-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Кино
Finally coming back to Steppenwolf! So many of you said we had to hit this track before we continued on with them! Cheers guys where do we go from here?! 🙌🏻🔥
The Pusher
You guys would love the guess who.... No sugar tonight
After the Guess Who, follow up with Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Check out "Don't Step on the Grass Sam"......oh, this Rushgal is still waiting for Working Man Live in Cleveland..and....you're the only guys I support on Patreon. 🙃🤞
The Pusher is the only hit left after that you’re done
True story: I was in a blues band, playing in a dive bar, and we were dying onstage. All of the sudden a guys comes through the back door on his Harley, pulls up in front of the stage and revs the throttle. The guitarist immediately broke into Born to be Wild, even though we’d never played it before. It all came together perfectly and the place went nuts. Best onstage moment of my life!
Honest to God it was probably my husband - he's done exactly that on more than one occasion 😂😂😂😂
The line "Heavy Metal Thunder" referred to a motorcycle, not a music style but it became the tag for Heavy Metal music later on. This song was the featured track from the 1969 classic movie Easy Rider.
I missed your comment, I also said the same thing...2hrs. later. Great minds think alike! Cheers
I met John Kay, the lead singer, about 30 years ago and he told me that, although he didn’t write it, it was written about his first car, a 1965 Ford Falcon. A kid and his first car. I’ve never heard the song the same way again
@Manuel EsterI have found that people who constantly use emojis usually don't really have the capacity to intelligently express themselves. Maybe you should think about that before you embarrass yourself? Again "Manny".
@@danbeatle1 Oh wow we had a Ford Falcon. It definitely had a lot of steel. :-) Heavy for sure.
@@danbeatle1 Wow. I learned to drive a standard transmission in a '65 Falcon. Extra challenge due to the column-mounted stick.
Born to be Wild still rocks and resonates. Steppenwolf is long overdue to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I love the fact you guys don’t stop the music to react to it, waiting until the song ends is so much better, thanks
Heavy Metal Thunder! This song has been in every movie that has a motorcycle anywhere in it. Lol
Which is a bit ironic, because he wrote the song about how much he loved driving his car (A Ford Falcon I believe)...
... and at least one movie featuring a motorhome.
I absolutely LOVE Dana Carvey singing this in the 1990 movie "Opportunity Knocks". Every time I hear the song, it's the first thing that comes to mind, even before I think of Easy Rider. LOL
Also been in any movie or documentary about the war in Viet Nam.
@@theactualbajmahal833 my first thought! The motorcycle rider flipping off Albert Brooks 😂🤣
If you were around when this song came out, there is absolutely no way you cannot envision scenes from "Easy Rider" with Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and a very young Jack Nicholson going on inside your head.
I remember the song and the movie very clearly. Steppenwolf went grocery shopping with me for years.
Definitely!!!
Motorcycles in general come to mind
I agree because when I heard it I wasn’t even graduate from high school yet I went out and bought the 33 1/3 rpm slept on my term table put on my headphones and listen to it that’s my experience of it no movie anything I heard in its raw form listen to the whole album over and over and over again
Sorry for the comment publicly but Alex (I always confuse your names), watch this video and look at your fingers. They have white bands which could be an early sign of Reynaud’s Syndrome. Hope it’s just a video illusion.
Whenever I hear this song I always remember my '68 Camaro, and how the State Police knew me by first name.
What you can't experience is hearing this music back when it came out, before all the heavy metal that came afterward. This was so unique in its time.
There are still bands from the 60’s and 70’s with a sound I can’t compare to anything else. Yes, for example.
Two Steppenwolf songs, this one and “The Pusher” were both in the movie “Easy Rider” (1969).
This song was originally released in June of 1968, I was 13 years old that summer and it was all over the radio back then.
Thanks for the tunes and the memories!
In spring 1970, with this song popular, a friend and I left LA towing a drag race car to Rockingham NC. We had kinda shaggy hair and didn't get served in MS & AL cafes. Also had to haul a$$ out of a gas station in AL. "They didn't take kindly to our type, round there". Guys in a pick-up, guns in the rack, calling from a payphone for reinforcements. We Got Gone...
Dual reaction.
Pusher - Steppenwolf circa 69 Soundtrack " Easy Rider"
Pusherman - "Curtis Mayfield" circa 72
Soundtrack. " Superfly"
Both Epic
@@jgsrhythm100 I was also thinking of Curtis Mayfield, what a great singer and guitarist!
I was 13 in June of 1968 listening to this at church camp!
@@invisibledooley Absolutley. Was trying to differentiate to A&A the difference between Mowtiwn and the likes of Curtis Mayfield and Sly Stone(at least the tracks I'm suggesting). Motown is great but designed to reach a mainatream audience(waters down).
Curtis Mayfield Pusherman is a greasy funk masterpiece!
This wasn't just a song of the sixties, it was THE song!
Still is!
Us teens had that song as our unofficial anthem.
Everytime I hop on my motorcycle I start hearing this song in my head
I really can’t get my head around your statement “I’ve never heard this song”.
This is one of the most iconic rock songs of all time, and has been in more movies
and advertisements than just about any other song.
I was a freshman in college when this
song hit the airwaves.
Yeah, this is one of the most culturally pervasive songs of all time. I’m beyond shocked that Alex hadn’t heard this before. too.
They surely have heard most of the songs they deal with - as most reaction video makers do. You have to live with absolutely no music around in the jungle not to hear this (and 90% of the numbers)
I agree, one of the most commercially played song.
Surely they must have heard it in one of the countless movies it has been featured?
They're saying they've never heard the entire song.
If any song was ever made for a road trip, its this one, I think it's on every 'driving rock' compilation album ever made.
Can you imagine this being part of your early teenage years? It was mine, and thousands, if not millions like me!
Guilty as charged, music of our youth
high school for me, a great time for music.
@soo d Every 14-year-old had this poster on their bedroom wall in 1969: images.app.goo.gl/xt83DQ5e9NcDnoxk6
@@kjmorley I was 17 at the time, didn’t have that poster, but had Jim Morrison, Hendrix, Janis and Farrah Fawcett
How fortunate are we to have lived through that musical era.
Without a doubt, Born to be Wild is one of the best rock'n'roll songs ever made....."Like a true nature child, we were born to be wild'
"Heavy metal" was a term first used by a journalist to describe Blue Cheer's sound on SUMMERTIME BLUES.
Steppenwolf was the 1st to immortalize it in song, shortly thereafter.
I think Blue Cheer's Summertime Blues was released 1 month before Born to be wild.
steppenwolf, deep purple, CCR. Loved that sound back then so raw, heavy and unique
If this song isn't on your road trip playlist, do you really have a road trip playlist??
Definitely on mine.
@@balderdashery1 best part is when alex admits because he had to that he has heard the song before from movies because he has and its been in an 100 movies. and Andy acts surprised because he goes off script of how they are to pretend they have never heard of MOST of these songs. Born to Be Wild is in a ton of movies and commercials and TV shows and still on the radio constantly. I suppose someone could sing happy birthday to these guys and they would pretend not to know it.
Definitely not on mine because it's been played to DEATH over the last 50 years and I just can't get through the entire song anymore before hitting the forward button.
This song is worse than 2020
If it doesn’t include this AFTER STARTING WITH RADAR LOVE, is it even a road trip playlist?
THE anthem of the 60’s
Thought the same as you.
Until of course we did Born to Run in the 70's!
I don’t know how it’s possible to live in this country and never have heard this song. It’s basically in the fabric of our society.
"Monster" is their epic masterpiece. Very relevant lyrics that still hold up well in our current climate.
Yes, Monster for sure!
"Monster" is amazing. Very relevant even now. It's a bit long, but worth every minute!
SO TRUE
Classic, of course. Could consider doing "The Pusher", a slightly deeper cut, but still a known song by us old heads.
Exactly!!!
@@arts2437 lol, I ran into the same thing in the early '80s calling in to request AC/DC's Big Balls! The DJ had me on speaker phone at first and picked up the handset to tell me she couldn't play it.🤣

Yes, "The Pusher" - Written by Hoyt Axton, Would be interesting to hear more of his songs on here.
The Live @ The Matrix version was the best version of The Pusher......
There may be two, possibly three songs that could legitimately be considered the official theme song of the Baby Boom Generation. This would be one of them. ☮
And one of the others would be "Won't Get Fooled Again"...Hang on. Wait a minute; we did...DOH!!
Or "My Generation"...Hang on. Wait a minute, we're old...DOH (again)!!
@@stevious7278 "My Generation" would definitely be one Wonko! Still thinking about number three.
@Red Death I'm thinking maybe something by Dylan... "Like a Rolling Stone" perhaps? 'White Rabbit' definitely deserves an honorable mention.
@Kelly Johnson hmmm, not sure if that counts, Kelly. maybe some 80s Springsteen? 😎
@Kelly Johnson The good news Kelly is that you're not barred from enjoying this classic till your your little Gen. X heart's content. We just can't let you have it as your anthem. Hey, I don't make the rules. 😏😎
Harley Davidson's are the heavy metal thunder. I rode for over 20 years and this song never got old with us bikers and biker chicks!
I remember when I first heard this on the radio at home. BLEW me away and I still have a copy this day. I was driving a motorcycle at the time and when it came on the radio me and all my friends would hop on our bikes and blast off. It ALWAYS did that and still does. One of my top fave songs to this day.
When I was in high school I saw Steppenwolf and The Guess Who together in concert. It was amazing! You haven’t reacted to anything by The Guess Who yet. That would be a good direction to head into - American Woman / Undun / No Time / These Eyes / Laughing / No Sugar Tonight-NewMother Nature / Share the Land...there are so many to choose from. 🎧
I see you love dogs, I could not exist W/O my Pitt mix 'Abbey"! cheers.
@@USGrant-rr2by sounds like Abbey has a great life! I absolutely love dogs, especially my 11-1/2 year old chihuahua-beagle mix! He is my child. No two ways about it. 🧡🐕
They need to kick off with No Sugar Tonight! A really real groovy vibe✌🏻
@@allisonreed7682 Eleven and a half years! Wow. And I've never heard of a Beagle-Chihauhua mix before. Interesting. "Abbey" is approx.4? She's a rescue, was judged to be about 4 months old when I got her. The day I got her( Dec.24, 2016, she was the "last puppy" at the pound and skin and bones) she was scheduled to be euthanized! Once I looked into those big brown eyes my heart melted and She IS my daughter!! Some people just don't get it?
@@beverlyoyarzun3326 I agree...No Sugar Tonight would be a perfect intro to The Guess Who!
Film - Easy Rider - This song was the second on the soundtrack. The song that kicked that film off was another Steppenwolf song - "The Pusher".... sleazy, sleazy, sleazy and a must to do next from them.
It was also in the 1985 film “Fandango.”
This flick is HELLA GOOD!!!
I loved Dana Carvey doing this in the 1990 movie "Opportunity Knocks".
@@AJfanboy1 that scene was hilarious! Funny movie!

One of the most influential bands of the 60's and yet, not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Says a lot more about the Hall of Fame that it does about the band..
Here's a tip - instead of adding melting ice to your drinks which dilutes the taste of your chosen libation - freeze your alcohol - which really doesn't freeze at all - to keep your drink smooth, cold, and unwatered down during your episodes. Enjoy your drinks neat. A game changer.
Next time you are out on a hike or near a nice stream, pick up a couple quarter-sized smooth, river rocks. Wash them and keep them in the freezer. Add them to your drinks before consuming. Cools the beverage, they are re-useable, and that is the REAL origin of the term, "on the rocks."
51 Years Later.... Andy and Alex reacting to this song!! Can't you believe that it's been 51 years since it's release?
Man that makes me feel old....
"Hope I die before I get old"...DOH!!! :)
@@Largeagegaplove I'm with ya on the old thing. Can't believe a half century has passed!
What??? Now I feel really old. I was 12 when this came out. Loved Steppenwolf ever since.😘😘
I don't mind aging. I'm going to do it defiantly.
I always love the sound of a Hammond B3 played through Leslies.
"Snowblind Friend," was written by Hoyt Axton, but Steppenwolf did a great cover of it.
Hoyt Axton also wrote the Steppenwolf classic The Pusher!
Snow blind friend is a great song! Been there, done that.
😍
"Hey Lawdy Mama" or "Rock Me" both pretty Steppin-wolfish.
This particular song's been in so many movies and commercials I feel like everybody's heard bits 🎵🎶🎸🎤
More? The pusher; sookie sookie, snowblind friend, monster, it's never too late.. lots of good ones.
"Sookie Sookie" for sure. I also like "Don't Step on the Grass, Sam"
Good recommendations! And after they're done with those they could check out a couple of later Steppenwolf cuts from "Slow Flux."
@@cshude yeah... I think that's a metaphor 😉
I don’t think they are old enough to listen to “The Pusher”.
We did a parody of this song for my sister called, "Born To Be With Child." (She's always pregnant)
Are you in Alabama?
Is she Catholic? LOL
My band in the 80’s did a soft version of this in a nursing home and sang Born To Be Mild changing the chords and melody to E major scale. It was a paying gig.
That's a cute idea! Any chance it's on video?
@@MagravatorMag thanks but nope.
Alex's bit about the angry cooks in a Midwestern diner is one of the best analogies I've ever heard. Hats off to you brother!
Sounded great on my car radio late at night. Great times.
OMG what took so long? This one is such a beloved classic. Love the organ love the voice love the everything about it.
The drummer drives this song so hard. Great powerful breaks from him
Very much so - Steppenwolf was huge on rhythm...... eighth note syncopations also! 🥁🎸☮️🙏
Such a truly famous and epic song. It was amazing hearing it live.
Oh my goodness!!! I can sing every lyric of this song 50 years later 😆😆 They played this song ALL THE TIME on the radio 💜
Lead singer John Kay was born in Germany. Maybe a little hint with accent?. Love you guys to check out there song. Screaming night hog, and hey ladi mama. As well as the pusher. Rock on !!!
@boltdenimon Seen Steppenwolf a couple times with one being the second Beggars Banquet outdoor festival in Toronto in 71 I believe, with Alice Cooper, Beach Boys and Chilliwack. They did this song of course and the crowd was electric
@@HamiltonRb that's awesome ! I saw them @ 1987 at Budweiser stage (molson amphitheatre) back then
You can still hear a bit of his German accent on some vowel pronunciations
@@HamiltonRb Wow that sounds amazing! I was 8 and remember this on the radio. I was a young hippy girl I guess. I took a 45 of the Doors 'Light my fire" for show and tell in the first grade. haha....peace from Olympia, WA.
@@HamiltonRb Chilliwack, now there’s a name you don’t hear too often! I remember seeing them on Solid Gold as kid, “The Gone Gone Song”
One of the most kick ass guitar sounds ever.
John Kay... decades of amazing music and his hard hitting vocals... the original Rock God !
😎🎙
One of Greatest songs ever written it has inspired generations.
Great tune by Steppenwolf..Hey Lawdy Mama
Gentlemen, you need this in your life >>> studio version of Deep Purple - Space Truckin' . Big hit for them. Also Woman From Tokyo , another hit.
You haven’t heard this song before? Am I old? I must be old now. Wow, guys. Thanks for pointing out I’m past my prime. The joy is now gone. Well done.
i'm old too
I'm only in my mid-20s, and I can't believe they haven't heard this song!
Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" is the definition of an "S' rating. An anthem of the generation.
Damn, I never noticed an accent. I had to look it up. Steppenwolf is a Canadian band, but the singer, John Kay, was born in Germany. Great ear.
German, good. I mean, Born to be wild, eh.... just don't do it.
I believe that he actually escaped from Communist East Germany.
@@valalbrecht6596 I had no idea!
He and his mother arrived in Toronto when he was 13. I'm listening and I still don't hear an accent.
@@bossfan49 I listened too and didn't hear an accent, but Alex did, and he was CORRECT. he has better ears than us!
It was used in the 1969 movie "Easy Rider" as the protagonists ( Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and a very young Jack Nicholson) were going down the highway on their Harleys. The "heavy metal thunder" line in the song referring to the sound of motorcycles.
yes, Alex got it right ...a motorcycle!
"It's Never Too Late" is a deep cut classic, lyrics and all... also "Hey Lawdy Mama", "Rock Me" and "The Pusher".
This was a really cool song back in 68. I was a preteen at the time, but with 2 older siblings got into th ed good music at an early age.
Steppenwolf "The Pusher" add it to the "Easy Rider" montage. Lol
Dual reaction.

"The pusher" has to be next as you enter a very deep Steppenwolf rabbit hole.
Such a great classic rock tune, dudes! This one..& their: Magic Carpet Ride..& The Pusher..R forever pt of the soundtrack of the 60's..& still hold up 2day. Thx 4 this one guys!
Steppenwolf is the reason my friends and I all had a "Big Muff" as our first guitar pedal. One of my all time fave bands with many deep cuts. Canadian gold.
Also: Alex's analogies are amazing.
Two instruments we don't hear enough in "rock" music anymore : organs and harmonicas. I said it.
And drums are all synthesized drum machine which should be a capitol crime
Because parents no longer yell, "go to your room and play with your organ!"
I agree! Hammond organs are incredible heavy so difficult to tour with and tubes aren’t so easy to come by these days. There aren’t so many players anymore. Back in the day, kids were made to take piano lessons and most churches had organs. The culture just doesn’t encourage playing the way it once did.
Need more cowbell also
I'd go ahead and throw saxophone in there too.
"The Pusher" would be a great deep cut follow-up.
I agree but I wouldn't call it a deep cut. Definitely not as big as the other two though.
@@ericzeller9730 not a deep cut to you and me but definitely a deep cut to a casual rock fan.
"His voice sounds like an argument between the cooks in a midwestern diner" -- damn, that's awesome and hilarious! Spot on.
Responsible for more speeding tickets than any other song !
"Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space" Cool Lyrics 1968
John Kay is a German-born Canadian rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist known as the frontman of Steppenwolf
'Who Needs Ya' is a must listen. Follow up with 'Jupiter's Child'.
I think "Who Needs Ya" is on Steppenwolf 7. I love that song, about a nightmare of a roommate. Actually, every song on that album is great! Check out "Snowblind Friend". It moves me to tears.
My sister and I Loved this song! We made a huge mural for our bedroom that said Born to be Wild! Such a great time to be young with such great music!
Great reaction, guys!
"Heavy Metal" was a term used a lot by Beat writer William S. Burroughs in the early-mid '60s - in some instances he used it to describe certain characters, but in others he also used it to describe whacked-out, hardcore drug addiction. It's not clear if Steppenwolf knew that, but the Beat writers were incredibly popular/influential with the '60s rockers, so not impossible.
After Steppenwolf used the term in this song, supposedly, film critic Lester Bangs was the first to use the term to describe a particular type of music, and he compared Sabbath's music to Burroughs's writing (there are other arguments that different writers for Cream Magazine came up with it first - but either way, you guys should totally track down some old Lester Bangs reviews, one of the great rock critics of all time).
Anyway, the term seems to have been born out of a mix of ideas and musical styles in the late '60s/early '70s, when the metal was a lot different than it is today!
Another one from the late 60's Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man. It's different !
Watching Easy Rider in the theater in '69 and they get ready to hit the highway and this song kicks in....instant rush!!!!
First on tape, then cd, now digital. This was always the number one on my playlist. I start every car trip with this pounding on my ears!
One of the most iconic rock and roll songs ever ☮️
I recommend George Thorogood, "Bad To The Bone."
That song reminds me of the opening scene in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
And before that the first film it was in was the opening scenes to Christine.
Also in Talk Radio iirc.
"Monster" is one of Stepp's most progressive songs. I recommend it highly.
"Monster" is a great Steppenwolf deep cut!
Their drummer's brother wrote it after seeing a poster in the window of a motorcycle shop that said "Born to Ride". Singer, John Kay before Steppenwolf worked as a solo folk/blues act in a small Toronto club where he also helped in the kitchen and with cleanup. So, pretty close guesses on that. Rushton Moreve's bass on that song is incredible. Only guitarists, John Kay and Michael Monarch are still with us, sadly.
Genre HARD ROCK! I love them..John Kay's voice is totally unbelievable
Steppenwolf were a great band who should be in the rock n roll hall of fame. At the time, their music was classified as acid rock, a precursor to what eventually became heavy metal. Their music, like Cream was heavy for the times. Other songs to check out: Monster (a 9 minute opus) and shorter singles like, Move Over, Who Needs Ya, Spookie Sookie, Lawdy Mamma, etc.
Carlos 😅😅, it's sookie , sookie ,😅😅😊👍🥃✊
GOOOD MORNING FAMILY!!!!
How’s you J?
I'm good. Happy belated birthday to your beautiful wife too again. Looking forward to things cooling down with DEATH BUG 19 so traveling can happen. After the last 2-3 years, a nice relaxing trip abroad is a heavenly thing to think about.
Hi John 👋
@@Shadowrider1872 I know mate. Be good to get away and taste a different culture. She had the best birthday ever... she was with me. 🤣😂🤣😂
DUDES!!!! Finallllly!!!
This song has been in a million movies. Its the Bikers anthem. I've always considered these guys the first heavy metal band. He's from Germany. Need to do the Pusher, Jupiter's Child, Screaming Night Hog. Truly one of the best bands ever.
It is amazing that you guys have reached college age without hearing many of the songs you review. Classic rock stations have played the songs over and over since they were released in the 60s and 70s.
Do Sookie Sookie next. Steppenwolf always makes me think of the desert. Maybe it's because of Easy Rider.
This song reminds me of the days when teenage guys would hitchhike around the country, a sight seldom seen these days.
Been there done that :)
We hitchhiked ALL THE TIME, as teenage girls. Crazy to think about that now!😳🥺Things were different then. Yes there were psychos, killers, etc. we just didn’t worry or think about it. CRAZY!
Yup, remember those days. Covered 38 States, Canada and Mexico that way (68-74)
I adored John Kay when I was a kid. Steppenwolf was my first rock and roll band crush. I'm 68 and still love to hear this music.
John Kay, lead singer, was born and generally raised in Germany. Good catch on the accent. He is legally blind (hence the ever-present shades) but not totally blind. Amazing songwriter and singer; killer voice. I have loved Steppenwolf for over 50 years; keep in mind this song was from the '60's. SOOOOO many good songs from them......but here's one: from their 7th album, aptly named "Steppenwolf 7", "Who Needs Ya". It just so totally kicks arse from beginning to end, has a sense of humor, and an all around fun song that will rock you to the bone.
My life’s Steppenwolf mission will be fulfilled if you react to their best song, Rock Me. Killer percussion solo and banging bass.
Also, a crime against humanity that they are not in the RRHOF
Its hard to get more classic than Born To Be Wild. I have heard the song a zillion times throughout my life. I can remember being a kid when this song first came out, and it sounded so fresh and cool back then, and even today it has something special. I'm surprised Andy didn't say how he could listen to it on a road trip. just don't do it in a Prius lol.
always loved the bass and drums on this song
I was lead singer in one rock group in early 70s ( Tyne Kyte ) and got to sing this and Magic Carpet Ride! Dudes! I was living the Life of Roxury! lol Dig it! I was 21. : )
This song feels like your climbing a mountain and you hit the top right before you drop back down for the chorus.
Time of the Season by the Zombies.
Make it snappy.
Yes!!!
"Monster/Suicide/America" are absolutely the next song(s) to review, followed by "The Pusher"...great stuff!
If you had to get across to someone what classic rock was with just one song, this is the song I would choose.
Awesome song to start the week on.
Morning gents. Great choice, this is the quintessential Steppenwolf song. I'd love to see you listen to Zomby Woof by Zappa.
'Zomby Woof' may be my favorite guitar solo of all time. The most filthy guitar tone I've ever heard, it's like a zomby woof is after me.
Here I'm is....
When they get around to Zappa Zombie Woof would be a great cut. Montana from the same album is another great showcase for Zappa's freaktastic musical vision
@@kenjohnston1257 Absolutely. Montana is one of my favorite Zappa songs.
@@kenjohnston1257 yes yes yes!
Steppenwolf's music made me fall in love with the Hammond B3 and Leslie speaker combination.
Dennis Hopper was driving around LA when he first heard "Born To Be Wild." He flashed on the idea for that tune to be used as the opening theme to his little motorcycle movie.
The anthem of a generation ! Song comes from the movie Easy Rider. Just watch the first 15 minutes, you will see/hear one of the best placed songs in any movie from any time !
Intro/Sweet Jane by Lou Reed from his early '70's Rock n Roll Animal classic live album. Or the whole album, for that matter. Those guitars, man, you'll be in the sauce the whole time. Or more Rolling Stones---you guys haven't really done much of their gigantic catalogue. Resume w/ Brown Sugar, I'm thinking. Or Honky Tonk Woman. Or It's Only Rock n Roll. Have u guys done T Rex at all? One of the best voices ever, and a great sound overall. Try 20th Century Boy, Bang a Gong, Jeepster. Love that early glam.
I second Sweet Jane!
Sweet Jane, and their song "Rock and Roll". His earlier band, the Velvet Underground, was great along with John Cale and Nico.
Oh Hellz yeah, Sweet Jane from Rock n Roll Animal!
The rolling stones till the next time we say goodbye, the offical video version
Every Biker Bar in America in 1968 was playing this on the juke Box . Hell's Angles theme song. "Get your motor runnin, head out on the Highway, Lookin for adventure...and whatever comes our way."
Find the lyrics and read them. Great old song.
That was the first reference to heavy metal in a song. Not a song, but an anthem of my generation. The anthem of my life.
