Elderly men sneak out of nursing home to attend heavy metal festival

• tannhaeuser 7y ago
  There was this hilarious documentary on metal bands (death and black metal, specifically), where the singer/shouter had problems remembering the text. Something about satan, or was it? He also had to grow real long hair, to put it in front of his face during a gig. Because who wants to see a bald man at a metal festival?

  Debunked, unfortunately, as it seemed a story 'too good to be true' even at the time: https://www.snopes.com/ap/2018/08/07/police-2-men-escape-care-home-party-german-town/ https://www.snopes.com/ap/2018/08/07/police-2-men-escape-car... "Itzehoe police spokesman Peter Berndt said Tuesday the two men were actually 58 and 59 and left a home for people with mental health issues to party Friday night in the town of Wacken, near the eponymous festival. Festival-goers called police after finding the two “helpless, disoriented and intoxicated” waiting for a bus home at a main street stop after the buses had stopped running at 3 a.m. Saturday. Police brought them to a first-aid station and then later in the morning sent them home in a taxi arranged by the care home about 30 kilometers (20 miles away)."
