This to me is one of the best songs of that era, and I don’t know why it isn’t more popular. I remember it from the first time I heard it and love it every time since.
This is also one of my favorite songs in the world. When I was a kid I totally ripped off the ..... I dunno.... The " E" thing from him and a few other guys. I totally built my style around this. If you could say I even have a style that is. If I did ( I try) it drips with this stuff.
there are many where Fingers Felder ramps it up.. When I play drums to One of these Nights, I get tingles when Fingers rips his solo in that tune, he notches up the inspiration to play your best
This song and guitar solo is the very reason I decided to become a guitar player all those years ago. The way his leads soar are incredibly inspiring even today
Such a powerful and timeless song. Complimenting one of the greatest animated movies of all time (imo). Even after all these years he's still killin' it live.
Gracias kenny gracias south park por darme la oportunidad de conocer estos grandes musicos , heavy metal la pelicula mas hardcore estilo madmax que he visto todo en esto es genial :,)
Heavy Metal Don Felder 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… Full lyrics on Google Play Music
This song, as well as Felder's song "All Of You" are two of the greatest contributions to music of all time. Interesting that both ended up as soundtrack in the same awesome movie.
austin angler Actually, Don Henley and Timothy B Schmit contributed the backing vocals on that song so it's kinda like the Eagles recorded it. Minus whatever Walsh's guitar contribution would've been which, I'm sure, would have been awesome. Who cares what stuck up Glen Frey's part would have been.
Don Felder wanted to sing lead on Victim of Love but Frey and Henley would not let him. Said he was a guitarist not a singer. He sounds pretty good to me.
+Les Mach I love Felder and think he got a TOTAL raw deal from the Eagles...but there is no way you can tell me that song would've been better with him singing on it than Henley. This tune, however, is fantastic as is, and I'm glad the Eagles rejected it and didn't get their fingers all over it and water it down so it could become an excellent hard-rocking track (which unfortunately didn't really get its due).
+Les Mach That is half true the real truth is you use your strengths and when you have Don Henley as Glen explained you use your strengths. David Geffen called Henley "Golden Throat" which is apt.
+motorboat5150 How did Felder get a raw deal. He is worth $60 millions from his years with the Eagles. He was a down and out musician before the Eagles asked him to join. His ego is what got him fired from the band. Felder only screwed himself and made it worse by trying to sue.
+dave Ballapico He got a raw deal because they kicked him out of the band, that's why. Clearly he still wants to be there, you can tell that by the tears he shed in the documentary.I don't think his ego is what got him fired, it was his demand for equity. He should've kept his mouth shut and realized that making half of what Henley and Frey were making was still a damn good deal.
The guy that's in the henley eagles trying to cop Felder's licks does a fair job, but he AIN'T Felder lol! And besides, without Felder, there would be no hotel California.
They should be ... it’s auto tuned to the max ... Don sounds like a robot singing ! Everybody uses it now unfortunately which kinda spoils it for me . On a positive note saw the Eagles in 1976 at new Bingley Hall Stafford in the UK and Don has always been a class act.
One thing I've noticed about Felder. No matter what he plays, he outputs excellent tone. I'm telling you, it's all about the fingers who's playing folks!!
Always loved "fingers" Felder's guitar and it appears his voice is much better than Henley and Frey allowed. As they were both average musicians, maybe they couldn't allow other members of the band to outshine them.
Underated lead player, hes really really good, always hits the perfect notes and licks without needing flash, gets it done without it which is rare, great vibrato, great player
Jonathan Gee I agree that they screwed up by firing him. It's my opinion that the eagles were made by felder and walsh, but it was the eagles that allowed felder to shine.
Jonathan Gee Well the last laugh is on them. Unlike the members who quit and gave up their share in Eagles LLC Inc., he was fired, but you cannot remove his share in the Eagles forcefully. They can only prevent him from participating in songwriting, recording and live performing. So he still makes cash from anything the Eagles do as he is technically still a band member.
I'm 27... butI feel like I grew up a decade earlier. I lived the 80s 20 years later lol. All you fellas who were in the heat of the night in the 80s I salute you.
Don Felders song heavy metal is 1 of the best sounding song iv ever heard. It's also relaxing. I hope you see my comments Mr Felder. I love this song of yurs,it's my fav. I was also my late dogs fav too, she loved hearing it. She'd wag her tail when I'd say whos that, is that Don Felder take a ride? I miss her.
Thanks Don for this vid , , Fingers never fails to put a smile on this old mans face , There is no replacement for Felder , his playing will never die and frey said he couldnt sing , there is life after the Beagles

Hard to believe this song was left on the cutting room floor during the Long Run sessions. Resurrected a couple of years later for the film.
Had no idea!
No shit
Better l8r than nvr.
It was a different yet unfinished song from that time, but he reworked it into Heavy Metal when asked to contribute to the film
@@prettyshinyspaghetti8332 Interesting.
Heavy Metal Is My Favorite Song By Don Felder. Long Live Don Felder This Song Absolutely Kicks Ass One Hundred Percent And Totally Rocks.
This is also one of my favorite songs in the world. When I was a kid I totally ripped off the ..... I dunno.... The " E" thing from him and a few other guys. I totally built my style around this. If you could say I even have a style that is. If I did ( I try) it drips with this stuff.

Long live Don Felder. Amazing and underrated guitarist.
Agreed!
😉🙂😁🤫🤩
Joe Walsh in a interview said whatever the eagles did Don Felder made it better
He is such a great and versatile guitarist, a real pro, he can play so well in almost any style.
What you been smoking son

This song and guitar solo is the very reason I decided to become a guitar player all those years ago. The way his leads soar are incredibly inspiring even today
Still my favorite song and movie. I still have the original 45rpm from 1981 or 82. Its been a minute
Such a powerful and timeless song. Complimenting one of the greatest animated movies of all time (imo). Even after all these years he's still killin' it live.
awsome movie Heavy Metal 1981
Hell yeah, I liked it !
Yes it was
Heavy Metal is bad ass. Just made my girlfriend watch it for the first time.
Michiel Blok no it wasn’t .
It sucked
The most talented Eagle.
I saw the movie 4 times. Stoned out of my mind every time. Still a fantastic sound track!
Great performance! Great song !
The anthem of my youth..!
Great video....love Fingers Felder and this song!
Great performance!!!
The Eagles really did take flight like a mighty,and powerful bird.They had one hell of a flight director,Mr.Don,one of the damn best ever!
Oh damn it! Where is my cat ?!
Dude, I'm cheesing my fucking brains out right now!?
@@velanga It's fon to due!
Cartman: Bad kitties!!
Watch the movie. 1981. You're welcome.
Your cats at my house.
Don Felder playing a Gibson. Very Nice.
A true grand master. Very few people on Earth in 2023 at his level.
Don..is an American icon...Love his guitar tone ..
Don toured in 2015 with Foreigner & Styx...........he stole the show!!!
That is a great fuckin song!!! \m/ What a groove!
Man Don's still got it. 1980s forever!
A FAVE!!!!
thanks don for your kick ass tune \m/
I have the movie on DVD I think.
I paid to see it 7 or 8 times back then. Great movie! Great music!!!
Great video. Thanks.
+sretsam68 Just doing my duty.
Ride Ride Rride on Heavy Metal
Only way to be satisfried.....
the members of the Eagles sure knew how to take care of their vocal chords for the long run. Im impressed.
I bought the soundtrack just for this song.
A great song for a fast drive...
One of my favorite jams
Wow! I know this much if I was an eagles member, watch don Felder s performance I would have with a twisted and turned stomach, regret letting him go
I love this song SO MUCH!
Gracias kenny gracias south park por darme la oportunidad de conocer estos grandes musicos , heavy metal la pelicula mas hardcore estilo madmax que he visto todo en esto es genial :,)
I don't think I can listen to the original studio recorded version after stumbling upon this.
Contrary 2 popular belief, Don Felder gave the Eagles its credibility on "Hotel California". SIMPLY PUT!!!!! DONNIE F
.RULES!!!!!!
Felder is one of the Legendary Guitarist of all time.... The Eagles is nothing Without a Him..and Felder is nothing without The Eagles
he did a good job without them.
yeah.... The Eagles lost one of their greatest asset... Walsh lost an ultimate Guitar Tandem
Felder don't need the Eagles. He is awesome all by himself.
Awesome singer.
Awesome!!
It's cool that the lineup for this song was 3/5 of The Eagles.
Fingers. And that killer tone.
Fender tweed twins and a lespaul, pretty much the gold standard.
This song was from the heavy metal b17
Fuckin love me some takin a ride and Don Felder 🤘🔥🎸
Funny, Frey said he and Henley were the only two to do anything during the 80’s. This song beats any mtv baloney henley or frey made.
Heavy Metal
Don Felder
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… Full lyrics on Google Play Music
Thanks for posting this. I love this song, but am not super familiar w/ the lyrics. Still, it seems first phrase is "Fire it on up..." cheers

why do they always go t E flat live? Not just him. Is it for the voice?
+dean mccaskill Usually yeah.
+dean mccaskill I don't know. What band was it you are with? I didn't catch it.
+Les Mach The Bleeding Ulcers.
+dean mccaskill Proven fact, it resonates with the human listener more. It can be for the vocal sure but, it just 'feels' better in general.

the movie actually sucked if you ask me.
@@DonaldKoller Though the movie did suck, thank GOD 4 the soundtrack (especially w/Felder & Hagar).
The movie was just OK. The soundtrack was a monster. All of You is my favorite Felder song.
Love this song \m/ \m/ :-D
This was THE song of the
summer of 1981. 🎸😎🎸
In a better world this song would be on an Eagles album in the 80's, maybe even a duo with Walsh.
I agree.

***** Some place you go when the "heat is on" or you got the "smuggler's blues".
+thegorn68 Yes but watch out for the "Dirty Laundry" when "The Heat Is On".;-d
+thegorn68 Fuck Frey!

His voice is fine, kind of mellow but smooth.......Frey and Henley were just control freaks!
Don's guitar tone...Killer!!
Yeah, that is a sweet sound.
that pair of fender tweed deluxe 5e3 amps
And a Fulltone OCD
Nothing sounds like a Les Paul into a driven Fender low watt amp!
Don Felder's just FLAT-OUT FUCKIN' ROCKS (& XTRMLY UNDERR8D)!!!!!
The guy that's in the henley eagles trying to cop Felder's licks does a fair job, but he AIN'T Felder lol! And besides, without Felder, there would be no hotel California.
The vocals ( lead and backup) are amazingly good for a live performance.

On a positive note saw the Eagles in 1976 at new Bingley Hall Stafford in the UK and Don has always been a class act.
Saw this in jersey 2017 august
Big Time!
@@garryroberts5106 he’s just lip syncing. There’s clips of him missing words and they still play.
@@garryroberts5106😂
He such a great singer. Should of let him sing more in the Eagles. Heavy Metal is so Epic!!!!
My thoughts too!
Frey and Henley were jellous of Felder cause he could sing and play better.
Jealous of his singing no. But his playing and his looks, yes for sure.
@@hillbillybeerdranker6678- better singer than Henley. That's frigging hilarious
One thing I've noticed about Felder. No matter what he plays, he outputs excellent tone. I'm telling you, it's all about the fingers who's playing folks!!
What could wrong with a Les Paul being played with Don Felder?
Always loved "fingers" Felder's guitar and it appears his voice is much better than Henley and Frey allowed. As they were both average musicians, maybe they couldn't allow other members of the band to outshine them.
Agreed. I bet the same scenario has played out within countless bands over the years.
@@PureBlood42 +1. Mr. Felder is every bit the peer to Mssrs. Henley and the late Frey. Just as good and just as talented.
David Cech Listen to “Visions”. Amazing talent. Love Don Felder!
Truth
Not only the best songwriter and musician in the Eagles but also the best singer wow!
Felder's guitar tone is fucking KILLER!!
Spot on perfect tone!!!!! So right on!!!
Of course, it's a Les Paul, greatest electric guitar ever made. 👍
Would rather see Don live than the bunch of scabs that make up the worlds most expensive tribute band The Eagles. Frey’s KID? Please.
Underated lead player, hes really really good, always hits the perfect notes and licks without needing flash, gets it done without it which is rare, great vibrato, great player
Underrated? Are you serious?

Felder stands high above Henley and Frey.
Agree, he got the short end...…..

None of these bands were truly Heavy Metal artists except for Black Sabbath.
Felder is a frickin genious, i'm a fan !
Man that LP is stunning! Got to see this tour w/Styx and Foreigner. Felder's tone was just fabulous
Now that's damn perfect ! Done just like album version ! ( to my ears anyway)
Thanks Don for this vid , , Fingers never fails to put a smile on this old mans face , There is no replacement for Felder , his playing will never die and frey said he couldnt sing , there is life after the Beagles
pretty much anything Don Felder touches turns to gold
That’s how good karma works!!!👍😊
Nailed those harmonies...nicely done boys!
Felder and Walsh is the sound of my 70’s and it bled over to the 80’s
saw him last night at the White River Amphitheatre. HE ROCKED IT!!!👍👍👍
Holy shit this was a fantastic performance!!! :D Amazing
I remember seeing heavy metal in the theater as a kid and being blown away by the soundtrack!
Always thought this is one of the greatest songs ever, nothing fancy, but perfect!
