The format of "Let's Band Together" is really a fan... There were two hilarious episodes of the show's gang singing, and as a result, no one was eliminated, but the team with the highest scores won a so-called "tips" (it is estimated that it will be used to resurrect it later).
Then the four cooperative songs in the second period are not very brilliant, can only say that it is ok to watch, but the next grouping session has become the most talkable.
Because whether it is Chen Leyi's defection to the battlefield or Wang Bosi's dismal retirement, in fact, it has revealed a more flesh-and-blood side of the band culture.
Back in 1983, San Francisco was giving birth to a storm called "Riptide Metal", and the band called Metallica, which was about to become famous around the world, the members of the band were plotting to solve the biggest "trouble" in the band's way forward - lead guitarist Dave Mustaine.
So, taking advantage of David Ma's drunkenness, they threw the unconscious guitarist on a greyhound bus with his equipment and luggage, and by the time David Ma woke up, he was already on his way back to Los Angeles.
And this is also regarded as a great shame in life by David Ma, even if he later formed a legendary band with a worldwide reputation, Megadeth, one of the big four of torrent metal, but David Ma almost did not spend a day in his life without scolding Metalica.

It's hard for anyone who hasn't played a band to appreciate the feeling of being betrayed by their teammates, especially for the band brothers who have suffered together, rehearsing together day and night in the dark basement, from the tour with only three spectators offstage to the drunken fans surrounded by flesh and blood.
People who have been through all of this together, if they all stab you in the back, it will undoubtedly be the most painful thing.
This is also why most bands either don't tear up, and a tear is often a lifelong enemy, the kind that doesn't interact with each other.
But in fact, if you really want to do three cups and two cups with them, you will find that in fact, those band brothers who have struggled together are precisely the people who can't let go of their hearts.
Back in this episode of "Band Together", we are also the first time to get a glimpse of this aspect of band culture in this show.
For Chen Leyi, it is true that this former idol group member, you can hardly imagine that she will like the kind of music represented by Ma Wanwan (liquid oxygen can band percussionist, nicknamed "Double Color Freak" in the show) for a while, even if they have presented the flower band 'Punk Boy' on the previous stage.
So when Ma Wanwan was the captain, he wishfully gave Chen Leyi "amassed this team of people", but in the end when they used "punk" to summon Chen Leyi, the latter hesitated very really, and when he first chose, he walked to another door (Huh!). Woman).
It's really hard for people who haven't played in a band to appreciate the feeling of being "betrayed", it's not a matter of whether the game is won or not, or how the style adapts or not, but when months of coexistence, countless hard rehearsals, sweating and crying in the studio, and finally only a sad feeling of turning away.
So even if Ma Wanwan finally hugged Chen Leyi back (really literally "hug"), I think it will take a while for them to dissolve this knot.
Chen Leyi, who has been mixed in the idol group circle, probably has not experienced this side of the band culture before.
Wang Bosi's "being withdrawn" is a different situation.
Although Wang Bosi is a national instrumenter and a lute player, this does not mean that there is no place for him in any band, and I think the reason why no band is willing to accommodate him is mostly because he bragged in the fourth episode that his team was the only "band that did not use Program".
Of course, you could explain that it's normal for a folk musician not to know what Programm means; but this self-esteemed attitude has ruined his image in the minds of many musicians.
Not to mention that later he had a conflict with the lead singer Wang Er Dog because of his personality and other reasons.
Eder said directly to Wang Bosi, "I really can't accept you."
So the relationship between "band members" is actually a complex relationship mixed with friendship and brotherhood in many cases, and many times you may not be able to accurately analyze the so-called "tacit understanding" of some band members from a technical point of view, but in fact, after the music starts, you will find that they taste better together.
Why "Let's Band Together" has not been able to bring people the infectious power of the traditional "band", and the feeling that an old band like the hedgehog or the tour group in "The Summer of the Band" may bring is probably because the bond between these musicians is not enough to affect their music for the time being.
In any case, these two "accidents" in this issue may mean that the nine officially formed bands really have a little bit of traditional band sentiment, and I am curious to know that they can still retain a few points after the reality show is over.
