A recent Metallica concert in Perth has sparked controversy and left fans outraged. The heavy metal band's performance at Optus Stadium turned into a hotbed of discussion, with concertgoers taking to Reddit to share their shocking experiences.
The thread, which gained momentum over the past few days, reveals a dark side to the event. One local fan expressed their disgust, writing, "Whoever was smoking shard at Metallica, get a life!" This sparked a wave of comments, with attendees sharing their encounters with drug use during the concert.
"I couldn't believe it," said one concertgoer, "I smelled weed, DMT, and meth... it was crazy!" Another fan emphasized the lack of consideration for others, stating, "People smoking around children and others at a concert is just unacceptable."
The thread continued to grow, with more fans sharing their anecdotes. One person described a disturbing scene: "A woman lit a pipe right before Metallica's set, and it attracted a crowd of people asking for a hit." This incident highlighted the growing meth problem in Perth, with one commenter noting, "The meth issue is out of control, and doing it at a crowded concert puts everyone at risk."
Many fans reported a strong smell of marijuana throughout Optus Stadium, with one fan humorously comparing it to "Snoop Dogg's basement."
