  • Justin Bieber Featuring Slipknot
    JUSTIN BIEBER FEATURING SLIPKNOT: Consumption as Mode of Production Ragnhild Brøvig-Hanssen A musical mash-up typically consists of two recognizable recordings that are synchronized such that the vocal(s) of one track are combined with an instrumental version of the other without significant edits.1 The ontological presence of a mash-up band is thus only to be found in the virtual domain––that is, the artists in question have never actually performed together. The virtual music collaborations enabled by mash-up producers invite us to encounter the musical result in ways that are very different from those we apply to non- virtual music collaborations, and, as scholars, we are therefore compelled to analyze the music in a different way as well. Moreover, mash-up music encourages us to rethink what musical authorship, creativity, and musicality means to us today. Because mash-ups often consist of nothing but macro-samples, and often simply of two full-length samples that have hardly been edited at all, mash-up producers have been criticized for lacking talent and creativity; for example, McLeod writes: “Despite my appreciation of them, I do not mean to idealise mash-ups because, as a form of creativity, they are quite limited and limiting.”2 This perspective might also help to explain why scholars usually approach the musical mash-up from a sociological or juridical orientation with a focus on its extramusical features, and, in 1 I am very grateful to Anne Danielsen, Hedda Høgåsen-Hallesby, Nils Nadeau, and Sheila Whiteley for their insightful comments on this chapter.

  • Subjectivity in American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, the Body, the Grotesque, and the Child
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Glasgow Theses Service Subjectivity In American Popular Metal: Contemporary Gothic, The Body, The Grotesque, and The Child. Sara Ann Thomas MA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts University of Glasgow January 2009 © Sara Thomas 2009 Abstract This thesis examines the subject in Popular American Metal music and culture during the period 1994-2004, concentrating on key artists of the period: Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Tura Satana and My Ruin. Starting from the premise that the subject is consistently portrayed as being at a time of crisis, the thesis draws on textual analysis as an under appreciated approach to popular music, supplemented by theories of stardom in order to examine subjectivity. The study is situated in the context of the growing area of the contemporary gothic, and produces a model of subjectivity specific to this period: the contemporary gothic subject. This model is then used throughout to explore recurrent themes and richly symbolic elements of the music and culture: the body, pain and violence, the grotesque and the monstrous, and the figure of the child, representing a usage of the contemporary gothic that has not previously been attempted. Attention is also paid throughout to the specific late capitalist American cultural context in which the work of these artists is situated, and gives attention to the contradictions inherent in a musical form which is couched in commodity culture but which is highly invested in notions of the ‘Alternative’. In the first chapter I propose the model of the contemporary gothic subject for application to the work of Popular Metal artists of the period, drawing on established theories of the contemporary gothic and Michel Foucault’s theory of confession.

It takes mucho cojones—18 of them, apparently—to stage a giant, carnival-like festival for your first live appearance in a foreign country, and that's exactly what SLIPKNOT did in December of 2015 when they held the seventh Knotfest in Toluca, Mexico (about an hour's drive west of Mexico City). The band's performance was captured on the just-released "Day Of The Gusano" , but instead of being advertised as a live DVD or concert film, "Gusano" (Spanish for "maggot", a word long ago appropriated by the band to describe its fans) has been described as a "documentary". Don't be misled, however, for around four-fifths of its 90-minute running time, "Gusano" , which was screened in select theaters around the world, shows SLIPKNOT performing a 16-song set before an enormous, passionate crowd. (For reasons unknown, the DVD and Blu-ray editions rearrange the track listing from the audio-only release. That version showcases the group's complete 17-song set in the same order in which it was performed, and omits "People = Shit" .) The remaining quarter-hour or so primarily features snippets of interviews with unmasked band members and a handful of unidentified Mexican fans, with both camps attempting to portray the group's arrival in town as a Really.

  • Slipknot – Iowa (2001)
    Slipknot – Iowa (2001) Album named after the band's home state of Iowa Bio of the band: Slipknot is a heavy-metal band consisting of nine members, all of whom are male, who became popular because of its extreme music and dramatic stage performances. This group was first formed in the late 1995 in the unlikely locale of Des Moines, IA. It had 3 percussionists, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a DJ, a sampler and a lead singer. Aside from their real names, members of the band are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8 and each of them also wears a mask, which they said is part of their personality, like an extension of their body. To explain that, all the group members believe that wearing the masks shows more of what they are like inside and what the music does to them inside. Members include: #1 Joey Jordon- drums (1995-2013) # 2 Paul Gray- bass (1995-2010) #3 Chris Fehn- percussion (1998– present) #4 Jim Root – guitar (1999 – present) #5 Craig Jones - samples (1996 – present) #6 Shawn Crahan -percussion (1995 – present) #7 Mick Thompson -guitar (1996 – present) #8 Corey Taylor - vocals (1997 – present) #9 Sid Wilson - DJ (1998 – present) Iowa Biography: The state of Iowa is probably best known as "the middle of nowhere." Most non-residents consider it the corn-and-pig-state, a geographical black hole. After a couple years of relentless touring in support of their self-titled breakthrough album, Slipknot regrouped to record Iowa, an ode to their home state that consolidates and punctuates everything that had garnered the band its cultish following.

    Profil ROY STONE SOUR MAYORGA LE CHAOS MAITRISE Quand on parle de « cogneur », le nom de Roy Mayorga s’impose. Ancien complice de Max Cavalera, Roy a bâti sa réputation au sein du groupe Soulfly à la fin des années 90, avant de rejoindre brièvement Sepultura en 2006. La même année, il rejoint Stone Sour, l’autre groupe de Corey Taylor (tête pensante de Slipknot), avec lequel il connaît la consécration.
