    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.

  • SOUNDGARDEN Superunknown (Hard Rock)
    SOUNDGARDEN Superunknown (Hard Rock) Année de sortie : 1994 Nombre de pistes : 16 Durée : 70' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! Formé à Seattle, SOUNDGARDEN est généralement associé à la mouvance Grunge qui explose en 1991 avec NIRVANA et son album essentiel Nevermind. La musique du groupe emmené par le chanteur Chris CORNELL ne se résume toutefois pas à ce courant. Des similitudes peuvent être constatées, en premier lieu de par l’appartenance des deux formations à cette nouvelle scène de Seattle. Bruce PAVITT, fondateur du label Sub Pop, figure en effet parmi les amis du groupe, ce qui lui permet, avant NIRVANA, de devenir la première formation signée par l’incontournable officine Underground. Ensuite, la musique de SOUNDGARDEN est fréquemment caractérisée par la noirceur et la mélancolie. Cependant, Badmotorfinger, deuxième effort du groupe publié en 1991 par la compagnie nationale A & M, avec laquelle il vient de conclure un contrat avantageux, révèle des influences qui le rattachent davantage au Metal. L’album comporte de nombreuses compositions reposant sur des riffs plombés. Ainsi Jesus Christ Pose rappelle fortement LED ZEPPELIN, et le groupe paie sa dette à BLACK SABBATH sur le titre Slaves & Bulldozers. Après ce disque acclamé par la critique, SOUNDGARDEN connaîtra son apogée avec la sortie en 1994 de Superunknown, qui devient numéro un aux États-Unis avec trois millions d’exemplaires vendus.

Mestre em Turismo e Hotelaria. Coordenador do Curso Superior de Tecnologia em Gestão do Turismo Instituto Federal Farroupilha. RESUMO Os eventos em geral cada vez mais se encontram inseridos no cenário econômico de grandes destinações, sejam elas turísticas ou não. Por meio da implementação da produção e consumo da música, os eventos alavancam a economia local e contribuem significativamente no desenvolvimento das localidades nas quais se encontram inseridos. A presente pesquisa objetivou propor um modelo conceitual a ser utilizado no planejamento estratégico de megaeventos, analisando a sua estrutura desde a concepção, perpassando sua preparação e realização, até o encerramento total das atividades envolvidas. O resultado deste estudo aponta para a elaboração de um modelo conceitual com a finalidade de ilustrar as diferentes fases dos eventos que têm a música como facilitador da indústria do entretenimento. PALAVRAS CHAVE Gestão de Serviços. Evento. Entretenimento. Música. ABSTRACT Events are increasingly embedded in the economic scenario of large allocations, whether tourist or not. Through the implementation of production and consumption of music, events influence the local economy and contribute significantly to the development of the areas in which they are inserted. This research aimed to propose a conceptual model to be used in strategic planning for mega events, based on the supply chain of music, analyzing its structure from conception, passing their preparation and holding until the complete closure of the activities involved.

    Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i1.9en Live Recollections: Uses of the Past in U.S. Concert Life Steve Waksman [email protected] Smith College Abstract As an institution, the concert has long been one of the central mechanisms through which a sense of musical history is constructed and conveyed to a contemporary listening audience. Examining concert programs and critical reviews, this paper will briefly survey U.S. concert life at three distinct moments: in the 1840s, when a conflict arose between virtuoso performance and an emerging classical canon; in the 1910s through 1930s, when early jazz concerts referenced the past to highlight the music’s progress over time; and in the late twentieth century, when rock festivals sought to reclaim a sense of liveness in an increasingly mediatized cultural landscape. keywords: concerts, canons, jazz, rock, virtuosity, history. 1 During the nineteenth century, a conflict arose regarding whether concert repertories should dwell more on the presentation of works from the past, or should concentrate on works of a more contemporary character. The notion that works of the past rather than the present should be the focus of concert life gained hold only gradually over the course of the nineteenth century; as it did, concerts in Europe and the U.S. assumed a more curatorial function, acting almost as a living museum of musical artifacts. While this emphasis on the musical past took hold most sharply in the sphere of “high” or classical music, it has become increasingly common in the popular sphere as well, although whether it fulfills the same function in each realm of musical life remains an open question.

    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXIX Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – São Paulo - SP – 05 a 09/09/2016 Rock in Rio 2015: a performance das marcas dentro e fora dos palcos1 Danilo LIRA2 Eduardo RODRIGUES3 Gabriela LOHANA4 Maíra GOMES5 Paloma DE CASTRO6 Juliana SOUTO7 Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, PE RESUMO O Rock in Rio é tido como o maior festival de música do mundo e por isso atrai a atenção de grandes marcas que querem, de alguma forma, se associar com o evento e seu público. O que muitas vezes passa despercebido nesta ocasião é que a estratégia de promoção não é uma ferramenta exclusiva das empresas que se associam ao Rock in Rio, mas também dos artistas que fazem parte do seu line-up, uma vez que através das apresentações ao vivo, eles reverberaram algum tipo de impacto performático que acaba por fomentar a sua identidade de marca na dinâmica da indústria cultural (ADORNO; HORKHEIMER, 1997). Portanto, nossa análise consiste em contrapor a desenvoltura de algumas marcas e artistas na edição do Rock in Rio 2015, apontando novos direcionamentos da técnica de promoção de marca (ROBERTS, 2004). PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Rock in Rio; Branded Content; Indústria Cultural, Música, Ação Promocional. INTRODUÇÃO Desde sua primeira edição em 1985, o Rock in Rio já conta com 16 outras edições: seis no Brasil, seis em Portugal, três na Espanha e uma nos Estados Unidos, mesclando na sua programação artistas de estilos musicais que variam do rock, que 1 Trabalho apresentado na Divisão

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

Soundgarden, a purported Washington General Partnership, Kim A. Thayil, Matt D. Cameron, Hunter Benedict Shepherd, Rit Venerus and Cal Financial Group, Inc., Defendants. ______________________________________________/ COMPLAINT Plaintiff, Vicky Cornell, individually and in her capacity as the personal representative of the Estate of Christopher John Cornell (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) through counsel, hereby files the following complaint against the defendants, Soundgarden, Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Hunter Benedict Shepherd, Rit Venerus and Cal Financial Group, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”). I. INTRODUCTION “Everybody out for my blood, everybody want my percent … They just want to take what is mine, how much more can they get.” - Sweet Revenge 1. In 2009, Chris Cornell penned these lyrics about his former Soundgarden bandmates after they unlawfully (and unsuccessfully) attempted to deprive him of his rights in connection with the valuable musical works that he created for the band. Ten years later, and after Chris’ untimely passing, these lyrics hauntingly resonate as his former bandmates, once Case 1:19-cv-25045-JEM Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/09/2019 Page 2 of 24 again, have attempted to “take what is his” – or, more aptly, to steal from his widow and minor children. This wrongful conduct shockingly started shortly after Chris’ untimely death and ultimately forced his widow, Vicky Cornell, to bring this lawsuit.
