voice seemed to be drawn from the soul bit by bit, attracting Gu Luobei to step forward little by little.
The girl's black hair was permed into a curly shape like instant noodles, which was casually draped over her shoulders, her hands were on the microphone stand, her head was half lowered, and the outline of her face was looming behind the shadow of her hair, making it difficult for people to see clearly. Her voice is very textured. Although the blues she sings is very unfamiliar, she skillfully roams through various transpositions. control every sound. It's definitely an aural feast!
In fact, this girl's singing skills are absolutely amazing, but the blues she sings is a little quiet, and the stage around is full of passion at the moment, which naturally makes this stage imposing. The audience will be so small.
Gu Luobei leaned forward, hoping to see the girl's appearance clearly. If such a good singer can find a good producer, his future achievements will not be small. If there was a scout on the scene, it is estimated that this new star would have been discovered long ago.
Gu Luobei was almost close to the stage, which was very conspicuous in front of the "sparsely populated" stage. Although it was possible that others would stare at him with strange eyes, Gu Luobei didn't care. The **** the stage also noticed the probing figure in front of the stage, but she was very focused on her singing, did not cast her eyes, just glanced in the direction of Gu Luobei. But before Gu Luobei could see clearly, a force came from behind him and pulled him back. Gu Luobei stepped back from the stage several times in a row. If it wasn't for his good balance, he would have fallen to the ground long ago. First he moved to the stage, and then he was pulled out directly. Gu Luobei was completely embarrassed. The expressions of the people around him who were listening to the music were different, which was very exciting.
Gu Luobei doesn't care about other people's eyes, but someone pulls his collar directly.
"Which idiot?!" Gu Luobei turned his head and said it directly, but at this time, the music around him was booming, and Gu Luobei's voice could not be heard clearly, only the mouth shape could be clearly seen.
Looking back, it was Jacob Tibo. He saw Gu Luobei roaring, shrinking his neck, and then said with a smile, "We all walked forward, thinking you were lost." This was said in Gu Luobei's ear, so he could still hear it clearly. But after roaring, Jacob-Tibo also felt a sore throat. He pulled Gu Luobei and walked to the main street. It was a long way from the stage. Although he had to speak loudly, it was done.
"There is a super cool band performing in front of you, you will regret it if you don't watch it." Jacob-Tibo pointed to a stage more than 200 meters away, "You stay behind and act alone, how can you do it? Do you know how difficult it would be to find someone in the crowd if it wasn't for you being too conspicuous in front of the stage?" Jacob Tibo pulled Gu Luobei and walked forward, this time he kept holding Gu Luobei He seemed to be worried that this active young man would sneak away again at any time, "Where did you go just now? Could it be that you fell in love with that girl?"
Gu Luobei is famous, not only charming, but also a gentleman and a good talker to girls. It can be seen from his performance at the Lotus Bar, and he is also a big celebrity in Harvard University. When Jacob-Tibo said this, the envy in his eyes could not be concealed. The children still in college were in a period of strong hormones, so they naturally admired a character like Gu Luobei.
"Yeah, I look good, but I don't see the front." Gu Luobei didn't deny it, he admitted it as a matter of course.
"That girl? It seems to be Alicia, invited from Columbia University." Jacob-Tibo said casually, although he didn't know very much, "She also sang the first song this morning, and the effect was very good. Yes. It's just that it's the lively afternoon, and fewer people listen to the blues."
Alicia? Gu Luobei searched the memory in his mind, but he knew that an excellent R&B singer was also called this name, Alicia Keys. This young female singer not only sold amazing records, but also He also won multiple Grammy trophies. However, Gu Luobei only vaguely remembers that Alicia Keys made her debut in the early 21st century, and the exact year is not so clear. Alicia's genius girl.
Before taking a few steps, the noise of the stage interrupted Gu Luobei's thoughts. After focusing his eyes, he saw Gillen Haas and Bruce Sterwood standing on the main street waiting, even Bruce - Sterwood's eyes couldn't help floating on the stage, as if he was a little anxious, so he could feel the enthusiasm of that stage. Seeing the figures of Gu Luobei and Jacob-Tibo, the two nodded, and then squeezed into the stage.
There are about seven or eight hundred people in front of this stage, which is the most lively of the six stages. Obviously, the popularity of the band is not small. Gu Luobei didn't move forward specifically, but stood at the end, listening to the rhythm of the melody and involuntarily began to beat.
At this time, the song just sang the chorus part, "I'm about to collapse, I need a little space to breathe", the lead singer in the black vest on the stage held the microphone with all his strength and roared with all his strength. Unbelievable sparks rubbed in the audio and video, which made people's blood boil. The audience at the scene was screaming with all their might, and the shocking power of metal rock was undoubtedly evident at this moment. The shock from the melody and the shouts crowded from all sides of the scene makes people lose their way, and they only know that accompanied by the music, they roar wildly and swing their heads wildly.
Gu Luobei didn't bother to think about anything else. In just one second, he was captured by this frenetic atmosphere and joined the ranks of madness together. It's no wonder that this band can gather so many people, their music and live are really outstanding, especially the surging shouts that make many young people who are lost in the four walls and unbearable on the edge of choice, seek it out. When it comes to healing-like comfort and shocking resonance, it seems that every cry and every swing is a vent, venting all the positive and negative emotions in my heart at once.
When the chorus ended and entered the second stanza, Gu Luobei found that he was sweating profusely, and his excited expression could not be concealed. That's the beauty of music. Listening to the lyrics carefully, this song expresses the state of mind of being on the verge of painful love, unbearable, and deciding to make a clean break and devastated life. A simple "collapse" touched the darkest depths of countless young people's hearts. More importantly, although this song is completely the dark style of an underground metal band, the chorus melody also contains commercial potential that is not cliché, which can capture the hearts of many ordinary music fans. In other words, from the niche to the public.
When the lead singer's heart-piercing "shut up" sounded in his ears, Gu Luobei suddenly realized that he knew the band and the song, but he was too involved just now and didn't have the mind to think about it for a while. That's it. The song is called "One.Step.Closer", and it was Linkin Park's first single when it debuted in 2000. The reason why Gu Luobei remembers it so clearly is because when this song appeared, it shocked the mainstream media. In the end, the debut album "Mixed Theory" released by Linkin Park in 2000 won more than ten million copies. Sales, can be called turned out to be.
Linkin Park is one of the best live performance metal rock bands in the world, playing heavy metal, punk, new metal, hard rock styles, and also has a place in mainstream music, the theme of the live-action "Transformers" trilogy The songs were all sung by Linkin Park. Definitely has a big place in contemporary rock bands.
The phrase "shut up" in the speaker was still shaking everyone's eardrums, but Gu Luobei didn't expect to see Linkin Park at the Eagle Rock Music Festival. Although Linkin Park was born in California, in Gu Luobei's memory, they should have released an album at this time, and they also performed the debut song "One Step Closer" on the stage, and only held the three-time Eagle. The Rock Music Festival logically does not invite artists to come. There may be two reasons, one is that Linkin Park has finished recording the album, but it has not been released, so they still come to the Eagle Rock Music Festival in the Los Angeles area; the second is that the album has been released, in order to promote the first single , Linkin Park has chosen Los Angeles-native Eagle Rock Festival.
But no matter the reason, Gu Luobei was a little excited to be able to feel the charm of Linkin Park music at the scene. Music, at any time, is the most shocking scene, which is the fundamental reason why the concert fascinates so many people.
