When Was Poker Face Released
Lady Gaga told Fashionista101 that this tune is about the singer playing with guys as if she was a poker player. She explained: 'The song speaks in reference to the poker game, 'Texas Hold Em.' So I said, 'I wanna hold him like they do in Texas, please.' Give a listen to the first full-length album of thrash newcomers PokerFace “Divide And Rule” and tell me what it is. In my modest opinion, it is great raw speedy thrash with some death metal influences (oh, this beauty and beast, two in one, Delirium, pure death metal goddess) which makes metalheads headbang and critics nod: ja, ja, sehr gut!
