Metallica concert chronology |
Background
Metallica supported Ozzy Osbourne from March to August,[1] headlined a string of U.S. dates between May 23 and June 7 with Armored Saint, and were the main act throughout the fall and winter with support from Anthrax and Metal Church. Roadie John Marshall, who later played guitar in Metal Church, filled in for James Hetfield on rhythm guitar between July 27 and September 25 following a mid-tour skateboarding accident resulting in a broken arm.[2] Hetfield, Cliff Burton and Kirk Hammett had discussed firing Lars Ulrich upon completion of the tour,[3] but plans were set aside upon the death of Burton on September 27, 1986, in a tour bus accident near Ljungby, Sweden, while en route from Stockholm to Copenhagen, Denmark.[4] Performances that were scheduled for October were postponed and the band hired a new bassist, Jason Newsted, to complete the rest of the tour on October 28, 1986.[5][6] Metallica also became the first band of the Big Four to cross the Iron Curtain, with two concerts in Katowice, Poland, on February 10 and 11, 1987.
