    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • How to Draw and Color Ness from Earthbound
    Stephanie Lam ENGL 2116-021 Set of Instructions 3 Aug 2017 Ness is the silent protagonist from an RPG-game called Earthbound, How to Draw and Color Ness released by Nintendo in 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment from Earthbound System. He lives in Onett alongside his mother and sister. One day, a futuristic warrior arrives in a meteorite that crashed in Ness’ hometown. The warrior, named Buzz-Buzz, tells Ness about a doomed future and that Ness is one of the Chosen Four who could save the world. Ness sets out on a journey across Eagleland to find the rest of the Chosen Four and put a stop to the evil encroaching his homeland. Throughout the game, the player mostly controls Ness, though in some parts he or she controls one of the other Chosen Four. Ness uses bats or yoyos to fight, and wields pychokinetic powers called PSI. He and his friends fight wacky enemies they encounter in the overworld, such as the New Age Retro Hippie or the Ramblin’ Evil Mushroom, in a turn-based party battle system. The game is mostly known for its offbeat humor and heartwarming moments. Although Earthbound sold well in Japan, it did poorly in the United States because of a horrible ad campaign. Its commercial failure in the states caused the game to fall into obscurity. Physical copies of the game sell for over a hundred US dollars and complete sets can even go in the thousands range. The game has developed a cult following which hopes for Nintendo to someday turn its attention to the series.

    news #34 MUNGOLIAN JETSET - MUNGODELICS Hot on the heels of 2011`s "Schlungs", the Jetsetters have kept those buttons busily pushed, and are already here with their next chapter installment, featuring 8 new nuggets entitled "Mungodelics". The album is essentially a psychodramatic sequel to the highly acclaimed "We Gave It All Away, Now We Are Taking It Back" album of 2009, as it is musically a blend of originals and remakes made into originals, as well as solo performances and external collaborations from the band`s musical core members, Knut Saevik and Paul "Strangefruit" Nyhus. All in all, "Mungodelics" musically summons everything that is hazy, dazy, underearthly and crazy. This is the Mungolian Jetset taking you on a ride through the seasons, and shifts of the days and nights, from the Cantina to the Ewok forest, via ritualistic dancing at Kilmin Taboour and stellar swimming in the galactic Goa.

  • Super Smash Flash Beta
    Super smash flash beta Continue A fan has made a recreation of the popular super smash bros for online with many awesome characters. Super Smash Flash 2 includes a crossover between many video game universes such as, DB, Mario, Sonic, Naruto, zelda, Bleacher, Street Fighters, Pokemon, and more. Who do you choose to fight? Characters: Currently you can choose between 46 playable characters: Goku, Sonic, Pikachu, Bandana Dee, Black Magician, Blade, Blue, Bomber, Bowser, Captain Falcon, Chibi-Robo, Cloud Steer, Krono, Donkey Kong, Falco Lombardi, Fox McCloud, Ichigo Kurosaki, Isaac, Inuyash, Jiglipaf, Kirby, Knles Echidna, Crystal, Link, Lloyd Irving, Lucario, Luigi, Mario, Mart, Mega Man, Mega , Naruto Uzumaki, Ness, PAC-MAN, Pichu, Pikachu, Yama, Princess Peach, Princess zelda, Rayman, Ryu, Samus Aran, Sandbag, Shadow Hedgehog, Sheikh, Simon Belmont, Son of Goku, Sonic Hedgehog, Sora, Super Sonic, Valujia Gameplay: The goal is to use the ability to fight each other. The last person who survived wins. Each player has a percentage counter at the bottom of the screen, which increases as they take damage. The higher the percentage, the easier they become, which means the attack will send them flying farther, which could eventually lead to a knockout. Development: Considered one of the largest flash games the project has ever developed. The first version of Super Smash Flash was released in 2006 by Mcleodgaming. Since then, hundreds of developers have helped to contribute and build up to this current installment. All developers are fans of the original Smash Bros and want to recreate their favorite games in their own way.
