Hua Gun Band 1985 was born in Hollywood. It is the most controversial band in the history of American rock music after pistol. The band was formed by the merger of L.A.GUNS and AXL.ROSE Therefore, the perfect harmony between the two lead singers "GUNS" and "Roses" has always been the iconic feature of Hua Gun Band. Their songs mainly reflect teenagers' unreasonable anger and confusion, and express a sense of anxiety and sexual awakening. Since the band was founded, their musical opinions and the disloyalty of band members have been talked about by music critics and rock fans, because for these rock people, their lifestyle can be said to be the best interpretation of their musical connotation.
1989, "Guns and Roses" won the Best Artist Award in the First International Rock Awards. 1992 was called "the best hard rock band in the world" by authoritative Rolling Stone magazine. At this time, they have become a world-famous rock band, which can compete with any established rock forces. However, due to the intensification of the contradiction between the two soul figures in the band, the Hua Gun Band quickly disbanded, and the members of the band developed independently, but they all performed poorly and lost their old spirit. Although Hua Gun band regrouped in the wave of band reorganization in the late 1990s, the disappearance of their creativity disappointed the fans who expected them.
Hua Gun's most influential tracks are Don't Cry and Rain in November (the latter song won the Best American Social Pioneer Award for its excellent lyrics). Don't cry stayed on the billboard charts for nearly three years (147) weeks, creating a rock myth. In this song, Hua Gun changed their previous anger. Not only at the end of the song, but also at the beginning of the song, there are faint groans, and there are so many long [Ai] sounds in the whole song. Judging from my hearing, they should express heartbreaking heartache through prolonged [ai] sounds. In the mtv version, the girlfriends of the two lead singers left sadly because they had no treasure, and even died, MTV. It is worth noting that at the end of [Ai] song, the lead singer is AXL. Ross waved his hand at the light and dust coming from the top of the window, and a beautiful white dove flapped its wings and flew away. Perhaps this [AI] song still hides a kind of extravagant hope of re-leading!
2.DEF LEPPARD/ "Long Road"
DEF LEPPARD is a typical pop heavy metal band [music review], and its smooth melody and beautiful harmony are one of the characteristics of the band. The beautiful melody in DEF LEPPARD music gives fans a new understanding of heavy metal music. Under the guidance of DEF LEPPARD music, countless warm-blooded young people have stepped into the palace of heavy metal, and they have also become the objects sought after by some critics and heavy metal lovers. My point is that music has gradually deviated from its essence, and the dispute between genre and category is fierce. Rock looks down on pop, and pop treats punk as garbage, which is actually unnecessary. Music is only a combination of melody and rhythm for people to enjoy, so there should be only good music and bad music, and we should not stick to genre. Any band or singer has its own characteristics. How to distinguish them clearly? Some bands can't even blend into any genre, such as Cranbery, which is very individual. So I think, as long as a band's music is pleasing to the eye, then its music has absolute reason to be respected. To hell with genre, def leppard is def leppard style.
DEF LEPPARD was founded in the winter of 1977, formerly known as atomic mass. On July 1978 and 18, the band made their first performance in westerfield, a middle school in Sheffield. They were paid ￡ 5 out of the teacher's own pocket. 1978, DEF LEPPARD released the first album of the same name "DEF LEPPARD" in the company he founded. Due to financial reasons, only 1000 copies of this EP record were produced. Today, this record has become a long-awaited collection for rock fans. Then DEF LEPPARD began to succeed and successfully entered the United States, becoming the only band that could compete with Michael Jackson at that time.
However, a series of disasters befell the band. Guitarist died of alcoholism, drummer was fired for drinking, drummer Rick Allen had a traffic accident and his left arm was cut off from shoulder to shoulder. But Allen returned to the band with amazing perseverance and tenacious will, and practiced the electronic drum specially made for him with his own feet and hands, which became the soul of the band. Allen wrote the real rock spirit with this super perseverance and dedication to music.
In the 1960s, there were many bands that stood the test of history in Britain, among which Pink Floyd was undoubtedly the greatest. In a sense, its contribution to the development of rock and roll is greater than that of the Beatles, who are regarded as the originator of rock and roll. Pink Floyd's pioneering and innovative in many aspects in the field of rock and roll has cast a dazzling and immortal brilliance for him. 1965, syd barrett, a talented boy aged 2/kloc-0, and three other musicians formed the Pink Floyd Band [the name of the band was taken from the names of two blues singers he respected, Pink Anderson and Freud Council]. He is good at writing, singing and playing the guitar. The band's experimental spirit in playing musical instruments, as well as syd barrett's sharp writing style and relaxed and elegant form of creativity, soon made him enjoy a higher position in the British rock circle. 1In the second half of 967, the talented syd barrett left the band forever because of mental breakdown and drug abuse, and died of diabetes soon after. Pink Floyd, who lost his soul, seems to be saved only by miracle. However, at this time, the bassist and lead singer Royer Waters, the talented and superior new helmsman of Pink Floyd and the newly appointed guitarist Dave Gilmour formed the creative front after Pink Floyd's regeneration. Pink Floyd's phoenix nirvana reborn, creating greater achievements than before. The band continued the new idea of "concept album" brought by the new album "Dark Side of the Moon" with experimental rock style. It stayed on the billboard charts for an incredible 74 1 week. Since its birth, it has been one of the most popular rock albums in the world.
However, my favorite song "I wish you were here" is not from this album, but from another album "I wish you were here", dedicated to syd barrett, a former guitarist who left the band for a long time. In my auditory experience, Pink Floyd's album and Lou Reed &; John ·CALE's Song of Delilah (dedicated to andy warhol, a master of pop art) is a collection of two saddest songs in the world. With the sincere origin of a brother, count the memory traces left by the deceased in the brain. There is no praise or sadness, but there is a real humanity inside, which really makes your eyes moist. Songs with light melody may bring people sensory enjoyment, but music that can penetrate deep into people's bone marrow and soul is often the voice of those who grieve their hearts. May everyone cherish what they have now and don't regret it when they lose it!
4.NIRVANA/'s "Smells Like Youth Spirit"
Few singers in the world can be worshipped as "God of Rock and Roll" by many fans like kurt cobain after his death.
In 1990s, American unemployment crisis resurfaced, punk music broke out again in the music industry, and the garbage music storm in Seattle caused a strong response and sensation. Nirvana, founded by kurt cobain, can be called the leader of junk music. 199 1 In September, the album "Nevermind" was released, and the sales volume reached 500,000 only five weeks after its launch. 1992 65438+ 10 month, 1 1 became the number one record in the United States, and the global sales exceeded10 million. It has achieved great success in business. (Nevermind) made Nirvana successful, created the myth that non-mainstream bands became the mainstream, and at the same time started a spiritual tragedy. The song "The Taste of Juvenile Spirit" recommended here is the masterpiece of Nirvana's album "Nevermind". The twisted guitar and hoarse voice in the music completely reveal kurt cobain's inner madness, anger, depression, distortion, morbid and fierce conflict, and also reflect Kurt's tender, emotional, fragile and fearful side. At the unplugged concert of MTV, Kurt Cobain was more like a quiet and shy little girl, and her discomfort with the outside world should have set the stage for the tragedy.
1On April 5th, 994, kurt cobain ended his life with a shotgun in a traditional festival in China-in memory of the deceased's home. The cause of suicide is just like his last helpless sigh in Where Did You Sleep Last Night. No one can really understand it. Maybe god shouldn't stay in the world! Kurt cobain practiced his musical ideal with actions and was reborn from the ashes, but left countless fans with endless nostalgia and heartache! ! !
5. Goo goo is dull/Iris
1985, lead singer and guitarist John Rzeznik and his cousin Robby Takac, who played heavy metal music, found former drummer George Tu Tu and formed a three-person rock group Goo Goo Dolls in Buffalo, new york, USA. During the release of the first five albums, the band won some praise and popularity, but it did not establish its own musical personality, so it did not stand out from many alternative rock bands.
However, God seems to have a special preference for them. Fortunately, the film city of angels invited them to write songs for their own soundtrack, and John Rzeznik's Iris (Greek, Rainbow) not only won them three awards nominations, such as14/9991Grammy Music Award for Best Record of the Year and Pop Group's Song of the Year. Rob Cavallo, the producer of Alice, pushed the musical reputation and sales figures of Goo Goo Doll to the peak and won the best production award of the year. Goo goo doll has just begun to establish its position in the music world, and also found its own pop rock 〔style〕.
Iris is a once-in-a-decade good music in pop rock music. The music begins with a crisp and fast guitar solo, and John Reznik's deep voice is full of doubts about the world and love. The song suddenly exploded in the middle, as if it had become a sincere oath. "Even if everything is ruined, I just want you to know who I am!" The beauty of the melody is in sharp contrast with the roughness of the lead singer's voice, and because of this, this music has broken away from the category of sweet and greasy love songs and become a super classic that you can never get tired of listening to. Because of this beautiful music, all the original CDs of city of angels are out of stock, and even its punch CDs are sold to record-breaking 30 yuan.
The widespread popularity of this song is more in line with my point of view. Veterans who have played heavy metal rock for many years have interpreted immature works with pure melody and perfect soundtrack, which is the best in European and American music and the sound of nature! ! !
6.POLICE/'s "Don't is so close to me"
Police/Rabbit
Police band is a British rock band, which combines reggae and pop rock most successfully. Founded in 1977, Stewart Copeland, the former drummer of Curved Air, and Sting, the bassist/singer of No Exit Jazz Band of Newcastle, formed a short-term four-person band with guitarists Andy Summers and Henry padovani. Soon after, Henry padovani left the band and formed a trio.
1978 At the beginning of the year, "Police" signed a contract with A&M Company, and published a single "roxanne" in April, which showed their innovative weird rock and roll with reggie rhythm for the first time. It wasn't until 1 year later that this song entered the top 40 in American charts, which made Police soar in British charts.
The lead singer and songwriter Sting is the soul of the police band (he got the name Sting because he likes to wear a yellow striped shirt and looks like a bee). Sting is talented and handsome, and is very popular with female fans. He once had a part-time teaching experience in university, and the bold teasing of female students often made it difficult for him to step down in class. He specially composed a song "Don't stand so close to me". The lyrics are humorous, the tunes are very casual and smooth, the perfect chorus, strong sense of rhythm, and the extensive use of high nasal sounds have seamlessly integrated the free and personalized music characteristics of reggae music from Jamaica coast into rock music, creating a unique rock music style.
After the whirlwind success of 1980- 198 1, they won the British Music Award "Best British Group" and three Grammy Awards. Then all the members of the band started their own plans. After that, the band sadly officially disintegrated. Although Sting has achieved greater personal success, including many Grammy Awards and becoming a top singer in European and American music circles, it always makes me feel sorry for losing the musical personality and soul of Police.
7. Cranberry Band/Joe
Ireland is the holy land of music, where countless excellent singers and bands have been born, such as U2, Enya and Sinead Oconnor, and countless girls have been obsessed with Boyzone and Westlife. However, my favorite is cranberry band.
Cranberrys is one of the greatest alternative rock bands in Irish history. It was founded in May 1990 as Cranberrys Sawus. For personal development, the former lead singer left the band, and she recommended the current lead singer Dolores to the band. The other members of the band were skeptical about Dolores, so they told her to interview nearly 100 singers before trying, and still could not choose the lead singer. Dolores walked into the band rehearsal room with a harpsichord. At first, the band members were worried that dolores would make a fool of himself. However, when she picked up the harpsichord and played music, they were all shocked. When she auditioned a song composed by herself, she had a unique throat and unparalleled singing skills. Soon after, she became the real soul of the band with her musical talent and creative talent. The band's debut album, Everyone is doing it, why can't we? Very successful. When the second album "No Argument" was released, Cadbury was already a world-class band. And because of the lead singer Dolores, many people began to imitate her original throat technique (like Faye Wong and many famous foreign female singers). It is worth mentioning that all the songs of cranberry band revolve around a theme-calling for peace. They mourn the children who died in the war and feel sorry for the people who lost their homes. They stick to their own musical style and never go with the flow.
The recommended music "Joe" comes from the band's third album; When the music started, the melodious mandolin flowed slowly, like a clear spring flowing into my heart, followed by dolores's unique but sweet voice. The unique harmony effect after the dual-channel recording technology is like the dialogue of the soul. The whole song is clear, clean and impeccable, and it is my favorite work.
8. Queen Bohemian Rhapsody
Few bands can completely reflect the richness of the world rock stage in the 1970 s like QUEEN. QUEEN is like a variety hall, which perfectly combines gorgeous rock, progressive rock, classical music and heavy metals in one furnace. This four-person band from Britain, evolved from the psychedelic hard rock band SMILE, is committed to exploring the artistic style of gorgeous exaggeration (with homosexual tendencies) and creating a rock form with strong opera color. Freddie Mercury, the lead singer, has a sexy voice as a choir. Their signature is their perfect falsetto chorus, layered keyboard and gorgeous guitar solo.
Opera Night is the most classic album of the Queen. The band spent a lot of energy on the production of this album, which is said to be the most expensive album in the history of rock music. Among them, Bohemian Rhapsody, the famous single I recommended today, has become QUEEN's signature track, and a large section of heavy metal guitar improvisation and solo has been added to the gorgeous soundtrack that resembles an opera choir, which is exactly QUEEN's typical style. This single quickly rose to the number one position in the UK charts, and stayed there for nine weeks, finally breaking the record of the longest stay of the British singles chart champion. In the United States, this song and the whole album have also achieved great success, entering the top charts 10, and becoming a platinum single and platinum album at the same time. Even more than ten years later, 1992, this bohemian rhapsody came second in the American singles charts for several weeks.
It is worth mentioning that, because the lead singer Freddie Mercury is totally gay, during 199 1 year, rumors about Freddie Mercury's physical condition were flying all over the sky. 165438+1October 22nd, he finally confirmed to the outside world that he was infected with AIDS. Two days later, Freddie died. After Freddie died, the band members were silent for a while, and the three members met again at 1994 to record Freddie's wishes. Freddie recorded the lead singer of these songs in his hospital bed. 1995, this album "A Match Made in Heaven" was released. Because of its special commemorative significance, this album has caused a buying frenzy all over the world, especially in Europe. There is no doubt that this is QUEEN's last studio work. Although Freddie Mercury is gay, it does not prevent him from being respected by countless rock fans all over the world because of his great innovation and contribution to gorgeous rock.
9. At My Most Beautiful Time
Many alternative bands, including NIRVANA, claim that their music inspiration comes from the establishment of R. e. m. R. e. m in 1980. They were founded in Athens, Georgia, USA. The name of the band is the abbreviation of "rapid eye movement period", which refers to a physiological phenomenon during dreaming. Based on new wave music, this band redefines the definition of "alternative" in American rock music. In a sense, they are the fathers of alternative rock.
As a truly underground band, they traveled around the mainland of the United States in a caravan at the early stage of their formation, spreading their musical ideals and spirit to villages, schools and pubs. Many hot-blooded young people fell madly in love with rock music only under the influence of rock music, and the best of them even played the guitar and became famous bands and singers. Describing R.E.M's works as underground music may attract many brothers who like the black and heavy style of underground music to refute, because R.E.M's sales have been very good, and the music sounds more like light music such as folk rock at first, which is incompatible with underground bands with generally noisy music styles. But in any case, R.E.M represents the highest level of underground music. They can read the profound rock connotation from the seemingly soothing melody, but they have reached an extreme, heavy guitar noise is lazy, violent drums are elegant, and the lead singer's hoarse voice has reached the peak, as deep as exquisite silk. The extremes meet, and the extreme of underground music must be so soothing and gentle. Moreover, their musical attitude has always been dark and low-key, and they always understand some profound philosophy of life from a very human perspective, unlike the simple or even stupid hedonism of pop music. The popularity of R.E.M comes more from guitar solo accompaniment, soothing and moving melody, especially the passionate and psychedelic voice of lead singer Steph with diamond voice.
In any case, R.E.M is an immortal music hero in the history of rock and roll, and many of their music has become indelible classics.
10.U2/ "If God will send his angel"
Undoubtedly, the greatest band in Britain and Ireland in the 1980s was U2, which was called the decade of U2 by Rolling Stone magazine. This shows the great influence of U2. The Edge's signature guitar sound and Bono's passionate singing make U2 one of the most popular rock bands. This real underground band created the commercial myth of underground music.
U2 wrote and recorded some great touching songs. U2 has been committed to anti-war and freedom since the 1980s. Perhaps this spirit is the greatness of U2. The album War is U2' s sincere and emotional response to the Irish religious and political storm. Including heartfelt hymns like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day". "War" established U2' s leading position in the field of music that expresses political conscience, and also cleared the name for rock music that was mistakenly regarded as grumpy, venting and dirty by the world. U2 produced the theme song "If God Will Send His Angels" for the movie "city of angels" starring Nicolas Cage and meg ryan. There are no flashy guitars, no quick drums, and everything is quiet. Bono, the lead singer, sang in the lowest voice, and a kind of extremely painful grief flowed lightly, but it was easy to break the listener's heart. This song can be said to be the most emotional love song performed by U2 and one of the most classic love songs in the 20th century.
1 1. Smash the pumpkin/Mellon Shepherd and Infinite Sorrow
Six-string bass is earth-shattering, and it will make you cry. Although it is exaggerated to describe it as smashing pumpkins, it is really my experience after listening to their music for several years. Crushing pumpkins is undoubtedly a very important alternative rock orchestra in the 1990s, that is, in the era when Grunge music, represented by Nirvana, swept through the music scene, crushing pumpkins rose suddenly, and they created a music style that combined radical rock, gothic rock and heavy metal, and laid their own alternative rock world!
Thanks to the helpless brothers for providing music reviews, Crushing Pumpkin [is really a great band and one of my favorite The Darkness. This is a dark epic tomb of black music, created by poor narcissist BILLY CORGAN, who is the chief guitarist/singer/songwriter. And it is a towering tombstone in front of this grave. Especially the piano solo with the same theme at the beginning of the CD, Wang Neng, a classical instrument, performed such original rock music, which is really amazing. Billy Cogan seems to be using his superhuman musical talent to explain the true meaning of rock and roll in a different way. When I first owned this album, I always enjoyed this solo for N times in a row, making the keys beat quietly in my heart. The low-key and sad piano sound has a strong smell of death, but it can let my soul penetrate the secular fog barrier and get a moment's relief.
12. Soul Shelter/Out of Control Train
You may love a lot of music and be moved by many bands and singers, but only one band is integrated with your soul. One of mine is a soul shelter. When I first heard their music, I suddenly had a wonderful feeling of deja vu, and I couldn't help humming along. I hum at will, but it is in harmony with the music sheltered by the soul, and pedestrians on the road look at it with strange eyes.
The recommended song "Out of Control Train" is a masterpiece of soul shelter. This is the first work describing the problem of missing children. Accompanied by the crisp and clean guitar sound and the quiet drums, the lead singer Pilner's vicissitudes and hoarse voice sang the deepest sorrow and accusation from the depths of his throat or from the bottom of his heart. Extreme grief and anger are usually not tears or anger, but almost peaceful and weak statements, which are easier to penetrate into the listener's heart. My heart rises and falls with the slightly sad music, and I seem to see the helpless and absent eyes of the mother who lost her child.
13.mr.big/"To is with you"
The fire of GRUNGE[ Garage Rock] lit by Sound Garden[Sound Garden] burned the whole 1990s in the history of rock and roll, and countless bands emerged in this period followed suit and competed for distorted guitar noise. There are two bands in the United States who are obsessed with heavy metal music and have successfully broken through. They not only performed and developed heavy metal music well, but also created magical record sales. The band has even become a Grammy Award, now! The super darling of the record company. One of them is the famous band Bonjovi, and the other is the band MR.BIG mentioned by helpless people.
I noticed that the helpless person had posted the detailed information of Mr. Da, so I won't go into the history of the band's establishment and development, but focus on my personal feelings about Mr. Da's band music. Mr. Da is a typical heavy metal band, with crisp and sharp guitar plucking, vigorous and thrilling drum rhythm, looming and appropriate bass, especially the hoarse and magnetic voice of lead singer Eric Martin, which is full of male charm without losing affection. As soon as the music comes out, the listener's heart is surging and his blood is boiling, and every cell in his body will burst with the violent impact of the music. While adhering to the heavy metal music style, the band also established its own musical personality. They have injected strong and affectionate blues music style into the background of heavy metal music, and Mr. Da has always paid attention to the beauty and audibility of music melody. Their strong and affectionate musical characteristics have won them numerous hugs from all over the world.
The song "With You" recommended today is undoubtedly the band's best tender model work. The whole work is permeated with a relaxed atmosphere of enjoying music creation. Music begins with the subtle laughter of the band members, followed by the drums that control the rhythm. The lead singer's magnetic songs just blend in. The song is full of deep affection from his heart and introduces his inner pain into the listener's heart. At this time, the chorus of other band members introduced the deep affection of music to the extreme, and the vocals of the lead singer complemented each other with the background chorus, which also made this music the most prominent feature. Especially worth mentioning is Eric Martin's singing. His elegant and affectionate interpretation style is not available to other heavy metal singers. Guitar plucking in the background of music is also rare, which adds a lot of color to the whole music without usurping the role of host. Thanks to the extraordinary guitarist Paul Gilbert, Mr. Da has a classic guitar solo in every song, which also makes Mr. Da's unique musical personality.
14. Metal Band/Unforgettable Man
Among many ace bands of heavy metal, who can best represent the musical style and spiritual core of heavy metal music? They are not recognized as the originator of heavy metals, [led zeppelin]. After all, they are still in the insurmountable primary stage of heavy metal development. Nor is it a gun&; ROSE, their music is more inclined to the hard rock style with strong blues. It seems that they spend far more energy on infighting and private life than music creation. Not to mention van halen (Fan Hailun), who started the electric guitar craze, but Eddie Van halen (Eddie Fan Hailun), the lead guitarist who controls the band's power, is brilliant but narrow-minded and headstrong, which makes it difficult for the band to achieve great success. Imagine how a band that changes its lead singer every time it spends an album continues to develop and maintain its musical personality. The real answer should be METALLICA, at least I think so.
Unforgettable Man, their gentle works, just show James Hetfield's voice of carrot and stick. A series of guitar strings, which sound simple but contain great difficulties, gradually started a prelude in the sound of a siren, and then the bass interpreted the main line of music. The lead singer's rich and vicissitudes voice fully shows the rough characteristics of his voice at the beginning of music, and his singing is "heavy" and "noisy". However, with a turn, the lead singer began to perform the lower part of the music in a soft voice that was rarely shown.
never
Never seen
Can't see what might happen.
my feelings/how I feel
All I know
Never shines in the works I show.
Never be free
It was never me.
So I think you are unforgivable.
At this happy moment, the vicissitudes and sadness contained in softness can make people cry. METALLICA is worthy of the honor of the top band of heavy metal music, and this "Unforgettable" is also a model of tenderness of this series of rock veterans recommended by me.
15. Scorpion/"Send me an angel"
Industrial noise band, but strangely, Scorpion [,a melodious heavy metal band, stands at the top of the world rock music scene. SCORPIONS, founded in the late 1960s, has been well-known in the music world for its stunning double guitar performance and clear and high-pitched lead singer. Over the past 30 years, it has persistently adhered to and continuously developed the popular heavy metal music style. Even at the lowest ebb of heavy metals, it is precisely because scorpions never give in to the pressure of the record market, do not follow the crowd to flatter the audience, and settle down to cast their favorite music style that countless classic music has been created.
