“But something tells me it just wouldn't work out.” “I would love to do a baptism in the pit, that would be cool,” he remarked. Those who were in his presence reported that he would dip his fingers in beer and flick it onto them, as if to bless them. He said his enrobed escapades are more for the enjoyment of others rather than himself. “I was like, ‘Holy ****, this is really happening.’” “I was actually crying when I was watching Scotty post,” TW said. Posts by Gary Holt of Exodus, and Scott Ian of Anthrax popped up, with the latter stating that Metal Jesus will be on the guest list the next time they come through. It was at this point that even members of bands that played that night were showing TW recognition.

Little did he know, his story would explode into the public eye, with multiple outlets running stories on the incident, including the largest publication of metal news, Loudwire. Not long after, he was led out by police officers on each arm and would end up spending a night in the drunk tank. “So, I just dumped my popcorn all over everybody and next thing you know, there was four bouncers on me.” “I accidentally bumped into somebody, and they freaked out at me, and the security entertained it, that’s what I couldn’t get over,” TW told Kelowna10. TW gained his legendary status after an incident at a metal concert in Penticton, a show which he lamented had ‘weak’ mosh pits.

Many people took photos with him or simply marvelled at his presence. The Lake Country resident, who wished to be known as simply ‘TW’, decided to don the robes himself, and found that everyone loved seeing Jesus alongside them in the pit. It all began when he saw another heavy metal fan go to concerts dressed as the Christian leader. He is known by many names, including angry Jesus and popcorn Jesus.īut to most, he is the legendary ‘Metal Jesus’.
