Downloading Might Mean Napster Is flourishing and Ulrich Is Pissed; Newsted’S Departure Means the Band Has to Hold Auditions, and a World Tour Means Mucho Dinero MAP_A01.qxd 29/1/07 10:13 AM Page i “The most elucidative dissertation on Metallica ever written. And a kick-ass read to boot!!!” Scott Ian, guitarist for Anthrax “Like philosophy itself, Metallica’s music can scare the uninitiated, who fear their brains will hurt. This book makes both philosophy and Metallica accessible to the curious while deepening the experi- ence of those already in the know.” Theodore Gracyk, author of Rhythm and Noise and Listening to Popular Music “Metallica and Philosophy is, at long last, the book which finally gives everyone’s favorite headbangers due credit for being intelligent, questioning, and even cerebral.” Joel McIver, author of Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica “Not just heavy metal, not just rock n’ roll, not just angst or anger or conceptual analysis, but a monster in a category of its own that shows us something dangerous about ourselves and our post-industrial culture.” Dale Jacquette, Pennsylvania State University MAP_A01.qxd 29/1/07 10:13 AM Page ii The Blackwell Philosophy and PopCulture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy help- ing of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

I loved working on it. Never before have I had a chance to combine two things I felt so passionately about, Metallica and philosophy. It was, of course, a team effort. So first of all Mega-Metalli-Thanks to all the contributing authors. It may be a crude way to express gratitude, but metal up your ass! Like the road crew who make the concert possible, many people labored tirelessly behind the scenes of this book. Joanna Corwin, in addition to contributing her own fine chapter, offered detailed commentaries on each chapter that immeasurably helped the various authors and me improve the final product. Joanna is also the Phantom Lord who created the index. Joie Hyman read every chapter and checked the lyrics and the Metalli-facts for accuracy. She saved us from hitting plenty of duff notes. Anything that remains out of tune is my bad. Eileen Sweeney, my Metalli-colleague from the King’s College English Department, read every chapter and drew on both her years as a fan and her years as a composition teacher to help improve the book. My friend and former student Candice Alaimo read every chapter, double-checked lyrics, and offered unwavering support. Shai Biderman, Kimberly Blessing, Jason Eberl, Jaime McAndrew, Jack McSherry, and Alex Schroeder all helped with feedback, research, and inspiration. Jeff Dean, Danielle Descoteaux, Jamie Harlan, and all the great folks at Blackwell have been a delight to work with. I’m fortunate to have found such a first-rate publisher. Many thanks to my students and colleagues at King’s College, especially my friend and Chair, Greg viii MAP_A01.qxd 26/1/07 4:49 PM Page ix Acknowledgments Bassham, and the Academic VP, Nick Holodick, for their wonderful support and encouragement. Thanks to my lovely wife, Megan, and our two head-banging chil- dren, Daniel and Kate, who have cheerfully endured strange music and even stranger conversations. Thanks to my parents. When I got metal up the ass they didn’t make me take it out. A big shout out to all my buddies from back in the day who listened to me babble on about philosophy while we were drinking beer and listening to Metallica. Here’s to you (in alphabetical order): Pete Campbell, Eugene Chiuli, Anthony Ciopa, Mr. D, Sissy Dugan, The Great Guldna, Jack Laughlin, J.R. Lombardo, Uncle Larry Lovallo, T. Roy Rex Marzziotti, Ken Murphy, Big Al Rappa, Ronzo, Chris Saunda, Joe Schmidt, Steve the Wise, and Joey the X-Man Ximenez. Rage on! And finally, of course, thanks to Metallica for making such inspiring, thought-provoking music! This book is not authorized or endorsed by Metallica.

    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.

  • Jason Newsted, Art and Loud
    Jason Newsted: Art Out Loud By Juan Sagarbarria ! JUPITER, FL October 30, 2017 An energetic and highly amplified electronic rock music having a hard beat, that is how Merriam-Webster defines heavy metal. If there was a viable channel in which to personify this description, then Jason Newsted would surely be one of its embodiments. A six-time Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist, Newsted—also known as “Jasonic”—is the former bassist of the band that arguably bred the metal genre—Metallica. From 1986 to 2001, Newsted forged his name in the annals of rock history with his beefy, fast-paced, and at times, nostalgic bass lines, as Metallica took the world by storm. Eternal staples like “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “One,” and “Fuel,” are but a brief sampling of the songs that were hatched during Newsted’s tenure. By singing lead on a few songs during the band’s live performances and astounding countless audiences with his remarkable bass solos, Newsted stamped his musical footprint. He even took over lead vocals for a whole show at the Kentucky Speedway during the 1999 Summer Sanitarium Tour, while frontman James Hetfield recovered from injury—and fiercely delivered. “I got to join my favorite band,” Newsted remarks. “I got real, real f***** lucky and got to travel around the world five times. Just imagine being in a dreamlike state for 15 years—that is the only way I could sum up what the experience entailed. Suffice it to say, I had too much fun.” Upon meeting Newsted, my impression of him was that, although he did not have his characteristic long hair that flailed aggressively during his early days with Metallica, he is still as spirited as ever; a character’s character.

Lyman is running against Kreutzer, a second-year Business Administration student.

  • Aid Memoir Aid Larry Hollingworth Larry
    Larry Hollingworth, current visiting professor of AID MEMOIR Humanitarian Studies at Fordham University in New York City, served as head of the UNHCR’s efforts in Bosnia throughout the lengthy conflict that plagued the former Yugoslavia in the early to mid 90’s. Aid Memoir follows Larry and his UN colleagues throughout multiple efforts to provide much needed relief for besieged, isolated, and desperate communities riddled by senseless killing and aggression. The characters encountered throughout are at times thrilling, at times frightening. Larry spares no details, however troubling, and therefore shines a telling light on the reality of the situation that most will remember to have watched on their television screens. Front cover.

The concerts were historic on multiple levels, serving as the grand opening of San Francisco’s Chase Center, reuniting the band and Symphony for the first time since the 1999 performances captured on the Grammy-winning S&M album, and featuring the first-ever symphonic renditions of songs written and released since those original S&M shows. “S&M2 offers an inspired and eye-opening view into not just the shared heritage of classical music and heavy metal, but into the spirit of innovation and to endless vistas awaiting exploration.” - Louder “And it’s also of little surprise, especially for anyone who attended those increasingly legendary shows at Chase last year, that this new album is another major winner. What a great memento of such a monumental night in Bay Area live music history.” - The Mercury News “This collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony brings to life the fusion of heavy metal and classical music. As it was in 1999, S&M2 is a grand celebration of the energy and magic that these forms of music convey.” – Metal Wani S&M2 is a landmark release in the Metallica catalogue, both sonically and visually.
