    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.

  • Makes It Easy to Find Manuals Online!
    Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Photo © Jay Banbury From Jim Marshall I am really pleased that you have chosen this 1959RR Randy Rhoads Signature Series Super Lead 100W head. It is only the fourth signature amplifier that we have produced and I feel it is a great addition to this select range. I first met Randy when he came to the factory in January 1980. He had not long ago joined Ozzy Osbourne and they were working on their first album. He came here knowing exactly what he was looking for, he just needed to find the amplifier that was going to be capable of delivering the power, the tone, and the reliability that he wanted, but was also in keeping with the image that he was to be recognised by. Randy almost found everything he was searching for in a standard 1959 head, but the tone was not quite right. He spent some time with my Service Manager, explaining the slight difference he was looking for, and after a few trials we were able to fit a modification which made the subtle change to the standard tone of the 1959. Randy left the factory to proudly stand in front of his white Marshall stack for all of his hugely successful, but sadly too brief career with Ozzy Osbourne. In this time the legendary guitarist could be seen by thousands of fans, performing in front of his Marshall stack – a sight to behold and a triumphant assault on the ears. Our design team have spent many hours investigating the original Randy Rhoads amplifier, speaking to the Randy Rhoads family, talking to people who knew Randy and heard him play, and talking to the Service Manager who was at the factory when Randy came in and made the modification to the amplifier.

  • It's Still Rock 'N' Roll to Him
    Published in the Home News Tribune 10/13/02 Right, keyboardist David Rosenthal of Iselin tunes up for a recent Billy Joel- Elton John concert at Continental Airlines Arena It's still rock 'n' roll to him By PAUL FRANKLIN Photos by Alexandra Pais STAFF WRITER Special to the Home News Tribune David Rosenthal was recently awarded a Distinguished Alumni Award for "Outstanding Achievements in Contemporary Music" following a lecture at Berklee College of Music in Boston. That's what happens when you're part of Billy Joel's band and have toured the world nine times as a keyboard player. That's what happens when you're performing with Enrique Iglesias and Cyndi Lauper. And that's what happens when you appear on "Late Night With David Letterman," "Saturday Night Live" and MTV. But when the 41-year-old talks music in his Iselin basement, he also mentions being inducted last spring into the Hall of Honor at J.P. Stevens High School. Clearly not his biggest accomplishment, but this guy hasn't forgotten his roots. Whether entertaining crowds in Tokyo, Brazil or Boston, Rosenthal remains a Jersey guy. Not only that, he remains a humble guy. Considering his accomplishments, that's not exactly a walk through Roosevelt Park. Rosenthal, who grew up in Edison, completes a four-week tour with Joel today at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford. In his spare time recently, he has been scoring and arranging keyboard parts and synthesizer programming for the Broadway musical "Movin' Out," a show based on 26 of Joel's songs that opens Oct.

  • Derek Sherinian Graces November Cover
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2011 DEREK SHERINIAN GRACES NOVEMBER COVER OF KEYBOARD Current Member of Black Country Communion, and former Dream Theater Keyboardist is joined by Joe Bonamassa, Steve Stevens, Steve Lukather, Tony MacAlpine, and Simon Phillips on Recently Released Oceana Los Angeles --- Derek Sherinian has been tapped by Keyboard as a “Keyboard Hero for A New Generation.” “In the ‘70s and part of the ‘80’s, demigods like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, and Jon Lord topped the charts and battled each other…for rock supremacy,” and closes “With each new chapter in his career, Sherinian has risen even higher into the rare pantheon of keyboard legends.” As the decades have witnessed drastic evolution in technology and significant innovations in genre-bending and sound, so too is there a widespread variance in public perception that defines a keyboard hero. Inevitably it comes down to delivering indelible compositions and performances, a quality that Keyboard sees in Sherinian’s long resume as they position his legacy well in stating, “ Where you find heavy, you’ll probably find Derek, who’s thick sounds and guitaristic approach to soloing stand as tall as the baddest of six-string slingers.” Sherinian’s latest offering Oceana was just released by Music Theories, a division of the Mascot Label Group. Sherinian has performed for millions via the vehicles of Black Country Communion (of which he is a current member alongside Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Joe Bonamassa), Dream Theater, Alice Cooper, Buddy Miles, and as an off-stage performer accompanying KISS. He also enjoyed tenures with Billy Idol, Yngwie Malmsteen and many others.
