  • FUCK YEAH BLUE OYSTER CULT!

  • @grimaper Blue Oyster Cult Rocks. This song has a lot to say. Listen Carefully.

  • @iwantarocknroll yeah man I'll listen to the lyrics more carefully.

  • In prison, singing is gay, so they invented rap.

  • @ion010101

    Good music is good music no matter what genre. I wish people would forget about genres and just listen to good music.

  • @centipede70 Have you ever watched a movie and noticed that during action scenes, action music plays, during romantic scenes, romantic music plays, during suspense, suspense music plays? Music speaks by the way it is composed. Sometimes I can listen to a classical piece and I can tell that the composer was thinking about mountains. What if there was a movie scene that was about crude, dumb ugliness. That's what rap sounds like. The aesthetic of the prison yard, of thugs. Don't you hear it?

  • @ion010101 You obviously only listen to the radio rap.

  • @Jellicoid That's the retort I always get, but no one has ever pointed out this "other rap". Somehow it has eluded everyone. Where is it?

  • @ion010101 Listen to 'Sunday Seance' by Blockhead. Then tell me all rap music is stupid and ugly again. Admittedly this is rap without the rapping but I think my point still stands.

  • @Jellicoid Rap did not exist when this song came out, so it is definitely not "rap without the rapping". This song is actually being sung, not rhymed without rhythm or reason, just needlessly interspersed with profanity.

  • @AdmiralCSN I'm not even talking about this song, I was referring to a song called 'Sunday Seance' by a Hip Hop artist called Blockhead. FYI; not all rap is needlessly interspersed with profanity. Much of the rap I listen to has either a strong political message, or tells an interesting story through the use of clever wordplay. Or like 'Sunday Seance' - has an emotional impact on the listener without any lyrics at all.

  • @Jellicoid here we go again please take your rap talk to a rap video it has zero meaning here in any shape , way , or form period .

  • @jimischild13 Oh, is my talking about music in the comments of a music video annoying you? So sorry...

  • @AdmiralCSN Oh, and Rap was around (1970's) ten years before Blue Oyster Cult released this song (1981). You have no idea what you're even talking about dude.

  • @centipede70 Thank You for not being a shallow minded, computer tough guy opinionated, useless waste of flesh and bones duchebag like some of these other fools. Good music is good music you have to open your mind to take the message being sent. If you don't like the message at least listen to the rhythm and how instruments are being used.

  • @ion010101  well, in prison everyones gay because they fuck eachother in the showers

  • @allwalledup No. Sociopaths don't have a sense of boundaries between what normal people call taste and tasteless. This is why sociopaths have to constantly be on their guard, because they genuinely do not see the difference between something that is normal and something that is morbid - so they can easily slip up and say something which seems generic to them, but which is horrifying to normal people. The idea of raping another man isn't hetero or homo to the sociopath, it's just predatory, crude

  • great tune

  • Six people did not fight in the Psychic Wars.

  • Wow. I loved BOC back then. Still love 'em! I remember this song, 'black blade' and 'godzilla' were part of our Friday night, all night 'Dungeons and Dragons' games...

  • @tw12a34nkl that's fucking awesome!

    

  • Dislikers LOSE the psychic war !!

  • Can see why D Boon likes BOC.

  • Anybody else remember the old Heavy Metal magazine? That shit warped my brain when I was a kid lol. My all time favorite is still Ranxerox...Too bad he wasn't in the film.

  • @Jonwood74 I remember Ranxerox very fondly. I think I still have a box full of old issues of that mag upstairs. I might have to look, just for nostalgia.

  • @Jonwood74 Ranx Rulz man.

  • This song is so damn cool

  • the 6 dislikes are minions of the devil -__-

  • My power infests all times, all galaxies, all dimensions. But many still seek me out; a green jewel they must posses. But see how I destroy their lives!

  • @NukeChinks You high?

  • Fantastic song! i'll soon make a Starchaser Legend of Orin/Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind/Akira mash-up music video to this.

  • Love the movie and music but if you ever want to find a good movie like it look for American Pop. But unfortunatly I wasn't impressed with Heavy Metal 2000 =(

  • @EnTuroAdun

    Well here are some similar animated movies to Heavy Metal you might enjoy: Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Fire and Ice, Wizards, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star, Starchaser Legend of Orin, Princess Mononoke, Fantastic Planet, Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D 1 & 2, South Park The Movie, Fritz The Cat, Robot Carnival, Heavy Traffic, Urotsukidoji Legend of the Overfiend, Rock and Rule, Dante's Inferno, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (a.k.a. Warriors of the Wind)

  • @Johnlindsey289 You have good taste in movies. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Johnlindsey289 Lol. I have seen about three-fourths of the movies on both your lists. Have you seen Watership Down? They don't make movies like this anymore.

  • i love this movie and the soundtrack!! Classic!!!

  • I saw this movie on the fist night I ever got stoned...I was 12, and my cousin Lyle got me LIT on some good East TN monkey paw and took me to see Heavy Metal...In America, that counts as a rite of passage...

  • I am 17 years old, and I can't help but appreciate a lot of the comments on here. To be honest, my generation disappoints me. Bands like Blue Oyster Cult represent true talent, true dedication to making lyrical, melodic music. "Paragons" of my generation, such as... -shudder- Justin Bieber, and friends, represent the ability to milk a market and the tone-deafness of the majority of his audience. This, right here, is real music. Always has been, always was, always will be.

  • @FiReFoXx8383 Well said. -claps-

  • our generation depends on iphones and facebook...sheeples, baaaaahh baaaaah

  • @FiReFoXx8383 I bet your not actually 17, just pretending to be... Shut up.

  • @temptstress666 what crawled up your ass and died ?! i just turn 18 last week and to be honest i woul have never found these songs if it hadnt been for south park but that doesnt mean that now i have found them they are not my favorite.. Dont be hatin on my generation!

  • @NotAG4yName the reason people hate on our generation is because beyond our lack of taste in music, and our incessant need for everything to be 3D constant action, we are annoying and apathetic. Everyone is trying to be unique, but is comforming to that attempt. but you know what? that doesn't even matter. good music and good movies transcend all genres and all time. This movie will stand the test of time.

    PS: doesn't matter how you found it all that matters is that you did.

  • @OriginalOrphan  haha you are righ indeed good call comrade

  • @NotAG4yName Hey buddy im 19

  • @temptstress666 so why do you find it so hard to believe someone who says hes 17?

  • @NotAG4yName Because I think people say that just to support their belief

  • @temptstress666 well that dosnt explain much unless you say what that belief is

  • @FiReFoXx8383 there was plenty of justin bieber esque crap in the 1970's. shitty music is forgotten.

  • I have been a BOC fan for years. When this movie came out I just landed in Japan back in 1981, so I went and saw this awesome movie with a killer soundtrack. I went out & bought it immediately. There is not one bad song on this movie or CD, they had the CD in Japan out before the states, usually 6mo-1 yr later before they would receive the CD. Anyway this is one of my favorites hands down from BOC.

  • My one and only complaint about this soundtrack is that it DOESN'T contain another song that BOC had written specifically for it: "Heavy Metal (The Black And Silver)" which, like this song, also appeared on the Fire Of Unknown Origin album. Then we would have had THREE songs titled "Heavy Metal" on this soundtrack. How cool would that have been?! :)

  • DON'T LET THESE SHAKES GO OOooOOOONNNNN...

    This song = Eric Bloom's greatest vocal performance ever.

  • BOC

  • Early 1980s. Me and my buddies driving in my piece of crap Datsun B-210. I have a mix tape of this amazing album I bought on a whim. This song plays and all the talk stops. Dudes look at me and I'm driving and I play the drums with my fists on the dashboard. They all crack up. It was a moment, fer shur.

  • @utonic76 Dude Datsuns were awesome.

  • Veteran of the Psychic Wars: All war is over language that includes culture, education, heritage, law, leadership, and held values. The unadroit people believe the arms are the ends of war, and the arms are a child's point of view of the World; the weapons of war comes out of our language, and that is the source of our conflicts--all value comes from language, and never has been different for humanity that in its definition reads and writes. I am a veteran of a 1000-Psychic-Wars.

  • I only found this song last month but it takes me back to my childhood playing Morrowind.

  • @KaiHonsou

    Amen

  • "...All the scars are on the inside....I'm not sure that there's anything left of me..."

  • Makes me think of some tattered, loner bad-ass with lightning and rocks floating around him in the middle of a wasteland.

  • @ac120479 That Elric of Melnibone and his sword to the a tee in which the song was based upon.

  • Thanks, kids, nice to have my generation venerated for something as cool as BOC.

  • @sfjohns67 yea too bad its only about one percent of us nowadays that appreciate the older generations way more then our own

  • fucking brilliant!

  • Don't be afraid to say this is better than "Don't Fear the Reaper"... It really is. Just accept it. "...Reaper"'s cool, but this?.... C'mon!!

  • I remember my very first exposure to this awesome movie quite vividly. I was 4 and it was around 2 a.m. in the late, hot summer of 1983 when my older brother had awakened me from a deep, peaceful sleep to say "Hey! Wake up man! You've really got to see this shit dude!" So i reluctantly got out of bed, pissed at him for waking me up like that, and groggily followed him into the dark living room to see what he was talking about, and, not long afterward, fully forgave him for disturbing my sleep.

  • @TheAltair4 no shit you we

  • @TheAltair4

    Amazing you saw this movie at age 4! was it your first exposure to tits, asses and pubic hair despite being animated? i mean you learned the differences between boys and girls at that age thanks to that movie as early sex education. Taarna was definitely love at first sight for you as she was your first toon crush with Amalthea, Teela, Adora, Cheetara, Scarlett, Sorceress, the other She-Ra chicks, or whatever hotties turned you on at that age.

  • @Johnlindsey289 I think the very first naked chick i ever saw in a movie was in The Shining, actually, but i already knew the difference between male and female anatomy beforehand thanks to my brother who explained it all to me and even showed me pictures of naked chicks in some of the playboy magazines he had hidden away in his room. Taarna will always be my favorite hot animated warrior chick.

  • @TheAltair4

    Cheetara is second for you in hot animated warrior chicks eh?

  • @Johnlindsey289 Yes, Cheetara is another one of my favorite sexy warrior chicks. Teegra and She-Ra are smokin too.

  • @TheAltair4

    there's also Catwoman from Batman TAS who was a sexy animated heroine or anti-hero of sorts.

  • @Johnlindsey289 your 1st exposure to tits,asses and pubic hair comes with birth

  • @TheAltair4

    That story is heartwarming man

    I was baked as fuck my first time i saw it :D

  • Comment removed

  • @TheAltair4 yes scored to it 5 weeks in a row!!

  • wow, what a gnarly song.

  • This has become my favorite song on the soundtrack. I love the deep drum sound.

  • Great movie,Great song,Last good Album BOC did

  • great

  • I wasnt born yet when this came out but I saw it years later & I still love it

  • I feel sorry for kids these days they didn t have what we hade, They may have more but we had honest to goodness rightous music to party with. Going through Highschool was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Chainsaw019 Hell man, we got this. Im a sophomore and me and my friends listen to 80's metal all the time. Judas Priest, Slayer, Blue Oyster, Iron maiden, Devo, You name it.

  • this song kicks so much ass !

  • This is the best Blue Öyster Cult song ever!!!

  • Wow what a great song

  • This was good animation and good music but the producers totally mismatched the music to the scenes. The music did not go with the activity being portrayed. But the film stands because both animation and music were well done.

  • from what story is this?

  • @kalibak00 Elric of meniboné

  • @Ralle2000 Why the random reference to Elric?

  • @kalibak00 Its at the very beginning of the Harry Canyon story

  • @kalibak00  This song plays while they are digging up the Lochnar in the Harry Canyon story.

  • Damn this is one of my favorite songs of all time. Blue Oyster cult is virtually peerless as a band period.

  • Great mag from the late 70s.Gotta dig out my old copys

  • I am a proud veteran of those psychic wars and still hold this to be one of my all time fave movies. Loved the movie, the magazine, and the soundtrack. This made the 80's much more worthwhile.  Wish the world was a bit more like it used to be....

  • This song sounds like war in the future like in 2030 or something or like Terminator.

  • Now this is music !

  • First time my buddies and I listened to this powerhouse double album set we were doing shots of Jose Cuervo and smoking bowls of Mexican red hair tops. Add to that a few old-fashioned black lights and posters, a few strobe lights, and we had a trip that I'm not sure some of us ever returned from...

  • @tyme4mike Damn, I wish I had been hanging out with you guys ... yall know how to party.

  • this is heavy metal???

  • Anyone thinks this movie and magazine inspired The Fifth Element and Avatar? James Cameron and Luc Besson are big fans of this movie and the comics. Avatar does have similarites with the comics and 1981 movie with Sci-fi fantasy elements, weird monsters, sexy alien gals, alien tits, a sex scene, being a warrior in a new world, exotic surrealism, feats of strength etc. the works and also appeals to the former adolescent mind of every guy.

  • loved the mag and the movie. had all the issues that appeared in the movie. yes i had the entire Den series. by the way the corvette didn`t go any where after it laned in the mag.

  • @cheflbi sorry the corvette landed

  • @cheflbi

    That's awesome. I've been a fan of the movie since i was 11 when it aired on TBS on a friday night then when i was 14 in 1996 when i bought the movie. I also subscribed to the magazine when i was 17 in 1999.

  • love it; love it, love it.......

  • friggin amazing magazine, movie, band, and song!

  • cool ass intro

  • Kick ass song and movie.

  • fucking great song,,i was born in 84' but im telling u im in the wrong generation,,my friends think im a weirdo cuz i like all the shit from back in the dayzz,,wutever, i just kno wuts up 8)

  • I never realized how beautiful the opening to this song was.

  • this song good

  • I don't know that anyone will ever recreate the awesome combination of story line, music, and animation in Heavy Metal. This movie stands the test of time!

  • You are so right, even now almost 30 years later I remember seeing it at a drive-in while chuggin Boones Farm wine

  • @x170063 amen but also had bingers and fungi at it the 1st time i saw it

  • @hns123192

    I agree! well the closet cartoon movies to this like you describe that has a great metal soundtrack are both Fist of the North Star and Transformers The Movie ain't i right?

  • I totally agree!

  • I love this sound track and movie. Everything I want to say has already been said by everyone else.

  • this is so epic

    best movie and song

  • scored more times in the past with this song than any other.

  • I FUCKING LUV THIS SONG !! \ ,, /

  • Awesome movie, awesome soundtrack.

  • great movie. no one else my age seems to have ever heard of it though. im 17 and first saw it when i was 15 and fell in LOVE with it. it has the most amazing soundtrack and awesome animation.

  • More and More I see these amazing movies from back in the day and I still say they beat anything now, Seems everything is about special effects now, The best movies didnt have very many special effects at all.

  • Movies like what?

  • debbie does dallas...that didnt have any special effects..?

  • @pmay222 Yeah, I think it did... but dont think they will let it be posted on youtube. I will have to buy the DVD and watch again

  • @Sundownerr I dunno. You say things like that, but then you have Inception, which had very few computer effects. And you have lots of great movies without special effects that are just off the beaten path, like No Country For Old Men, which is just a modern day western. There are also plenty of independent fimmakers who make interesting movies that aren't reliant on special effects.

  • @Sundownerr Michael Bay?

  • CLASSIC..... damn i'am getting old. still one of my fav's.

  • @sunniski

    you and me both brother :)

  • @sunniski Dude...you can never get old. I must be the same age as you, but in reality I'm 17. I fucking love this song.

  • @sunniski  hey nah i love this music too but im 16

  • @sunniski I'm relatively young (the movie ame out 4 years before my time) and this is still one of my favorite movies. I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so awesomely weird.

  • @CympleGuy alot of people were in their comfort zone when they first heard it or saw it. The past becomes a good time to remember when they hear it again. almost magical.

  • @sunniski I agree the past is something to remember

  • @sunniski yes one of mine!!!!!!

  • @sunniski How old you gettin buddy? This song is masterful

  • @guiltyblade  49yrs.old

  • @sunniski -yeah, it just seems like yesterday. At least we grew up with things like this and not the crap thats out there today. I feel bad for the young ones now.

  • @matteblack357 .... I feel bad for the ones these days who try to forge some music that they just should'nt try.... like country and rap = CRAP too. lol

  • @sunniski I saw this movie on the big screen in '82 in West Germany. How time flies! I am getting older *sigh*

  • @capie44 Older ? yea.... its true, but you know what they say.... who are they anyway.. hehe

  • @sunniski Thirty years already. Geez. It's been only last week my 5 year old was born! Older by decades every minute :-P

  • @sunniski So long as you have good taste, age is an abstract....believe it...

  • @TheRaketmensch Good point..... so true.

  • @TheRaketmensch got layed everbtime i seen it when it came out

  • Yeah in' 81 at Glendale drive-in in west of phoenixI snuck over to watch this.Seen this also at Uncles house .

  • I have been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar.

    best line ever!

  • plz dont let these shakes go on...so true, some days, i tell ya

  • Wow, i remember watching this when i was about 16/17, ten years ago. We had "black box" cable with all channels. I was home alone at the time so i lit up a fat spiff and came across this movie on my free ppv channel. I was so baked that it seemed like i was in a dream while watching this. Watching it again sober was still awesome. I only watched it because of the title, i hadnt heard of it before, but damn, it changed my life! lol.

  • I wore out 3 copies of this soundtrack and I saw the movie in the theater. Yeah I'm an old fart so sue me.

  • @DefCon1966 Lets trade places.

    I'll be in my forties, having experienced the 80's

    and you can be eighteen in a generation of crap.

    :]

    You were the best generation, hands down, dude.

  • @Tekkyh N o shit!!!!!!!!

  • This is the best animated movie ever made. It's an all time classic. I remember in 82, watching the movie on HBO, while sleeping over a friends house after a birthday party. We were all like 9-11yo. it was like 1:00am and the kids mom told us we couldn't watch it. Well, she made the mistake of leaving it at that & going to bed. We just turned down the volume. She checked on us during the closing credits & said "So I see you all watched it anyway?" Um, Duh! What did ya think? We HAD too!

  • i was really stoned about 15 years old, i'd just gotten home and was goning to do some channelsurfing. i had no idea it was on. i just ran in to it. the next day i wasn't sure if i had truly seen it or i just dreamed it. it wasn't until one of my friends sai "man i saw this fucking weird movie yesterday" i was sure... i thought i just dreamed of what would happen if they'd put everything awesome in one movie.

  • why must they be remembered for that ccowbell skit? thyeere an aweoms eband!

  • more cowbell hahahha

    Yes!! this is by far the best BOC song

  • your parents were just kids before you were just a kid and these kids will be kids until they become you and think

    why do kids do these things?

  • Best BOC song ever! Just needs more cowbell...

  • have this album rock on bro

  • Best song of the movie ^^

  • more cowbell!

  • Who thinks Taarna is a fine piece of animated ass? i bet Fifth Element got ideas from this movie.

  • it's a good song. pumps up the adreinal glands for any type of warfare. personally i'd be a sniper.
