It has to be said that Dick is a person who is very good at dealing with people. After a few glasses of wine, Dick has completely integrated into this small circle and started hooking up with Johnson, the Young brothers, Williams, Luther and others.
As they put their arms around each other, Dick didn't say anything else. He just talked about each other's proud works, wine and women, which was enough to make these old men who were not young but still full of energy feel that he
It's a good person to talk to.
"It's been a long time since I heard about you holding a concert... It's really a pity. When I started listening to your songs, you didn't hold many concerts anymore. This is really a pity for me.
Ah." Dick said to Johnson drunkenly.
Johnson took off the ancient peaked cap on his head, then touched his thick curly hair and sighed: "Di, do you think we don't want to have a concert? But listen to my voice now, it's already
It’s not as good as before! I can’t roar even if I want to! Age is really a scary thing... I used to hold concerts and sing for four hours without feeling any hoarseness in my voice, but now I can’t even sing a shoottothrill.
I can’t stop shouting!”
Dick shrugged his shoulders. He knew that Johnson's words were true. Later, he also saw a live rock concert by AC/DC in the 21st century. Johnson's voice was indeed broken, and he almost shouted at the top of his lungs.
After finishing the famous shoottothrill, however...
"Actually... as long as you hold a rock concert on stage and sing your classic songs again, the audience will also go crazy! They don't care how you sing, what they care about is seeing you
Appear on the stage again! As long as you look crazy, then they will become crazy! I don't believe that the fans who like your songs are idiots who want to come to the concert to pursue the sound like before... The true meaning of the concert is
What? They are hearing the guys they admire and like singing and dancing live! If they just want to hear better singing, then they might as well hide at home and listen to CDs! Instead of coming to the venue to listen to your performance!"
Dick's words stunned Johnson and the others: "Di, are you kidding me? Is there anyone willing to pay to watch five old guys who can no longer sing and embarrass themselves on the stage?"
Not only Johnson, but the Young brothers and others also looked at Dick curiously. They didn't quite understand what Dick said.
"They go to see those young singers who are popular now, and they go there to appreciate them. But if you hold a concert, what kind of fans will come?" Dick lit up a cigarette and said with a smile.
.
Johnson also lit a cigarette and muttered: "It should be those fans who were crazy about us ten years ago."
"That's right, that's right!" Dick snapped his fingers and said cheerfully: "Do you think fans like that would care about how you sing? They must be people who have listened to your CDs by heart! They
Coming to the scene is not just to listen to the reproduction of the original sound, but also to find a memory of my own. This memory represents their youth and their silly youth! You know, just because you appear on the stage
It's enough to make all your fans excited! What they care about is not how you sing, but how you appear on the stage!"
Johnson and others looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
Dick's next words strengthened their confidence: "Think about John Lennon's fans, think about Elvis Presley's fans, think about Freddy Mercury's (Queen's lead singer) fans... I think, if
I am their fan. If they are still alive now, even if they are old, even if they can no longer speak... As long as they hold a concert, I will catch up with them even if they are in the ends of the world.
I’m here for nothing else but to see with my own eyes the idols of my youth come alive in the stands!”
Speaking of this, Dick silently muttered a name in his heart - Huang Jiaju...
"Di, you are right!" Johnson patted Dick on the shoulder excitedly: "That's it! Although we are old, in the whole of Australia... our appeal is still top-notch!"
"Haha, yes, I think we have to find a way to hold a concert... Brian, can you still hold on to singing for four hours? I think that if I play guitar for four hours, that's a little
No problem!" Malcolm Young laughed and said to Johnson.
"Even if my voice is hoarse, I will finish singing for four hours!" Johnson said with high spirits, as if he was ten years younger.
It's not that they are short of money and rely on such a concert to make money. In fact, their CD sales have always been very good. Even if they do nothing else, it will be enough for them to live an extremely generous life.
They have gained incomparable material enjoyment, but for people like them who were once so prosperous, the current silence is absolutely intolerable!
If fans go to their current concerts to retrieve their past memories, then this concert they hold will also be a way to retrieve their memories!
Dick, who gave them such a good idea, became their good friend. In the following time, a young man in his early twenties and five uncles in their forties and fifties exchanged drinks together.
After drinking till they were happy, the five of them took Dick directly to the bar. After giving the bar owner a tip, the ac/dc band, which was once famous throughout Australia, started
Get your own praise!
The Young brothers have not let go of their guitar skills at all. Bassist Williams and percussionist Luther also maintained their top level. Amidst the exciting music, Johnson's voice rang out beside the dance floor.
They still sang the same song "shoottothrill" - the lyrics of this song are not very high-class, but the bar itself is not a high-class place. This kind of exciting and slightly excessive song actually inspired everyone present.
Even though Johnson's voice obviously couldn't get louder, forcing it to be louder only made his voice hoarse, but as he sang, the entire dance floor began to fall into an extremely crazy rhythm!
"Come to me! Give me your hand! Because I am the man who can make you burn! I will take you down to the abyss of happiness!"
Johnson, who was swaying his belly and singing, looked very funny at this time. However, driven by the music, this old man who was about to enter the aging period began to show a kind of charm, a kind of charm that everyone could do for him.
The crazy charm - Dick watched Johnson's energetic performance and couldn't help but feel the excitement...
"Hey Dee!"
During the break of the music, Johnson threw a microphone towards Dick. After seeing Dick catch it, he began to wave to Dick, motioning for him to come over and sing with him...
After a slight hesitation, Dick was not polite. He was not a polite person, and he had a good voice. After getting on the stage, Dick immediately picked up the microphone and started singing.
"Fire passion, I love it! I found it deep inside you! It's like a bullet ready to go out! Because I like to break the rules, I'm ready!"
While roaring loudly, Dick's mood gradually became agitated, and he kept waving his fists - the lyrics of this song express his feelings very well - he is a
A head coach who likes to break the rules! Always ready to meet all emergencies! This kind of life is very exciting! Very good! I like it very much!
Many women on the dance floor began to twist their waists crazily, showing off their beautiful figures. Sweat continued to pour out, making the atmosphere on the dance floor even more heated. They might usually be well-dressed white-collar workers, or they might be...
Strong women who work as hard as men in the workplace have thrown away all masks at this moment, and are enjoying the passionate moment to the fullest!
"Your ability to mobilize emotions on-site is the best!"
Dick gave Johnson a thumbs up, and Johnson smiled proudly.
Dick didn't know how much alcohol he drank that night. He only knew that he lost his intuition next, and when he woke up, he was in a strange room...
The sunlight shone in from the window, making people feel lazy. Dick squinted and sat up, then subconsciously looked at the bedside - he had been hungover more than once during this period, and several times when he woke up
I found a strange woman lying next to me—fortunately, nothing like this happened this time.
Dick got up from the bed in a daze, then opened the door and walked out - this was a very large mansion, as can be seen from the various furnishings. It took Dick a long time to find the living room.
At that time, I saw five old guys talking and laughing in the living room...
"Ah, Brian, Malcolm, Angus, Cliff, Phil, hello." Dick raised his hand to greet the five old guys. It seemed that he drank too much yesterday, and then
It was brought back by these old guys - this must be the home of one of them, after all, these guys are very rich.
"It's great to be young, we don't dare to be hungover like him now..." Johnson said to his friends with a smile, while the other four nodded repeatedly, looking at Dick with a hint of envy -
—They must have thought of their own youth, right? They could drink whatever they wanted without any scruples, regardless of whether they would end up drunk on the street or wake up in a stranger's house...
"Thank you for bringing me back." Dick wiped his face and said to them with a smile.
"Well, if you don't blame us for terminating your love affair." Malcolm Young, the old guy who has lost all his hair in the center of his head but left a ring of long hair around it, laughed strangely.
Then he said to Dick: "Yesterday after you got drunk, a beautiful woman wanted to take you back, but we drove her away..."
"Hey, hey, Malcolm, it's not right to do this... It's a gift from God to have a beautiful woman fall in love with me! How can it be wasted like this?" Dick shouted loudly.
Of course he was joking. After Phil Rudd brought some food, Dick stopped criticizing Yang and began to prepare to fill his stomach.
After he had almost finished eating, he suddenly heard Malcolm Young say to him: "Di, we have discussed it. How about inviting you to be a guest at our concert?"
Dick immediately spat out his sandwich with a mouthful.
