walk with jimmy
Chapter 8
During the rehearsal period, Lance has been automatically responsible for leading everyone.
He does his best, is serious and rigorous, and pays great attention to professionalism, but sometimes he is too serious, especially when he is in a hurry, he often reveals his nature, speaks without choice, does not show any affection to others, and is so mean that people want to jump off the building.
Bassist Theo Welkin was scolded by him because of his sloppy nature and lack of self-motivation, and almost wanted to quit the team when he lost his mind.
Sometimes when there is a lot of trouble, James will take the initiative to step forward and quietly remind him, 'Think about the garage, brother'.
Lance was so angry every time, grabbing his collar and growling: "What do you mean? Do I care about a garage?"
But afterwards, he did die down and be kinder to Theo (James: huh).
For this reason, Theo, who didn't know it, was very grateful to James, who always spoke for him.
Their friendship grew by leaps and bounds.
Of course, it is also good to have a tough leader.
Under Lance's unrelenting command and supervision every day, everyone cooperated more and more tacitly.Even sometimes, when he glances over, the members can immediately understand, and hurry up to play, knock, and sing.
"It's like I'm not in an amateur rock band, but at the Royal Academy of Music."
Theo secretly complained to James.
But James thinks this is very good. As a beginner, it is always good to practice more.
Moreover, unlike Theo, the only child, as the youngest child of the Lemon family, he has long been accustomed to living under the orders of his father and brother, so he has no objection to this kind of disciplined practice. Seeing the good side, for example, he has learned a lot of songs now, and he can basically tune every song, which is really a big improvement.
Theo probably just complained casually, just to get his mouth full.
In fact, he is the one who has improved the most with his guitar foundation. He has now played the bass in a decent way, and occasionally can play a little difficult technique.
As for Baldwin, it goes without saying that he has been playing steadily!
Every drumbeat of his seems to be able to hit the tip of the heart accurately, boom!Boom!Boom!
So far, the Planet choir, no, the Planet band has quickly mastered about twenty pieces of music.
Most of them are Beatles songs, but there are also three or four recent hits.
The band members entered the expansion stage, and they all started to move around.
They began to collectively look forward to getting out of the old garage and looking for a broader stage.
But performance opportunities are not easy to find.
At this time, there were a lot of people playing in the band, and there were many powerful characters among them, and a team that had just formed a team and had no reputation and performance could not compete with these bands for the time being.
In order to get a chance to perform...
Everyone made a rather difficult decision: to perform without pay.
- Lance's great idea.
This handsome boy full of ideas and full of heart thinks that the main task of the band is to train soldiers. Only when everyone is proficient on the stage and the audience, and they cooperate with each other to the point of seamlessness, can they be considered a qualified band.And a qualified band will have more opportunities to make money in the future.On the contrary, if you worry too much about money now, you will miss a good opportunity for growth.
The reasoning is very good.
only……
James, who was immersed in the music, finally remembered one crucial thing:
During the month of rehearsal, except for the two pounds in the first week, Lance never paid him the agreed salary. Maybe everyone has been too involved recently, so, forgot?
So, he went directly to find it.
Here's a conversation between two people:
"Lance, do you still owe me three weeks' wages?"
"Have it?"
"some."
"Oh, then you keep the account first and pay it back later."
Wages can still fucking be kept in accounts?
James was dumbfounded and speechless.
But at this time, he had completely fallen into the pit and couldn't get out.
Leaving aside the shitty music dreams, I worked hard to rehearse for almost a month, and now I quit my job, wouldn't all the previous sweat be in vain?
The good news is that there are people in the band who are more miserable than him.
Theo, who has his own garage, once said in surprise when James complained about the salary: "What? There is still a salary to join the band? Aren't we just for dreams?"
James immediately regained his balance.
Later, whenever it was his turn to move equipment and clean the venue for the band, he always liked to call Theo over to do it together: "For the dream! For the dream! For the dream, man!"
Later Theo never spoke of dreams again.
James understands him.
But complaints are complaints. In fact, everyone knows it in their hearts.
Needless to say, James; Baldwin ran away from home for music in his early years, and finally managed to get ahead, but the band disbanded, and then he had no way out, and was so poor that he almost sold drums (a set of drums is still quite expensive); if Theo If you don't join the band, you're just a low-level gangster on the street, doing nothing all day long, eating at home and eating your parents, and you don't have much money.
Therefore, at present, the band's finances are all supported by Lance.
His family background is one of the best among all the members, coupled with his good studies, he can get a scholarship every year, and the savings are also a large sum.But the problem is that his expenses are equally large. For example, he paid for Theo's bass; in addition, he has to buy guitars for himself, speakers and external amplifiers for the band. Things are huge pits that can't be filled!
When you're not doing things, you often feel like you can't run out of money.
But once you do something, you need money for everything. This world is really fucking useless.
But even in such a difficult situation...
He still stubbornly insists on the long-term plan of "training performances without pay, until the band's level really reaches the passing line, and then consider making money". compromising.
What else can you say?
Although they all privately think that Lance is too demanding, but they also know that this is for everyone's benefit, so they can only redouble their efforts to practice and strive to make Planet a mature band that can make money by itself as soon as possible.
So in the rehearsal stage, they all practiced like crazy.
The craziest ones should be James and Lance.
At Lemon's house, Old John and Linde had to face a psychopath who would sing intoxicatedly even when taking a bath or going to the toilet, but there was no turning back, and James couldn't stop at all.
In fact, he was also at a loss in his heart, and those fears about the changing fate and unknown life often came to his mind.
Thanks to some goddamn angel, he has no idea what else to do but sing.
Lance, on the other hand, was much simpler.
With the halo of top student on his head, his parents are at ease and seldom care about him, so he began to stay at Baldwin's house for a long time to practice guitar.
Since Baldwin only had a single bed at home, he went to the second-hand market and bought a cheap thick mattress to sleep on.
But because he always tossed and turned when sleeping on the mattress, he could not sleep night after night, and the dark circles under his eyes were getting bigger and bigger. In the end, Baldwin had to give up the single bed that belonged to him (he later suspected that Lance was pretending Yes, the purpose is to grab the bed and sleep).
But no matter what, Lance successfully occupied the small single bed and started the road of doves occupying the magpie's nest.
Leaning against the wall, he curled up in the corner of the bed obediently in a rare posture, his beautiful face was full of enthusiasm and earnestness, he was holding his first lover tightly in his hand, a common telecaster Guitar (manufactured by Fender, with a neck made of cheap white maple, elegant and classic in shape, with a crisp sound. In order to be dazzling and distinctive, he painted a few scattered stars on it), and then, Ignore all the sounds around you, concentrate on continuing the day's practice, and play the repeated melody over and over again.
Some melodies are nice to listen to once.
But if you listen to it a hundred times in a row...
Baldwin Barlow was so annoyed that his head exploded that he could only go out for a walk in the middle of the night.
He later publicly stated on the TV show: "Most of my good temper is hardened by Lance's selfish bastard."
Finally, they started one performance after another.
It's completely different from what I imagined.
Wedding ceremony, birthday party, big family dinner party, mid-year party of a certain company...
Usually the people who hire them don't want to listen to some hard rock music, just because the band doesn't want money.
The only time I make money is when...
——Hey, pretty guys, come to the song "Just be happy" [Note 1].
--what is that?
——Aren’t you a band?
--right.
——Then sing, "Just be happy."
—Yes, but I can't sing this.
——Aren’t you a band?
—Yes, but we are rock...
——If you are a band, you should be able to sing. Forget it, what can you sing?
——Twisting and Howling [Note 2].
--What?How could anyone enjoy listening to this shit?horrible!Don't howl here, here's a pound, get out!
——……Thanks.
