If one were to break it down, what Mitch did, it was like being a glorified hall monitor sometimes. The Grand Am had pulled to a stop next to the fence border- ing the patio area at Alrosa Villa. The low-key, stucco-sided building had been hosting heavy metal shows in Columbus, Ohio, for more than three decades. Albert Catuela and his wife, Rosa—hence the name “Alrosa”—opened the club in 1974 and just about every hard-rock band worth a damn had graced (if that word was appropriate) the stage since then. The driver of the Grand Am, a burly six-foot-something with a shaved head, had been heading for Alrosa Villa’s front door, probably in search of tickets for tonight’s show. He’d have to wait. Mitch turned him around and made him move his car. Mitch walked back to his post in the parking lot. It was only 9 P.M., but he’d already been working for almost three hours. vii 0306815249-Crain.qxd:Layout 1 3/16/09 10:58 AM Page viii viii – INTRODUCTION Having his brother, David, here with him, working security in the parking lot, too, might make the time pass a little quicker, but it didn’t do a damn thing about the weather. If winter wasn’t here yet, it was at least close enough to count. Maybe later he would duck inside, get out of the chill, and check out some of the show. Two of the guys from Pantera were in a new band that was headlining tonight and—wait. Christ. Now the red Grand Am was parked by Alrosa’s sign, which, besides marking the club’s location off Sinclair Road, also happened to be a no-parking zone. Dammit. What did he want, valet parking? Mitch waved the driver away: “Hey, can’t park there either.” The beefy guy at the wheel nodded and—again— eased out of his illegal space without putting up a fight. Maybe it was going to be one of those nights, a trying shift that found Mitch having to practically hold everyone’s hand like a kindergarten teacher. Or maybe not. Maybe it would be a bor- ing night, the kind you hope for when you work security. What- ever. It was cold and getting colder. Yeah, he’d duck inside for a bit later, just inside the door. At least he’d be out of the wind. Mitch noticed the Grand Am’s misguided owner was heading his way. Looked like he ended up parking across the street. Why couldn’t he have just done that in the first place? “Hey, buddy. You OK?” “Yes, sir. Sorry about that.” AARON BARNES was the last guy left on the tour bus tonight, which wasn’t unusual. The Abbott brothers, Darrell and Vinnie Paul, hall-of-fame hell-raisers for more than two decades, liked to be out among the fans, buying shots and posing for photos. 0306815249-Crain.qxd:Layout 1 3/16/09 10:58 AM Page ix INTRODUCTION – ix Barnes had been with them almost the entire time. The only thing the Abbotts, and Darrell in particular, liked better than having a good time was making sure everyone else had a good time, too—whether they wanted to or not. It was a few minutes after 10 P.M., and the show was about to start. Then there would be an after-party, because there was always an after-party, and Barnes wouldn’t be alone again until he hit the sack, whenever that happened. Definitely wouldn’t be for hours. There wasn’t much time to enjoy this rare moment of solitude, but no one really got into the music business for that anyway. It was time to go to work; Barnes, the band’s sound engineer, was needed inside. He stepped off the bus, locking the door behind him, and turned into the face of a muscle-bound man in a Colum- bus Blue Jackets jersey with a hooded sweatshirt underneath. He was bald, or close to it anyway, and anxious about something. The Columbus Blue Jackets fan wanted to know if the Abbotts were still on the bus, or if they’d already made their way inside the club. Barnes wasn’t surprised by the question. People always wanted to hang out with the brothers, before and after the show, and they were rarely turned away. That wasn’t exactly standard op- erating procedure with most bands, but it was in the Abbott camp. Barnes told him the brothers were already backstage, preparing for the night’s gig. He shrugged off the missed opportunity, a los- ing lottery ticket bought with a dollar he found in the street. “See you inside,” the big man said, and walked away. LIKE MOST rock-show audiences, the crowd that night was acting as a human motion detector. Any hint of action onstage 0306815249-Crain.qxd:Layout 1 3/16/09 10:58 AM Page x x – INTRODUCTION brought forth a chorus of whoooos and/or chants of the band’s name, each syllable separated by an exclamation point: Da! Mage! Plan! Even though it was only tour manager Chris Paluska arranging water bottles on the drum riser, or security chief Jef- frey “Mayhem” Thompson crossing from one side to the other to set up the band’s ever-present video camera.

    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.

  • Rick Springfield on the Back Waters Stage!
    Contact: Abby Ferguson | Marketing Manager 563-585-3002 | [email protected] July 5, 2017 - For Immediate Release Rick Springfield on the Back Waters Stage! Dubuque, IA - Rick Springfield has joined the lineup on the Back Waters Stage. He’ll be performing this Labor Day weekend - Sunday, September 3. Over the past three decades, Rick Springfield has worn many hats as an entertainer and performer. The creator of some of the finest power-pop of the ’80s, he’s a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and musician who has sold 25 million albums and scored 17 U.S. Top 40 hits, including “Jessie’s Girl,” “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” “An Affair of the Heart,” “I’ve Done Everything for You,” “Love Somebody,” and “Human Touch.” He’s an accomplished actor who most recently starred opposite Meryl Streep in the feature film Ricki and the Flash and gave a chameleonic performance as the creepy Dr. Pitlor in HBO’s prestige drama True Detective. He’s also a talented author — both his candid 2010 memoir Late, Late at Night (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel Magnificent Vibration earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. In 2013, Springfield wrote and recorded “The Man That Never Was” with Dave Grohl for the soundtrack to Sound City — the Foo Fighters’ frontman’s documentary about the San Fernando Valley recording studio that was Springfield’s home away from home (his manager owned the building). Rolling Stone called Springfield’s touching interview in the film its “breakout story.” In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S.
