    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.

    20072007 ANNUALANNUAL REPORTREPORREPO T TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS We continued to demonstrate success in 2007 in executing our strategic plan. We took multiple steps to transform Live Nation into a vertically integrated live music company that directly unites artists, fans and sponsors across all revenue generating products. We are moving ahead to capitalize on our global concert platform as artists look for expanded and new business partners. Reaching an agreement in principle with U2 for a 12-year exclusive partnership is another signifi cant validation that Live Nation is the most attractive option for the biggest artists in the world. Madonna, and now U2, believe in Live Nation and our promising future as a highly innovative music company that is responding quickly to changes in the music business landscape. As a result, we believe Live Nation is a signifi cantly stronger organization, strategically and fi nancially, than only one year ago. Over the next year, we will continue to build on our three core strategies: • Grow our global concert platform internally • Prepare to launch our global ticketing, online business in 2009 • Continue to enter relationships with touring artists for longer and wider product lines centered around our core concert business When we launched Live Nation in December 2005, the company had been declining in overall profi tability for the previous few years. We set out to stop the decline and turn Live Nation into a growth company by running our core business better and by expanding into new revenue streams. In 2007, we set out to do four main things, all of which we achieved – to improve our North American Music operations, grow our International Music platform, launch the Live Nation Artist division and defi ne our Ticketing/ Online future.

  • Fans, Travel to and from the Show Like Rockstars! Live Nation and Uber Kick Off Marketing Partnership with Venue and Festival Focused Ride Program
    FANS, TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE SHOW LIKE ROCKSTARS! LIVE NATION AND UBER KICK OFF MARKETING PARTNERSHIP WITH VENUE AND FESTIVAL FOCUSED RIDE PROGRAM – Uber Begins Servicing Live Nation Amphitheaters, Clubs, Theaters and Festivals Memorial Day Weekend with Sasquatch! Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival New York! – LOS ANGELES (May 14, 2015) – Live Nation and Uber today announced a marketing partnership which will provide concert and festival goers an easy way to get to and from certain Live Nation events when riding with Uber. Uber services will be offered for 20 festivals throughout the year, 62 select Live Nation amphitheaters, clubs and theaters across the U.S. Festivals including the Electric Daisy Carnival, Faster Horses, Music Midtown, HARD Summer Music Festival, and more will be a part of this great program. [Full list is below]. “Fans want the journey to and from a concert to be as smooth as possible,” said Russell Wallach, President of Live Nation Media & Sponsorships. “Uber offers a convenient alternative to driving for riders to any event, and we are thrilled about the experience this brings for all of our fans.” This unique marketing partnership lets fans focus more on the music experience by having easy transportation methods and designated drop-off and pick-up locations, where available, and reduces the frustration associated with traffic and other driving concerns — just fun, friends and music. Building off of the existing integration of Uber's API on Live Nation's mobile application, announced earlier this year, this marketing partnership also simplifies the process of getting a ride to a venue with the inclusion of the automatic address feature, allowing concertgoers a quick, simple way to request an Uber when they want to head to a show with the destination already pre-loaded into the Uber app.

A film by Andrew Horn 134 min. | USA | Unrated | 2014 | 1.77:1 Official Site: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/twistedsister Press Materials: http://www.musicboxfilms.com/twistedsister-press National Theatrical / Home Entertainment Publicity Contact Carol Kaye, Kayos Productions Inc. | [email protected] | 212-366-9970 Music Box Films Contacts Theatrical Booking: Brian Andreotti | [email protected] | 312-508-5361 Marketing & PR: Lisa Trifone | [email protected] | 312-508-5360 Exhibition Materials: Lindsey Jacobs | [email protected] | 312-508-5365 SYNOPSIS In the mid-1970s, Twisted Sister claimed glitter rock for their own, cross-dressing their way to headlining every club within 100 miles of New York City, from New Jersey bowling alleys to Long Island beach bars. With gigs six nights a week, they were the most successful live bar band of suburban New York, selling out 5,000-seat shows fueled by their no-holds-barred stage presence and aggressive metal setlists. But by the early ‘80s, they found themselves balancing on a double-edged sword, hugely popular with local audiences but without a national following – or a record deal – to speak of. When Twisted Sister finally got their big break in 1983, they’d go on to become one of the biggest glam rock bands of the decade; their over-the-top live shows drawing sell-out crowds and their music videos defining an early MTV network. To anyone who knew the hard-fought battle they’d won to get there, “the band that killed disco” was no overnight success. WE ARE TWISTED F***ING SISTER! is the mesmerizing, wickedly appealing and never-before-told story of the ten grueling years leading up to the band’s legendary career, recounted directly by the band themselves, their managers and their biggest fans.
