It is very true that Metallica wanted AIC to open the Black Album tour but couldn’t because they already agreed to open for VH. I saw the interview with Lars explaining this on MTV right when the tour started. I have no doubt they wanted Skid Row as well but he never mentioned them in that interview.

I didn't say it was an MTV interview - it was a print interview in a magazine.

Which specific MTV interview was it that you saw? Was it Rockline with Kirk & Lars? That is the longest interview they did on MTV in '91 by far.

I sure as heck do not recall anyone in that group even mentioning Alice In Chains in 1991, much less offering them a tour.

Not to mention that if they were so gung ho on doing that, they could have had them as an opener at some point during 1992/1993. It wasn't "An Evening With" for 2 years.
