'METALLICA Couple' Announce Birth Of Son ORION - Dec. 27, 2012

The couple that became an Internet sensation after a video surfaced of them performing a cover version of METALLICA's "Master Of Puppets" at their wedding reception, have announced the birth of their new baby boy, Dax Orion Diaz.

A maternity video featuring Annette Ortiz-Diaz (a former drummer for FATAL POSPOROS and HALF PAST-TWO and the current bass player for RANDOM NINJAS) and her husband Dennis — who had a METALLICA tribute band (made up of Asians) called TRAPPED UNDER RICE — playing the METALLICA classic "Orion" can be seen below.

Annette and Dennis got a chance to play with the members of METALLICA themselves on December 10, 2011 at the fourth and final intimate show at the Fillmore in San Francisco as part of the week-long celebration of the band's 30th anniversary for fan club members only. They joined METALLICA on stage to perform the song "Blackened" during the portion of the concert where fan-club winners were invited on stage to jam with the band.

Annette Ortiz and Dennis Diaz were married on April 10, 2010 in El Segundo, California. Photos of the reception can be found at this location.

Would have been even more crazy if his first name was Orion instead of a middle name but it's cool anyways!

Are they also Acid Bath/Dax Riggs fans? Can't say I've heard the name Dax aside from him.

Pretty cool story all around, we should all be so lucky to hook up with a metal loving spouse :)

She was hitting the double bass on Blackened. And she was pregnant. Never thought I'd see the day Lars gets out drummed by a pregnant Asian lady

The Queensryche couple commented:

Our baby Geoff is the vest gift we could ever hope for. We'll invest every vestige of time we have in his future, so that he can have the vestiture he deserves when he grows up. We hear the Metallicouple have also had a child, we want to give the positivest congratulations we can on their new arrival. I'm sure their little boy will be the bravest boy around. Our favourite Metallica song is Harvester of Sorrow!!

Vest wishes,
The Coupleryche.

Such a cool story and they seem like a great couple. Dennis is a lucky man. A wife that not only likes the metal, she plays it and if that is not enough she's also hot. Cheers!

Their favorite director: Steven Spielberg. Author? Stephen King. Ice cream? Chocolate or vanilla. Holiday? Christmas. Weekend activities? Nights at home with a movie. Congrats on the baby.

Trujillo's son's middle name is Orion.
This couple are fucking awesome - wishing them an awesome future and hopefully a life without playing Metallica covers:)

Better Orion than Douchestaine or Megadave.

Oh great. If there were two Lady Gaga fans and they named their kid Dax Poker Face Diaz, everyone on here would be mad as hell.

Forcing your kids to do something is awful; unless you're forcing him to like rock/metal or geeky stuff. Woohoo!

...at the 30th anniversary gigs. These two kids were some of the nicest people I've ever met. They deserve everything good that comes their way. Congrats to them!
