Official Metallica.com footage from Metallica's November 8, 2008 concert in Moline, Illinois can be viewed here. The video includes footage of the "Blackened" backstage jam session and the "Wherever I May Roam" performance.
Metallica's new album, "Death Magnetic", was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) just six weeks after its release on September 12 by Warner Bros. Records.
"
Death Magnetic" debuted atop The Billboard 200 chart,
Metallica's fifth consecutive album to do so, making them the only band in chart history to have five albums debut at No. 1. It breaks the band's tie with
The Beatles,
U2, and the
Dave Matthews Band, all of whom have four No. 1 album debuts. "
Death Magnetic" remained at No. 1 for three consecutive weeks.
In addition to debuting at Number 1 atop Billboard's Rock, Alternative, Hard, and Internet album charts in the U.S., the album racked up No. 1 chart positions in 31 foreign countries, including the U.K., Canada, and Australia, and Top 3 chart slots in seven more, including Japan.
