Woman Scares Off A Cougar With Metallica

This is pretty wild. I would have never thought to blast Metallica to scare off a cougar. LOL
So next time you're out hiking, don't forget your Metallica.

Funny, it tends to have the opposite effect in my neck of the woods.

Should have played Cannibal Corpse.-Hammer smashed face but I digress, good for her!

So she was just playing the song on her phone?

I would expect it to work if you had some good speakers, playing it loud, but I wouldn't have thought it would work playing the music on your phone.

I assume the music we can hear in the video, is what they're playing in the TV Studio.

I can't help but notice however, that the cougar did not go anywhere. At least in the clip they showed, he didn't move.

a reply to: BrokenCircles

Yeah, I noticed he didn't move too.
As for phones, my Husband has one that is loud when playing music or a movie.

Metal has the effect on most living things. Only the extremely deranged enjoy that noise. a reply to: Night Star

I used to play Metallica to scare off Seventh Day Adventists.....

I try to attract cougars by not playing Metellica.
Claude Debussy and hoof-rattles seem to bee a draw.
I like cougers.
They drive away pests and rodents.

Well if you look anything like your avatar, then your comment makes no sense.

I suppose I should just assume that's not a selfie?

I should have expected that.
Regarding any new gadgets (cell phones, etc..), I'm actually several years behind the times.

I don't see the cougar moving at all. Could be fake?

I remember this story, James Hetfield even called her as she wished.

In late July, the story of a Canadian woman who used Metallica's "Don't Tread on Me" to fend off a stalking cougar made headlines. The lady, Dee Gallant, mentioned that she'd love to be able to thank frontman James Hetfield someday for how his riffs saved her life. Papa Het took notice apparently, as Gallant got a surprise call from the thrash pioneer earlier this week.

Thats pretty cool of him.

a reply to: DrumsRfun

Wow, cool! I wouldn't mind a call from him.

Cougars are a beautiful wildcat! I just wouldn't want one pouncing on me.

a reply to: BrokenCircles

I still have a flip top phone. I only use it for calls and texts.

I don't know, I watched it again full screen and that is bizarre. You would think its' ears might twitch, tail would move or something.

I know of a guy that had one pounce on his back.
He pulled a knife and injured himself pretty bad.
It's possible the cat thought there was something wrong with the guy that stabbed himself in the neck that made it safer to not eat that one.

Just keep saving all your allowance, wash behind your ears good and maybe you can afford that Barry Manilow cover band next month.

It was great stress relief for me as a teen.

Metal and Punk used to be anti authority and anti establishment,but now,not so much.

What the hell is a metallica?

Man, he could have killed himself with that knife in his neck.
