Chapter 48

Stimulated by Lu Chen's drums, Lin Zai Shan was filled with immense enthusiasm! As soon as he stepped on stage, he performed a beautiful double-note string bend. The electric guitar's sound instantly soared from the mid-low range to the highest pitch, like a grand entrance in Peking Opera, with a sharp, resonant sound that pushed everyone's excitement to the peak!

Already roused by Lu Chen's drum beats, Lin Zai Shan's electrifying guitar sound further intensified the crowd's excitement. Many people felt their stomachs tighten, and their emotions exploded! They were at the height of excitement!

The electric guitar is the hallmark of rock music, the true soul of melody!

After the double-note string bend, Lin Zai Shan slightly bent his right leg, lifted his right hip, and used it to support the guitar. He looked down at the strings with intense focus, his hands moving like butterflies among flowers, plucking, strumming, and sliding the strings in an uncontrolled manner, accompanied by vibrato. In one breath, he played a high-difficulty guitar solo lasting over two minutes. The stimulating melody was like a high-performance sports car speeding down a highway, the instant impact even more exhilarating than Lu Chen's drum beats!

Lu Chen, sitting behind the drum kit, was almost overwhelmed by the excitement! Lin Zai Shan's guitar skills were even better than he remembered! This guy clearly hadn't given up on music; he had only improved over the years! This was too awesome!

As Lin Zai Shan's guitar rhythm slowed down, Lu Chen, thoroughly thrilled, joined in the performance. With heavy drum beats, he played an eight-beat rhythm, creating the most thrilling interplay of strings and drums with Lin Zai Shan!

Hearing Lu Chen's mountain-like drum beats, Lin Zai Shan felt a surge of pleasure!

He turned to look at Lu Chen, as if challenging him, and wrapped his electric guitar around Lu Chen's drum beats, like an electric snake coiling around a fierce tiger. The two instruments clashed, releasing a wild and powerful force!

The guitar sounded like lightning and thunder, the drums like a mountain flood!

With just these two instruments, they turned the café upside down!

Who were these two uncles?

Many people had this question in their minds!

Judging by their appearance, these two uncles, one fat and one thin, from their toes to their heads, didn't look like they played rock music. But once they stepped on stage and picked up their instruments, they could unleash such astonishing power, which was truly amazing!

Yu Xinran was so stimulated by Lin Zai Shan's guitar that she got goosebumps. This white-haired uncle played the guitar with such style! From his demeanor, he was clearly a seasoned rock veteran! Could he be one of those legendary underground masters?

Shen Tailong felt a surge of heat in his heart, but a chill ran down the back of his neck. Who were these two guys they were up against today? How could they be so good?

The white-haired uncle looked reserved, but the music he produced was so bold and unrestrained, even more intense and trendy than young people!

He had to admit, this uncle's guitar skills were incredible! The older they get, the spicier they become!

Many people were so stimulated that they raised their hands, cheering and moving to the rhythm. The atmosphere in the café reached its peak!

Even a reserved girl like Lu Shishi, deep down, had her passion ignited. If she hadn't been holding Bepa, she would have cheered for these two amazing uncles.

Bepa, in her arms, was terrified. When Lu Chen's drum beats shook the sky, Bepa wanted to bury her little head under Lin Zai Shan's armpit, her tiny heart almost bursting.

She really couldn't stand this kind of music.

Now, with the addition of Lin Zai Shan's even more stimulating electric guitar, Bepa was almost driven mad. She buried her little head in Lu Shishi's soft chest, fearing that this terrifying music would shake her to death.

Lu Shishi, knowing Bepa's nature, lovingly covered Bepa's ears to protect her. Her own ears, however, were wide open, fully absorbing the stimulation, joy, and pleasure of the rock music.

Deep down, this elegant Ms. Lu was a girl with a rebellious spirit against aristocratic etiquette, which aligned with the spirit of rock music.

Hao Yuan, standing next to her, was even more rebellious, as evident from her androgynous style.

Listening to such an exhilarating rhythm and music, Hao Yuan put aside her earlier gloom and was completely immersed in the wild music created by Lin Zai Shan and Lu Chen. She was so excited that she was clenching her fists and tapping her feet, her body moving in perfect sync with their music.

Feeling Hao Yuan's excitement, Lu Shishi secretly smiled.

After a pleasant interaction with Lu Chen, Lin Zai Shan nodded to the beat of four, using body language and a slower guitar rhythm to signal Lu Chen: give him a four-beat drum roll.

Understanding, Lu Chen matched his drum beats to Lin Zai Shan's guitar and asked expectantly, "‘The Storm’?" He thought Lin Zai Shan was going to sing their old song, "The Storm."

"No, a new song."

"Awesome!"

Lu Chen enthusiastically burst into a drum roll!

Turning around, with his back to Lu Chen and facing the dozens of excited audience members surrounding the stage, Lin Zai Shan angrily strummed his guitar and glanced at the annoying pink tank top.

"‘Don’t Bother Me.’”

Without any unnecessary words, he announced the song title with a deep, steady voice.

This was both the song title and a message to certain annoying people.

Lu Chen's drumsticks hit even harder, as if ready for a fight! This was because he heard Lin Zai Shan's guitar rhythm become even more intense.

Although they hadn't practiced together, Lu Chen's drumming skills were enough to provide the appropriate rhythm for the guitarist. He could even use the drums to emphasize the attitude the song wanted to convey.

"‘Don’t Bother Me!’"

At the climax, fueled by alcohol, Lu Chen imitated Lin Zai Shan's shout.

The audience was completely hyped up, cheering and waving their arms.

The guitar suddenly changed its tune, and Lin Zai Shan, with his weathered but powerful classic metal voice, began to sing!

He was singing the early classic "Don’t Bother Me" by the Black Panther Band!

...

I don’t want to say anything more to you~!

I am angry now~!

You have been completely drowned by your hypocrisy~!

You have turned into a hateful color~!

...

Do your job better than others~!

Make your attitude more acceptable~!

We are equal, you and I~!

...

With the angry singing style of the golden age of rock, the entire audience's hearts were instantly shaken! It was as if they had been thrown into a boiling hot pot, completely boiling over!

Even Sun Yuzhen was boiling over!

She had never heard Lin Zai Shan sing with such a style!

How to put it—this was simply too cool!

The moment Lin Zai Shan started singing, many people felt as if they had been transported back 20 years, to the golden age of rock!

Even those who hadn't experienced that era, if they had listened to the music of that time, would have a profound emotional impact!

Such a voice, in another dimension, would be like Dou Wei, the god of rock, returning to the world!

The Tang Dynasty reborn!

He Yong resurrected!

Zhang Chu unleashed!

The Chinese rock force stormed the Red磡Kun again!

Anyone with a love for rock music would be filled with excitement!

Such a style and presence were not something the younger generation of rockers could emulate!

This was the aura forged by the times and circumstances!

Once it passed, it was hard to return.

The golden age of rock in this dimension was even more glorious than in the other dimension. Although the political systems were different, the outcomes were the same: rebellion would still rebel, oppression would still oppress.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

The highly rebellious spirit of rock music would inevitably be at the forefront of such a trend.

It turned out that the uncle had been shaped by the golden age of rock, passing on rare rock qualities to Lin Zai Shan.

Picking up the electric guitar, Lin Zai Shan immediately felt a surge of excitement, as if the spirit of the uncle had returned.

Especially when singing songs like "Don’t Bother Me," which contained elements of anger, the rebellious genes in the uncle's body became particularly active. Most of his current style was inherited from the uncle.

"‘Don’t Bother Me’" is one of the early classics of the Black Panther Band. If fans were to choose the top three early classics, the first two would definitely be "No Place to Hide" and "Don’t Break My Heart," and the third would be "Don’t Bother Me."

Some say the song was written for a salesperson who angered Dou Wei, while others say it was for an impolite foreigner on a bus.

But considering the changes in China in the early 1990s and the complex international environment, the song has been interpreted with more hidden meanings.

Regardless of who it was written for, the song is filled with Dou Wei's anger!

At this moment, Lin Zai Shan was channeling that anger, singing it to the pink tank top, making her understand what true rock music with style is!

...

Do you have to be so rude when you speak~!

What kind of rule is this~!

Maybe you should learn some manners~!

Don’t make people condemn you~!

...

Do your job better than others~!

Make your attitude more acceptable~!

We are equal, you and I~!

...

Don’t bother me~!

Don’t make me sad~!

This is the new China~!

I don’t want to say more~!

...

Lin Zai Shan's weathered metal voice was truly irresistible!

Originally, Lin Zai Shan could have changed the lyrics to make them more fitting for this world and more directly address the annoying qualities of the pink tank top.

But he didn't do that.

He didn't want to alter a single word of this classic rock song, infringing on the original author's wisdom.

Especially for an annoying pink tank top, that would be too low.

He was singing to vent his emotions and pay homage to the classics!

As for how much the pink tank top would understand, it didn't matter. As long as everyone was having a good time, that was enough.

Yu Xinran, of course, knew that Lin Zai Shan was singing this song to criticize her. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, but she was genuinely excited!

For someone deeply passionate about rock music, such a golden-era style rock song was like a potent drug that could instantly intoxicate!

Even a small taste could be fatal, let alone such a violent impact!

It was as if Lin Zai Shan's voice had stabbed her repeatedly, making her incredibly excited, but she didn't dare show it, for fear of embarrassing herself.

Even with a thick skin, being stabbed and cheering would be too much for her to handle.

But her body was secretly swaying and trembling to the rhythm.

Shen Tailong had been a bit dismissive when Lu Chen said they would show them the rock music of the golden age.

But now, hearing Lin Zai Shan sing "Don’t Bother Me," Shen Tailong was completely stunned!

This was truly the rock music of the golden age!

Who were these two guys?
