It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see all the small mountains.
When the thirty-ninth Grammys ended, this was the best adjective for Glory to Death, not only because Glory to Death won eight gramophone trophies in one fell swoop, tying the record held by Michael Jackson that year, and tied for the current history The singer with the most awards in the last single Grammy; not only because the album "Storm" has become the third North American sales of more than 10 million works, and has created countless classics. The record that can be achieved; also because Glory to Death swept the rock department at the Grammys and dominated the overall awards, pushing the momentum of rock in the North American market to its peak.
The reason why the 1970s is called the golden age of rock is not because there is a band or a singer dominating the market, but because top rock musicians are everywhere, a hundred flowers bloom, and a hundred schools of thought contend. All these reached their peak in 1977, and the entire The market is full of rock - and there are still good works and classics.
Because of this, even the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Pink Floyd at their peak did not really achieve dominance over the entire market—whether in terms of sales or awards. The competition back then was unimaginable.
The reason why the 1990s are called the recovery era of rock and roll is not that the entire market has re-accepted rock and roll, but that driven by a small number of top rock musicians, rock and roll has regained its vigorous vitality. From Nirvana, Pearl Jam, to Glory to Death, Smashing Pumpkins, to Radiohead, Suede, and Oasis, all of which reached their peak in 1996. The century duel between Glory to Death and Oasis detonated the entire market .
The history created by Glory to Death at the 39th Grammy is a height that no rock legend can reach. No one can break the eight trophies in a single session even after 20 years, but This does not mean that Glory to Death has surpassed countless legends, it is just a ticket for Glory to Death to enter the Hall of Glory.
But one thing is certain is that Death to Glory opened up the rock scene in the predicament of the 1990s, and even changed the pattern of the entire market. Such a feat is comparable to Elvis Presley.
In the 90s music market dominated by pop, rhythm and blues, country, and hip-hop, rock and roll is already getting old, although the rock and roll that has lost its vitality still has a deep foundation, led by Guns and Roses, Bonnie Ritter, and U2. The influence of rock and roll is still not to be underestimated. The music literacy and album production level accumulated over the years are commendable, and diehard rock fans have never left. But in fact, traditional rock has been difficult to keep up with the ever-changing music development. Gradually, he was on the verge of being eliminated.
This is the inevitability of history, the emergence of new things is accompanied by the elimination of old things. The emergence of punk in 1977 was the result of the course of history; so was the emergence of grunge in 1992.
It's a pity that the maverick Nirvana band, the Alice in Prisoner who went its own way, and the low-key and focused Sound Garden all lack further appeal, especially the early death of Kurt Cobain, which made the Nirvana band with the strongest mass base lose The core bone was broken, and it disappeared directly like a bubble, which made it difficult for Pearl Jam to do it alone. Never been able to take grunge to whole new heights.
However, the appearance of grunge still made the entire North American market start to pick up. At such a critical moment, new metal rock came into being. This type of rock is more diverse, more popular, and younger. Under the combination of traditional rock technology and the characteristics of modern music, rock revitalized.
It is especially worth mentioning that Hugo, the lead singer of Glory to Death, is not only a lead singer of a band, but also a successful film actor. The advantage in popularity has made Glory to Death quickly accumulate a lot of attention, which also laid an irreplaceable foundation for new metal rock to change the market structure.
The reason why 1993 has been called the second heyday of rock and roll is because grunge rock, new metal rock and traditional rock forces competed for success in this year, and excellent works emerged one after another, and even gave birth to albums like "Almost Famous". , Let new metal rock officially enter the stage of history—just like punk entered the stage of history in 1977, so people call 1993 the second awakening of rock and roll, not 1992.
The great success of "Bathing in the Morning Light" shook the foundation of the entire North American music market with an unstoppable momentum, and its influence even began to radiate to the whole world, reawakening people's enthusiasm for rock and roll. Under such circumstances, 1996 came. The duel between "Storm" and "Stay in the Moment" pushed the recovery momentum of rock to the peak, and the duel between Glory to Death and Oasis almost touched the hearts of everyone in the younger generation. Nerves, truly implanting influence into the minds of the next generation.
It can be said that the 39th Grammy Awards Ceremony is an inevitable historical process, because it will also be the track of the next historical development. The eight-seat phonograph is the best footnote to history.
History always seems to have similarities. Presley-Elvis replaced rock into people's sight in 1954, and within more than two decades, this type of music swept the world; Glory to death in 1996 In 2009, rock and roll was pushed to the peak again, but this time the heyday of rock and roll will come soon.
Die Glorious not only became the top winner of the Grammy night, but also became the leader who led history to a different future. Twenty years later, or even half a century later, when people mention the glory of music in the 1990s, everyone will sigh that it was an era of glory to death, it was a colorful era, and it was a witness The age of miracles.
Everyone knows exactly what history Glory to Death has created. Grammy's eight phonograph trophies are just one of the superficial phenomena, and Grammy's grasp of the entire market context is the core part.
In fact, after the awards ceremony, Glory left Los Angeles the next day, and continued to participate in the world tour performance of "Storm", as if the noise and carnival last night were just a dream. People stayed behind, flew to the other side of the Atlantic, and started their own journey again.
But the North American continent has completely turned upside down.
According to the official data of CBS TV station, an average of 52.33 million viewers watched the awards ceremony that night, among which the audience ratings of the 18- to 49-year-old group reached 24.71 million. ! This data created a record high in Grammy history, surpassing Michael Jackson's sweeping performance in 1984-a total of 51.67 million viewers watched that record night. This is also the only two ceremonies with an average viewership of more than 50 million since the Grammy broadcast.
This is undoubtedly a victory for the entire market. Thanks to the topic effect generated by the Troika of the Battle of the Century, the 39th Grammy has already attracted a lot of attention during the nomination stage, and the news that Glory's attendance was confirmed at the last moment made it even more exciting. The enthusiasm of all the audience broke out completely.
On the night of the Grammys, the appearance of Michael Jackson and Ray Charles was undoubtedly the biggest surprise and became the focus of heated discussions in the media. However, the moment with the highest ratings at the award ceremony was created by Glory to Death. The moment when Hugo won the best production award of the year won the first place-it really exceeded everyone's expectations. This moment attracted 6,000 viewers. 1.81 million viewers tuned in. This is also the second time in the history of Grammy broadcast that the number of viewers has exceeded 60 million in an instant, which is simply shocking.
In addition, the moment when Glory to Death won the Best Album of the Year award to match Michael's history, and the moment Glory to Death won the first Best Rock Band award of the night, the audience ratings were among the top five.
The appeal of Glory to Death can be seen - they have reached the height of Michael Jackson, and have had an impact on the entire North American society and North American culture, especially the audience aged 18 to 49 is the main audience , affecting a whole generation.
The ratings were just a profile of last night's carnival, and the headlines on the front pages of newspapers and magazines the next day were even more lively. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 233 media outlets in the United States used headlines related to winning eight phonographs to death as their front page headlines. Even the "Washington Post" and "New York Post" The Times" is no exception.
Not to mention the thousands, tens of thousands of radio stations bombarded without distinction, and the album "Storm" once again became the focus of the topic-it had already exploded with infinite energy ’s sales actually climbed up again, and the overwhelming momentum is almost endless.
Glory to death is the only focus, the only focus, other people are completely reduced to foil, whether it is Maria or the Oasis band, no one cares about their loss and regret, because everyone can't wait to join Can't wait to be a part of this history amidst the carnival.
It can be said that Glory to Death has indeed reached the top of the North American music circle, and the strong momentum has made people see the glory of the Beatles again - this is the real reproduction of the Beatles, even if it is described in any language This feast can’t be overstated, and it also makes the tickets for the third stage of the “Storm” North American tour more popular. The ticket sales haven’t even started yet, and there are already overwhelming calls for additional performances.
From the award sweep of "Death Row Walking", to the box office sweep of "Independence Day", to the global sweep of "Storm"... Inadvertently, Hugo is ushering in his heyday, which is also an unprecedented situation , not even Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra or any of the top superstars in the golden age of Hollywood can have the powerful influence that Hugo has today.
"Every move can affect the interests of half of Hollywood", this sentence is absolutely not exaggerated when used to describe Hugo. It's no surprise that the Berlinale came out in full force not so long ago, but now that Hollywood is still chasing Hugo, trying to cash in on the Hugo cash cow, Hugo has wisely thrown himself into During the "Storm" tour, she broke away from the vortex of fame and fortune in Hollywood, but gained a moment of peace.
