Chapter 156 Under the Cherry Tree

A band really can't have two drummers.

But before James came to the door, Ablitt had already secretly investigated and weighed who was going to stay, but he had not yet reached a final conclusion.

According to experience, Abe, who has always been a member of the band, is undoubtedly the best choice for the band;

But in recent years, due to Ablett's domineering style, the old players complained a lot, and Abe naturally did the same. Therefore, Ablitt intends to replace him with the new and more obedient Hooks.But Hooks has been here for a short time, and he is not convincing for the time being. Besides, he is not sure whether he is fully qualified for the role of drummer, so he is still hesitating...

As a result, James came to the door without saying anything, and brought the hidden contradictions to the surface in a very wicked way, forcing people to choose one or the other.

However, the two drummers in the team may have similar thoughts. They were poked at the center for a while, and they also "surrendered" and asked him to give the selection result immediately.

Ablit was angry and anxious.

But things have come to this point, the conflict has been intensified, even if the two bastards Xingxing are driven away, the problem of the two drummers in the team must be resolved.

In the end, he hesitated for a long time and chose to give up Aibei.

But if James hadn't been so arrogant to come to the door, he might not have made such a decision. After all, Abe is an old member with good skills, and he has cooperated for many years.

But James and Lance have been so bluntly asking for Abe, it always gives him the idea that 'Abe and the planet have a good personal relationship'.

As a result, he was a little uncomfortable, and he was very reluctant to leave a drummer with another band in his heart (Abe: I am not I did not I only had a drink with them once).

So Abe was kicked out of the house in such a baffling manner.

When he left the Naughty Boys band with his drum kit in his arms, his whole expression was dumbfounded.

"What's going on, buddy?"

He said with a confused face: "I just, I (was) changed the door just like that?"

"Yes! You belong to our planet now."

James patted him on the shoulder boldly, and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, don't be afraid! From now on, we will be good teammates! With me covering you, you just need to play the drums well. I have a good temper, Bi Abley It’s good to talk a lot.”

"Good teammate?"

Abe looked at them hesitantly: "Really?"

James nodded heavily and said, "Of course."

Even Lance raised the corners of his lips and gave him a friendly smile back.

Abe reluctantly showed a smile: "Okay!"

Then he begged for help and said, "Come and help me move the drum, it's too heavy."

Move the drums?

Lance suddenly lowered his head and looked at his watch: "I have an appointment with Abel in 5 minutes. In this way, you go back first and see you later."

James looked not far away: "I want to go to the video store over there to buy a record. In this way, you go back first, see you later."

Abe stared dumbfounded as the two slipped away so naturally.

Holding the heavy drum kit, he stood there sluggishly: Wait, isn't it a good teammate?Won't you even help move the drum?fraud!

But no matter how tricked, kidnapped, stolen...

Anyway, Planet has a drummer again.

After Abe settled himself down, they seized the time and had a short rehearsal in the rented rehearsal room.

Just, the drum beat!

James and Lance couldn't help but look at each other.

They both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: "This style is not the same as Baldwin's."

You know, Baldwin has always liked to play drums steadily, and occasionally he would play some tricks when the mood came.

But most of the time, he stays behind the scenes, his drum sounds are simple but full of power, and, due to his relatively shy personality, he rarely performs exaggerated movements on stage.

But Abe is different.

There was a little young man's frivolous feeling in his drumming, and each drum seemed to be hit to the real point, one after another, the sound sounded a little erratic, as if it was about to fly.

Moreover, apart from the music style, his performance has a wide range of movements, and his two arms are waving extremely violently. Although he is sitting on a stool and knocking, his upper body is also shaking back and forth, shaking his head, and his facial expression is gnashing his teeth... The overall impression is impressive. The feeling is passionate and compelling.

Musically, he played the drums just fine.Although the style is different from Baldwin's, but after all, the drum skills are first-class, and can also be integrated into the song system of the Planetary Band, so as to indirectly bring another new element and fresh vitality to the Planetary Band;

But from the perspective of stage performance, Lance somewhat disliked Abe's redundant and exaggerated movements.

However, he can't be picky anymore, the European tour is coming soon, the news that the band will release a new album has also spread, and there is a mountain of work piled up in front of us, we can't live without a drummer...

Thus, Abe officially joined the planet.

He was in the studio the day he came.

At that time, Lance had prepared about [-] songs for the next album, and planned to carefully select [-] songs from these [-] songs and put them in the new album.

This also means that Abe had to learn about fifty new songs in the shortest possible time when he first arrived.

He stared blankly at the sheet music, and said to himself sadly over and over again: "I'm on a thief ship! I'm on a thief ship! I'm on a thief ship!"

Bassist Sanderson nods beside him, feeling the same way.

James smiled and didn't express any opinions, but he would buy beer for everyone from time to time; and Lance... In Abe's words, "he was like a brutal slave owner who had just acquired a new slave, excitedly waving his whip to let the slaves They work like hell'.

But complaints are complaints, and Abe is still very serious about his work.

While rehearsing with the Planetary Band, he worked hard to learn the fifty songs, and learned all fifty songs in a time close to the speed of light.

During this process, James and Lance quarreled several times. The reasons for the quarrels were various. It might be because of the song selection, it might be because of the stage styling, it might be because of a short lyrics, and it might be because of what to eat at noon?

Although they still love each other, due to the huge differences in personalities and concepts, they can quarrel over anything.

And, without Baldwin pulling it off, the two often quarreled endlessly.

Bassist Sanderson is simply not good at handling the situation.

He often stood by and worried, talking to himself under pressure: "What can I do? What can I do?"

Abe, the new drummer, watched the scene with interest.

Probably because the Urchin Band is not a harmonious band, he adapted to it very well, and after a few days, he offered to help add fuel to the fire.

That day, when James was in a hurry and wanted to hit Lance on the head again, Abe naturally stuffed the drumstick into his hand...

At that moment, the air was quiet.

"What the hell are you doing?" James couldn't help asking.

"Help you the weapon." Abe replied naturally.

"Who the hell told you that I'm going to use a weapon?"

James asked again in astonishment.

"Aren't you going to fight?"

Abe also replied in surprise: "Isn't it okay for me to help you?"

James looked at the drumstick in his hand and was speechless for a while: ...

Abe was still urging from the side: "Hurry up, hurry up! After the fight, we can continue recording songs."

James and Lance fell silent.

Only the bass player Sanderson couldn't help asking: "Abe, you, do you always fight in the naughty boys?"

Abe laughed and replied, "Why, brother? What are you thinking? Of course I don't want to fight!"

Just when Sanderson breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me just say, except for the weirdness of planets, how can there be a band all day long..."

But before he finishes speaking...

Abe added: "I usually get beaten."

Bassist Sanderson was numb for a moment, thinking: "Is there a normal band in this world? I really miss my band. We don't have any bad habits except for studying black magic."

In short, James and Lance couldn't keep arguing anymore after being interrupted by Abe.

Maybe this is... No matter what the method is, drummers have their own persuasion function?

Everyone refocused on the recording of the new album.

At this time, the music scene is changing rapidly, and the new albums of Dancing Sculptures and Clowns are all well received.

On the contrary, the Planetary Band fell a little bit at a disadvantage.

After all, today's bands look too much like a motley crew. The members are patchwork, and they haven't been working with each other for less than a year; It's really pitiful.For a while, all the media began to sing bad news, and some people guessed their disbandment time.

But the stronger the competitor and the worse the situation, the more motivated James is.

He tried to cheer his teammates up by shouting, "Dude, do you know where we're going?"

Under the unresponsive eyes of Abe and Sanderson...

With a cigarette in his mouth, Lance replied with a smile: "Top of the world!"

They asked and answered, their attitudes were so calm and taken for granted, as if they were confident that they had already won.

The two members Aibei and Sanderson who came in halfway were immediately emotionally infected, and they no longer continued to be nervous and uneasy.

The productivity during that time was amazing.

Recording one song a day, plus post-mixing, the new album was completed in less than a month.

This album called "Accident" was also well received once it was released.

But it’s different from the fact that every song in <Starlight> was well received by the public.

In the album <Accident>, a song called [Cherry Tree] has completely become the most classic masterpiece of the Planetary Band at this stage.

The song was later named one of the top ten sad songs in England.

——When we grew up, we met under the cherry tree and chatted politely with each other about our youth.

— We're talking about being best friends, but we're going our separate ways.

—until we all forget...

——Under the same cherry tree, what kind of flowers have bloomed.

When he sang this unusually sad song in the recording studio for the first time, James, who was still wearing big headphones, suddenly realized something.

He raised his head involuntarily, and his green eyes fixedly looked in the direction of Lance.

The black-haired guitarist also seemed to notice something and raised his head.

He stared at his blonde lead singer for a long time through the glass.

——We have all forgotten what kind of flowers bloomed under the same tree.

Later, James wrote in his diary: [It wasn't until this song came out that I realized that Lance also had flesh and blood and could be hurt.He is not as indestructible and ruthless as he appears.For him, the departure of Baldwin and Theo should not be as easy as it seems.He just... always makes himself look like an asshole. ]
