Here's a paragraph for you:

Anatomy TGK (abbreviation of The Great Kat) TGK's original name was KATHERINE THOMAS (what a lady's name...), born in Swinton, England. , immigrated to the United States when he was 3 years old. She has been listening to Beethoven since she was born, and has determined to become a music revolutionary since she was a child. She began to learn classical piano at the age of 7, and began to play classical violin systematically at the age of 9. At the age of 15, she began to attend the advanced studies department of the famous Juilliard School of Music, Dance and Drama in New York. Studying and serving as the first violin of the JUILLIARD PRE-COLLEGE Orchestra during school. Later, he entered the violin major of the college and received a full scholarship. After graduation, he held a classical violin solo concert at Carnegie Hall, and won many international artistic achievement awards in the United States, South America, and Europe. People always talk about this: How could a classical lady with such a background fall into the devil? This also reflects the news value and sensational effect of TGK.

Anatomy of TGK: "Sudden Change"

I can't describe the shock I feel about this change, so I'll use a lame description: You said Yo-Yo Ma is still expressing his emotions today , tomorrow there will be a "Cello Grindcore" or other "I was wrong, I shouldn't have said bad words" stuff, how do you feel? This is the sense of consternation TGK has brought to the world. Perhaps due to TGK's paranoid love for classical music, she opposed 20th century modern classical music composers such as Cage (1912-1992) and Schoenberg (1874-1951) who based their expressions on traditional music composition. More radical elements were added to explore the limits of musical atonality and polytonality. Schoenberg published a new theory of the twelve-note series system. The emergence of atonal music brought expressionism to the music world in a new way. The traditional concept of tonality and the major and minor scale system are completely broken. Cage's random music, uncertain music, accidental events, graphic scores, etc. also destroyed the traditional concept of music and the concept of work. She felt that classical music had been ruined by what she called "mediocre people", so she began to listen to all forms of music. After being moved by the speed and explosive power of metal, she decided to pick up the guitar, incorporate the violin, and use classical music as a Armed with a speed metal approach, the violin solo is completed with a guitar. She created a new style: CLASSICAL/SHRED MUSIC - a high-speed, manic, and technical performance music. And changed his name to: THE GREAT KAT (the abbreviation of the great KAT - KATHERINE), which is full of self-worship.

Anatomy of TGK's "Narcissism"

If TGK is not narcissistic, who else is narcissistic? I have never seen such an arrogant and arrogant woman! ! Let’s start with the titles of her albums: 1986’s “Satan’s Words”, 1987’s “Worship Me or Die”, 1990’s “Accelerated Beethoven”, 2000’s “The Rape of Rossini” , 2002's "Wagner's War" - full of sin, pathology, feminism, pornographic violence, war fantasies, and "Greater American" sentiments. This series of extreme themes has caused major mainstream media to avoid it. Through her interview, you can deeply understand her arrogance! Because TGK was rated as the tenth fastest guitarist in the world, when the interviewer asked if she was dissatisfied with the ranking, she said arrogantly: The only names that can tie with me are Beethoven, Paganini, and Mozart. ! ! !

Anatomy of TGK: "Extreme"

TGK's music and photos are full of bloody violence and pornography, with a large number of SM torture instruments, leather sheaths, steel rings, and every photo They are all eternal expressions - mouth wide open, face ferocious, extremely exaggerated. In these images, she is obviously challenging traditional thinking. In "The Rape of Rossini", a large number of pictures are inseparable from feminism, and in "Wagner's War", a collection full of political significance, we can better understand Feel her anger and madness.

Anatomy of TGK's "Music"

As for TGK's musical attainments, others naturally have nothing to say. I believe everyone will understand after listening to her wild and high-speed violin and guitar performances. She was amazed. Regarding the creative process, she made it very clear in the interview: "First of all, I select suitable works from classical music, such as Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, Vivaldi to Paganini and other composers. Materials, editing, arranging, organizing them bit by bit, and preliminary rehearsals with classical instruments in the band. Then I started editing tracks in electronic sequencers and recording software. Each song will have more than 100 tracks. I recorded the other main instruments in one take with other musicians in the studio, and then mixed it all together to become my classic.

The comment said: It is worth mentioning that TGK’s playing speed in the work is extremely crazy. I am afraid that no metal band dares to say that its speed is faster than this. The overall feeling is that its work is like A symphony orchestra composed of hundreds of highly skilled lunatics accompanying an even crazier woman?

The last wordy sentence: This woman is so fierce!
