Ha! Same thing happened to me, although I would recommend listening to the
Adagio cover of the song. Being a fan of the band I was surprised when I listened through their most recent album, and then I was like...wait, I recognize this song...this is
Fame! If you want to hear what this song sounds like done by a progressive power metal band, with a mix of clean/extreme vocals, it should at least put a smile on your face.
Staying on topic though, IMO, the worst thing about fame would be that everyone had an opinion about you. I know, I know...the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about. However, people can misrepresent, misinterpret, or otherwise spin your actions/beliefs/whatever into anything they want, just to sell their own words. The helplessness felt at not being able to respond, or stand up for yourself, would be unbearable (at least from my perspective).
Still, as someone famous, I guess you might get used to it...especially when you can no longer recognize the Chimera that has been assembled by those stumbling along in your footsteps (again, from my own unrelated experiences).
I mean, how many people have met these stars in real life? Yet, still the public will either love them or hate them, and will (arguably) waste their time debating what was
meant by their latest offering of words/art/whatever. Bah. The anonymity offered by the internet only feeds this demonization/angelification of individuals. The truth, however, is always somewhere in between. In real life, it's not a question as to the "degree of sainthood" you possess, luckily.
