Eccentric pop icon Lady Gaga has revealed her biggest inspiration – not Madonna, not Marilyn Manson, but veteran rockers Iron Maiden.
Gaga is a massive fan of the band, and claimed that they had ‘changed her life’ after first finding out about them. She told the Rolling Stone of her first time seeing the band, after watching them performing on April 17th in Florida – and she loved it.
“It was just awesome. We were dancing and singing and everyone was just so into it. Jumping and dancing… I mean, it was like absolute no judgment, no prejudice, [just] freedom and love for music.
“It doesn't matter who you are; you don't need to know anything about music to love it. Everybody was hugging me, high-fiving, fistpumps in the air.”
Clearly, Gaga loved her first run around in a moshpit – but the star didn’t stop there, and went on to talk about how much Bruce Dickinson and the guys have inspired her in her ambitions to be remembered forever.
“The devotion of the fans moving in unison, pumping their fists, watching the show - when I see that, I see the paradigm for my future and the relationship I want to have with my fans.
"Iron Maiden's never had a hit song, and they tour stadiums around the world, and their fans live, breathe and die for Maiden, and that is my dream. That is my dream."
How long is it until Gaga turns up on stage dressed as their iconic mascot Eddie?
