Before she was singing about telephones and the dangers of the paparazzi to international acclaim, she was just Stefani Germanotta — a girl who liked to swing on poles.
A motormouth who knew Gaga back in her days as an exotic dancer claims the future Grammy winner was known on the NYC club scene as a shy, quiet girl who was more into heavy metal than the dance anthems that have become her calling card.

“She was really into her metal music and she always wore her black leather jacket – back in those days I always thought of her as a quiet metal girl, she never really had much of a personality, I had no idea she would transform into this outrageous dance music mega-star,” says the tattle. “I last saw her towards the end of 2008 at St. Jerome’s, her debut album had dropped and was becoming huge and she looked totally different, she had the blonde hair and was dressed totally differently to how she used to dress, she had become Lady Gaga and left quiet, shy Stefani behind.”
