Superstar

Guns and Rose's "Vermicelli Incident" is a very special album with profound historical significance.

Guns and Roses released two albums "Use your fantasy i (use...i and "Use your fantasy (use... at the same time in September 1991. These two albums were released as soon as they were released. Won the first and second place on the Billboard Albums Chart, and once again staged the miracle of two albums taking the first and second place at the same time. At the same time, the band also accompanied these two albums to the highest peak in the band's history.

After the promotion of these two albums, Guns and Roses began a world tour that lasted for nearly two years. During this tour, the inspiration for the band's creation was Izzy Sterling (izzy.) Because he was not used to the fatigue of large-scale world tours, he announced that he had left Guns and Roses. Facts have proved that the impact of the rhythm guitarist's departure on Guns and Roses is fatal, because after that, the band has not created any good songs, let alone an album.

While the Guns and Roses' world tour was continuing, a historic album topped the billboard charts. This is Nirvana's "Don't Mind". The blows Nirvana brought to the entire pop music industry were thorough and deadly. They completely buried the era of rock and roll. The grunge rock they advocated made all mainstream rock bands look like clowns without any thoughts. And the soul, even Guns and Roses, which were still at their peak in the first half of 1992, could not escape the impact of Nirvana.

In the end, "Using your fantasy i" and "Using your fantasy" on the bulletin board gradually became too weak, and at this time the Guns and Roses were still exhausted on their endless world tour. When the band's tour finally ended, the world had already changed into another appearance. The grunge rock led by Nirvana and Pearl Sauce was the mainstream of the whole society.

"The vermicelli incident" is the beginning of the real decline of Guns and Roses. The band hopes to turn things around by releasing this punk cover album. Although the album has received a lot of praise, it is helpless to lack the existence of the band’s creative soul. Spirituality inevitably disappeared, not to mention the violent impact of garbage rock on the entire traditional market. Therefore, the "fine noodle incident" became a witness to the irreversible decline of guns and roses. After that, the band fell apart and fell apart. In the next three years, the band has been doing nothing, and the Guns and Roses have existed in name only.

Therefore, the "Thin Noodle Incident" airborne the third place on the bulletin board in the first week of release, but this result is a piece of data that has no value for Guns and Roses.

Regardless of the billboard album charts, just look at the rock classification charts. The top six albums in the second week of December are from Pearl Sauce, Mitter-Laffer, Guns and Roses, Glory to Death, and Broken. Pumpkin and Nirvana.

During this, leaving aside Nirvana's internal and external troubles, the sales of the "Inside the Uterus" album were overwhelmed by direct competitor Pearl Sauce, leaving aside. For the current top six albums, Mitt Laufer has always been an alien of rock. His music has been an alternative route since 1977. Pearl sauce and Nirvana represent important forces in the peak period of grunge rock; glory to death. Broken Pumpkin represents an attempt to break the dominant alternative rock force in the grunge rock family.

Only guns and roses. What they represent is the traditional hard rock that has continued from the 1960s. This traditional force has fallen far behind the pace of the times. The grunge dynasty has been incomprehensible to them, and now it is glorious. Another wave of reforms represented by Till Death and Broken Pumpkins has come. This makes Guns and Roses suddenly fall to the bottom after their peak period. The huge gap has also created more intense contradictions within the band.

The decline of guns and roses also reflects the strength of pearl sauce and Nirvana, and at the same time makes the glory to death and the rise of broken pumpkins more obvious.

The glorious "Almost Fame" was released with 110,000 sales in the first week and 190,000 sales in the next week. The rate of increase is really shocking, and it also allows people to see the strength of alternative rock coming together. In 1991, the entire music industry witnessed the epic change brought about by Nirvana Band "Don't Mind". Only two years have passed since this change, and another wave of dynasty change has come again.

Compared with the broken pumpkin, the glory to death music is closer to the development trend of the times. The mix of pop, hardcore, electronic, punk, British, metal, and garbage in their music makes rock music more capable. Rich diversity and more intimacy at the same time, this also made the album "Almost Fame" accompanied by hot discussions, and was quickly accepted by the audience. Sales nearly doubled in the next week. This is the most Good proof.

1993 was a magical year. Rock albums ushered in a full explosion this year. In addition to pearl sauce, nirvana, smashed pumpkins, guns and roses, Mitt Laufer, there are also goatskin bands and radio commanders. It appears in the public eye, and there are many other bands and albums worth mentioning.

These albums are all works that have left a mark in the history of music. If you want to discuss those rock works that are not well-produced, I am afraid that there are countless, but even so, this batch of albums alone is enough to show in 1993. A splendid scene full of flowers.

Among them, there are many bands such as Shen Yun, Capri, and Bjork that are amazing for their first appearance, and there are also bands such as Blot and Goats that rely on a classic album to prop up a piece of sky, and fast-track bands. , Smith spacecraft, Bob Dylan and other veteran rock musicians. It can be said that there are an endless stream of outstanding rock and roll albums throughout the year.

There are also some outstanding bands that have not released a new album, but are still active on the tour stage. The band, the Rolling Stones, the metal band, Bonjovi, and the Green Day have all contributed wonderful performances, which also made the whole year full of richness. Rock colors.

In the case of the popularity of grunge rock, the impact of alternative rock such as Shen Yun, goatskin, stain, Kabriel, Radio Commander, u2 band, Manic Street Preacher, Bjork, Radio Commander, etc. has gradually shown its impact. power. This also proves "q Magazine"'s accurate speculation on the changes in the entire music trend.

In addition, the British rock forces represented by the goatskin band and the stain band have risen strongly, and have formed a preliminary rivalry with the American rock forces represented by Nirvana and Pearl Sauce, and the new generation of American rock forces such as the broken pumpkin band and the tool band have emerged. It also adds weight to the rivalry between these two music nations on the other side of the Atlantic.

In this wave of rock and roll, the appearance of glory to death is undoubtedly a powerful impact, and it is also exceptionally special.

Glory to Death is different from any alternative rock band. Their musical styles are difficult to explain in a unified manner. From a general perspective, Glory to Death is similar to the rise of a group of British rock bands such as goatskin, stain, and Shen Yun. However, they also have the pedigree of American rock. This makes the band’s style overturn the current fixed thinking brought by grunge rock in a direct and brave way, thus triggering an earthquake in the entire American rock industry. discuss.

As a new-generation band, the music style proposed by Glory To Death is undoubtedly unique. More importantly, the band’s exploration of the rock spirit has risen to a whole new level, from the formation of the band to the soul of the band, from the band From the actions of the band to the music of the band, we can clearly see the ideological innovation and progress of the generation who received education in the 70s and 80s: the integration of ethnic cultures, the turmoil and change in the post-World War II era, and the fierce impact of the national economy. , The unpredictable international political situation ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ The imprint of the era of glory to death is deeply carved into the soul of the band, forming a strong impact.

In the history of the United States, with World War II as the dividing line, two completely different cultures have formed. People born in the 1950s are relatively traditional and stable, and are referred to as the "quiet generation"; followed by the baby boomers, who pursue freedom of thought and sex. Liberation is the creator of modern American economic prosperity and the glorious experience of rock and roll. This generation can last from the sixties to the early seventies. It is also the most mature generation in the entire American culture; as of rock and roll The generation before 1977 was called "Generation X", typical individualists, but also considered lazy, lacking sense of responsibility, and enterprising.

All members of the glory to death are baby boomers. They grew up in rock and experienced the baptism of the hippie movement. Their thoughts and spirits have strong characteristics of the times, which also makes their music integrated A lot of mind emancipation, breaking stereotypes, and embracing the breakthrough spirit of freedom, but also with the vague characteristics of the X generation, not afraid of obstacles, rebellious and other characteristics.

This also made Glory to Die occupy an important place in the glorious 1993. Only two weeks after the release of "Almost Fame", Glory to Die was truly almost famous. ()
