Metallica frontman James Hetfield has credited the documentary film 'Some Kind Of Monster' for saving his life from alcoholism.
The 2004 film followed the band around during 2001 to 2003, while the band were working on their previous album 'St. Anger'.
Hetfield says, "(The film) took the black veil away, it took the mystique and the mystery out of the rock myth of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. Music is the best drug in the whole fucking world and moves me like no other. I thank God that I discovered that gift early on."
The band are currently working with legendary producer Rick Rubin on a new album.
