Metallica frontman James Hetfield fought back tears on Friday as he recounted his public battle with addiction, and labelled the sex, drugs and rock' n' roll ethos as a "horrible myth."
Oh poor wee boy, the life must be pure murder.
As opposed to working all the hours for nae pay and fcuk all sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.....

I like how it took him about twenty fuckin' years to reach that conclusion
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"

If you were in a band who's drummer was Large Oilrig, you'd turn to booze and drugs too.

HaHa, I had thought so.Other performers chimed in with bons mots during the evening. Waits congratulated Hetfield, saying "getting sober's not for sissies."
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

(This was from a "best of popbitch" mail-out, so I'm not sure which December )popbitch wrote:Metallica always take their own chiropractor on tour with them. He's a nice, short, bald guy.
To celebrate the end of their tour in London in December the band held a party at their Covent Garden hotel. As befits an ageing, grimly professional rock band the party was very quiet. Guests just stood around sipping drinks.
Except for the one member of the band who still likes to think of himself as a hellraiser. He stood in the middle of the room snorting lines of coke off the top of his chiropractor's bald head.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

How much more black can this be? And the answer is none. None... more black.

Sorry.
Metallica are just a (third rate) Spinal Tap tribute band. (I still can't put the umlaut on the N )
