JAKARTA - Metallica made the highest debut on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in the last five years. The S & M² version of the song All Within My Hands takes No. 12.

S & M² is a historic concert on many levels. These two concerts served as the opening of the Grand Chase Center in San Francisco, reuniting Metallica and Symphony for the first time since a 1999 performance recorded on the Grammy-winning S&M album. The show also featured symphonic songs written and released since S&M's first show.

S & M² concert tickets were sold out. As many as 40 thousand fans traveled from nearly 70 countries. No wonder a number of media gave positive comments.

Rolling Stone magazine said Metallica proved that anything is possible. Variety wrote that the concert atmosphere was full of joy.
