Metallica Warn Against Bringing Pets to Show After Dog Incident

On Thursday (Aug. 31), Metallica comically shared a heartwarming story of a pet dog who apparently attended one of their recent Los Angeles concerts at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. And they included a picture of the metal-loving pup.

But, as a rule, the metal band that is now covering North America on their "M72 World Tour" warned against bringing pets to Metallica gigs.

See the post near the bottom of this page.

Metallica said, "You might have heard we had a four-legged fan join us for #M72LA!"

They explained, "Despite reports to the contrary, our friend Storm snuck out of her home adjacent to SoFi Stadium and made her way to the gig all by herself."

A Dog Went to a Metallica Show

Storm evidently stayed for the duration of the Metallica concert. "After a full night taking in the show with her #MetallicaFamily," the band added, "Storm was safely reunited with her actual family the next day. She had a great time listening to her favorite songs, including 'Barx Æterna,' 'Master of Puppies' and 'The Mailman That Never Comes.'"

The group concluded, "And in case you were wondering, no. You definitely shouldn't bring your furry friends to the #M72 World Tour. But this dog sure did have her day…"

Indeed, it certainly seems that Storm had a good time at the gig. But would you ever try to take your dog to a Metallica concert?
