George I'm not sure that it would have grabbed you in the same manner if you had heard the Metallica songs in chronological order. Your musical taste in metal has been thoroughly refined since you started a few years ago. In the *_Opeth - Blackwater Park_* video, you jokingly said: _"We should've gotten this shit first!"_ I wondered about that, and I think that the song might very well would have been lost on you, back when you heard Ghost of Perdition in stead. Likewise, I don't think that you would have have enjoyed Seek & Destroy as much, if you hadn't already heard a lot of Metallica's other songs beforehand. These are of course the interesting questions that ponder after the fact, unfortunately without having any way to ever find out =)

But they do bring it back. This also reminds me of when Ryan mentioned the changing of the groove, and how that was a thing Ryan noticed about "Spit Out the Bone" You can hear THIS in THAT.

Dave's not angry at them anymore, at least publicly, but during the Big Four tour Hetfield and Ulrich refused to interact with Mustaine, forcing them to play in the second slot as opposed to 3rd where the organizers wanted them.

Hear that unpolished NWOBHM and blues influence? So much pentatonic scale haha
Hello, seek and destroy is a great song! Kirk and that guitar solo, excellent. Metallica were in their very early twenties when they made this record. Can you guys listen to Leper Messiah, on Master of Puppets album. You guys will love it !

Some people say listen to other songs on this album, and while I really like many of them, your guys's tendency to like a "medium thrash" this is about the best you can get for that on this album. The rest of them are mostly much thrashier lol.

Good review as always. Kind sums up the way I feel about this song as well, and this album. If you listen to enough Metallica and enough Megadeth, then you can clearly hear Mustaine's influence on this album... it is unmistakable and awesome. My personal favorite on this album is Four Horsemen and it's simply a must-listen for yall right now. It really showcases the band's instrumental mastery and uncanny transitions at such a young age. I also recommend Motorbreath, Jump in the Fire, and Hit the Lights off this album. All of these are better songs than Seek and Destroy IMO. One more note. Cliff Burton. My favorite bassist ever. He anchors this band and album (anesthesia pulling teeth), along with Hetfield on the rhythm. I digress, please consider my recommendations above as I feel they represent the best of this album. Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone!

You all need to watch a year and a half n the life of Metallica. It explains a lot of there progression in there music. I think they have always been on the quest to get the songs perfect there real mastery of drawing you in with long intros and great transitions. The documentary explains how they progressed to the black album where many hardcore Metallica fans thought they sold out but they gained a larger fan based due to that album. While I listened to early Metallica I wasn't a huge fan until the black album. Which really sucked me in then I really got hooked on there earlier stuff

This is the song that got me into Metallica when I was about 7 or 8. One of my childhood friends older brother listened to metal and one day he had Seek and Destroy on and I was instantly hooked.

Should have gone with The Four Horsemen but this is a good one as well But WHERE IS CORONER, you have to do some Coroner at this point. THE technical/prog thrash band. You want riffs? Solos? Transitions? Technical stuff? They have all of it in spades. For something more mid-tempo and groovy - Semtex Revolution, Divine Step, Sirens For truly batshit crazy stuff, at which they excel - Mistress of Deception, Tunnel of Pain, Masked Jackal Just choose the name you like the most. You really can't go wrong with anything.
