Classics can't be copied, and then listen to the Hung Hom rock concert 30 years ago
It's been 30 years, and time has always changed imperceptibly. 1994, for Chinese rock, is worth revisiting.
In this year, several buddies in the rock industry staged a rock concert, which was the Hung Hom Chinese rock music force concert that was repeatedly mentioned by the majority of rock fans. Thirty years later, when we watched the rock concert again, it never felt strange, as if it had happened yesterday.
Dou Wei, Zhang Chu, ** and the Tang Dynasty Band brought a rock feast, which may be the most classic and enjoyable rock concert in the history of Chinese rock, which can be said to be the highlight moment of Chinese rock.
But this rock concert is also the starting timeline of Chinese rock downturn. I have to say that since then, the state of Chinese rock has been declining, and it is difficult to regain the grandeur of the year. Even so, this concert 30 years ago still leaves an indelible mark in the hearts of rock fans, because it is really difficult to surpass.
When I listened to this concert again, it was still so shocking and profound. When I first came into contact with rock, I was attracted by the elements that are different from the feelings, rock and roll does not need too many external things, it can vent ideas in the most direct way, because it can say the emotions and thoughts that you want to express but don't know how to express.
Back then, rock was once very popular, but this situation did not last long, after the concert in 94, rock did not take advantage of the heat, on the contrary, rock became more and more sluggish year by year, from the public to the niche, rock slowly withdrew from the mainstream vision. Several of the protagonists of the concert that year had different circumstances after that, and it seems that their appearance was just to perform as hard as possible before saying goodbye, leaving a deep memory for rock fans.
Although this concert took place 30 years ago, its significance is far-reaching, not only showing the essence of Chinese rock, but also bringing food for thought. Because classics can never be copied, in this concert, it is explained what is the spirit of rock and roll, in fact, in short, rock is not so complicated, and direct expression is the essence of rock and roll.
True rock is one that has stood the test of time, like many of the songs in this concert, which still do not fade out of fashion to this day. Many music fans, especially old rock fans, are talking about this concert because the rock after this has no original taste, and it is much inferior.
If 1994 is taken as the dividing line, then the previous rock era is undoubtedly the first era, and then rock and roll has entered the sunset period, and there are no more rock singers and rock bands who can do it, and there are even fewer classic rock works. On the other hand, the concert was a watershed moment when rock 'n' roll became less rock'n'roll.
Although rock bands and rock songs have not disappeared in the past 30 years, and some bands have returned to the mainstream with variety shows, this seemingly lively atmosphere cannot be compared with the atmosphere 30 years ago. The rock vibe of 30 years ago did not need to be artificially hyped, let alone hyped and marketed, but in recent years, the rock vibe has become more pompous and fancy.
If the rock atmosphere of 30 years ago was more important than the content, then the rock atmosphere of 30 years later is more and more important to appearance and form, and some so-called rock bands that became popular overnight are to a large extent beneficial to the spread of the Internet and topics, in terms of works, it is obviously incomparable with those rock works of 30 years ago.
This is the gap in creativity, and when we listen to the songs of this concert 30 years ago, we will inevitably hear another feeling, which is completely different from what we heard many years ago, and perhaps this is the effect that rock music cannot carry today.
In short, rock and roll 30 years ago focused on the core and spirit, and rock in recent years has focused on traffic and topics.
