Page Hamilton's Sobriety Journey: Clear-Headed & Creating

0:00It's April 4th. Welcome in. This is Music News Today, where music meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Paige Hamilton from Hellman is opening up about his sobriety journey, marking nearly 90 days clean down under in Australia. The heavy rock pioneer, known for rewiring riffs that influence bands like deft tones and corn, ditched booze after years of heavy abuse. He's got a rock-solid sponsor, a 35 or 36-year Vietnam vet who rides Harley's and scares even Marilyn Manson, who hits the same. Meetings. Paige calls him daily and meets three times a week, two online and one in person, while attending sessions every single day, no matter where he is. Back in the day, his drinking was extreme, 15 to 20 beers daily on a normal stretch, with Tyler and Sohye, he barely felt it until the 12th. He'd hide it during movie nights, packing eight cans just to seem moderate, all while thinking he was productive jamming guitar between bathroom beer, runs.

1:00Now sober, he's waking up clearheaded at 6am, no more 4am, blackouts, or hangovers killing his flow. That obsessive focus that fueled his music finally works for recovery, turning chaotic nights into real output. Hellman's legacy rolls on from their gold certified 1992 smash, meantime, through fresh drops like left last year, proving Paige's clarity. Use the hostile grooves alive and kicking.
