85-Year-Old METALLICA Fan To Attend Tampa Concert With Her Son
- Sep. 30, 2009
|
|
St. Petersburg Times reports that Margaret Priebe is 85 years old and a huge METALLICA fan. She's going to the band's October 3 show at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida with her son, Jim Priebe. While Margaret was fighting cancer — and getting chemo — she'd stay up late and listen to METALLICA on her MP3 player, especially the band's live recording with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. She says the heavy metal band got her through the tough times. "I always liked rock music," Priebe said. "I love drums, and I like the way they play." "I like METALLICA — there's nothing wrong with them," Margaret added. "People think I'm weird. But I'm sorry, I like it loud." Read the entire report from St. Petersburg Times.

I saw what had to have been a 60 or 70 year old guy at the Lamb of God show in Kansas City 5 months ago... wearing a Goatwhore shirt. It was the funniest and also the most awesome thing I've seen this year.

This is why I love FLorida and bought a house there. The damn weather is so nice that people do things out of sheer boredom at looking at all the nice days. Good for her, rock on, this is cool as hell!

Pretty damn cool. And not because 'shes old' (because when we are all old we'll like metal, too) but because her generation is about as anti-metal (hell, even anti-rock n roll) as you can get. And to the first poster or so...dont be surprised that a 63 year old would be into AC/DC. As she would have been in her mid 20s when metal came into existence. So shes of the 'early metal generation'. As not everyone who was into metal, back then, were teenagers. But still its pretty cool shes into metal, too.
My late grandma liked Ozzy...but only his reality show, haha.
