Fun fact. When the athletic director was deciding on an entrance, it was between this and Guns ‘n Roses Welcome to the Jungle but he went with this. The jumping started because a band member was cold so just started jumping up & down to keep the blood flowing and that’s all she wrote. Love my Hokies!!
Thank you. One thing that disappoints me about UVa fandom is that lack of fan support. I'm a VT grad, and I think the rivalry would be bigger, but I know too many Virginia alumni and fans that seem indifferent to the football team.
It probably reminded him of the Moscow show when he saw it. Crowds at American events just aren’t as electric as VT at a regular show anymore, because they’ve got their cellphones out, to document the show so they can enjoy it later. Nothing like being in the moment and living the crazy show tho. It’s a drug.
I watch the Virginia Tech fans go crazy to that. It looks like Moscow 1991 all over again. Especially when they play the videos that Metallica sent to pump them up even more.
I have been to many concerts. None of them compare to a non restricted Metallica concert. If your not in the family you better hurry before they are gone.
Hokie fan here we definitely paid Metallica the first time they ever got to play it through the lyrics was the 2019 ND game. If you notice no other team NFL or college dares to play more than 30 seconds of Metallica because they will sue.
UVA fans said their team sucks and swallow way more then VT.. Their entrance alone is comical. I've been waiting to see their mascots fall off the horse again 🤣🤣🤣
F you! You as a Hokie fan is what is embarrassing. I was there during the years of only beating UVA and Metallica could be proud if it played then because it is the heart & soul of We Are Virginia Tech that makes us!
Props to the engineers that designed the support structure of the stadium
Virginia tech is one of the better engendering schools in the country
Ha Ha!! Right?!
We are an engineering school, of course Lane is fine.
Dude that was my thought exactly.

This is a part of why I love College football, regardless of who you root for VT's entrance is masterful.
Welcome to the Jungle would have been kitschy. Overdone.
Protect james at all costs, all I have to say
Imagine if they play it live there
Just going to re-up this video and say again that, Metallica, you guys are welcome any time you want to show up on game day and do this live.
not a VT fan but if that where to happen i would become one that day!!!
Yes!!
I watch that video from the 2021 Virginia Tech game all the time! It makes me happy & pumps me up to watch the crowd & hear the song! Love it!! 🥰 🎼
Love the way that they’ve embraced the school.
Love Metallica, love Virginia Tech
i was there , it was epic , Thanks James!!!!
As a UVA person, one of the few things about Virginia Tech that makes me jealous.
Well done, Hokies.
Go Hoos!

James is being modest. It’s not like he did not sing in front of 1.6 million people 30 years ago.

AC/DC was the headliner. Insane.
Well said Mr. Hetfield. Forever a legend.
Would love to see Metallica there live some time!
Go Hokies. Next, need metallica to perform it live!
I second that
Never knew about the seismograph, just wow.
Enter sandmans the best part of the games lately
Surprised Lars ain't trying to sue them 😂
what a graceful gentleman
Wish the song was in EA sports college football 25 😢. I’m not a tech fan but I wanted to play with them to experience that entrance
He's so spiritual`s
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!

Awesome
Go Hokies!

I feel like this is what our Military is playing when they entered the doorstep of our enemy.
🤘🏻
Todays entitled folks would demand payment. So cool they let them have this!! Go Hokies! (Coming from a Duke Fan)

Special
did they paY>
Imagine if VT actually won?
In 2023 they went to a bowl game & won against higher ranked team. This next yr should be awesome
But I thought Tech fans were assholes? No?
We suck so bad playing the song now is embarrassing
Yep it really is ..didn't they start to suck as soon as they started this tradition?
UVA fans said their team sucks and swallow way more then VT.. Their entrance alone is comical. I've been waiting to see their mascots fall off the horse again 🤣🤣🤣
@@Sky_Blaze no we were decent when it started.
@@Sky_Blaze we were still playing good football years after the entrance started
