A swarm of little monsters has been attacking musician Patrick Carney of the Black Keys on Twitter for pointing out the similarities between the Judas singer and Madonna.

A plethora of juvenile threats and cuss-ridden phrases flooded the Twitter account of the drummer after he tweeted to singer Ke$ha, "I still can't get over Madonna's performance at the grammy's this year! She was born that way!" . Carney was obviously referring to the noticeable similarity of Lady Gaga's song to some of Madonna's hits, much to the fury of 'little monsters' worldwide. Carney is a member of the Grammy-winning band, The Black Keys, whose album Brothers won this year's Best Alternative Album and Best Recording Package.

Some of the threats were downright volatile and aggressive - some 'little monsters' even dared to harm the drummer. To answer the mob of angry fans, Carney re-tweeted the distasteful attacks on his account. Some tweets read "Go jump off a bridge you f-ck-d up piece of horse-sh-t. Nobody likes your retarded a-s. TAKE THE HINT" and "STFU you horse-looking old bat, it is impossible to be 100% original". Carney made another sly remark by responding "@ladygaga your anti bullying message isn't really translating to your little monsters. I'm really depressed" as an attack to Gaga's popular campaign.

The Black Keys musician is not the first one to point out the huge resemblance of Gaga's new songs to Madonna's hits. According to bloggers and critics, Judas and Born This Way have the 'same club-pace' feel to Madonna's Vogue, Express Yourself, and Ray of Light, and that Gaga's vocal range is somewhat leaning towards the original pop princess' pitch. Carney has posted a tweet apologizing to Lady Gaga fans, but the truth of how he feels remain in his sarcastic tone.

Lady Gaga is set to perform a one-night-only concert at the Sydney Concert Hall on July 13th.
