Put the Chicago Emblem Over the Depaul University Sticker. • The Redesign the board; put the Chicago emblem over the DePaul University sticker. The year was 1967 and the place was DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Walter Parazaider would soon be graduating with a Master’s Degree in music. He was playing the clarinet in the Chicago Symphony and saxophone in a cover band. But Walter wanted to start a band, a band that was different than anything the music industry had ever heard. He wanted to start a band where horns were the main feature, not just something in the background. He began recruiting friends who were also studying music at DePaul University First he recruited Danny Seraphine who was a prolific jazz and rock drummer. Then he recruited Terry Kath. I think the main reason Terry was because he had a cool hat. He invited him into the band because if they were ever going hungry Terry could trap some squirrels. He was a very talented guitar player. In fact the great Jimi Hendrix once said of Terry’s guitar playing, “Man, I’m good, but this cat blows me away.” Terry also had a deep and raspy rhythm and blues voice that he got from listening to hours of Ray Charles. Next he recruited Lee Loughlane. He played the trumpet. Then James Pankow. He played the trombone. I know what you are thinking. Where can I get a shirt like that? These three men were like the Holy Trinity of Horns. They gave the band that distinctive Chicago sound. Now, two blocks away was Roosevelt University, and Walter recruited Robert Lamm a classical pianist who was studying music there. He became one of the lead singers in the band as well as one of the best song writers. As a classical pianist he gave their music, well, a classical feel. They had one more piece to fill and so they added Peter Cetera who was also from Roosevelt University. Peter played the bass. He was “considered the standard for bass players in the 70’s.” He had an incredibly high tenor voice perfect for contrasting with baritones Kath and Lamm. These seven were often called a “Musician’s Band.” Because of their musical sophistication and training, they were greatly appreciated by those who had training in music and understood the complexity of what they were doing. They were a mixture of jazz, classical and rock. With their collaborative spirit the final product was something uniquely special. If you were looking for pretty melody lines and loves songs, this was not the band for you. These things played well on the radio, but it was not Chicago. They played the music they wanted to, with a disregard for the music industry. Chicago Transit Authority (Album I) – 1969 - #17 – (No hits; until years later) In 1969, by the time the band started recording with Columbia Records they had a surplus of music. They wanted to do a double album, but NO ONE ever did a double album for their first album. It was too risky. Columbia Records finally agreed to the double album when the band agreed to take a cut in royalties. The name of the band at this time was Chicago Transit Authority. The name of the album was the same. Now from the beginning, Chicago had a commitment to be what they called a “faceless band.” The understatement of the album cover reflects that. They wanted to make a statement that it was about the music and NOT the individuals. (collaboration) By design, they did NOT have a leader. All decisions were made by group consensus. Everyone in the band wrote songs. Everyone in the band sang at times. While on tour for the album, the real Chicago Transit Authority threatened to sue and so they changed their name to Chicago. Chicago II – 1970 - #4 (3 Top Ten Hits) This too, was a double album. Most people consider this album their Masterpiece. After recording this album, Walter Parazaider made the statement: “If Bach were alive today, he would probably be playing in a band similar to Chicago.” Most of Chicago’s early albums were long songs made up of shorter “movements” similar to a concerto in classical music. Chicago III – 1971 - #2 (1 Top 20; 1 Top 40) Chicago III was AGAIN a double album. By now you are noticing they never put a title on their albums. It is anti- commercialism. They said they wanted the music to speak for itself. You can tell by the cover, that this is a highly political album. All of their albums to this point have had political overtones and a desire to make the world a better place to be. No romantic love songs. Chicago IV or sometimes called “Live at Carnegie Hall” Their next album was a live album that the band didn’t like. James Pankow said the horns sounded like kazoos. They were the first rock band to play at Carnegie Hall, a sign that the band was growing in popularity. Chicago V – 1972 - #1 (9 weeks) This is their first single album. This album is by far their most political album. Most people consider this their 3rd best album. Creatively it is musical genius. Chicago VI – 1973 - #1 (5 weeks) What happened to the faceless band? Chicago purists were outraged. However, they were more upset that for the first time, the album seem to take a small step to a more commercial, radio friendly sound. Chicago VII – 1974 - #1 (1 week) (3 top ten) This album marks the first time the group had dissension. The group wanted to do a jazz-oriented album, but Guercio, the producer who had been with them since the beginning and Peter Cetera, the bass player, were concerned about the commercial risk. Eventually they compromised and made their last double album. It was mostly jazz, but it had enough radio friendly songs to make the album a success. Chicago VIII – 1975 #1 (1 week) A decidedly rock album complete with distortion guitar. Not their best work, but still very good. Chicago IX – 1975 - #1 (4 weeks) THIS abomination was a Greatest Hits Album. (put two devils on the album cover) NEXT! Chicago X – 1976 - #3 This album was more of a soul album. Most notably there was one song that barely made the album. After they were done recording, Guercio felt like they needed one more song. He went only to Peter Cetera, who wrote and sang a love ballad called “If You Leave Me Now.” Ironically, it went immediately to No. 1 all over the world. This made many of the band members uncomfortable, especially Robert Lamm and Terry Kath. They felt like public perception and expectations were changing, as well as the expectations of Columbia Records. Chicago XI – 1977 #6 Take a good look at this last one. It is the last REAL Chicago album you will see. Soon after this album, producer James Guercio’s was fired for his heavy handed control and for stifling their creativity. He wanted them to be more commercial. The frustration the band was feeling as they attempted to hold on to their early beginnings was reflected in the words written and sung by Danny Seraphine on this album: Take me back to Chicago, where music was all I had and life was so much simpler then. (possible revision) Four months after the album came out, the band was having a party one evening after a concert. The room was filled with band members, family and friends. Terry Kath, the guitar player was cleaning his revolver and a lot of people in the room were nervous about it. To loosen everyone up, he said, “Don’t worry. It’s not even loaded.” He pointed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger. There was a bullet in the chamber. The band mourned for months. They nearly broke up, but finally decided to hire another guitar player and producer. The producer made changes quickly. Gone were the horns. They were moved to the background. Worse yet, some songs did not even have horns, they had (shudder) strings. Most of the songs were radio friendly love songs and almost all of the songs were sung by Peter Cetera who had the most commercial sounding voice. To Chicago enthusiasts, the band was now officially dead. Pause Although the band is dead, the Spirit of Chicago lives on. The spirit of Chicago lives on in people like Chance the Rapper, a young man who wants to make a difference in the world and refuses to sign a record contract lest they strip him of his creative control. Chance the Rapper gives his music away for free. So what do we learn from the story of Chicago? We learn that the world will try to squeeze you into its mold. The only way out is to Play What You Want to. And if you do, you would really look cool in Terry’s hat. (point) May he rest in peace. Thank you. 13 minutes without the red revision. .

    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.

He was friends Iwith my teacher Al Miller, and we would go to see Buddy Rich perform backstage. Jim would tell me what Buddy was doing and an- alyze it to the slightest movement. My visit with the “Chapin Magic” started. Jim was always so sharing with his hard-earned knowledge. He simply taught the best drummers in the 20th century and was work- ing on the 21st century. His books, CDs and DVD is a university of information; owning them all is a must! I have learned from him, taught with him, performed with him and even played for him while he sang. He loved life and music equally. I am a better person for having experienced the “Chapin Mag- ic!” He was called the Father of Drumming Independence. How ironic of him to pass away on July 4th, America’s Independence. Jim will live long in his contributions ...
