Chapter 457 456. Everyone stand up: This is my rock! Rock will never die! (Subscribe)
At the scene, more than 20,000 spectators stood up!
This scene was broadcast to the whole world, and none of the viewers were surprised by it.
They are used to it.
In almost every previous performance by Wang Qian, the audience would stand up and cheer.
This is one of the reasons why ordinary tickets are so expensive but people still rush to buy them.
But……
More than 20,000 people stood in the audience, but they all remained silent.
No waving.
No stomping...
No chorus...
They just stood up and stared quietly at Wang Qian, who was almost one with the guitar on the stage.
There was a hint of fanaticism in everyone's eyes.
This was the first time that all the audience who had watched all of Wang Qian's performances had seen such a scene, so they were all very surprised.
Many die-hard rock fans, as well as many former or current members of bands, stared at Wang Qian on the stage with pilgrims' eyes, listening carefully to the music played by Wang Qian and the guitar, and watching every detail of Wang Qian's finger movements.
On the judges' panel, Cui Wenfeng stood up and clenched his fists, concentrating all his strength on his fists with excitement. He stared at Wang Qian intently, wishing he could rush up and pick up the bass and play it himself.
However, Cui Wenfeng knew that he would never be able to play a bass solo of this level. No guitarist in China could do it! Or, even if all the bands in the world were combined, it would be difficult to find a guitarist who could do it...
During the heyday of rock music several decades ago, one or two historic guitarists achieved this level of guitar solo, which etched their names and performances into the history of world rock music, forever to be listened to and watched by future generations.
But since the gradual decline of rock music in the last thirty years, we have never seen live guitar solos of this level again.
Or rather...
The rock genre of the past thirty years has been infinitely close to pop music. The lead singer's vocals have gradually occupied the majority of the band's voice, and the musicians have become increasingly marginalized and started to serve the lead singer's vocals.
Adam, who was standing in the contestant's booth, was also a little excited. He was about to speak, but just as he opened his mouth, he said, "I..."
Miyuki Nakamori next to him interrupted without any hesitation: "Shut up!..."
Even Elizabeth immediately said, "Shut up..."
Adam immediately shut up and looked around in shock. This was the first time other contestants spoke to him like this. However, when he saw Miyuki Nakamori, Elizabeth, and the others all looking at Wang Qian intently and listening to the solo, he suppressed his thoughts and stared at Wang Qian, not wanting to pay any attention to him at all!
Adam put away his thoughts and listened to the performance attentively again. He felt that the gap between him and Wang Qian was immeasurable. He would never be able to catch up with him in this lifetime, let alone catch up with him...
In the middle area, Ru Ke's pretty face flushed with excitement. She is a super rock fan, and the second most popular rock artist in China after Wang Qian. She was most impressed by Wang Qian's performance. It was as if she had returned to a dream decades ago and watched the live solo of the guitar god...
Sophie, who had just finished her performance and had not left, stood backstage and watched Wang Qian's performance with a look of admiration. Although she did not play rock music, her appreciation ability was world-class, and she could naturally see that Wang Qian was almost going to become a god in the field of rock guitar!
This is something that no one has done in recent decades.
Jennifer murmured softly, "It's so handsome..."
Jennifer heard the cheers from the production crew.
"The ratings have directly exceeded 4 billion. God, God, we did it. We did it. 4 billion people around the world watched it!"
"It's a miracle... There are less than eight billion people in the world. Can you imagine that more than half of them are watching our show?"
"Now when I think about the last farewell performance left, my heart aches. When can we continue to work with Wang Qian?"
"I really want to keep working with him. Even if he wants more bonuses, it doesn't matter. We will definitely make more."
"This performance will completely establish his position as the God of Rock and Roll, and no one will be able to shake his position from now on."
…
In the history of rock, there are titles such as the guitar god, the drum god, the best keyboard player, the best lead singer, etc.
However, there has never been a single person who can be called the God of Rock! Because no one person can represent rock alone.
And Wang Qian is now ascending to this throne and establishing his position in one fell swoop.
He has a gorgeous and varied singing voice, super creative talent, can play drums, keyboards, and has a historic guitar solo...
At this moment, he is not only singing the lyrics, but also contributing such a god-level live solo!
If this isn’t God, then what is it? Many viewers watching in front of the TV couldn’t help but stand up at this moment. Many guitar lovers and rock fans quickly took out their basses or guitars and tried to talk like Wang Qian on the TV.
However, once you try it, you can feel the difficulty...
Everyone has a higher admiration for Wang Qian.
Wang Qian seemed to be completely oblivious to everything around him on the stage. He was completely focused on the guitar strings in his hands, with that extremely familiar melody filling his mind.
In another world in Wang Qian's memory, the song Stairway to Heaven is a masterpiece in the field of rock and roll. It is also a bible in the eyes of many rock fans. It has been ranked among the top ten rock masterpieces by the world's authoritative music magazines many times. Among them, this guitar solo is listed as one of the top three live guitar solos in history. It is one of the must-learn pieces for all guitarists later on!
Wang Qian perfectly interpreted the essence of it at this moment.
Even Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, Juliet, Zhao Wei, He Fulin and others beside Wang Qian were looking at the figure in front of them with admiration.
The long guitar solo lasted for more than two minutes without anyone interrupting or being impatient. The audience of more than 20,000 people stood there in an orderly manner, as if they were good students listening to a lecture in class. They would not sit down unless the teacher told them to.
At this time, Wang Qian was playing and singing again into the microphone. His singing was so crazy that everyone was surprised. It was completely different from his previous folk song-like singing style.
It turned into a cry of venting.
"Ooh And as we wind on down the road."
"Our shadows are taller than our soul."
Everyone in the audience seemed to be awakened by the singing, and woke up from the mood of the super god-level guitar solo. Looking at Wang Qian who was singing crazily and continuing to play the guitar at a superb level, everyone's heart was filled with admiration.
This is simply an overflow of talent and strength. It is a dimensionality reduction attack on other people. They are completely in different dimensions. Even Sophie's perfect performance last time seemed very ordinary in front of Wang Qian!
Even if someone is prejudiced against Wang Qian, they will not feel any resistance when watching Wang Qian's performance.
And Wang Qian’s cry continued.
"There walks a lady we all know."
"Who shines white light and wants to show."
"How everything still turns to gold."
"And if you listen very hard."
While screaming and shouting, his hands never stopped on the guitar strings, but became more and more crazy, coordinating with several other musicians to perform an even more manic rhythm, making everyone at the scene a little restless.
"The tune will come to you at last."
"When all are one and one is all yeah."
"To be a rock and not to roll..."
No one expected that the song would be further sublimated here, making everyone feel like they were struck by a hammer in their hearts! Wang Qian stopped singing again, holding his guitar and turned around to interact with Jiang Yu, Murong Yue, and Juliet.
Murong Yue was shaking her head wildly, with her signature twin ponytails swinging madly, stealing the show.
Jiang Yu and Juliet seemed much quieter, and their pretty faces began to blush with excitement.
All the industry insiders in the audience were extremely jealous and happy at the same time.
They know...
Several people on the stage today will be remembered by history.
Even if we ignore the halo of The Voice of China World Championship stage, this rock performance itself is enough to be recorded in the history of rock music.
All of them present at the scene also became witnesses of history.
Anyone who later re-took the video of this god-level live performance would be able to see the appearance of many big-name audience members in the front row. They all got a little bit of credit.
At this moment, Wang Qian's hands suddenly left the guitar strings, and the other three also stopped playing their instruments at the same time.
music……
Come to an abrupt stop.
It was as if the door of heaven had suddenly closed and the communication with God had ended.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment.
Wang Qian slowly returned to the microphone and sang the most core sentence of the song into it slowly and deeply.
"And she's buying a stairway to heaven."
(She wanted to buy a stairway to heaven...) Everyone at the scene was still thinking about this sentence. Everyone had their own understanding and felt that this song was full of connotations and philosophical thoughts...
Wang Qian put down his guitar without blushing or panting, demonstrating his strong breath talent and control ability, even surpassing two queen-level singers in Europe and the United States who are famous for their breath and voice.
Because Wang Qian not only sang, but also played a historic guitar solo. The combination of these two increased the difficulty exponentially.
Standing in front of the microphone, Wang Qian calmly looked at everyone present and met more than 20,000 pairs of eyes. He had no stage fright or pressure, as if God was looking at his believers. He whispered, "Thank you, stairway to heaven! This is my rock!"
In one sentence!
The whole place was packed with people.
A super rock fan took the lead and shouted, "Rock!"
Then, most of the other rock fans followed suit and shouted together.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"rock!"
"rock!"
"Rock..."
The entire audience, more than 20,000 people, raised their hands and shouted rhythmically.
"rock!"
"rock..."
"rock..."
…
Outside the venue, tens of thousands of spectators were also watching the live broadcast in various ways, especially on the large screen outside where they could clearly see the scene, instantly causing tens of thousands of waiting fans outside to cheer together.
"rock..."
"rock..."
"rock..."
Nearly 100,000 people inside and outside the stadium cheered loudly, and the sound could be heard dozens of kilometers away.
The staff on duty outside were extremely nervous and ready to take action at any time.
Fortunately, there was no stampede or riot among the tens of thousands of people outside the venue. Everyone just raised their arms and shouted together. The cold wind did not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all. Everyone shouted with red faces and thick necks as they expressed their passion.
"rock..."
"rock..."
…
Among the billions of viewers around the world, many loyal rock fans were also cheering wildly in front of their TVs.
This moment.
Rock's cry spreads across the world.
On social media platforms in various countries, a unified message was flooding the screen.
"rock&roll can never die!"
All rock music fans around the world spontaneously forwarded the message.
Passersby A, B and C were also influenced by this trend, so they joined in spontaneously.
For a time, this news topped the trending topics on all social platforms in almost all countries with internet access.
The ratings also increased slightly further, with the number of viewers worldwide reaching 4.1 billion!
almost……
In all areas covered by television signals, most people are watching this program.
Wang Qian stood on the stage, looking at the more than 20,000 audience members who were waving their fists and cheering "rock!". Among them were Hollywood stars like Miyuki Nakamori, Adam, Elizabeth, Kristen, Ally, Glenn Garber, and Ryder, as well as literary young people like Xiao Dongmei.
Everyone's face was flushed with excitement!
Wang Qian looked at everyone, stretched out his right hand, and made the metal band salute gesture commonly used in another world.
The index finger and the little finger are straight, the two middle fingers are naturally bent, and the thumb is pressed on the two middle fingers...
This gesture...
It appeared in front of billions of people around the world in an instant.
All the audience, whether at the scene or in front of the TV, had never seen this kind of gesture, but when they saw Wang Qian doing it on the stage, they naturally followed suit.
This would be very cool and would also be a sign of respect and admiration for Wang Qian.
then!
Tens of thousands of audience members at the performance and outside the venue stretched out their hands and made the same gesture as Wang Qian, waving to the rhythm while continuing to shout: "Rock!"
"rock..."
"rock..."
Rock on!
It was the dream of many people.
How many people went to a rock concert and immediately bought a guitar or drum set? How many people started growing their hair long and became non-mainstream after watching a rock concert? How many people ignited their musical dreams after watching a rock concert?
Rock and roll can be said to be the ultimate dream in every musician's heart.
because……
Rock is music that uses the simplest way to vent and describe one's inner thoughts.
Many people think that rock music is difficult and complicated, with guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and so on.
In fact, the core of rock music is the simplest musical melody, but it can have many changes and integrate many styles. This is also the reason why rock music continues to progress and adapt to the times.
Some band members who appear on variety shows in China can’t even speak the most basic music knowledge. The scene is very embarrassing, but they can still play rock and roll and attract some fans, which makes many professional musicians speechless...
The band composed of Wang Qian at this time was the most talented, educated and profound band in the entire history of world rock.
Jiang Yu, a piano doctorate graduate from the Central Conservatory of Music, has already been recognized by many world-class musicians for his ability and level. He is only one world performance away from becoming a world-class piano master. By then, he may become the second best piano player in China, second only to Wang Qian.
Murong Yue is a top student at Berkeley.
Juliet, also graduated from one of the world's top music schools, was born into a prominent family, and is a well-known genius in the European and American music circles!
Wang Qian holds professorships at several music colleges, including Curtis, one of the world's top music and arts schools. His status is one of the highest in both popular and classical music.
When everyone saw this lineup, they immediately felt it was much more pleasing to the eye.
Whether it is appearance, temperament, or academic background, they are all unique in the history of rock music, leaving all other historical bands behind...
Even Zhao Wei and He Fulin, who were cheering nearby, felt at this moment that they were actually redundant and were dragging down the overall style of the band.
However, the two were still excited because no matter what, they appeared in Wang Qian's band and future generations would not ignore them.
The audience at the scene kept holding up Wang Qian's gestures and cheering. It had been going on for almost a minute and there was no sign of stopping.
Jennifer had no choice but to come up. She raised her hand and shouted "rock" loudly. She quickly came to Wang Qian's side and wanted to give him a hug without saying anything. She said loudly: "God, you are so handsome!"
Wang Qian let Jennifer hug him and touch him for a while, and continued to look at the audience.
Jennifer let go of Wang Qian and said to everyone, "Everybody, are you tired?"
No one answered Jennifer.
However, many people are indeed tired.
After raising their hands and cheering for a whole minute, many people who did not exercise often felt their arms sore and their voices hoarse. They stopped, calmed down, and looked at Wang Qian and others on the stage.
