According to Lars Ulrich, an interview with Noel Gallagher is what inspired him to give up cocaine.
The Metallica drummer was speaking to The Mirror, where he discussed his previous drug habits. He said that he was more of a lightweight than the rest of the group and ended up doing the devil's dandruff to keep up with his band mates. However after reading an interview with Noel he chose to give up - on the spot.
"In the early days, I'd always get drunk way faster than the other guys," said Ulrich. "I realised that if there was a little bit of cocaine involved I could stay up longer, instead of ending up face down in the corner, passed out three hours before the party ended."

"I loved the social elements of cocaine. I loved the danger of it. Then, about 10 years ago, I read an interview with Noel Gallagher, in which he said, 'I just stopped doing cocaine'. I thought that was really cool. It felt so fresh, so honest, so pure - I love that side of him. I've never had an addictive personality, so I woke up one day and said, 'Enough'."
