Chapter 139 Rogue Habits

Sanderson later said in a documentary about rock and roll made by the BBC: [The hooliganism is like a branding iron branded on every member of the Planetary Band, and even became the soul of the entire band.Some of their provocative attitudes on stage that are very enjoyable to watch come from this. ]

He wasn't wrong.

Even if he becomes a singer, his nature is hard to change. James has never been able to forget the days when he was on the streets.

In fact, if he hadn't been playing rock and roll, he would probably have quit.

Go fuck angels!Don't want Lao Tzu to stand on the stage with compassion like a priest!

Fortunately, rock music is not the same as pop music.

Rock itself is a true attitude, a rhythm of power, and a carnival of life!

So, for a well-behaved, down-to-earth, no-personality band, go for a pretty boy group instead of rock.

Many times, when James steps onto the stage, he can keenly feel the sense of endless anticipation coming from all directions: "What can you bring us?"

And many times...

He is willing to respond to these expectations.

Can you understand?

There is an angry devil living in everyone's heart, but the devil is locked in the natural cage set by social rules.During the day, they have to bend their backs for money, force themselves to work hard to make a living, and bow to a group of idiots...

But when doing these things, there is also a Jimmy in their hearts!

This Jimmy doesn't have to weigh the pros and cons, he doesn't have to shrink back, he can say what he wants to say; he can swear quickly if he wants to swear; Just get drunk; want to pee in the enemy's wine glass without a minute's hesitation.

When people saw what this Jimmy had done in the newspapers, how many people smiled gloatingly under the superficial condemnation, and secretly cheered 'well done' in their hearts.

When appeared, how many teenagers regarded them as heroes.Because, they tell everyone openly: there is no shame in talking about love, and even less shame in talking about sex!

Some things will always resonate deep in people's hearts, but only rock and roll can.

Speak the unspeakable, utter the darkest incitements of sin.

So, James stepped up and showed everything naturally.Of course, it is impossible to say that he has been performing, no one can perform for that long.

But it’s possible to not hide your true nature.

—Jimmy, are you really a hooligan?

—My dear, it depends on you, do you want me to be?

It's that simple.

Give people what they need.

So, for James, people's perceptions are illusory, and he just needs to be himself.

Indulge in burning on the stage, sing for two hours, and never stop until you exhaust yourself!

As for Theo who left...

He wrote in his diary: "No matter what others think, my brother will always be in my heart, in my singing, in my everything..."

Perhaps, it is precisely because of his relentless and extraordinary performance...

For the rest of the tour, Planet remained one of the few popular bands that continued to sell tickets, even as the country was violently hit by the wave of grunge.

But their performances have not always been smooth sailing.

The biggest problem is probably that-James is no longer giving way to Lance easily.

The lead singer and guitarist are the closest partners, but being too close means that they need to deal with a lot of problems together.

In dealing with these issues, because of different personalities, concepts, and behavioral styles, it is difficult for James to reach an agreement with Lance. In the past, he was willing to let the sensitive and fragile little princess Lance...

But now, he found that he often gave in to the other party, which made this guy get used to it, and he made an inch of it and didn't take him seriously!

It may be because of the wrong idea that "Jimmy will give in in the end anyway", so Lance often acts arbitrarily, as in the case of Theo's dismissal before, without discussion or listening to opinions.

So what else?

In order to regain the right to speak, let's quarrel first!

The two started to quarrel in various ways, ranging from what to eat backstage to how to move on stage...

We have to quarrel first and then decide.

Although most of the quarrels between two people are not angry, they are more like bickering.

But the new bass player Sanderson was still debilitated by the daily swearing and bickering.

He and his teammates used to dislike the lead singer Doyle's mental illness from time to time, but now he finds that the lead singer Doyle is too gentle and harmless, and the bad teammates who used to be ugly are all kind little angels.

This made him couldn't help but pray every day: "God bless, let the adventure group reorganize quickly!"

At the same time, this year's British music scene is really a loss.

First, the replacement of the bass player of the Planetary Band; then, the lead singer of the Adventure Group became a cult, which caused the band to disband; then, Abe, the drummer of the Naughty Boys, fell off the moving stage and broke his leg; finally, even the dancing sculpture Such a model and good team, there have been waves of negative news about discord within the team.

It can be said that grunge is currently invincible, sweeping the entire UK even more irresistibly.

People can hear it on the street, in bars, clubs, and even the air is full of grunge.

Interestingly though...

James reacts differently when he notices Grunge than Lance feels threatened.

Unlike Lance's vigilance, he appreciates this wave of grunge, like a child who is excited when he encounters a new toy: "This is new music, I like it! Lance, we don't have to play the old ones all day long. It’s an old-fashioned thing, you can try to integrate it into it, and come out with something new to play with!”

Obviously, in his opinion, only the continuous emergence of new elements can promote the progress of music.

But Lance doesn't like grunge at all: "I'm not interested in imitating other people."

He lowered his head and smoked, and said unhappily: "We just need to be ourselves."

But James didn't give up.

After listening to Nirvana for a while, he wanted to do something similar.

This pissed Lance off.

Because in the eyes of the brunette guitarist, that's competition.Moreover, in the situation where grunge is flooding the country, running to imitate, acting like a third-rate band following the crowd, this is something he can't stand because of his arrogant nature.

This almost caused the two of them to have a complete quarrel.

Fortunately, Stuart's arrival interrupted them.

Under the appreciative gaze of new bassist Sanderson...

Stuart replied with a friendly smile without knowing anything, but he couldn't help thinking: "Sure enough, it's from the Adventure Group band. The lead singer Doyle believes in a cult. Why does the bass player look like a god?"

Then, he re-explained his intentions with James and the others, and invited the Planetary Band to participate in a concert about the album "Beautiful England" held by Dancing Sculpture.
