Inside Gaga's 'Delicious' Tour

Lady Gaga talks new album The Fame Monster and The Monster Ball concerts

Share

(Newser) – Lady Gaga's upcoming tour is more than just a series of concerts—it's a pop-electro opera, "a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you've ever been to," she tells Rolling Stone. The Monster Ball launches Nov. 27, four days after the release of The Fame Monster, an album she says is "much more personal" than her last.

"Each one of these songs on my album represents a different demon that I've faced in myself," she says. And, contrary to the name, "I don't write about fame or money at all on this new record." Those demons—or monsters—are "certainly going to be an influence" on the show's fashion, "as well as the theme of evolution and change," she says. "I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show."

Regardless of your musical taste, it's good to see that in this era of iTunes and YouTube, the spectacle of the elaborately staged, highly conceptual, and mega-budget live rock show is far from dead but in fact thriving. You go, girl! Reply

Yeah, not a huge fan of her music but the self-aware futuristic over the topness of what she does is pretty cool. Reply
