In her new video together with Beyonce, "something something telephone" LADY GAGA is seen wearing a studded leather jacket featuring logos from bands such as DOOM, ICONS OF FILTH and G.I.S.M
The punk rock world is having a field day with message boards lighting up worldwide wondering "why"?
Tell you what, I've got a few theories.
Firstly the video is directed by the Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund who once upon a time in the mid-80s was bashing the skins in BATHORY.
I don't know which one is his there in his loincloth. But if Gaga wanted a bit of a punky look then she'd want to get hold of a leather jacket and Jonas probably had one to hand...and that was it. There's one explanation.
Maybe he wanted to get a bit of crust punk into the world and did it on purpose.
Or....how much do we know about Lady Gaga herself? She actually strikes me that she might be one of these music/art-terrorist types and a bit wacky and off hand so maybe she herself did it on purpose. Maybe to inject a few of these names into to pop world or maybe just to make the whole punk world go...
HUH?
Well, I'm going "huh" after finding the following picture:
No idea what it is or if it's real or maybe someone just made it for a laugh to spread around the world (it's a parody of the DOOM 7" Police Bastard - original below).
Once again....
HUH?
******
ADDITION - Had to rock this today in tribute!

Hey.
Where did ya find the photo of the vinyl? Judging by the record behind it (GATES/Children of Technology split) I am guessing it’s from Japan. The cover art of that split is a special edition only sold at Boy Records, Tokyo.
Also, I am fairly certain that Jonas Åkerlund has never heard of GISM, Doom and Icons of Filth. He used to play in a classic black metal-band 25 years ago. How much punk and metal do you think he’s listened to since then?
…and Gaga’s stylist/friend/old strip partner is this here lady:

Why do people keep posting about this all day? Why do we have to make such a big deal out of it? I watched the video which by the way makes no sense at all and it seems that she changes 100 outfits! So why are we (punks, crusties, whatever) keep talking about it? I doubt that there are any crime investigators talking or tweeting about she being covered in yellow crime-scene tape, or waitresses about the stupid waitress uniform or even tigers about the tiger-outfit!
So why are we keep writing about it on blogs and message boards? Can't we just forget about it, why should we even care?
ps. The Gaga - Paparazzi Bastard (Doom cover parody) is HILARIOUS and I think it's the only thing actually worth mentioning. Of course it is not a real release (stop searching for it people), it is just photoshop. I think it was first uploaded on this forum
"I doubt that there are any crime investigators talking or tweeting about she being covered in yellow crime-scene tape"...ha ha I "lol'd"
Yeah, this has been posted and re-posted all day long now, the punk world going "uh?" - investigations actually show that the jacket is one that you can buy "ready made" (how punk is that?) from a Hot Topic style store in NYC.
And yup, sorry 138, the vinyl isn't real, but if Sonic Ritual make it to Borås I'll get my guitar and we'll record it - it'll sell a fortune with all the media today!
(tack för länken förresten! första gången jag fick kommentarer på bloggen!)
"investigations actually show that the jacket is one that you can buy "ready made" (how punk is that?) from a Hot Topic style store in NYC."
Hahaha! Punk investigators? Crusties with the right connections, talked to the right people and with the help of some summer/fashion shinheads got to solve the mystery about the origins of the jacket? :)
"Judging by the record behind it (GATES/Children of Technology split) I am guessing it’s from Japan. The cover art of that split is a special edition only sold at Boy Records, Tokyo."
Holy shit! Now THAT is punk investigation!! Kudos to you my friend for looking up all the small details to track down the record!
Cheers to both of you.
ps. Right now I'm listening to Misery (I keep forgetting how good they are), they sooo deserve to have their patch on the Lady Gaga's jacket! :P
"Hahaha! Punk investigators?"
That'd be me and Google.....I actually found the info on (ahem) Perz Hilton's blog.
I listened to Misery today too =)
138 - buy you a beer if you buy and wear a LADY GAGA t-shirt when you play with DOOM at punk illegal, I've already suggested it to Stick in DOOM (yup, I'll just pick up that name I dropped)
Doesitmatter, reply to your first comment regarding why why why but why we keep talking about it.
…cause it’s kinda funny?
Damnit that the Doom/Gaga thing was fake. But it looks so… real.
by some of the talk on various message boards it won't be long before someone actually records it for real!
Do you know where i can find a better picture of the gaga/doom record so i can make a screen of it for shirts??? Or the Gism one?
