Nihilist Arbys is the greatest social media account of all time.

Sober strippers are not uncommon. Bartenders routinely serve mocktails (i.e. cocktails without alcohol) to strippers when a customer "buys them a drink". Source: Me, I tended bar at a strip club for a while.

Absolutely, getting to see Metallica play almost every day for ~3 months? Where do I sign?

Add in that 1) they're such a big band that they don't have to bow to pressure from their label/management and can take whoever the fuck they want on tour with them, so if you're touring with Metallica you know they're a fan of your music and 2) From all I hear they treat their support bands extremely well, because they were treated well by most of the bands they supported in their early days (from what I hear, they modeled their treatment of support acts on the way Ozzy treated them when they toured with him in the 1980s).

One of the biggest things I'd imagine is touring with metallica is a fantastic way to get new fans who are likely to be somewhat unfamiliar with your music.

Not the guy you asked, but in a lot of the world where baseball isn't as popular, they already have a similar sport that is popular (cricket).
