  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

  • Reading Activity Title: Yngwie J. Malmsteen Level. Intermediate +
    Reading activity Title: Yngwie J. Malmsteen Level. Intermediate + Objective. To practice reading comprehension and identify the past form of the verb and the regular and irregular forms. 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.

  • Aquiles Priester – Those Who Appreciate My Work Expect Some Kind of Didactic Material to Be Released from Time to Time
    1. In your busy life as a musician you've found time to realize methods and DVDs. What prompted you to dedicate time to their achievement? Aquiles Priester – Those who appreciate my work expect some kind of didactic material to be released from time to time. I’m in no hurry to do many things so as to have a vast catalogue. My greatest concern is to maintain a high level of quality in everything I do. Come to think of it, free time is something that doesn’t exist, but if you want to go ahead in your care er, you have to make time to realize the things that are important and at the right time. 2. Your last instructional DVD (The Infallible Reason Of My Freak Drumming), is very practical with regard to the division of chapters. Did you choose this subdivision by yourself? Aquiles – Yes, I produced the DVD myself and it was based on things that I always studied. Everything I learned with Kiko Freitas at the time when I studied with him is included in the DVD. This goes beyond the exercises themselves because I’m talking about the conception of the work. Many people comment that the way in which the DVD is presented is very good and that makes me very happy. This DVD was released worldwide by Mel Bay Publishing and in 2011 was considered 3rd best instructional DVD of the year according to readers of Modern Drummer magazine . 3. How long did it take to complete it? Aquiles – I did a long pre-production, almost 15 days recording and rehearsing the whole script during 8 hours daily alone on a farm.

BY JOHN SWENSON It has been a long, vertiginous and damn exciting roller coaster ride for Rush over the past decade-and-a-half. The group has gone from being unabashed Led Zeppelinites to kings of the concept album to the thinking man's heavy metal band to an uneasy combination of eighties record­ ing styles and seventies relentlessness. One thing Rush has never done is rest on its collective laurels-bassist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart have always been the first to point out the band's shortcomings when they feel legitimate deficiencies have surfaced. Accordingly, Lee was quick to admit his dissatisfaction with the band's last album, Grace Under Pressure , even though the record , which went platinum, has con­ solidated the band's position as one of Mercury/Polygram's most important acts. "We realized with Grace Under Pres­ sure ," said Lee on completion of the new album , Power Windows, "that we were not a techno-pop band.

  • AQUILES PRIESTER Considered Best Brazilian Heavy Metal Drummer For
    AQUILES PRIESTER Considered best Brazilian heavy metal drummer for twelve years in a row by main specialized magazines and sites, in 2011 Aquiles Priester was the only Brazilian in the history of Brazilian drumming to rank 5th best Prog Metal drummer of the world according to American Modern Drummer magazine next to names such as Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison and Marco Minnemann. Aquiles Priester has already done more than 350 drum clinics in various countries and took part of the biggest drum festivals around the world such as Modern Drummer Festival (United States), Montreal Drum Fest (Canada), Batuka! International Drum Fest (Brazil), La Rioja Festival (Spain), Laguna Drum Fest (Mexico), London Drum Show and Drummer Live (England), International Summer Drum Camp (France), Thomas Lang’s Big Drum Bonanza (United States), Frankfurt Musikmesse (Germany) and Namm Show (United States). Born in South Africa, he moved to Brazil while still a child, spending his childhood and part of his adolescence in Foz do Iguaçu, a city in the state of Paraná. In 1988 he moved to Porto Alegre and in 1997 he founded heavy metal band Hangar where he began developing the style that would make him known worldwide. With Hangar he released five studio albums, an acoustic CD and a live acoustic DVD. The first parallel project while still with the band Hangar were some gigs with Tritone in 1999, a kind of Brazilian G3 with Edu Ardanuy, Frank Solari and Serj Buss. Soon after Aquiles was invited to record and go on tour with Paul Di’Anno, former Iron Maiden singer.

  • The Guitar Institute Teacher and Soundtrack Doer Lindsey Boullt Has Come True a Life's Dream with This Album
    Progressive Newsletter Review 092907 Lindsey Boullt – Composition (40:12, Privatpressung, 2007) Der Guitar Institute-Lehrer und Filmmusikmacher Lindsey Boullt hat sich mit diesem Album einen Lebenstraum erfüllt. Allein schon die einzigartige Gästeliste vermag allerdings auch höchste Erwartungen von Proghörern einzulösen: Hier geben sich Jerry Goodman (vln, u. a. The Flock, Mahavishnu Orchestra), Derek Sherinian (keyb., Ex-Dream Theater, Chroma Key, Planet X), Stu Hamm (bss, u. a. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Frank Gambale) und Atma Anur (drms, u. a. Tony MacAlpine, Richie Kotzen, Jason Becker, Cacophony, Doppler Inc., Greg Howe) ein Stelldichein. Doch „Composition“ ist mehr, als nur ein Projekt mit ganz großen Namen, es handelt sich hier Omen-mäßig eben auch um zwingende, geradezu in den Bann schlagende Kompositionen aus dem Umfeld Jazzrock, Progmetal und Weltmusik eindeutig orientalisch/indischer Prägung. Beispielsweise die Gitarren- (Tapping)/Keyboard-Duelle, die sich Boullt und Sherinian auf dem einleitenden „Page Revisited“ liefern, brauchen sich vor nichts auf dem legendären Shrapnel-Label Erschienenen zu verstecken. „Chasing the Whirling Dervish“ jagt überwiegend akustisch einen deutlich erkennbar aus der Mclaughlin-Zauberlampe entwichenen Dämon. Und bringt diesen mit Hilfe von Jerrys magischer Geige schließlich auch wunderbar zu einer Art von musikalischer Räson. Auf „Moving Panvishnu“ lässt derselbe Musikerhurricane das Barometer in die gleiche Richtung sacken, während Boullts Solo dann auf's Angenehmste Allan Holdsworth herbeizitiert. Stimmliche Beiträge vom in der Qawwali-/Sham Chorasi-Tradition singenden pakistanischen Künstler Sukhawat Ali Khan sind u. a. auf dem eindringlichen „Call for Peace“ vernehmlich. Stark anbefohlen für Fans von Mahavishnu, Shakti, Sherinian, The Flock, Curved Air. Erhältlich via iTunes, DigStation und www.lindseybullt.com/music.htm.

  • 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.
