What was the name of Metallica's 14-month tour supporting The Black Album?

The story behind the answer

Metallica's 14-month tour supporting The Black Album was called the Wherever We May Roam Tour.

The tour followed the album's release and supported Metallica's rapid rise from major thrash-metal act to global arena and stadium headliner. Its name came from “Wherever I May Roam,” one of the album's prominent songs.

The itinerary included dates in the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The scale of the run reflected the album's international success and the band's ability to bring its elaborate live production to much larger venues.

The tour is often confused with the Damaged Justice Tour, which supported ...And Justice for All, or with the later Madly in Anger with the World Tour. The Wherever We May Roam Tour belongs specifically to the Black Album era and lasted about 14 months.
