    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.

It's four in the morning and frcm where we sit, this Final Issue looks like a keeper. We've put a ton of time and energyinto this particular edition, and we think you'll have lots of fun with the overview. After all, with some 90 + stations responding to our sur- vey, it's basically your window on RockWorld as it went down this past year. The first year of any new business is hell on wheels, (Groanong, creaking, barking dog sound efx, please) and we've seen quite a parade in '87. When I look back over my final comments last year (after nine issues), it sounded as if we had moved mountains. And in a way we had, starting from scratch to a full service publication some 140 stations deep. But in the 12 months since, it has become readily apparent that we were barely walking then. We've extended our reporter roster well past the 200 mark; Our New Alternative and Hard Rock sections have inspired numerous imitators, and our combi- nation of high technology and people power has effectively re -defined what a tip sheet can and will be in the years to come.

  • Sister Mary Speaks
    AnybodyListening.net/The Breakdown Room SISTER MARY SPEAKS Vocalist's Role with Queensrÿche Continues to Expand By BRIAN J. HEATON Pamela Moore has had a pretty diverse career. Although the singer is widely known for being the riveting voice of "Sister Mary" on Queensrÿche's legendary concept album, Operation: Mindcrime, she's also released her own recordings, contributed her voice to various radio and television commercials, and has a background in theater. The latter came in handy over the past two years, as Moore joined Queensrÿche for an extensive world tour, reprising and expanding her familiar role as the love interest of "Nikki," Operation: Mindcrime's central character. Changes to her customary performance included additional vocal duties and acting out her character's parts on stage - a dramatic performance she was excited to have the opportunity to portray. "This time around I was able to sing more and help out on vocals," Moore explained. "The latter part of the year we really concentrated on bringing to life the Mindcrime show. Since I do have a theater background it was very enjoyable to pull that out again." While she was satisfied by her performance, the Seattle vocalist wasn't aware just how graphic the Sister Mary death scene was, as the character commits suicide by putting a bullet in her head. "I didn't realize it was so bloody," Moore admitted. "At the time [the show] was being rehearsed, I was on my honeymoon and wasn't able to return until a day before the tour started." Moore originally was contacted by the band to record the vocal parts for Sister Mary after the band discovered her doing radio and television commercials for a music store she was working at part time in the late 1980s.

  • Double Feature Tribute Next at Hht
    PRESS RELEASE – July 24, 2017 Susan Carrier (951) 551-5363 [email protected] DOUBLE FEATURE TRIBUTE NEXT AT HHT Next up at the Historic Hemet Theatre is a double feature tribute concert. Two outstanding tribute bands together for one spectacular concert event. On Saturday August 12th, HHT will host a tribute to The Who and Heart, featuring the bands WhosNext and Dog 'n Butterfly. Along with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, The Who complete the trinity of British rock and roll. The list of their smash hits including “Behind Blue Eyes”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, “Who Are You”, “Baba O’ Riley” (Teenage Waste Land),… goes on and on. The Who was one of the great rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s, featured at Woodstock. Because of the complex musical arrangements, harmonies and various instruments soloing simultaneously, there are very few tribute bands able to recreate the music and attitude of The Who. "The Who Experience" by the Orange County based "WhosNext" is a powerfully realistic tribute with an incredible resemblance both musically and visually. This energetic performance is a must see for classic rock fans young and old and will leave fans screaming for more! HEART rose to fame in the mid-1970's with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal. The group sold over 35 million records, with hits like "Baracuda,"Crazy On You," and "Magic Man." "Dog 'n' Butterfly" is a 5 piece band of accomplished musicians dedicated to bringing their talent and love of Heart’s memorable music to the stage with unequaled accuracy and musical skill.
