Anthrax Want To 'Make Beautiful Music' With Lady Gaga

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says that his band would "love" to follow in Metallica's footsteps and collaborate with pop star Lady Gaga, and says the idea occurred to them before Metallica's performance with her at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.

Ian told Duke TV (via Blabbermouth), "Yes, we would love to work with Lady Gaga. I think we put that out there a while ago. And then when we found out she was doing the Grammys with Metallica, I was, like, 'Wow! It makes sense. They're gonna be on a big TV show and do it together.' And I actually thought she was great on it.

"I've said since the beginning, since the first time I ever heard her voice, I always thought, 'Wow, I would really love to hear her sing on a rock record, metal record, whatever. And then our drummer, Charlie, ended up meeting her at a show and they became friends. And she knows all about Anthrax and Metallica and all these bands� whoever - name the band. She's a metalhead. So that made it even cooler. The fact that, all right, she knows that world, she understands that world, and she can sing the sh*t out of this kind of music."

He then made the following public pitch to the pop star, "I don't know what their plans are - if Metallica has more plans with Lady Gaga or if she has plans with Metallica - but we would certainly love to write a song together, or a whole album. Let us be your backing band. Let us be your backing band, Lady Gaga. We could make beautiful music together."
