Great Artist
Chapter 90: Like a lifetime
Although it is only a rehearsal, Linkin Park is still very rigorous, adjusting the instruments without a trace, and it is indeed a band with the title of the best live performance in the world.
In the golden autumn of October last year, Linkin Park officially released their first album by Warner Records, \"Mixed Theory" first wave of the title song is the one that allowed them to get a record contract, \"Further". As soon as the album was released, it was hugely popular and sold astonishingly. In less than three weeks, it rushed to the top five of the Billboard B) chart, and has remained in the top five to this day.
Billboard was founded in 1894. After more than 100 years of development, it has become the most authoritative ranking of song popularity in the world. The bulletin board is mainly based on sales volume and radio on-demand, which is converted into points, and then collected into various charts, the most famous of which are the album chart (P200 album chart) and single chart (T100 single chart), in addition There are also charts in various music categories, making it the most watched music chart in the world.
The current record for the Billboard singles chart belongs to the Beatles and Maria-Kelly, with the Beatles having the most number one singles with 20, followed by Maria-Kelly and Elvis with 18: The number of weeks that the single lasted at number one was Maria-Kelley's seventy-nine weeks at the top, and the Beatles in runner-up at fifty-nine weeks.
Billboard's album chart record belongs to another diva-level singer, Whitney Houston, who she released in 1 year. The soundtrack of the "Bodyguard" movie is proud of its 20-week championship, and the runner-up position belongs to, \ "Titanic" movie soundtrack, the third place is Whitney Houston's debut album of the same name.
Linkin Park's achievement is not the only one in Billboard's more than 100-year history, but it has really inspired the entire independent music market to achieve this result with an independent metal rock band that has struggled for many years. Although Warner Music's strong publicity and strong sales channels play a role that cannot be ignored, the high quality of Linkin Park's debut album is the decisive factor. , \"Mixed Theory" This album is called the first classic by fans, and it is also praised continuously by professional music critics.
After the accumulation in the last two months of last year, after entering 2001, the good reputation of "\"Mixing Theory" spread, and sales naturally rose steadily, and finally this album stayed in the top five of the Billboard album chart for seventy-five Zhou, achieved seven million copies sold, and won the 2001 US album sales champion.
Although Gu Luobei can't remember the specific sales figures of \"Mixed Theory", but in 2001, Linkin Park was born in the sky, but I have a clear memory. Now that I have experienced this process in person, I feel more and more incredible. On the stage, what Linkin Park is rehearsing is the third single of the first album, \"Last I This song has also become one of Linkin Park's most famous songs, but now it is because of Gu Luobei's song, \"Finally" inspired. If Gu Luobei did not create a new song based on inspiration, but directly plagiarized this song, \"finally", will the development of Linkin Park be affected? However, this is destined to be an unsolvable problem, and the butterfly effect of rebirth is really an inexplicable account.
Different from Gu Luobei's version, \"Finally" Linkin Park gave full play to the powerful roaring voice of the lead singer Chester Bennington, bursting out all the energy of the faint song. Even if it was just a rehearsal, it still got a round of applause from the scene.
Although he had a relationship at the Eagle Rock Music Festival before and had a good talk in the afternoon, Gu Luobei didn't think that he and Linkin Park were very familiar friends, so he didn't come up to say hello, just Standing ovation to congratulate.
Now there are not many people in the seats under the stage, and with Gu Luobei's conspicuous size and temperament, people are instantly recognizable. Chester-Benington saw Gu Luobei and couldn't help but waved a smile and waved hello. Immediately afterwards, Brad, Delson and others also waved in the direction of Gu Luobei, and then continued to walk to the side stage.
, \"You know them?" Sean-Mayer couldn't help but ask curiously, the rise of Linkin Park has made independent musicians very lively for a while, and he naturally understands it very well.
Gu Luobei nodded and said, "\"I met at the Eagle Rock Music Festival. "As he was about to sit down, he saw Chester Bennington said a few words to his teammates, turned his head and walked towards Gu Luobei.
It was only a few dozen meters away from the stage, watching Chester-Bennington approaching little by little,
Gu Luobei dropped the word "something" from his face. Although he didn't know exactly what it was, the light of doubt in his eyes was still obvious.
Gu Luobei stood up again and walked out to the middle aisle, with the smile that had not faded just now on his face. "\"The rehearsal was very exciting. "
Chester Bennington was also not humble, smiled and nodded as a sign of gratitude."\"I thought I didn't see you appearing, but I didn't expect you to come anyway, it's something to be happy about. "
Gu Luobei saw that Chester-Bennington had no intention of knowing the three friends behind him, so he did not introduce them, and when the other party came up without thinking, Gu Luobeixia was stunned. stunned..., what? Did someone say I won't come? Gu Luobei didn't know if there would be a list of performers for this concert, anyway, Sean-Mayer didn't mention it to him, so Chester-Benington's remarks were indeed inexplicable.
Chester-Bennington shook his head and didn't go around in circles any more, just said "\"I saw the melancholy mood in the rehearsal, but the lead singer was not you, and I felt very sorry. "Chester-Benington's words made Gu Luobei's eyebrows pick up slightly, but Teddy-Bell behind him exchanged glances with Eden-Hudson, which seemed to mean that they were not friends.
Gu Luobei's eyes did not hide his rejection of the melancholy mood, and said lightly, "\"Well, I left the melancholy mood, and now I'm going it alone. "
When Chester Bennington heard this, not only was he not surprised, on the contrary, he showed a hint of joy."\"I'll just say it. "Chester-Benington's emaciated cheek pulled a faint smile, inconspicuous, but the joy came from the bottom of my heart. It's perfectly normal for an indie band to be on and off, Chester-Bennington. Bennington and Linkin Park have both experienced this kind of thing, so it's really not unusual for Gu Luobei and Melancholy to part ways. If it's just this, it's certainly not worth Chester-Bennington's special trip. Now, the focus is still to come."\"The quality of Melancholy's music is really bad now, and it doesn't have the style of a rock band at all. It's really insulting\"The name of Melancholy". After the Eagle Rock Music Festival, the name was But the representative of the rising star is here." Chester Bennington's eyes flashed with deep disdain, making Gu Luobei laugh dumbly.
It seems that Chester Bennington is also a hater of hatred, just because of a melancholy mood, he changed the lead singer, and he didn't see Evan Bell, who he originally admired very much, so he made a special trip to consult.
Most independent musicians are arrogant and full of personality, so it is always difficult for them to be recognized by the mainstream. But even if there is no way to become popular, these independent musicians are not willing to give up their integrity and compromise with commercial music. Even if Linkin Park signed with Warner Records, the first album released still maintains their own characteristics, because in the eyes of these independent musicians, if they lose their own personality and characteristics, they have lost the foundation of their foothold. Gu Luobei and them are the same kind of people.
Melancholy gave up his persistence for the future and chose to become an idol band. Even if they released an album, these independent musicians looked down on them. It's just that Gu Luobei didn't expect that the disgust in Chester Bennington's eyes was so strong. Could it be that their music this time is too vulgar?
,\"What about you, this time you're here to perform?" Chester Bennington quickly put the topic of melancholy behind him, and brought the topic back to Gu Luobei. Gu Luobei turned his head. Glancing at Teddy-Bell, Teddy-Bell immediately understood, took out a CD from his bag, and Gu Luobei took it and handed it to Chester-Benington "\"I released a single . "A simple sentence is enough to understand.
Chester Bennington took the disc, looked up and down, and saw it on the back, \"11 produced, 〖free〗to release" and immediately understood: Gu Luobei still chose the hard path of being an independent musician . On this road, Linkin Park stumbled and still could not find a way out, but Gu Luobei resolutely chose to persist,
Chester-Bennington naturally speculated that Gu Luobei rejected the opportunity to sign with Melancholy to Universal Music, which made Chester-Bennington's eyes have more admiration.
People are really afraid of comparison, and there is a gap when they compare. The choice between Gu Luobei and melancholy mood is not wrong, but in the eyes of different people, it will show different values~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the eyes of Chester Bennington, he stands on the right side. On the side of Gu Luobei.
,\"I will look forward to it." Chester Bennington waved the CD in his hand, the disgust in his eyes dissipated again, and was replaced by a deep joy.
Looking at Chester Bennington's back, Gu Luobei smiled. It has only been a little over half a year since the Eagle Rock Music Festival, but it feels like a world away. Linkin Park has released an album, Melancholy has released an album, and he has released a single, and once again gathered together at a concert, but the relationship between them has completely changed.
However, how could this melancholy album make Chester-Benington so annoying, but Gu Luojing's curiosity suddenly surged up. Admittedly, he also had a little gloating.
,\"North." Teddy Bell's voice sounded softly in Gu Luobei's ear. It seemed that he heard the conversation just now and was a little worried about Gu Luobei, so he stood behind Gu Luobei. But at this time, Teddy Bell seemed to see something, patted Gu Luobei on the shoulder, and pointed in the direction of Chester Bennington's departure. ,\"Look."
Looking down Teddy Bell's fingers, it was Jacob-Tibo, Gillen-Haas and three other strangers behind, Bruce-Sterwood at the end, the group of six and Chas. Special Bennington met head-on.
