Metallica was a force of nature at that time.


The Black Album was the perfect album for them in August 1991.

The production on that album plus song composition blended very well with what was going on. For example "The Unforgiven" played well to those audiences. And they were ahead of the curb on that album, so it didn't feel like they were really trying to copy anyone.

Willing to bet a Metallica & Alice in Chains tour in 1991-1993 would've made a lot of money.

I dont think anyone considers Metallica hair metal... so, they probably dont apply to the conversation..

Hair Metal was just asking to be put out of its misery... Nirvana just ended up being the steamroller... tramp the dirt down!

Metallica wanted AIC to open for them on the Black Album tour but by the time they formally asked them AIC had already committed to opening up the Van Halen tour. There was nobody out there they wanted so they just didn't have any opener in America on the Black Album tour. I went to the Shreveport show & they just showed a video for about 20 minutes before they came out on stage.

AIC was set to open for Metallica on the 1994 Summer Tour but Layne of course had to go to rehab so they had to drop out of the tour right before it started. I went to that show in Houston(Baytown)& they had Candlebox replace AIC. It was Metallica, Candlebox, Suicidal Tendancies, & Fight(Rob Halford's band after leaving Priest). It was insane & everyone wishes AIC would have been there. I never got the see them with Layne.
