James Hetfield says Metallica asked Turnstile to go on tour, and the band turned them down.

Speaking on his SiriusXM show Riff Life, Hetfield said: "We wanted to get them on tour, and they said no. They're doing good on their own already." He laughed it off and kept praising them: "Man, what a vibe they bring." He added that Metallica have hung out with the band, calling them "super cool guys, super fun." Hetfield did not say when the offer was made. Turnstile drew around 60,000 people to their free benefit show near the Washington Monument last Saturday, and Metallica's 2027 North American stadium run has Limp Bizkit as support.
