Chapter 162 A Battle

Rock history is littered with similar disasters.

The most tragic one ever was the Who Band. In their performance in 1979, there were more than 7000 spectators at the scene, but there were only two entrances, and there were not enough ticket checks and security personnel, resulting in eleven spectators entering the venue in chaos. At that time, he was trampled to death.

But that's just history after all.

No one would have imagined that tragedy would happen around them.

Therefore, when James heard the news, he was stunned on the spot.

The reporters were still desperately pushing forward, like a group of wild wolves with green eyes, and the microphones almost poked him in the mouth...

At this moment, they actually didn't care about the two dead people.

All they care about is 'Jimmy can say something and make news for them'.

But James was never stupid.

He who always likes to talk nonsense with the media was surprisingly calm on that day, hugging the little black dog Jiji, silent without saying a word, never letting anyone get caught, let alone the opportunity for reporters to write news.Until Abel finally rushed over with more than a dozen bodyguards, rushed into the crowd, and 'rescued' him and Gigi.

Afterwards, everyone stayed in the hotel room together to watch relevant news reports on TV, and they watched some blurry videos of the conflict...

Bassist Sanderson seemed to be crying; Lance bit his finger nervously and hid himself in the shadows of the room; so'.

As for James...

He poured himself a bottle of beer first.

On the cusp of the storm, the band members dare not speak easily.

But in order to relieve the sadness and sadness in his heart, James still wanted to do something.

Later, he pulled everyone to hold a small performance in the rehearsal room, just to make up for the two fans who died unfortunately.

In the rehearsal room, there is no outsider.

Only their good friend Davis took the camera to capture this scene.

James looked tenderly at the photo of the two fans with those green eyes and said: "Honey, I know, you are 16 years old this year. You put on fashionable little skirts, put on delicate makeup, and are in front of the mirror I took two hundred photos, just to appear beautifully in front of my favorite band; you ran to the theater seven or eight hours in advance, just for the possibility of "maybe you can run into your favorite band members before the performance"; you hope to stand In the front row, the beloved band is closer and closer, so close that you can hear their rapid breathing, see them sweating tiredly, and clearly feel the beautiful melody in the air... Now, Fulfilled. These good elements are all yours and will stay with you forever."

No one spoke, and there was no additional audience.

Everyone was in the rehearsal room, earnestly performing the canceled performance for the two deceased fans.

After the turmoil subsided, Davis quietly sent the video to the homes of the two fans who were killed. It was not known to the public until many, many years later.

Abel, on the other hand, took an entire public relations team with him to speak out.

He first expressed his sadness for the lost fans, and then gently reminded everyone: "The band members are here to perform for the audience, and it is not what they want when something like this happens."

Perhaps in some people's eyes, this is some remarks to shirk responsibility.

But Abel just wants to protect his entertainers.

The loss of life is a terrible and sad thing for anyone. As an agent, he can only do his job well first.

Most people can also understand the innocence of the band itself.

After all, the competition between the bands has been constantly instigated by the media from the very beginning, and the two bands have never officially made their voices...

As time went on, things quieted down.

But at this moment, Stuart accidentally said the wrong thing.

In fact, on the night of the clash, fans on both sides were at odds over: Did Planets steal the British idea of ​​Dancing Sculptures?

This point of contention has arisen before.

Normally, it was indeed Stewart who first released the "Beautiful England" album and continued to call for the importance of British music and resistance to grunge.

But these actions of his did not elicit any response, and instead failed completely.

After that, the Planetary Band seized the pulse of the times and entered the arena at the right time. They also promoted the local music of England and called for resistance to grunge rock, but they succeeded in creating brilliance.

So, if it wasn't for the fact that the Planets stole Stewart's ideas, it seemed to make sense.

But the problem is that the music styles of the two bands are completely different, and it is impossible to talk about who imitated Sleep.As for the British concept, they are all British and advocate local music. This is completely natural. How can it be said to be "stealing the concept"?

So, the two bands don't really care about it at all.

But for some reason, fans of both sides always quarrel over this issue.

It was the same that day, the exact source is not clear.

But because of this dispute, the fans of the two parties began to scold each other, and they started to fight again. In the end, the scale expanded and turned into a tragedy.

Among the two fans who died, one came to see the performance of the Dancing Sculpture Band. She insisted that Stewart was the No.1 who proposed the British concept; But maybe I like Xingxing more, I came to see Xingxing band perform, I don't want to get involved in the dispute at all, it's purely being involved, it's a disaster.

But in any case, Stuart was probably too stimulated and out of his mind.

First, despite the dissuasion of his manager, he ran to attend the funeral of the fans; even if he attended, he also said a word to the fans who passed away: "I will not disappoint your love, I will prove it to you. "

This kid is so stupid sometimes!

Those who are familiar with Stu should know that he has never been thoughtful, so saying such a sentence in sadness may be just casual.These words are definitely not aimed at the Planetary Band, he is not that kind of person, and the so-called proof in his mouth is likely to say that he will make music well in the future, so that he can become better and more worthy of people's love...

But the problem is that the time when he said this is too sensitive.

Two bands compete, two fans fight...

So, what are you trying to prove?what can you prove

Proof that dancing sculptures are stronger than planets?

The flames of war that had just subsided a little due to the tragic incident were ignited again!

The media continued to rage over the feud between Planet and Dancing Sculptures.Then, everyone in the whole of the UK was involved in this battle, and everyone started to pay attention to this competition consciously or unconsciously, and the streets and alleys were full of discussions.

The Planetary Band can't do without a fight.

In other words, even if there is no challenge, it will be pushed to the battlefield step by step by public opinion.

Things are getting nasty.

No one paid any attention to the two lives that had just passed away, but all attention was shifted to the battle between the two bands.

They encouraged and refueled by the side, and through various channels, such as TV, newspapers, magazines and online forums that gradually emerged, they gave countless people popular science about the grievances and grievances of the two bands, and counted the intersections between them.Among them, even the fact that Lance wrote a song for Stewart at the beginning, and the fact that Stewart leaked on the show about "Jimmy handed me spirits as mineral water" were all dug out, which became evidence of their mutual hatred.

Don't talk about outsiders...

Even the members of the two bands were a little confused when they saw the detailed science popularization: "Is there such a deep hatred between us?"

In this messy situation, James and Lance had no choice but to temporarily abandon the past and start planning to make new albums and singles.

But this time, they were not in high spirits.

Taking the initiative to make music and being forced to make music are completely two different feelings.

What's more, the environment at that time was too bad.

There's always some Dancing Sculptures fan popping up, singing "Beautiful England" at them, and throwing raw eggs at them.

James was about to explode.

If Lance hadn't pulled him desperately, he would definitely have rushed to teach this group of people a lesson.

But at the same time, Stewart also suffered the same treatment.

And, to be fair, Planets fans outnumber Dancing Sculptures fans.

But James and Lance didn't know.

In this era, the transmission of information is not so fast. The two of them didn't know what happened to Stuart at all. They were just indignant at the behavior of the fans of the Dancing Sculpture Band, so much so that they accidentally cursed several swear words in front of the paparazzi reporters.

The fearful paparazzi immediately relayed these words to the dancing sculpture band.

Stuart hasn't said anything yet...

The guitarist Oakland, who was completely agitated by the atmosphere of the confrontation between the two parties, was furious: "Every educated and well-bred person should not talk about his genitals all day long. If Jimmy can't speak, please ask him Shut up."

However, James' response was very hooligan: "You JB, you have the ability to hit me!"

Speaking of this, we must mention the issue of human tolerance.

Because everyone's growth environment and upbringing are different, the acceptance of swear words is also different.

For James, who has been on the streets for more than ten years, swearing is like saying hello, and most of the time there is no malice, it is purely a language habit, a special language for venting emotions;

But to Stewart and Oakland, who are well off and in relatively upper-middle-class social circles, the swear words sound harsh and infuriating.

If the relationship between the two parties is still friendly, most of them will not think about it and laugh it off.

However, as the relationship between the two parties continued to deteriorate and the fighting emotions intensified, James' words and deeds suddenly aroused the anger of all members of the dancing sculpture band.

For a time, the two bands entered into a completely irreconcilable hatred situation.

The situation is so serious that if people from both parties accidentally meet, they will ignore each other.

Stuart was at a loss and sad about this, and he couldn't figure out how this was developing...

After realizing that the situation was getting out of control, he especially wanted to stop this meaningless fight.

Normal musical exchange and competition is a good thing.

But the current situation is clearly abnormal!

In order to save the friendship, but also to stop this fight.

Stewart naively wanted to be the first to make the overture.

So, when James no longer answered his phone, he sneaked to the backstage of the TV station.

At the time, Planet was on a talk show.

When the show is over and the Planetary Band and the rest are leaving...

Stewart sprinted out of the slash, hugged James, and kissed him hard as a gesture of friendship.

At the moment James froze in place...

Lance gave everyone an explosion in place.
