  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    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.

    JUNE 2, 2017 CITY STAFF REVIEW TEAM EVALUATIONS FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS KEYARENA REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Deliberative, for discussion purposes only Page 1 Design/Constructability Staff Review Team Team Members Consultants Jill Crary, Seattle Center Ken Johnsen, SOJ Jae Lee, Seattle Center James Poulson, Architect Branin Burdette, SDCI David Hudacek, SDCI Quinn Majeski, OPI Lyle Bicknell, OPCD Karl Stickel, OED Oak View Group: A. Provide a world-class civic arena (the “Arena”) to attract and present music, entertainment, and sports events, potentially including NBA and NHL events, to Seattle and the region. This is a definite strength for this Proposer. By lowering the bowl, and developing a structural plan to transfer load from the four buttresses, they have created essentially a new building, with a large event floor and concourses at new levels. Figure #1 shows the current KeyArena floorplan in red overlaid on OVG’s floorplan. You can see the increased area on all 4 sides of the building. With a large entry at the south end, from the upper level, all patrons drop down into the various building levels (Figure 2). Loading begins at John St, with a tunnel on the 1st Ave N Garage lot, which allows for the needed 50’ drop before entering the new south end space. They have provided a new seating bowl and are using 34” riser treads and 20” seating in the lower bowl and 33” treads and 20” seats in the upper bowl. There are multiple upper bowl levels, with the north upper bowl beginning at the suite level, a south seating “party deck” and stacked seating above the upper bowl on the east and west sides.
