There was this kinda hard looking dude with this huge Metallica tattoo on his leg at the party. I asked him what he was doing at a Journey show especially ILAA, his comment was he loved Metallica, but he loved Journey too since it was great music and great musicians.
You'd be surprised at how many metal fans cross over into at least some MR and vice versa, especially if you're talking prog metal, like Dream Theater. Aside from that, if you ever go to a metal show, you'd be surprised at what you might find. Sure, there are some Kerry King lookalikes, but there's also a lot of skinny, weird lookin dorks that go to those shows and love that music. Metal concerts don't exclusively attract huge bald goateed guys in droves any more than MR concerts exclusively attract people with mullets and full denim suits
