OK, first of, "oldschoolpunker," why don't you cut the crap and take your negative comments elsewhere. Second, metallica themselves have never done drugs, or have never done it to the point of addiction. To quote them from Behind the Music, they never wanted to get high, they just wanted to get drunk. They've always been ones to tackle social issues, and drugs is without a doubt one of them. Here are a few other topics they've sung about that they themselves have not personally experienced: Nuclear War, Death Penalty, War, Corruption of Government, blah blah blah. Basically, you dont have to do drugs to sing about them. Oh, and another thing....lets see....old school punk bands...lets say the Sex Pistols? Johnny Rotten, their lead singer...what did he die of? HERION OVERDOSE! So i guess he was a poser, huh? Then the Beatles would be posers too, huh?, since pretty much all of Seargent Peppers was made while they were doing drugs, as well as a lot of their other albums. I am in no way supporting drugs.....but with your close mindedness, and "FUCKING" metallica becuase you think they do drugs, well, then we'd have to fuck quite a lot of artists, now wouldn't we?

Johnny Rotten is still alive by the way. Sid Vicious, the bass player died of a heroin overdose. Don't be a hipocrit, because Alcohol is a drug too. James Hetfield almost drank himself to death. He became a real asshole, espicially to Jason. That's why Jason left... My favorite singer died of a Heroin overdose, so keep it cool. No reason to hate. Music should bring people together. R.I.P. Layne Staley...

@nimrod18037 Alcohol is another drug, that can be your master.

@nimrod18037 Metallica is American. They have obviously personally experienced corruption of government, as well as basically participated in it.
