METALLICA Comes To Christchurch Campaigner's Rescue

July 26, 2010

According to Stuff.co.nz, the Blenheim, New Zealand man whose petition helped bring rock legends METALLICA to Christchurch received a phone call from the band's management on on Saturday, telling him he could have two free tickets to one of the Christchurch shows next month.

Woods' jaw dropped when the woman told him the band also wanted to meet him.

"I didn't cry this time, I froze."

He thought the woman was a prank caller.

"I said to her, 'That's not nice, you cannot do that to someone. That's bloody cruel'."

However, he soon realized she was not joking.
