I've never liked Lady Gaga, but she rocks on this song!

?The Tubes doing White Punks On Dope?? - YouTube

I don't get why you link this video to lady gaga.

If you want to link every queer looking guy with a strange outfit to her, you can take just about any vid from 80-s rock bands ;-)

(I'm probably missing something here, just can't see what)

I don't see what the big deal about her is. She is flat out ugly, has a terrible voice and should be in a state hospital. She is helping to ruin music one dollar at a time.

Seriously, look at this picture of her and then look at the Tube's singer (Fee Waybill).

She also basically stole her whole image by using other people's sticks. She tries to dress, say, do everything as outrageous as she can, and people think that's original?

Lady GaGa is fantastic,

catchy tunes, great vocals, great piano player, she has an awesome band and she is just wierd enough to attract attention.
But it is nothing that hasn't been done before.

She's a pop star. Since when was originality a requirement?

Pop success is all about image. She's only doing what she does because there's a huge appetite for it. That's the part that bothers me.

Gaga's vibe reminds me of Nina Hagen or Kate Bush back in the late 70's/early 80's
‪Nina Hagen - Ziggy Stardust [Live 1980]‬‏ - YouTube
and this
‪Nina Hagen - TV Glotzer (1978) Germany‬‏ - YouTube

‪Kate Bush - Tour of Life 1979 - Oh England My Lionheart‬‏ - YouTube

I don't like her music much (but then, I'm not crazy about most current pop), but when I see her interviewed I like her as a person. Either she's sincere in what she does, or she's fooled me real good.

Are you seriously comparing Gaga to Kate Bush ?


In some countries , there is death penalty for less than that.

I love Nina Hagen. and Kate Bush too. Never mind Gaga, I never minded her so much, but she's run out of ideas.

I'd just hate to be in the Tubes because of the singer's buttless-chaps. Ug.

Gaga is just a copy of great bands like Missing Persons, except her music is banal and bland. She's talented, but she writes throw away songs that sound like regurgitated Abba disco. And I like Abba.

The Tubes was a great band, and Fee didn't dress like that all the time. That was a character he played; Quay Lewd.
