What was Metallica's 1991–1992 concert tour supporting The Black Album called?

The story behind the answer

Metallica's 1991–1992 concert tour supporting The Black Album was called the Wherever We May Roam Tour.

The tour began in 1991 after the album's release and carried Metallica through major arenas and other venues. It supported the band's fifth studio album, which had quickly become a worldwide commercial breakthrough.

The tour's title is sometimes written incorrectly as “Wherever I May Roam,” matching the title of one of the album's songs. The official tour name was Wherever We May Roam, using “We” rather than “I.” The song itself was one of the album's five official singles.

The concert production was notable for its large rotating stage, multiple performance positions, and the fan area known as the Snakepit. The tour also connected with the later Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour, but that was a separate 1992 co-headlining tour.
