"Seek & Destroy" is the ninth track on the album. The song has been frequently played in concerts over the years since its live debut in 1982 and has been Metallica's closing song since the Madly in Anger with the World Tour. During the documentary film about Metallica, Some Kind of Monster, the song is used when footage of the band down the years is shown highlighting the progression in the band's appearance and sound over time. Also in the documentary the song was often used in the auditions for Newsted's replacement. In the book Metallica: This Monster Lives one of the film's directors said how initially they wanted to alter the footage so it flowed smoothly but soon noticed the value of showing the alteration in the band in each piece of footage. This was also the theme song of former WCW and current TNA wrestler Sting and AAA wrestler Cibernetico. In Sting's case, the song was a live recording from Woodstock '99 which would be included on the 1999 compilation WCW Mayhem: The Music. New York Mets pitcher John Maine takes the mound to "Seek & Destroy." Also, the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League also use the song as their entrance theme during home games. "Seek & Destroy" was covered by Chuck Billy, Jake E. Lee, Jimmy Bain, and Aynsley Dunbar for the album Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica. The song has also been covered by thrash metal band Testament and Acid Drinkers and instrumentally by Freaklabel as part of a tribute medley. Apocalyptica, and previously Pantera, cover it live. Blackened death metal band Screaming Carcass also started out covering the song.
