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.

Heavy-metal in the 1970s was Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC, Journey, Boston, Rush, and it was the most theatrical and brutal of rock genres. It was not easy to reconcile this genre with the anti-heroic ethos of the punk era. It could have seemed almost impossible to revive that genre, that was slowly dying, in an era that valued the exact opposite of machoism, and that was producing a louder and noisier genre, hardcore. Instead, heavy metal began its renaissance in the same years of the new wave, capitalizing on the same phenomenon of independent labels. Credit goes largely to a British contingent of bands, that realized how they could launch a "new wave of British heavy metal" during the new wave of rock music. Motorhead (1), formed by ex-Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, were the natural bridge between heavy metal, Stooges/MC5 and punk-rock. They played demonic, relentless rock'n'roll at supersonic speed: Iron Horse (1977), Metropolis (1979), Bomber (1979), Jailbait (1980), Iron Fist (1982), etc.

As it turned out, the collective talents of The Marshall Tucker Band took them very far indeed. Today, the band records on its own RAMBLIN’ RECORDS Label (distributed by Sony/RED) and continues to release new and previously unreleased material. Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated. Gray is quick to credit the band's current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of The Marshall Tucker Band sound. Current members include the highly respected drummer B.B. Borden, a former member of both Mother's Finest and The Outlaws, multi instrumentalist Marcus Henderson of Macon, Georgia, plays flute, saxophone and keyboards in addition to lead and background vocals, Pat Elwood on bass guitar, and Rick Willis on lead guitar and vocals, both of Spartanburg SC, are disciples of the MEDIA RELATIONS DEPARTMENT PO BOX 389 RHINEBECK, NY 12572 PHONE: (845) 876-4000 FAX: (845) 876-4003 Caldwell Brothers.

  • THE SOAPGIRLS – Rebels with Cause Tour 2020

    THE SOAPGIRLS – Rebels with Cause Tour 2020

    Attraktiv, Provokant, Authentisch – Riot Punk’n’Roll Girls auf Mission in Europa: THE SOAPGIRLS – Rebels with cause Tour 2020 Die furchtlosen Geschwister Mille und Mie Debray, gebürtig in Frankreich, haben eine Mission: Mit ihrer Band The SoapGirls zelebrieren sie gelebte Freiheit, Freizügigkeit und Authentizität gepaart mit einer provokanten Ehrlichkeit. Der raue Garagensound aus Alternative Rock, Punk’n’Roll und Grunge trifft auf eingängige Melodien und Refrains. Als Straßenkünstlerinnen im Kindes- und Jugendalter zogen sie neun Jahre lang durch die Straßen Kapstadts, performten Kleinkunst, sangen und verkauften selbstgemachte Seifen an Touristen, um einen Teil der Erlöse an Krankenhäuser zu spenden - und so verpassten die Einheimischen den allseits bekannten quirligen, nonchalanten Gören den Namen „The SoapGirls“. “We have been The SoapGirls since we were 8 and 9 selling handmade soap and street performing for various causes, we did this 365 days of the year for 9 years”. Mit 12 und 13 Jahren begann ihre musikalische Karriere - nach einigen Charterfolgen in ihrer Wahlheimat Südafrika verließen sie das Major Label Universal, um fortan keine Kompromisse mehr bei ihren Songs und ihrer Live-Performance eingehen zu müssen. Es folgte das erste Independent- Album „Calls For Rebellion“ mit Songs wie „Bad Bitch“ und „Johnny Rotten“. Das zweite Album mit dem Titel „Societys Rejects“ wird zum Lebensmotto der SoapGirls. Sie touren ausgiebig durch Rock’n’Roll Clubs und Kaschemmen in den USA, Großbritannien und Kontinental-Europa und spielen sich förmlich den Arsch ab. Die kompromisslose Attitude, und die exzessiven, ausschweifenden Live- Shows bringen ihnen letztendlich den Ruf absoluter Kredibilität und Authentizität ein. Folgerichtig haben sie es zum Top Act bei einigen der größten Punk und Alternative-Festivals wie dem Rebellion oder Camden Rocks in Großbritannien geschafft.
  • Achilles in the Age of Steel

    Achilles in the Age of Steel

    CHILLES IN THE AGE OF STEEL: A GREEK MYTH IN MODERN POPULAR MUSIC Eleonora Cavallini · Dipartimento di Storie e Metodi per la Conservazione dei Beni Culturali Alma Mater Studiorum Università di Bologna (sede di Ravenna) Keywords: Achilles, mythology, music, Manowar 1. Introduction The presence of Greek Mythology in so called “popular” music is far more significant and frequent than one could suppose. A few interesting examples of this phenomenon can be found in some songs and ballads of the Sixties, albeit in that period the references to Greek gods, heroes and heroines seem to be incidental, loose and sometimes even ironical. As for instance, in Lee Hazlewood’s Some velvet morning (1967), the mention of Phaedra is due more to the fascinating sound of the name itself than to the suggestion of Euripides’ tragedy1. A very different case is Aphrodite Mass by The Fugs2, a humorous and intentionally provocative American band formed in 1965 by the poets Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg (Figure 1). The most surprising and amazing part of this bizarre song consists in a musical adaptation of Sappho’s Ode to Aphrodite: the lyrics faithfully reproduce the original Greek text, the words are spelled with a correct Erasmian pronunciation and the rhythm is the one of a Sapphic stanza: never- theless, the intent of the whole operation is openly desecrating and parodistic. Figure 1. Proof for the cover of an In my opinion, a systematic investigation album by the band “The Fugs”. about the echoes of Greek myth in today’s · Corresponding author: e-mail [email protected] ConservationScienceinCulturalHeritage,9-I/2009 113 music is needed, as it probably would reveal some unexpected aspects of contemporary life and culture.
