Most people already know that the word ROCK and ROLL was coined by Alan Freed, a radio host in the Cleveland area in the 1950s. However, he was later replaced by "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets. This is an extension of Bill Haley's 1952 "Rock-A-Beatin Boogie". There is this sentence in the lyrics: "Everybody come and shake, shake, shake, everybody come and roll, roll and roll." However, he cannot claim that he was the first to use the separate words "rock and roll." According to data, as early as the 1930s, some people used Rock & Roll, whether in song titles or lyrics. At that time, these two words represented having a good time, or it was related to sex.
In 1939, Buddy Jones recorded a song called "Rocking Rolling Mama", in which he yelled: "I love the way you Rock and Roll." In 1944, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, who had a great influence on Elvis Presley, recorded "Rock Me, Mama" with similar words in the lyrics.
In 1947, Wild Bill Moore recorded "We're Gonna Rock, We're Gonna Roll". By the 1950s, there were at least three rock and roll songs. In 1950, Lilson Jackson sang "Rocking and Rolling". In 1951, the Dominoes sang "Sixty Minutes Man", in which the lead singer sang "I Rock, em, I Roll eu, an night long" in a bass voice, in 1952. ,M. Waters has a song called "All MightLong" (printed like this, but it is suspected to be Night), which contains "Rock Me Baby, Roll Me, Wagon Wheel". It can be seen that the usage rate of these two words in the past was quite high.
However, the host Alan can say that he used the word "rock&roll" and made young people's music popular all over the world. In 1952, he changed the name of his KYW radio program, formerly known as Record Rendezvous, to the Moondog Rock & Roll House Party. He dared to do that because he saw many young people advertising his program. Record stores bought black R&B records, so Alan tried to play black songs on his show. He just wanted to see how people would react, but he didn't expect it to be unexpectedly popular.
About 1954-1956, Ramp; The first best-selling rock album in history was Sh-Boom (Life Could Be A Dream), first sung by The Chords and then re-sung by the Crew Cuts in 1954. Since the Chords were black, some in the United States had a transmitting power of more than 50,000 watts. Radio stations refused to play black R&B songs, so the white band Crew Cuts took advantage of the fact that their re-sung version of the same song won the top spot on the pop charts.
In 1955, Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock seemed to sound the alarm for rock music, and a revolution began! Elvis appeared in 1956.
Rock & Roll has influenced American pop music through the black rhythm and blues music R&B since 1920. The reforms it triggered include the following:
1. Guitar, this is in Blues The main instrument used in Country, it replaced the piano and became one of the main instruments in popular music. Especially the later electric guitar.
2. A small, electric band has replaced the orchestra composed of strings, winds, reeds and other parts.
3. In the past, big record companies controlled popular trends, A&R personnel, and publishing companies in Hollywood (West) or Broadway (East) manipulated singers. Independent record label and production companies have been established and are promising.
For music fans who only know metal and punk, perhaps the rock music from the 1960s to the early 1970s can no longer arouse their enthusiasm, and the spiritual essence of calling for love and peace also seems out of date. . However, especially for Chinese music fans who fundamentally lack knowledge and understanding of rock music, their alienation from classic rock music is just the result of time and blind obedience to fashion.
In a sense, in the 1960s, rock music had reached an extreme height in the West that was difficult for future generations to reach. The limit at this time did not refer to the music itself, but mainly reflected its cultural function and spirit. connotation; musically, it also laid the foundation and pointed out the direction for almost all rock music categories today. We have every reason to say this: from the development of rock music in the mid-to-late 1970s to the present, all people have done is just to pay tribute to their predecessors. They imitate, digest, supplement, improve, extend, reproduce, and even catch up with what they do; of course there are also betrayals and dissociations of small groups.
Those classic bands that have shone like stars in the universe have now basically perfected their own galaxy. That is to say, any band after the 1970s, whether they are doing the most avant-garde experimental music or doing The most kitsch pop rock band, if we assume that it is a certain point on the graph, then the origin of the coordinates must be a certain band from the 1960s. The name of this band is ringing in most cases - even if it was unknown before, after decades of being obscured by the dust, their firm and rust-free name will definitely stand out. And when these coordinate systems are intertwined and mixed together, any of today's weird and complex rock types can be traced back, and will be extremely accurate, such as The Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead's influence on the noisy psychedelic hall singer Haino Keiji , Black Sabbath and King Crimson freeze the grinding, slow death metal band Cathedral.
This is the meaning of ancestors, such as the Yanhuang Nuwa of China. Although we know clearly that they are just a few tribal leaders with hemp on their waists from the same era, they have been hidden in myths and illusions. They are non-human gods - people are willing to believe in them and worship them, because they give people the opportunity to survive and develop, and lead them to defeat their enemies - even if there are any gods, they cannot be greater.
If the above text expresses exaggeration on a nostalgic level, someone will definitely have a flash in front of someone's eyes: clay wood sculptures wearing grass in temples with peeling paint, or those dead leaders in some yellowed photos. The voices and smiles of the sages mean that they are worthy of respect and memory, and we will never forget them. Their value lies in the old achievements that have withered and been put into urns. That is really absurd.
We must call for the humanistic spirit of art. While contemporary culture is going to two extremes, it is equally far away from the call of humanity - it is a popular and vulgar fashion. They have transformed the sense of cultural responsibility into a The production line that takes in conscience and pulls out money is just plastic, iron and various compounds, and has no relationship with "people" - if the excretory function is not included; secondly, it is the extreme of self-destruction. , they are more like the inevitable by-products of the continuous evolution of society: some mutated cells or even tumors. Artistic expression has become a purely personal irrational outlet. They have no sense of cultural responsibility and are separated from the public. Their honesty is their crime, as in post-Nazi art, humanity is becoming a toy for their own amusement.
So, has the music of the Sixties languished today? Rather, today’s human nature is languishing, mutating, and petrifying. What we are calling for is the music of the 1960s rather than its timeless humanistic spirit. Moreover, especially today’s knowledge of Western rock music is still almost complete. For domestic music fans who are blank, this music should be fresh and effective (some self-righteous senior music fans are asked to touch their consciences, think about themselves five or ten years ago, and think about the true cultural quality and quality of most domestic teenagers. nutritional status).
The great ideas of the 1960s had their own complete independence. At the time, it did not require any extra words or deliberate creation, but when viewed 30 years later, it certainly made sense. Some people may ask: "Why should we assume that today's youth should, or are willing to live with the glory of the past era?" This seems a bit redundant, just as some people may ask: "Why should we let young people go? Learning from the hippie drug abuse and promiscuity? "It's just as unnecessary. We didn't ask anyone to take drugs - we responded to the inspiration, absorbed the cultural concepts that we had lost, and used the thinking model of the late 1990s to dialectically accommodate the sixties. It should be natural to pick up the spiritual essence of the decade and abandon its dross. This is as logical as the monkey who was the first to eat an orange would also throw away the orange peel.
In the 1960s, the boundary between serious culture and subculture (Hu culture) collapsed across the board, and the so-called high culture with a rigid mummy face was completely swept away by the public. This should be due to modern survival. The people’s essential cultural requirements have changed under the mode, historical situation and social structure. The Decadents started a mockery and prank on the Conservative Party. Adultery and debauchery became the most popular topics among teenagers. Cigarettes mixed with marijuana leaves were lit in the classroom, and tens of thousands of naked young people had their hair cut off. Wearing garlands, they paraded in the city center and in front of the government building. They established primitive clan self-sufficient communes, with clouds, flowers and a slogan painted on the walls: Make love, not war. Smiling, simple, foul-mouthed, loud, straightforward, populist, full of passion, and full of vitality - there is no pretense or distinction of an artist. He is the ordinary, approachable and easy-going of a pedestrian on the street. From the perspective of the cultural construction function , the subculture has unconsciously risen to a level that surpasses all cultures. For widows whose husbands died in the Vietnam War, young people who are tired and exhausted after losing their jobs, or poor people in the city who are busy making a living all day long, they will not put on a tuxedo and wear a tuxedo. Wearing long skirts to listen to Bach, they just need music that they can understand and be moved by.
Together with Pop Art, postmodern poetry and novels (black humor, free style and sharp political criticism), and Off-Broadway dramas, rock music appears as a culture, because it explains While the interpretation methods of rock music have unlimited possibilities, its music texts, performance methods, costumes, various behaviors, and of course the almost religious persuasion and affinity displayed by the music itself have created a great impact on the spiritual world and life attitude of an entire generation of young people. With immeasurable influence, many divine singers, such as John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, etc., have used their music to shape the ideal outlook on life of countless young people.
A general view of the ideas advocated by rock culture in the 1960s, although it featured bohemian lifestyle, drug abuse, extreme sexual openness, group living, growing hair, school strikes, anti-nuclear, anti-war demonstrations and other behaviors It is a symbol of its load, but the hippie ideas of peace and fraternity are its mainstream orientation; although according to current analysis, at that time they only used rock music, drugs and sexual promiscuity to anesthetize themselves as much as possible to get rid of negative escapism and boredom. Utopian illusion, but from another perspective, this kind of hysterical idealism, under the outer cover of evasion and self-deception, is the courage to sacrifice for the return of humanity and the pursuit of beauty that is envied and respected by contemporary youth. Now, even if someone sets up this gamble again - bet on freedom with survival, bet on fantasy with objectivity, bet with wine and meat on flowers, bet on spiritual sublimation with money and fame, and bet on the liberation of the soul and specific existence with the joy of the body. Given the environmental and cultural atmosphere, who would have the courage to invest in this losing gamble with a hundredfold confidence and enthusiasm? Ask this red-yellow society, ask you my numb and sluggish soul.
Due to the decline of the heroes in the 1960s, the rock music of the 1970s was not concentrated on some famous singers, but a group of heroes emerged, each dominating one side; on the other hand, due to the prosperity of rock music, business Sexuality also gradually emerged, and record dealers gradually understood the laws of the music industry, so the 1970s were also full of boring things. The power of rock music in the 1960s is that it changed the pop culture of the entire world. Its greatest feature is its rebelliousness. People cannot accept the "Rolling Stones", Jim Morrison or Bob Dylon, and denounce them as heretics and the source of evil and turmoil. But the unprecedented power of rock music shattered people's psychological balance. The 10 years of rock music made people gradually get used to and accept it. In the 1970s, people no longer felt that rock music was dangerous and scary.
Compared with the 1960s, the crazy rebellion of rock music in the 1970s was somewhat restrained, and it became relatively more decadent and cynical. This was clearly reflected in the punk music and new wave music of the late 1970s. . The 1970s was a time when some artists showed their talents, so rock music became more experimental in form. The concept of rock music is no longer "rhythm and blues + country music + folk music". It has become a testing ground for some artists. They try their best to add classical music, electronic music or third world music to rock music, or change or avoid the traditional rock music form, so there are pure rock and avant-garde rock.
In the experimental field of rock music, the two most prominent figures are Brian Eno and Lou Reed. Eno's contribution lies in his application of electronic synthesizers, which added another field to rock music. He integrated classical music, jazz and rock music with synthesizers, and expressed them with the characteristics of synthesizers. Lou Reed's works are more literary, and his music is a re-experimentation of blues and folk songs. The first record he and his band, The Velvet Underground, made was almost unheard, but almost everyone who listened to it became rock stars.
There is an interesting phenomenon in rock music in the 1970s: the music that was most attacked by critics at the time is talked about today; and the music that made people dizzy with excitement at the time is now being criticized. Spit on garbage. The rock music of the 1980s was too poor, and the distinctive rock music of the 1970s was not fully accepted by people at that time, so today people are giving the 1970s a new look. At that time, the more famous "Eagles" (Eagles), "REO Speedwagon" (REO Speedwagon), etc. Today, people realize that they just want to make some money and pretend to be rebellious. They are called " "Slick Rock".
Others, like Bob Dylon's Trail of Blood, Neil Young's Tonight's Night, and Mott The Hoople. Etc., their pursuit of vulgarity, weirdness, and chaos prevented those professional singers from showing off their musical skills, and shockingly created the best rock music of the 1970s.
Rock music of the 1970s Part 2:
The music of The Velvet Underground and The V. U. has no commercial value. The sales volume of their 4 albums at the time may not be as high as that of Michael Jackson in one day. Record sales, they seem to be more interested in noise and try to express it in music, which also makes their music tend to be low-key and depressed.
If the songs from their first album lt; In the more than 7 minutes of "Heroin", the guitar and violin made the most unpleasant and harsh noise. Reed sang numbly, "Heroin, you're my life, you're my wife." Many people today are proud to own this original record, but this unique and unforgettable record was unknown at the time and only a few thousand people had heard it. Critics agreed: this record was ten years too early. The V.U.'s music couldn't be simpler to listen to, breaking away from folk, country and rock to reinterpret it.
They were the pioneers of later punk music. The V. U. has expanded their musical themes to all areas of social life, from drug abuse, homosexuality, psychopathy to the representation of modern artistic thinking. The disgusting sound of The V.U. still frightens people to this day, but it can still make many people excited and tremble. Their appearance marks the rebirth of primitive and simple art.
Rock music in the 1970s Part 3:
Art rock What does it mean to add the word "art" in front of rock? Simply put, art rock refers to a kind of music that combines classical music and rock music starting in the 1960s. The so-called "avant-garde rock", "experimental rock", "avant-garde music" and other terms actually summarize art rock from different perspectives. "Avant-garde rock" and "experimental rock" are the combination of rock music and "avant-garde music" in art rock. "Pavant-garde music" refers to the deviation from the direction of serious music, the use of emerging technological means, and the use of music structures that have never been tried before. , using a new musical language to express a kind of modern thinking and consciousness, it also has a profound impact on conscious rock. Art rock is a general term for "avant-garde rock" and "experimental rock".
Initially, some art rock bands just imitated the works of classical musicians. They added orchestral music behind the guitar, bass, and drums in the form of rock music, or used electronic synthesizers to imitate orchestral music. And use the musical structure of classical music. This kind of poor imitation of classical music feels arty. With the continuous development of art rock, this style has gradually matured. Some art rock bands, such as "King Crimson", have been able to master classical music and rock music and merge them into a brand new music. , without losing the characteristics of classical music, rock music and electronic music.
Art rock does not last forever like art, but like other styles of rock music, it becomes history after ups and downs. Why didn't art rock last as long as heavy metal? Maybe this is a problem with art itself. Art has always been considered an ideology that is far away from the public. The more elegant it is, the farther away it is from the public.
Furthermore, rock music is the most popular thing, which is the basis of its flourishing, while art rock precisely emphasizes artistic taste and experimental color, and as a result, it loses more listeners. It may become a darling of a few critics, but it is not accepted by the majority of listeners.
The rock music of the 1970s gave people a strong aristocratic atmosphere. However, with the decline of the British economy, this aristocratic atmosphere was completely blown away by the noisy punk movement, and art rock soon gave way to punk. rock. But this is not to say that art rock is a failure. On the contrary, it is very successful. Just imagine, which period in the history of rock music can be as full of advanced exploration as the art rock of the 1970s, with many epoch-making classic works appearing, these works are brilliant and exciting. Art rock broke the boundaries between serious music and rock music for the first time, making rock music rich and complex. Art rock tells people that rock and roll is more than just rhythm and blues. Just as psychedelic rock only belongs to the 1960s, art rock only belongs to the 1970s. Since the glory of everything in the world is fleeting, we have nothing to regret about the short-lived glory of art rock.
The fourth rock music of the 1970s:
The art rock band worth mentioning is the "Melancholy Blues" band. It was originally a rhythm and blues band, but it was also known for its combination of classical music and Integrating rock music into an art rock band. Their 1967 album with a strong classical style "Days Of Future Passed" made them a big success. This album was the band's first collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra. ** Recorded at the same time, it is known as the most successful example of the combination of rock and classical music. Electronic music and symphony are exquisitely blended together, as well as gorgeous, romantic music and extremely philosophical and poetic lyrics. But this aesthetically pleasing art rock band only produced impressive works in the 1970s, and by the 1980s it had become a worthless pop band.
Another unforgettable band is Pink Floyd. In the 1960s, they had a psychedelic rock style, but after Sid Barrett left the group, Pink Floyd's style began to change, and Rick Wright's electronic synthesizers gradually came into use. Their continuous recording of film scores in the late 1960s provided them with opportunities for musical experimentation. Pink Floyd's electronic music experiments are not experiments on rhythm and musical structure, but focus on sound simulation and sound effects. Therefore, the music of this period seems to be bland compared to the previous ones.
After that, they began to pay attention to the coherence and integrity of the music from beginning to end. The results of this experiment were finally perfectly reflected in 1973's "The Dark Side of the Moon" ( In "Dark Side of the Moon", the success of this album gave the band a new direction in its development, that is, paying more attention to society. From "Dark Side of the Moon", Pink Floyd's works are no longer just Pursuing experimentalism, if they were pursuing a surrealist style before, then they later turned to realism. While emphasizing the overall sense and the use of background sound, the connotation of their works gradually became deeper and longer. The musical structure allowed the band to record outstanding albums in the following years, such as LT, LT, LT, etc.
Such a change in the band's style made Roger Waters gradually become the main leader of the band. His extraordinary talent shown in "The Dark Side of the Moon" made the musician gradually They became interested in society and politics, and their experimental rock became social rock. It was the result of Roger Waters' painstaking efforts, but it also made him surrounded by a wall in the political atmosphere. He excessively used rock music to express politics. In lt "Final Cut" and several of his personal albums, politics has become an indispensable seasoning, and the use of background sound has also reached the point of overflowing. Therefore, for Pink Floyd, the truly experimental music was between 1969 and 1973.
Fifth Rock Music of the 1970s:
In the development process of any art form, there will always be a phenomenon that is regarded as extremely valuable by future generations. , often at that time, I was always lonely and had few close friends. Rock music is no exception, especially experimental and progressive rock music. As a true rock musician, he is not willing to let art accommodate commercial needs. What he pursues is how to fully express and release his true emotions and thoughts through music.
If you like this kind of music, you will never just feel that it is just a kind of sensory comfort or satisfaction, but it may also be a kind of shock to the mind and the excitement of the spirit. Because it dares to tear down all hypocritical whitewashing and use real eyes to express all truths, whether good or evil; beautiful or ugly. And what later generations regard as valuable is nothing more than these factors, including the sacrifices they made.
Ask what is the loudest, loudest and noisiest music in the rock music industry. There is no doubt that it is hardcore and INDUSTRIAL. Although they are both very loud, it is necessary to distinguish between the two. It's very simple. HARDCORN is another name for PUNK in the United States. It is naturally more extreme than British PUNK. It is characterized by simple chords and fast drum beats with louder decibels and curse-like singing. Its lyrics are full of dissatisfaction with society (mostly superficial).
INDUSTRIAL, which has the same volume, is on the contrary. It originates from electronic music, and its timbre is closer to METAL than PUNK. The band is usually equipped with at least a sampler and a drum machine. Since INDUSTRIAL and E LECTRIONIC are close relatives, Therefore, it sounds relatively dark, and its lyrics generally focus on introspection, self-blame, nihilism, and illusion. It is these factors that have contributed to the creation of numerous industrial rock die-hards. The most famous name in the INDUS TRIAL music industry is undoubtedly NINE INCH NAILS. They became famous throughout the United States with their album "THE DOW NWARD SPIRAL" in 1994. The influence of the lead singer and the soul of the band TRENT REZNOR is probably not inferior to that of KURT COBAIN.
The other team that dominates the class is MINISTRY. It started as an electronic band in the 1980s, became increasingly low-key, and finally evolved into today's INDUSTRIAL BAND. However, what I want to introduce here is not these two, because there are many articles about them. I want to introduce some veterans and rookies who are not well-known to everyone.
MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO
MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO was formed in 1989 and is now signed under NOTHING. Its soul man J ACK DANGERS comes from the Bay Area of ??San Francisco. Of course, he is a Good at sampling. MBM's music is a synthesis of HIP HOP and INDUSTRIAL DANCE. Its symbol is the unique bass playing of JACK DANGERS and the laying out of ethereal atmosphere among the noise.
Generally speaking, MBM's works are not too noisy, but like most excellent IN DUSTRIAL music, there are not many lyrics filled with frustration and self-destruction, and from time to time it triggers DANGERS' slight anger. MBM's albums "ARMED AUDIO WARFARE" and "STORM THE STUDIO" directly contributed to the emergence of two important factions in today's electronic music world: BIG BEAT and DRUM & BASS, and influenced many later generations, including PRODIGY and CHEMICAL. BROTHERS, of course, just like SONIC YOUTH is not as popular as NI RVANA, MBM is far less well-known than bands such as PRODIGY. MBM even played several warm-up performances for PRODIGY's tour in the United States this year, but DANGERS does not care about it at all. As the team grows older, MBM's music begins to diversify, and its artistry has also been sublimated. Although its new album "ACTUAL SOUNDS AND VO ICES" retains many of MBM's iconic features, it also adds elements such as JAZZ, Jungle, and psychedelia, which has won unanimous praise from many European and American music critics.
SKINNY PUPPY
Electronics may be divided into many branches, such as POWER ELECTRONICS, DRUM & BASS, P ROG ROCK and INDUSTRIAL, etc., but they may never forget this name: SKINNY PUPPY . SP was founded in the second half of the 1980s, consisting of vocalist OGRE, keyboardists DWAYNE GOETTEL and CEVIN KEY. They are almost synonymous with industrial rock and continue to influence later generations. If you have seen the live performance of lead singer OGRE, you will find that MARYLIN MANSON is nothing new. CEVIN K EY, another important figure in SP, has a strong obsession with darkness. He likes cheap synthesizers, drum machines and sample machines to produce a dissonant and evil sound, creating the electronic version of THRASH. METAL and Death DISCO, coupled with OGRE's pale but powerful voice, once caused many people to misunderstand SP as a goth band. Of course, SP is a pioneer industrial rock band. Its emergence directly promoted the development of industrial music in the future and made it an independent music school. His first classic album is "LAST RITES" in 1992. Because there are many fringe combinations among SP members, and OGRE once talked about the wine division, Xiaozhao P could not escape the fate of disbandment in the end. However, thankfully, these veterans did not feel depressed. They are each constantly honing their own skills. Musical talent. CEVIN KEY has collaborated with other musicians to release many personal works, the most commendable of which is the 1997 work "MUSIC FOR CAT S". OGRE also stole the show in the American music scene this year. He collaborated with famous drummers in the industrial music world. Former PUBLIC I MAGE LTD. member MARTIN ATKINS formed a temporary group RX and released the album "BESIDE TOX ICOLOGY", which became a rare excellent album this year. In this album, you can hear rhythmic small explosions, sharp and short scratching sounds, the ranch background of England and SYD BARRETT-style acid elements. In short, if you are tired of industrial rock, then this is The album will bring you right back into its arms. What is the significance of RX? In the words of MARTIN ATKINS, he wants to light a fire in the coffin of industrial music.
GRAVITY KILLS
This four-piece band from St. Louis is indeed a very lucky band.
They signed a contract with the large company TVT in 1995. Their first album of the same name won gold record sales. Later, they performed with industry giants SEX PISTOLS. In 1997, their REMIX album "MANUFACTURED" won the support of many names in the industrial music industry. Helping each other, naturally accompanied by a sharp rise in their popularity. Their style is a bit like BUSH in the UK, which is to follow the trend and strive to be the best. The second album "PERVERSION" has been released recently. It is an out-and-out rock album. Of course, the melody is more popular, and on this basis, ordinary music fans can still gain some new ideas after listening to their records. Because they added BLACK SABBATH's style and gothic atmosphere to it, the level has been greatly improved compared to its previous album. With the increase in popularity, GRAVITY KILLS has now gained the reputation of "Five Inch Nails".
ORGY
ORGY is another new band. They are signed to ELEMENTREE, the record company of KORN's lead singer JONATHAN DAVIS. Since KORN is now very popular in the United States, many KORN Loyal fans naturally love Wu and Wu and praise ORGY to the sky. But in my opinion, ORGY Red makes sense. ORGY's music sounds a bit like a combination of R AGE AGAINST THE MACHINE and WHITE ZOMBIE. In other words, it is the result of KORN-style metal singing and industrial dance music. But contrary to what people expected, ORGY's music did not love their influence. Their music, in the words of guitarist RYAN SHUCK, was deeply influenced by DURAN DURAN and DAVID BOWI E. They called their music Called DEATH-POP, this five-member band lives up to its name and is dressed really luxuriously: dyed hair, tight shirts, tight suits, shiny leather shoes, and gold watches make up their attire. Under their cool appearance, they Indeed, he has many unique skills in music. His first album "CANDYASS" in 1998 was widely praised by European and American music critics. It's a bit like the melody of NEW ORDER, but it's an industrial dance rhythm with amplified decibels that hits you in an oppressive way. Coupled with the uninhibited British singing voice of lead singer JAY GORDON, it has a unique flavor. All in all, CANDYASS is worth a listen.
In fact, there are many more famous names in the industrial music world, such as KMFDM, PIGFACE, etc., and there are also many independent record companies focusing on industrial music, such as 21ST CIRCURITY, PENDRAGON, etc. By the way, the new album "THE FRAGILE" by NIN (Nine Inch Nails), the hope of the record industry, which they have been honing for five years, will be released early next year. By then, I believe that all music fans will be able to experience the charm of industrial rock. and new development trends.
The ten most "bad" people in the history of rock and roll
Great figures may be born every day in the history of rock and roll. They may emerge one day and become a star and influence the whole world. Group after group of people, most of those affected also dream of becoming stars and becoming famous in history. Of course you can’t count how many singing groups with mushroom heads were born after the appearance of the Beatles, nor how many heavy metal bands were born after Led Zepplin. But you know that without "Woody Guthrie" there would be no Bob Dylan; without Rolling Stone, there would be no AeroSmith; without "The Byrds", R.E.M's music would not be what it is today.
The hobby of music and the operation of the recording industry determine that there is an inevitable connection between the music of many musicians, and sometimes this connection
