As one of the largest bands in the world for over 30 years, KISS are certainly no strangers to the kind of fame that Lady Gaga currently enjoys. With that and their outlandish fashion sense in common, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the rockers and the diva hit it off immediately.
Gaga posted two pictures on her Twitter account, one showing her with guitarist Paul Stanley and another of her and the entire band. The pictures were taken backstage after the band's Friday gig at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J., which Gaga attended with her boyfriend, Luc Carl.
On Saturday, Gaga performed in Tacoma, Wash., and spoke of how inspired she was to meet Stanley and company. "You meet so many people [in Hollywood] who are so ungrateful for what they have," she said, according to PopEater. "But KISS, these guys have been making music for decades and they were ... beyond nice and beyond down to earth, full makeup and everything. They hung out with me and my friends for 30 minutes just shooting the shit backstage like they don't have anything better to do ... That's gonna be me in 30 years."
Naturally, fans everywhere started speculating about a collaboration between KISS and Gaga, but it seems that's just wishful thinking. In the meantime, Gaga devotees will have to settle for videos of her rocking out at the Friday show and speaking about it on Saturday. Check them both out below (thanks to ONTD).
