Metallica Fans Hit With Lifetime Bans After Perth Stadium Stunt

Two metalheads have been barred for life from Perth's Optus Stadium after scaling the central speaker tower during Metallica's recent concert. The daring stunt, which saw 20-year-old Beau William Loch Rollings and 23-year-old Rory Hugh Culbert climb to dizzying heights of 10-50 meters, left thousands of fans watching in horror as security services swooped in.

The pair's reckless behavior has earned them a stern warning from the court, with Magistrate Ruth Dineen condemning their actions as "incredibly stupid." She noted that while the stunt may have seemed amusing at first, it quickly escalated into a serious safety concern.

Rollings and Culbert pleaded guilty to trespassing charges, with both receiving hefty fines of $1,000 each, along with significant court costs.

The incident has raised questions about the risks and consequences of taking such extreme stunts during concerts. However, fans are just as thrilled by Metallica's surprise cover of local hit "Zebra" by John Butler Trio during their Australian tour.

Butler himself joined in on the fun after Metallica covered his song last weekend in Perth/Boorloo, showcasing a custom-made Indian slide guitar called Chaturangui.
 
omg u gotta feel for those metalheads lol they were literally just trying to get a sick view of the concert and it ended up being super reckless like what was goin thru their minds?? anyway i guess its good that they got caught and are payin the price but still, its crazy that they could've hurt themselves or others 🤯😅
 
idk how I feel about this metalheads' stunt 🤷‍♂️... part of me thinks it's just a crazy thrill-seeker thing and they'll be back to normal life after serving their time. but at the same time, there are so many fans who were literally shaken by what happened at the concert last week 😱. I mean, can you imagine being up that high in a crowded stadium? not cool.

on a lighter note though, i'm loving the fact that John Butler Trio is killing it with his cover of "Zebra" 🎸... and Metallica's got some serious chops to be able to nail that song 🤘. and props to them for making the most of their Australian tour!
 
idk why ppl gotta scale stadiums 🤯 like wot's gonna happen if they just chill and enjoy the show? its all good n fun, but these 2 dudes took it 2 far... 10-50 meters is wild, cant even imagine how scary it must've been for fans watchin from below 🚨. but at least the metallica concert went on as planned & fans got 2 rock out to some sick songs 💥 - but still gotta respect the laws n rules, cant just do whatevs cuz its Metallica 👍
 
I'm not sure what's more crazy, those two metalheads scaling the speaker tower or the fact that they were actually guilty 😂🤯 I mean, come on, 20-50 meters is like, a death wish! 🚨 But at the same time, can you blame them? It's Metallica and a concert – it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, right? 🤘

And now, let's talk about some good vibes – John Butler Trio covering his own song "Zebra" with Metallica? That's awesome! 🎸 I love how he joined in on the fun, playing that custom-made slide guitar. It's all about finding that balance between having a wild time and respecting the rules, you know? 🤝
 
omg 😱 i was literally in shock when i saw those two dudes scaling that speaker tower 🤯 it's just so reckless and stupid! 💔 i mean, i get it, metallica is metallica and all, but come on! that's not a prank, that's a death wish 😂. the fact that they got away with it for as long as they did is just wild 🤪. now that they're banned from the stadium for life, maybe they'll think twice before doing something so stupid again? 🤞
 
omg can u believe those two metalheads had to climb that high? 🤯 i was at the concert and it was literally crazy, i felt so bad for people watching from below... but at the same time i get why they did it lol, who doesnt love a good Metallica show?! 🤘 anyway, it's good that the court is cracking down on reckless behavior like that... 1000 bucks might not seem much to some, but its still pretty steep. btw, have u heard John Butler Trio's song "Zebra"?? it's literally my jam 🎸👍
 
Dude I'm literally shaking my head about these two metalheads 🤯😱! Scaling the speaker tower at Metallica's concert? That's just not cool fam 😎. I get that they were trying to make a statement, but did they really have to put themselves and others in harm's way? 🚨 The fine is steep, $1k each? Worth it for that adrenaline rush, maybe? 🤔 But seriously, can't we all just enjoy the music without putting lives at risk? 💔 On a lighter note though, who doesn't love John Butler Trio's "Zebra" 🎸 and Metallica's cover was pure magic ✨! Let's just have fun safely, you know? 🙏 #MetallicaForever #JohnButlerTrio #ConcertSafetyFirst
 
Can't believe these 2 metalheads thought they were some kinda heroes 🤦‍♂️. Scaling the speaker tower? Are you bloody kidding me? That's just stupid, plain and simple 😒. And now they're banned from Optus Stadium for life? Good riddance, if you ask me 👋. What's next, climbing on stage during a concert? Get a grip, folks! 🙄
 
I was just thinking about how some concerts feel like mini music festivals and you're right to wonder if stunts like those two metalheads pulled off are worth it 🤯... I mean, I've been to some wild parties in my time but scaling a stadium tower is just crazy talk! On a more pleasant note, have you ever tried playing with an Indian slide guitar? That Chaturangui sounds like so much fun to play around with 🎸.
 
🤯 I mean, what's with these kids? 10-50 meters up, that's just crazy talk! 🚨 You're putting thousands of people's lives at risk for some thrill-seeking stunt. And now they're paying the price with a hefty fine and a lifetime ban from the stadium... 🤑 It's just not worth it, you know?

And I've gotta say, Metallica's Aussie tour has been pretty lit so far! 😎 That cover of "Zebra" was awesome and I loved seeing John Butler Trio get involved too. The custom guitar he played was insane! 🎸 But let's all be careful out there and enjoy the music from a safe distance, you feel? 💖
 
Ugh, what was those two metalheads thinking?! 🤯 I mean, I get it, they're fans and all, but scaling the speaker tower? That's just crazy talk! 😱 10-50 meters is like, way too close to a potential fall, you know? 🙅‍♂️ And that Magistrate was right, their actions were stupid. Stupid, I tell ya! 😒 But on the bright side, it's not like they broke any major laws or harmed anyone, so maybe they'll get a second chance? Fingers crossed, guys! 🤞
 
idk about these metalheads thinkin they can just scale a speaker tower during a concert lol what were they even thinkin?? it's like, concerts are for singing along and having a good time not for makin reckless stunts .anyway, gotta give props to John Butler Trio and Metallica for bringin the heat with that cover of "Zebra" 🤟🎸 but still, can't believe those two dudes got barred from Optus Stadium for life 🚫👎
 
man... can't believe those two clowns thought scaling the speaker tower was a good idea 🤯🚫. what's next? trying to get a selfie on top of a nuclear reactor? i mean, i know some people might find it cool or whatever but come on, you're gonna put yourself and others at risk for a social media post or a cheap thrill 📸😂. and $1000 fines is not even enough, like what are they gonna do with that kind of money - pay off their parents? 😂. gotta respect the security team and law enforcement who stepped in to prevent something way more serious from happening 💪🚔.
 
omg did u no those 2 metalheads were so reckless 🤯! scaling the tower like that was insane and lucky they didnt hurt themselves or anyone else 🙏. the court tho was right to ban them for life, thats just not cool 😎. on a more positive note tho, i loved when Metallica played that John Butler Trio cover 🎸👍
 
I FEEL SO BAD FOR THOSE TWO METALHEADS!!! WHO DOES THAT?! SCALING A TOWER DURING A CONCERT? IT'S LIKE, YOU'RE NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHER PEOPLE!!! BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I GET WHY THEY WERE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING COOL AND EXTREME... I MEAN, METALLICA IS ONE OF MY FAVE BANDS TOO!!! 🤘 ANYWAY, I HOPE THEY LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT BEING RESPONSIBLE WITH THEIR ACTIONS... AND CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING 20 FEET UP IN THE AIR WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! 😱
 
omg what was going through those two dudes minds?? 🤯 climbing 10-50 meters high like that's insane... I mean I get it, Metallica is epic but come on! 😂 they got lucky no one died... well kinda lol the fine is pretty harsh too $1000 each? that's a pretty penny 🤑. anyway glad the concert went on and we got to see them play some awesome songs including that John Butler cover 🎸👏
 
Man, this whole thing is like, a perfect example of how the government needs to step up its game when it comes to concert security 🤔. I mean, think about it, these two metalheads were basically just trying to make a statement, but they ended up putting themselves and others in harm's way. It's like, they need some extra support from the authorities to keep them safe during events.

And can we talk about how this is just another example of the "Wild West" feeling that Australia has been having lately? I mean, one minute you've got people getting kicked out for scaling a speaker tower, and the next thing you know, local bands are getting featured at major concerts 🎸. It's like, what's going on here?

But seriously though, this incident does bring up some valid points about concert safety and security. I think we need to have a more in-depth conversation about how these events can be made safer for everyone involved 💬.
 
I gotta say, these two metalheads were literally begging for trouble 🤘🚫. I mean, who tries to scale a speaker tower at a concert? It's just so reckless and thoughtless... they could've seriously hurt themselves or others! The fines are probably not enough punishment - they should be banned from concerts forever, no question 🚫. But, on the other hand, it's still pretty crazy that Metallica busted out an Aussie hit cover in Perth - John Butler Trio is a genius! 🔥
 
omg what a crazy stunt 🤯! those two dudes must have been totally out of it to even think about doing that 🙄. 10-50 meters up on the speaker tower? that's just asking for trouble 💥. i'm glad they got caught and are facing the consequences, but still can't believe what they did 😅. and now everyone's talking about how Metallica rocked out with John Butler Trio's song... that was a sick cover 🤘!
