MR.BIG/"To be with you"

The GRUNGE [garage rock] fire ignited by SOUNDGARDEN [Sound Garden] and NIRVANA [Nirvana] burned the history of rock and roll. Throughout the 1990s, countless bands that emerged during this period followed suit and competed with distorted, distorted guitar noise. There are two bands in the United States that have bucked the trend and persisted in heavy metal music and successfully stood out. Not only did they perform and develop heavy metal music brilliantly, but they also created miraculous record sales. The band even won Grammy Awards and NOW! A huge favorite of music labels. One of them is the famous BON JOVI band, and the other one is the MR.BIG band mentioned by the helpless man.

I noticed that the helpless man had already posted the details of MR.BIG, so I won’t go into details about the band’s establishment and development history, but will focus on my personal feelings about the music of Mr. Big’s band. Mr. Big Band is a typical heavy metal band, with crisp and sharp guitar strums, powerful and breathtaking drumming rhythm, looming and appropriate bass, especially the masculine yet affectionate lead singer Eric Martin. The hoarse magnetic voice is as standard as the "heavy metal textbook". As soon as the music comes out, the listener's heart will surge and the blood will boil. Every cell in the body will be bursting with excitement due to the violent impact of the music, allowing countless heavy metal fans to rediscover their passion for music. The destination of the soul. While adhering to the heavy metal music style, the band has also established its own musical personality. They have injected a strong, soulful and melodious blues music style into the heavy metal music background, and MR.BIG has always focused on the beauty and listenability of the music melody. This strong and vicissitudes yet gentle and affectionate music feature has won them countless fans from all over the world.

The song "To be with you" recommended today is undoubtedly the band's most outstanding tender work. The whole work is filled with a relaxed atmosphere of enjoying music creation. The music starts from the unnoticeable band members looking at each other and laughing, followed by the drum beat that controls the rhythm, and the lead singer's magnetic singing blends in just right, and the singing is full of The affectionate begging from the bottom of the heart, and the heartache of the heart is transmitted to the heart of the listener. At this time, the chorus of other members of the band takes the music to the extreme, and the harmony of the lead singer's voice and the background chorus also makes this song possible. The most outstanding feature of music. Particularly worth mentioning is Eric Martin's singing. His elegant and soulful interpretation style cannot be found in other heavy metal singers. The guitar strumming in the musical background is also very skillful, adding a lot of color to the whole music without taking over the spotlight. This is all due to the extraordinary skill of the guitarist Paul Gilbert, so there is a classic and listenable guitar in every song of MR.BIG. SOLO has also achieved MR.BIG's unique musical personality.

NIRVANA/"Smelsl like teen spirit"

There are few singers in the world who can be worshiped like the "God of Rock" by many fans after their death like KURT COBAIN. .

In the 1990s, the unemployment crisis in the United States resurfaced, punk music exploded again in the music industry, and the grunge music storm in Seattle caused a strong response and sensation. NIRVANA formed by KURT COBAIN can be called GRUNGE. of leading figures. In September 1991, the album Nevermind was released. Sales reached 500,000 copies within just 5 weeks of its release. On January 11, 1992, it became the number one selling album in the United States, and global sales exceeded the 10 million mark. It was a huge commercial success. (Nevermind) brought Nirvana to success, created the myth of a non-mainstream band becoming mainstream, and also started a spiritual tragedy.

The song "smell like teen spirit" recommended here is a representative work from NIRVANA's album Nevermind. The distorted guitar, hoarse singing voice, and sudden explosion in the music brought out the mania, anger, depression, distortion, morbidity, and intensity in Kurt Cobain's heart. The contradictions and conflicts of KURT are fully displayed, and it also reflects the tender, emotional, fragile and fearful side of KURT. At MTV's unplugged concert, Kurt Cobain looked more like a quiet, shy little girl. Her incompatibility with the outside world had already laid the groundwork for the tragedy.

On April 5, 1994, KURT COBAIN ended his life with a shotgun at his residence, a traditional festival for worshiping the dead in China. The reason for committing suicide is just like his last helpless sigh in "Where Did You Sleep Last Night". No one can really understand it. Maybe God should not stay in the world! KURT COBAIN used actions to realize his musical ideals and was reborn like a phoenix. However, what he left behind for countless music fans was endless nostalgia and heartache! ! !

GOO GOO DULLS/"Iris"

In 1985, lead singer and guitarist John Rzeznik and his cousin Robby Takac, who played heavy metal music, found former drummer George Tutuska in Buffalo, New York, USA. Cheng formed the three-piece rock group Goo Goo Dolls. Although the band won some critical acclaim and popularity during the release of its first five albums, the band did not establish its own musical identity and therefore failed to stand out from the many alternative rock bands and become popular.

But God seems to be particularly partial to them. Fortunately, the movie "City Of Angels" invited them to write songs for its soundtrack. The song "Iris" (Greek, rainbow) written and performed by John Rzeznik not only It won them three award nominations including Record of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Group, Song of the Year at the 41st Grammy Awards in 1999, and brought the Goo Goo Dolls' reputation in the music industry and sales figures to the top. Producer Rob Cavallo even won the Best Production Award of the Year. Goo Goo Dolls began to establish their own status in the music world and found a POP ROCK style that suited them.

"Iris" can be called a once-in-a-decade piece of pop-rock music. The music starts with a crisp and fast guitar solo, and John Rzeznik's deep voice full of vicissitudes is full of questions about the world and love. The sudden high-pitched outburst in the middle of the song seems to have turned doubts into a sincere vow, "Even if everything is destroyed, I only want you to know who I am!" The beauty of the melody is in sharp contrast with the roughness of the lead singer's voice, and because of this, This piece of music breaks away from the category of sweet love songs and becomes a super classic that you can never tire of listening to. Due to the melodiousness of this music, the original CD has been sold out in all major city audio and video stores (City of Angels), and even its imported CD has sold for a record-breaking 30 yuan.

The wide popularity of this song further supports my point of view. Once a veteran of heavy metal and heavy rock for many years performs a tender work with a pure soundtrack and perfect melody, then that is European and American music. The best of all, it can be called the sound of nature! ! !

SOUL ASYLUM/"Runaway Train"

You may love a lot of music and be moved by many bands and singers, but there can only be one band that is integrated with your soul. Yes, the one I have is Soul Asylum. When I heard their music for the first time, I suddenly had a strange feeling of familiarity, and I couldn’t help but hum along with it. I hummed completely according to my heart. , but it fit perfectly with the music of Soul Asylum like a ghost. Most of the passers-by on the road looked at me strangely, but I turned a blind eye and was completely immersed in the great joy of finding my musical confidant and destination.

This alternative rock band was founded in 1983. The style established by the band when it was founded was violent punk and hard rock. It did not stand out among the many underground bands of this type in the United States at that time. Several of the band's The album did not cause much sensation. Due to the damage caused by the loud noise during long-term rehearsals and performances, David Pirner, the lead guitarist and vocalist, became deaf. However, even so, he did not give up his interest in music. Their persistent pursuit, and as a blessing in disguise, they began to rehearse some acoustic works, and achieved unparalleled success. In 1992, they released an album "Grave Dancers Union". This deep yet tender acoustic album caused huge surprises from music critics to ordinary music fans as soon as it hit the charts. Many works in the album are classics, and "Runaway Train" has become a world-class rock classic. In subsequent albums, the band still adhered to the musical style established by this album. The band's fans and album sales increased day by day. The handsome soul of the band, Pierna, even became an alternative idol in the United States in the 1990s. In 2000, the band released the collection "Black Gold: The Best Of Soul Asylum", ushering in another peak of their career. Among the many albums, my favorite is "Let Your Dim Light Shine", perhaps because of my preconceptions, because this is the album that created an incredible buzz when I first came into contact with it.

The recommended song "Runaway Train" can be called Soul Asylum's flagship work. This is a work that describes the problem of missing children. Accompanied by crisp and clean guitars and calm drums, the lead singer Pirner's hoarse voice recited the deepest sorrow and accusation from the bottom of his throat or from the bottom of his heart. The extreme sadness and anger are usually not tears of blood or roaring, but an almost peaceful, light statement, but this is It is easier to penetrate into the heart of the listener. My heart rose and fell with the slightly sad music, and I seemed to see the helpless and absent-minded eyes of a mother who had lost her own child.

Guns N' Roses / "Don't cry"

Guns N' Roses was born in Hollywood in 1985. It is the most controversial band in the history of American rock music after the Sex Pistols. It was formed by the merger of two bands, L.A.GUNS and AXL.ROSE. Therefore, the perfect harmony of the dual lead singers "Gun" and "Rose" has always been the signature feature of Guns N' Roses. Their songs mainly reflect the unbridled anger and confusion of teenagers, expressing a sense of restlessness and sexual awakening. Their musical opinions and band members' infidelity have been the subject of much discussion by critics and rock fans since the band's inception, because for these rock figures, their lifestyle can be said to be the best expression of their music. Elaborate. In 1989, Guns N' Roses won the Best Artist Award at the first International Rock and Roll Awards. In 1992, they were called "the best hard rock band in the world" by the authoritative "Rolling Stone" magazine.

At this time, they have become a world-famous rock band that can compete with any established rock powerhouse. However, due to the intensification of the conflict between the two souls of the band, Guns N' Roses announced their disbandment soon after. The band members developed their own careers, but their performance was mediocre and they lost their former vigor. Although Guns N' Roses also reunited during the wave of band reorganization in the late 1990s, the disappearance of their creative power disappointed fans who were looking forward to them.

The most influential songs of Guns N' Roses are "DON'T CRY" and "NOVEMBER RAIN" (the latter song won the American Social Herald Award for outstanding lyrics), "DON'T "T CRY" stayed on the Billboard charts for nearly 3 years (147) weeks, creating a legend in rock music. In the song "DON'T CRY", Guns N' Roses changed from their previous anger and intensity, and the two lead singers croaked one through the vicissitudes of life and the other sadly. A heart-stirring and tender song, and the helplessness and frustration expressed in the song are the ultimate in anger. Not only at the end of the song, but also at the beginning of the song, there is a faint moaning sound of [ai], and there are many prolonged [ai] sounds in the whole song. According to my hearing, they should be through The extended [ai] cry is used to express a heartbreaking heartache. In the MTV version, the girlfriends of the two lead singers sadly left because they did not cherish them enough, and even disappeared. MTV used a very long paragraph Come to reminisce about the good times in the past, and the heartache of regret is vividly expressed. It is worth noting that in the [ai] song at the end, the lead singer AXL.ROSE trembled his hands against the light and dust transmitted from the top of the window, and suddenly a beautiful white dove fluttered away. Perhaps this [ai] song There is also a kind of extravagant hope of renewing the relationship hidden in it!

I only know so many of these bands or singers. They were very accomplished in the 1990s. You might as well listen
