    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.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 435 403 IR 057 553 AUTHOR Halliday, Blane TITLE An Examination of Essential Popular Music Compact Disc Holdings at the Cleveland Public Library. PUB DATE 1999-05-00 NOTE 94p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. Information Science. Appendices may not reproduce adequately. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Audiodisks; Discographies; *Library Collection Development; *Library Collections; *Optical Disks; *Popular Music; *Public Libraries; Research Libraries; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Cleveland Public Library OH ABSTRACT In the 1970s and early 1980s, a few library researchers and scholars made a case for the importance of public libraries' acquisition of popular music, particularly rock music sound recordings. Their arguments were based on the anticipated historical and cultural importance of obtaining and maintaining a collection of these materials. Little new research in this direction has been performed since then. The question arose as to what, if anything, has changed since this time. This question was answered by examining the compact disc holdings of the Cleveland Public Library, a major research-oriented facility. This examination was accomplished using three discographies of essential rock music titles, as well as recent "Billboard" Top 200 Album charts. The results indicated a strong orientation toward the acquisition of recent releases, with the "Billboard" charts showing the largest percentages of holdings for the system. Meanwhile, the holdings vis-a-vis the essential discographies ran directly opposite the "Billboard" holdings. This implies a program of short-term patron satisfaction by providing current "hits," while disregarding the long-term benefits of a collection based on demonstrated artistic relevance.

  • Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives
    1 Cultural Daily Independent Voices, New Perspectives Thundercat: Blurred Lines Redefine Musical Genres Tod Hardin · Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013 Stephen Bruner – AKA Thundercat – is truly one of the best new music finds I’ve come across in a very long time. For the past several years he’s been known in the industry as one of the most creative and innovative bass players in the world, and his virtuosity on the instrument has been a highly sought after commodity by a rather interesting mix of artists. As a teenager he replaced the legendary Robert Trujillo (now with Metallica) in the punk/metal band Suicidal Tendencies, and he would go on to record with Erykah Badu, as well as with the critically acclaimed experimental artist known as Flying Lotus. It gets even more interesting on the performance side, with stages having been shared the likes of Snoop Dog, Stanley Clarke and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Odd mix, but tasty. Equally impressive is his pedigree. His grandparents and mother were musicians, his father played drums for Diana Ross, The Temptations and Gladys Knight, and his brother, Ron, is a Grammy Award-winning drummer, composer and producer. Fun Fact: His Thundercat moniker is inspired by his obsession for the animated series Thundercats. What draws me to Thundercat, other than his obvious level of talent, is the inability to define him as any particular kind of recording artist. Funk, soul, prog rock, jazz fusion, thrash metal, punk, hip hop, experimental…They’ve all been a part of his journey thus far, and I have a feeling that he might just be responsible for inventing one or two new genres himself, before it’s all said and done.

  • Hellfest 2017 – Saturday
    Hellfest 2017 – Saturday After a dozen of fresh croissants with a addition of a cup of coffee, I started to plan my second day in hell, and I realized few things. Firstly, yesterday I decided I crossed the healthy limit of “seen” bands. Secondly, If I try to beat yesterday’s record, then the third day I can easily spend in emergency department. Thirdly, getting the overwhelming heat coming from above, I surely should cover my head. I promised myself that today won’t be only a battle for entry on the most viewed concerts, but also an escape from daily life. For good starters I planned to verify the good reputation of The Dead Daisies. Their members are a mix of musicians from bands like Motley Crue, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and even Billy Idol and Dio. Well, my a bit fatigued colleagues managed to get ready shortly before Phill Campbell and The Bastard Sons performance. Scene veteran Phill, with a company of youngsters played a sentimental but good, strong rock-and-roll concert. Campbell was a guitarist in Motorhead since 1984, until the death of Lemmy’s, so “using” his repertoire is a serious commercial move. The heritage of Motorhead will surely catch the attention of their long die-hard fans, but nonetheless it was an honest and true concert. Besides Campbell, his three sons are playing – Todd, Dane and Tyla. The vocalist of the band, Neil Starr, who was clearly under the jitters, still managed to convincingly play hits like “Killed By Death” and “Ace Of Spades”. There were also few surprises.
