Two METALLICA fans scaled the fence around an arena and impersonated staff in a bid to meet their heavy metal idols in Christchurch.
In the Christchurch District Court yesterday, student Christopher John Sage admitted pulling the stunt on September 22, hours before the band were due to play at the CBS Canterbury Arena in Addington.
