When I talked about the name Qin Qi with several classmates, several classmates were surprisingly unanimous in correcting my "mistakes", not saying that it was Chyi Chin. I stubbornly shook my head and said that it was Qin Qi, definitely Qin Qi, not Chyi Chin, and this Qin Qi was not Chyi Chin. Qin Qi, an early rocker, was one of the lead singers of "Tumbler Band" (the other two lead singers were Sun Guoqing and Li Ji), and now he runs a bar in Sanlitun South Street, Beijing. It can be said that he is one of the founders of Chinese rock and roll in the early days.
As a member of one of the two early rock bands in China (Tumbler Band), Qin Qi naturally has his understanding and influence on rock and roll, but he is an easy-going man with a firm heart. Therefore, after the dissolution of Tumbler Band, Qin Qi stayed in Black Panther band for some time. At that time, Dou Wei had just left Black Panther band, and Luanshu had not become the lead singer. The Panthers invited Qin Qi, and Qin Qi only stayed in the Panthers for a while. It can be said that Qin Qi is the shortest one in the band when he is the lead singer of Black Panther band.
After leaving Black Panther band, Qin Qi was invited by Mrding (Ding Wu), who was also a "tumbler" before, to join the Tang Dynasty Band (199) and become the lead singer. At that time, Ding Wu wanted to play the second guitar. It was just that the band was still rehearsing at that time, and Qin Qi had something to do, so he left the band. However, in the first album Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty released by the Tang Dynasty, we saw Qin Qi's name and the dream at the end of the century, which was a bit of a dead metal flavor. This is also the only recording about this famous rocker that can be found at present.
what about now? Qin Qi opened a bar in Sanlitun. In an interview with a radio station in Beijing, he said: "The main business is still making music and rock music. I'm going to make my own band, three people, and the most basic, Blues and Rap style. I opened this bar to make a living, so that I don't have to do some music I don't like and just do what I like, so I don't have to do it for money, because I don't know how to make a living by music, and I may not earn a penny. " This is Qin Qi, a "poor rocker", a determined musician who can't make a living or even earn a penny.
As a rock musician, the name Telly is louder than Qin's eponymous name, but they are brothers, but their music has little to do with it. Telly started to rock and roll under the leadership of Qin Qi's older children, and also organized the Mayday Band. Regarding the reason why Qin Yong learned to rock and roll, he said in an interview: "Later, my brother and them began to get in touch with guitars, drums and bass. Anyway, rock and roll is the most basic. Because of the age difference, as older children, they don't want to take me to play. I try my best to do odd jobs for them in poor farmers. Anyway, the influence I get from them is very great. "
After Mayday broke up, Telly organized another band named 1989, but it was later dissolved. So he came to Black Panther band, became a member of Panther who frequently changed the lead singer, released two albums, and is still the lead singer in Black Panther band. I heard that they released a new album a few days ago, and someone put a new song in the post on the Internet. I can't remember the title of the song clearly. Works with good melody, and many people scolded Panther, saying that they compromised and became popular. In recent years, Panther also appeared frequently in TV stations. Regarding these, Telly said: "Actually, I think our compromise is a shame for ourselves, but I think our responsibility is a little bigger than the shame. Therefore, as the current situation in China, we think rock music is a particularly good thing, and we will let everyone know by hook or by crook. Of course, this is something that the first group of us must do for future generations. Then it's different abroad now. I have this capital. As long as you are good, you can go to school. But it's up to me. I won't go until I'm willing to. People have developed to this point, but we in China have just started, and there is no way. We must do it ourselves. "
Of course, this can be seen as an excuse for all the rock musicians who gave in to the pop. Gao Qi, Xu Wei, Zheng Jun, Zero Band and Black Panther band, perhaps this is their mood and they want to work hard for the legalization of Chinese rock. Perhaps it is for their own purse. After all, rock musicians are called "poor rockers", and if they compromise with pop music, they may make more money every day. With their talents, this is easy to do. Gao Qi, Xu Wei, Zheng Jun, Zero Point and Panther have all proved this for us. Maybe it's just their excuse.
At the end, I quote a comment made by my brother Qin Qi on my brother Telly: "Actually, he doesn't have much to do with me. In fact, he is doing his own thing, because I don't know when he sang and when he took up music. I don't think his experience is quite the same as mine. The ideological things are not as thick as ours. He belongs to the kind with good talent and international voice, but I think the connotation is still a little thinner.
