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. -
Charris Efthimiou Metallica's Tone Colour Characteristics of Their Riffs
Charris Efthimiou Metallica’s Tone Colour Characteristics of their Riffs (1983–1986) and the Differences between Slayer and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal Annotation The aim of this article is to consider the design of the riffs of Angel of Death and other songs from the first three albums by Slayer (Show No Mercy 1983, Hell Awaits 1985 and Reign in Blood 1986) from a music analytical point of view (including tone-colour analysis of the riffs). If Slayer’s riff design (from 1983 to 1986) is considered from an overall perspective, the following results can be observed: • A rapid tempo and a constant change in the tone-colours of the guitar (palm mute, powerchords and monophonic melodies) characterise the sound of most riffs from the first three albums of this band. • Although the number of tone colours is limited, exact repetitions of tone colours are avoided. • Melodies in thirds, sixths and octaves are rare. At the same time (1983–1986) and in the same geographic area (U.S. West Coast), the band Metallica found their own compositional path within the thrash metal genre. Although the two bands dedicate their songs to very different topics, there are significant proximity points in the section of riff design. The same music-analytical methods (such as the analysis of tone- colours) are used with Metallica again. Thus, on the one hand, correlations can be determined and special features unique with Slayer’s music can be highlighted on the other. Furthermore, in order to determine other similarities and differences, the riffs of Metallica and Slayer will be compared with riffs by bands belonging to the NWoBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) and were active in the years 1983–1986 (including Iron Maiden and Motörhead). -

Talk Into Tune
Talk into tune When Toronto musician Charles Spearin asked his neighbours about happiness, he didn't just listen to their answers - he turned them into songs CARL WILSON From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009 4:45PM EST Last updated on Thursday, Apr. 09, 2009 11:39PM EDT As a piano-trumpet duo skitters around her, a person with a pleasant professional accent talks about her work with “challenged young women” who tell her “all the time” that they're happy. “Some of their expectations are so simplistic – not to say simplicity because they're challenged … ” Then the thought strikes: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” Immediately the voice repeats: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” And again: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” At which point the music makes its own breakthrough. Keyboard and horn link arms with bass and drums and kick out a chorus to the precise tune and tempo of the woman's words. You can almost see her with brass band and challenged charges on parade through New Orleans, fanfaring their be-here-now anthem – sing it, sister! – It's Like They Don't Ask Beyond of What's Present! This is Anna, Track 2 of The Happiness Project, the first solo album by Toronto musician Charles Spearin, which was released yesterday. Actually, solo is a misnomer. A multi-instrumentalist with tight-knit space-rock ensemble Do Make Say Think as well as that legions-strong study in socio-rockology, the popular band Broken Social Scene, Spearin prefers company – in this case, his whole neighbourhood.
