It's all about rock and metal, man.

which is exactly why he decided to get sober.
In my book, you need serious guts to step up and do that. If he’d just kept drinking, he would’ve been showing weakness.
A lot of these so-called "hardcore metal guys" are calling him soft right now, but honestly, he’s shown more strength than any of them ever will. He's acting like a real man.
Man, people just don't get it. If the last album you actually liked was And Justice for All, that was nearly two decades ago. It’s been plenty of time to grow up and stop whining. That version of Metallica hasn't existed for fifteen years, yet for some reason, fans still act like spoiled brats, demanding they play fast, stay aggressive, have long hair, and party hard—all just so they have a "real metal" band to brag about.
But these fans are over 40 now. They have families and kids. Maybe they've realized that if they want to raise their children and actually see them grow up, they have to change their lifestyle.
It’s only natural that those changes affect the music too.
Do people really expect them to stay rebels forever? Come on. James Hetfield takes his daughter to ballet classes every week. He plays with his kids and spends most of his time sober with his family. Yet, these angry metalheads think it's a bad thing. They think he needs to be a rebel, keep drinking, swear on stage, and ruin his life just to satisfy them.
I guess some people think it’s "cool" to come home high, bloated, or maybe even take it out on your spouse or kids. That’s what they’re looking for, I guess.🙄
