Metallica drummer inspired by Oasis to give up coke

It seems that Oasis was an influence on Metallica recently, but not in the musical sense. Noel Gallagher gave up cocaine in 1998, and a couple of years ago, Metallica's Lars Ulrich gave up cocaine while taking Gallagher as his inspiration: "A couple of years ago I was like, 'You know? Enough of this. I don't need it'. It was literally something that happened one morning, like 'Y'know? Fuck that.'" Describing himself as an "Oasis fanatic" Ulrich cited Gallagher's ability to kick the habit as a model:  "If he can do it, everybody else can do it."

 

It's always nice to see musicians of any stripe getting off life-crippling addictions. Now if only Metallica would produce a quality album after its drumme has gone clean.
