Blitzkrieg - Seek & Destroy (Metallica cover)

[@Cabeza492]

So Metallica did a cover of Blitzkrieg and Blitrkrieg did a cover of Metallica? So cool! \m/

[@effiemars_]

Same with Metallica and Motörhead, and the Ramones (well, Dee Dee Ramone was the one who covered Jump in the Fire)

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+Jevi Loko, What's cool is that during this time (1983) Metallica and Blitzkrieg sounded very similar (vocally), an if you listen to Metallica's cover of Blitzkrieg it sounds very similar to their version.

[@stubones]

@@buuzzsawtouchedme194 This vocalist sounds nothing like James.

[@GabAssbreaker]

​@@stubones Try the band Sweet Savage, thats where Hetfield got his singing style, not Blitzkrieg.

[@antananarywa]

@@GabAssbreaker I listened to Sweet Savage’s EP briefly (I don’t know them well), and I think James’s style on early demos resembles Bltizkrieg’s vocalist’s style more. Some people also say that he tried to sound like Diamond Head’s Sean Harris.

[@stavivanackerson6563]

Diamond head wants to do Phantom Lord?

[@LukasLukas333]

They did No Remorse 2 days ago. Check it out!!

Pretty awesome considering Metallica cover their songs back in the day.

Imagine knowing the biggest metal band in the world was inspired by YOUR music. Awesome cover.

[@edgaralvarado4625]

Big respect to both (early) Metallica & NWOBHM greats Blitzgrieg whom I just seen live recently & they sound as great as ever hail blitzgrieg 🤘🏻🎸

[@maleexile9053]

Yes cultured matallica fan

[@Comkill117]

That’s really cool. It kinda reminds me of the old “No Life ‘Til Leather” version.

[@spencerific93]

Kick ass cover!

[@thaenebrissss_96]

You know you did well if your idols cover your song

[@dudeguy3945]

This is awesome!! Love it. I also really love the cover of this by Testament. Also very badass!!

[@HeathenDance]

Love the laughter XD I also liked how they changed the middle fast riff a little. The leads are also cool. Approved.

[@F3502000]

Great job!!

Covers, covers everywhere!

[@markgillease8896]

Awesome!

[@analslingshot6654]

As much awesome as blitzkrieg and this cover are, I will always prefer the live version with Jason on vocals

[@pudding3108]

James: Searching! Jason: GAAAAAAAAAAH!!

[@mchavez219]

The Drumming on this version Kicks Ass!!! and when The Singer Yells Seek and Destroy!! It Sounds Awesome!!! But I like Kirk Hammett's Solo Better!! Great Cover Though!!!🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥

[@ridethelightning4364]

And we won't go away until we drink all your beer 🍻🤘.

[@HeathenDance]

I heard James saying that in "Texas 89" concert. I had the illegal CD. I lost the CD, but I still have the case. Great artwork! That's probably the fastest Metallica concert I have ever heard. Even Eye of the Beholder and Harvester of Sorrow were turned into fast songs.

[@ridethelightning4364]

[@indiopeltier9758]

Sounds sick

[@artistasonoro]

Bien guys!! El vocalista is the same ever? Great!

[@themadmattster9647]

awesome! "reclaiming" the NWOBHM back from Metallica ;)

[@felipercb3245]

Nate Russell he means Blitzkrieg transforms this song into a NWOBHM version , just like metallica made a Thrash version of "Blitzkrieg" song.

[@abigailsaoirsefinnegan]

Metallica was thrash metal until 1991........

[@styxsix6]

At first i thought this is AI until i looked at the actual date of uploaded video

[@Chevyguy-1984]

this version fucking kicks ass

[@kartikchandrasekhar4181]

That middle riff is very different. But I like this version too!

[@isherif6617]

Nooot baaad! 👍👍👍👍

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

So good to see this with Brian's so particular timber....& mandatory falsetto (I was waiting for it all song long, lol!) -besides, this version's end is insane, a bit more macabre with Brian's laughter, interesting...

[@alansmith9948]

It's great because it's not polished up modified studio magic, not better but a great version it's raw

[@archie_en]

Good

[@errolwaguespack3447]

F YES

[@blitzdiamond]

Es como una versión NWOBHM de Seek and Destroy lml

[@majormanslaughter1227]

IN EVERY SINGLE BLITZKRIEG SONG ON THIS WEBSITE WHY IS THERE ALWAYS ONE HISPANIC OR PERSON FROM ANOTHER LANGUAGE THAT COMMENTS. JUST ONE PER VIDEO

[@polle3600]

Nej nu er der to der skriver på fremmede sprog. Er det ik' fedt?

[@felipercb3245]

Sí, y el cover "Blitzkrieg " de Metallica es una versión Thrash del tema de la banda homónima.

[@felipercb3245]

Major Manslaughter and why not ?

[@HeavyRaiden]

+Major Manslaughter so what? are you racist or somenthing?

[@reinaldogoncalves615]

Esse vocal tá mais pra judas priest ki pra metálica 👍

[@xSauseBrausex]

Much better as metallica ... Blitzkrieg is the Truth !!!

[@deathintheair8453]

Stupid fuck

[@AndrewHank1]

Much better as...? Who taught you to speak like that?!^^ By the way, both versions are awesome but Metallica is the original one.

[@RacerX7611]

metallica should know that they're doing wrong! ..................... well, not with this song, but after 91......

[@ericolsen5592]

Are you just gonna ignore Hardwired? I'll cut you some slack because I see the date, but Death Magnetic was out then

[@HighOnFire1997]

@rometseldiablo Money making machine yet life requires money in order to live. Yeah cuz you don't need the money right

[@JG31392]

Those first 4 Metallica albums are pure gold. But then they betrayed the Metal community with the Black Album.

[@dethangel9082]

I Fucken dig Blitzkreig!

[@Shegolero]

Обычно Метла делает каверы хуже оригинала, тут ожидаемо -- наоборот. ))

[@napalmnathan9163]

thought I was done listening metallica

[@bigbo1764]

This is so much heavier than Metallica’s version, my lord

[@jimmisawa97]

This reminds Sting's WCW last theme song.

No way 😏

[@bretadams5010]

not a cover homie this is original.

[@christianjackson9360]

So funny! Who copied the others bands music? Seriously, we'd like to know!

[@GabAssbreaker]

its more a case of both being influenced by each other, Metallica was obviously influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands like Blitzkrieg in their early years, and then Metallica get famous and got to influence all Metal bands around the world, even the bands that were older than them. Even Motorhead did some Metallica songs.

[@christianjackson9360]

METALLICA had somehow copied other bands music, wouldn't you say? That's okay as they'd changed what was their start in actual METAL!!!

[@tubeyou1804]

if these bands were not around on the early years, i bet metallica dont know what they are singing about. after all, tbh i began to hate metallica after the black album.

[@YureK___]

they had cliff burton in the beginning, that guy had more musical talent in his pinky then almost all the other bands combined dude, don't get things twisted here

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

@@YureK___ I think you're overexaggerating there dude. Cliff was awesome but there were many better songwriters out there. Alex Webster, Steve Di Giorgio own him in every way possible.

@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 "own him in every way possible" dude now i think you are overexaggerating :D Cliff did things on that bass nobody did at that time and influenced a shit ton of people and all that only in 3 years, imagine if he didn't died so early, what great pieces of music he would have wrote. no doubt they guys you mentioned are great, i don't argue with that at all, but don't forget what impact this guy on Thrash Metal genre had back then.

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

@@YureK___ Cliff was an awesome guy and we all miss him but let's get real here. He was one of the best bassists in metal at the time but only in metal. Outside of it no way. What he did on bass was already done in jazz. His impact was massive and i wish he was alive. I started out with this band a long time ago :)
