If Wong Ka Kui had not died young, would he have become another Michael Jackson?

Everything is possible

A tribute to a generation of classics, Wong Ka-Kui, who I admire most...

Hmm: If Wong Ka-Kui had not died young, he would have become another Michael Jackson's

Hi everyone, I'm a keyboard bug and I'm excited to answer this question.

First of all, my answer is no, definitely not! Ka Kui's music may be partially listened to in China, but the songs and the band are not that outstanding. You don't need to compare it with European and American music, just compare it with many recent Japanese bands of the same period, such as x-japan, Rainbow, etc. The Bi'an band is many times better, but we haven't been exposed to the outside world, so we think the domestic ones are the best. Of course, I also like Beyond, because my music studies were also influenced by Jia Kui. When one day you go out to play music, When you come back from the circle, you find that you are just a frog in the well. It’s not that I worship foreigners, but from an objective point of view, I found that the gap is too big. Our current music in China is far behind that of the outside world. Let alone the stupid words of the second Jackson. I suggest you listen to more outside music first. Music bar.

The above is my answer, I hope it can help you.

Even if he does not die young, he cannot become Michael Jackson. He is the top figure in the world and music industry! It's completely impossible to compare with others. Ka Kui is just a relatively creative singer in Hong Kong, they are far apart.

There is no comparison. No one can predict what has not happened. Michael Jackson is a king-level superstar. Personally, as a Chinese, I prefer Huang Jiaju.

Quite possible, she is only 31 years old. In addition to those born in the 70s and 80s, the song is now also loved by those born in the 90s and 00s, and even has many covers by foreign singers.

The possibility of non-English-speaking bands becoming international superstars is almost zero

When commenting on a musician or artist, one must use his or her works to speak for themselves. Don't use bad stories like masters and international superstars to set the pace. Beyond was not and will not be an international superstar.

The trolls who make random comments say that "you don't need to know about refrigeration to evaluate a refrigerator"... You have your freedom, but such irresponsible comments not only show your arrogance and ignorance, but the rest It's like a piece of worthless shit.

Beyond uses the "polyphony" technique in a large number of works: - that is, using melody to accompany the main melody...vocal harmony, guitar solo harmony, double guitar polyphony solo.

Mainland works, such as: CD version of "Dream" by Face Band, repeating the chorus at the end, vocal (double) + guitar solo.

Another example is the repetitive part of the chorus of Overdrive's "Perfect Summer", vocal + keyboard solo

But among a large number of works that use polyphony techniques and sound good, only Beyond is the only one. There are too many voices so I won’t give examples. Example:

"I should have gotten used to it" prelude solo. The interlude solo of "Footprints of the Past", the prelude solo of "Really Love You", and the chorus of "Dance of the Past" use an electric guitar solo to accentuate the vocals...

Let's briefly talk about some of beyond's wonderful arrangements. Song and solo

The interlude of "Lover" is 5613, the double guitar harmony is 1235, simple and melodious, Marshall+fender+fader+delay, the keyboard background of the ending, the vocal singing interspersed with the acoustic guitar, very exciting. In the various cover versions heard today, almost no one has made any changes to the interlude. 5613 5612 is just 8 notes.

"A Lonely Kiss" is a solo in a minor key with acoustic guitar harmony, and the strumming has a flamenco flavor, with legato, modulation, and extremely delicate. Arrangers are usually signed by "Beyond", but my personal guess is that it should be arranged by Ka Kui.

If it were someone else, why has there never been a similar work in the Chinese music scene for so many years?

"Amani" is considered a bad work. Are you going to listen to the soul-stirring solo in the interlude? Focus on the two sections where the sixteenth notes turn into the thirty-two-eighth legato legato. It’s not easy to play quickly, but it’s even harder to play finely and sweetly. Beyond has done this in many songs.

How many friends have played the outro of "Gray Tracks" on acoustic guitar and electric guitar one by one with their gay friends?

In the interlude and outro of "Footprints of the Past", the two guitars play loudly, but the melody still wins! There is no other similar creation in the country.

The bass solo in "Cold Rainy Night", I am embarrassed to say that I can play bass without ever practicing it. I came across the live version in 1991, and the bass was a long solo. If you can find a similar example at home or abroad, please recommend it to me, thank you.

"Endless Emptiness" is a song that was played in a mindless loop at the skating rink in the 1990s. The simple solo in the first four bars quickly plunges the whole song into an endless and empty lamentation. The interlude is also a wood-electric ensemble. , very exciting, very melodious, and well combined with technology. Some of the solos compiled by great artists are very technical and well-organized, but they tend to be more jazz fusion, and the melodies are hard to remember. For a good combination of technology and melody, see Michael Jackson's "Beat It"

Beyond's song framework is indeed simple, and there are many canon chords, but Jia Kui is good at making fine details and playing with the simple framework. Patterns, in addition to hard work, require more talent. Beyond's melody creation ability, rhythm ability, and overall music control ability are all very good.

Simple chords have never been a problem. Many great works only have 3-5 simple chords, such as Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses, Don’t Cry, Radiohead Creep and other classics... Great works with Canon chords are simply amazing. There are too many to count...

The interlude harmony in "Like You" is 1645. If most people play it, I would probably throw up. Jia Kui used the connection of chord tones and the portamento technique to syncopate the rhythm. A joke that I never tire of listening to. To be honest, I really don’t like this song... but this solo... you deserve it.

Beyond’s style can be said to be British or pop rock. Beyond is very good at these two points. There are also excellent bands in China such as Overload, Tang Dynasty and Black Panther, but many of them only contributed a few classics, or failed to follow up after two albums. From a creative perspective, Jia Kui is a genius.

There should be many types of music, with many different personalities, many different colors, many of my same emotions, and my own culture in it, because music is art! -- Wong Ka Kui

If measured in terms of commercial value, Mr. Van Gogh could be said to have had zero status during his lifetime. It is still his works that are praised by later generations. It’s not about status or status.

I never use commercial value as a criterion to measure the so-called status of a musician.

People who love music don’t care about who they are and what their status is. I can only be sure that he will bring us more wonderful works because he is a talented player. real.

Let’s talk about the hardware...

The very classic Marshall pre- and post-stage tubes + Fender guitars, as well as some peripherals, the quality cannot be said, after all, the first two almost laid the foundation for modern popularity The sound basis of music. (Gibson expressed dissatisfaction) Of course these are important. The record industry is also in a recession. In order to save money, everyone uses computer software for everything. The result is a plastic spicy chicken smell... Of course, many people have been listening to this computer software. It doesn't matter if it's music, it doesn't matter if his ears can't tell the difference.

Although I went to a conservatory, I still often fall asleep while listening to symphonies. It’s just that musical literacy differs from person to person. Too normal.

There is a huge possibility!
