Metallica brought years of pent-up excitement to Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium on Wednesday night, energizing the crowd with a live performance of the Virginia Tech Hokies’ iconic entrance song during a stop on their M72 World Tour.

There are many great entrances in college football, but few are as electric or as loud as Virginia Tech running out to Metallica's "Enter Sandman" for a big game (especially at night).

Over 60,000 fans gathered at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium for a night that created ground tremors. Metallica visited Blacksburg on Wednesday night for a stop on the M72 World Tour, taking the stage after openers Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies.
