“Tours on every continent...”

*Even Antarctica?*

Yes even Antarctica.

"I've heard Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman." This guy needs to listen to more Metallica. Also, Lady Gaga has never looked so hot than she did with them.

[Casey_S]

Metallica... Does not... Do... Death growls....

[Gimmeedollars]

"Death Growls?" Has this chick ever heard a Metallica song before?

[cominooculto]

Lady Gaga is an amazing artists; with amazing vocals, plays several instruments, produces/composes/writes her own music, she has an incredible great taste in music and she is a perfectionist who knows exactly how shit needs to get done. Metallica appreciated her talent cause they saw it on her and they loved it.

[Grimeyhoob]

I have never heard metallica do deathgrowls, ever. The closest may have been Newsted's backing vocals, but even that was no death growl. Is she mixing up obituary with metallica?

[destroslash]

metallica does death growls?... please do show me where I can find these songs lmao

[OKcheesusTV]

"Death growls"--lmao. Whoever wrote that segment has no clue who Metallica is

[ReijiAoeGirl]

Honestly? This was a great collaboration, and Lady Gaga was pleasant during the rehearsal and sang really well. I'm not a Gaga-fan, but I can give credit where credit is due.

[petersoakell]

We all know who Metallica are, mean you can buy a tea shirt in H&M. lol.

[yeahugh]

Metallica is awesome. I was surprised, when I heard lady gaga with Metallica, I was skeptical, but she nailed it.

[bbeitel]

To be honest, I could totally see Lady Gaga singing metal. She has a great voice and enough versatility to sing anything. She crushed it on "Moth Into Flame!" I've been a Metallica fan since 1983. I've been disappointed with a lot of the stuff since the first four albums, but this new record and Death Magnetic were both great. Can't wait to catch them on tour!

[KristineMaitland]

Sound of Music. Tony Bennett. Sting. David Bowie. Nothing Lady Gaga does musically will surprise me. What makes her stand out is that she is willing to do the work to make the music work as best she can (I would argue that she is strongest in the jazz/trad pop spectrum).. The only surprise is that she did not do this with Metallica sooner. *Smile* She is, in essence, a fangirl through and through.

[chasewellner]

whaaaat? you're saying people who play in metal bands can have normal lives too?

[Oldmanflyfishing]

We are the same age as Metallica.. We grew up listening to them and as long as they put it out, I am listening till I can't anymore.

[theadventureparent]

They are just cute. It's so good to see that they made it through the craziness, they are happy, aging gracefully and having fun. All those parents that were terrified of Metallica and Heavy Metal, had nothing to worry about after all.

[muthaducker]

gotta love how the interview guy doesn't know shit but doesn't shy from it, at least he didn't ask about "death growls" I'll give him that

[REVOisMYname]

Death growls... So cringeworthy. Now I know what memesters mean when they call someone a "normie"
