The Shit Hits the Sheds Tour (also known as the Summer Shit Tour) was the eighth concert tour by the American Heavy Metal band Metallica, which took place in 1994. The band played in 51 shows in North America, including a concert in Woodstock '94, which had an attendance of over 350,000 people. This is tour is also known for the debut of the song "The God That Failed". On the last date of the tour in Miami, famed lead singer of Judas Priest, Rob Halford, sang guest vocals on stage for a performance of "Rapid Fire" from his band's 1980 British Steel. This was the last tour that Metallica played before tuning down to Eb standard, due to James Hetfield's deteriorating vocals from the recent large-scale tour in support of Metallica, commonly known as the Black Album.

Personnel

• Kirk Hammett- Lead Guitar
• Jason Newsted- Bass, Backing Vocals
• Lars Ulrich- Drums

Supporting Acts

• Danzig
• Suicidal Tendencies (Their line up would feature future Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, who would join the band nine years later)
• Candlebox
• Fight

Alice in Chains was scheduled to be on the bill, but was forced to cancel last minute due to vocalist Layne Staley's drug addiction. Candlebox would be recruited to replace them on the bill. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell joined Metallica on stage to play "For Whom The Bell Tolls" during the August 9, 1994 date in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Before Candlebox was picked up to be the one of the supporting acts, The Offspring (whose breakthrough album Smash had just been released) was reportedly offered to replace Alice in Chains on this tour, but declined as well, as they wanted to continue playing in clubs.
