Lady Gaga recalls ‘headbanging’ in AC/DC’s music video pre-fame

Lady Gaga has recalled being an extra in AC/DC’s ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ music video when she was a teenager.

The 38-year-old pop megastar was surprised when DJ Zane Lowe got the legendary rock group’s frontman Brian Johnson, 77, to join her in the car for Apple TV’s ‘A Carpool Karaoke Christmas’, which premiered on Sunday (15.12.24), and she shared the tale of her being told not to “headbang” in the promo for their 2000 track pre-fame.

She remembered: “I was in [the] ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ video.

“I was 17 and I was an extra in the back and I was headbanging.

“And they were like, ‘Don’t headbang. We want it to be modern.’ And I was like, ‘No, I can’t. Like, there’s only one move that I can do.’”

Metal and rock lover Gaga also belted out Led Zeppelin’s ‘Black Dog’ and shared the “crazy” story of how she came to duet with Bruno Mars, 39, on their hit song ‘Die With A Smile’.

She said: “I went to see him at like 10 o’clock at night. He played me the idea and then we wrote the second verse, then we cut it at two in the morning. Bruno had me singing for four hours. He had an exact way that he wanted to hear it, and I wanted to give him that.”

Gaga filmed her ‘Carpool Karaoke Christmas’ appearance in Los Angeles.

Chappell Roan, 26, jumped in the car with Zane in her hometown of Missouri, and Dua Lipa, 29, also took part in the festive episode and performed Christmas classics alongside her own hits when she was on tour in Japan.

‘Carpool Karaoke’ originated as a segment on ‘The Late Late Show with James Corden’ in 2015, with Mariah Carey being the first artist to take part.

James, 46, was joined by his close pal, Adele, for the last-ever instalment in 2023, after quitting his US show to return to his native UK.

Other huge names to take part over the years included Harry Styles, Sir Paul McCartney, Madonna, Celine Dion, and Ed Sheeran.
