    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.

  • EDITORIAL BLITZ! Numéro 17
    EDITORIALEDITORIAL BLITZ!BLITZ! numéronuméro 1717 La transition entre les années 2015 et 2016 a été marquée par deux décès majeurs dans le monde de la musique moderne et populaire que nous aimons : Ian « Lemmy » Frazer Kilmister, fondateur de Motörhead, et David Bowie, artiste aux talents multiples, ont pris le grand départ pour l’au-delà. Nous avons décidé de consacrer notre dossier à Motörhead, projet musical dont nous admirons la constance affichée pendant quarante ans, et qu’il serait très réducteur d’affubler de la seule étiquette heavy metal. Quant à David Bowie, l’influence qu’il a exercée sur beaucoup d’artistes que nous aimons, parmi lesquels Ian Curtis, le rend forcément incontournable dans un très prochain numéro de BLITZ! Fort heureusement, le présent numéro de votre webzine n’est pas qu’une rubrique nécrologique : vous y trouverez aussi des interviews et des articles consacrés à des artistes bien vivants, dont les têtes fourmillent de projets. Bonne lecture et merci pour votre fidélité ! Général Hiver BLITZ! numéro 17 – 1er trimestre 2016 1 TELEX – BLITZ! numéro 17 – Par le Général Hiver Le label français Unknown Pleasures propose une compilation hommage au duo new-yorkais Suicide, pionner de la musique électronique et incarnation du slogan do it yourself cher aux punks. La setlist rassemble des noms prestigieux : Gabi Delgado s’associe à Adan & Ilse dans une cover très réussie de « Girl ».Les reprises les plus remarquables sont, à notre avis, celles de Distel (qui offre une version funèbre de « Che »), et de Laag, dont le « Rain of Ruin » très new wave nous a ravis, Le morceau « Ghostrider » est quant à lui présent trois fois, la version d’In Death It Ends, quoique réussie, n’a pas l’intensité urbaine de son homologue, proposée par..

  • The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
    THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people.

  • Reportage : MOTORHEAD : Rock'n'roll Bastards MOTORHEAD Est
    Reportage : MOTORHEAD : Rock'n'Roll bastards MOTORHEAD est à la musique ce que son fondateur est à la médecine : une énigme. En bientôt quatre décennies d’existence, MOTORHEAD a connu tant de revers, de trahisons, de coups bas, d’incompréhension, de changements de line-up, s’est retrouvé à la rue on ne sait combien de fois… que le groupe aurait dû, s’il y avait une réelle logique aux choses, disparaître depuis bien longtemps. Tout comme Lemmy, aux dires du corps médical… La vie en a décidé autrement. 1975. Ian Fraser KILMINSTER, alias Lemmy, retrouve sa terre natale anglaise après s’être fait éjecter de HAWKWIND pour possession de drogues (« des mauvaises drogues », dira-t-il plus tard) lors d’un contrôle douanier à la frontière canadienne. Il en faut plus pour démotiver l’ancien roadie de Jimi HENDRIX qui décide de monter son propre groupe, qu’il souhaite d’abord appeler BASTARDS. Mais un management avisé le persuade qu’avec un tel patronyme, Lemmy ne passera jamais à Top Of The Pops. Le bassiste/chanteur choisi alors le nom de la dernière chanson qu’il a écrite pour HAWKWIND : Motörhead. Le groupe est alors composé, outre son fondateur, du guitariste Larry WALLIS et du batteur Lucas FOX, le trio étant managé Dave EDMUNDS. Ce dernier s’attèle à la promotion de son nouveau poulain et parvient à faire entrer MOTORHEAD dans l’écurie de United Artists. Le trio entre alors en studio pour enregistrer son premier album qui ne satisfait pas le label, United décidant de ne pas commercialiser On Parole.

Our first Boston show was with DYS, The Mighty COs and The AMERICA’S HARDCORE FU’s. It was very intense for us. We were so intimidated. Future generations will fuck up again THE OUTPATIENTS got started in 1982 by Deep Wound bassist Scott Helland At least we can try and change the one we’re in and his older brother Eric “Vis” Helland, guitarist/vocalist of Mace — a 1980-82 — Deep Wound, “Deep Wound” Metal group that played like Motörhead but dug Black Flag (a rare blend back then). The Outpatients opened for bands like EAST COAST Black Flag, Hüsker Dü and SSD. Flipside called ’em “one of the most brutalizing live bands In 1980, over-with small cities and run-down mill towns across the Northeast from the period.” 1983’s gnarly Basement Tape teemed with bored kids with nothing to do. Punk of any kind earned a cultural demo included credits that read: “Play loud in death sentence in the land of stiff upper-lipped Yanks.
