You certainly saw the news that a brazilian woman named Joice gave birth during a Metallica concert in May (i was in the same gig btw 😭). U also might know that JAMES HETFIELD HIMSELF called her and they talked thru phonecall! - you can listen to it here. Last week, Joice received a package in her house and by the giftwrap you can absolutely tell who was the sender....
Metallica sent greeting card signed by the entire band 🥺💕 +
They also gave a bunch of metallica baby clothes 🥺🥺🥺
(ps: that scary guy onesie was designed by James)
Joice was in complete surprise because she didn't ordered any of this in their website and also didn't gave her address to NOBODY!
It has been almost two months since the baby was born and we can already say that baby Luan James has the best godfathers in the world, right?
Vanessa Mesquita, a Brazilian influencer and metalhead, met metallica after their last show in São Paulo and shared her experience on Instagram.
"Sensational, guys! Fuck. My eye was filled with tears. [...] The structure is surreal. Five big screens, pyrotechnics. [....]"
After someone asked how she managed to get the vip ticket, she replied saying she had a friend in common with the band, specially with Rob, and, knowing that she - even being a great fan - never went to a metallica concert, her friend gave her the vip ticket as some kind of birthday gift.
After the show they went to a restaurant and everyone was there!
subtitles: James shook my hand, holy shit! 😂
"Kirk and his girlfriend are vegan. She is a such sweetheart, very loveable and him too. [...] Everyone is very kind"
"Lars was there too, he was very nice. Everyone was very smiling, James... man, when he came to talk to me I stopped! He's very tall, very handsome. Wow, I was shocked. And very smiling, super smiling."
She took a picture with Rob and someone asked if she took a picture with James and she replied saying she was too shy to ask, but also said "I'm sure he would take a picture, he's very sweet. Super smiling! But has things that stay only in our memory and it's all right."
"I took it with Trujillo, because as he was taking a picture there, my friend already pushed me "Go! Take a picture with her"
Jason Newsted jamming at Andreas Kisser's wedding (1994)
It's known that Jason is a diehard Sepultura fan for decades, but did you know they are great friends and he played at Andreas (Sepultura's guitarrist) wedding? The singer from the brazilian metal band Ratos de Porão, João Gordo, shared this gem. We can see the groom was playing guitar and Newsted playing bass.
Thank you for believing in those rebellious dreamer boys. Thanks Jon (and Marsha) for being such important figure(s) in the Metallica History. As a fan, i deeply appreciate you and your endless love for Metallica and for everything you did for our boys since the early 80s.
You believed them
You helped them
You were a father figure
You are and always will be a huge part of their legacy.
May you and your wife Marsha rest together in peace. 🤍
