Curio5 516 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Alex Skolnick a guitarist from the group TESTAMENT says Grammy collaboration absolutely makes sense and offered suggestions on how to appease those hard core metal fans. "[It was a] great idea in theory. Would have/should have gone down in history as a home run for the ages. Unfortunately to be forever overshadowed by mic problems (can't fault anyone performing) and failed intro (please make sure all presenters do a quick run-through before going on)." "A) What other mainstream pop superstar would even dare get up there with METALLICA (or any other metal band)? B) Who else could pull off performing with Tony Bennett one moment and METALLICA the next, with equal love and appreciation for both? C) Sure, it was maybe a bit over-the-top for those more interested in METALLICA than her. But then again, she is Gaga, after all (over the top is her middle name, or at least should be). D) Yes, she does lot of theatrics, but she's also someone that can kill with just her voice and a piano (which I hope she'll do more of one day). E) Given her and Lars's [Ulrich, METALLICA drummer] interest in art and doing the unexpected in music, it absolutely makes sense they'd collaborate. F) Bottom line, did she sound good on the tune if you turn away from the imagery and just listen? Heck yes! Great song choice, too." "Why was there a freakin' Zumba class going on up there? Whose idea was that? Get real fans up there rocking out for effect (as METALLICA does at some shows), but a bunch of obvious pop dancers/models in metal-like wardrobe gave it a very 'Hot Topic' vibe."

I barely even noticed the background dancers besides the very beginning of the song and Gaga was expressing her excitement through her body. I though her energy was infectious and entertaining to watch. Her moves are intense and over the top but that's what makes her interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
