Chapter 309 A superb three-stage arrangement (please subscribe, please vote monthly)

In China, there are not only tools for identifying pitch, but also tools for identifying true and false singing.

However, these UP hosts who watch lip syncs live mainly focus on gaining traffic. Anyway, it is impossible for the Rolling Stones to lip-sync, and it is impossible to lip-sync even if they smash the piano and break the sound.

As the ending progressed, Feimos, who experienced the song for the second time, suddenly realized a problem. The arrangement of this song was very different from traditional rock music.

Rock relies on riffs, and often the riffs at the beginning and end of a song should be the same. However, the arrangement of the Rolling Stones song is divided into three sections, which means that each section can be used as a piece. A song, such an arrangement is rare not only in world-wide rock, but also in world-wide thrash rock. Such multiple chapters are a reflection of superb composition ability and arrangement skills, and are also proof of quality!

This song goes from being quiet at the beginning, to getting excited as the metal sounds get louder, and then to being completely wild at the end. The lyrics, emotions, and music all come together perfectly!
One of the similar creations of Original Earth that can be used as a reference is Led Zeppelin's song "Stairway to Heaven".

Therefore, the shock of this song was unimaginable in the 90s!When Tang Dynasty went to the island country to perform, the organizers were amazed. They couldn't imagine that such a thing could exist in the backward and backward mainland rock music at that time!
It's not just Feimos who realizes this problem, Bob and other members of the Hatter band also think the same way.

There are also these domestic musicians. The three people who Bai Ma Zilong did not comment on were a little unable to sit still. Bai Dao immediately closed the video and typed in the group while listening: "No, the arrangement of the last part is quite wrong. . It’s a little hard for me to imagine, how does Bian Lang arrange music that is both folk music and metal?”

Among the four, Bai Dao has relatively few musical practices. He listens to a lot of music, but compared with the other three big guys who often practice, there is still some gap.

At this time, Ma Yuan felt that he finally had a chance to show off: "I stopped, probably borrowing the melody of the suona, to see what Ziyang said."

At this time, on the stage, the performance of Bianlang and others reached an almost crazy state.Especially Bian Lang, what he is bringing in now is the performance scene from the Tang Dynasty band's MV.

The arrangement of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is just as Feimos imagined. Putting aside the introduction, the main part of the song is divided into three sections.

In this last section, what impressed Bian Lang the most was the section in the MV in which Brother Wu opens his clothes and steps on the strings of the return song with one foot.

What impressed him most was not the playing skills of Brother Wu, who was regarded as Asia's top guitarist, but the bunch of red tassels hanging on the strap of the electric guitar.

When Bian Lang first watched the MV, he didn't notice this detail at all. It was only after a netizen with a magnifying glass pointed it out in the barrage when he watched it again and again that he went to playback and pause to take a closer look.

Although the picture quality at that time was still very touching even after being restored with modern 4K high-definition technology, the bunch of red tassels flying in the wind as Wu Ge played, Bian Lang felt that it was not playing guitar, it was just a joke. Red tassel gun!

The various details in the MV can almost be said to be a perfect fusion of Chinese elements and rock music. Even looking at it now, it is extremely explosive.

On the stage at this time, Dili occupies the C position, just like the tip of the red tasseled spear protruding from the front. Although he does not have the flying long hair of the fifth brother, his extremely aggressive technique when playing is no less impressive. .

Bian Lang and Huang Kai, one with long hair and the other with a bald head, were swaying behind Li Li.

Huang Kai's shiny bald head is like the cold light shining on the head of the gun, and Bian Lang's long hair that keeps flying with the rhythm is like the red tassel swaying at the tail of the gun head.

The notes flowing out of the musical instrument were like the indomitable "gun breath" coming from the tip of a gun, piercing the hearts of everyone present.

Xie Xinyan, who is in seat C of the A2 auditorium, feels this the most deeply. He is the one closest to the tip of the gun at the moment. Feeling the sound wave coming towards him, he feels a little chill in his heart, but after being picked up and making noise, he becomes enthusiastic. But there is a kind of uncomfortable feeling supporting it.

Thinking of the scene where he performed at Wembley Stadium, tears welled up in his eyes.

At that time, he also held a concert here with the idea of ​​reviving the Chinese music scene, and the effect was naturally good. More than 10000 people attended and the venue was packed to capacity.

But at that time, 8% of the people in the audience were Chinese, which is completely incomparable with today, where foreigners account for at least [-]% of the scene.

Although today is Hatter's concert, the insanity of the audience's enjoyment proves that the Rolling Stones' music is recognized by them.

England, as the place where rock music flourishes, has relatively high musical aesthetic and audio-visual thresholds among music fans. Being recognized by these fans proves that the Rolling Stones' music has entered the core range of world rock music.

Moreover, it is a purely Chinese song. It has received such high recognition even though these fans cannot understand it and cannot deeply understand the meaning of the lyrics. This shows how profound Bian Lang's composition and arrangement skills are.

In a daze, the 7 minute and 05 second song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" finally came to an end at Wembley Stadium.People who woke up from the torrent of metal immediately gave the Rolling Stones applause and cheers.

Lewis, the leader of the three giants, looked at the stage in disbelief and clapped along mechanically, but he was thinking in his mind: "A band of this level will probably be at least as good as Hatter in the world in the future." Existence, why was there no movement at all before this?"

Lucas looked sideways at Adams and said, "Rock music like this is so rare. Have you signed the copyright for this song? If not, then I will take action first."

Hearing this, Adams, who was applauding, leaned his head over and whispered in Lucas's ear: "I don't know about this, it's the first time I've heard this song. But even if I don't win it now, it will be in the future It can only be represented by DGM. Who else in Europe knows the Rolling Stones and Wave better than us now? I believe that the Rolling Stones in the future will definitely be one of the important members who bring rock music back to the core of modern music. !”

These words could be said from Adams, who was almost a hands-off shopkeeper, and Lucas couldn't believe his ears.

But the boss behind the scenes has already said this, and he no longer has those small thoughts: "Then we at Crazy Scale are waiting to negotiate a contract with DGM, but I want to get to know the Rolling Stones in a personal capacity. Are you going to stop me?" Can’t do it?”

"Then you have to wait. When I have a private banquet with them, I will consider asking you to join me..."

Putting aside the accompaniment section, the high-intensity performance of more than 6 minutes is still very energy-consuming.The Rolling Stones in the stands were still a little dazed. Feimos transformed into the host and stepped forward to help interact, giving the Rolling Stones a little rest time to ensure the performance of the following performances.

But when he walked to Bian Lang, he heard Bian Lang leaning into his ear and saying: "Feimos, there is "The Angel" at the end of the performance. I want to put the English song I prepared before into the next performance. What do you think? How about it?"

When Feimos heard this, he paused for a moment and said, "Then you plan to replace it with Chinese songs?"

"Yes!" Bian Lang replied firmly.

"Well, I respect your opinion. It seems that you want to give our fans an unforgettable Chinese rock feast tonight. Tell me which song you plan to use instead?"

The Rolling Stones' original plan was to have two Chinese songs and one English song.Now that the foreigners in the audience are accepting it, and "The Angel" got close to them at the end, he plans to complete the performance with all Chinese songs during the normal performance period.

Regarding the scene of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", if Bian Lang had any regrets, it might be that there was no scene in the foreshadowing section at the beginning, and there was also a bunch of red tassels missing from the butt of the electric guitar...

Thinking of this, Bian Lang said the title of the song he was going to replace: ""Shameless"!"

Hearing that it was "Shameless", Feimos was a little excited: "Oh, I also like that hard rock song. If I can't help it for a while, I want to go on stage to sing harmony with you, Don’t think my Chinese is not up to standard. After returning from China, I specially practiced the pinyin of this song!"

"That would be great..."

Just when Feimos was guiding the fans to interact with the Rolling Stones, Liu Ziyang finally spoke up in the White Horse Purple Dragon group, but instead of typing, he directly sent several long speeches:
""Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is a [-]-beat metal song. I think it is the ceiling of Chinese metal. I believe some of you have no objections, right?"

"The range of this song must have dropped 21 degrees when I heard it. The mode of the song is also relatively complicated. The introduction part is in D natural minor, and after entering the A section, it changes to the same tonic major, that is, D natural major, and then enters After the B section, it switches back to D natural minor, and at the end, it is directly replaced to #d natural minor until the end of the song. The wide range of sounds and the frequent changes in modes are the unique characteristics of metal rock music. "

"In addition, an important theme, motive or section is repeated many times, and at the same time, guitar solos also appear on a large scale. This makes this metal rock-style work much longer than ordinary songs," The song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" is 7 minutes long, which is much longer than ordinary pop songs. It can be said that the length of heavy metal music depends entirely on the status of the musicians in the actual performance. In this way, it is inevitable It will lead to irregularity in the structure of the song. The song is an irregular multi-parallel music form. "

"I understand that the sound of camel bells was used as soon as the introduction of the song came out. The purpose was to create a scene of a camel team running in the desert and reflect the Western style. Then I used an effector to adjust the tone of the guitar to a heavier distorted tone. , to perform the main melody. A large number of rock guitar playing techniques such as string bending, vibrato, and string-clicking rocker were used, and the music immediately showed a strong wild flavor."

"At the same time, the strings played by the synthesizer serve as a musical foreshadowing and echo the guitar. The music is open, wild and slightly sad, reflecting a heroic mood of the desert. After entering the A section, although it is a modulation of the same tonic major , but the whole section has a strong flavor.

The electric guitar in section A mainly uses damper chords to play, and the drums mainly hit the hi-hat to promote the music.In addition, the first and second sentences of paragraph B are repetitive, and the four sentences of paragraph C are created with the same beginning and the end changed.From the beginning of the B section to the end of the song, the guitar, drums, bass, etc. are all played with great intensity..."

After Bai Dao listened to these paragraphs, he immediately typed back: "It seems that in terms of composition and arrangement, no matter how much I analyze, I can't surpass these few sentences of yours."

Seeing this text reply, Liu Ziyang was stunned for a moment, and then continued to reply in voice: "The vocal singing part is left to you! Bian Lang's voice is really the envy of the rest of us. I'm really looking forward to the studio version coming out now." When the time comes, what kind of surprise will Bianlang give us!"
