    Gaga has always brought in opening acts that people really wouldn't expect a pop act to have. Usually it's just other up and coming pop artists that labels break deals with the bigger pop artists, she's had guys like these and an actual japanese digital singer, a really out there alternative DJ and stuff like that.

      The point that @arturo435 made has clearly gone straight over your head and has been lost on you.
      It's not about who was around first.
      It's the fact that Gaga doesn't restrict herself to only one genre of music or one type of support bands, etc.
      A great artist can appreciate ALL genres of music and all sorts of people in the industry (whether established or not).

      Along with hearing some of their music that I'd not known about in more recent years.
      He's a really funny and deep guy, and The Darkness are a seriously underrated band.

    Love that theirs 2 mainshows this week again, absolutely brilliant. Maybe a tiny bit more effort/structure is needed tho just feel with the confessions maybe a tiny bit of making the confessions readable in a way, like some were just not readable which is FUNNY but I feel the podcast ended and their wasn't exactly the funny debate of whether they should've been forgiven. Or at least have a confession where it was 50/50 on whether forgiveness should be given

      There's me seeing the thumbnail and having heard new (I think) The Darkness on the radio a couple of days ago, thinking then that this was a new upload (to promote the new material) until I realised on playing that it was the old studio set-up and an eleven month old upload the algorithm has swung my way (probably because I played a few of his vids/shorts from Rides Again recently).

      Perhaps because Gaga has finally learnt how to manage herself and her life in the spotlight, without having to stress over it 24/7.
      Much less stressful for certain artists/celebs to just keep to themselves in the world we live in nowadays, where every public appearance, every outfit, every little word, every little moment is CONSTANTLY scrutinised by the media, the press and the court of the web.
      By the way, she had already made it back in 2012. Which is the point being made by the others.

    But I really take exception to the idea of women standing in line to be photographed with their hands on him…I don’t know why, but I think it’s gross!
