Chapter 1222 Let You Know What a Rogue in an Instrument Is

How did they come here? I poked my head out of the window and saw that there was a rock band singing at the intersection not far away. There are countless rock bands, and it is very common to perform on the street, but they are usually in other places in the village. Why did they come here?

The area where Shen Long lives is where classical musicians gather, while the area where rock singers gather is on the other side. The big guys usually don't interfere with each other. What's the situation today?

"Hey, James, what's going on?" Shen Long asked when he turned his head and saw the pianist James next door poking his head out of the window.

"They moved here from over there. They live in the building in front. In fact, they have been performing here since yesterday. You just didn't hear it when you went out." James also looked distressed, and the loud sound of rock music also stopped messed up his practice.

"Did no one talk about them?" Since I was not the only one affected, why didn't other people stop it?

"Why not? Elliott and Thomas upstairs went to ask, but they ignored him, and he didn't have a good idea." James shrugged.

Oh, I understand a little bit, people who are engaged in classical music pay attention to a gentleman, and then look at those who play rock music over there, either their hair is blown up, or they have tattoos on their bodies. Shen Long took a look at their attire and guessed what was going on.

In the minds of classical music practitioners, the impression of rock musicians is not very good. They are usually labeled as violent, gangsters, etc. It is really difficult for a group of cultural people to persuade them.

"Would you like to go down with me and have a look? We can't work if we keep arguing so much!" Shen Long wasn't afraid at all, so what happened to the violence? Beat me? What's so great about gangsters, does the chairman of the National Gangsters Association know? Shall we find a corner and have a good chat?

"Uh, no, I haven't finished playing today's song!" James was still filled with righteous indignation just now, but now when he heard that he was going down to talk to those rock singers, he immediately faltered. He was afraid that Shen Long would pull him over, so he hurried away The windows are closed.

Hey, I’m actually not afraid, whether it’s alchemy or magic, there are ways to keep the noise from disturbing me, but Guo Yan still needs to practice when she comes back. practise.

Well, since you are all scared, then I will go down by myself, isn't it just a few rock singers, even if you come with a group of gangsters, I am not afraid, so Shen Long put on his coat and walked downstairs.

Come to the crossroads,

Looking back, James seemed to appear at the window again, secretly looking at him behind the curtains; and the rock singers in front of him saw Shen Long's outfit and saw him coming out of that building, so they couldn't guess His identity, so not only did they not stop, but the quarrel became more and more vigorous.

The drummer's drumsticks fell on the drum kit like raindrops, the guitarist's fingers trembled as if they were convulsed, and brought out a miserable win on the string panel, and the lead singer howled at the top of his voice.

A few pairs of eyes glared at Shen Long, trying to scare Shen Long away. That's what they did yesterday, but why hasn't Shen Long seen such a big storm? When he was carrying a Chicago typewriter and killing all directions in New York City, these guys probably haven't been born yet, and they don't care about it at all, and they still stand there calmly listening to their music.

Hey, let alone, there is something about these guys, the guitarist’s old Fantaji is bold, clear and dynamic; the post-modern lyrics with profound meaning gushes out from the vocalist’s circumflex and powerful voice, which makes people feel happy. The female bassist's slender fingertips control the flame-like jumping feeling; the drummer's drumbeat is step by step in a seemingly rigid manner; the keyboardist knocks out a more spatial new wave keyboard tone, and the whole band The sense of thick oil paint in the works is ready to come out.

As expected, it is Greenwich Village, any band on the side of the road has such a level, although these guys are not famous at the moment, but the level is good enough, and they have their own style, which combines punk, new wave and white funk and other rock styles, and has been improved to incorporate elements of African percussion.

In time, if you have the right opportunity to perform in a well-known performance bar like WHA or CBGB, you will definitely be spotted by scouts from big companies, right?

So, after a piece of music was over, Shen Long stood there applauding him, and took out a dollar bill and put it in the piano case in front of the band.

Um, what's the situation? Several band members were a little dazed. Isn't he the same as those people yesterday, coming here to drive us away? Why is it applauding and giving money now?

"It's a good piece, I can tell that you guys are trying to integrate African percussion music into funk music. It's a very interesting attempt." Shen Long commented, Wang Qiming only understands classical music, not much rock music, but Xie Bin does. , so Shen Long told the origin of their song as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to listen to this! I thought you were a classical musician." The guitarist of the band scratched his head. After the rise of rock music, rock bands and classical music circles have cooperated. The music band performed on the same stage, but more often they were hostile to each other.

The classical music world despises rock music, thinking it is not music at all; the rock world laughs at the music of classical musicians for being too old-fashioned and meaningless; well, this hostility has even continued into later generations.

"Hmm, what I'm mainly engaged in now is indeed classical music, but this does not prevent me from enjoying other types of music." Shen Long has no prejudice in this regard.

Appreciation is appreciation, what should be said is still to be said, he pointed to the surroundings, then pointed to the street in front of him and said, "Don't you think you have chosen the wrong place for the performance? Most of the people living here are practitioners of classical music , the front is the site of rock music, and you will have more audiences if you go there to perform, and most people here will only find it noisy."

"It's because they don't know how to appreciate it! If you think it's noisy, you can take off your instrument and perform here too. We definitely don't think you're noisy." Speaking of this, the guitarist became angry again.

"Okay!" Shen Long shrugged, since that's the case, let's show you what it means to be a hooligan in an instrument.
