It's watched in nearly every US household with television, by all ages. Heterosexual GP viewers aged 35-55 who were major music buyers in the mid-80's to mid-90's during their teens and 20's were MASSIVE fans of metal. And it has been completely absent from the music scene for decades. And they are kinda pissed about it, tbh. Yet, their adoration for metal (and identification with the culture) remains unchanged. If Gaga brought this energy back to mainstream audiences on the largest stadium stage (where it belongs), she would win over the GP like we have never seen. And imagine her doing this after 2 years of singing jazz standards!! GP would see this as a complete 180. OMG!!!! It's a "gimme." And it's 100% authentic for her.

I get what you're saying, but if you choose the right metal song, it can be very accessible. Take this song for example (the lyrics obviously aren't suitable for SB, but it was the last song I listened to so I used it as an example): The vocals are pretty metal, but the guitar riffs are insanely catchy (which is something pop fans would love). The song has an energy like no other and can really get a stadium going. I think it really has something for everyone (and by everyone, I mean most people). And it's not like it's so offensive that people who aren't fans would turn it off. The point of it is to show Gaga's versatility and feed the older male demographic something to chew on (also, Gaga's a huge metalhead so I'm sure she would love doing a metal cover). Also, she would be covering and performing with legendary metal bands, which are tried and tested and do have mass appeal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is MADE for stadium shows like the Super Bowl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me the metal rock legends . We all know Gaga is a metal head but the world DOesnt plus she said it herself she's the next iron maiden I wanna see her rocking with Eddie mask and lighting **** on fire and burning it down for one segment of the show !!! I would die if Gaga brought out Iron maiden or even KISS or SLIPKNOT as special guests for a metal/rock section the straights will be slayed . It will really put the electric rock show spirit back into the super bowl . I LOVE METAL but lot of you queens hate it but it will bring a whole new audience by getting the gays to get into iron maiden and the straights to get into her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
