Tearful Metallica singer recounts drugs battle

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

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..... :twisted:

That a recent thing he's blubbing about? I thought all his drugged up days were well behind him, back when they made good music :innocent: .

I like how it took him about twenty fuckin' years to reach that conclusion :roll:

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

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

You get the word "Image" too? Just right-click and click "View Image". If you get a filename instead, just Refresh. Voila, pic. ;)

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.
(This was from a "best of popbitch" mail-out, so I'm not sure which December ;))

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

Sorry. :lol:

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