Raven "Seek and Destroy"

[ElDeSalinas138]

uhhhh maybe its cus ive heard the OTHER seek and destroy since i was in elementary but i really prefer this

[robin7kurdo]

This is i call true heavy metal

[LaNoteRouge]

Raven is just such band that was apart...

A choice of guitars unsuited for metal (telecasters) yet giving them such a distinctive edge...

What a pleasant surprise to find this ! ! I was like 18 at the time... and it still stands in the face of time, and spit in it fiercely...

[akaaccount]

It's almost spooky that this music is older than me. I mean, when I was a little kid listening to whatever bullcrap, this was out there and I could have been enjoying it.  Damn.

[svoboda73]

let make it clear guys I listen to metal punk hardcore of diufferent kinds since more than 20 years. everyone has its taste me personally i love german thrash bands of the 80s abd many others sure. metallica? sure the first 4 I have them all, the rest is a shame. Megadeth? never liked them at all......listen to Assassin, Sodom, Nuclear Assault, Testament (still kick ass not like metallica) etc etc

[mtaygoldin]

@svoboda73 You are obviously not a musician. Every guitarist, drummer and bassist HAS to love or at least respect Megadeth.

[chocolatedead]

@svoboda73 megadeth rules dude, listen rip if you haven't;)

[Tormentor900]

@TrainingStream don't forget Praying Mantis - Thirty Pieces of Silver

[davidlovesmaggie]

@irishdude1988 they are going strong ..there is alot for you to learn where bands got their influences and inspirations..sounds like you worship radio like most music zombies...controlled by what your told...not what you learn first hand...but peace to u!

[Carnificinerius]

Metallica are still going.......And making albums like St Anger

[svoboda73]

@Carnificinerius which are pure shit

[wertyuioman]

@Carnificinerius Great albums like st anger might i add

[Hughesy16LFC]

Personally i like Metallica more than Raven, but this shits over Metallicas Seek and Destroy. Lol at that faggot calling Raven generic and shit, fucking poser.

[JesusHatesSanta]

Why do some people think that dissing metallica makes them "better metalheads", not like it's metallicas fault that other bands didn't get the attention they deserved. Anyway, great song!

[MetalUpYourAss6667]

Whoa, what the fuck is up with the Metallica hate? I love both Raven and Metallica because I like New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal! Raven is pretty underrated though, they should be way huge and more popular!

[metalbound7]

All mentioning Fagtallica go to suck Lars cock while listening their shitty music and let us enjoy True Heavy Metal!

[mtaygoldin]

@metalbound7 hahahaha well said man!!!

[gamesofor]

Metallica's greatest minions

[n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns]

Raven don't need wah wah. ;)

[becauseican66]

I would loooove to have seen Raven as big or bigger than Metallica. They deserve so much more credit.

[88krupp]

saw the se guys w/Anthrax (Neil Turben). anthrax was warm-up band.. They lit Raven up in a Large way. Raven was good at that time. Gallaghers were a perfect fit for 80's I'm sure they influenced a lot of other bands at that time

[SteveBurk]

This is so much better then Metallica's Seek n Destroy, I always thought that even back in 1983

[mricycake]

hold up so metallica stool this from raven

[mricycake]

i prefer metallicas seek and destroy than this

[juliancito96]

Saxon - Forever Free

[jeezjacob]

my AV productions teacher used to be the singer to this band. 

[Made1nGreece]

@miaoudzilla truth hurts sometimes..Shitallica even stole this title for their song..wannabe's

[redl3ss]

Am I the only one who thinks that this song around 2:20 sounds a little bit like Judas Priest's The Ripper?

[MetalOfAllOwns]

@redl3ss i know what you mean :P .. that album is sooo amazing !! i love priesttt

[debgibsonfan]

The best RAVEN album by far....all the others fail in comparison.

[Dumno7]

best riff ever

[tujungite]

Dive bomb temb bar fuck yeah

[MetalUpYourAss1118]

the intro sounds like Electric by Diamond Head. im sure you know it

[666thrashmaster]

@MetalUpYourAss1118 every band uses this type of riff welcome to hell 2 minutes to midnight curse of the pharaohs etc

[TrojanStrong23]

the intro doesnt sound like swords and tequila at all.

(if u didnt get the sarcasm your a total moron)

[dantetheemo]

i was named after this fucken band fuck yeah

[tujungite]

@dantetheemo fuck yeah that's kill

[vikingmetal663]

I still have this on vinyl from 1983, might be worth something....

[TrainingStream]

Riot - Swords and Tequila

Accept - Flash Rockin' Man

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes to Midnight

Mercyful Fate - Curse of the Pharoahs

Raven - Seek And Destroy

[irondeth2]

@TrainingStream and dio's stand up and shout.

[kruzifixxi8n]

@TrainingStream Venom - Welcome To hell

[kruzifixxi8n]

Motörhead - Overnight Sensation

[Moonkiller69]

@TrainingStream White Spirit - Midnight Chaser

[Jordanher]

@TrainingStream in the air ¡¡ AMAZING RIFF ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[wertyuioman]

@TrainingStream Megadeth - Skin o my teeth

[TrainingStream]

@wertyuioman good job, thanks man.

[punisha9211]

16000 visitor!!!

[br00talBronco2]

I have every raven album on record :)

[nholt]

Diamondhead! haha

[DiogoAlmeida95]

0:21 sounds like the second riff from the song blitzkrieg, funny that that song is on the sugestions

[develia]

interestingly, Metallica toured with Raven on a tour titles "Kill 'Em All For One"

[GoddessOfThuder]

dude i agree with lolomegadeth87 style is style you my like one you may dislike one... but you shouldn't compare em' as better or worse...

[lolomegadeth87]

THere are here some motherfucking idiots that always want to compare bands.... JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ! ! ! RAVEN IS RAVEN and METALLICA IS METALLICA.... both are great heavy metal bands... THAT's Fucking ALL ! ! !

[AGNTthrasher]

Best way to ruin the comments for a video: Mention Metallica *Sigh*

[UnarmedSnowman]

@AGNTthrasher haha yea i came into this video with the hope that metallica will not be mentioned, and of course the top comments mention them

[DrBrainDamage]

@AGNTthrasher Metallica are's the besterest, u just upset dat u r old and can't handle the uber br00tality of metallica...

[wertyuioman]

@AGNTthrasher Fuck you in every way possible sir

[AGNTthrasher]

@wertyuioman <3

[yootesa1515]

wow, iv heard this a while back and now that im hearning this again it kind of reminds me of megadeth's hook in mouth and megadeths chosen ones. what a great tune.

[vbragg100]

raven all the way.love there new album!!best yet!whats metallica doing?

[pointnozzleaway]

pretty sure these are the guys who got me hooked on....METAL !!!

[ToxikAssault]

This song is fucking insane! Heavy metal 'til death!!!!!!!

[teisoro]

i think that this shit was a metallica seek and destroy cover



[godlikeMuGeN1]

@teisoro no both of the albums were released at the same time.

[MuggerFugger665]

@teisoro u r dumb.....also this ain't shit...you'r shit...ya shit!!!

[RiCaNpRiDe215]

Is that Dave Lombardo at 1:19 ?? Holy fuck dude, I accidentally clicked on this and decided it wasnt an accident. This kicks ass

[quietriotfan1976]

That metal show needs to invite these guys on. The Gallagher bros and Wacko!, way too underrated

[becauseican66]

This IS speed metal

[MaTiMuS05Irv]

What all these bands lacked was a good vocalist. Tank, Raven, etc. they all had pretty horrendous vocalists.

[chiaromontestephen]

@MaTiMuS05Irv are you fucking deaf? you can't hear john's amazing soaring vocals throughout this song as well as the rest of this album? tank's vocalist is good too. pure heavy metal.

[biffthebassman]

Love this stuff!!!!!!!! Raven was a great metal band that influenced an entire generation of thrash/power metal bands...

[omaifakingad]

there's also Seek and destroy by Virtue.

[M3TalMan99]

at first i though this was gonna be either a cover of seek and destroy (Metallica) or an original of seek and destroy (i've never heard this song before) however instead now i have another great metal song to put on my Ipod

[arhainofulthuan]

Kinda rips off the Peter Gunn theme :)

[disturbedspike]

Idiots should shut up and enjoy the song! and yes, Raven is better than that one band who used to metal but then became MTV whores.

[chiaromontestephen]

@phenom371 go suck a dick.

[cacike29]

This is the real seek and destroy!

Raven, a cult!

[Hasselhoff2007]

Sure it's an over used riff but, no band rips each other off exactly. It's like blues scales , you listen to blues musicians and they rip off each other, oh yah check out Motorhead's No class, and ZZ Top's Tush you decide, who ripped off who, but hey that's Rock N Roll. What Punk bands don't rip off each other? Country? I think I'm gonna turn this riff around and use it in my band ... HA! .. , Just saw Raven rip it up on stage in Pdx Oregon.. god damn, what a show go see em if you can..

[umasbob]

\m/

[TheRichguitar]

sound like a blitzkrieg but still awesome song

[ACDCisNiCe]

They could be :

RavenallicA

Album could be :

Kill em all for me

And the song - Seek and destroy :D

[lemmi150570]

@ACDCisNiCe

Metallica was support act for Raven in 1983. Both albums were out at that time. Guess we´´ll never know who inspired whom.

Cheers, Joachim

[chiaromontestephen]

@lemmi150570 this shits all over gaytallica's seek and destroy. 7 minutes of bullshit. raven is the real deal.

[MrPowerfromhell]

"this shits all over gaytallica's seek and destroy. 7 minutes of bullshit. raven is the real deal."

Gaytallica?? kkkkkkkkkk, Joke?

Seek And Destroy Of Metallica is great, I know that radical underground as you do not like ;)

They say Metallica is commercial but forget that the Raven made two albums biased, I need not cite ;)

[chiaromontestephen]

@MrPowerfromhell my brother typed that comment. i love both seek and destroys. i like metallica's for the riffs and raven's for the vocals. now, that doesn't mean i dislike james's vocals or gallagher's guitar performance.

[Hughesy16LFC]

@chiaromontestephen Wats wrong with Metallica's Seek and Destroy? I like both personally. I also like Search and Destroy by R.A.F.

[chiaromontestephen]

@Hughesy16LFC my bro typed that comment.

[TheStripcell]

@chiaromontestephen oh fuck yeah, fucking hate metalica..oh shit im offending half of youtube,,

[HellsAngel05]

@chiaromontestephen what the hell are you talking about, man? Seek and Destroy by Metallica was very great too. That whole album, Kill em all, was awesome. These guys have as much awesome metal talent as Metallica once did back in the 80s

[MuggerFugger665]

@chiaromontestephen fuck you asshole....when I see you make better music than metallica then the will be gaytallica....truth is that will never happen :)

[rocafella142]

@chiaromontestephen You can get 14 thumbs up in this video. But if you said that in public or in a metal forum you might get assassinated.

[skiiddo]

@chiaromontestephen

early metallica is better than raven

raven is better than new metallica/gaytallica

thrash is and always will be better than NWOBHM, thats just the way it is

[666thrashmaster]

@skiiddo thats your opinion though but come on you got to admit NWOBHM is still fucking awesome and thrash you got to give them both lots and lots of credit for making good music personally i like them both the same its hard to choose i like the speed of thrash but then theres the originaltty of new wave oh well sorry for ranting

[KickAss667]

@skiiddo

but that's wrong

Early metallica while good can't touch Raven, Raven just has a certain excitement in there songs that mehtallica can't match

[MrTeddy696]

@chiaromontestephen Dont blame other musicans ! ...

[ArcanineRules250]

@chiaromontestephen Fuck you!

[miaoudzilla]

@chiaromontestephen

Why the fuck do you insult metallica you douchebag?

[lynchthetrolls34]

@chiaromontestephen if you say so

[Vampiric59]

@chiaromontestephen you elitist shit, metallica was one of the first thrash metal bands

[wrabit79]

@Vampiric59 i'm a metallica fan..but sorry to tell you raven came before metallica

[Vampiric59]

@wrabit79 o ok then sry xP

[0ZAZU]

@chiaromontestephen this is the first time i heard this song and i think it's amazing

[liznay100]

this song is espectacular

[chiefmech23]

simple, real simple, this is hard rock at its best and I am glad to say I wore this album out back in the 80's when I grew up, venom too, long live the best RAVEN.

[CHRICAGO]

A VERY IMPORTANT SONG , IN THE DAWN OF HEAVY METAL IN CHILE. WHEN METAL BANDS STARTED IN DICTATORSHIP, MANY NEW BANDS HAD THIS SONG AS STAPLE IN THEIR LIVE SHOWS!.THANKS RAVEN!!!-CHILE METALHEADS AND BANDS SALUTE YOU!

[cryptblood1986]

sounds like accept's flash rockin man what a kick ass song

[panagiotis444444]

@cryptblood1986 riot swords and tequila is the first ...not from accept

[RiCaNpRiDe215]

@cryptblood1986 there's a whole video that compares the following

Mercyful Fate- Curse of the Pharoahs

Riot- Swords and Tequila

Iron Maiden- 2 Minutes to Midnight

The one you mentioned

and this song

They all have similar riffs

you can also add

Riot-Run For Your Life (Thundersteel Album)

to that list

[grathapilot]

that intro riff/bassline is one of the best ever IMO

[NoLifetilDeth]

I was hoping this was a cover =[

[MissWeird]

sounds a lot like welcome to hell :S

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@MissWeird is that bad?

[MissWeird]

@dakotamanomgwtf yea kinda that song sucks too

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@MissWeird i like it

[SpreadtheDisease555]

\m./

[XysmicExecration]

This guys certainly have find their way into my heart with their music ! Their already one of my utmost favourites in Heavy metal. Sadly their records aren't as easy to get as the major names of the genre.

[robinzhooded]

@XysmicExecration This cd neat reissue is only 14.99$ on gemm dot com, cheapest I've seen it anywhere. I just paid 35.99$ for a copy but that is the original roadrunner slimline version which was made in japan in 1985.

[doomslayer133]

Kickass song
