A lot of people say Metallica have saved their life; a smaller percentage of people can actually give the band some credit for their own survival. Back in 2019, frontman James Hetfield made a very nice phone call to a Vancouver woman who’d said she played Metallica’s “Don’t Tread On Me” on her phone to scare away a cougar that was following her on a regular dog walk. Now a Virginia family has extended thanks to Metallica for keeping them safe from a pickup truck that drove into their living room earlier this month.
