==Tour and Burton's death==
Metallica opted for extensive touring instead of releasing a single or video to promote the album.<ref name="Master Piece">{{cite journal|last=Wall|first=Mick|title=Master Piece|journal=[[Guitar World]]|date=January 2006|pages=52–61, 104–110|issn=1045-6295}}</ref> The [[Damage, Inc. Tour]] began in March 1986, and the band spent March to August touring as the opening act for [[Ozzy Osbourne]] in the United States, the first tour Metallica played to arena-sized audiences.<ref name="Guitar Gods"/> During sound checks, the group played riffs from Osbourne's previous band [[Black Sabbath]], which Osbourne perceived as mockery.  Ulrich, however, stated that Metallica was honored to play with Osbourne, who treated the band well on the tour.<ref name="SPIN"/> Metallica was noted by the media for their excessive drinking habit while touring and earned the nickname "Alcoholica".<ref name="Winwood"/> The band members occasionally even wore satirical T-shirts reading "Alcoholica/Drank 'Em All".<ref name="SPIN"/>

The band usually played a 45-minute set often followed by an encore. According to Ulrich, the audiences in bigger cities were already familiar with Metallica's music, unlike in the smaller towns they've visited. "In the B-markets, people really don't know what we're all about. But after 45 or 50 minutes we can tell we've won them over. And fans who come to hear Ozzy go home liking Metallica."<ref>{{cite book|last=Eddy|first=Chuck|author-link=Chuck Eddy|title=Rock and Roll Always Forgets: A Quarter Century of Music Criticism|year=2011|publisher=Duke University Press|page=102}}</ref> Metallica won over Osbourne's fans and slowly began to establish a mainstream following.<ref>{{cite book|last=Harrison|first=Thomas|title=Music of the 1980s|year=2011|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-0-313-36599-7|page=59}}</ref> Hetfield broke his wrist in a mid-tour skateboarding accident, and guitar technician [[John Marshall (guitarist)|John Marshall]] played rhythm guitar on several dates.<ref>{{cite book|last=Popoff|first=Martin|title=Metallica: The Complete Illustrated History|date=2013|publisher=Voyageur Press|isbn=978-0-7603-4482-8|page=69}}</ref>

The European leg of the tour commenced in September, with Anthrax as the supporting band. The morning after a performance on September 26 in [[Stockholm]], the band's bus rolled off the road, and Burton was thrown through a window and killed instantly. The driver claimed he hit a patch of [[black ice]], but others believed he was either drunk or fell asleep at the wheel.  The driver was charged with manslaughter but was not convicted.<ref name="Master Piece"/> The band returned to San Francisco and hired [[Flotsam and Jetsam (band)|Flotsam and Jetsam]] bassist [[Jason Newsted]] to replace Burton.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ray|first=Michael|title=Disco, Punk, New Wave, Heavy Metal, and More: Music in the 1970s and 1980s|year=2013|publisher=[[Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.]]|page=53}}</ref> Many of the songs that appeared on the band's next album, ''...And Justice for All'', were composed during Burton's career with the band.<ref name="Burton">{{cite book|last=McIver|first=Joel|title=To Live Is to Die: The Life and Death of Metallica's Cliff Burton|year=2009|publisher=Jawbone Press|isbn=978-1-906002-24-4|pages=159–160, 165, 226}}</ref>
