Chapter 471 The Cry of the End

The next performance is also a rock work from Ning Sheng's new album. Different from the hard rock of Guns N' Roses before, the next few songs belong to heavy metal in rock, which is very explosive.And the songs are all works of Metallica, a legendary heavy metal rock band from another time and space.

The first is "The Unforgiven" as a classic song by the thrash metal band "Metallica".Its heavy drums and confessional lyrics are so emotional that most would call it an anti-war song.In fact, the meaning of the lyrics of this song is rather vague. It is understood that anti-war is only one aspect, but the confession is beyond doubt.

They dedicate their lives

To running all of his

He tries to please them all He tries to please them all

This bitter man he is

Throughout his life the same

He's battled constantly He's fighting constantly.

In the roaring music, Ning Cheng hugged the guitar, opened his mouth wide, and roared vigorously. Those roars were like sharp swords piercing Cangxiong, questioning the sky!
And the fans in the audience followed Ning Cheng with Ru Lin's arms and sang in unison!

Then there is "Enter Sandman", which is also one of the most classic songs of the Metallica band. Its beautiful and profound solo has been rated as one of the best solos by many people and won the Grammy Award for Best Heavy Metal Song.And one of Ning Sheng's Grammy nominations this time is because of this song!

The dreamlike melody and dialogue in the song perfectly played a classic rock song!During the war between the United States and Iraq, the U.S. military used the loudspeaker on the Humvee to play this heavy metal song along the streets of Iraq to stimulate Saddam's army and use heavy metal music to attack the spirit of Iraqi soldiers and civilians.

Listen to these lyrics:

Say your prayers, little one
say your prayers, boy
Don't forget, my son,

don't forget my child

To include everyone
pray for everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
wrapped tightly in the blanket, in the warm blanket
Keep you free from sin
save you from sin
Till the sandman he eats
until the sandman invaded
Such lyrics, paired with heavy metal roaring music, are definitely the favorite of rock people, and at the same time, they are also the most annoying and disgusting noises for some people!
And from the beginning, the song is like an army waking up from hell, stepping on heavy steps, rushing to the world with a loud bang, they destroy everything they see, they are invincible in the world, and People hiding at home can only tremble!
Standing on the ever-rising stage, Ning Cheng played the guitar while roaring continuously, like an angry lion king, roaring at the enemies who broke into his territory!
This song is like a song specially used for fighting. The roaring heavy metal stimulates everyone's blood, roaring and shouting!

The song "Nothing Else Matters" comes from Metallica's black cover album "Metallica" released in 1991.The melody of the song is soft and beautiful, suitable for listening to alone in the dead of night.Of course, don't be in a bad mood, or it will be too melancholy.

The background of the creation of this song is: metallica's extremely talented bassist Cliff Burton has extraordinary skills and is the core figure of the band. In 1986, he died in a car accident. Nothing Else Matters was written to commemorate him, adding tenderness and sadness to this very manly band.

Beautiful prelude, singing, harmony, clean interludes, the solo played by James, and the mutual cooperation of various instruments in the whole song. I don’t know who likes rock and roll. If you like rock and roll, you have to listen to nothing else matters by METALLICA (doesn't matter what).

I have to talk about this band. Listening to METALLICA's songs, you will find that their lead guitar is very powerful. Almost every large guitar solo in each song is very difficult and extremely listenable, so Ning Sheng is taking out the songs. Finally, Zhang Feng, the lead guitarist of the band, is the hardest. He needs to constantly hone his skills, and constantly familiarize himself with and practice these difficult fingerings and songs.

But now it seems that Zhang Feng didn't waste time in nearly half a year, and he didn't disappoint Ning Cheng. Now Zhang Feng on the stage, even though his sweat has already wet his vest and even his outer shirt. , but the melody of the lead guitar has always been so stable and moving!

And with the help of such a great lead guitar, Ning Sheng's performance can be even more exciting and hot!

After several hot heavy metal songs in a row, Ning Sheng used a classic song "Fade to Black" which is also a metal band as a soothing work.Although this song is not as explosive as the previous ones, it is a classic of METALLICA's classics, and it is also a controversial work of METALLICA. The lyrics are very rare and delicate in metal rock.

"Fade To Black" is about death, but it's about suicide, and it's been called a hymn of despair.The entire lyrics is a suicide note, it is not difficult to see that this is a young man.

It is said that in another time and space, a boy in his teens hummed this song while committing murder. As a result, the band did not perform this song very often.However, the song is absolutely good. The poignant melody in the first half and the guitar reflecting the moment of suicide at the back complement each other perfectly. The lyrics of this song are rare and delicate in metal rock. From this, you can know why Metallica is always called Said to have "cultural temperament".

Another reason why the work has been questioned is that some teenagers who committed suicide left a will requesting that the song "Fade To Black" by Metallica, a song about some people's attempted suicide, be played at funerals. Song, and some teenagers copied the lyrics of this song in their suicide notes.

In the band at the time, Lars couldn't do anything about it: "It's a sad thing, but what can we do? In the years since the song came out, we've had thousands of letters from kids saying this song How the song gave them the courage to live.” To make matters worse, they were involved in a shooting in DEXAS Christie, which was played up on local TV: A teenager was killed after taking LSD or something. , Go crazy and kill people.According to witnesses, he was quoting the Metallica song "No Remorse" as he shot people.He was sentenced to death, and during his sentence in court, he actually quoted the lyrics of the song again.

Through these materials, people can clearly understand how powerful this simple song is!

Of course, the good news for Ning Sheng is that in this life, from the release of his album to the present, there is no news of anyone committing suicide because of this song. played a positive role.

In the North American branch of Huijie Records, in the past half a year, thousands of letters from teenagers all over North America have been received. Let them have more courage to face the setbacks in life!
This made Ning Sheng less worried when performing.After all, it's too bad that such a melodious, well-meaning song should end up being bad for some other reason.At least those unfortunate things didn't happen here!

Therefore, when the melody of this song sounded in the night sky of Los Angeles, the fans gave enthusiastic applause and cheers!

The acoustic guitar at the beginning was played by Ning Sheng himself. This beautiful melody sounded in a beautiful and slightly sad atmosphere.Throughout the prelude, Ning Sheng, as the rhythm guitar, has been accompanied by lead guitarist Zhang Feng.

This mournful prelude is a metaphor for the social and spiritual environment of a suicidal patient.Everything is so sad, so hopeless, and people are in a deep painful situation. The lyrics that follow are absolutely pessimistic, full of world-weary and suicidal thoughts.

Life it seems, will fade away
Life seems to be dying
Drifting further every day
I'm floating around every day
Getting lost within myself
Lost oneself
Nothing matters no one else
Nothing matters, nothing matters

I have lost the will to live
I lost the will to live—
At the end of this section, a strong distorted rhythm of the electric guitar sounded, fully reflecting the frenzy and restlessness intertwined in the heart of the suicide, as if the distorted soul was about to break out of the shell of the walking dead!The rhythm here is a variation of the rhythm phrase in the intro.

No matter after this crazy electric guitar, there is a guitar sound that cleans the soul. It is as warm as a rainbow appearing in the sky. It makes people see the dawn from the darkness. It is like hope after experiencing despair. Gained a firmer yearning and longing!
Things are not what they used to be
things are not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
lost inner self

Deathly lost, this can't be real
Lost in death doesn't seem real anymore

Cannot stand this hell I feel
Can't stand this hellish world anymore
-
Then the singing sounded again, and the suicide had lost himself, and he was suffering more and more mentally, unable to extricate himself.The sufferings of the past were vivid in his mind, and deeply hurt every nerve of him.He couldn't face all this at all! In the frenzy of dire straits, the patient finally "woke up" completely - "No one but me can save myself, Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye (except I have no Man can save me but it's too late. Death is sending me a warm greeting and I just want to say: Farewell)".

The song seems to be completely negative at this point, but we should be able to see from the lyrics that here is a way of contrast, telling everyone to save yourself before it is too late!To all those who feel hopeless, it is not the end, you can still save yourself!Before you decide to die yourself, when others are at a loss, you can still save yourself!

During Ning Cheng's last long roar, the audience vigorously waved their arms, followed the rhythm and violently shook their bodies, as if wanting to save themselves, jumping and shouting!

While performing on the stage, Ning Sheng started his solo amidst the violent rhythmic guitar sound, which was the total eruption of all these spiritual disasters.The fast and intense solo, the heart-piercing rhythm, brings all the memories of the patient's past, pouring down like a rainstorm!It seems to be urging everyone to save me quickly!
The cheers and screams of the fans echoed in the Los Angeles stadium like the roaring waves of a tsunami!

There are six songs in a row, the first one is a classic.

It is often sung on the stage, and eventually it becomes a chorus of the whole audience.

Then, when the third guest tonight appeared on the stage, the audience screamed countless times. They are the Chinese girl group NLZ who just finished their global promotion!

Although their album this time is a Chinese album, with their global tour three years ago, fans around the world are no strangers to these three Chinese girls.Although the sales volume of this Chinese album in North America is not good, it is not bad. Now, the global sales of NLZ’s Chinese album have approached the 1000 million mark within two months.With such a result, not to mention being the undisputed champion in sales in Asia, even in Europe and the United States, it is also a best-selling album with explosive sales!
Although more than [-]% of the album's sales are in Asia, fans who like Ning Sheng probably don't know that he has a sister named Ning Tong, and they also know the NLZ group Ning Tong is in.

Therefore, Ning Tong's three girls are very popular at the concert, even to a certain extent, they are more popular than their previous brothers. After all, the global tour of Ning Tong's three girls is not fake, whether it is popularity or Popularity has already established a foundation in Europe and America!

So, the three girls of NLZ sang and danced three songs, one old song in English, and one or two songs from the new Chinese album, and then bowed together and left the stage, changing the stage to Ning Sheng who came on stage again!
Ning Sheng returned to the position of the lead singer, and said, "Next, let's have one last high!"

There were thunderous cheers at the scene.

When the prelude to "18 and life" sounded, there was a huge cheer at the scene.

"18 and life" is the second single from the album of the same name by American pop metal band Skid Row from another time and space.At the same time, this song is also the band's most famous hit single, the highest position in the Billboard Hot 100 is No. 11, but it only ranks No. 18 on the mainstream rock chart. "1 and life" was selected by VH[-] as one of the [-] best hard rock songs of all time.

Of course, this song is not a song from Ning Sheng's new album, but a song from Ning Sheng's previous album released in North America. For Ning Sheng's fans, this is an old song!
But for fans, especially for live concerts, new songs are not necessarily more popular than old brothers, because old songs are more familiar to most fans, and it is easier to attract more people to participate!

Therefore, it is more normal to cause a big chorus. In addition to this old brother, Ning Sheng also sang two old songs, one is another masterpiece "Psychosocial" by Slipknot. In the past, I played with many friends in China and released the single, and later the single was spread abroad, and it was very popular!
The other song is "Hotel California" by another time-space eagle band. In this life, it is also a single released by Ning Sheng in the early years.

After the song, the stage gradually darkened. Ning Sheng and the band members bowed to thank everyone, then stood on the lifting platform and waved goodbye to everyone!The concert is over here!

Singing for two hours will be very tiring, especially tiring. However, listening to songs for two hours is supposed to be quite tiring, but tonight there are many surprises, and they are all super favorite songs. It's been two hours, but I don't feel tired at all.So many people shouted Ning Sheng's name again. These two Chinese characters were already as proficient in these foreigners' mouths as their native English, "Ning Sheng--Ning Sheng--Ning Sheng--"

Therefore, Ning Sheng, who had been prepared for a long time, took the stage again, and responded to everyone's love and enthusiasm with an old song "What are you waiting for" which is a positive and passionate rock song!This classic work from Nickelback from another time and space is also a song released by Ning Sheng earlier!

The original song of more than three minutes turned into a performance of more than five minutes under the chorus of the whole audience. However, the performance was about to end. When Ning Sheng bid farewell and left the stage again,
When the big stage went dark again, many people realized that the concert was really coming to an end, and everyone looked very helpless—even though everyone knew that this was the case for all concerts.

The lights in the arena started to come on, and someone began to ask everyone to leave the venue in an orderly manner through the radio, not to be crowded, etc. However, everyone seemed to be stuck in Jay’s wonderful performance at the concert. It took a long time for some fans to remember , This is Ning Sheng's farewell tour, they will never see such a wonderful performance again, and suddenly someone burst into tears!
