Metallica Obsessed Couple Announce Birth of Baby Orion

Facebook: Metallica Metallica fans Dennis Ortiz and his wife Annette Ortiz-Diaz created quite an Internet buzz when they got hitched in 2010. After making their entrance as a married couple, the two joined the wedding band to jam Metallica’s ‘Master of Puppets’ at their own wedding reception and the video, seen below, went viral. Both Dennis and Annette are seasoned musicians both with many bands under their belt. According to Blabbermouth.net , Dennis even had a Metallica tribute band called Trapped Under Rice, showing his allegiance to the band. When Metallica played their week of intimate fan club shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco, Calif., last year, Dennis and Annette even had the opportunity to join the band that inspired them so much. During the Dec. 10, 2011, show, drummer Lars Ulrich played their video and invited them up onstage. Annette took over the drum kit while Ulrich recorded the video for the excited couple and then joined in on a second kit. The two were performed ‘Blackened’ from ‘…And Justice for All’ live with the band. Now, the metal inspired Mr. and Mrs. are back with a very special new video, announcing the birth of their son, aptly named Dax Orion Diaz. The birth announcement starts off with video clips of Annette behind the drum kit with her baby bump, playing the classic Metallica tune ‘Orion.’ It ends on a happy note, with “The birth of a Metal God” showing baby Dax Orion Diaz in the hospital shortly after his arrival. Congrats to the faithful Metallica fans on the new addition to the family; check out the videos below.

The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney Gets Married

Simone Joyner, Getty Images Congrats are in order for Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, who married Emily Ward Saturday (Sept. 15) at their home in Nashville. Spinner reports that the couple were joined by approximately 350 guests for the backyard ceremony, which was officiated by former Saturday Night Live comedian Will Forte. Ward wore a white Carolina Herrera dress while walking the aisle to the sounds of the Tommy James classic, ‘Crimson and Clover.’ Carney, sporting a white tuxedo jacket, was accompanied down the aisle by the couple’s Irish wolfhound Charlotte. Carney’s brothers, Will Carney and Barry Stormer, were both part of the wedding party. Dan Auerbach, Carney’s singing and guitar playing cohort in Black Keys, was also one of the guests at the wedding. Though the band are still having great success with their ‘El Camino’ album, Carney revealed earlier this year that they planned to spend some time in the studio in July, and while there’s been no reports of them finishing the release, the drummer felt it would give them a nice start to a potential album for 2013.
