Although German rock did not dominate the mainstream of European rock like Britpop, many German bands have left an indelible mark on the European rock scene.
Experimental pickled vegetables are synonymous with German rock and roll.
This is a name given to them by the British.
Specifically referring to the avant-garde rock bands that emerged from the land of Germany in the 1970s, distinct from the British and American styles. They favored psychedelic fantasies and would often improvise for a very long time. In particular, they incorporated revolutionary electronic music experiments into rock music, creating a dark electronic atmosphere that was detached from the mundane world and yearned for outer space.
The band Liang Liang chose is called Nargaroth, which sounds like "Pumpkin Shredded Pork" in Chinese.
The band's style is heavy metal, raw, primal, and provocative.
Their singing style is rather dark; the members wear ghost masks and have random symbols drawn on their bodies. They like to shake their hair wildly like they're on ecstasy to intense rhythms.
If you add some smoke on stage and dim the lights, it'll look like a bunch of demons dancing wildly.
Many of their songs seem to have virtually no lyrics; the lead singer just makes noises like he has a toothache.
It's somewhat similar to throat singing in China.
Europeans seem to have a special fondness for throat singing, and more than a decade later, many bands from Inner Mongolia in China became very popular in Europe.
For example, Nine Treasures and Hanggai are two bands that have a large number of fans in Europe, but are virtually unknown in China.
If Hanggai hadn't appeared on several variety shows in China, which gave them some recognition, very few people in China would have known about them.
The Nine Treasures Band is practically invisible in the country.
The Pumpkin Shredded Meat Band's singing style is somewhat similar to throat singing.
They became incredibly popular starting in 2000, and their fame spread almost throughout the Western world.
Liang Liang actually disliked the rock style of the country, thinking it was all that howling and wailing.
But before coming to Europe, he still improvised two songs about pumpkin and shredded pork at home.
Disliking it is one thing, performing in a foreign country is another.
One song was something like "Either You Die or You Become a Demon," and I couldn't even remember the name of the other one.
These two songs are from the album that Pumpkin Shredded Pork was released around 2006.
He couldn't recall the specific release date or the album title.
He didn't remember the melodies of these two pieces very clearly, and there were definitely some discrepancies.
But Liang Liang didn't care anymore. He was wrong, and the foreigners wouldn't understand anyway.
"Hannah! Go tell your people to step aside and let them see the power from the East."
Hannah ran over and started yelling at the foreigner, and the foreigners who were occupying the space moved aside.
Liang Liang and the Blue Shark band members arrived at the center of the venue.
After more than ten minutes of equipment connection and tuning, the music started with Xu Mei's electronic music and then entered a powerful and majestic melody with dense drum beats and a domineering guitar.
Blue Shark is the most mature band. Although not all of its musicians are top-notch, when they come together, they are top-notch.
Today's drummer is Zhao Muyang. He plays the drums like a windmill, clean, accurate and steady.
Xiao Yu formally became Zhao Muyang's apprentice, and Liang Liang felt that the two of them were quite a good match.
The intense, rain-like intro had the foreigners in the audience unable to stand still; some were already swaying their bodies and clapping along.
After the intro ended, Liang Liang spoke in a low, hoarse voice into the microphone, making random "ee-ee-ah-ah" sounds, or saying things that he himself didn't understand.
Because there are no words at all.
Although the lyrics are misleading, the melody is indeed authentic frenetic metal.
The Germans in the club were stunned by Liang Liang's two powerful and rhythmic roars, and they joined in the commotion.
They had to admit that this Chinese band played truly frenetic death metal, the only regret being that they couldn't understand what they were singing.
They didn't understand, and neither did Hannah and Mia; they both looked puzzled.
The electronic music added to the piece thrilled the German musicians.
The idea of incorporating electronic music into rock music is nothing new to Chinese people; they've been doing it for twenty years.
Therefore, Xu Mei and Lin Hanrui, who were controlling the turntable on stage, won their favor.
Several musicians whistled and made provocative gestures at Xu Mei.
I used to not believe Liang Liang when she said that almost all of these foreigners had body odor, but now it seems to be true; there's a foxy smell in the air.
These foreigners, reeking of foxy scents, whistled at her, earning her utter contempt from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Hanrui simply ignored these foreigners.
As a woman, she keenly observed that most foreigners, regardless of gender, had long faces, either long like a shoehorn or a pig's kidney.
Liang Liang once described foreigners in this way, and now it seems that it really is true.
With this foundation in mind, you'll find everything foreigners find unpleasant.
She had a question in her mind: were those Chinese women who married foreigners blind?
To Liang Liang's surprise, there was actually a band called Pumpkin Shredded Pork in this venue.
Yes, this is the German band he used to copy the songs.
Liang Liang was simply reposting their work from ten years later, something they were completely unaware of now.
When this band is introduced on the internet in later generations, many say that they were formed in 1989, but this is actually incorrect.
This band was formed in 1993, so it has only been three years since then.
Liang Liang's chaotic dance on stage struck the band members like a thunderbolt, leaving them beating their chests in despair.
During this period, Pumpkin Shredded Meat was still a relatively unknown band, and they were feeling lost, unable to find a direction for the band's development or what they should do.
Today, they came here out of sheer boredom, intending to continue their confusion, but now a glimmer of hope has appeared in their confusion.
After hearing the work of this Chinese band, the lead singer of Pumpkin Shredded Pork had a flash of inspiration, believing that they had found their way forward.
This is the kind of music and style he wanted.
Liang Liang had no idea that his ramblings had actually given someone directions. If he were to explain it clearly, people would laugh their heads off.
After finishing the song, Liang Liang said, "Friends from all over the world, could this be considered rock and roll?"
Hannah provided the translation.
The Germans in the club were still swaying; some nodded, some smiled, but others remained silent.
"This is something we used to play, it's not very interesting. Now you can hand over the place to us, right?"
Liang Liang also played a Versailles game.
The Chinese people stepped aside, but did not leave.
They can watch from the audience.
The music played by the Chinese band just now actually suited their tastes. Although they didn't say it, they acknowledged in their hearts that the Chinese band played rock.
