    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.

  • Wishbone Ash – Twin Barrels Burning + Raw
    Wishbone Ash – Twin Barrels Burning + Raw To The Bone (Rereleases) (53:30, 39:40 / 57:35, 44:20, CD, Picture-Vinyl, Cherry Red, 2018) Zugegeben zählen beide Releases der Twin-Guitars nicht unbedingt zu den Sternstunden von Wishbone Ash – weder von den Songs noch vom Cover, welche grenzwertig („Twin Barrels Burning“) bis absolut vergeigt („To The Bone“) daherkommen. Die Band war in den Achtzigern angekommen – kein gutes Jahrzehnt für sie, obwohl man mit einem Album wie „Just Testing“ noch ganz gut begann, da es mit Songperlen wie ‚Living Proof‘ und ‚Helpless‘ aufwarten konnte. Auffallend war weiterhin der Verschleiß an Bassisten. Der in Proggerkreisen geschätzte John Wetton hatte 1981 für das Album „Number The Brave“ das Gründungsmitglied Martin Turner ersetzt. Es folgte Trevor Bolder (Uriah Heep) auf „Twin Barrels Burning“ und Mervyn Spence (Trapeze) auf „Raw To The Bone“. Das Jahrzehnt klang schließlich mit Andy Pyle (The Kinks) aus, der überdies auch noch einmal ausgetauscht wurde. Und das vom wieder in die Band hinzustoßenden Urmitglied Turner. Eben diese Unbeständigkeit färbte auch auf die Produktionen ab, die leider kaum noch etwas mit der Extravaganz zu tun hat, welche ja Wishbone Ash zu einer der erfolgreichsten Rock-Acts der Siebziger gemacht hatte. Mit Andy Powell und Schlagzeuger Steve Upton waren zwar noch Musiker aus der Anfangszeit präsent – ebenso ein Laurie Wisefield, der die Ash-Alben seit dem genialen „There’s The Rub“ gitarrentechnisch veredelte, aber irgendwie war von der ehemaligen melodiösen Energie kaum noch etwas zu spüren. Beide Platten enthalten Hardrocksongs Marke Nullachtfuffzehn und können leider kaum jemanden vom Hocker reißen. Immerhin hat sich das Remaster gelohnt, da die Werke tatsächlich klangtechnisch aufgemöbelt wurden.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 109 APRIL 20TH, 2020 This issue’s cover: Judy Garland (1922 – 1969). One of the most iconic actresses, recording artists and performers of all time. Though haunted by personal struggles, she attained greatness that few ever achieved. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue. Like everyone else, we at Copper have been impacted by the coronavirus, whether by disruption in our work and home lives to financial impact, stress, anxiety and writer’s block. And yes, one of us contracted the virus – thankfully, he’s doing OK. So, over the next few issues you might see some changes – temporary absence of some writers, a different balance of articles and other differences from the usual. We trust you’ll understand, and we look forward to when these pages, and our lives, reach a new equilibrium. It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Stereophile deputy editor Art Dudley. He was one of the finest men ever to grace the audio industry. My tribute to him is in these pages. Also in this issue: Rich Isaacs begins a series on Italian progressive rock with a look at the great PFM (Premiata Forneria Marconi). Ken Sander takes us on a wild rock and roll ride with Eric Burdon and War. Professor Larry Schenbeck continues his series on immersive sound. WL Woodward gets jazzed about bass. John Seetoo concludes his series on legendary Yellow Magic Orchestra/film composer/techno-pop pioneer Ryuichi Sakamoto. In a special report we ask audio companies how they’re responding to the COVID-19 crisis.
