Exaggeration is useless, it is better to "de-deify"

Frankly speaking, I don’t like to watch documentaries. Especially this kind of documentary filming without much documentary. Three guitarists sitting in a studio chatting together, it’s not attractive to people who are not interested in music. Powerful. Regardless of the achievement status of the three people, from the perspective of the movie, such random arrangement and arrangement, interspersed with sporadic flashbacks and interviews during the chat, there is no plot or story for me. It seems so tired. I didn’t even have the patience to read it all at once. Only when Jack White talked about his childhood and hometown, he looked back carefully a few times. I am interested in a growth in the 1980s Detroit little white boy, learned how to influence the music of Blues in place a flood of black culture)

each time the camera front desk people chorus, the stage Enchanting guitarists, guitar hands Flying up and down, I found it unexpectedly, this touches me too much now. Stairways to heaven also only made me turn up the volume a bit. For 5 years ago, I was not moved in front of the screen*&^$ % Is strange,

but I am very happy to finish watching Anvil's pseudo-documentary, and save it (I have the habit of deleting the movie after watching it, and almost never watching it again), not because the story of Anvil is better than the 3 of them Better and more exciting, but their stories in the film are so ordinary. So ordinary that you will think of yourself or the person you are familiar with when you look at them. The ups and downs in life, the quarrels between friends, for a goal Collaboration, what happens every day, everyone will experience the story, borrowed the Anvil band, borrowed the shell of metal music.


The irony is that whenever so many people praise the freedom, ideals and beautiful world expressed in music (in fact, many people rarely consume CDs and other publications!), do you find yourself so ordinary, Resigned and re-employed, love is divided and reconciled, house prices are still unattainable, stocks are still unclear, the world is still not so peaceful, and then I find that only my mother cooks a meal by herself, drinks bragging with friends, and takes a shower at home Sleeping comfortably is the most connected and kind. For the same reason, I don’t like [Pirate Radio] very much, but I like Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock very much.

But it doesn’t mean that your edges and corners can be smoothed, and it’s not like you. I don’t have the right to have a dream without pursuing it. It’s just that sometimes I look at it in a different mindset. It may be less burden and more relaxed and fun to remove the halo around the idol. For example, when I am still jumping, I will never give up. In front of the stage where Slayer performed in the past month, fight for a life and death opportunity.

No matter how powerful guitar heroes are off the stage, there are also wives and children hot on the head (inexplicably thinking of Varg). What you can do in another place is as good as they are.


In short: the purpose of music and the only purpose is to bring happiness to people. And exaggeration and mythology in addition to make people lose some of their thinking and sobriety , Can never give everyone an extra point. If one day you feel tired, leave him. That is it. And don’t worry, doesn’t rock music call for fraternity and freedom? He will definitely not blame you.


PS: I saw someone complaining about the Chinese translation of the name. In fact, I personally think the game is much more fun than this one.
