By Michael Brandvold of [Michael Brandvold Marketing](http://michaelbrandvold.com/blog/?ref=hypebot.com).

A 90 year old women is a [Metallica](https://www.hypebot.com/metallica-prepping-first-independent-release/) fan and her dream was to meet the band, so they came and visited her. Well done Metallica. I came across this photo (after the jump below) in my Facebook news feed, true or not is not really the point. The point is…would you go out of your way for one fan? If not, than you are not ready for a loyal and supportive [fan base](https://www.hypebot.com/beyond-the-music-how-artists-create-communities/).
