Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!! KISS/Gaga collaboration?

[Soot and Stars]

I don't know! I hate musical restrictions. I say try it all. Seriously, one song in a career that could actually come out as something interesting. I say go for it.

^^^ That's spot on, plus Kesha has really juvenile silly lyrics in her songs. At least Gaga can be somewhat artistic at times.

Exactly. This is precisely why Ke$ha should record with Kiss, instead of Gaga.

What has Kiss done that's artistic? Other than The Elder, which is generally considered their biggest misstep. Kiss's songs are about partying and sex. Ke$ha's songs are about partying and sex. A match made in heaven if I've ever seen one.

I doubt that anyone could say with a straight face that Love Gun, Calling Dr. Love, Detroit Rock City, and Rock N Roll All Nite are deep, intellectual songs that could have fallen out of Lennon's songbook. They're perfect, masterfully executed songs about getting trashed and having sex. That's what makes Kiss great, and that's what makes Kiss be Kiss instead of Bob Dylan or Yes or Slayer. That's the same role Ke$ha fills today.

Mind you, I like Ke$ha a lot more than I like Gaga. Ke$ha is one of my favorite artists. I consider her a veritable genius of mindless fun just like Kiss devotees see Kiss. That's why I chose to put them together. I think Ke$ha's lyrics can be pretty brilliant in their stark articulation of a care-free life, I'm sure some Kiss fans would praise Kiss's lyrics as well. But if any of us want to pretend these aren't party songs, we'd be fooling ourselves.

Gaga and KISS are both very theatrical, MetalPriest couldn't be any more spot on about that. But y'know.. I just can't help looking at it strictly in musical terms, since the theatrics aren't important to me personally, in either case. I could definitely see Kiss & Gaga doing a concert collaboration, but if it's a studio thing I think it should be Kiss with Ke$ha.

The thing about Gaga is that she is indeed somewhat more artistic, and she has a much more extravagant opinion of her role as artiste. Which puts her more in league with someone like Axl than with Kiss, if you ask me. Gaga wants to have a message, and she does. And I love her for it.

But Kiss and Ke$ha also have a message. Their message is to shut the heck up and have some gd fun already dammit. They want to rock your faces off. Is that so wrong?

I mean, I can't really take an artist seriously when she doesn't even know how to spell her own name correctly. Put a damn S in your name, a dollar sign doesn't work.

You're being very silly. Led Zeppelin. Enuff Z'Nuff. 2pac. ..........THE BEATLES. I mean, heck even Jimi spelled his name wrong. And I guess you've got no love for my favorite Roy Buchanan song, Roy's Bluz.

People already hate Kiss and Ke$ha. Not everyone sees the two as enemies, though. More than a few people are noticing how closely connected the ideology of glam and hair metal is to modern pop. The artists themselves seem to also see the connection, which is probably why Paul brought this up in the first place.

Yeah, I was being a bit silly If Ke$ha and Kiss did do something together, I wouldn't make a huge deal out of it. I'd just accept it and let it go.

Well...KISS fans need not fret. At least for now anyway. Queen's Brian May have mentioned that he has discussed Lady GaGa singing with them. Here's an excerpt...

"Gaga, whose stage name was inspired by Queen's 1984 hit 'Radio Ga Ga,' has been in talks with Queen guitarist Brian May about the collaboration, as May told Britain's Daily Express. "We talk about going out on the road all the time but there's a bit of a singer problem to put it mildly. We get a lot of offers to work with other people. I worked with Lady Gaga and she's very creative and is someone we've talked about singing, fronting the band with."

Axl's artistic?

If I were going to pick a classic icon that I'd like to see GaGa work with...I'd go with David Bowie. They've both got the theatrics and the artistic thing going for them. Plus, I'd be happy with ANYTHING that gets Bowie out of retirement.

I think he tries to be. Like when he covered Charles Manson, for example. I don't think Gaga is particularly artistic either, but she definitely strives towards that. Her music DOES have a good message, one that I love. But I think frankly so does Ke$ha and Kiss's... Gaga and Axl still play party music when it comes down to it.

I like your Bowie idea though, that'd work very well.

Well, this doesn't seem like an impossibility as Brian May and Lady Gaga have already come together for one of her songs from Born This Way...

Yoü and I (Not exactly my favorite song from the album, but anywho...)

That would work. Gaga has listed Bowie as one of her influences, along with the likes of Madonna and Freddie Mercury.

 

[METALPRIEST]

I also like the Bowie/ GaGa idea...that would work.

 

[Metal Health]

I think that this is totally cool. Good job Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons for at least considering this. Yes, Gaga is WAY different and more for the female fans, but it would be good for them to work with people who aren't exactly their style. They don't need a great album or concert. KISS has already solidified themselves as one of the best rock bands in history. Nothing to lose. Great job KISS!

Really. After group humping the disco ball there is nothing left to defile. Could actually be something interesting. Given I don't care for either's music these days I am highly doubtful but what the hell?
