Chapter 63 Guitar, Guitar!

As a rock band, if the audience is still sitting still after the show is over.

That is failure.

Apparently, Planet doesn't have to worry about that.

When they finished singing the first song, many teenagers stood up uncontrollably, stomped, whistled, and even jumped onto the chairs excitedly, creating waves of sound below the stage, The momentum is huge, not like an audience, but like a band's extra performance troupe.

The band did not let them down either, performing hard one after another, trying every means to attract the attention of the audience.

The audience who came to support the first performance undoubtedly had many fans of them, so they were extraordinarily devoted and crazy at this time.

Some keen musicians have noticed that this phenomenon seems to be not only the magic of music, but also the best display of the individual charm of the four young people on the stage, especially the blonde lead singer and black-haired guitarist.

Whenever they smiled at the audience, or leaned in front of a microphone to sing a line or two together, the vast majority of the female audience immediately screamed in support.

When the blonde lead singer James Lemon is off the stage, he just looks like a bit of a naughty street youth, but when he stands on the stage, he can use his amazing singing voice and strong body movements to release extremely The contagious emotion and power easily make the audience cry with him, laugh with him, sing with him, and move their bodies involuntarily together;

The appearance advantage is the most obvious, and the most handsome black-haired guitarist among the four appears to be relatively low-key.

But if someone observes carefully, he will find that he actually knows how to present himself better than the lead singer.Although he will not be as active as the lead singer, he will always pick the right moment just right, casually looking at the auditorium and raising the corners of his lips, his blue eyes quietly looking at the unknown front, but he successfully creates a kind of The excellent effect makes every audience have a sweet illusion of 'he is smiling at me and watching me'.

Of course, although drummer Baldwin and bassist Theo may be slightly inferior in expressive power, they are not doing nothing.

Both of them also have their own place in the band.

Baldwin always has a calm and atmospheric feeling when he plays the drums.

He seems to be in command of thousands of troops, but he is always in command, and his skills are amazing.The two drumsticks seem to have life in Baldwin's hands, like two butterflies flying up and down. When he swings his arms and speeds up to beat the big drums, the audience often only see some ghosts .

As for the bassist Theo, who always likes to be in the limelight, he rarely interacts with the audience when he is performing.

Every time, he just flipped his fingers, looking crazily immersed in the music, frantically shaking his head, and at the same time shaking the rows of tassels on the leather jacket, vigorously waving his arms, twisting his body, When the notes flew out one by one, it was like the whistling of an airplane passing by at low altitude.

When these four people performed on stage, their indescribable co-time and tacit understanding completely integrated into a whole.While showing off their musical talents, they also make full use of all their own advantages, unscrupulously exuding all the energy and extreme passion that a rock band can show to the audience.

They are like a huge vortex, involving everything around them, spinning and flying with them.

The audience couldn't divert their attention at all, they could only stare at the stage intently, their heartbeats quickened, and their faces couldn't help being mixed with surprise, obsession and fanaticism.

In the eyes of some well-informed music critics, the Planetary Band's musical innovations are not great, but their performances are indescribably charming, especially the passion of dedicating everything, which is completely ignited from the beginning to the end. , never perfunctory for a second, and vowed to make every pound spent by the audience worthwhile.

In such an atmosphere, the music critics and music reporters who came here with tasks, although they were still struggling to maintain a calm and rational outsider's position to think, but under the infection of this atmosphere, they couldn't control it. Immersed in it.

After almost two hours of the performance, the entire audience was no longer seated in their original positions.

They all stood up, shaking their heads and twisting their bodies to the music.

At this time, the time is approaching the end of the performance.

The blond-haired lead singer was still singing and running on the stage without the slightest slack to mobilize everyone's emotions, although his voice has gradually become a little hoarse.But this kind of hoarseness did not affect his performance. On the contrary, when he sang the song "African Bison", it brought a different kind of wild feeling.

Especially when he ran back to the center of the stage, jumped on the speaker, and looked down at the audience like a god...

Everyone screamed for him almost uncontrollably: "Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!"

James looked down at the audience, his sweat-drenched blond hair hung down his forehead, and his cheeks were flushed, all of which showed physical exhaustion, but there was still excitement in those green eyes.

So, after only a few seconds of pause, he smiled at the audience again, raised the microphone again, leaned back slightly, roared out the last line of lyrics with all his strength, and then slammed the microphone hit the stage.

Amidst the screams and shouts of the audience, the stage lights went out!

Almost immediately James crouched uncontrollably, panting wearily.

At this time, the guitar technician quickly ran onto the stage and handed Lance another guitar with a different tone.

While changing the guitar, Lance asked his lead singer in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

James waved his hand back, indicating that it was all right.

Another staff member also ran over, first handed him a round tambourine, went to pick up the microphone, and set the stage hastily at the same time.

After making sure everything is ready...

The lighting engineer turned on the stage lights again.

The eagerly awaited audience immediately burst into even more enthusiastic applause.

James stood up straight again, shook the tambourine, and jumped off the speaker with a smile as if nothing had happened. He also took off his sweat-soaked and sticky T-shirt and threw it aside. Amidst the screams and whistles, he stood shirtless in front of the standing microphone that the staff had just placed there, blinked a pair of innocent green eyes, and jokingly introduced to the audience: "Everyone, the next song is also The last song of the show - [CrazyLance]."

The black-haired guitarist immediately turned his head seriously, and corrected a microphone next to him, "It's [CrazyNeverDie]."

James made a face at him and repeated emphatically, "Oh, Crazy... CrazyNeverDie."

Lance no longer corrected him, but smiled helplessly at him.

At this moment, the music critics and journalists, who had been overly absorbed by the surrounding atmosphere and almost forgot about the business, finally woke up like a dream.They hurriedly focused and waited for the live performance of this super long single.

But in fact, these people have already made up their minds.

Just from the fascinating and wonderful performance before, it can be seen that unless any of the four people on the stage accidentally made a mistake, otherwise, as long as this single maintains the standard of the previous songs, it will never disappoint.

By this time James was ringing the tambourine again.

He used the tambourine to send out crisp and dense bells to remind the audience: "Hey, listen, Guitar, Guitar!"

Then, a strange guitar sound sounded slowly...

The audience subconsciously shifted their eyes from the blonde lead singer to the handsome black-haired guitarist.

Some of the music critics who were knowledgeable and had heard this single in advance immediately lifted their spirits and secretly said in their hearts: "Here we come, a very blues-style slide guitar.",

The so-called slide guitar is a guitar playing technique.

It originated from black music at the earliest. When black guitarists living at the bottom played guitar in the early years, in a relatively simple environment, they would directly take beer bottles, or cut off the main body of the beer bottle and use only the neck of the bottle as a slider. Therefore, this technique is also called bottleneck, and even now, some guitarists still use beer bottles to play when they want to pretend.

Lance obviously wasn't interested in bottled beer.

Therefore, he just wore a cylindrical metal finger cot on the ring finger of his left hand, and pressed the strings to vibrate the strings.During this process, his expression was extremely focused and intoxicated. As he played the ordinary guitar, it produced a rare and mournful tone, which was a smooth feeling as if butter had been applied to the strings. , One after another, crying like complaining, it can almost crush a person's heart.

After a 40-second guitar solo of pure skill, the bass-heavy drums cut in, followed by the bass.

However, the prelude of the pure instrumental music lasted about 1 minute, but the beauty of this instrumental music is like the sound of nature, from low humming to roaring, the reverberation echoes continuously, and people will never have the feeling of 'this is very long'. .

James stood in front of the stand microphone, and instead of running around, he held a tambourine and shook it to the beat.

After the prelude was over, he stood on tiptoe, looked up at the microphone that the staff seemed to have turned up a little too high, and sang the first line with a very clear high pitch: "CrazyNe~verDie..."

For a moment, the audience was silent.

Someone later recalled: "Lance's skills really make people want to kneel, but Jimmy's voice is enough to make stone cry."
