Metallica — Seek & Destroy

The story behind

Metallica recorded Seek & Destroy in 1983, in a studio in Rochester, New York. It was the first song they recorded in a studio, before going on tour. The song is based on an idea of killing, but not literally. On a tour, James Hetfield joked saying it was about hunting, something that was taken as a metaphor. The piece has three solos at the beginning, which come from a song by Saxon called Princess of the Night, and a final solo that Metallica added. It is also said to have influenced Dead Reckoning by Diamond Head. At minute 3:47 or 3:48, there is a guitar error, something that Kirk Hammett mentioned in an interview. The song was released on the album Kill 'Em All, and later on a demo disc called No Life 'til Leather. ↓ Skip to chords
