One musician writes shit songs, wears meat, and doesn’t use an instrument in their music. The other was the leader of the greatest rock band ever, revolutionized an insrument, while mastering music in general.
DJ

Actually, Gaga is an accomplished pianist.
DJ

Just because they aren’t old, doesn’t mean they aren’t talented. Probably the ‘only’ talented pop singer of the last 20 years. Check out Lady Gaga performing a piano version of Paparazzi on Capital FM.
Tommy Boy

Oh fuck no….I’m not even gonna listen to this crap. Just because it has the VH name on it doesn’t mean it needs to be posted. Real stuff please…

Gaga-blech…that may have been the scariest thing I’ve ever seen….
Nick

Why????? Why do people spend time making those? Those are just bad.
Adrian

Fuckin badass. And sorry John Stepensky but you can’t knock Gaga she has made a fortune and image in not so different ways as our very own Diamond Dave…
Adam

To all the people who are about to type, “Lady Gaga sucks!! Why is this shit on the VHND??”

…please spare us.

This is the Van Halen Newsdesk. People that come here love Halen, and chances are they don’t like Lady Gaga. WE GET IT. We ALL think Van Halen is way better than Lady Gaga, okay?

Now, pull you close-minded head out of your ass and LISTEN to this mashup. I say it KICKS ASS!

This is brilliant! Even after being watered down by Lady gaga, “Ain’t Talkin’” Still rocks!!!

Seriously, I think Johnny Dex did a great job on this. Very different, and very cool.

I, too, am all for VHND showcasing the cream of the crop from all the Van Halen mashups on youtube. Most VH mashups are terrible, but I’ve noticed that the VHND has managed to feature pretty much all of the better ones. Please keep them coming, but only the good ones! Thanks.

Yeah, I could do without this mash up nonsense. Give me some real news about VH, Chickenfoot or one of the guys individually. No more of this stuff, please.
Tommy Boy

Adam…I’ve already typed my comment above. My head isn’t up my ass and I will not listen to this garbage and would hope someone, somewhere shows some discretion and doesn’t post this kinda putrescent junk again. But I’m sure they will. Just as some idiot is gonna make another “mashup”. Ridiculous. And you could spare us as well..it does NOT kick any ass.
Tommy Boy

And Lady Gaga isn’t that bad. I actually respect her a great deal. But shit is still shit, and this is pure dookie.
JACK N SAM

This was cool, except for the parts where the weird chick interrupted…
F. Quiz, PhD

She actually looks better in the chaps than Diamond Dave!!
Keith

Dave would soo make her earn it !!!

I personally think that Lady Gaga is cool. I never thought about it but she is kinda the woman version of David Lee Roth (wild and unpredictable). “Ain’t Talkin About Love” is such a kick ass song!!! and it’s always so cool to see them from back in the day.

I give it a thumbs up.
jaxbistro

God I hated that.
jano2412

She’s a whore!
Rocko

Why do we need this Lady Blah Blah Crap in here, this bullcrap artist has absolutely nothing to do with Real Rock and Roll of the Mighty Van Halen.
Madison

No way Lady Gaga looks better then Dave in anything!!!!
Jeremy Romain

Lady Gaga doesnt even write her own music she buys it plus she uses autotune up the ass!
phillster

Just goes to prove…
There`ain`t Nothing a little
VanHalen can`t fix..lol
There`s a little VanHalen in EVERYBODY!!!!
Coyoteface

What an honour for Van Halen to have their music performed by one of the greatest artists of all time and inspiration to mankind, Lady Gaga.

I wish I was Justin Bieper so I could meet her one day
Coyoteface

But seriously, people do know that you can combine all kinds of songs and clips to come up with similar or even more spectacular results? I bet that you can show Edward van Halen play Eruption while listening to Chopin music and a voicetrack of MC’s Hammer. I just don’t understand why people want to waste their time on stuff like that.

JFC…..I hope I’m dreaming, is this real??????

What a crap!! Lady GaGa….I say GoGo…..

Klaas.

Cool video! Love Van Halen, but i have to say Lady Gaga (and her producers!) make some good music.
Karl

Fucking awful!

This is very well done! It makes Lady Gaga bearable! Haha!
John Stepensky

Yes Gaga is a pianist, but she never uses it in her music. She is over produced and crazy, Diamond Dave never wore meat
Todd

Cool and very imaginative. Lady Gaga isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but her talent is undeniable!
derek

that was fucking stupid.
Steve K

Another load of crap being played just to appease us VH fans.Hopefully when VH comes out with new music this year.We won’t have to see these bullcrap mash up videos for decades.Lady Ga Ga is a complete rip off of Madonna.
Rick Pride

So Gay!!!! For those that love Gaga I’m sure there’s a site for you. Maybe chicks with dicks. I love Hard Rock, not hard cock!!!
Dave

Please take this down as soon as possible !!!
BA

You know, I never liked seeing Dave’s ass in those assless chaps he wore. But I’d rather look at his bare ass than that damned nasty Gaga kook any day!
DJ

GAY! jk….I don’t like this mashup either, but Gaga is better than justin beiber or any of that crap. At least she can sing and has musical talent. There are good bands out there today, Weezer, Foo Fighters, etc….

At least it’s Van Halen related. It gets old having to share this site with Chickenlittle.

If we are going to have to share this site they should just change the name to Van Halen/Chickenlittle News Desk.

It’s like going on to a Steelers chat line and talking about how good the Packers are.
Tommy Boy

I can see you don’t know which way to turn…but the sun still shines.
Mr. Bad Ass Steve

F’ing SHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
SEAN

Fantastic editing, both audio and video. Bravo! This rocks!
Mitch

this gets addicting if you listen to it…..plus her ass and legs are nice so it’s worth watching
David Lee Gaga

Well Done!
This is not easy to do…kinda’ like mixing Pink Floyd with The Wizard of Oz. You are very clever. Whether you like Lady G or not, you have to appreciate the talent.
CV

VERY NICE ANYONE ELSE NOTICE HOW SOME OF THE LYRIC LINES COMPLIMENTED OUR BELOVED VH SONG BESIDES ME? LADY G IS NOT MY TYPE OF MUSIC BUT THIS OK AND SHES HOT.
blue eyed murder

i like it. i’ve listened to it several times now. i’m diggin it! i don’t understand the people here that hate it.
ringostore

I like some of the mash ups, especially the other VH one with Lennon. However this one doesn’t quite click. I was wishing it would because the GaGa song is actually not bad. The mash doesn’t really blend well together, some places yes, but it gets messy in other places.
Big Blue

Dave’s assless chaps always make me laugh. Seriously who else in rock or pop or entertainment could pull that off???
dirtywaterdog

Please stop doing this….
Dooley

This should be a felony.
Lee

That’s just stupid.
MICAL VEE

She is hot!!!
