I have a really stupid story about this song. My BF in high school and I went to see Metallica live in '92. (We were both 16.) Her dad had bought the tickets for her birthday, which turned out to be 20th row on Kirk's side. Best seats I ever had for a concert. It was maybe an hour in, they played this song. 20 minutes later, they're doing "Master of Puppets", this guy in the row ahead of us was drunk, high, everything else, starts screaming the chorus for "Seek & Destroy". A guy a few seats away yelled, "Shut the fuck up, you drunk asshole! They sang that 20 minutes ago!". It became a joke with my and my friend. For ages, we'd start randomly shouting "Seek & Destroy" lyrics over any other song we heard playing and laugh like morons. Ah, those were the days. Times like that, I miss high school.

Next second, they rip into the opening guitar riff for S&D and I lost my shit laughing. Sans Kirk's guitar sounding a little off, they still put on a great show. "One" was the most memorable both times tho. They did do some cool "firefly" type light thing, which circled around them onstage when they played "Moth Into Flame". I think the Kansas City show was the only one they used it at, cause the "firefly" tech was local. Or so James said before they started the song.

They really weren't that violent. The only violent person in the band was their first lead guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went off to form Megadeth), whom was kicked out because he would get very abusive and physical when he drank. The rest of the band just got very silly and goofed around a lot. They were never really a drug band as much as they were a beer band. They had a nickname at this time; "Alcoholica". This entire album was essentially recorded while they were drunk teenagers. In reality, these guys weren't ones to start fights, but rather ones to call out the posers and party.

Your prediction might be wrong, but it SHOULD be spot on, if everything were right with the world!

THIS is where it all began! Kill Em All was their first album and it changed EVERYTHING for underground Metal. It single-handedly popularised Thrash Metal. Listen to the first song off the album Hit The Lights! Imagine being a kid in 1983 who listened to Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue on the radio. Then you found this album with a bloody hammer on it called "Kill Em All", and then placed the needle on the first track! That song was so ahead of its time and it opened up the world to Thrash Metal! The band were aged 19-20 when they recorded this album! James Hetfield's vocals definitely sound younger than later songs!

Dave didn't really write this song on the album, it was "Phantom Lord" "The Forse horsemen" "Jump In The Fire" and "Metal Militia", maybe he contributed the vast majority musically, but to say that he did everything Kill 'Em All, it is totally false, for example in the Ride The Lightning has its two contributions, obviously the discography and the members themselves, they knew that they would act in a very idiotic way if all the music of said two albums had it in their name without giving input Dave, so you can't really say and officially state that Dave made the entire Kill 'Em All album, it's impossible for just one member to make an entire 9-track head-to-toe album, nor the Ride The Lightning did so much.

The way they transition into a completely different, and equally awesome riff and tempo will always be one of my favorite things about the way Metallica plays. I've always approached listening to their music like listening to a symphony, only a bit more aggressive. I think that Bach and Beethoven would enjoy their music if they were around today.

The Four Horsemen from the same album is one of Metallica's 5 best songs, easily.

I am so overwhelmingly thrilled to see you enjoying the jams I grew up with as a young child this means a lot as this was one of my first real songs I learned to play (-solos, I was like 13 and just started).

Seek and destroy the solo, is my favorite Metallica solo ever. I love it

One of my favorite Metallica songs, if not my favorite, its so hard to choose, but its actually an instrumental song... off Master of Puppets, called Orion... it is pure musical genius... the song builds slowly, showcasing everyone in the bands instrumental prowess... it builds, and builds, and then comes crashing down, and then it builds again... it is beautiful and powerful...

Yes !!! Thank you Jojo.

you have to watch them live - look up videos - I saw them back in 91 and they blew guns ’n’ roses off the stage and they played for about 3 hours - the entire stadium was going mental and singing when they asked us - thunderous

Seek and and Destroy has one of the most iconic guitar riffs in metal along with Cowboys from Hell- Pantera, raining Blood- Slayer, Breaking the Law- Judas Priest, and Run for the Hills-Iron maiden.

lol we would be head banging in are car with our friends jamming this. or this is what you listened to on way to a concert to get pumped up.

The live version from Live Shit: Binge & Purge is epic. Fun fact: The original album title was "Metal Up Your Ass", the album art was a knife being thrust out of a toilet. You can still find the shirts. Johnny Z and his fledgling Megaforce Records said "hey guys, not sure we can get this into stores" so they're like "okay, we're changing to Kill 'Em All and the artwork is a 10# sledge hammer and blood".

When the drums come in at the beginning is the second I got in to Metallica and have played guitar everyday since

They're approach to the crowd was "we're gonna kick your ass with our music". That's the drive behind this song.

One of my all time favorite saw them on this album and others

Metallica has been killing it for decades... I first heard them in 1985... fight fire with fire, off the Ride the Lightning album... been hooked ever since 😎

Hey fun fact did you know that there first album Kill Em’ All was recorded out in where I live back in 1983, out in Rochester NY

All their big songs, that may take a while but it will be fun!

The opening riff to this song is what got me hooked on Metallica. I was 11 or 12 at the time, circa 1987-88. Seek and Destroy will always be a special song for me. Changed my life, been a metalhead ever since.

I second Hyp3r45's. Call for "WELCOME HOME SANITARIUM". As for "SEEK and destroy" in 1992 Orlando Fl this song caused $45,000+ in damages to the orlando arena. The band wrote a check on the spot for more and told the city have a nice day. The city told them you're welcome here anytime. We get some of their most lit shows every tour

For whom the bell tolls, Day on the green 1985--You'll see a Hell of a good bassist.

The first Metallica song I ever heard way back maybe in 1985! Still holds a place in my heart! A lot of metal music comes across as us metal heads being violent mean people. But most are not. They tend to not take crap. Lol. Metal like rap gets judged by “society” so to speak. I’ve always felt they have a lot in common. I think both are just “rebellious” genres. I think if the rap world and the metal world joined forces the world would be a different place. Lol. Keep them coming young man! I’m loving your channel! I also love your dads!

Im a metalhead from 80"s and this brings a smile to my face! Our neighborhood not far from Southside of Chi had many different nationalilty s but only one black kid named Sugarbear ( wasn't a metalhead) . Then we had a new black kid Sean move in from Chi (79th & Halsted terror town ) . We first thought it was going to be trouble but it turned out he was a full blown METALHEAD! We were floored LOL ! Became a brother to all of us ! He also played AD&D ! Man we had a unique and strange neighborhood! Great times !

Back in 1986 I'll listened to this on a weekend late at night with my metal head friends & rarely get into it with some punks real Punks those with the spike hair and black nails but most of the time will right before or after getting out of work that played it in my cassette player

The band is actually really nice and good people. James Hatfield the lead singer is the coolest dude you'll ever meet

I think it's cool as he'll that you can appreciate a song from 1983 and jam with it. Keep it up man

I love the the hell out of your style man. Don't ever change. And yes I participated in many mosh pits and took my licks like man. Would never change a thing. An amazing time in history to be alive. I got some song suggestions coming for you soon. For now, try some Dream Theater: Pull Me Under.

I actually thought your pancake analogy was really good! And no Metallica is not really violent band. Even live everybody make sure everybody looks out for each other. That's another thing, you need to do a reaction to a live song. Live is where they really really shine
