"Search and Destroy" is a song by American rock band the Stooges, recorded for the group's third album Raw Power (1973). Lead singer Iggy Pop said that the title was derived from a column heading in a Time article about the Vietnam War.[2] In 1997, "Search and Destroy" (along with the rest of the songs on Raw Power) was remixed and remastered by Pop and Bruce Dickinson. The result was far more aggressive and stripped down than the original release, which had been mixed by David Bowie.

Influence

In a song review for AllMusic, Bill Janovitz commented on the song's influence:

With "Search and Destroy," the Stooges lay down an archetype for punk rock: [Stooges' guitarist] James Williamson blistering through a bastardized and pumped-up Keith Richards guitar riff; Ron Asheton, having been relegated from guitar to bass, pounds the instrument with ferocity, while his brother, Scott Asheton, pummels the drum set like Keith Moon – all fills and cymbals ... One can hear the influence of the song in a myriad of bands that followed: the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, Motörhead, the Dead Boys (who covered it), and Nirvana.[8]

Janovitz also notes that the song has become a popular live punk performance piece for bands such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sid Vicious, the Dictators, and KMFDM.[8]

Former Chemlab vocalist Jared Louche covered the song with The Aliens for his 1999 solo debut Covergirl.[9]

Search and Destroy — песня прото-панк-группы The Stooges, ставшая их первым синглом после выхода «Down on the Street» в 1970-м и единственным с альбома Raw Power. Песня вышла в 1973 году. Это наиболее известная песня с альбома и одна из самых популярных песен Stooges; она вошла на сборник лучших вещей Игги Попа A Million in Prizes: The Anthology. В 1997 году, как и остальные песни с альбома Raw Power, «Search and Destroy» была ремикширована и переиздана Игги Попом и Брюсом Дикинсоном; результатом стала более откровенная и агрессивная версия композиции, чем оригинальный микс Дэвида Боуи.
