It’s funny seeing the reaction to Lady Gaga appearing on Rock Band next week, as people seem equally parts horrified and excited. I have to admit to being on a bit of a kick of her music- it’s fun and really catchy as shit, and some of the stuff gets downright dark. (I know, time to turn in my metalhead card. Does it matter that I was listening to Accept and Carcass this morning?)
Her new video for “Telephone” has only solidified how cool she is, though, because it’s a basically a short Women in Prison exploitation film. She recently talked to E! Online about the obvious Tarantino influence- “There certainly is a Tarantino-inspired quality in the video,” she says. “I mostly love the way he uses different forms to create something new. His direct involvement in the video came from him lending me the Pussy Wagon . We were having lunch one day in Los Angeles and I was telling him about my concept for the video and he loved it so much he said, ‘You gotta use the Pussy Wagon.'”
The director of the video Jonas Åkerlund has done videos for everyone from Metallica to Madonna to The Prodigy, and even that infamous “Pussy” video by Rammstein that hit last year. Just avoid the rampant advertising here and you’ll be good to go. Most probably NSFW though, folks.

This shit gets posted before Bruce Willis appearing in the new Gorillaz video? Seriously…. the video is ass. Metal card revoked!
Did someone pimping gorillaz really just try to revoke someone else's metal card?
^ Too funny.
Well, Gorillaz were sampling Romero's Dawn and Day of the Dead a decade ago, way before the current zombie craze took over, and way before Lady Gaga decided to stain the world with this garbage. Gorillaz definitely have a lot more street/artistic cred than Lady Cigarette Face.
Not even the slowest of news days warrants unleashing this shit on your viewers.
No.
You have to appreciate to uniqueness of the wardrobe, and the talent it took to bring them to life. Their is a lot of great stuff going on in this music video.
I guess it's kinda hard to sell out when you have no soul left.
Jesus- who EXACTLY invented auto tune? They need some pancakes.
What the f@ck was that?
Just because a music company pays you to wear bubble wrap and/or tin foil does not mean you're an artist.
A decent amount of titflesh, but other than that just a 9 minute ad for suck.
First Lady Gaga song I've heard with the exception of the cover Cartman did and a cover a friend's sister did at an open mic. It wasn't bad. I guess if you're dumb and haven't figured out how to avoid hearing all these acts endlessly then maybe it can be annoying, but luckily I listen to and watch things I like usually. Also interesting to see mainstream stuff so heavily reminiscent of PFFR and Tim & Eric.
Lady Gaga is the WORST. And this video doesn't make it any better.
Lady Gaga music video posts now on CHUD. What the shit.
At least now I know I can disregard anything by Alex Riviello.
I don't know what the fuck that was, but I feel like making a call on a Virgin Mobile phone and telling someone how much I fucking love taking Polaroid pictures of Miracle Whip. And Beyonce's cleavage.
I waited for something that resembled an exploitation flick, but nothing doing.
Man she got ugly tiddies.
virgin mobile, check, polaroid, check, glorifying disgusting fashion, check, too much credit given to shit techno, check.. catchy tunes? are you that bored? forget metalhead card, your mancard is up for review.. lame ad driven crap..
That visual barrage still couldn't distract from just how terrible the actual song is. Is this the basic standard of her other other music? Jesus…no wonder she needs all the weird dresses and hats.
I'd have lobbied to have the metal card revoked solely for the fact that you didn't mention Jonas Ackerlund being in Bathory.
I'm not even going to lie, seeing Gaga on CHUD brought a humongous smile to my face. With Tarantino, too? Day made.
Did I see Amy Fisher in the prison?
Anyone can dress up like a fashion victim and make a video singing like a strangled cat. Does it show that i'm not a Lady Bla bla fan?
That was BAD-ASSED. I'm certainly not the biggest fan of Lady Gaga's music (it's okay, but I've heard better), but her visual style is so goddamned bonkers that it reminds me of a head-on carcrash between Barbarella and a Sid Meyer film.
Love the "Told you she didn't have a dick" gag, because every You Tube video of Lady Gaga has at least two 'She's really a man!" comment posted.
haters, haters, haters. i'm confused and i don't have the new issue of vice to guide me. is it hip to like lady gaga or bash her? it was a cool video, and if your blind hate for gaga prevents you from enjoying… that your loss. fuck it, i'll turn in my metal card too. considering i had a pretty metal sat. morning. me and some friends playing MW2, drinking beer, and listening to kreator.
