    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.

    PROGRAMME LUC PLAMONDON Parolier Né à Saint-Raymond de Portneuf, Luc Plamondon est initié très jeune au monde de la musique. Sa tante Augustine lui apprendra le piano et lui fera jouer des rôles dans des opérettes. ll commence secrètement à écrire des chansons et des pièces de théâtre à son adolescence. Dix ans plus tard, après de longues études à Québec, Montréal, Paris, Londres, Berlin, Rome et à Grenades, il se retrouve aux États-Unis. Suivra une année d’errance. À New York, il se gave de comédies musicales, puis, à San Francisco, il tombe sous le choc de Hair, le premier rock musical, l’étincelle qui l’amènera dix ans plus tard à écrire Starmania, dont la création à Paris sera dirigée par... Tom O’Horgan, le célèbre metteur en scène original de Hair. C’est en revenant à Montréal qu’il écrit sa première chanson Dans ma Camaro, qui sera le hit de l'été 70. C’est en Diane Dufresne cependant qu’il trouvera son interprète fétiche, pour qui il écrira 75 chansons. Considéré comme le premier parolier rock de la langue française, il est appelé dans les années 70 - 80 à travailler, entre autres, avec Julien Clerc, Robert Charlebois, Françoise Hardy, Johnny Hallyday et Ginette Reno. En 1978, l’opéra rock Starmania (musique de Michel Berger) sort sur disque avec Diane Dufresne, France Gall, Fabienne Thibeault, Nanette Workman, Daniel Balavoine et Claude Dubois. Le spectacle est créé sur scène en 1979 au Palais des Congrès de Paris. Le succès immédiat et toujours grandissant des chansons de Starmania a donné lieu à de multiples productions dans différents pays au cours des quatre dernières décennies qui totalisent plus de 6 millions de spectateurs et autant d’albums.

  • 12X5 / the Rolling Stones (No. 2)
    12x5 and Rolling Stones No. 2 ALO Andrew Loog Oldham probably does not get the credit he deserves for forming the early and lasting image of the Stones as the bad boys of rock and roll. One of his primary vehicles for doing this was through the early album art produced for Rolling Stones albums. He invited controversy with his liner notes and he legitimized the Stones role in the Swinging London scene by having a well-established artist like David Bailey photograph the Stones for the second US and second UK releases. Oldham’s album covers set the Stones on the course of courting controversy over the years. In the early days it was his intentional design. It began with the record company and Oldham’s controversial insistence on leaving their first album nameless. It continued on their second UK release with Oldham’s screed on the back of the album. Every record tells a story and the album cover is an integral part of that story. That started in earnest with Rolling Stones No. 2. Putting a Stones album out was already complicated. And It Was About To Get More Complicated Things were getting complicated with Rolling Stones album releases on opposite sides of the Atlantic. In the UK the Stones first album was followed by the extended play (EP) 5X5, released August 14, 1964. The title was an obvious and unimaginative play on words, five tracks played by five band members. Notice no title or band name on the front of the cover. Oldham said, “5x5 was culled from the London, the US branch of Decca said EPs were not Chess sessions.

    AUSTRALIAN RECORD LABELS WARNER BROS. / WEA RECORDS 1970 to 1982 COMPILED BY MICHAEL DE LOOPER © BIG THREE PUBLICATIONS, APRIL 2019 WARNER BROS. / WEA RECORDS, 1970–1982 A BRIEF WARNER BROS. / WEA HISTORY WIKIPEDIA TELLS US THAT... WEA’S ROOTS DATE BACK TO THE FOUNDING OF WARNER BROS. RECORDS IN 1958 AS A DIVISION OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES. IN 1963, WARNER BROS. RECORDS PURCHASED FRANK SINATRA’S REPRISE RECORDS. AFTER WARNER BROS. WAS SOLD TO SEVEN ARTS PRODUCTIONS IN 1967 (FORMING WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS), IT PURCHASED ATLANTIC RECORDS AS WELL AS ITS SUBSIDIARY ATCO RECORDS. IN 1969, THE WARNER BROS.-SEVEN ARTS COMPANY WAS SOLD TO THE KINNEY NATIONAL COMPANY. KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL (LATER CHANGING ITS NAME TO WARNER COMMUNICATIONS) COMBINED THE OPERATIONS OF ALL OF ITS RECORD LABELS, AND KINNEY CEO STEVE ROSS LED THE GROUP THROUGH ITS MOST SUCCESSFUL PERIOD, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1994. IN 1969, ELEKTRA RECORDS BOSS JAC HOLZMAN APPROACHED ATLANTIC'S JERRY WEXLER TO SET UP A JOINT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK FOR WARNER, ELEKTRA, AND ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC RECORDS ALSO AGREED TO ASSIST WARNER BROS. IN ESTABLISHING OVERSEAS DIVISIONS, BUT RIVALRY WAS STILL A FACTOR —WHEN WARNER EXECUTIVE PHIL ROSE ARRIVED IN AUSTRALIA TO BEGIN SETTING UP AN AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDIARY, HE DISCOVERED THAT ONLY ONE WEEK EARLIER ATLANTIC HAD SIGNED A NEW FOUR-YEAR DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH FESTIVAL RECORDS. IN MARCH 1972, KINNEY MUSIC INTERNATIONAL WAS RENAMED WEA MUSIC INTERNATIONAL. DURING THE 1970S, THE WARNER GROUP BUILT UP A COMMANDING POSITION IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. IN 1970, IT BOUGHT ELEKTRA (FOUNDED BY HOLZMAN IN 1950) FOR $10 MILLION, ALONG WITH THE BUDGET CLASSICAL MUSIC LABEL NONESUCH RECORDS.
