Grammy Museum 'Heavy Metal' Exhibit Curator To Guest On WJCU's 'Metal On Metal'

Grammy Museum senior manager of education and co-curator of the "Golden Gods: The History Of Heavy Metal" exhibit Kaitlyn Stuebner will guest on WJCU's "Metal On Metal" radio program with host Bill Peters tonight (Friday, May 4) at 8:30 p.m. EST. Stuebner, formerly from Cleveland and who worked with legendary artist Derek Hess, will discuss the process of putting the exhibit together with co-curator Andie Cox and what exactly it features.

"Metal On Metal" can be heard every Friday live at 88.7 FM in the Cleveland, Ohio area or streamed worldwide via the Internet at WJCU.org.

The Grammy Museum at L.A. LIVE, in cooperation with Revolver magazine, debuted "Golden Gods: The History Of Heavy Metal" on April 11 to coincide with Revolver's popular awards show, Revolver Golden Gods. Through rare artifacts from iconic metal bands and interactive experiences, the exhibit teaches visitors about the origins of heavy metal, its many subgenres, the bands that made heavy metal famous and offers a look into the controversy that has surrounded the genre for the past four decades.

The exhibit highlights never-before-displayed artifacts including instruments, stage props, handwritten lyrics and clothing/costumes featured alongside original album artwork, posters, live performance footage and interviews to give visitors a full overview of the vast history, and future, of heavy metal. In keeping with the mission of the Grammy Museum, the exhibit also houses a variety of interactive exhibits, meant to teach visitors about the elements of heavy metal music, including a vocal "scream" booth, double-kick-drum interactive featuring a tutorial on heavy metal drumming and metal riff stations, highlighting the great guitar players of the genre.

Additional programming includes:

1. The History of heavy metal classes for high school and college students
2. Lecture series taught by museum executive director Bob Santelli
3. "An Evening With" — public programs featuring question and answer sessions and intimate performances with some of heavy metal's great bands
4. Panel discussions with metal historians, artists and fans

The Grammy Museum pays tribute to music's rich cultural history. This one-of-a-kind, 21st-century museum explores and celebrates the enduring legacies of all forms of music, the creative process, the art and technology of the recording process, and the history of the premier recognition of excellence in recorded music — the Grammy Award. The Grammy Museum features 30,000 square feet of interactive and multimedia exhibits located within L.A. LIVE, the downtown Los Angeles sports, entertainment and residential district. Through thought-provoking and dynamic public and educational programs and exhibits, guests will experience music from a never-before-seen insider perspective that only the Grammy Museum can deliver.
