Metallica’s James Hetfield Shows How To Make A Memorable Connection with a Fan [VIDEO]
Music marketer Michael Branvold shares: "In the video below Metallica’s James Hetfield is walking backstage, passes a small group of fans, stops grabs his guitar and walks over to one of the fans and gives it to him. Pay attention to the facial expression of the fan. I can watch this over and over, it is priceless."
"Have you ever done something as unexpected, as selfless, as nice as this for one of you fans? It reminds me of the classic Mean Joe Greene Coke commercial.
That fan will forever in be in Metallica’s corner, he will support them forever. Do something nice, something unexpected to make a connection with your fans."
Hey, I appreciate this article’s message, but it’s clear from the title and the video itself: these are not regular fans and he did not meet them by accident, neither was this a spur-of-the-moment decision, he had the guitar prepared as he was walking toward them. In fact, they are a band, famous for “being the first heavy metal group to emerge from Iraq” according to Wikipedia. Please do your homework next time and still, thanks a lot for the useful advice.
Here’s the Wiki article on the band and it also mentions the Metallica event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrassicauda
