Oops just posted on another thread...my bad.

@AMB4VT

No worries. Saw that right after I created this thread. I figured this was interesting enough to merit its own topic rather than perhaps be overlooked in the comments. +1

"Exit light..."

Went ahead and removed it. Great minds!! :)

@AMB4VT

Is this going to happen before enter sandman? Or is it simply the montage that plays on the screen while Sandman is playing?

HokieVision called it the "Enter Sandman video" on Twitter. Take that for what you will. I doubt they'd have anything with narration on the video board just to be drowned out by other audio. My guess is it's something that leads into Sandman.

"Exit light..."

To repost what I said on another thread...

ESPN is going all out with the production of our intro on Monday. Like ALL OUT for this production. And considering they're also going to be here for GameDay an hour before the game, and we're now teasing a special intro....

I dunno, certainly seems like there might be something more to this event than we know... Dare I say, maybe something being played live?

Don't start rumors you can't support with #sauces.

The idea has been marinating among the fan base for a while.

"Exit light..."

yeah but since the rumors have been circulating, Whit has been good about addressing them and saying they are unfounded.

It has all the dressings of a let down.

Why would you be let down?
It's a new video...

No, I'm talking about people building up this Metallica idea.

Whatever they do, I'd like the reaction to be "Hey, THAT's really cool!" than "Oh, well, not as good as something else..."

Less build up, more surprise by the result.

For what it's worth, Whit was at the Charlotte alumni picnic a few weeks ago and said Metallica would not be in Blacksburg so not to get your hopes up. Could be just trying to surprise everyone, but he instantly dispelled that one.

And the VT Equipment twitter account was posting pics of orange pants earlier in the week

I'd rather be surprised in a good way, than have a great entrance that somehow gets perceived as a let-down.

I suspect a vast majority of Lane would need to change their pants should it actually happen.

It would be very cool, indeed.

Note to self: Bring a spare pair of pants for Monday Night. Got it.

GIVE IT TO ME ROSCOE!

Well the ESPN going all out part was discussed on XM Radio the other day... I'm just starting to put pieces together

Maybe a live remote???????

Going off what I said in the other thread, I wouldn't be surprised if we got some footage of them playing on their current tour. Probably a huge lift to sync up with them live, but recorded is probably a viable option. They're not going to be in the Burg, but I suspect they might show up in a different way.

"Exit light..."

please be holographic stream of a live performance wherever they are in Europe. I mean we are a freaking technology university. if cochella can get tupac we should be able to swing this.

If I'm going to be surprised, I'd like it to be in the positive direction.

if they can't physically be in Lane you don't think a live holographic projection of them would be badass?

Anything live would be great.

I just wouldn't want to build it up and that NOT happen.

live? sure, but I heard Metallica wasn't available so they had to find a replacement:

Well played, just finished season 6 on Yahoo!

Ah I see they instead brought in Metal-Licka

STILL WAITING ON METALLICA TO PLAY LIVE

I went to my first Virginia Tech bowl game while I was in the womb.

Whatever happens, we're going to need somebody to record the ESPN intro and upload it so that us people at the game can watch.

GIVE IT TO ME ROSCOE!
