Metallica Joins Taylor Swift and Travis Scott by Moving the Earth

Metallica Joins Taylor Swift and Travis Scott by Moving the Earth

Metallica rocked Virginia so hard Wednesday (5/7) it was noticeable on the richter scale.

After playing 15 songs at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, the quartet grooved into the familiar “Enter Sandman,” the 60,000 bounced up and down in unison.

Lane Stadium, if you aren’t familiar with Atlantic Coast Conference football, is home of the Virginia Tech Hokies, who have given us a slew of NFL stars like quarterback Michael Vick; running back Kevin Jones; wide receivers Antonio Freeman and André Davis; defensive end Bruce Smith; and cornerbacks DeAngelo Hall and Kyle Fuller.

When the Hokies storm out of the locker room at the beginning of the game and onto the field flanked by the marching band, “Enter Sandman” is blasting throughout Lane Stadium where both the kids and the alumni are bouncing to the beat and losing their minds.
