Lands

Advent of Rock N Roll
Reason :
the emergence of a youth culture-based in
part upon the rejection of older styles of
popular culture
Roots :
The roots of Rock N Roll principally in
Rhythm And Blues (R&B) and Country
Music.

What Is Rock ?
Form of popular music from

the late 20th century which
typically features a vocal
melody (often with vocal
harmony) that is supported
by accompaniment of
electric guitars, a bass
guitar, and drums, often with
a strong back beat.

\"Rock N Roll\" to \"Rock\"
The change in terminology from rock and

roll to simply rock indicates both a
continuity with and a break from the earlier
period; rock music was no longer just for
dancing. After 1964 the music was
influenced by British groups such as the
Beatles.

Rock-anthems of Rebellion
What is music ?
It describes life by imitating life and selectively
emphasizing some aspects over others. In this, Music
imitates life, but selectively, and with the shaping hand
of human narration. Music provides the clearest view
of this, since it literally \"sounds like\" life; rhythms
imitate motion and tones reflect mood depending on
the degree of dissonance and consonance they
possess relative to the foundational notes of a phrase.

INSTRUMENTAL ROCK
With many heavy metal guitarists being

albums.
Guitarists such as Steve Vai, Mark

Knopfler and Joe Satriani have contributed
greatly

1980s to describe bands which didn't fit
into the mainstream genres of the time.
Important bands of the '80s alternative

CREED

Heavy Metal : a Gothic
overture
One cannot contemplate metal music

without viewing its roots; that being said,
its roots cannot be viewed without
analyzing their origins in turn, and the
political circumstance which shaped their
public image.

Heavy Metal : a Gothic
overture
THE PROPOGANDA

Unlike the good times and party hearty vibe of
most music, metal was \"heavy\" in that it took on
weighty existential topics
It embraced dark imagery, with Iron Maiden

taking on occult topics, Motorhead wearing Iron
Crosses and Judas Priest not only writing songs
about WWII but openly accepting a demonic,
warlike persona.

Heavy Metal : a Gothic
overture
Musical Characteristics

While rock is notorious for its verse-

chorus-verse structure metal emphasizes
a motivic, melodic narrative structure.
Unlike the harmony-based, short-cycle

riffs of rock, metal almost exclusively used
moveable power chords.

Heavy Metal : a Gothic
overture
Could be further divided :
•
Doom Metal and Grunge

Speed Metal and Thrash


Heavy Metal : a Gothic
overture
Grindcore and Death Metal

Black Metal

Nu-metalk


SPEED METAL-Metal storm
Songs in speed metal rotated around fear of

government, nuclear war, apocalypse, social
issues and occult topics.
Used muffled strumming to turn ringing chords

into short explosive bursts of bass-intensive
sound.
Some early speed metal bands Metallica,

Exodus and Slayer.

Thrash-The Storm Still Rages
Thrash bands tended to write a mixture of

\"political\" songs and more direct
existential critiques of modern society.
 It consisted of short fast songs(some less
than 30 sec)
 Thrash music made less frequent use of
muffled chords.
 Megadeth , Anthrax.

GRINDCORE-Unholy Holocaust
Over-the-top Satanic and occult lyrics,

grindcore contributed the biologically
distorted vocals which would also be a
trait of death metal and black metal.
 Songs which were punkish and abruptly
short like those of thrash .
 Grindcore lyrics were usually political, in a
paranoid and anarchistic view of the world,
but could be quite insightful,

GRINDCORE-Unholy Holocaust
The unstated purpose of this seemed to

be to remind the audience that mortality is
real because life is limited and death very
near and the consequences of our actions
will catch up to us
 Napalm death, Caracass

DEATH METAL-Song of the
Graves
It borrowed vocals and techniques from

grindcore, but emphasized precision and
clear structure instead of confusion.
Musically, it resembles speed metal
Arranged related ideas in motifs and used

them to illustrate the passage of an idea
through a song; it is most similar to opera
or classical music

DEATH METAL - Song of the
Graves
These used the death metal vocal style

which was distinct from that of grindcore in
that greater enunciation occurred,
 Possessed and Sepultura

DOOM METAL-The dawn of the
end
Songs were centered around mournful

topics and a certain amount of self-pity,
Bands like My Dying Bride increased the

instrumental aspects of the genre,
incorporating interleaving melodies and
violin accompaniment
Cathedral, My Dying Bride.


GRUNGE - Angels Cry
Early grunge bands, particularly Alice in Chains

and Soundgarden, took much of their sound
from early heavy metal and much of their
approach from punk,
Addressed the issue of a fatalism

Fatalism is the belief that one can do nothing

about one's fate but mourn it as a means of
accepting it

GRUNGE-Angels Cry
Grunge remained a mostly local

phenomenon until the breakthrough of
Nirvana in 1991 with their album
Nevermind.
But in 1994 grunge basically ended when

sometime early in April Nirvana leader
Kurt Cobain committed suicide.

BLACK METAL-Heathen pride
Unlike death metal, black metal was explicitly

melodic in composition
1990s, at which point the first black metal based

on the lessons of death metal , or \"modern black
metal,\" emerged
The first wave of bands were Burzum, Emperor

Modern black metal represents the highest

evolution of metal as a technical and artistic
musical genre.

Birth of Nu-metal
Once the creative instigators of the genre had

said their piece and retired new bands
were unable to reproduce the content that made
it stand head and shoulders above the crowd.
Thus came about a wave of bands making

Satanic music and purporting to \"hate everyone
equality\" and \"want death for all humanity,\"

Birth of Nu-metal
When the focus shifted from the art to the fans

and their self-image, the bands began to sound
like each other.
As mainstream bands began adopting the same

techniques as underground, and fans looking
into the underground found product that was not
musically distinct from the mainstream pop.
This vast failure of spirit, and collapse of metal

culture, gave rise to Nu-metal and similar genres
in the mainstream.

NU METAL-The dawn of the
end
It used the chord progressions and

composition style of rock, the technique of
speed metal and the aesthetics of death
metal mixed with an urban sense of self-
importance and righteous anger
KORN , Pantera forerunner


NU METAL-The dawn of the
end
What remains of the nu-metal and black

hardcore movements is the knowledge that
once again, popularity took over, and bands
instead of leading began to follow the desires
their audience Ultimately, this was fatal to the
metal movement.

METAL-Visions from the dark side
Metal is a spirit rising within society that

represents something which society will not
accept, cannot nurture and rejects because it is
somehow oppositional
It is communicating something with its loud,

socially-unacceptable, hedonistic and barbarian
sound.
Metal music reflects life in its sounds, and in

modern time it thus selects its audience based
on what they perceive of the world, and thus find
realistic and evocative of experience in music.

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
Criticism and Accusations :
During the 1970s and 1980s, flirtation with occult

themes by artists such as Black Sabbath,Led
Zeppelin, Ozzy Osbourne, led to accusations of
\"Satanic\" influences in heavy metal by
fundamentalist Christians.
It was thought that heavy metal albums featured

hidden messages urging listeners to worship the
Devil or to commit suicide

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
Revelation of truth :
 In the real sense occultism in rock music
symbolized life in terms of the eternal and
ideal.
There was an almost exclusive focus on

the dark side and on the spiritual figures
society rejected for not being tamed, such
as Lord Satan himself.

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
Revealation of truth :
 They opine that satan represents responsibility
to the responsible instead of concern for psychic
vampires
 Occult imagery was basically used to reflect
political topics
 Satan was not a representation of evil but a
symbol of paganism
 They would often attack christanity on its anti-
pagan stance using satan

Black Sabbath's \"War Pigs\":
Generals gathered in their masses,
just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction,
sorcerers of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning,
as the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind,
poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord, yeah!

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
Flirting with fame
 Instead of concentrating solely on music to
sell their records, Satanism and anti-christ
beliefs were promoted as an integral part
of a rockers’ lifestyle.
 For most of them this was an assured
ladder to instant fame and recognition
atleast among the metal community.

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
EXAMPLES :

 Marilyn Manson, proudly boasts:
 \"Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as the
person who brought an end to
Christianity.\" (Spin, August 1996, p. 34)

SATNISM- Veiled Irreligion
John Lennon of \"The Beatles\":

\"Christianity will go. It will vanish and
sink. We're more popular than Jesus
right now\"
 David Bowie: \"Rock-n-roll has always
been the devil's music. It could very
well bring about a very evil feeling in
the West\".

SATANISM- Veiled Irreligion
The covers of their
albums would often
display occult symbols
and blasphemous
messages.
\"The gods you
worship are steel, at
the altar of rock and
roll you kneel.”

BACKMASKING: The Ultimate
Incantation
Backmasking is an audio technique in

which sounds are recorded backwards
onto a track that is meant to be played
forwards.
Backmasking is a deliberate process,

whereas a backward message may be
unintentional

BACKMASKING: The Ultimate
Incantation
Backmasking began with The Beatles.

John Lennon,, played the tapes for
\"Tomorrow Never Knows\"

BACKMASKING EXAMPLES:
A Dark Passage
SONG : \"Hotel California\" by Eagles

Forward :\"Mirrors on the ceiling and pink

champagne..................... just can't leave\"
Backward : \"Yes,Satan, he organized his

own religion\", yeah, cooks it in a vat, he fixes
it for his son, which he gives away.\"

BACKMASKING EXAMPLES:
A Dark Passage
SONG : \"Stairway to Heaven\" by Led

Zeppelin
 Forward : there are two paths to go by
............................. you know sometimes
words have two meanings \"
 Backward : \"There's no escaping it. Here's
to my sweet Satan. No other made a path,
for it makes me sad, whose power is
Satan\".

Forward
Backward

ANALYSIS: The Revelation
It is worth noting that, given a randomly

generated series of syllables spoken in a
variety of accents, a two-syllable pair that
can be liberally interpreted as \"Satan\" is
very easy to generate.

ANALYSIS: The Revelation
In 1985 conducted a study using Psalm 23 from

the Bible, Queen's \"Another One Bites the
Dust,\" and various other sound passages made
up for the experiment. Of the 300 people tested,
less than 10% claimed they could hear any
messages.
When a particular phrase (\"It's fun to smoke

marijuana\") was cited beforehand and the
subjects prompted to listen for it, 90% were able
to hear it, even when the phrase was not
intentionally recorded.

Conclusion
Rock has embraced everything that we normally

don't think about socially - death, ugliness,
terror, disease, warfare, sodomy - and somehow
turned it into music that isn't attractive in the
decorative sense, but makes from these
repellent facts of life something appealing,
perhaps by instead of demonizing them lending
to them compassion and trying to find a place in
one's worldview where they might fit as
necessary in the achievement of a larger good.

Rock and rebellion-Dissident
agressor
From its beginnings, rock and roll has

been associated with youth, rebellion, and
anti-establishment.
 The ability to shock the elders in turn
became part of the appeal of the music to
young generations.
 Attempts to control the influence of rock
often turned comical;

Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll-
Sacrament Of Wilderness
The rock lifestyle has always been

popularly known as being associated with
sex and drugs.
 In the 1960s psychedelic music arose;
some musicians encouraged and intended
listeners of psychedelic music to be under
the influence of LSD or other
hallucinogenic drugs as enhancements to
the listening experience

early 1970s however, much of the rock and

dissipated as rock music suffered a series of

A greater respect for the dangers of drug

consumption was observed,
 Many rock musicians, including Eric

acknowledged battling addictions
 Many successfully undergone drug
rehabilitation programs, but others have

Rock and Fashion-legacy of

Style of rock and roll music popularised in

the early 1970s.
Glam made less of an impression and was

largely confined to selected music fans in
the cities of New York and Detroit.

Rock and Fashion-legacy of
kings
The Beatles era brought outrage at longer

hair styles, with unsmiling or sullen groups on
record covers in contrast to the previous
standard of clean-cut, smiling musicians.
The Rolling Stones took this further and are

credited with being the first band to dispense
with band uniforms; band members simply
wore whatever clothes they wished, and
these clothes were often outlandish or
controversial.

Rock and Fashion-legacy of
kings
Rock musicians were early adopters of hippie

fashion and introduced such styles as the
Nehru jacket; bands such as the Beatles had
custom-made clothing that influenced much
of '60s style.
In The 80s and early 90s Grunge musicians

and fans wore torn jeans, old shoes, flannel
shirts, backwards baseball hats, and grew
their hair long in rebellion against the clean-
cut image that was popular at the time.

Rock and Fashion-legacy of
kings
Singer Bruce Springsteen appealed to many

as a working-class hero. Madonna, who
came to symbolize female sexual liberation
through her controversial videos and lyrics.
Glam performers often dressed

androgynously in make up and glittery, florid
costumes not dissimilar to costumes that
Liberace or Elvis Presley wore when
performing in cabaret. An example would be
David Bowie during his Ziggy Stardust and
Aladdin Sane phases.

Instruments - Rhyming with
Thunder
The invention of Electric guitar by Leo

fender in 1951 was a precursor to the
impending boom of rock and roll.
Though rock has used a wide variety of

instruments, its basic elements are one or
several vocalists, heavily amplified electric
guitars (including bass, rhythm, and lead),
and drums.

musical instrument.
Guitars can be divided into two broad

categories, acoustic and electric:
1)Acoustic Guitar
2)Electric Guitar

GUITARS- Voice of

Acoustic guitar

The traditional guitar
is not dependent on
any external device
for amplification.
The shape and

itself creates acoustic

GUITARS- Voice of

Electric guitar

 Electric guitars can have solid, semi-
hollow or hollow bodies, and produce little
sound without amplification.
Electromagnetic pickups (single and
double coil) convert the vibration of the
steel strings into electric signals which are
fed to an amplifier through a cable or radio
device.

GUITARS- Voice of

3)Electric bass guitar

It is similar in appearance to an electric
guitar but has a larger body, a longer neck
and scale length, and, usually, four strings
(but sometimes five or six, compared to
six on an electric guitar)
Electric basses may be fretted or fretless

Drums :The War Of Wrath
Drums usually refers to a drum kit or a set

of drums, and drummer to the actual band
member or person who plays them.
 Drums are played by percussionists
whose skills can be called for in all areas
of music, from Classical to Heavy Rock,
and all points in between

Keyboards : RAGING GOBLIN
A keyboard instrument is any musical

instrument played using a musical
keyboard.
 The most common of these is the piano,
which is used in nearly all forms of
western music.
 In common language, it is mostly used to
refer to keyboard-style synthesizers.

MICROPHONES : Where the
Shadow lies
The microphone also functions as a

musical instrument for many rock singers,
who rely upon the amplification and
various effects (such as echo) obtainable
through electronic means.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEAD AND
RHYTHM GUITARING: Beyond the mirror
Difference between lead guitar and rhythm

guitar is that they are two different parts of a
band that happen to be played by the same
instrument.
Leads are characterized partly by guitar

solos: any guitar playing a solo is a lead.
one can say that the lead part contributes

more to melody than to accompaniment,
having few or no chords but still following a
chord structure.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEAD AND
RHYTHM GUITARING: Beyond the mirror
On the other hand Rhythm guitar is

characterized by sounding \"chordy,\" that
is, playing mostly chords in patterns.
 Technique is less about expressiveness of
individual notes, but about choosing good
chords or chord voicings that enrich the
overall sound
Leads Rhythm Bass

GUITAR EFFECTS : smoke on
water
A new generation of rock guitarists,
including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton,
experimented with amplification, feedback
and various electronic devices, extending the
musical potential of the instrument.
One of the most widely used effects are
1)Distortion
2)Feedback.

GUITAR EFFECTS : smoke on
water
DISTORTION

 Distortion is an important part of an
electric guitar's sound in many genres.
 A distortion pedal takes a normal electric
guitar signal distort the signal's waveform
by \"clipping\" the signal.
 There are several different types of
distortion effects, each with distinct sonic
characteristics.

GUITAR EFFECTS : Smoke on
Water
Feedback

a high-pitched squealing noise occurs
when live microphones are placed in the
general direction of the output speakers.
Audio feedback is usually undesirable.
However, electric guitar players such as
Jimi Hendrix have used it as an audio
effect

GUITAR EFFECTS : smoke on
water
Feedback

the guitar strings (or other stringed
instrument) form a filter within the
feedback path and the artist can easily
and rapidly \"tune\" this filter, producing
wide ranging effects.
Artists can even manipulate feedback by
shaking their instruments (in the style of

HEADBANGING : Burden of
Grief
The term \"headbanger\" was coined on

Led Zeppelin's first US tour in 1968
 Headbanging is a type of dance which
involves violently shaking the head in time
with music, most commonly heavy metal
music.
 It is most visually effective when the
person headbanging has long hair

HEADBANGING : Burden of
Grief
The whiplash: an especially violent form of

the traditional \"up and down\" style
The all-out: dropping on the ground, holding

oneself up with the arms, and violently
swinging the head between the arms.
The tandem : band members stand side by

side and headbang in unison.
Headbangers' bodies usually bang with the

head, reducing the strain on the neck

MOSHPIT : LAKE OF FIRE
The term \"mosh\" has often been credited to

Vinnie Stigma of the hardcore group Agnostic
Front as an acronym for \"March Of Skin Heads\",
Moshing is a type of dance characterized by

jumping around and/or pushing others to loud
punk, hardcore, and heavy metal music.
It has always been mosh etiquette to help up

those who fall down. Also, moshers generally try
to avoid tripping others, therefore avoiding the
entire falling 'incident'.

Wall of death : Apocalyptic
Dance
The singer of the band playing divides the

crowd into two portions, with a gap of at
least 10 metres between them.
 At a signal given by the singer the two
crowds run into each other at high
velocity, in a rather violent fashion.
 The Wall of Death was first created by
hardcore band Sick Of It All.
