An 85-year-old METALLICA fan got to meet the band on Saturday night (October 3) before their show in Tampa, Florida, according to TampaBay.com. After a story in last Thursday's (October 1) St. Petersburg Times about the woman, named Margaret Priebe, spread throughout the Internet, representatives of the band invited both Priebe and her 48-year-old son Jim backstage, where she spent quality time with all four members of the group. Hetfield also dedicated the song "Nothing Else Matters" to Margaret in front of 18,000 people at that night's concert.

Drummer Lars Ulrich greeted Priebe as "The number one METALLICA fan," while Hetfield asked if he could hug her. The band members autographed her copy of their latest album, "Death Magnetic", and also gave her a road crew shirt.

After meeting the band, Priebe said, "They were just like what I'd thought they'd be — very nice."

Priebe first got into METALLICA nine years ago, when she heard a cut from their live "S&M" album on the radio. During a successful battle with cancer last year, Priebe kept herself going by listening to the band — along with JUDAS PRIEST, OZZY OSBOURNE and others — on her MP3 player.

Priebe told the Times, "People think I'm weird. But I'm sorry, I like it loud."

St. Petersburg Times reports that Margaret Priebe is 85 years old and a huge METALLICA fan. She's going to the band's October 3 show at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida with her son, Jim Priebe.

While Margaret was fighting cancer — and getting chemo — she'd stay up late and listen to METALLICA on her MP3 player, especially the band's live recording with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. She says the heavy metal band got her through the tough times. "I always liked rock music," Priebe said. "I love drums, and I like the way they play."

"I like METALLICA — there's nothing wrong with them," Margaret added. "People think I'm weird. But I'm sorry, I like it loud."
