There are such plans but I can't give away anything. 

I wrote her on insta and we met some time later in Czech Republic during their concert. And actually Wanderers is a very decent album imo :P

 

wow that's awesome! so cool that she's so approachable. hahaha yeah i was being a bit hyperbolic, it is a very decent album i agree, the thing is that decent is not good enough for me hahaha and i also moved on a bit from the more typical symphonic metal sound, you know? like i have not the same passion for it anymore...

First spark: poker face music video

The first time was literally when I first saw the Just Dance video in 2008. I had no idea who she was, but I knew immediately there was something about her that was different and something I loved. I remember talking about her to friends and nobody had any idea who she was and I would tell them how cool she was and that I think she was going to be huge. Then a few months later she was the biggest star in the world

The last time was watching House of Gucci, because I was reminded what a once in a generation talent she is and  how multi-dimensional and versatile she is as an entertainer

I was 8 years old when I was first introduced to Gaga. Poker Face was just released as a single. I remember watching the music video for the first time and how it left me mesmerized. I though (and still) the song was perfection, the looks in the MV amazed me, and you know being 8 years old, Gaga felt kinda out of this world for me. Then a couple of months later (in March 2009) she performed Poker Face at a talent show in my country, it was the first time I saw her performing on live TV and again, I was simply amazed. 

The last spark was the Super Bowl for me. Of course, I’ve been more than happy with what she’s done since then, but watching her perform the Super Bowl made me feel the SAME way I did watching her perform Poker Face when I was 8. I had tears in my eyes during the whole performance. It was like, damn, this woman still makes me feel this spark even 10 years later… 

But realistically speaking, ASIB, the Grammy/Oscars season in 2019, the release of Rain On Me MV and Chromatica and HOG were the last sparks. It made me feel so proud of that woman I adore so much since 13 years. I wouldn’t be the same person without her tbh.

Probably because this genre is dying for like 10 years now

omg you think that? i think it's pretty active nowdays, of course it had its heyday like 15 years ago with nightwish and stuff, in my case is just that i moved on to more obscure and extreme stuff, i still listen to some few bands.

[PartySick 160,875]

The first time was Swinefest. Specifically her introducing Swine. I felt that. "I felt like trash. Nothing but skin and hair, empty. Used up." Then following all that emotion up with an angry banger like Swine? F*ck  

The last time I felt something similar had to be my JWT date when she was talking about, then performing, Joanne. I think that "pain changes us so much that we may not even recognize ourselves" view is enlightened.

First: DWUW on Alan Carr Chattyman (first watched it in 2015).

Last: National Anthem at the 2021 inauguration.

Out of the greatest bands in the genre only Epica released a good album lately.

i liked the last epica album too, it was very good, i just don't find myself coming back to it really.
I think that lately the legendary band that came with an outstanding album is Theatres Des Vampires with In Nomine Sanguinis, so far the greatest album they've released in years, symphonic goth metal mastery honestly.
and there's also a lot of smaller bands that are making better albums than the greatest ones in the genre.

When was the first moment you became a fan of Lady Gaga. 

No specific moment, it just happened naturally in late 2008/early 2009. I'd say Eh, Eh and LoveGame signed the final deal.

 

What was the last time she lived up to that first spark you had

If you're talking about the peak of our excitement, I'd say when I first heard Is That Alright? and Do What U Want

 

Can you compare and contrast the differences in how you feel

I feel she's tired, she doesn't wanna make music as much anymore, and I understand it because she's passionate, and you can't stay like that if you pull a TF/TFM/BTW all the time, you get used to everything and it's not exciting anymore. I thought her musical domination would last a bit longer, but I didn't expect that she'd be that solidified as quickly. Her success doesn't surprise me one bit though, just the timing
