About this song

"Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf was released in 1968 as part of their debut album. 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.
