Metallica’s Lars Ulrich Reveals Noel Gallagher Inspiration Behind Quitting Cocaine
Metallica drum king Lars Ulrich has revealed how Oasis' Noel Gallagher inspired him to finally give up cocaine.
Declaring himself a huge Oasis fan, Ulrich told TheQuietUs.com it was Noel Gallagher’s own method of quitting the drug that inspired him to do the same.
He said: “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’. I was very impressed with Noel Gallagher; as you know, I’m an Oasis fanatic, and Noel was like (adopts stentorian tone) ‘You know what? No more cocaine!’ and I thought, ‘If he can do it, everybody else can do it.
"I had my fun with it, it was always more of a social thing. We were never like rolling around and spending days in bathroom stalls, and peeking out the keyholes of doors for days.”
As reported earlier, the metal legends have put a new song up on their official website titled ‘My Apocalypse’, and comes ahead of the release of new album ‘Death Magnetic’ on September 12.
They band are also playing a gig at the London O2 Arena on September 15 for just £5 a ticket. Tickets go onsale via the band's fanclub from Monday September 1.
