Metallica: D'ya Wanna Sandwich?

JAMES HETFIELD'S huge truck is parked outside STEFFAN CHIRAZI's San Francisco abode. Its owner is inside the house, stepping over our scribe's carpet off half-eaten burgers, drips off ketchup, dashes off mayonnaise, slivers off melted cheese and the odd gherkin. But he's not here to swap recipes (or carpet patterns); James is here to talk serious shit (man) about METALLICA — about their past, their problems, their personalities, their future... and the band's big British dates, which are due to commence this very week. But more importantly, he explains why he won't be found in gig foyers asking... D'ya wanna sandwich?
