I never get too personal on here, but whatever. Today I am. Some things are bigger than music. They become part of who you are. đ¤đ˝đ¤
Metallicaâs music has been part of my life for decades now, so getting the chance to hold and play James Hetfieldâs actual Iron Cross guitar at the Black Box in Las Vegas, just before seeing Metallica at the Sphere, was something I canât fully put into words.
Holding a piece of the bandâs history was surreal. It was more than just a guitar, it was a moment that brought me closer to the music and a band that has meant so much to me over the years.
A memory Iâll carry with me forever. I even allowed myself to be photographed. A rarity.
Thank you, Metallica, for the music, the memories, and an experience Iâll never forget.
