Metallica have revealed that they would embark on a co-headlining tour with comeback rockers Guns N' Roses.

Drummer Lars Ulrich made the announcement, and admitted he would jump at the chance to tour alongside Axl Rose's legendary group. He revealed the band are big fans of their rock counterparts, who they rose to fame alongside in the 1980s.

He's quoted as saying, "We're road dogs. We love to tour. So we'd never say no. We've learned never to say no to anything, and all four of us love (the new Guns N' Roses' album) 'Chinese Democracy'."

But Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett was slightly more realistic and added, "The real question is whether they would tour with us."

That would be some classic shit, just like in 1991 Smiley Wonder if Axl's interested?

This would be AMAZING!!  Lars and Axl have always been close so this doesnt surprise me.  Even James seemed optimistic at the idea of touring with GNR. 

Axl, get on the phone!!  hihi

I would be terribly upset if GnR were asked to open the show on such a tour.  Roll Eyes

Pretty funny, considering how 'well' the last joint tour went with those two bands.

It would have to be a co-headliner type of thing.  Both bands are far to big to open for one or the other.  I think there would have to be at least one more band that would open.

That story is so twisted, they don't even mention someone asked them at the conference and the first reaction was a huge laugh.

the way they said it wasn't meant as a serious offer, just something they wouldn't rule out on their previous experience with Gn'r, because time has told them, and this is a quote" never say never to anything"

but they were clear on one thing, that's not something they would go after, if it came to happen they would consider it, but the fact that the question raised such a huge laugh on the press conference speaks a lot more than anything.

Back in '91/'92...they co-headlined the tour.  They'd both do FULL headline sets, and they both had a full stage setup and crew (with about an hour to an hour and 30 minute wait between acts, actually, while they re-set).

I saw that show (with Faith No More doing the first set, Metallica doing the 2nd, and GnR doing the last) and it was AMAZING.  FUCKING AMAZING.  I've seen a LOT of shows/concerts during my life and this one is still the best for me.  2 incredible bands, both in GREAT form, both during their "heyday".  It wasn't a perfect show.  There were some technical issues (story of GnR, eh?) and a couple of crowd issues...but it was still awesome.  3 AMAZING sets.  Even FNM, who got "stuck" playing at like 3 PM or something like that, was VERY good.

I'd buy tickets in a heartbeat.  I'm assuming it would need to be a summer stadium tour....and I think it would sell like gangbusters.

Well, other than James getting burned, and then the ensuing riot (if there can be an "other than"), from my memory it went pretty well.

There were some postponements...both because of that and because of some voice problems on Axl's part...but the show I saw was stellar.  And it's not even the show that got the best review of the tour......

Yeah, anything for a nice headline.

"Never say never" doesn't exactly mean there's an offer....

Yeah, it's probably a pipe dream.  But it's a nice one...   Smiley

Kinda like fantisizing about what you'd do if you won the lottery....only slightly more likely.

So true. I am probably in the minority, but I would prefer to seee GNR tour with Baz again. I don't have any real desire to see Metallica in concert.

well if I had to be so not selfish and share GN'R live show with other bands I would have to choose Nine Inch Nails with SexTapes opening.
