Roman, however he is called, still remained on the highest wave saying it was the most legendary night for metal, and the photos can vouch. Said to be spirit-in-the-eyes, some very electrifying shots of those crazy moments of a Black Sabbath show went out on Instagram with the photographer-host thanking from the bottom of his heart.

“I don’t have the words to describe what just transpired this weekend,” wrote Roman. “I can just say I feel blessed to have those bands and all this music. Thank you for being the soundtrack to all our lives.” This was an instant eruption of metal rage, a post with pictures of Ozzy Osbourne and the thunderous crowd.
Conceived with a Leica, the raw capture of the night from the sweating mosh pits to the famous Black Sabbath stage created a sincere documentary. One of those photos shows Roman wearing a Black Sabbath tee, sunglasses, with an old battered hat on, lost in all the pandemonium. A man who slathered his tattooed arms in camera gear, half because he was a fan and half because he was documenting this historic moment.
Comments about the pictures just gush with praise. One said, “lifetime kind of photos,” while others marveled, “the intensity, energy can be felt just from the images.” “As a metalhead my whole life, watching you live out a fucking dream is next level awesome!!” opined one such enthusiastic metalhead.
Of course, not every attendee was there for the music. One commenter quipped: “I know that is NOT @iamstevent, ‘I postponed my shows for A YEAR, then canceled them because I just CANT SING ANYMORE.’” The put down did not really last long, however, as the other comments went on to hail Roman as the “Perfect person to host!” while laughing at him “jumping off the stage to head to the pit.”
The post was more than about the music; it was a tribute to the metal world. “I’ll love this community and I love these musicians!!” plus a victorious “ALL HAIL BLACK SABBATH!!!”

That floor went not just on Roman but on all witnesses. In one way or the other, through the pictures or jib-jumping in the comments shine a beacon of light: this one is an all-time metal tale.
