narcoswing 1,129 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 So apparently Monster was released in NZ 6 years ago as a promo single, and it had it's own single cover (wiki discussion here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Monster_(Lady_Gaga_song)#iTunes). The cover seemed to be quite controversial but the sad thing is it can't be found anywhere anymore. Does anybody here have it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I just thinking that because those were the first leaks of the album?

whore 11,447 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I searched through the editing history of the Wikipedia article to find the photo they were referring to, and I did, but the image is now a dead link. See. It was added to the article on 27 August, 2010, at 11:01, a day before the discussion started. This is really interesting, I think I know what I'm going to be doing today! The discussion talks about what was depicted on the cover, and I honestly can't believe it, but I love that she even used it in the first place. They say that they removed the cover not because it featured nudity, but because it was sexually explicit. Disappointingly, someone mentions that it's "obviously fanmade," because they checked NZ iTunes, and it wasn't there. However, many of the people in the discussion mentioned that they know it's official because they saw it on iTunes, but they didn't know if there were rules regarding the sexuality of the image. EDIT: it's safe to say that it has somehow slipped under the cracks of the internet. The only website that discusses the single cover is the Wikipedia link that you gave. The single was only on iTunes for less than a week, and even though it charted, it still has no discussion on the Internet. Even the people on Wikipedia who wanted to see the cover couldn't find it on 29 August, 2010, just a day after they removed it. I'm going to message the people on Wikipedia who contributed to downloading or adding the photo and see what they have to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicaSkas 23,188 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 If there was controversy, it would have been a big deal on GGD in August 2010. I was here then, I'd just joined a couple of months earlier, but I don't remember this. However, it's possible it would have been discussed in the Media section back then the same as it is now. @DevilFeeL did you ever DL it back in the day? Perhaps @australiagaga?

ChicaSkas 23,188 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 This really intrigued me, that a New Zealand single would exist.. I went through my harddrives but I came up empty.
