  • 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.

Foreigner is among the top 40 best-selling music artists of all time, according to Business Insider magazine. The group is universally known as one of the most popular acts in the rock world with a playlist that continues to sell out tours and albums. While the band has been around for more than 40 years, a younger generation is exposed to the band’s music through popular films and television shows such as, “Rock of Ages,” “Orange Is The New Black,” “Kung Fu Panda 3,” and “Stranger Things.” Foreigner is best known for anthems such as, “Juke Box Hero,” “Cold As Ice,” “Feels Like the First Time,” “I Want to Know What Love Is,” and “Waiting for a Girl Like You.” Joan Jett is an originator, an innovator, and a visionary. As the leader of the hard- rocking Blackhearts, with whom she has become a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, she’s had eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles, including the classics "Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock 'N' Roll," "I Hate Myself For Loving You," and "Crimson and Clover." Her independent record label, Blackheart, was founded in 1980 after she was rejected by no less than 23 labels.

  • Benny's Road to ABBA
    Excerpt from the book »Benny’s Road To ABBA« © Premium Publishing 2004 Meeting Björn IN THE MID-SIXTIES there must have been few contrasts greater than that between work- ing in a bank and touring with a rock band. Working days starting and ending at normal office hours, the sound of clattering calculators, discreet financial transactions, low-key conversations – as opposed to »days« that started in the afternoon and ended in the early hours of the morning, shouting and screaming, loud rock’n’roll, long car rides, con- stantly new hotels. But that was the contrast that young Thomas Nordlund had to face when he quit his secure job at the bank in Uppsala to take care of The Hep Stars’ brand new production company, Hep House. For the first thing he did was to throw himself right into events and spend 10 days with the band on their second folkpark tour. A year had passed since Thomas helped The Hep Stars with the Tio i topp »coup«, which resulted in three songs on the chart. Later in 1965, through his friendship with Lennart Hegland, Thomas had got a job at Europa-Produktion for a couple of months. Although his time with the company was brief, he learned a lot about showbusiness from Åke Gerhard and his associates. His task was to book gigs for the acts signed to the pro- duction company, and his own contribution to that procedure was not insignificant. At the time, the folkpark arrangers implemented an extremely severe rule, which stipulated that if an act arrived late, the arrangers could make a deduction on the fee.

  • Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
    Joan Jett & the Blackhearts By Jaan Uhelszki As leader of her hard-rockin’ band, Jett has influenced countless young women to pick up guitars - and play loud. IF YOU HAD TO SIT DOWN AND IMAGINE THE IDEAL female rocker, what would she look like? Tight leather pants, lots of mascara, black (definitely not blond) hair, and she would have to play guitar like Chuck Berry’s long-lost daughter. She wouldn’t look like Madonna or Taylor Swift. Maybe she would look something like Ronnie Spector, a little formidable and dangerous, definitely - androgynous, for sure. In fact, if you close your eyes and think about it, she would be the spitting image of Joan Jett. ^ Jett has always brought danger, defiance, and fierceness to rock & roll. Along with the Blackhearts - Jamaican slang for loner - she has never been afraid to explore her own vulnerabilities or her darker sides, or to speak her mind. It wouldn’t be going too far to call Joan Jett the last American rock star, pursuing her considerable craft for the right reason: a devo­ tion to the true spirit of the music. She doesn’t just love rock & roll; she honors it. ^ Whether she’s performing in a blue burka for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, working for PETA, or honoring the slain Seattle singer Mia Zapata by recording a live album with Zapata’s band the Gits - and donating the proceeds to help fund the investigation of Zapata’s murder - her motivation is consistent. Over the years, she’s acted as spiritual advisor to Ian MacKaye, Paul Westerberg, and Peaches.

  • THE SCANERS: Alien 'Gonzo-Punks' Plot Second Album Invasion, Drop New 'Galactic' Track
    Mar 08, 2019 03:49 GMT THE SCANERS: Alien 'Gonzo-Punks' Plot Second Album Invasion, Drop New 'Galactic' Track France’s favourite gonzo-punks from outer-space return for their second album. The Scaners, lovers of all things extra-terrestrial, return for their second album on Dirty Water Records. Simply titled II, the album builds excellently on their 2018 debut, an album that made many ‘best of 2018’ lists. Whilst they maintain the chaotic synth-punk sound of their first album, their new record also brings in a more new-wave style that suits them perfectly. The result is a record that is as out of control as it is danceable, especially when the instruments align behind the pulsing organ to follow the same grooves and rhythms. X-Ray Glasses: On, one of the stand-out tracks, fits this idea perfectly. Leaving more space in the usually frenetic rhythm, pulling off slightly from the distortion, they are left with a real earworm of a song. Lead song Random City 2099 is another great example of the way, when they pull the instruments together, the band create a catchy groove to follow. View embedded content here Although it seems like this time the band have set out in search of more accessible sounds, they have in no way abandoned the sensation of dense paranoia that characterised and triumphed on their debut. Songs like Please Abduct Me and Don’t Run, We’re Friends maintain the same punk style that won so many fans over in 2018. When they let the guitar take free rein, such as on Galactic Race and Pesticide Kids, they add another dimension of weirdness that spurts out, adding to their ingrained craziness.

  • Living Like a Runaway: a Memoir PDF Book
    LIVING LIKE A RUNAWAY: A MEMOIR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Lita Ford | 272 pages | 07 Apr 2016 | HarperCollins Publishers Inc | 9780062270641 | English | New York, United States Living Like a Runaway: A Memoir PDF Book I love the fact that Lita's parents supported her in what she wanted out of life. But I have to wonder if her actions made it easy for them to think of her as just another groupie who happened to play guitar. She also has a real tendency to blame everyone else for her career not working as well as she'd hoped, especially following the success of "Kiss Me Deadly". It's nice to read about her putting her life and career back together following those events, even if she does have an exaggerated view of her own importance in rock history. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. The storytelling is amateurish, with confusing chronology even from paragraph to paragraph. At age 16 Lita Ford played guitar at her own birthday party drawing a huge crowd, and eventually the police. Like literally, the only one. Entertaining - needed better editing. You had to be tough to deal with the rivalries, the unrestrained tension of performing, recording, and living with a bunch of fickle, frightened, and vulnerable teenage girls, most of whom coped by drinking and drugging their troubles away while lying to their parents about keeping up with their schoolwork. Montana was great at first, but twelve years and three children later, I felt as trapped as I had in Indiana.
