Manowar stops in Beach City, and Amethyst and Eric Adams (the lead singer) will greet eachother, which is when Amethyst will reveal that he met Eric when was 4 years old and inspired him to take up music. Years later, she got him acquainted with famous actor Orson Welles (This would later prove to be useful when Manowar was formed, as he would do the narrations for their songs "Dark Avenger" and "Defender") In the 1980s, they met again, and Amethyst tested Eric's warrior skill, and noted he would make a great Crystal Gem. (If he was a Gem) After telling her story, she reveals that she gave him a gem (The Gem Of Enchantment) for good luck, and Eric reveals that he now calls it "The Gem Of Odin" and that "The Gem Of Odin" is the name of a new Manowar album in the works, and the name of the tour supporting said album. The Gems are furious that Amethyst would give a human a gem artifact. Afterward, Eric invites Amethyst and the Gems to the concert in Beach City. Later that night, as the band performs "The Gods Made Heavy Metal", Pearl formulates a plan to get the Gem Of Enchantment back from Manowar, and she and Garnet put the plan into action, effectively pausing the performance. When Amethyst returns from the snack bar, she is upset to see the Gems ruining the show and jumps on stage to confront them. (While apologizing to the band) Amethyst and the gems get into a fight, and Eric convinces the audience to come on up and fight for the gem. Amidst the fight, Steven climbs on stage and shouts to everyone to stop. After a moving speech, the Gems decide to let go of the Gem Of Enchantment, and help clean up the mess they made of the stage. Amethyst praises Steven on his speech, and Eric tells him he's an honorary "Manowarrior".

For those of you who don't know who Manowar is, here's a picture:

not too shabby
