Metallica rocker James Hetfield is struggling to stay off alcohol as the band embark on another world tour. The singer is a recovering alcoholic, who has managed 12 years without booze.
But he admits its a hard temptation to resist - particularly when the band is on the road.
Hetfield says, "The temptation to drink is with me forever. When you've done something a certain way for so long, doing it a different way is difficult. You start to doubt yourself. I'll never be cured. It's one of those things that I'll have to deal with all my life."

So it musta been hard to switch from Thrash metal to fag metal then if its so hard to do it in a different way after such a long time. Play your shit music and shut the fuck up Metallica, nobody give a flying fuck about you posers anymore.

fuck all these assholes... i'm a recovering alcoholic and i don't have the temptation to drink anymore, but i can DEFINITELY relate to what he's going through... i've been a huge fan of metallica (except st. anger) for years, but if he thinks he's gonna fuck up his sobriety, then he should just say fuck the tour (as much as i'd like to see them live)... as for all you other fucktards who have nothing better to do than belittle one of metal's greatest frontmen, fuck off cuz you obviously don't know the severity of alcoholism and God bless!

agreed. besides, "alcoholism" is a really lame addiction. try heroin metallica! worked great for megadeth back in the day. quitters are losers, and losers don't really put out good music all that often do they?

I hope he drowns in alcohol, and then someone lights him on fire. If we are lucky the fire will spread and the entire band will go down in flames. But just Hetfield burning would be enough for celebration throughout the world.

Load and Reload were recorded while he was sober, but the majority was written while he was on the sauce. But yeah...last 1/2-way decent album was when he was tanked.
