About this song

The song is often considered one of the first heavy metal tracks and is a quintessential anthem of the counterculture movement of the 1960s. The iconic line "heavy metal thunder" is credited with popularizing the term "heavy metal" to describe a style of music. The song features a driving rhythm, powerful vocals by lead singer John Kay, and a memorable guitar riff by Michael Monarch. "Born to Be Wild" is featured in the soundtrack of the classic 1969 film "Easy Rider," further solidifying its status as a symbol of rebellion and freedom.
