[blueticecho]

Damn long hairs !

[The60sfanatic]

I've yet to find a live performance of this song with an actual "live" audio track. Shame.

[johngkyneur]

AMAZING--really I mean smack is smack as it is today must have been tougher folk in the old days in the 60's hey what people??

[datadatado]

A MOMENT IN TIME. MY TIME. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE WITH ME!

[thegreenapple33]

Tengo 56 años, cuanta creatividad que había hace años , hoy en día salen pocas bandas que vayan a perdurar. años60/70 increibles !!!!!!!!

[kahnrule]

booooorrrrnnnn tooo beeeeeee wiiiilddddddd

[kathyncarolinajones]

This is not only a song to me, it's a feeling.

[ImARock3r]

That awkward moment when you realize you were born in the wrong generation

[TheLonesomeChef]

John Lennon on drums?

[greasegun49]

@TheLonesomeChef Nope. Yoko Ono.

[morearty1]

@greasegun49 she only dream she could play

[greasegun49]

@morearty1 To the best of my very limited knowledge, Yoko did nothing for John. Or anybody. Or anything. But what do we really know? Not right to knock people we don't even know, right? But yeah, she always had that "Do not disturb" look about her. The drummer here definitely bears a resemblance to Lennon, I think. Or Yoko...dreaming!

[Roddog61]

If only the drummer had a dopey hat...Oh wait, never mind...

[ohdotoh]

Mars Bonfire, paging Mars Bonfire...

[danbeatless]

[jnz2123]

[davidreams]

ooooo yeah

[penguin1950]

This brings back good memories. I was old enough to have a drivers license but to poor to to own a car so I had to 'borrow' my older sister's boyfriends cars while they were getting wasted.

Racing around in the middle of the night, in a stolen car, listening to this on the radio. Cool!

[CURIOSITYKILLEDTHE12]

it was the sixties and the world was our oyster....good to go back once in a while...still 'born to be wild' even at 59.....but have to admit...Greenday does it to me too!

[DaniLouise66]

Real feeling

[SmAlLcHiLdx]

[dustygold1958]

[JaZZnSOuLROmeO]

[qweasdman1011]

[HelloEmyy]

[TakeBackAmerica2012]

Went to the movie theater in 69 to see Easy Rider when it first came out. Awesome!!

[elyaurelio51]

lupi de stepa ...  misto piesa.

[1988Goldwinger]

Here is a trivia Question. Can you name the only three--45 RPM records ever produced in which the songs on both sides of the record eventually became the #1 single on the "BillBoard Charts." Name the song Titles, & who recorded them (Hint-Beatles, & Elvis are two)??

Answer:

1. "Hound Dog"/"Don' be Cruel"-Elvis

2. "Elenor Rigby"/"Yellow Submarine-Beatles

3. "Born to Be Wild"/"Magic Carpet Ride"-Steppenwolf

Keep this in the back of your mind--It'll come in handy some day!!

[hogiesanKenobi]

@1988Goldwinger YEP Heavy Metal  Thunder ..

[lick181]

@1988Goldwinger

I'm from Australia.

When I was a kid I had a 45 rpm single.

It was by The Beatles.

One side was "Hey Jude" the other was "Revolution".

Maybe the single wasn't released in the same format in other countries?

Surely both songs went #1 on Billboard??

[tryithere]

@1988Goldwinger I guess you just used up your day.

[Septimanien]

GAAAAAZZZZZ !!!!

[MyBayouCity]

When you type "Born to" it should automatically take you to Steppenwolf.

[rockization22]

[jmccullah]

@macksun yes they had one or two other hits.....one was Magic Carpet Ride, and I think the other less popular hit was The Pusher ( Man ).

[richboy96ful]

the best song of thr 60's, woodstock was awesome back then.

i would do it all over asgain if i could.

i listen to this and drive my harley.

[WImob420]

black sabbath did do a lot to shape heavy metal, but even they say that steppenwolf was pretty much the start of it.

[fortheloveoftunes]

109 persons listen to "Justin Bieber" .-)

[livedandletdie]

Back in the past music was made. Nowadays pop you know. So even though born in the wrong Era I really enjoy the oldies were people didn't knew of auto-tune and didn't sing songs just related to sex. It's good to be able to take these steps back in time and enjoy ourself.

[RoiceKettu]

@livedandletdie Take a trip to finnish rock festival Get to know people and have fun. I promise to you they wont make you listen Lady Gaga or anything like that. Also I have found lots of good german bands and some polish and hungarian ones.Japan has also good bands. Stuff that reminds me about this.Also I have learned to love some local middle eastern bands.So try to get to know people all over the world and listen what they listen. Be open to new music and It will suprise you.

[RoiceKettu]

@RoiceKettu Even if you dont know the lyricks

[leopili100]

[antonija1023]

[krullithehero]

great song, i love the quality of these old videos it's such a mood setter. i'm a 90's generation but i WILL carry on rock to my children! don't let pop take over!

[krullithehero]

@NSA666999 i hope you're kidding, right?

[thencaesarfalls]

@NSA666999 Ok, so let's think about this for a minute. This recording of this song was recorded in 1969, as it says in the title. This Bieber you speak of was born March 1, 1994. (I looked it up.) Now, does that tiny ounce of common sens that I know you have somewhere inside your brain see any problem with your claim? If not, if I were you, I would go find professional help.

[gadratpack]

JUST LOVE THIS SHIT

[3563kelly]

love the song, the drummer looks like he is wearing a lampshade

[no10851pc]

Far out. Dig the leather pants and belt on John Kay a la Jim Morrison. Anyone else out there listen to this song 40,000 times?

[stratocaster539]

@no10851pc this makes 40,000 and 1.

[mickeymousebiker1]

Top Forty AM stations played this one to dust. But, it was good they did. Hopper heard this on his car radio and decided to put this as the theme to Easy Rider. My fave by this band is Move Over.

[Earthlinked]

THIS SONG is where music got a completely new voice - they called it "Heavy Metal" from the line "I like smoking lightning - heavy metal thunder"!!!!!!!!!!!

[XTRAKRUNCHY]

THIS IS THE " KIND "

[osocazo]

excelente cancion y el video ni q decir

[christianbeadlefan13]

@TheBurgooKing RE: christianbeadlesfan13 This is her Mom I hope you know you are talking to a little 12 yr. old girl?!? What the hell is wrong with you?????Your the one that should keep your comments off of YouTube or better yet just dont use the computer at all! You need to get a life if that is even possible when all you can do is pick on little girls! Let me guess, I bet your on the sex offender registry or should be where you live!

[TrishaAnn1961]

I just can't stop listening to this. It is so fucking good.

[shurdi3]

first song to use the phrase Heavy Metal

[elmatapollos69]

@shurdi3 Haha. You're kidding right? Black Sabbath is pure Heavy Metal, and the pioneers of the genre.

[shurdi3]

@elmatapollos69 I'm not saying Black Sabbath aren't the pioneers of heavy metal

I'm saying that this is the song in which the PHRASE Heavy Metal

[elmatapollos69]

@shurdi3 Oh, okay men. Sorry, I misunderstood. It's just that when i say the phrase in my head it sound really diferent haha.

[Capillus]

@elmatapollos69 Yes, but this is indeed the first song that uses the PHRASE heavy metal

[elmatapollos69]

@Capillus Yes, but Dennis wasn't talking about the genre of music. He was talking about the heavy metal of the motorcicles, anyway the song it's good and I like it.

[benny1473]

[JPC4819]

Thumbs up if you're watching this in 2015

[BooeyHogue]

@crestwoodplayer96317 and the muscle to raise a joint to your lips.

[TheChele56]

Una de mis favoritas tambien, me encanta mucho esta cancion.

[harleyguywa]

i hear this song while i am riding down the road on my harley hmm should i be worried about that LOL

[Obamaistoast2012]

This was my theme song in the 80s

[Treiken44]

I'm 17 years old, i've hear Hinder version, but this is much better than the other version. But same, i like twice.

[Obamaistoast2012]

@Treiken44 Can never beat the original!

[Treiken44]

@Obamaistoast2012 Sure, but it depends. There are songs to which the successor versions or other they earn or have better pace / lyric.

An example is the song "You spin me", not just Dead or Alive is great, the others are very, very good (except for the version of "You spin my head" that I do not like. Well, that's my personal opinion, not what will the others.

[2jeremyable]

keep it real

[luvgoodmusic1]

I saw these guys in Germany back in 68 and Jimi Hendrix was next! Wow!! What a concert to see for my 1st one.....

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Great Performance, with outstanding Energy, Steppenwolf will never die as they say. Great just great performance.

[1958rane]

[Puertorico2494]

For some reason whenever I listen to this song I feel so BAD ASS O.o....I guess it's because it's such a bad ass song!!!!

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

@Puertorico2494 Who doesn't? I do too, LOL, I was Born 2 Be Wild, & maybe you were too? :)

[hiramchik]

I remember the first time I heard this song, when it just came out. We were out driving (and kinda fast!). It just fit in so well with the song! It was summertime, and our hair was flying in the wind! Every time I hear this song, my mind goes right back there!

[ghostwolf9]
