The boys of Def Leppard will surely be stoked to hear the news that Lady Gaga is one of their biggest fans. The “Born This Way” pop ster recently told the U.K.’s Sun that much of her muziek is influenced door the British ‘80s rock group.
Gaga got addicted to Def Leppard tunes thanks to her dad, Joe, who used to play their vinyl to the entire family in New Jersey when she was a little tyke. “With my music, there’s lots of really big Def Leppard-style melodies in the choruses, but it’s electronic dance music,” Gaga said. “I’d call it avant-garde techno rock. It is very hard and very edgy. There are a lot of rock influences on the album but not that it is rock music.”
Gaga added that she strives to create a new genre with her pop music– one that brings together the heavy metal of bands such as Leppard with a dance-oriented vision. “It is an exploration of electronic muziek and techno songs but I have created a genre of metal/dance/techno/rock/pop muziek with a lot of anthemic choruses, because that is actually the muziek I love,” she said.
Gaga is so enthralled with Leppard that she even recruited the group’s longtime producer Mutt Lance to help tweak the sounds of her track, “You and I.”
Previously, Gaga had revealed that she’s also fond classic rockers Alice Cooper, Elton John, Tony Bennett and Bruce Springsteen, so the Def Leppard assertion isn’t entirely a surprise

Lady Gaga refuses to watch her populair “Telephone” video because she “hates it so much”.
She told Britain’s Time Out magazine, "I can’t even watch the Telephone video, I hate it so much… Beyonce and I are great together. But there are so many f****** ideas in that video and all I see in that video is my brain throbbing with ideas and I wish I had edited myself a little bit more. It’s funny because I know a lot of kids… didn’t like the “Alejandro” video, but that was my favoriete of all my videos."
Though she doesn't like it, the clip became an internet hit on its release and went on to land a prize for best collaboration at the 2010 MTV Video muziek Awards, but Gaga insists she is not happy with the footage.
Gag zei her favoriete video is “Alejandro”. What do u think of it? What's your favorite?
