    Hey guys. This is one of the times that my vast amount of useless knowledge comes in handy. When the released Kill 'Em All - James Hetfield was 19 (about to turn 20). Lars Urlich was 19, Kirk Hammett was 20. Cliff Burton was also 20.

      @@NandR not true. Hammett actually recorded the album with them. They used a lot of Dave's guitar work though. And continued to use a little up through their Master of Puppets album. And that's what caused so much venom towards them on Dave's part, as opposed to popular opinion, which is Dave whining for being fired.
      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. So there does still appear to be SOME bad blood.

It turned out well in some respects - the success of Megadeath - but it's no way to live your life.

      In 1982 I received a casette tape of a live show Metallica did in San Francisco. The quality was terrible, people talking and yelling. There was a vibration that caused a buzz on the tape, almost like the recorder was set on an amp.
      I wore that tape out. I couldn't get enough of it. This was like something I'd never heard before and I loved it. It wasn't until '84 before I got a copy of this album. Back then they were very, very hard to get.

    Kill 'Em All is a bit raw and unrefined and they were really wearing their influences on their sleeve. But there's no denying it's a lot of fun. I'd love to see you guys do something from Load or Reload. Very divisive albums amongst the fan base. Definitely not thrash (or even metal) but there are some fantastic hard rock songs on those albums in my humble opinion. Check out Outlaw Torn or Bleeding Me for something epic, or maybe Ain't My Bitch or Bad Seed for something a bit more fun.

    Something that I see nobody else is talking about is how Metallica would go see hard-core punk rock bands at the Mabuhay Garden in San Francisco when they were first coming up.

    So glad you guys finally got to the first Metallica album! Oddly enough Seek & Destroy is probably the slowest/tamest song on the whole album...they should have called it Fire and Lightning instead of Kill 'Em All. Love this song but both musically and thematically/lyrically, Whiplash is probably the most "this is the beginning of thrash metal" song on the album.

    Cliff was 21, James was 19, Lars was 19, and Kirk was 20 when this album came out.
    The inspiration for the lyrics depends on when the band was asked that question. Years ago, they said the song was about inner-city violence, but in more recent times they've said it's just about them rockin' with the fans (a recurring theme on that record).

    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 =)

    @Lost In Vegas @George. You mentioned chronological order and it makes me think about when I went back thru their catalog the first time. I noticed that you can hear the sound carries thru. For example after listening to "Kill "Em All" and going to "Ride the Lightning", you can hear what they are doing. Same for R.T.L going into "Puppets, and so forth (up until Load and Re-Load). 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. Plus the shit just jams!!! Love you guys. Been watching since like video 5 or 6!!

    Kill Em All was Metallica's introduction to the world. They were raw, young and full of piss and vinegar. They were tired of the "pretty boy" hair metal scene. They have evolved over time and sound nothing like this anymore, mostly because they are in their 60's now. But this was definitely what they aimed ro be and kept this fire for many years

      ​@psychomantis2881 Hair metal didn't truly arrive until the one-two punch of the US Festival in May 1983--the same month that Metallica recorded Kill 'Em All--and Quiet Riot's breakthrough with "Cum on Feel the Noize," which peaked in November of that year. Metallica had long developed their sound by then.
      There were certainly pop metal bands at the time, and Metallica had definitely heard of Motley Crue, but the genre hadn't completely taken over MTV yet, and Metallica's main musical antagonist was Van Halen.

    Even after 35 years, this is still my hands-down favorite Tallica song. James got the idea for this song from Diamond Head. It was a song called dead reckoning. If you guys dug seek, you gotta hear whiplash. Definitely my second favorite off killer all. It's pretty fuckin cool to see rap guys banging to metallica. Metallica changed my life in a very fundamental way. After I heard Metallica the first time, It completely changed the way I heard music, and looked at the world. All for the better. I'm still as diehard a fan now as I was back then. So Cheers to you guys and Cheers to the Mighty Metallica for being the Greatest Band ever!

    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!
