Emerging from the not-so-mean streets of suburban New England at the tail end of the 1980s, The Unband embraced everything reckless, unhealthy, and downright harebrained about rock and roll. After a decade on the booze-and-gas-soaked road to success, with the help of their dominatrix manager, a willful record executive or two, and dumb luck in spades, the hard-rocking, gleefully out-of-control Unband arrived at the threshold of the new century and got their shot at the big time?in a chaotic music industry where boy-band pop ruled supreme and rock music had been declared dead. In this epic, intoxicated un-memoir, Unband bassist Michael Ruffino delves deeper into the story he originally told in 2004's Gentlemanly Repose, taking readers along on a raucous tear through the netherworld of heavy rock, populated with crack-smoking Girl Scouts, collegiate bedlamites, shotgun-toting barmaids, a rodent-chomping music CEO, a beer-drinking chimp, and headbangers by the horde, while on tour with giants of heavy metal including Dio, Motörhead, Anthrax, Def Leppard, and a Who Was Who of reunited '80s hair bands. Into that volatile mix, The Unband brought do-it-yourself pyrotechnics, a giant inflatable hand (for making giant inflatable gestures), a high tolerance for substance abuse of all kinds, and an infectious love of rock and roll and everything it stands for.Equal parts This Is Spinal Tap and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Adios, Motherfucker is a riotous and unbridled testament to rock and roll being at its best on the brink of disaster.

Excerpt: Meshuggah (pronounced ) is an experimental metal band formed in Umeå, Sweden in 1987. Meshuggah's line-up has primarily consisted of founding members vocalist Jens Kidman and lead guitarist Fredrik Thordendal, drummer Tomas Haake, who joined in 1990, and rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström, who joined in 1993. The band has gone through a number of bassists, but the position has been held by Dick Lövgren since 2004. Meshuggah first attracted international attention with the 1995 release Destroy Erase Improve for its fusion of fast-tempo death metal, thrash metal and progressive metal with jazz fusion elements. Since its 2002 album Nothing, Meshuggah has used downtuned eight-string guitars. Meshuggah has become known for innovative musical style, complex, polymetered song structures and polyrhythms. They were labeled as one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands by Rolling Stone and as the most important band in metal by Alternative Press. Meshuggah has found little mainstream success as yet, but is a significant act in extreme underground music, and are said to have largely inspired the djent scene. Nothing and the albums that followed have all charted on the Billboard 200. In 2006 and 2009, the band was nominated for a Swedish Grammy Award. Meshuggah's most commercially successful album, 2008's obZen, peaked at No. 59 and sold 11,400 copies in the first week and 50,000 copies six months after its release in the United States. Since its formation, Meshuggah has released six studio albums, five EPs and eight music videos. The band has performed in various international festivals, including Ozzfest and Download, and embarked on the obZen world tour from 2008 to 2010. Frontman Jens Kidman in 2007In 1985, guitarist Fredrik Thordendal formed a band in Umeå, a college town in northern Sweden with a population of 105,000. The band, originally named Metallien, recorded a number of demo tapes, after which it disbanded. Thordendal, however, continued playing under a diffe

Excerpt: Don Van Vliet ( ; born Don Glen Vliet; January 15, 1941 - December 17, 2010) was an American musician, singer-songwriter and artist best known by the stage name Captain Beefheart. His musical work was conducted with a rotating ensemble of musicians called The Magic Band, active between 1965 and 1982, with whom he recorded 12 studio albums. Noted for his powerful singing voice with its wide range, Van Vliet also played the harmonica, saxophone and numerous other wind instruments. His music blended rock, blues and psychedelia with free jazz, avant-garde and contemporary experimental composition. Beefheart was also known for exercising an almost dictatorial control over his supporting musicians, and for often constructing myths about his life. During his teen years in Lancaster, California, Van Vliet developed an eclectic musical taste and formed "a mutually useful but volatile" friendship with Frank Zappa, with whom he sporadically competed and collaborated. He began performing with his Captain Beefheart persona in 1964 and joined the original Magic Band line-up, initiated by Alexis Snouffer, in 1965. The group drew attention with their cover of Bo Diddley's "Diddy Wah Diddy", which became a regional hit. It was followed by their acclaimed debut album Safe as Milk, released in 1967 on Buddah Records. After being dropped by two consecutive record labels, they signed to Zappa's Straight Records. As producer, Zappa granted Beefheart the unrestrained artistic freedom in making 1969's Trout Mask Replica, ranked fifty-eighth in Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In 1974, frustrated by lack of commercial success, he released two albums of more conventional rock music that were critically panned; this move, combined with not having been paid for a European tour, and years of enduring Beefheart's abusive behavior, led the entire band to quit. Beefheart eventually formed a new Magic Band with a group of younger musicians and regained cont

"On January 22, 2003, four men stepped onto a stage in Brooklyn and did something no one else was doing at that time, in that place. They played rock 'n' roll: old-fashioned rock 'n' roll with skyscraping riffs and sloppy solos, topped with extraordinary lyrics about an out-of-focus America, blurred by pills and powders, of crime and fear and desperation and redemption. Twenty years later, The Hold Steady are one of America's most beloved rock bands, famed for live shows that turn unbelievers into converts, and for a catalog filled with some of the most exciting yet poetic music of the twenty-first century. To mark those twenty years, The Hold Steady tell their full story in The Gospel of The Hold Steady: How a Resurrection Really Feels. An oral history, based on interviews with everyone who has played in the band, and those who have worked with them over the course of their career, The Gospel of the Hold Steady addresses all the triumphs and setbacks of The Hold Steady's career in the band's own words--from high times to near deaths, from the brink of splitting to their current renaissance. The volume also includes over 200 photographs and images. The Gospel of The Hold Steady is completed by essays about America's greatest bar band by writers Rob Sheffield, Laura Barton, Isaac Fitzgerald, and Michael Hann, as well as the thoughts and memories of 'The Unified Scene'--the fans who have helped define the band's identity over the years"--Amazon.com.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Didaktik für das Fach Deutsch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,3, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover (Deutsches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Stille - literarisch: Geschichte, Motivik, Didaxe, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: So vielfältig wie die Textsorten, in denen Stille thematisiert wird, sind auch die Repräsentationsformen derselben. So kann Stille nicht nur als angenehm und behaglich repräsentiert und empfunden werden, sondern auch als unangenehm, furchterregend oder traurig (z.B. ¿Funkstille¿, ¿Totenstille¿ oder beim traurigen Schweigen). Lyrik und Popsongs bilden zusammengenommen eine Vielfalt der Repräsentationsformen von Stille ab. Dabei legen literarische Gedichte den Fokus unter anderem auf die Verbundenheit mit der Natur, bilden jedoch auch eine Schnittstelle zur Popmusik, die Stille primär mit zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen in Verbindung bringt. An den Gedichten "Ein Gleiches" von Johann von Goethe, "Mondnacht" von Joseph von Eichendorff und "Sachliche Romanze" von Erich Kästner sowie an den Popsongs "Still" von Jupiter Jones und "The Sound of Silence" von Disturbed soll in dieser Arbeit untersucht werden, wie Stille in der Lyrik und Popmusik repräsentiert wird. Dabei soll analysiert werden, wie das Motiv der Stille stilistisch und thematisch umgesetzt wird, welche Wirkungen die Verwendung der unterschiedlichen Stilmittel bezüglich der Stille haben und welche Gemeinsamkeiten und/oder Unterschiede Gedichte und Popsongs bezüglich der Repräsentationsformen von Stille haben. Diese Aspekte sind besonders interessant, weil das Motiv der Stille in der Literaturwissenschaft bisher wenig Beachtung fand und somit kaum erforscht ist. Dementsprechend basiert die Arbeit auf der eigenen Analyse und Interpretation der Primärtexte und verwendet kaum Sekundärliteratur. Für die Interpretation der Gedichte und Popsongs werden Stilmittel und Form analysiert. Zusätzlich wird bei den Popsongs die musikalische Gestaltung mitberücksichtigt, um ein Gesamtbild zu schaffen. Nach erfolgter Analyse und Interpretation aller Primärtexte werden die jeweiligen Ergebnisse miteinander in Verbindung gesetzt und sollen schlussendlich einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Repräsentationsformen von Stille in Lyrik und Popmusik liefern.
