I have a lot of friends. The whole of my band, that's all.
——Morrissey
Morrissey, a representative of rock and roll in the 1980s, is a British singer-songwriter and is recognized as an independent music innovator.
In the 1980s, he was the lead singer of the alternative rock band The Smiths.
After the band disbanded in 1987, Morrissey began his solo career, which was still impressive.
The music magazine NME once dubbed Morrissey "one of the most influential musicians of all time."
The Independent said that "most pop singers have to die before they reach their current status".
Morrissey's lyrics are storytelling, intense and nuanced, and while frustrating on the surface, they are always deeper satire at heart.
The bitter satire of the real world has become a personal symbol of him, and frank expression will also make him be drawn into the air of public opinion from time to time.
"For me, songs are more than just light-hearted entertainment. They are my receptors, leading me into a consciousness different from reality, a different republic, a free republic. I just think the mainstream culture is backward and a deceptive trick. It's like the solid frost outside the window, and you have to walk on it in bulky shoes. ”
——Bob Dylan
In addition to some veteran music lovers and fans, the name Bob Dylan is a search box for today's young people, and the most recent high-frequency exposure to him was the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature.
It is not the first time that the Nobel Prize judges have taken the side of the sword, but this time it is really Haruki Murakami who is bitter to accompany the runner.
The United States of the 1960s was turbulent, tumultuous, and full of possibilities.
Bob Dylan's youth coincided with this period, and in that turbulent era, singers who were out of the times had a hard time becoming popular. So the civil rights and anti-war movements in the United States, as well as the counterculture movement dominated by the "Beats", all had a profound impact on Bob Dylan.
His subsequent works undoubtedly reflect this fact.
No matter how big the stage is, I want to keep a heart to play guitar on the road.
——Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix is considered the originator of other "radical rock" guitarists.
His melancholy and exciting unique style embodies a strong blues music sensibility.
Blues Guru B.B.King once said of Jimi Hendrix: "Jimi Hendrix has its own uniqueness. He was the great discoverer of 'Delta blues'. I guess it has nothing to do with where he was born. His music is very unique and creative, in its own right. He is the one who raises the wind and waves in the calm. ”
Among the 100 greatest guitarists in the world by Rolling Stone magazine in 2012, Jimi Hendrix took the top spot without any suspense.
No one felt he deserved the position, and Pete Townshend, guitarist for The Who, said he gave up the idea of becoming the world's greatest guitarist when he saw Jimi Hendrix playing on stage.
We're better than black music.
——The Stone Roses
In the late 1980s, British pop music entered a low ebb, and Manchester, which had created British New Wave music, also became depressed during this period. Just as British music was about to enter the 90s in a dreary mood, a band called "The Stone Roses" appeared.
In 1989, the publication of their first self-titled album, The Stone Roses, ushered in a new era of the British "Indie-Rock" phenomenon.
They also naturally became leaders in Manchester's indie rock scene, and the album was clearly musically influenced by the American folk rock band The Byrds in the '60s, as well as the Act House dance music that was just beginning to form a trend in the '80s.
They integrated guitar pop with "indie rock" and further stimulated the development of dance culture, which was given the title of "new psychedelic music" by the media.
Playing the guitar is very similar to using a sword, with both hands and with your heart.
--Budai Yintai
Intai Budai, a well-known rock guitarist, guest artist and soloist in the Japanese art world, whose popularity swept through the 80s and 90s, and even across the 21st century, this Japanese rock veteran is still one of the legends of the Japanese music industry, he has won high praise for Japanese music, and his records have sold more than 25 million copies.
