...Have you ever thought about being a rock star? What about a drummer for a touring band? Well go no more, because I know a guy who is both and his name is Joshua Fassbender. Josh has been a friend of mine since 8th grade and I met him through marching band. He later on in life developed a true passion for drumming and is now a drummer for a pop punk/grunge band called Radioactive Red. I recently interview Josh to see how it is being on tour. Here we are right before a gig on night to make the scene more band like. His throne of drums where already set up and he was warmed up. Josh was ready for the night to start but they had a band playing before them. He could not help himself but to tap on his legs and I asked, "Why do drummer always tap on their legs and or just randomly hit objects?' His response was very calm lowering how hard he was hitting his legs, "A drummer keeps the rhythm going by always keeping tempo. I do this to make sure I can still stay on beat." I was shocked because I always assumed it was ADHD or something drummers did to get their mind off of the show....

...PHILIPPINE STATE COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS PICCIO GARDEN, VILLAMOR, PASAY CITY A.Y. 2015 – 2016 THE RISE OF THE BAND “THE 1975” IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ON 2015 Presented By: Montefalcon, John Marco C. AAMT 1st-5 Presented To: Mr. Mark Erickho Dela Cruz March 10, 2016 I. INTRODUCTION The Band “The 1975” is a British alternative rock band based on Manchester. The band currently consists of four members, Matthew Healy on guitar and vocals, Adam Hann on guitar, George Daniel on drums, and Ross McDonald on bass. According to SEX, DRUGS, AND MUSIC: AN INTERVIEW WITH THE 1975(2013), they were formed when they started playing in punk bands in their high school age. Since then, they never left their side since 2002 until now. For me, I can see and notice it that their bond as a band is as strong as ever. And as said by the The 1975 from THE 1975’S EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE UNTITLED MAGAZINE(2014), They met at Wilmslow High School, and they said they kind of started out of boredom. The 1975 had a various genre and band names before settling on “The 1975”. Those names are Talkhouse, Drive Like I Do, BIGSLEEP and The Slowdown. But they are not all from Manchester. Healy is from London and Daniel is from Belgium with some roots in Seattle. They played different genres, including punk, pop punk, rock, alternative rock, rock and ballad and many more. The band plays on many live shows, concerts and tours. Their name, apparently, is derived from an entry in a book of Beat poetry...

...caused a spike in student absences. While conducting research on the recent absences, I’ve noticed that in two of the four middle schools, Truman and Jackson, there was an abnormal increase in the absences of band students on May 20th and 21st . I have noticed after reviewing the school calendars and that Truman and Jackson Middle School had a Battle of the Bands event on May 19th. Telephone interviews by the School Nurse were conducted with some of the parents whose children were absent from school on those days, and I discovered that in speaking with one of the parents, it was brought to the nurse’s attention that some of the band members went out to dinner after the battle of the bands. In an attempt to rule out food poisoning, I took the liberty of looking into the recent health inspection reports for the local restaurants, which I had access to through the health department. I discovered that there was an accounting of several health violations at two restaurants located in close proximity to the schools. According to your School Nurse, food poisoning symptoms can start within a day or two of eating contaminated food. Based on interviews conducted the symptoms, all of which were either the same or very similar, were started within two days of the battle of the bands. After reviewing the available data from the health department and schools, I am inclined to agree with the parent of Student T10, that the absences are most likely related to food poisoning and not a contagious...

In addition, the society may have different expectations of the performance of the band members according to their own perspectives.

...Version 3.0 General Certificate of Education January 2013 Sociology 1191 SCLY2 Education with Research Methods; Health with Research Methods Unit 2 Final Mark Scheme Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the students‟ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a number of students‟ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students‟ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year‟s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper. Further copies of this Mark Scheme are available to download...

...drug use has unlocked a higher level of creativity. As trendsetters and role models this use of drugs was emulated by audiences across the United States and Great Britain. To such a point as references to mind altering drugs were appearing in Beats poems and essays and even protest songs of the middle 1950s. As music progressed through the year’s drug use (by artists and fans) and references became more mainstream. This paper will look at two specific band, The Beatles and the Grateful Dead. Rock and Roll on Drugs Drug use and music have been intertwined for many years. This use whether illegal or legal has had both positive and negative impacts on the artists and their success. While the creative juices may be flowing while under the influence of drugs the final outcome (maybe years down the road) almost always ends on a negative note. Even dating back to 1830 when Hector Berlioz wrote his most famous work “Symphonie Fantastique” he detailed the effects of an opium induced dream, specifically in the fourth movement. In an interview on June 16, 1967, Paul McCartney was asked if he ever took drugs, he said “After I took it (LSD), it opened my eyes. We only use one-tenth of our brain. Just think what we could accomplish if we could only tap that hidden part. It would mean a whole new world." (Spangler, 1967) During the late 1960s there was a counterculture, teens of the day were disillusioned with society, the Vietnam War and the assassinations of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King...

...Semih BOZ 21102153 Section: 5 ABSTRACT One of the discussion topics of music world is the relation between heavy metal music and religions. It is generally thought by non-authority people that heavy metal is music of Satanism. This remains as a prejudice, because the truth is different from what is thought of. The early times metal bands are even conservative and they have nothing to do with Satan in terms of religion. But most of the metal bands used satanic elements in lyrics, in music or on the stage. However, the intension of it is to attract listener’s attention. On the other hand, there is a small group in Norway actually worshipping Satan. In spite of the fact that they are in small numbers, their big actions made people talked about themselves. WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN HEAVY METAL AND RELIGION? Heavy metal is a music genre which has very hardcore sound and brutal theme in terms of lyrics. It covers the issues like life, death religion love betrayal etc. It is generally associated with black color and heavy metal bands seem very tough wearing black and silver stuff. This is some kind of requirement to be a metal band, because this music deals with the issues which are not mentioned explicitly by any other genres but heavy metal, then that music is something strong and brave. Therefore, who makes that kind of music should appear in the same way. If and only if, they ought to have a strong theme. This strong theme comes from the music which is made by powerful electric...
