Metlists, Inc. - Seek & Destroy

Seek & Destroy

Premiere: July 3rd, 1982 - Costa Mesa, CA - The Concert Factory
Last Played: December 20th, 2008 - Oakland, CA - ORACLE Arena

Total number of times played: 1,028

Notes:

Until 2005, was the only Metallica song to be played every single year of their existence (Except 2001
which of course was the only year Metallica did not play a single gig). Metallica only played
two gigs in 2005, and unfortunately Seek was not played at either show.
Demo appeared on "No Life Till Leather"
Inspired by a Diamond Head song called "Dead Reckoning"
Since the last half of the 2004 tour this has been the last song night in and night out.
Some people like this, but I personally don't like knowing what the last song is every night.
It's not that it's a bad song but it takes the mystery out of the setlist when it's always last.
One of only four songs (Creeping Death, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Master Of Puppets) to be confirmed played 1,000 times or more.
