The Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour is a North American tour featuring co-headliners American Hard Rock band Guns N' Roses and American Heavy Metal band Metallica, during their Use Your Illusion and Wherever We May Roam tours respectively in 1992. The two had previously collaborated on a one-off supergroup that performed on November 9, 1990; that show was one of few pre-1995 performances where Metallica tuned their guitars down to Eb standard for the duration of the show.

During the summer of 1992, Lars Ulrich and Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash held a press conference announcing the tour, claiming that the two biggest bands in the world touring together is a "no brainer".

Out of the 36 Planned Shows only 10 Were cancelled (July 31st - Aug 5th - Cancelled for Unknown Reasons) (August 9th - August 22nd - Cancelled Due to the Montreal Incident, Read Below for the Incidents information.

The tour would also include the infamous 1992 Montreal riot, on August 8th 1992 GNR&Metallica Played the Olympic Stadium, Then about An Hour and a half into Metallica's Set: 8:05 PM, The Song was Fade to Black, Everything went casually but Lars was confused by James' Onstage Positioning, but it was too Late as I said at 8:05 PM Pyrotechnics Launched from under the stage onto James. They all Ran over Kirk said something among the lines of 'Dude are you alright' but then after a Security Guard walks on James hand, James Screamed and Punched him in the Privates. Jason after James was aborted into an ambulance and they all went backstage, said something like this to calm the crowd 'James isnt okay but we'll come back later I dont know when, Thank you Montreal' Then 1 Minute Later Lars said the Infamous quote from VH1's Behind the Music 'There was an Incident with the pyrotechnics, unfortunately James, is on his way to the hospital right now, Sorry but we cant continue the concert for you guys tonight, But we promise you one thing and we always go by our words, We will come back, Finish our concert and play for you guys as soon as we can in the next couple of months, Thank you Montreal we're sorry Okay.' then to close Metallica's Set once and for All Kirk said 'Thanks for being so Patient, thanks alot' Then they left. After that the Riot ensued.

Despite hardships, the tour would overall be a financial success for Metallica. The band however would swear off touring with Guns N' Roses ever again after the tour was over.
