Lady GaGa and The Monster Ball Tour Details

Lady GaGa has shared juicy details with Rolling Stone about her upcoming tour, The Monster Ball.

The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, had her joint tour with Kanye West cancelled two weeks ago. That hasn’t stopped the ambitious star from planning a new tour, which will be a multimedia artistic experience.

What I understood from multimedia artistic experience, is a lot of big words that are a nicer way of saying the tour will be douche-bag free. No one will be running up on stage during performances saying they’ll let her finish, as soon as the world knows that such-and-such is the better performer.

Actually, who am I kidding, the tour would have been all the better with Kanye West’s douchery. Watching douches bounce around, and drown in their own egos on stage, is worth an over-priced ticket. I’d rather that, than actually just listening to music. I can do that in my damn bedroom.

Lady GaGa to Rolling Stone on the songs on The Fame Monster: This is a new album. It has eight songs, I could have put more songs on it, but I just decided not to because I thought they fit beautifully together. I’m really excited about all my new work, and I’ve been going through some really wonderful times and some really rough times all at once, so it’s been really good for my artistry.
Lady GaGa to Rolling Stone on the thinking behind The Monster Ball: I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see. So we’re playing a few nights in a row. I’ve got super loyal fans, so I feel this tremendous obligation to take care of them.
Lady GaGa to Rolling Stone on finally having the resources to stage her dream tour: No, I couldn’t [do a tour to this extent before], but there was one major ingredient that was missing, and that’s my fans. Now, I have the inspiration of my fans, and I know what they want. I think there’s a lot of artists that are very self-serving, but I’m not one of them. When I create and make music, I make music that my fans want to hear.
Lady GaGa to Rolling Stone on elements of the Fame Kills Tour with Kanye West that were going to be in The Monster Ball: I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together.
Lady GaGa to Rolling Stone on planning the shows fashion: The fashion, certainly, is going to be another exploration and another level from where we were with the Fame Ball. The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence, as well as the theme of evolution and change. It’s going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you’ve ever been to.
