Respawn Entertainment: Days of Glory

Chapter 356: Qin Duo 1v3 (please subscribe, please vote)

A day later, the Stones and Hatter headed to Wales to prepare for the show.

During the live rehearsal, I met the opening band "Magnet" who had just come off the stage. The two men and two women in the team were both natives of Wales, and the lead singer was a friend of Feimos.

"Fimos, I'm so happy to have the opportunity to open for you in Wales and share the stage with the Rolling Stones."

Seeing that the lead singer was speaking absent-mindedly, Feimos went up and punched the opponent in the chest before continuing: "There will be more opportunities like this in the future. The Rolling Stones' management contract in Europe has been handed over to DGM. From now on, we will be on the same stage." There are plenty of opportunities.”

The lead singer of Magnet was not surprised. Instead, he pulled Feimos aside with a somewhat gloomy expression and said, "After performing this opening for you, our band will take a break for a while."

Now it was Feimos' turn to be surprised: "What's wrong, buddy, if it's for financial reasons, I think I can help."

The lead singer shook his head and said solemnly: "No, I'm going to be a father soon. I plan to try to be a qualified father..."

Hearing this, Feimos felt a little pity in his heart, but when his words came to his lips, he turned into: "I'm really happy for you. At this point, you are really a brave man. What about the other members of the band? ?”

"Everyone except Strauss wants to take a break, so if there is a suitable opportunity, I wonder if you can help her find a band?"

With that said, the lead singer lit a cigarette and handed it to Feimos, then nuzzled his lips at the band's blonde female guitarist.

Feimos took the cigarette and smoked it, and asked with some confusion: "Female guitarists should be very popular, don't you need my help?"

"She is like a fierce horse that is difficult to tame. She looks down on ordinary bands..."

"Oh, then I'm not a good cowboy. Let's go and I'll introduce you to the Rolling Stones..."

……

After Hatter came on stage to rehearse, the lead singer started talking to the Rolling Stones in the audience. The topic naturally couldn't be separated from the song "Fade To Black", especially the solo part. The lead singer praised without exaggeration: "Wave, I I really can’t imagine how you could write such a solo. You know, after we saw the video that Bob forwarded, Strauss spent a whole night picking up the score.”

Following the lead singer's line of sight, Bian Lang looked at the female guitarist with a hairstyle similar to Vegeta's after transformation. From a secular perspective, she looked like a bad girl at a glance.

But Bian Lang associates her appearance with a female guitarist from the original Earth, that is, Jennifer Barton, the female guitarist used by MJ. This female guitarist graduated from the GIT Guitar Academy on the original Earth, and GIT is now MI's past life.

Although MI is not as famous as Berkeley, MI is not inferior at all in terms of producing well-known guitarists. Paul Gilbert, the world's third-ranked fast-playing guitarist, graduated from GIT and is still teaching at MI.

Well, maybe not many people on Earth know him, but he is still a member of the band Mr Big, and "To Be With You" is their band's masterpiece.

If the name doesn't match the number, it doesn't matter. You should probably know it as soon as the verse "hold on little girl, show me what he's done to you..." is spoken.

The elegant and fairy-like strumming in this song was played by Paul Gilbert. The first time Bian Lang knew his name was from a guitar textbook!

Jennifer Patton was a student at the same time as Paul Gilbert, and later became MI's guitar teacher. When she was on the original Earth, this female guitarist even came to Midi to give lessons.

Pulling back his divergent thoughts, he asked very curiously: "So, do you think who played better between her and Bob in her solo in "Fade To Black"?"

This kind of question that would offend people at home, but Bian Lang didn't feel any pressure to ask it abroad. Not to mention whether the national conditions were different, the four words "rock musician" didn't seem to match them very well.

The lead singer thought for a moment, and then said very seriously: "If compared with Bob at that time, Strauss now is better. Of course, I know that she may not be able to compare with you, the original author! If there is a chance, , I believe she must really want to compete with you."

Bian Lang naturally had no objection to the piano duel, so he agreed: "We can invite her to join us when we rehearse later!"

"Oh, that's great. I believe she will like this arrangement very much." The lead singer said excitedly, and then ran over to talk to Strauss, who was alone.

Seeing Strauss turning his head and looking over, Bian Lang nodded to her, but the other party didn't seem to have any reaction.

"It seems that this female guitarist is not easy to deal with..." Bian Lang thought in his mind and didn't pay much attention.

When it was their turn to take the stage, the female guitarist came over and said, "Wave, why don't you have "Fade To Black" in your performance this time?"

He did not introduce himself, but directly "questioned" his tone, which once again verified Bian Lang's judgment of the female guitarist's character.

Bian Lang didn't hide anything and told the truth directly: "Because our studio version is still being recorded, we at Rolling Stone hope that after its premiere in Europe, fans who like this song can download it online."

Strauss obviously did not expect this explanation. For her, the video version is more convenient for picking up the score. However, due to many problems, the live version will not be the first choice for music fans to listen to the song.

"Okay, thank you for giving me this opportunity to compete with you, but I want to know who is better, you or your lead guitarist?"

"As far as this song is concerned, the two of us should be about the same. If it's purely about guitar playing skills, I might as well work hard!" Bian Lang is telling the truth. If it's just compared to these classic songs he brought from the earth, The current training cannot be compared with him. After all, he has practiced it many times on the original earth, and he himself can't tell clearly.

But if we just talk about pure skills, then Lili is definitely better than him. Just talking about the speed with which both hands played the strings, Bian Lang was immediately defeated.

"That's when I competed with him..."

Hearing this, Bian Lang shouted to Li Li who was tuning the strings: "Brother Li Li, you will play the piano later!"

Li Li raised his head, glanced at the exaggerated Strauss, and then said with a smile: "This is the first female guitarist who wants to play piano with me. I will show him my Li Li skills in a while! By the way! You probably haven’t played that lead vocal for a long time, let’s see if I’ve surpassed you now!”

After the normal singing repertoire was finished, Bob, who knew he was going to compete on the piano, also came up. He had been itching to compete with Di Li.

Seeing this scene, Bian Lang said directly: "How about you just start solo, which saves me having to accompany you!"

"No!" The three of them said in unison with great determination, which made Bian Lang immediately give up the idea of ​​being lazy.

Then he gestured to Huang Kai and Dayong, and then played the prelude of 24042454 on the Ovation maple electric piano that he had just acquired.

After leaving China, Bob himself practiced the solo of this song a lot, but he always felt that the effect of Feimos' piano was inferior to that of Bianlang, so when he listened to Bianlang play this section again, he felt that It was like dreaming back to the Rolling Stones Music Festival.

So when Bian Lang finished playing four bars, he naturally started to follow in. Of course, the other two were not behind, and they started to join in the playing almost at the same time.

Ordinary music fans would not be able to tell that there were three pianos playing at the same time, but the people present were all veterans, and the subtle differences in timbre, technique and speed could not escape the ears of these people.

After just listening to two bars, the lead singer of Magnet knew that there was still a gap between Strauss and those two people. As for Bob and Li, he could hear the different guitar sounds of the two, but if he could distinguish the good and bad , he really felt there was no difference.

As for Bian Lang, he was really shocked.

Although there is still a gap between Strauss and these two, in his opinion, the difference is that he has not seen him play it himself. If the female guitarist had seen him Bian Lang play it himself, it would probably be the same as these two. There is no distinction between positions.

By the time of acceleration in the 17th quarter, the gap between the three began to be clearly exposed. In Bian Lang's mind, Bob is in the middle, Dili and Strauss are at the beginning and end.

By the time the interlude came, the three of them were almost on the same frequency.

Seeing the three people in a circle fighting with each other, Huang Kai felt a little uncomfortable with Dayong Biaogenyin. He was thinking in his heart, when will he see this kind of scene of three bassists playing piano live.

When the ending came, the three of them began to play four measures each in a tacit understanding.

Starting from the high energy of measure 170, the three of them began to enter the high-energy mode of dancing with demons, and various techniques of tapping, bending, and vibrato appeared simultaneously.

When it came to the 202nd fret bend in bar 22, it happened to be Strauss's turn. This move made several musicians in the audience excited.

This kind of scene, which has a high probability of not appearing in normal performances, also makes Olaf, who is responsible for the entire sound engineering, obsessed with it: "If Bian Lang hadn't written this song, I would hardly have the opportunity to see this scene with my own eyes. "

He was one of the few people who had seen Bian Langtan's solo with his own eyes, so the lead singer of Magnet immediately asked: "Mr. Olaf, how do you think the three of them compare with Wave?"

Olaf did not answer his question directly, but looked at the stage and said: "I guess Wave's hands are itchy too. If he can play it later, you can make a direct comparison."

Sure enough, when the three of them finished the coda and wanted to wait for Bian Lang to make a judgment, Bian Lang shouted to Feimos in the audience: "Feimos, can you come and help us play the rhythm guitar?" I want to play with them..."

Feimos made an OK gesture, then trotted onto the stage. After specifically instructing the camera team to take close-ups of a few people, he started playing.

This time, none of the three people who were fighting the piano made a move first. They all let Bian Lang come first.

Then, none of them had any intention of competing, especially Strauss. She felt that if Bob and Li Li practiced for a few months, she should be able to catch up. As for the Bianlang in front of her, she felt that it would last at least half a year or more.

After 170 measures, she felt that what she was playing and what Bian Lang was playing were not the same piece of music.

Especially the extreme string bending on the 22nd fret, she felt that what she pushed was the level of students when they performed during their graduation report.

And Bian Lang's easy push was the teacher who taught her until she graduated!

When Bian Lang finished playing, he "questioned" the three of them with an "angry" look on his face: "Why don't you move?"

Bob took the lead in speaking out what the three of them felt: "I don't know when I want to see you take the initiative to play lead vocals on stage next time, so we don't want to ruin this rare opportunity to watch!"

As for tempering, now I just feel that Haikou, which I boasted in front of Bian Lang just now, is a bit of a slap in the face, let alone surpassing it. Even if they want to be evenly matched, he feels that there is still one Xie Xinyan missing between the two...
