5 people are not very talented.
Axin I liked singing when I was a child, but I didn’t have a good talent.
(Look at Chen Xinhong)
He said that when he was in elementary school, he wanted to join the chorus, but after singing only two notes, he was wiped out by the teacher.
"You can't do it!"
A Xin's homework was not very good either. Fortunately, his painting skills were pretty good, and he successfully entered Taipei Normal University Affiliated High School. After entering the Normal University for
, Ashin met the guitar club with the monster (Wen Shangyi).
Monster is also an interesting and strong person. He will do the best of what he likes.
He likes to play guitar, so he will find some difficult scores to practice. Not long after, the monster became the master of the guitar club.
Later, Ashin and Monster became presidents and vice presidents. Under the outstanding leadership of the two, the Guitar Club of Taiwan University became the most awesome club in the Affiliated High School of Normal University.
When they were in their second year of high school, the club recruited two new high school students.
One is called Shi Jinhang ( Shi Tou ), and the other is called Cai Shengyan ( Martha ).
Shitou likes to fight, and Martha is a person with no ambitious goals.
"You can do anything when you grow up, I won't force it."
Ashin, Monster, Stone, Martha, and met in the guitar club of the Affiliated High School of Normal University.

1995, the monster was admitted to the Department of Social Sciences of Taiwan University and missed the law department he had always missed.
In 1996, Ashin was admitted to a practical university and studied interior design.
Although the two left the club, they still couldn't put down the music, so they went to find stones, monsters, and Qian Youda again.
created a band called So Band,
”SO Band” is the pronunciation of the Minnan language “Bushi” in reverse. Because at that time, underground bands were spread all over Taiwan like a wall.
Later, because the male lead singer and female keyboard player had no interest in music, he left the band, which resulted in the So Band missing the lead singer.

But how can a band do without a lead singer?
Ashin is on.
The other four people said he "You play the worst guitar, the worst bass, and the worst drum beats, so you can only be the lead singer."
So Ashin became the second guitarist of Mayday, Monster became the first guitarist, Stone became the second guitarist, Martha became the bassist, and Qian Youda became the drummer.

Their band journey was not smooth either.
can't afford to rent a training ground, so they went to the monster's seven-square-meter bedroom to practice.
is afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so he bought a lot of hollow bricks and sound-absorbing cotton and renovated the bedroom
"We always tied up in the middle of the night, closed the soundproof door that picked up bargains, and used rags to plug the cracks in the door. We practiced until dawn and said that it was no longer possible. If we didn't go to class, we would really drop out of school. We would end this exercise, and then reminded each other with a thief smile: After class, the monster family will call us."
In the 1990s, rock and roll were popular in Taiwan. Too many people think that playing orchestras is a mess, not a serious matter.
Ashin's mother said, "If you continue to play guitar with them, you can only be a beggar."
Ashin's university teacher also said, "If you do a good job in design, you can do a good job in the future, why do you have to set up such a bad band?"
In March 1997, the Taiwan North College Rock Alliance held a large-scale orchestra event "Taiwanese Orchestra, Wild Taiwan Singing"
, but the event requires you to sing your own original songs, soAshin created "Rolling Truck".

? Martha contributed her BBS ID
"How about calling MAYDAY?"
So the band officially changed its name to "Mayday"
But who is the leader? No one wants to be.
So he used stone scissors to decide. Yes, the monster lost, so he became the unlucky captain,
, the captain who was 80 years old.
After participating in the opening of Taino, Mayday began to record the recorded songs such as "Ming" and " Zhiming and Chunjiao " into demos to major record companies, hoping to win the opportunity to make a film.
In June 1998, Ashin and Monster rode an electric bike to Rolling Stone Records Company on Guangfu South Road.
After the two entered the door, they said to the front desk lady:
"This is a sample of our band. Please give it to your demo listener. Even if you want to throw it away, please listen to it and throw it away again."
Mayday's tape successfully reached Leehom
A few days later, the monster received the call, "Hello, I am Leehom."
"You are Leehom, I am Luo Dayou." and hung up the phone.
But another call came immediately, "So it's really Big Brother Li Zongsheng"
Just like that, Mayday joined Rolling Stone Records.
Zhiming and Chunjiao Mayday - The first creative album
1998, Qian Youda withdrew from the band for his own reasons.
In Mayday, 1999, Liu Yanming, a training team room, was very good at playing drums, so he invited him to join Mayday. So, Yanming became the oldest and latest member of the band to join, becoming Mayday's "Guanyou".

Mayday has always been named "The King of The Concert", so Mayday uses the form of concerts to directly convey the power of music to fans.
Started from the "Fina Home When We Mixed" world tour, 14 tours from 2004 to 2006,
"Leave the Earth's Surface Jump! TheWorld" world tour, 23 tours from 2007 to 2008,
"D.N.A Creation" world tour, 44 tours from 2009 to 2010,

"Noah's Ark" World Tour, 82 tours from 2011 to 2014,
"Life Infinite Company" Tour, 122 tours from 2017 to 2019,
such intensive concerts make fans carnival while making many fans feel very distressed. The
concert is undoubtedly the most direct way for idols to contact fans, and the shocking power is far from comparable to the screen.
Mayday has given back all the best and purest power to fans in the form of music.
Mayday said they were going to sing until they were 80 years old, which was an agreement between him and his fans.
But maybe this is just a beautiful lie. The average age of Mayday is already 45 years old. Such a dense tour will cause great harm to the throat and body. Retirement is increasingly likely to happen.
So while it's not too late, go to a Mayday concert, don't wait any longer. Some things you don’t do now and will never do in your life.
also hopes that Mayday can reduce the density of the concert and spend time with Wumi for a longer time.
Some things will never do in your life. Mayday - Noah's Ark World Tour

Many people were surprised at the box office appeal of Mayday.
Can't see anyone rated for them, and can't see anyone rated for them.
But as soon as the concert is held, they are pouring out like a tide, and the 300,000 tickets from the 2019 Bird's Nest concert were sold out within an hour.
Why do everyone like Mayday?
The previous rock bands were rebellious, sharp, and even wanted to destroy the world, while Mayday's rock embraces the world with love. They are like fans' gas stations, and they will return with full blood when they listen to a song of theirs.
From Mayday, fans have learned to be content and stubborn.Mayday illuminates every darkness of fans with its own light.
Everyone doesn’t have to be a great man. Even if it is a salted fish, I can make the saltiest one.
Salted Fish Mayday - Quiet The most true masterpiece is
Mayday's songs have accompanied our generation to grow up, but now the music market is full of songs and many flavors. Will you no longer like Mayday?
We can listen to new songs, meet new singers, like new idols, and even go to listen to Mayday's songs. But when we are tired of listening to new songs and listen to some old songs, we will definitely have Mayday’s position.
Every time the current sounds, it will always pull us into the whirlpool of youth. The ignorance and youthfulness of the past, willfulness and pride, hard work and persistence, the classrooms we have been with and the classmates we have been together, all the scenes come to our minds.
Mayday is like an old friend and a confidant. Although we haven’t contacted each other for a long time, when we meet again, we can still talk about our youth and drink and have fun.
Gentle Mayday - Long live love
No fans will give up on liking Mayday. They have become part of our youth imprint. Who would not like their youth?
so please continue to like Mayday.
Finally, I want to wish me a happy 23rd birthday.
has Mayday, Everyday is mayday.
