Chapter 154 External Contradictions

Baldwin is a very opinionated man.

Although he doesn't like to talk about things, but as long as he wants to do one thing, he will definitely do it, and he has super powers of action.

Therefore, even though he had a fight with James, he still did not waver, and issued a statement to everyone according to the original plan, insisting on quitting the planetary band.

It happened so suddenly.

And, without warning.

Except for James, who was furious and couldn't accept the reality so far, even the bass player Sanderson, who joined halfway, couldn't help asking in confusion: "Brother, we are developing at the right time. Do you have to leave now?"

Baldwin couldn't help but glanced at him. There might be some things that he couldn't say to a good brother, but he was better able to say it to someone he didn't know well.

So, he sighed and said: "I chose to run away from home for my music dream when I was more than ten years old, although I never regretted it. But for more than 20 years, I have been on the road every day, traveling for music. Now, I When you’re almost 30 years old, you should always do something else.”

That's right.

Sanderson immediately showed understanding.

Afterwards, when they learned of Baldwin's words, more staff had no choice but to choose blessings when dissuasion was ineffective.

But James refused to forgive Baldwin.

He didn't accept the news, stuck his head into the soil like an ostrich, and hid in the bedroom, pretending it was nothing.

Lance was also upset.

But he was thinking about the future development of the band. For this reason, he could not help complaining: "We used to compare the band to a ship. If the ship is about to sink, it is understandable for everyone to go their separate ways. After all, by that time , all the rats on the ship will flee in all directions. But now, our big ship is great, and it’s about to go on a long voyage, so what’s the point of leaving at this time?”

Baldwin ignored Lance at all.

But on the day when he officially left the team, he still ran to knock on the door of his lead singer's bedroom: "Jimmy, Jimmy?"

James was silent inside.

Baldwin continued to knock on the door: "Jimmy, Jimmy, won't you come out and say goodbye to me?"

"Get out!" James yelled.

Then he started yelling through the door.

Baldwin usually doesn't like to talk too much, but he also has a temper, and he is definitely not the kind of person who stands there obediently and is scolded.Upon hearing James' foul language, he immediately turned around and left without hesitation.

Even later, when he recalled this incident, he was very angry and said: "If I didn't know that little bastard's dog temper, I would really fucking want to kick the door in and wash his mouth with disinfectant!"

So, when James opened the door after scolding happily...

There was no one outside the door!

Baldwin walked in an incomparably chic manner, simply and neatly.

But when the band's status rose and achieved great commercial success, the sudden withdrawal of the drummer is obviously very surprising.

For a while there were different opinions.

The media is even more curious about the reasons for this.

So, after Baldwin left, a group of reporters swarmed here, trying to dig out the real reason for Baldwin's departure. Is it the discord within the team?Or a money dispute?Or is there any more bizarre news?

It's getting a little big.

But when Abel suggested whether to hold a special press conference to explain, Lance did not agree.

The more down-to-earth guitarist didn't want to expose all the band's internal problems to the flashlight, just wanted to quickly find a drummer to replace Baldwin and maintain the band's rising status.

So, in the absence of news...

The paparazzi reporters had no choice but to do everything possible and seize any opportunity to interview the remaining members of the planet, trying to find the real reason why Baldwin left the team through clues.

Among them, bassist Sanderson's answer is a well-known reason: "Maybe I want to return to my family. Baldwin himself said that he has been focusing on music for many years, and it's time to go home."

Then, guitarist Lance replied upsetly: "Leaving the team? I don't know. Maybe it's what Sanderson said. He has been having trouble with his wife a while ago, emotional problems. What's more, he and Jimmy lost the fight..."

The last reason, God knows what he thought at the time, may just be a passing word, or it may be a habit of throwing the pot away casually, or it may be that Baldwin, who has always been the most stable in the band, left, making him dizzy.

In short, when the tabloid newspapers began to appear with the headline "violent lead singer beats away drummer", James was completely dumbfounded.

He immediately fought back angrily: "Damn! What do you mean you lost a fight with me? Fuck! Do you really think you have a good temper? I think Baldwin just couldn't stand you bastard before leaving."

So, following the departure of the band's drummer...

The guitarist and lead singer blamed each other, and accused each other of abuse, which also made the headlines of the newspapers.

For a time, rumors about the 'Planet band's disbandment' were rampant.

Lance was very angry and accused James, saying: "Are you a cane maker? I said something wrong for a while, if you don't say it, go help cover it up, and add fuel to the fire!"

James didn't suffer at all: "Fuck! You just said 'wrong words' to let things go? But do I deserve to be called a violent madman?"

Lance plausibly said: "Aren't you violent? Didn't you fight with Baldwin? Am I wrong?"

James laughed angrily.

He didn't refute at all, and directly squeezed his fists and said brutally: "Okay! I'm violent! I still fucking want to beat the guitarist away, do you want to try?"

Lance:  …

He pursed his lips, and changed the subject sensibly: "Now the news about our disbandment is rumored outside every day, what do you think should be done?"

James continued to sneer: "Whatever you like to say, other people's mouths, it's none of my business!"

Lance was pissed off by him.

But such quarrels happen frequently...

Once, in the recording studio, two people quarreled again over the issue of recording.

James felt that the recorded vocal part was perfect enough that there was no need to re-record it.

But Ke Lance insisted that he sing it a few more times and choose the best version.

"It's not necessary at all, the first time is the best time."

"You haven't sung yet, how do you know it won't be better next time?"

"I just fucking know."

"Shut up and listen to me!"

Bassist Sanderson sat in the corner with a sad face, smoking a cigarette with the sound engineer: "When the hell is this boss!"

The sound engineer who has worked with the Planetary Band for many years said: "Hey, don't think about it. No boss, the day I came here, they were so noisy, why don't you go and persuade them?"

Bassist Sanderson looked at the two of them, a little timidly: "Forget it, forget it, wait a little longer."

So, he and the sound engineer had to sigh at each other.

Sanderson was under tremendous mental pressure during that time.

On the one hand, the drummer is gone. On the other hand, after the drummer Baldwin who mediates the conflict between the two is gone, the lead singer and guitarist quarrel every day. When they get angry, they start to throw things at each other.

This makes him always have the illusion of 'as soon as I wake up, this broken band will disband'.

Although it's not uncommon for a band to break up or something.But the problem is, he just recovered from the disbandment of the adventure group not long ago. If the band he just joined disbands again... that would be continuous unemployment and drive people crazy.

Fortunately, after James and Lance had been arguing for a while, they couldn't stop arguing.

Because they both realize that if they continue to be so noisy, Baldwin will not come back, and the band is taking date pills.

So, the two started a cold war again.

At this time, after more than a year of silence, Stewart made a comeback with the dancing sculpture band.

After the album "Beautiful England", their second new album "Our City" learned the lessons of the last failure, no longer set the theme big and empty, but focused on the details of real life, telling every aspect of city life.Among them, there is also the environmental protection issue that Stewart is most concerned about and is also best at.

Although in the eyes of some music critics, many songs on this album have some obvious extreme anti-American sentiments, among which "repeatedly and constantly criticize everything in the United States, and repeatedly emphasize that Britain is the best", It seems that a little too much force has made the music have a certain narrow nationalistic concept.

But I have to say, this is indeed a good album for people to listen to repeatedly.

At the same time, another band has sprung up.

The Clown Band also released an influential album, which fits the band's style quite well, called , and their album also uses the image of a clown as the cover.

It is completely different from the planetary band that is used to touching people with emotion, and the dancing sculpture band that cares about the country and the people.

The Clown Band describes some marginalized people in the album, such as people with IQ problems, drunks on the street, disabled beggars, etc. Through these various people, they use humorous and funny performances to interpret the tragedy of life , ingenious and unique.

Although the three bands also wrote about the British theme.

But after listening to the songs of the planets, people will want to work harder to live, because hope will last forever; after listening to the songs of dancing sculptures, people will be aroused to love their motherland and recall how beautiful the country they lived in since childhood;

After listening to the songs of the Clown Band, people first laughed, and then realized that the once glorious empire on which the sun never sets is now declining step by step. Under the glamorous appearance, there are already so many people. Shadows, and countless and unsolvable social problems...

It can be said that whether it is the clown band or the dancing sculpture band, they are all powerful and aggressively catching up.

When the Planetary Band was still feuding, the British music scene gradually developed into a three-nation rivalry.

And, besides these three bands, there are many other bands who are also ambitiously trying to attack their status.

In such a dangerous situation, Lance did not give James any time to miss Baldwin...

He said, "Help me, Jimmy! The band can't stop here."
