Evile Guitarist Releases Metal Version Of Gaga Song

Back when Lady Gaga was still kind of doable

Seriously, metal dudes need to stop kissing Lady Gaga’s ass.

For real. Zakk Wylde’s praised Lady Gaga. Saxon’s Biff Byford sucked her proverbial wang. Tommy Lee said he wants to work with Gaga. Even Bruce Dickinson has had nice things to say about the pop songstress.

Now, Lady Gaga’s getting cred from a more underground source. We’ve gone from old-dudes-we-respected-20-years-ago fawning over Gaga to dude-we-currently-think-is-awesome releasing a metal version of her new song: Evile guitarist Ol Drake has infused metal into “Born This Way,“ which is a total Madonna ripoff anyways. After the jump, hear it and weep.

Evile will release their new album Five Serpent’s Teeth in September.
