Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers.

  • Jenna Miller 2/22/12 Megadeth Megadeth Has Been A
    Jenna Miller 2/22/12 Megadeth Megadeth has been a very popular thrash metal band for over 20 years. The bands, like most others, have gone through many conflicts. Unlike other bands though, Megadeth has stayed strong since the 80’s and has impacted the heavy metal culture. Megadeth has successfully released thirteen albums, which attracted both underground and mainstream fans. They also have accompanied what popular trends into their songs, which resulted in keeping the band steady and popular throughout the years. The start of the band was back in the 1980’s, where Dave Mustaine (lead singer and guitarist) joined the band Metallica in 1982. Mustaine had a drug and alcohol addiction which made him difficult to get along with. In March of 1983, his constant disagreements with vocalist, James Hetfield, caused him to get kicked out. In the summer, Mustaine meets bassist David Ellefson, and they form Megadeth with guitarist Greg Handevidt and drummer Dijon Carruthers. Because of the unorganized nature of the band and constant bickering between band members, the lineup has constantly changed throughout the years. Many believe Mustaine’s drug and alcohol addiction is to blame for this because of his constant highs and lows in his mood. The only two members, Dave Mustaine and Dave Ellefson, were in Megadeth when the band first started and are still currently in the 2012 line up. Megadeth's first three gigs where February 15th, 18th, and 19th, of 1984. In May of 1985, Megadeth’s first album, “Killing is My Business…And Business is Good!” was released.

Rio de Janeiro, Sept 27, 2018 – Rock in Rio 2019 offers not only a night to remember, but also a historic event. After a metal-free festival at City of Rock in 2017, the Rock in Rio organizers are giving a special gift to the fans and announces, for 2019, a whole day dedicated to this musical genre. It will be a revival of the first edition in 1985, when the nights with these heavy metal bands brought over 300 thousand people to the event. Thirty-four years later, with the headliner Brits IRON MAIDEN, the Germans from Scorpions, the Americans from Megadeth and the Brazilians from Sepultura, Rock in Rio promises another memorable night on October 4th. These announcements marked the start of the one-year countdown to Rock in Rio 2019, that will take place on September 27, 28 and 29 and October 3, 4, 5 and 6 of 2019, in the City of Rock, at Barra da Tijuca (Parque Olímpico - Av. Salvador Allende). For Roberto Medina, president of Rock in Rio, announcing the whole line-up for the World Stage on the metal night at once is a way to honor this metal community that, in 2017, wasn’t represented.

In August, Metallica Club members around the world were able to enter a lottery for a chance to purchase tickets to all the Fillmore shows at a cost of $19.81 for a four-pack of tickets to all of the shows. Single show tickets were $6. All four of the shows immediately sold out. Last week, Metallica welcomed these fans from around the globe to join them in the celebration where there were no repeats in the set lists for the four night stand, aside from the established show closer of “Seek & Destroy,” playing close to 80 different songs. Each night at the Fillmore was hosted by comedian Jim Breuer and opened by the Rebel Souls Brass Band performing Metallica songs. This was followed by fan club winners invited on stage to play “Crash Course Trivia” and “Name That Riff” games where they were able to win exclusive 30th anniversary prizes and memorabilia. Metallica also invited many special guests relevant to their 30 years to the stage to perform with them. The list of guests included Apocalyptica, Armored Saint, Geezer Butler, John Bush, Bif Byford, Jerry Cantrell, Nick “Animal” Culmer, Glenn Danzig, Death Angel, King Diamond, Diamond Head, Marianne Faithfull, Lloyd Grant, Rob Halford, Ray Haller, Pepper Keenan, Kid Rock, Laaz Rockit, John Marshall, Jim Martin, Mercyful Fate, Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, Jason Newsted, Ozzy Osbourne, Soul Rebels Brass Band, Lou Reed, Bob Rock, Gary Rossington, and Hugh Tanner.

  • Artsed Digest New Blog Post Explores AEP Policy Resource
    Wednesday, April 15, 2020 New Blog Post Explores AEP Policy Resource Last month we released updates for ArtScan, a clearinghouse of the latest state policies supporting arts education. To better navigate that resource, program manager Krystal Johnson has shared an informative blog post, "New to ArtScan? Here's What You Need to Know," which is featured on Education Commission of the States's Ed Note. From unpacking ArtScan at a Glance's policy benefits as a 50-State Comparison to highlighting some of the key state policies and reports available through the ArtScan database, we hope the blog post serves as a launching point for exploring this helpful arts education policy resource. RFP Updates for 2020 Annual Convening With the deadline for the AEPAC 2020 Request for Current Session Proposals less than a month away, we wanted to share some of the ways we’re adapting the RFP in light of uncertainties about future travel. Whether the Convening takes place as a large gathering in San Diego or goes virtual, we’re excited for the opportunity to come together as a field to connect as we reflect on the work we’ve done and look ahead to our future work in arts education. News From Our Partners Applications Open for National Music and Choral Ensemble Competition The National Association for Music Education is holding its All-National Honor Ensembles on Nov. 5-8 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, FL. Top U.S. high school musicians can now apply to perform in one of these ensembles, which will be led by well-known conductors in the field of music education.
