This is a fabulous version of Born to be Wild. The original Steppenwolf version is also fantastic. The difference is people still remember Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin so covering Smoke on the Water or Stairway to Heaven would be a little crass. The Cult are keeping Steppenwolf alive here, check out the Pusher or Magic Carpet Ride
Maybe Ian Not Making The Notes Alive... But Ian Is Rock And Roll In All Sense Of The Word!!! I saw The Cult Live And Ian Is God On Stage, PowerFull Stage Present!
I remember watching The Cult do born to be wild here in Canada on tv Molson Canadian Rocks presents...it was awesome at theend of the song Ian crammed his mic stand into a tv on stage it was an amazing version. If anyone has it please post!!!
Damn you hear how low it sounds? Listen to the bass guitar, its jus rumbling....Sounds like its tuned down to drop d.....Sounds kill though!!!! Kick ass band......
a definite improvement over the studio version...but we should all know better: you shouldn't record a cover of "Born to be wild" just like you shouldn't record a cover of "Smoke on the Water", "Stairway to Heaven", etc, etc...those are CLASSICS, and they don't need to be re-recorded...

There's a better live version on youtube search for:
"The Cult Born to be wild Jonathon Ross 1989." Needs to be turned up a bit, but that's what all Cult deserves.
