Heavy Metal Versions of Lady Gaga By Evile's Ol Drake

Guitarist Ol Drake of British thrashers EVILE has written and arranged a heavy version of the Lady Gaga's hit "The Edge Of Glory". The resulting track, which — according to Ol Drake — represents how "The Edge Of Glory" "might have sounded if IRON MAIDEN had written it with [the pop singer]" — can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. Ol added, "I'm a fan of MAIDEN and a fan of Gaga; this is an experiment and all in good fun. If you don't like it don't listen to it."

Ol Drake previously gave a similar makeover to Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way".
