The Night Stalker Was Furious That He Missed the Show
Kirk Hammett recalled how he received a souvenir that was linked to the killer. “I got a really cool thing from one of the correctional officers,” he explained. “It was a magazine with us on the cover and the subscription tag said ‘Richard Ramirez’– the ‘Night Stalker’ killer who was at San Quentin while we were playing.”

Turns out Ramirez was a Metallica fan, but since he was on death row, he could only hear them. Apparently, he was furious that he didn’t get to witness it. The guards said Ramirez was “pissed off and pacing his cell.”
