Lady Gaga – Secret Metalhead?

Posted by Bram Teitelman on Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:36 am

Ba-Ba-Bur-Gaga, Secret Metalhead

Aside from the fact that she’s a global juggernaut, Lady Gaga seems to have two groups of devout fans: women and the gays. But after reading a post on her Twitter over the weekend, metal peeps might need to show her some respect too. Anyone that likes metal or eats meat in the midwest knows about Kuma’s Corner, the Chicago burger joint that features creations named after heavy bands. Apparently, she stopped by the institution over the weekend to have a Judas Priest burger (bacon, bleu cheese dressing with apples, walnuts, and dried cranberries) and tweeted about it. Normally, we’d just give her some props for being a diva that likes a burger and beer in an age of vegetarians, but then we got around to reading her tweet:

Just spent the morning at kuma’s, judas priest burger and cheap beer, denim +leather, brought us all together.

So wait, Lady Gaga is QUOTING SAXON! Our respect for her just went up significantly. We kinda had her pegged as the type of person that would say she liked metal, and then rattle off Motley Crue and Def Leppard as bands she liked. But Saxon? Wow, just wow.

    Wow… just wow.

  2. TheMightyBlue Says:

    So, you’re saying she’s like Princess of the Night then?

  3. Bryan Chandler Says:

    I highly doubt someone that lame would actually know a lyric from a Saxon song. More likely she just blurted out the same words as a coincidence. No one who has any respect for metal would be involved with such shitty music as she is.

  4. Pat Says:

    That burger sounds awful! Obviously a Halford original.

  5. Stabitha Says:

    I’m her biggest fan, I’ll follow her until she loves me…

  6. Wesleano Says:

    I don’t know man, I know she had a rock/art metal band when she was first coming up heavily influenced by Queen. So she might be into some heavy stuff. All in all bitch is just crazy.

  7. Steff Metal Says:

    Her wikipedia page says she used to date a metalhead, too. So chances are she probably knows what she’s tweeting about.

  8. Stabitha Says:

    Leather and jeans / Garage glamorous…

  9. Barbarella a.k.a. The Mad Cat Lady Says:

    The chick ROCKS!

  10. Steve Irons Says:

    Are we sure she said Saxon? ….for christ sake I hope she was just sneezing!! Cant imagine shite like LadyGAGA being connected in any way shape or form to the mighty Saxon

  11. biff Says:

    obviously she has impeccable taste

  12. Kevin Says:

    I’ll wait until I start hearing the cover songs before I look to modern pop singers for approval of what I listened to 20 years ago.

  13. B.C. Says:

    Lady Gaga is one of the strangest ppl ever. Just cause she stopped at a metal resturant and had a judas burger(that sounds like shit! making think of it, i want to through up), then site a qoute from saxon? doesn’t make her a metalhead

  14. Ace Says:

    This is exactly why “metalheads” are frowned upon by people who like metal and are wise enough to carry an open mind. You may not like her music, kiddos – but this chick knows her stuff. She even admitted to dancing to Run to the Hills when explaining her father thought she was unstable in NYC. All in all she gets my respect as a singer, song writer, artist and a respectable fan of music.

    As for all of you close minded, dipshits – that’s probably why you guys don’t get laid. :)

    Fantastic post, I favorited your blog so I can visit again in the near future, All the Best, Carmelia Febbo

  16. DevinWeiss Says:

    I read gossips almost everywhere, that absolutely nothing in Drag queen Gaga is original and that she is usually a copycat :-( I nevertheless really like Lady Gaga coZ she is awesome!

  17. Alphonse Blenker Says:

    I don’t like beyonce because she always does bad things , altough i like her voice

  18. steve Says:

    fuckin new it, listen to love game. under lying riff is heaps metal.

  19. Tester Says:

    lol, I love Lady Gaga!

  20. Evelynn Capps Says:

    Lady GaGa rocks, but is she really one of the most influential ppl?

  21. Shen Says:

    Funny how metalheads just try to deny this fact. Don’t get me wrong, I love metal in almost every form. However I have no trouble admitting I like Lady Gaga’s music a lot too. Besides, I think she has a rather varied and often bizarre background. Honestly, unlike what people might think from looking at just the surface, Gaga’s awfully “true” for modern pop.
