*RAW TALENT* 🎵 Metallica SEEK & DESTROY

[@randysewell3199]

Lex listens to metal like she is a kid opening presents on Christmas morning. I wish I could relive my first time hearing all this, but the way people like Lex light up when hearing it is a close second!

Yeah it really isn't much of his thing, since he is very into more direct and simple beats. Like he liked "For Whom the Bell Tolls" .

Lex and Brad, I just subscribed to your channel tonight, and must have watching 15 of your videos so far. I usually don't jump on my laptop to send a note, but really felt I had to for you guys. Lex, I LOVE, LOVE your energy, your smile and watching you bounce to the music I grew up with (Guns & Roses, Metallica, ACDC in high school, Tool, Perfect Circle and Slipknot in college). It's so great to see how much you are enjoying my eras music. Brad, I am just like you, wanting to know all the lyrics and understand the meaning of all the songs I love. I totally get your stare at the screen, waiting for the next set of lyrics, while Lex has her eyes closed and is bouncing around beside/behind you. The only thing is, you shouldn't stop the video in mid-sentence, or right when the beat drops! I get it though. Keep it up both of you, awesome channel.

[@alanbrown7412]

Hi Brad, Hi Lex . Another brilliant reaction guys. Your analogy on how Metallica evolved is spot on Lex. You certainly are a metal head Lex and your enthusiasm is infectious You and Brad brighten up my day.. Looking forward to your next reaction. 👍✌️🤘

[@oberon1007]

This is first song I heard from Metallica back in 1983. I was on leave after USMC boot camp. Remember, this music was brand new and broke new ground. It was exactly what I needed at the time!!

[@fatcamel6304]

This is the reason I suggested this song, I wanted you guys to see their progression to the greatness they showed in their future albums.

[@jameslawson2663]

Lex is actually right about the finger muscle comment. As a guitarist when I first began playing I would do things like use individual fingers while driving. Use those fingers one at a time on the steering wheel. The difference that made in my playing ability as a new guitarist was undeniable. Thought it was the coolest thing that Lex picked up on that, But yeah from personal experience as a guitarist I can completely validate her incredible observation . Never was taught that and never discussed it.

[@KC-pc8ou]

You two need to get to a Metallica concert! I've seen them several times ... First in 1989 and last in 2017 at Busch Stadium ... They have never disappointed.

[@belleoftheebrawl]

I'd just like to say that if you're looking for a really sick guitar solo... Ride The Lightning by Metallica. Seriously, that solo is a whole *experience*. As well as both solos in Wherever I May Roam. \m/

You are right to this day they evolved with the times some may not like evolution but since Kill'em all till now I'm a fan and even though I wasn't a fan of St.Anger it helped them change as well as load and reload and I enjoyed them alot my opinion do all Metallica not old or new all and you'll find hundreds of gems

[@Sturmpionier]

Cliffs bass in this song is so good. From the Wah power chords after each first "Seek and Destroy" to the fillers after each subsequent. Also keeping the speed during the solo

I have been listening to metal since a very young age and I honestly wish I would’ve gotten into it later so when I heard it for the first time I could really enjoy everything it has to offer

[@tracker004]

This is indeed their first album. Still a staple of their live set (I've seen them live 7 times). A fan favorite that they demand everyone sing along with. Usually played during the end of the show/encore. Nothing like hearing 20,000 people singing "Seek and Destroy"!

[@holly8064]

"Seek and Destroy" was on "Kill 'em All", their 1st album that came out in mid 1983. I turned 8 yo that summer, but I grew up listening to Metallica. I can remember that this was one of my Mom's favorite songs off Kill. She's passed now but thinkin back, I had a pretty cool mama! Thank you Metallica!! And Brad & Lex as well for helping me relive those memories. 💕🤟

Didn’t understand the meaning at first but as time went on I started to understand what they were talking about. Don’t fall to the wrong master. Your either serve the master and hate the other or love the Savior and despise the other. Lex your ambition for metal is growing! You’ve got a lot more songs coming your way. I don’t know if you two have ventured into the realm of Anthrax Prong or Slipnot yet but those 3 bands are very talented as well. I would check them out when you can! Metals heads never die!

They used to let me sit o backnpatio and watch them skate and they would play this whole album on a boom box. Its one of my oldest memories I still retain.
