James Hetfield lead singer for Metallica soaking up the moment of Enter Sandman in Lane Stadium! 🦃🔥🤯 pic.twitter.com/OHLaTlbeLS— Nathan Gray (@nathangray_1) May 8, 2025
For anyone worried that Metallica isn't well aware of what Enter Sandman means to VT, worry no more. The guy looked like he was just out there having fun.
Would love to be able to bring them in town just to take in a game and experience the moment.
At the same time, in an era where everyone seems to be trying to cozy up to big names, I'd love to try and work out some kind of official partnership between VT Athletics and Metallica to come up with something that can be mutually beneficial to both of us to try and raise up VT's brand, especially now that the two are essentially linked already in college sports.

Legendary capture by this dude. He was in the right place at the right time and he delivered.

You'll never find a crowd that size ANYWHERE that loves that song more than one at Lane Stadium.
It's in our DNA.
So did they come on stage to a recording of Sandman, and then close with Sandman?
Yes.
Played the opening riff at first.
I mean how else would one enter lane stadium?
This was from before they took the stage to start their set and it was epic. When they played it live for the finale is when shit got REAL
