METALLICA Fans Like To Eat Lots Of Donuts

October 23, 2004

Helen Kinsella of Independent.co.uk reports that METALLICA fans were being blamed for Tim Horton's — the decades-old Canadian coffee chain — running out of donuts in Quebec City last week. "Why?" Kinsella asked in dismay when she saw the empty trays at 2am, bereft of the usual double-chocolate, sour-cream-and-honey, and the multitude of other flavours they stock. "The METALLICA concert" was the reply.

While the thought of heavy-metal fans rushing the donut counter is strange, what's more remarkable is the city's love affair with METALLICA, who sold out two nights in its largest stadium, the Colisee, Kinsella reports. In return for the fans' devotion, METALLICA frontman James Hetfield cried "We own Quebec City!" Friends pointed out that the city has always been known for its love of hard rock — hence its nickname, "La Capitale du Métal".
