1753 Chapter 1753
The audience applauded thunderously, adding bricks and tiles to the creation history of glory to death.
However, the praise and applause of the glory to death, set off the decline and loneliness of the Oasis band. Of the five bands shortlisted for the best rock band this year, only David Matthews has followed the traditional rock style, and the other four candidates are all reformers who have broken the shackles. No matter who wins the award, history will be made, but unfortunately, the history maker is not Oasis.
When Paul announced the answer, a trace of disappointment passed through Noel's heart. After all, he was still a member of the waiting list, but he disappeared soon. Maybe he had predicted the arrival of this moment, so now he can be very happy. Face it calmly. Not so with Liam sitting next to him.
Liam's face was flushed, and then quickly turned pale. The sweat on his head made him look like a drowning person who had just been picked up from the sea. Only the slightly heaving chest showed signs of life. At this moment, Liam didn't even want to applaud politely, and couldn't hide his disappointment and pain, lying on the chair like a dead fish, motionless.
Liam can only tell himself: This is the beginning, and the outcome of the next one has not yet been announced, and they still have a chance. Only in this way can he keep the flame in his chest burning. Stay angry, stay jealous, stay passionate.
But unfortunately, Glory to Death did not give Oasis too many opportunities.
After the best rock band, the various awards in the rock department were announced one by one, and the award ceremony developed in the direction everyone expected: glory to death completely dominated the trend of the entire award!
Best Hard Rock Performance Award, Glory to Death Defeated a lot of competitors with the encore track "Sail" of the Rose Bowl night of the "Smashing Storm" world tour concert. The Smashed Pumpkins, Oasis, Stone Four other candidates, including the temple guide and Alice in prison, became witnesses.
Best Rock Song, with "Voyage" and "Young Volcanoes (Young. Volcanoes)" won two seats of glory to death, and Tracy Chapman, Oasis, Grunge, this time laughing The last one is the glorious "Voyage", which has received numerous praises, defeated the most powerful competitor "Young Volcano" and successfully reached the top.
Best Rock Album, Sheryl Crowe's self-titled album, David Matthews' "Crash," No Doubt's "Tragedy Kingdom," and Oasis' "Stay Here" were the finalists. The waiting list, but no matter whether it is the Oasis band that created history, Cher Crowe, who has been enthusiastically sought after by music critics, or the Doubtless band that has suffered so much, none of them can stop the "storm" from coming. — This award was assigned without any suspense to this album that swept the world and changed history.
Glory to Death In the rock and roll category, they were shortlisted for four awards and received five nominations, all of which won in the end! Completed the domination of the rock department as king!
Among the awards that did not make it to the Glory, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance went to Cher Crowe, Best Male Rock Vocal Performance went to Beck, and Best Metal Performance honored Violence Against the Machine Band, Best Rock Performance went to Eric Clapton, Bonnie Ritter, B. b. The performances jointly dedicated by celebrities such as King won.
In addition, Baker defeated Oasis for the Best Alternative Music Album not in the rock category with the participation of a rock artist. This also makes the Oasis Band get nothing among the current five nominations!
The rock department awarded a total of eight awards, and Glory to Death had the last laugh among the four awards he competed for, occupying half of the entire department, and was truly recognized by the top professionals represented by the Grammys. Created a new era of rock and roll that belongs to glory to death.
Glory to Death not only achieved a sweep, but also easily killed the Oasis Band in seconds!
In the rock department, Glory to Death and Oasis were shortlisted for four awards at the same time. Each award is a strong collision with no way out, which is also one of the biggest highlights of tonight's awards ceremony. Before almost every award is issued, people will start to get nervous amidst the dense drumming, wondering who will win Glory to Death and Oasis, but the result has never been a surprise.
Some will say that this is the Grammys—the Grammys held by the Americans, so Oasis has no advantage; Some people will say that the Grammy's certainly cannot represent everything, and the greatness of the Oasis band is unquestionable... But some people will say that this is the choice of history, and time will prove it all.
But no matter what opinions people hold, the fact is that everything has been settled, the Grammys chose to die with glory, and the affirmation of four consecutive awards, the Oasis band not only returned empty-handed, but also did not even have the strength to fight back. , let alone form a confrontation. The wildly different results don't disappoint.
The expected peak duel turned into a one-sided massacre in the end. In fact, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. To be precise, it is the same with the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown that the media keeps bragging about.
On the surface, it seems that the Oasis Band has the absolute strength to attack and even overthrow the glory to death, but in fact, they have never really had a chance, and the faint dawn is just an assumption created by the media-it has always been the same Even if they created achievements that neither the Beatles nor the Rolling Stones could achieve, all of this is just an illusion—an illusion created because of media hype and the confrontation between the troika.
In the face of glory to death, the Oasis Band has never been able to gain the upper hand from the beginning to the end. And the "brilliant achievements" achieved by the Oasis band are precisely the ironclad evidence that Glory to Death is absolutely powerful - because even if they have made a historic breakthrough, they are still completely blown by Glory to Death.
The same is true tonight. Everyone thought that the Grammys would be the decisive stage, but in fact, the quality of "Storm" and "Stay in the Moment" were not on the same level at all. It was predictable when the opinion was expressed.
The awards ceremony was doomed since Glory to Death accepted the Best Rock Band award from Paul. Glory to Death is not only one of the most commercially successful rock bands since the 1990s, but also one of the most influential rock bands since 1977. Grammy's recognition is only the last piece of the puzzle That's all - the process of history has been irresistible.
Now, the dream finally woke up.
In this duel, the Oasis Band lost in every aspect, every angle, and every detail. They lost completely, lost without excuses, lost steadily, and lost all confidence... ...even losing so much that he didn't even have the courage to fight again in the future.
Twenty years in the distant future, when people talk about Oasis, it's always about "definitely possible", and it's always about "(what story) morning glory", the two albums that put the band in the history books One place, many have benefited from the willingness of both albums to include Oasis when they vote for the greatest rock band of all time. But the album "Stay in the Moment" has been buried in the historical time. As Noel said, it has been left in the moment belonging to that era and will not be mentioned again.
In fact, although the album "Stay in the Moment" has achieved unsurpassable commercial results for Oasis, such outstanding commercial results are only an instant explosive force, which has also become a reminder for Oasis. The super high sales volume of the album is accompanied by the great disappointment of the music fans. The higher the castle in the air is built, the stronger the momentum when it collapses. When people realize that the quality of the album "Stay in the Moment" is far from meeting expectations , people's disappointment with Oasis is hard to contain.
After the raging enthusiasm of the battle of the century and the ultimate showdown was extinguished, only a wisp of smoke remained.
After that, Oasis' talent was all but exhausted, they never produced anything worthwhile and released two albums that flopped - from fans to critics - with no wiggle room fiasco. After that, the members of the Oasis band couldn't bear it anymore and left the band one after another. Only the Gallagher brothers persisted, but the disputes between them became more and more intense, consuming Oasis little by little. The last flair and light of the band.
After entering the 21st century, although the Oasis Band still insists on touring, releasing new albums, and looking for new players, they have gradually left the mainstream. The Oasis band, which once led Britpop to create brilliance in 1995 and 1996, and even led the future development of new metal rock, disappeared into the boundless night sky like a shooting star after shining for a moment.
The third series is, after all, a threshold.
Similarly, after twenty years, when people mentioned the most classic album of the 1990s, "Storm" was the first, followed by "Nevermind", because the latter awakened the dormant rock and roll, and the former brought the withered rock belief to life again. germination. The album "Storm" not only ranked first among the classic albums of the 1990s, but also ranked high among the century-old classic albums of many professional music magazines such as "Rolling Stone" and "Q Magazine". A seat for ten.
The practical significance of the album "Storm" is definitely not just a rock and roll work, but also a sign of the changes of the entire era, cultural precipitation, and social change. As early as when the album was painstakingly produced by Glory until death, the victory and defeat had actually come to an end. The noise and noise after that were nothing more than playfulness. The trajectory of history was not affected at all, and we continued to move forward with.
In the face of the menacing Oasis Band, Glory to the Death showed 100% of its strength and dedicated the album "Storm" that will be recorded in history. Oasis pushed back, all the way to the edge of a cliff, then let go, turned, and left. In the end, the precarious Oasis Band standing on the edge of the cliff destroyed itself-the Gallagher brothers' internal strife, the stagnation of the band's technology, and the exhaustion of creative inspiration-they fell into the bottomless abyss like this.
The rock section of the 39th Grammys is finalized!
