As the music starts, Storm’s ears perk up, and she begins to headbang in sync with the beat. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s hard not to smile while watching her rock out to the classic tune.
Storm’s love for Metallica doesn’t stop at “Enter Sandman.” According to Walton, her furry friend is a fan of the band’s entire discography. In an interview with ABC7, Walton shared that Storm has been listening to Metallica since she was a puppy and that the band’s music seems to have a calming effect on her.
You might have heard we had a four-legged fan join us for #M72LA! Despite reports to the contrary, our friend Storm snuck out of her home adjacent to @SoFiStadium and made her way to the gig all by herself.

Walton also mentioned that Storm’s love for music extends beyond Metallica. The German Shepherd enjoys listening to a variety of genres, including classic rock, alternative, and even some country tunes. However, it’s clear that Metallica holds a special place in her heart.
The internet’s reaction to Storm’s headbanging video has been overwhelmingly positive. Many viewers have commented on how adorable and entertaining Storm is, while others have shared stories of their own pets enjoying music. Some have even suggested that Storm should be the band’s new mascot.
This isn’t the first time a pet has gained fame for their love of music. In the past, videos of animals dancing or reacting to songs have gone viral, capturing the hearts of millions. Storm’s video is just another example of how music can bring joy to both humans and animals alike.
As for Storm, her newfound fame doesn’t seem to have gone to her head. She continues to enjoy her favorite tunes with her loving owner, bringing smiles to those who watch her videos. And who knows? Maybe one day, Storm will get the chance to meet her idols in person and rock out with Metallica themselves.
