Once again, Lady Gaga has declared her love for heavy metal.
Speaking to SiriusXM, Gaga talked at length about bands including Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, which you can see in the player below:
"I just saw Iron Maiden on their 'Frontier' tour and it totally changed my life. It was my first Maiden experience and I just realized in that moment in the show that that was the kind of artist I wanted to be.
"I didn't want people… 30 years from now coming to see my show to see if I've still got it. But rather I wanted them to be fully unified, fists in the air, wanna hear every song. Iron Maiden's a lifestyle and those fans… live and die by Maiden."
We last reported on Gaga attending an Iron Maiden gig, where we shared a photo of the pop star posing with drummer Nicko McBrain, but now a new backstage image of Gaga with Bruce Dickinson has surfaced which you can see below.
The feeling between metal and pop seems to be mutual here. Ozzy Osbourne was quoted as saying "She's very clever, very interesting. She's wacky and I like the zaniness of that woman."
Headline says she 'lives and dies by Maiden'? But she just saw Maiden for the first time? All these articles ever say is that she listens to Sabbath and Maiden, and I can't understand why there have been about 6 articles on UG about this...

SEO purposes for better search results on google IMHO.
Pop stars listening to rock music is nothing new Gaga. Stop giving these shite interviews and trying to win over the rock audience, it's boring and pointless
Compared to most artist now a days, Gaga isn't bad. She has a lot more talent than most artist because A.) She can actually sing. B.) She can actually play instruments. and C.) She actually puts on a really good concert like most shock rock artist of the past... Watch the HBO special she did.
I love Iron Maiden, why don't these guys make a news article 'bout that. Here's a tip, Gaga, nobody gives a flying **** what music you like, 'cause it sure as hell ain't improved your music.
She's just trying to gain some credibility and suck up to people by saying the likes these bands. It's a clever move but not really all that believable.
Bruce is like, what the hell is she doing here? Look at his facial and body expression. Priceless. Hes probably thinking, couldnt they get me a better hooker for the night hahaha
Well this makes sense, Iron Maiden sucks and so does Lady Gaga, they were made for each other. Before you Maiden fans freak out, just remember, this is an opinion, everyone has one.

Not quite sure what to think of this. If she has always liked metal and would die to be a metal artist she should have chosen that path before she destroyed my hearing at the nightclub I work at. (Not all of her songs are bad btw, i'm a very open minded music listener) It will be interesting to she her career turn around so suddenly, if it does at all.

are you retarded?
He's actually right. And let's not forget, she also writes her own music.
a large demographic of people listen to iron maiden, very large. also when she says she wants to be the same kind of artist, she clearly means long lasting appeal and a big catalogue of hits, not metal. another poor news story
Lol you people saying "We dont believe her" and "she is trying to win over the rock audience" are so stupid. You guys just WANT no one else to like your music. Iron maiden are a great group and put on a good show (ive seen them only once though ), its not that suprising that gaga likes them. Most people do

being able to sing and play an instrument means nothing if your songs/albums are generic crap.

ITT: nobody has a clue about pop music.
Haters gonna hate.
Yes, she's very talented alright. There's a reason why she got accepted at NYU Tisch School of Arts. Seen her during sound check. She can sing and play piano great. Sadly, classical concertos and opera won't do too well these days, and that's what she does when she warms up and does sound check. Wish the general public can see more of that. She's also considered a 'ghost-writer'...when she's done with her own thing, she'll still be raking in money from the hits that she has composed for other artists. Artists like her do listen to more than one genre, so I'm not surprised that she likes metal. So what if she likes to listen to metal, that's great! At least she's not one-sided.
Ever notice that a lot of major pop acts (like MJ, Madonna, Bowie and Rihanna) turn their live shows into rock shows?...and even in the studio, hiring guitar-vituosos, like Nuno Bettencourt, Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Reeves Gabrel and Orianthi....and then there's Prince.
Jesus Christ, what a hypocrite she is. “Oh I love metal and Iron Maiden is the best band ever.” Yes, Iron Maiden is ****ing awesome but for God’s sake don’t lie to your legion of gay fans! I don’t hear Iron Maiden in your music. I hear someone looking for attention and not caring about anything else but money.
1) As far as POP goes, LG actually is talented. 2) She is also a moronic pain in the ass. 3) At least she gives credit where it's due. 4) If it wasn't for quality music like Rock and Metal, Pop and Rap starts would have nothing with which to supplement their music (sampling, etc.). 5) Whatever you think about any of the people or music involved, that is actually a hilarious picture.

I did watch the HBO special. When I go to a concert, I want entertainment. I don't want a lecture on how I'm not a good person if I don't accept the gay community. And I could care less if she got made fun of in high school. What makes her so special? EGO! She brings half the shit on herself with this gay rights stuff.

Whatever. If you're a Maiden fan with even a bit of money and you're as old as she is you don't just recently have your first Maiden experience and you're most likely not a diehard as you claim to be...
Why are we giving her any credit for being into a certain kind of music? She just want's into the drummers pants..

That is extremely sad and that's why I look at it opposite. She's completely average because she writes her own music.. None of it is impressive and the only reason she can even be seen as talented is in comparison to the 'music' on the radio. Still a stretch..
I like Maiden, I write my own music, I have a d!ck. I could be Lady Gaga to.

that may all be true... But she still sounds exactly like all the other over-processed soulless pop on the radio. She really doesn't have any special defining musical characteristics in her albums, she just dresses strange and yeah puts on a good show from what I've heard.
Honestly, I'm a metalhead to the end and I hate Gaga with a dying passion, but...
Everyone should check out the cover version of "Born This Way" by Ol' Drake from Evile. When Gaga sings to metal, she's actually bareable. It's almost like Fergie's appearance on the Slash album. Their voices are so powerful and perfectly suited to hardrock/metal, but they refuse to focus on those genres because they won't make as much money doing so.
It's a crying damn shame, but that's the world we live in. Greedy greedy.
If she was such a die-hard rock/metal fan how come it has only come up a couple of months ago? I don't remember her saying anything of the like when her first couple of hits came out
I find there are two kinds of people when it comes to Gaga. People who say she is innovative, different and genuinely original, and then the people who say she is just an average artist in a current industry of shit. I'm with the latter, not disputing that she has talent, I just find her songs to be fairly average and not hugely original like everyone seems to claim she is.
let's get something straight here. love or hate lady gaga's music, she's brilliant at what she does. she's clearly insane, but channels it into being utterly committed to her music.
if that's something she got from listening to bands like iron maiden... then good for her.
if it goes some way to taking down the psychological barrier mainstream music fans have about listening to heavy metal, that's a good thing.
so what's all the fuss about?
iron maiden's fanbase crosses over the predicted demographics of heavy metal bands... well i was already pretty aware of that. all i'd say is, UG, this is a bum article. is there on other news right now?
Does UG make these articles for flame wars? Some people like Gaga, but not Maiden. Some people like Maiden, but not Gaga. Soem like both, some like neither. And the fact that an artist likes another artist is not news. Paul Gilbert likes Katy Pery's music, and Freddie Mercury liked Aritha Franklin's music. Do we need all these stories, no we don't.
if lady gaga was devoted to metal she should listen to a lot more than just maiden (not that theirs anything wrong i love iron maiden, just saying that in order to back herself up she needs to listen to more)

+1,000,000,000,000
i lol'd at this.But skullivan is definitely right.
I'm no fan of either artist but at least have respect for them as an artist.Big deal so gaga listens to metal.it's nothing really.Right now,you guys are sounding like a group of immature 13 year old fan boys.An important job for an artist is to appreciate other genres.That's why some artists's albums incorporate other genres of music mixed with their own.

+infinite to you.I love Iron Maiden and i think it's nothing wrong for gaga to like maiden.We as people have interests too,that's why we hate certain things and like certain others.
For how much complaining that goes on about how everyone listens to shitty music, it's really surprising that when somebody praises great music there's only more complaining. If Lady Gaga converts one person from mainstream pop or rap music to Iron Maiden (or Black Sabbath), we should be happy

You're an idiot. If you really are against the gay community, you have the intelligence of a rock. She's standing up for people who are constantly bashed by religious morons and redneck inbreds.
Then die, please die, for iron maiden, the world along with maiden would be much better off without you
Thats pretty ignorant. The woman is praising Iron Maiden fans for being loyal and passionate while giving props to heavy metal.
You might not agree with her style of music, but at least shes not being an a**hole like you are.
I happen to find her highly entertaining and a refreshing change from the standard corporate pop manufacturing.
wow...+whateveramount i'm a maiden fan too and i kind of agree.i don't find her highly entertaining but i think she definitely beats out a lot of the other crap music artists.i do have to agree that melodeath is sounding like those retarded kids from yahoo.at least have some integrity and respect...unless you have none.
Let's just say that any fan of Iron Maiden is a good thing, but that doesn't make them a good person. Gaga is a joke of an artist, and if she likes Iron Maiden, that won't change the fact that her core audience is likely to not care within 1 or 2 years. Iron Maiden gained an audience through music, Gaga gained an audience through marketing and image.
She needs to become a fan of Devin Townsend, as I find Townsend to be a correct depiction of why everything Gaga does sucks.
Lady Gaga did pop music to make money, and there is nothing wrong with that. She could have slummed it like the rest of us, but she decided, "You know what, I'd rather be able to live well." I repeat, there is nothing wrong with that. I think she knows her music isn't amazing, but she also knows how to write a hooky pop song that can get big. That's a talent in and of itself.

uh not really.i remember on tv in 2008 when her song poker face came out.it became insanely popular along with the likes of just dance.from there she gained a loyal audience dying to see more material from her.that marketing stuff was when she fought for gay rights,which is a big deal in the usa.I think you're referring to her with those crazy outfits.but imho,she was quite different in 2008.
All this senseless bashing makes me sad. It's like, if the genre is pop, the music is automatically vacuous and shitty.
I listen to Lady Gaga, I actually like her a lot. Her music isn't shitty. Regardless of if you like the sound, or the genre, or whatever, her music is much more intricate and layered and well thought out than the majority of music that is out these days, yes including a lot of metal.
And if you think pop music is unintelligent processed digital shit, you need to sit your ass down behind a keyboard and try to make the music that she does. I guarantee you you won't be able to.
i actually like Gaga, and Maiden are one of my favorite bands ever. i dont really see a reason why people cant listen to pop and metal, but thats just my opinion...
Well, I like Lady Gaga a lot. She is very talented. Great voice and is pretty thankful to her fans. The article asking if her love for rock n roll is genuine is stupid though. Of course it is. She used to cover a Led Zeppelin song in clubs called D'yer Maker. And she did a damn good job of it.
For those of you saying that "if gaga lives and dies by iron maiden then why bla bla bla" read the article and not just the title. she said the FANS live and die by iron maiden. Although her true devotion and love for rock/metal is a tad bit questionable, the influence musicians like alice cooper, rob zombie, and manson have on her live shows are, in my opinion, pretty obvious. though i would never buy her music nor pay to see her show (though i did watch her HBO special), i do respect her as an artist. What separates her from other pop stars is that she can ACTUALLY sing and play an instrument.
[quote]I love Lady Gaga. Anyone who says she puts out "genereic" pop clearly hasn't listened to the Born This Way album all the way through./quote]
Heres the thing, most people who said they like a pop star normally mean they like their singles most won't go out of their way to listen to their music. Thus is no shock that people say she puts out generic music because most of her singles are generic catchy pop songs.

Booohooo you sad ****s, its nice that she likes this music in the first place. Unlike the majority commenting on this, at least her taste in music isn't limited to 1 genre.
So what!? SO WHAT!? Do we really need a news update every time an artist says they like a certain kind of music?
Honestly, who cares? Lady GaGa likes Iron Maiden, big deal! Iron Maiden rocks!! Why shouldn't she like them! It doesn't make their music any less epic, or her music any less crappy. (Or vice versa if you feel that way..)
Headline says "I live and die by Iron Maiden"...article says GaGa just said the fans live and die by iron maiden. Where do they come up with these headlines?
And again i ask myself (and everyone that thinks he/she can answer xD) how can a girl that listens to such good music do such crappy music?
easy.
its because she's smarter than you.
she likes metal, but she likes money more... can you really blame her? the pop industry is so transparent and un-talented its like taking candy from a baby... well, an unintelligent baby with no taste in music.
i gotta say though, the whole 'live and die by iron maiden' thing sounds pretty stupid coming from a first time concert goer.. its not like she has to scrape together money for a maiden concert trip like i do.

Grow up you guys.
Username and ending comment coupled with rest of comment makes me think troll.
OT: I don't see the news being repeated about Lady Gaga liking metal very neccessary, but if she actually does like metal then good for her.
Also at those complaining that writing her own music only makes her average, writing pop songs and singing them is much less common than in metal, most pop songs are ghost-written, so it puts her above average with regards to pop artists.

Really? I'm a troll for having a username that you don't approve of, and stating my opinion that it doesn't matter what kind of music Lady GaGa likes?
And I'm the troll? Because I told people to 'grow up?' Clearly, you haven't read any of the other comments here.
Besides dude, you and I are BOTH defending her right now!
Her music is fairly good. Quite enjoy it. Not a fan of her general celebrity persona. However, the points she made about Iron Maiden here were fair enough. For once it doesn't come across as some cynical attempt to win over some additional fanbase, she has actually drawn on what she enjoyed about a concert and tried to emulate it in her own work. I think that's perfectly respectable
Lady Gaga makes fun music. She has talent in singing and playing classical piano. She loves metal music...people are so blind about her just because she makes pop music...I'm a total ****ing metal head but I'm defending Lady Gaga because I actually know what the **** I'm talking about. Think before you speak people. And one more thing, no her voice is not auto corrected so don't try arguing about that.
Alot of you guys are missing the boat big time on what to take away from this article. Gaga is famous for expelling tons of energy to learn how to become famous. So when she says she loves Maiden even though shes just discovered them, and admires their fan base, its because she wants to learn how to make such a large long living fan base.
The whole point of her listening to maiden is to discover how they create such a long term huge fanbase. Theres now way she hadn't heard of them before in the 30 some odd years shes been alive. So im calling shenanigans
It's funny how nobody talks about James Hetfield liking Shakira, or his brief obsession with Hello Kitty merchandise.....
What's the problem? Shakira's nice, fun and makes decent music. If you're around Hello Kitty fans (fans, not fanatics) long enough, you'll find her charm irresistable. And while James Hetfield's had his good and bad patches, he doesn't come across in interviews as some contrived outrageous celebrity persona.
Pop's pop and while her music is better than her genre peers, I don't get or care for the "I am Gaga" thing she does.
Perhaps she is a legitimate IM fan and that she is trying to introduce some of her pop fans to a heavier genre rather than trying to pose for the insignificant metal minority?

Oh I have no problem. What I'm saying is you don't see pop fans getting on him for that and other metal or hard rock stars with similar issues. There's nothing wrong with shakira( hell I wouldn't mind listening to Pink once in awhile) but my point is that the overall personanlity of metal fans these days is very distasteful, and it shows how poor the quality of people are these days..

are you retarded?
Wait, so shes been talkin nonstop about how much metal "influences" her and how shes such a hardcore Maiden fan, but this was her "first Maiden experience?" WTF? I mean, I really actually like her music, and she seems alright as a person (a little obnoxious maybe,) but why make such a big deal about liking metal? To me it seems like she just wants to add to her image of "look, I'm not a typical pop star!!!!"
Also, by the end of the article, it basically sounds like she just admires Maiden's longevity and diversely-aged fanbase more than anything.
Does UG make these articles for flame wars? Some people like Gaga, but not Maiden. Some people like Maiden, but not Gaga. Soem like both, some like neither. And the fact that an artist likes another artist is not news. Paul Gilbert likes Katy Pery's music, and Freddie Mercury liked Aritha Franklin's music. Do we need all these stories, no we don't.
But it is news, as much as pretty much all of us don't care. You explained it in your writing. Wouldn't know Freddy liked Aretha Franklin if he didn't tell a media outlet. Same with Paul Gilbert telling a media outlet he likes Katy Perry. We don't care, but there's some strange 5% population that is interested, and it spreads like wildfire.
"OMG did you hear that Lady Gaga likes Iron Maiden!?" "Yeah totally, although that's not really news cause I've listened to them like forever, OMG they're so awesome" and then scenesters are going to be donning Maiden shirts like they've been lifelong fans.
To everyone saying "Gaga sucks because her music is generic pop shit". Who cares? She's good at what she does and she puts passion into her music. Iron Maiden also put passion into their music. Big deal, she likes Maiden. Just because she doesn't play metal and isn't br00tal enough doesn't mean she's bad.
Also, big deal, she's only been to one Maiden concert. Boohoo. I love RHCP to death and I've never seen them. That doesn't make me any less of a fan though
All I'm hearing from all these "wah Lady Gaga likes the same music as me I have to justify it by disbelieving it" is a bunch of pissed off hipster metal heads upset that more then 10 people like Heavy Metal and Rock. Also, if we'll recall for a second, she didn't just find some random press dude to take this down, someone saw her at the show and asked her themselves, and she answered, this isn't just some publicity stunt, she is famous on her own right and legitimized in her own right without Bruce Dickinson being involved. Plus, all the haters saying "wah first maiden show **** you" are basically saying she couldn't have possibly enjoyed Maiden without seeing them before, she could've liked em since a kid for all you know. I've never seen em live, too expensive and I'm too poor, but I've been listening and head banging to them since I was 5, guess I can't be a real fan thought right?
Lady Gaga likes Iron Maiden. Get over it. Nobody was there to harass you when you started liking them.
Isn't that how fans are made? You like an artists music therefore you're a fan? I didn't know you needed acceptence from the League of Extraordinary Metal-douches first.
Pop stars listening to rock music is nothing new Gaga. Stop giving these shite interviews and trying to win over the rock audience, it's boring and pointless
Bruce is like, what the hell is she doing here? Look at his facial and body expression. Priceless. Hes probably thinking, couldnt they get me a better hooker for the night hahaha
if its not metal, its shit. pop is the devil blah blah. i like maiden and gaga. she actually has a metal track on her new albumyeah electric chapel is a great song.
That's what I was gona say.... her new album has a lot more metal influences..... a lot more. There's even one track which sounds a lot like old school NIN and then guitar solos and others. I genuinely think she's pretty talented.

You guys do realise that she was probably specifically asked what kind of music she liked to listen to? It's not like she's just bleating about Iron Maiden to be popular. Why would she want to be popular amongst idiots like you anyway? This site frustrates me.
Lady gaga is kinda a good artist, she tries to teach people right from wrong like telling kids not to have sex or do drugs and standing up for your sexuality, that's good but IMO her music sucks, good messages but shity music. I think it's fine that she likes metal and perform something else. I listen to good old metal (metallica,megadeth, slayer) and some new stuff namely trivium and LoG) but my guitar playing style is very bluesy, not heaps of shreding, more bends etc. But she shouldn't make a massive deal about liking Iron Maiden, lots of people do.
at my uni and at my old 6th form metalheads are/were social pariahs and then you get this one dickhead who then comes up to you and acts really nice until you realise theyre either making fun of you or reaching out to you like a charity....thats all i see gagas doing here: shes seeing metal as a genre to be supported because it makes her feel better about being undeservedly popular herself...at least in this case maiden can just tell her to go **** herself (which she probably could as well)

Or she could like Iron Maiden. She's a Zep fan so I don't see why it's so unlikely that she's an Iron Maiden fan.

It was my first Maiden experience and I just realized in that moment in the show that that was the kind of artist I wanted to be .
Then I guess she failed.
How come so many shity pop "artists" like Kesha, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga are revealing what their influences and favourite music, alll their silly fans won't have s clue of what Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath is.
), its not that suprising that gaga likes them. Most people do
Let the shitstorm that is exactly the same as the last one commence.
