Summer of 1981. I was 11 years old and my mom wouldn't let me watch it. So I told her I wanted to see another movie that was playing at the same time. She dropped me off for the mantinee. I paid for Superman 2 and walked into Heavy Metal. I was blown away and the only kid in my neighborhood who got to see it!!
My dad had a moment of badass and rented it. He asked me what was the worst movie I'd seen, I told him my first anime was Akira. So, we watched it together. I was 9.
@@MultiManimal ive got a 99 buick century thats SLOW AF . but 6.25s in the lower door.... tweeters in the upper door....... 3 way 6x9s in the back deck and a 12 inch sub in the truck (with enough room left over for groceries..... because its a buick) . 65W RMS to each speaker 1000W rms to the sub (but gain is turned WAY down.... as sub can only do ~600W before it cooks... probably close to 350W) . . it sounds FUCKING AMAZING
Snuck into the movie theater to see this masterpiece! Needless to say, I was thoroughly impressed! The animation was sick! The soundtrack, was AWESOME! What a great movie!
There are some songs that aren't long enough, because they could never be too long. Some songs you could have playing all day, everyday, and never get tired of. This is that song.
Yes, there were technological limitations. It also depends on how long the musicians can play for. It kills me that the Beatles played "Helter Skelter" for 20 minutes and cut it down to just about three minutes for the album track. Nothing beats George screaming "I got blisters on my fingers!"
Agreed. It's the Hard steady Long Bass and Rhythm and a fond memory of when we were young and adventurous. Another - Versions of Fluke-Zion from the Matrix.
I won four free tickets to it when it opened, I was the only one in the crowd that knew the origin of the movie. I'd been subscribing to Heavy Metal since it came out.
The B-17 sequence has such a memorable opening. The smooth rotoscope animation of the bomber, this music, the gunners pounding away on their ANM2 machine guns. It might be the shortest and least elaborate scene in the whole movie, but it has such impact. I want to be there. P.s. Probably no surprise, but I also love the attack on Eden scene from Heavy Metal 2000. When "Immortally Insane" kicked in for the first time, it made me a Pantera fan for life 🤘🤘
that b-17 animation was ahead of its time back in the day.... (before i was born.... but that dont mean i know good shit when i see it) . and ya.... as a ww2 nerd..... that was so fucking bad ass wish i could watch it for the first time again
Never forget rotoscope animation. Truly ahead of it’s time, and ultimately, sadly, shunned by the major film making community. You’ll never see another film like this, or the ‘78 Lord of the Rings. It’s all done digitally now, and while it looks nice enough, it loses all of its style in the computer.
Dark Horse comics is coming out with a newly restored DEN book. Look it up if you have not heard about it yet. The man behind the restoration is Jose Villarrubia and he has been updated the fans with the progress.

This song sounds like The Eagles because Don Felder was in the band, and is still a great guitarist and songwriter. The digital recording style and instruments are a musical time capsule for 1980-81. The recording techniques and guitar sounds are right out of " Life in the Fast Lane " as well as other Eagle stuff from that era. It sounds like cocaine, expensive fast cars, bright lights, "overindulging", and girls. Then throw in the cartoon movie. It's brilliant and a great tune. I was blown away in the theater when it came out and as a young musician/guitarist and was sure it was The Eagles. " Takin' a Ride " kicks your butt as the term " Heavy Metal " was becoming a part of pop culture, art, music, and journalist themes. " Heavy Metal " magazine became a movie.The " Hair Head " bands followed and still do. The song list itself reflects the year. Now the term is a genre. Long live the movie " Heavy Metal ".
When I was 18 my dad had a 77 corvette and I drove it while playing this song and Im pretty sure I was high once or twice and it was probably the most amazing experience Ive lived out as a human, just here to relive that.
I remember watching this as a 13 year old in 1993. It was on TBS, when cable aired great movies. They had Heavy Metal on, followed by Vampire Hunter D. Blew my fucking mind. Anything by Ralph Bakshi is flawless. Wizards, Fire And Ice, The Lord Of The Rings, all are perfect.
I have 2 pages of movies I look up and I need to add Heavy Metal to them. When I am on Max, Pluto, Tubi, Paramount +, Hulu, .. folks, the more people who do searches like this, I think the odds increase that eventually they will add them and make them available. I am trying to get Exposure' (Peter Coyote ) , Beyond the Law (Charlie Sheen ) FreeFall (Eric Roberts ) and a ton of others added. Imdb is a good place to look things up.. also. In other posts here I just found out Timothy B. Schmidt and another did backup vocals to the song. I wonder as I did a quick glance and didn't verify, if Red Ryder has a song too on that album cover: Lunatic Fringe.
In fact, today's kids might know and yes, they have cell phones and PCs, today's kids can watch anything and know almost anything they want, just because it was amazing for you and our times doesn't mean it will be for you. they are amazing, this generation has much more entertainment than you guys hahaha.
Just rocked this on the air guitar for my son, while his mum made him play them air drums. He laughed so hard our hearts melted. His first giggle at 11 weeks old
killer tune, this is how I've discovered Don Felder, I was shocked to find out he was one of the members of the Eagles, if Henley and Frey were in the right frame of mind they would bring Felder back.
Apparently, Don (Felder) could be... very difficult to get along with. Lots of times they almost came to a fistfight on stage, was the way the word goes.

+PSIcoh Point?... Piracy ruined it, the internet ruins everything.. Many born in the mid 80's and up decided it would be awesome to download music around '93-'95 when the internet really got started, so the monetary value of promoting music videos went away as soon as the monetary value of albums went away.. The only way MTV could have made any continuous profits was by airing bullshit shows that only those with an IQ of under 90 would have the patience to watch.. Not only has your generation been helping out, mine was the middle man (born in '96) and those before me (Started the destruction and caused most of the damage) Not only do we have to go on youtube to watch music videos and have to rely on pandora to listen to any potential solid bands, like we were able to on MTV, we have to order solid albums online because nobody buys them anymore, we also pay a buttload of money to go to concerts because there are no albums to promote/purchase, you could go see bands like metallica and pantera etc for dirt cheap because they would go out and buy albums.. Now you'd be paying $50+ not including drinks and merchandise you'd like to purchase..

i have seen the god damn movie 37 times and i still see new stuff every god damn time i see it but the the boeng b -17 bomber scene is just priceless, love it 👍
Its funny when you think about how ahead of its time this movie was. Adult cartoons are everywhere today, but that was an unheard of concept back then! Also I was (still am) a bit of a history buff and that b-17 sequence probably freaked me out more than the average kid haha...
sergeantbigmac Yea that was kind of a weird sequence, a B-17 bombing run plus flak exploding all around? I usually associate that imagery with the European theatre but in the Pacific. Trippy
jdfields711 Well bombing runs happened on both fronts. There was almost always a bombing by air before troops landed on an island in the PTO, not to mention the firebombing campaign of Tokyo that killed many more people than either of the A-bombs. But thats all beside the point because that sequence was trippy as fuck.
Hot damn forgot about this song. Damn it's freaking awesome. Screw coronavirus I am getting baked in my car all afternoon. That's what I call social distancing. 😯🥴😂🤘
Man... I can just listen to this song over and over, crying and smiling, remembering what it was like when I was young, before all the pain. I took my ride on Heavy Metal, it's just over that's all.
This was back when you had to listen to the radio at night or see a band live or maybe see them on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert!!! There was no internet....phffffff.......you actually had to do some work to be a fan!!! Kids nowadays!!! LOL...awww I'm officially old.....:(.....where my Geritol????????
Who else is still rocking out to this and remembering the animated movie in 2016!! Yes you!! Fuck yeah!! Rock with me!! Loved that drawn Corvette in free-fall in the beginning of the movie!!
85 Studios actually that vette was a rotoscoped photo of the car...the movie did a lot of rotoscoped animations...part of why it looked the way it did...
Franklin Blankenship That is really cool, I am going to have to look that up because I don't really know what that is and have never heard of it, you taught me something new/ Thanks!
85 Studios it's a cool animation technique that basically drew lines over filmed footage, to make animation move realistically. ..the most recent and high profile use of it was in the movie A Scanner Darkly, which itself is an interesting film, but for other, very different reasons...
And that's our future... Some things are never gonna change. We'll just find quicker ways to judge and eliminate each other. And now back to the music... and the tits talk!
went to see this in ‘83 while in college with a girl I had met on campus a week or so earlier…went home with her and had an un-fekkin’-believable night/morning….great memories!
South Park can blow me. This movie and soundtrack were monumental, Pixar and all of its talent and technology have yet to produce a fantasy/sci-fi flick that targets aduults
Where you live all natural death in he'll w/o the devil cuz when I find him there be no solitary confinement just torment pain eternal anguish now about the so called back pack thank you for lying not in a court of law but 2 witnesses in holidays inn hotel the Secretary & Dude in a suit & Tie for me in front of the Spokane entire police dept. Now about that not medal of honor but about the governor of great state of Washington giving David lee james Maslo a full pardon so I maybe able to get housing in a Country I did help build for Mexican wages
Can you hear the term "heavy metal" years before it was anointed as such? It stands alone as one of the best "one hit" songs with one of the best "cult films" (best animated) ever made! Together they provided the perfect "snap shot" of the time it embodied, and what was to come. Felder nailed one of the best soundtrack songs ever.
I 1st saw the movie with my gf in the 80s at the drive in and it was great and then 20 years later I saw it again and wow did I miss a lot of the movie!the sound track OFF THE HOOK!

I actually like the fact that they played this on south park because now this generation can listen to how music is supposed to be. I believe all shows should use more great ol' songs like this for these kids and teens to look up and listen to.
Who says this is what music is supposed to be? You go back to the generation before yours and they'd be saying the same about this music, and the same for the previous generation, and the one before that. The level of pretentious arrogance that it takes to think *your* generation is the one that solved music and made it perfect is unreal.

Drive it on up and let's cruise a while
Leave 'em very far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean corvette
To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
Baby the green lights are on
It's like you're runnin away on some high octane
Every time she reached the boulevard
Won't you take a ride, ride, ride
On heavy metal
It's the only way that you can travel
Down that road
Satisfied, fied, fied
On heavy metal
Baby won't you ride
Ride it until it explodes
Heavy Metal
My oh my how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin' to leave you
You know you just can't lose the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You've gotta get your redline fever
'Cause there is just on cure that they know for sure
You just become a heavy metal believer
Won't you take a ride, ride, ride
On heavy metal
It's the only way that you can travel
Down that road
Satisfied, fied, fied
On heavy metal
Baby won't you ride

Takes me back to the early 80's when we were hitting all the concerts,high school and partying while we watched MTV.
Rolled Brim You know you are old when you know what the M in MTV stands for. :(
robajohnson not really. I know tons of people my age (im 15) who know what MTV's origins were.
+PSIcoh Point?... Piracy ruined it, the internet ruins everything.. Many born in the mid 80's and up decided it would be awesome to download music around '93-'95 when the internet really got started, so the monetary value of promoting music videos went away as soon as the monetary value of albums went away.. The only way MTV could have made any continuous profits was by airing bullshit shows that only those with an IQ of under 90 would have the patience to watch.. Not only has your generation been helping out, mine was the middle man (born in '96) and those before me (Started the destruction and caused most of the damage) Not only do we have to go on youtube to watch music videos and have to rely on pandora to listen to any potential solid bands, like we were able to on MTV, we have to order solid albums online because nobody buys them anymore, we also pay a buttload of money to go to concerts because there are no albums to promote/purchase, you could go see bands like metallica and pantera etc for dirt cheap because they would go out and buy albums.. Now you'd be paying $50+ not including drinks and merchandise you'd like to purchase..
productionbrothers mtv sucks fight me
It has been years since I've seen this movie. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the music. Glad this movie has gotten the cult status it deserves.

This tunes is the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!! ever since hearin it its stuck in my head, all I hear 24 hours a day. Love it! 😊👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Classic tune and a classic movie!!! Soundtrack was amazing!!!!
Don Felder. Often imitated! Never Duplicated!
Listen to Red Rider -Lunatic Fringe. That song does a pretty decent job too
Drive it on up and let's cruise a while
Leave your troubles far behind
You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette
To get you there right on time
Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive
Baby, the green lights are on

Every time she reaches fully blown
Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road

Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes

My oh my, how this lady can fly
Once she starts rollin' beneath you
You know you just can't lose, the way she moves
You wait for her to finally release you
It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise
You've got a touch of redline fever
'Cause there is just one cure that we know for sure

Heavy metal...
Totally forgot how cool this tune is.
Don Felder: very underrated
Ironically, it's a Hard Rock song...
Sounds a lot to me like Kiss's Cold Gin. But whatever. Still a great tune.
Perfect song to smoke weed to my dad got me hip to this
"Oh that's nasty..."
@@freebird0147 yeah she tight in this she made me want to watch heavy metal
I listened to this a while back while on Ketamine. Such an awesome experience
i have seen the god damn movie 37 times and i still see new stuff every god damn time i see it but the the boeng b -17 bomber scene is just priceless, love it 👍
That's where this song plays eh?
@@westsidecater Correct.
Those poor men on that B-17....
That scene left one hell of an impact on me when I was a kid!
sergeantbigmac
I know right! I watched it too when i was a kid, i figured it was only a cartoon and didn't know any better
Its funny when you think about how ahead of its time this movie was. Adult cartoons are everywhere today, but that was an unheard of concept back then! Also I was (still am) a bit of a history buff and that b-17 sequence probably freaked me out more than the average kid haha...
sergeantbigmac
Yea that was kind of a weird sequence, a B-17 bombing run plus flak exploding all around? I usually associate that imagery with the European theatre but in the Pacific. Trippy
jdfields711 Well bombing runs happened on both fronts. There was almost always a bombing by air before troops landed on an island in the PTO, not to mention the firebombing campaign of Tokyo that killed many more people than either of the A-bombs. But thats all beside the point because that sequence was trippy as fuck.
I never knew Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit sang on backup for this song, this could have easily been an Eagles song.
Doobie1975 It actually was supposed to be on The Long Run, but they didn't have enough time to finish it. So Don put it on his solo album.
It's ok, they brought us Dirty Laundry and Hotel California!!!
@@justinstearns9723 Would this have been the only Eagles song with a Felder lead vocal?
@@slide4180 no Visions was felder on vocals in one of these nights album 1975
@@nicemoves777 Dirty Laundry is a Don Henley solo song.
This song is insanely good especially the intro
Hot damn forgot about this song. Damn it's freaking awesome. Screw coronavirus I am getting baked in my car all afternoon. That's what I call social distancing. 😯🥴😂🤘
One of the greatest rock sounds...ever
THANK YOU SOUTH PARK FOR PUTTING THIS SONG IN YOUR EPISODE THIS REALLY MAKES ME LOVE THE 80'S ALOT MORE :P
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN HA HA HA HA HA :P
Hehehe yea dude screw this generation
One of the best songs on the soundtrack . The Eagles ain't The Eagles without Don Felder .
Love this music !!! Class of 1983…Rules 😎 40 yrs later 😃
Man... I can just listen to this song over and over, crying and smiling, remembering what it was like when I was young, before all the pain. I took my ride on Heavy Metal, it's just over that's all.
This was back when you had to listen to the radio at night or see a band live or maybe see them on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert!!! There was no internet....phffffff.......you actually had to do some work to be a fan!!! Kids nowadays!!! LOL...awww I'm officially old.....:(.....where my Geritol????????
fucknA., you could listen to the entire inagaddadavida with no interruptions while you toked out, then call the station and request another song
Hell yeah! or have them play more Iron Butterfly!!!........ahh shit we're old:(
how old am I? I forgot
Walker Races at high noon?
Challenge accepted! Wait I need to change into a clean DEPENDS.....forget it I'll just go "Commando"!!!!
This is hands down the best song on the movie.
I've been singing this song in my head for 3 days.
must be 3 years now 😅
Who else is still rocking out to this and remembering the animated movie in 2016!! Yes you!! Fuck yeah!! Rock with me!! Loved that drawn Corvette in free-fall in the beginning of the movie!!
85 Studios actually that vette was a rotoscoped photo of the car...the movie did a lot of rotoscoped animations...part of why it looked the way it did...
Franklin Blankenship That is really cool, I am going to have to look that up because I don't really know what that is and have never heard of it, you taught me something new/ Thanks!
85 Studios it's a cool animation technique that basically drew lines over filmed footage, to make animation move realistically. ..the most recent and high profile use of it was in the movie A Scanner Darkly, which itself is an interesting film, but for other, very different reasons...
Franklin Blankenship Cool I will have to check that out as well! Thanks Again!
Hell yeah, I have it on Blu-ray!
Fantastic song. I never get tired of this tune. Don Felder in concert is worth every nickel. Really terrific band/artist/songs.
I was a teenager back when this came out.
I liked the Movie
Heavy Metal.
I still like this song in 2019.
✌🤓
2024 🇧🇷❤
Today I learned, that there is an actual movie that South Park copied, and the woman and bird are on the album cover.
🙏
53 PPL are not satisfied on heavy metal...
but I am. This song is awesome to crank on any stereo, no matter where you are.
kenny knows what this is all about

GlasgowEoin2k6 cheeeeeeeezing

Totally forgot about this song. Thank you Southpark
yeah cheers southpark I would not have discovered it even without them
Yall should take the time to watch heavy metal. You won’t be disappointed
When a guy tries to rob you in a taxi, so you vaporize him.
And that's our future... Some things are never gonna change. We'll just find quicker ways to judge and eliminate each other. And now back to the music... and the tits talk!
I wanna get cheesed right now
I'm only doing the thumbs up because it's south park. I have no intention of cheesing.
Kenny metal. Or should I say Southpark metal?
🧀?!?!?!?!?!?!

Cruising Friday and Saturday nights 1981 to 1987 the best of times, you who were there know what I mean..............
Hell Yes I Do!! Best of the best times! Amen....
take a ride, ride, ride on Heavy Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rock & roll and I want to see sex drugs and rock & roll
As a truck driver this album has kept me sane I think
The sad moment when this song ends ❤ It’s absolutely one of my all-time favorite kick ass songs, just saying.
I reckon South Park gave this song 500,000 hits.
so what?
Nathan Howard More like 500,000 tits.
Nathan Howard Just like the aidsburger in paradise Jimmy Buffet song. There just arent that many fret boys and alcoholics chicks from the south.
This song was a hit before "hits" on youtube even existed.
I reckon heavy metal gave this song the other 3.1 million hits.
One of the greatest tunes ever...
I watched it for the first time yesterday, pretty awesome and amazing soundtrack
went to see this in ‘83 while in college with a girl I had met on campus a week or so earlier…went home with her and had an un-fekkin’-believable night/morning….great memories!
Clearly the best song in one of the coolest movies ever made. :)
This is off one of the best South Park episodes ever
South Park can blow me. This movie and soundtrack were monumental, Pixar and all of its talent and technology have yet to produce a fantasy/sci-fi flick that targets aduults
Im here from south park but reading th comments makes me realise i need to watch this it sounds good still little confused about the b17 thing
James Hibberd it is a really good movie although the second one isn’t as good
@@death3678 we dont talk about heavy metal 2000
Gregory Turner Heavy metal.....2000
Saw this at a midnight movie with my bro and some friends. l remember it as a good times I will not forget.
I seen it when it first showed in theaters 82 i think awesome. Music no decade had better harder than the 80s
WOO HOO!

*B O O B I E S ! ! ! ! ! !*
Absolutely love this song. Thanks for the upload, dude.
I've seen in the movie theater in 1983, and I have Blue Ray disc too... great movie... Don Felder is a guitar genius...
Can you hear the term "heavy metal" years before it was anointed as such? It stands alone as one of the best "one hit" songs with one of the best "cult films" (best animated) ever made! Together they provided the perfect "snap shot" of the time it embodied, and what was to come. Felder nailed one of the best soundtrack songs ever.
I 1st saw the movie with my gf in the 80s at the drive in and it was great and then 20 years later I saw it again and wow did I miss a lot of the movie!the sound track OFF THE HOOK!
I see what you mean :)

I'll admit South Park introduce me to this song, but as of 2022 I finally watched Heavy Metal and it is a definitely worth a watch.
"Even in death, my power remains"
I actually like the fact that they played this on south park because now this generation can listen to how music is supposed to be. I believe all shows should use more great ol' songs like this for these kids and teens to look up and listen to.
Watching South Park now
@@roybenitez8894Same here
Who says this is what music is supposed to be? You go back to the generation before yours and they'd be saying the same about this music, and the same for the previous generation, and the one before that.
The level of pretentious arrogance that it takes to think *your* generation is the one that solved music and made it perfect is unreal.

B-17 scene is honestly something that was awesome too see. I wish i could watch it for the first time again
I just re watched South Park 12 Season.
Thank you Kenny showing me Heavy Metal is awesome.
One of the coolest songs ever written.
Love to cheese out to this song
It's fon to due!
I'm only doing the thumbs up because it's south park. I have no intention of cheesing.
Lets enjoy some fondue while watching the movie "Heavy Metal".
Honestly what is cheesing?
@@sumpum2672 I looked it up. I think it's the 80s way of saying "getting high". Either that or they just really like smiling to themselves when they listen to this song.
My favorite song of all time, seriously this is on the number 1 spot for me
One of the coolest sequences in a cool movie... Rotoscoped models gave the planes that look...
