Aside from the fact that she’s a global juggernaut, Lady Gaga seems to have two groups of devout fans: women and the gays. But after reading a post on her Twitter over the weekend, metal peeps might need to show her some respect too. Anyone that likes metal or eats meat in the midwest knows about Kuma’s Corner, the Chicago burger joint that features creations named after heavy bands. Apparently, she stopped by the institution over the weekend to have a Judas Priest burger (bacon, bleu cheese dressing with apples, walnuts, and dried cranberries) and tweeted about it. Normally, we’d just give her some props for being a diva that likes a burger and beer in an age of vegetarians, but then we got around to reading her tweet:

Just spent the morning at kuma’s, judas priest burger and cheap beer, denim +leather, brought us all together.

So wait, Lady Gaga is QUOTING SAXON! Our respect for her just went up significantly. We kinda had her pegged as the type of person that would say she liked metal, and then rattle off Motley Crue and Def Leppard as bands she liked. But Saxon? Wow, just wow.
