158.JX Invasion(1/2)

It is 9 o'clock in the morning in the East 8th District time, and it is just after 9 o'clock in the evening in New York, USA.

The smile on Axl's face, who had just hung up the phone, turned into a deep sigh as the phone's busy tone sounded.

"Okay, okay, boys, there's no time to be sad," Jeff stood up. "There are tens of thousands of people waiting for you outside!"

Everyone stood up one after another, stretched their waists, picked up the piano, and turned the trouser pockets of their performance clothes inside out and back again.

"go!go!go!"

"get high!"

Under the light, the sound of the helicopter's propellers drowned out the waves of people.

The high platform rises in the center of Times Square, complementing the neon lights of the square buildings in the distance.

On the big screen of the building, the golden letters of Guns & Roses were bright and eye-catching.

Below the high platform, waves of people came and went, like waves of swaying wheat, and waves of cheers undulated like tidal waves.

Axl Rose slowly rose from the lift into the crowd's sight. He was wearing a black T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of red boxer briefs on his lower body. His long, slightly curled hair was flowing.

A burst of louder cheers covered up the roar of the helicopter's propellers. The helicopter floated away, and the patrol cars on the ground stood ready.

"Just now, just now," the lead singer on stage held the microphone, "JX's friends called us."

The audience in the audience stared at the stage in confusion.

"JX, friends, JX!" the lead singer's duck voice is very penetrating, "Now you will hear "November Rain" written by JX for us, for everyone!"

"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"

The audience seemed to understand what had happened. The screams were like waves hitting rocks, and the crowd carried the fainted person out of the venue.

The piano and violin sounded together, the majestic piano sound with an epic feel, and the melodious flute sound added in the middle, as if whispering a long story.

"When I look into your eyes, I see repressed love.

But, my dear, when I hold you, do you know that I feel the same way?

Because nothing is eternal, and we understand that our hearts will change."

The crowd was swaying and rising and falling with the music.

This 9-minute song cannot be played on any radio station due to its length, because no radio station will spare the full 9 minutes to play this song.

However, due to its excellent performance, the song has reached the 30th spot on the Billboard Hot Singles list, second only to "Don't Cry" from the same album.

It has been rated as "a perfect masterpiece" and "a poetic symphonic rock" by many music critics.

At the same time, its MV won MTV's Best Cinematography, and its views on YouTube exceeded 100 million in one month.

Because of this MV, the owners of major musical instrument stores went crazy with joy, and monthly guitar sales tripled year-on-year.

Slash stood there with the guitar in his arms, like a lone wolf, strumming the guitar with his fingers. Many years later, this solo will be included in the documentary and become one of the "Ten Most Wonderful Solos in the History of Rock".



"Are these albums also written by JX? Or are they just given to him by others?" Gao Xiaobai asked.

"Didn't the manager of Guns N' Roses just say that," Jiang Xinhai said, "that JX is a mysterious songwriter or something."

"But..." Gao Xiaobai was a little crazy, "These songs are all popular songs in Europe and the United States. Could it be that he wrote them all by himself?"

If it was just a hardcore version of Guns N' Roses and it was written by JX, then he would be more understanding.

But if pop rock music like Magic Red and Linkin Park were also written by JX, then he would have really broken through.

At Gao Xiaobai's level, if a song with good reputation but not popular was played in his face, he would just smile and say nothing. After all, he also had "She at the Same Table" - who didn't become popular back then? You

No matter how good your writing is, will it be as famous as me?

But if it was a song that was both well-received and well-received, and even his own son was playing it on a single cycle, and it was said to be written by JX, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

How come the American people’s aesthetics are like this!

Jiang Xinhai shrugged.

She has no control over what Gao Xiaobai thinks.

She knew that Chen Ya was the kind of person who would only say seven points when he did ten points.

He said that most of the private collection contains his songs, so that should be it.

If it had been someone else's song, given his personality, he would have probably marked it with the sentence "At their strong request, I put this song in, just like Pink Floyd's previous albums."

I don’t want to be here.”

If he said that it was put in at the strong request of others, then it must be true.

Chen Ya would never lie to anyone about such boring things.

Jiang Xinhai thinks so, but others don't think so.

Not everyone knows Chen Ya as well as she does.

"These albums," Gao Xiaobai pointed to the row of bookshelves, "maybe a random song will be heard by at least hundreds of millions of people."

Yingzi frowned and looked at him, finding his statement scary. Yan Yunzhuo smiled: "Teacher Gao, what you said is too exaggerated..."

"Exaggeration? I also said it was more restrained!" Gao Xiaobai casually clicked on the screen, "Just like Magic Red, they also have a few songs, which are also golden songs of the century."

As he clicked, the background music changed and a whistle sounded.

As soon as this whistle sounded, the expressions on everyone's faces became wonderful.

"I've actually heard of this, a super magical one, especially this whistle." He Ling said with wide eyes.

""Moves Like Jagger"," Gao Xiaobai said, "Look, this is also very popular in China, but others don't know it's from this band."

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was filled with "666":

"Indeed, every disco has this song. It's so magical."

“A lot of video editors have this melody, but I don’t know it’s from this band.”

"Awesome, was this also written by JX?"



This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Xiaobai clicked another song: "And this song "Animals", and "ht" and "Lost Stars"..."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head: "These are songs that have been on the charts for a long time, and this is just a band!"

"There is also Republic Era. The name of the band may not be familiar to you, but when it comes to "Apologize", many people have heard it. There is also "g Stars", which many people must be familiar with."

"Look how many bands there are here? Dream Dragon, Green Day, Linkin Park..."

""Believer", "Wheember Ends", "In the end"... Oh my god, did he write all these songs?"

Some people watching the live broadcast tried hard to search for the music mentioned by Gao Xiaobai.

When the singing started, many people's expressions changed.

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t search it, but you’ll hear it as soon as you search it: So it’s this song?

There is a lack of channels for this music in China, and most people hear it from video clips and roadside speakers.

So they don't know the name of the band or the name of the song, they are only familiar with the melody.

This also indirectly shows that these songs are of high quality and the melodies are very catchy.

"I have listened to all these bands," Cui Dayou said suddenly, "They are very good. If they are all written by JX, then he is really good and can even master English."

Gao Xiaobai opened his mouth: "Can't you?"

"The English lyrics must have been written by others, right? I don't think I've heard of many non-native language lyricists." Wang Feng said.

Gao Xiaobai said: "I don't know, the album cover is not written, and these songs are only written with the original singers, not the songwriters."

While Gao Xiaobai was shocked, Yingzi felt more and more irritable.

Just now, Gao Xiaobai had a conversation in English with the person opposite her, but she didn't understand much. She just felt that everyone's reaction was exaggerated.

At this time, she heard that they were still arguing about whether the songwriter was JX, which made her even more irritated.

"When we connected on the phone, didn't we ask who the songwriter was?" Yingzi frowned.

"No, I was just looking at the problem." Qin Yunchu said.

Gao Xiaobai thought of something and said: "I mentioned the British Invasion, as if they said that JX is the mysterious songwriter behind more than a dozen bands..."

Yingzi asked: "Then did he say which dozen of bands they were specifically?"

Gao Xiaobai shook his head.

"Did you tell me which song was specifically written by JX?"

Gao Xiaobai shook his head again.

"You didn't say that these are the bands on display now?"

Gao Xiaobai was silent. He seemed to have no need to answer.

Yingzi sighed:
