According to TheQuietUs.com, Metallica drummer Lars "Napster" Ulrich was inspired to give up Cocaine by Oasis's Noel Gallagher – who he is a big fan of.
Ulrich 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."
