    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.

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.

  • 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.

  • John Fredrick Stillwell
    JOHN FREDRICK STILLWELL John 'DAWK' Stillwell, 73, of Freeville, formerly of Ithaca, passed away peacefully Monday, December 21, 2015. He was born on October 23, 1942 in Ithaca, the son of the late Charles and Helen Kordas Stillwell and had been an area resident for most of his life. 'DAWK' as he was affectionately known by his family and friends, was currently employed by the band Manowar as an electrical engineer for more than 37 years. DAWK had three extended families, his relatives, his band and his fans. Some of John's passions included his vast movie collection which included numerous vintage 16 mm film projections. These would often be shown to his family and were frequently used by several historical groups in which no one was more astute and knowledgeable of these movies. His authority of knowledge didn't end there as he was an aficionado of trollies, Lionel trains and anything that dealt with both World War I and World War II. Probably DAWK'S most favorite hobby was exploring caves. Besides his many hobbies, his true love was his family, and he cherished every possible moment he had with them. His love of life, sense of humor and charismatic ways will always be treasured by his family and truly never forgotten. Besides his favorite band, Manowar, he also loved Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, and previously worked for Black Sabbath. DAWK was a worldwide 'ROCK' Legend! He is survived by his spouse and best friend, Loraine 'Countess' Cloud; her son, Eric (Katherine) Cloud and their children, Autumn and Colin.

  • Cultural Heritage and History in the Metal Scene
    _Cultural Heritage and History in the Metal Scene _reem saouma_sophia molpheta simon pille_stefan de klepper Cultural heritage and History in the Metal Scene Cultural Heritage And History in the Metal Scene Belvedere Chair in The Chairgroup Land Use Planning Roel During, Marieke Muilwijk Wageningen, October 2007 Stefan de Klepper_forest and nature conservation Sophia Molpheta_landscape architecture and planning Simon Pille_landscape architecture and planning Reem Saouma_landscape architecture and planning abstract abstract This paper represents an inquiry on the use of history and cultural heritage in the metal scene. It is an attempt to show how history and cultural heritage can possibly be spread among people using an unconventional way. The followed research method was built on an explorative study that included an analysis of elements of the music, such as lyrics, performance and fashion, together with interviews of bands and people from the metal scene. However, the study focused on five different metal styles in Europe: the early metal (60’s and early 70’s), The new wave of British heavy metal (around the 80’s), the Swedish death metal (’90-present), the Norwegian black metal (’90-present) and the folk metal (mid 90’s-present). The analysis shows that cultural history plays a role in certain styles of metal or particular bands. Especially in Black metal and in the closely related Viking metal, the use of history and cultural heritage is most common. There are bands within these styles that tell stories through their lyrics and express the historical feeling by the overall image and appearances at concerts. The research shows how history and cultural heritage are used by many bands as an inspiration as well as how it can play a role in forming a common identity among fans and musicians.

  • Vikings, Norse Mythology, and Medievalism in Nordic Extreme Metal Music
    “A great heathen fist from the North” Vikings, Norse Mythology, and Medievalism in Nordic Extreme Metal Music. Ashley Walsh Master’s Thesis for Nordic Viking and Medieval Culture- ILN UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Autumn 2013 2 © Ashley Walsh 2013 «A great heathen fist from the North»: Vikings, Norse Mythology, and Medievalism in Nordic Extreme Metal Ashley Walsh http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo 3 Summary Viking metal is a dynamic and popular subgenre of metal music of burgeoning popularity coming primarily from Nordic countries. These musicians use their nations’ Viking histories and saga material as inspiration for their lyrics and nostalgic reimaginings of the past are used to make commentaries on modern society and hopes for the future. Viking metal bands use the Middle Ages and the Viking Age as a screen upon which to play with nostalgic imaginings of what life was like then or at least how it should have been based upon aspects of the collective memory of their communities which can include the works of historians and that of artists and political figures. They use this as a means of criticizing the modern Christian world they perceive as being weaker than the ancient one. The three main components of Viking metal are: • The idealization of a national past from which an ethnic identity can be constructed on a national, Scandinavian, or pan-Nordic level. • A staunch opposition to Christianity that is based on the perceived oppression of their ancestors in the Viking Age for which they lust for vengeance. This vengeance is described as taking place in a grand Ragnarok-inspired battle between the pagan forces and the Christian.
