    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.

  • Bad Company Biography
    BAD COMPANY BIOGRAPHY One of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era, England's Bad Company has put its indelible stamp on rock 'n' roll with a straight- ahead, no-frills musical approach that has resulted in the creation of some of the most timeless rock anthems ever. Led by the incomparable singer and songwriter Paul Rodgers, arguably the finest singer in rock 'n ' roll and a huge songwriting talent. Formed in 1973, Bad Company came to life when Rodgers was looking to start anew after the disintegration of his legendary band Free. His powerhouse vocals and songwriting were a main ingredient during Free's impressive five-year run; a period of time that saw the release of seven extremely influential albums that featured Free's minimalist blues-rock approach. Included among Free's dynamic body of work is the 1970 smash, "All Right Now," one of the most recognizable rock anthems ever recorded. Lyrics and melody by Rodgers. He was Free’s main songwriter. Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label. "I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company," explains Rodgers.

  • The Twenty Greatest Music Concerts I've Ever Seen
    THE TWENTY GREATEST MUSIC CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN Whew, I'm done. Let me remind everyone how this worked. I would go through my Ipod in that weird Ipod alphabetical order and when I would come upon an artist that I have seen live, I would replay that concert in my head. (BTW, since this segment started I no longer even have an ipod. All my music is on my laptop and phone now.) The number you see at the end of the concert description is the number of times I have seen that artist live. If it was multiple times, I would do my best to describe the one concert that I considered to be their best. If no number appears, it means I only saw that artist once. Mind you, I have seen many artists live that I do not have a song by on my Ipod. That artist is not represented here. So although the final number of concerts I have seen came to 828 concerts (wow, 828!), the number is actually higher. And there are "bar" bands and artists (like LeCompt and Sam Butera, for example) where I have seen them perform hundreds of sets, but I counted those as "one," although I have seen Lecompt in "concert" also. Any show you see with the four stars (****) means they came damn close to being one of the Top Twenty, but they fell just short. So here's the Twenty. Enjoy and thanks so much for all of your input. And don't sue me if I have a date wrong here and there.

  • ARTS V- Entertainment
    ARTS V- entertainment Titian Schlummernde Venus” (1510) Erotica? Pornography? Who Sees What? rt and the erotic and/or pornographic image have maintained a long and in­ cestuous alliance. Indeed, perhaps the first known work of sculpture recovered, the Paleolithic “ Venus of Wildendorf” reflects in a size somewhat larger than a person’s thumb a avoluptuous fem ale form radiating with sexual potency. The representation of woman as sexual goddess has continued to preoccupy virtually every cultural epoch. Our own age is no ex­ ception. In fact, images of women in a sexual context have become so alarmingly com­ monplace that one is coerced into endorsing it. And that is precisely why the accelerated ex­ ploitation of these images through the media is so insidious. A naked woman lying suggestively upon a bed is a scene celebrated and culturally legitamatized by Titian, Rembrandt, Goya, Watteau, Manet and just about every other greater or lesser talent that has applied paint to a surface. This particular kind of image has become so ingrained in us that we accept and even pay homage to it as part of our history. In both a high and low art form people of both sexes continue to help foster and encourage it. The men who buy Playboy and the women who buy Cosmopolitan are, in truth, purchasing one and the same image. In fact, we have become so saturated with these images that they tend to cancel one another out, leaving us benumbed to their subtle manipulation. This is commonplace, a fam iliar aspect of everyday life.

  • The Hooters + Nordman = Bazilian & Wester
    2011-02-01 11:30 CET The Hooters + Nordman = Bazilian & Wester Den internationellt framgångsrike artisten och låtskrivaren Eric Bazilian, bosatt i Philadelphia, är kanske mest känd från gruppen The Hooters, som haft många stora hits och sålt miljontals album internationellt. Eric har också skrivit hits med och till andra exempelvis Joan Osborne, till vilken han skrev världshiten One Of Us. Mats Wester är förstås skaparen, kompositören och motorn bakom folkpoppionjärerna Nordman, som sålt över en miljon album bara i Sverige och haft många hits sedan genombrottet 1994. Wester & Bazilians musik har växt fram under en lång period och innehåller det bästa av båda världar. Starka pop- och rocklåtar möter skandinavisk och amerikansk folkton och skapar mustig folkrock med lekfullhet och djup. Spår av både The Hooters och Nordman kan höras musiken. Här är det dock Bazilians passionerade rockröst och engelska texter som är i centrum. Mycket är skrivet ur en vuxen man och förälders perspektiv, men med lite humor och självdistans, berättar Wester. Resultatet är ett medryckande album med djup, driv och naturlig hitkänsla. Första smakprovet från den kommande plattan är ”Bigger Than Bossa Nova” som redan nu finns på Spotify och iTunes. ”Bigger Than The Bossa Nova” officiella video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy6T5a1y4aE Hemsida: www.bazilianwester.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/pages/BazilianWester/159160720768235 Moore To Bebygger personliga varumärken.
