Rockstar’s ‘badass’ gender reveal goes viral

The rockstar uploaded the video on TikTok, which has since garnered over three million views.  

He stands in front of a garage with a banner that reads ‘Here for the sex’. 

Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ played in the background while the dad-to-be paced back and forth to the music with a guitar in his hand. 

Roughly one minute into the song, he smashed the guitar on the ground in time with the music. 

The instrument exploded upon impact, with pink smoke spilling onto the concrete. Two smoke machines nearby followed suit, filling the air with more pink clouds. 

Overjoyed, he jumped up and down excitedly through the cloud of pink before running to his fiancee and giving her a kiss.
