    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.

Instructions: Read the text carefully and answer the questions below. Yngwie J. Malmsteen Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerbäck, June 30, 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, composer and bandleader. Widely recognized as a virtuoso, Malmsteen achieved widespread acclaim in the 1980s due to his technical proficiency and his pioneering neo-classical metal. Guitar One magazine rated him the third fastest guitar shredder in the world after Michael Angelo Batio and Chris Impellitteri. Born into a musical family in Stockholm, Yngwie was the youngest child in the family. At an early age, he showed little interest in music. It wasn't until September 18, 1970 when at age seven he saw a TV special on the death of Jimi Hendrix that Malmsteen became obsessed with the guitar. To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Yngwie was born". He claims his first name in Swedish means "young Viking chief". Actually, it is a variation of Yngvi, who founded the House of Yngling, which is the oldest known Swedish dynasty. Malmsteen was in his teens when he first encountered the music of the 19th- José Ramón Montero Del Angel | Universidad Veracruzana century violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical influence. It has been rumoured that Yngwie believes himself to be the reincarnation of the temperamental, often criticized,and widely misunderstood violinist from Genoa. Through his emulation of Paganini concerto pieces on guitar, Malmsteen developed a prodigious technical fluency.

    SCORPIONS Lovedrive (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 1979 Nombre de pistes : 8 Durée : 37' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! Bon voyage ! Avec Lovedrive, SCORPIONS entame la plus extraordinaire trilogie discographique jamais enregistrée par un groupe de Rock allemand. Sans doute est-ce dû au succès rencontré par la tournée mondiale d’où fut tiré le splendide live Tokyo Tapes et qui a enfin apporté une crédibilité internationale aux arthropodes.Sans doute également l’intégration du jeune guitariste Matthias JABS (remplaçant l’excentrique Uli John ROTH, parti fonder ELECTRIC SUN, bien que l’on ressente encore parfois son apport musical) a-t-elle eu une influence sur le résultat final. Sans doute, encore, est-ce le fait de changer de label, passant de RCA à EMI. Sans doute, enfin, que la nationalité même du groupe fut un rempart contre le Punk qui a dévasté les plus grands noms de l’époque. Les conseils du producteur Dieter DIERKS expliquent également certainement le succès fulgurant remporté par ce cinquième album studio des SCORPIONS. Tout autant que la pochette (signée par l’avant-gardiste Hipgnosis) qui, une nouvelle fois (après celle fort décriée et aujourd’hui introuvable de Virgin Killer) fait jaser.

    17th Street Guitars Page 1 of 3 17th STREET GUITARS INKS EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH LEGENDARY VIRTUOSO GUITARIST ULI JON ROTH 50 Limited Edition "Sky Guitar" Instruments Hand-Made; Each Authenticated and Signed by Roth SANTA MONICA, CA - September 28, 2004 - 17th Street Guitars, an exciting new manufacturer of electric guitars and basses, announces its exclusive deal to build Uli Jon Roth’s illustrious “Sky Guitar.” Designed by the artist himself and perfected via several prototypes by Greek-born master luthier Andreas Demetriou in England, only 50 “Sky Guitar” instruments will be hand-made for distribution. The legendary guitarist awarded the license exclusively to 17th Street Guitars to craft his “Sky Guitar” because of the company’s commitment to building instruments to the highest possible standard. U.J. Roth will personally test each “Sky Guitar” before its release. Ever since its first prototype 21 years ago, the Sky Guitar was hailed as a revolutionary design in more ways than one. The Sky Guitar was the first of its kind, which incorporated a significant number of extra frets, and was probably the first 7- string electric guitar built out of necessity. The unique and aesthetically pleasing body shape makes it possible to play top notes which equal the register of a violin, something which was unthinkable for the conventional guitar beforehand. Roth makes frequent use of this extraordinary feature, which enables him to play complete classical violin concertos, such as Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, without having to transpose a single note. A further vital component in the equation is the integrated, built-in ‘Mega-Wing’ pick-up system.

    UFO 17. Juni 2019 Stuttgart-Wangen LKA/Longhorn Last Orders 50th Anniversary Tour Gäste: Nine Eyes Nation 50 Jahre UFO – nur wenige britische Rockgruppen können von sich behaupten, über derart viele Dekaden durchgehend weltweit präsent und prägend gewesen zu sein und unablässig die Rockwelt mit fantastischen, mitunter legendären Alben und glanzvolle Tourneen begeistert zu haben. Doch wie so manche Künstler dieser Tage, wollen sie abtreten auf immer noch hohem Niveau. Phil Mogg, charismatischer Sänger der Band – und wie Drummer Andy Parker von Anfang der Karriere mit dabei – hat erklärt, dass nach 2019 Schluss ist mit den Tourneen. Genießen wir also 2019 diese traumhafte Rockband noch einmal in vollen Zügen – sie werden auf der ganzen Welt die Last Orders entgegen nehmen. Bereits 1969 benannte sich die Londoner Band nach dem beliebten Live-Club UFO und konnte nicht nur mit ihren ersten beiden Alben, sondern auch mit Songs wie „C´mon everybody“ und „Boogie for George“ sofort Erfolge und sogar Hits feiern. Der Stil in dieser Zeit vermengte harten Boogie mit SpaceRock. Als UFO 1973 zu einer Tournee nach Deutschland reisten, wurde ihrem damaligen Gitarrist Bernie Marsden wegen eines vergessenen Passes die Einreise verweigert – er wurde kurzerhand von dem Gitarristen der Vorband, den „Scorpions“ ersetzt, der in der Folge bei UFO fest einsteigen sollte: Michael Schenker. Mit Schenker veränderte sicher der Sound sehr starken – kraftvoller fetzigen Hardrock mit Melodien für die Ewigkeiten. Alben wie „Force it“, „No Heavy Petting“, „Lights out“ und „Obsession“ lieferten Hits und Klassiker – und brachten weltweiten Erfolg. Den Vogel schoss natürlich ihr Live-Album „Strangers in the Night“ ab – nicht nur in England landeten sie in den Top 10.

All rights reserved. www.adambomb.com Research and design: Gernotte Frickenberger ADAM BOMB The History 3 Chapter 1 Biography Chapter 1 1963 Adam was born as Adam Brenner in Seattle, Washington USA. Adam formed the cover band TYRANT with singer GEOFF TATE who later formed QUEENSRŸCHE . First the band was called Spectrum and they 1979 played Judas Priest, UFO or Rush songs. Normally, they had gigs at High Schools. After a ‘battle of bands’ the band broke up. One of the first gigs Adam met EDWARD VAN HALEN in a hotel in Tacoma Washington. He asked Eddie to sign his guitar and wound up getting a three hour guitar lesson. Those three hours changed his life forever. Later he joined the band TKO from Seattle. Adam co-wrote 1980 most of the new material of the band and recorded the album IN YOUR FACE . But TKO couldn’t get a record deal. The album was too heavy for the current music market, Disco was still the main thing. Without a deal, Adam eventually left and was re- placed. TKO ended up with a record deal releasing In Your Face on Combat Records in 1984. Reissue 2008 with Adam on back cover Adam was asked to audition for KISS . Ace Frehley, the original guitar player, left the band before.
