METALLICA CONSIDERING TOURING WITH GUNS AND ROSES.

METALLICA would consider a rock supertour with GUNS N' ROSES - after hailing the group's comeback album CHINESE DEMOCRACY. The Enter Sandman hitmakers are big fans of their rock counterparts, who they rose to fame alongside in the 1980s. And drummer Lars Ulrich admits he would jump at the chance to tour alongside Axl Rose's legendary group.

He says, "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 Chinese Democracy." But guitarist Kirk Hammett admits he doesn't see the rockers making an offer in the near future, adding: "The real question is whether they would tour with us."
