My dad was an accountant, but he loved this kind of music (much to some people’s surprise). When my sister and I were young, he would take us for drives in his 20 year old Porsche 911, with this song playing at the maximum volume. Such great memories. He unexpectedly passed away on June 3rd, 2022 at age 57. We requested this song to be played at his funeral, but my family forgot we requested it! So when it started playing, everyone instantly burst out into happy laughs and smiles from memories of a bygone era. RIP Dad.
My mum's favourite too, she died in her mid 60s. But if I think of her - this song sums her up - she was fearless! Reckon if she hadn't had children young she'd be back on the road!! Respect to your dad.
On the other hand, my parents were the ones dedicating this song to me 😅 ((wonder why!)) And my mom passed away on 2020. I ended up listening to this song to remind myself that, if my mom said I was ((wild)) I would have any fear at the moment she was gone! And here I am!!! Sorry for your loss and be sure your father is there with you whenever you play this. Some of us know how it feels but...let's keep it wild!!! Hugs!!!
How many folks are bikers because of this film.?? I remember seeing this in about 1969/1970 at the ripe old age of 14. Here I am now aged 62 still riding and listening to steppenwolf. :-)
I did "stage security" for a Steppenwolf show here in Richmond, VA many years ago when I was in my twenties. It was awesome. I was outside their trailer wishing so bad to be on the inside Lol!

Yes, this is correct timeline! lol I was in the theater, age 21, when this film showed first time. We CHEERED when Steppenwolf came on with that desert biker scene. Man oh man. "I never wanna die". Many of us in Cincinnati had seen Steppenwolf perform live in 1968 and just months later see his tune used in the film.
@@hottesticecube Greatest song ever forever to me. 1969 Scared of the people, loved the song. 1990's Envious of the people free from helmet laws (well I imagined they were, looking at them on this scene!) 2010's Thrilled the helmet laws ended and life can be more like it looks Then again!
@Nic_world not really. The Americans did bad things in nam. Think about "Get some" in the helicopter with the M60 and the rice farmers... ain't war hell?
Got my father's Harley back from the mechanic yesterday. He passed away 4 years ago and it's been sitting in the barn since. I've always had rockets and never a cruiser. This song was on my mind when I pulled outta the driveway with his Harley. I'll never sell it. Miss you dad so very very much.
I’m getting my late step brother’s 2003 Sportster to go with my Softail. It’s been sitting in a grimy small engine repair shop for 6 years. I’ve been begging his son to let me get it back in the road where it belongs.
I just got my late gramps Sportster going this summer after it sat for 10 years. Id never sell that either, cant beat the feeling when I hear it start up. Reminds me of him every time.
My Older Brother took me to the Drive-in to watch this movie, , at 13 years old 1969. , Never got Off my Big Twin Harley since.......Its a way of Life, ....,,,,,,,,,,,Its a Door to the Open Road an Freedom........
This give me chills! I'm a 66 year old woman, but when I used to ride my Sportster back in the day, I would hear this song in my head! Had to get rid of the bike a few years ago, b/c chemotherapy destroyed my sense of balance. Damn. I miss those days...

In 1979 me and a mate went on my CB200 to Bordon cinema (England) to see Easy Rider, we were 17, it rained all the way there. As we sat in soggy belstaff waterproofs I swore that one day I'd ride across America. Some 40 years later my wife lay ctitically ill in hospital, it was touch and go, she recovered. After that I jacked my job in, we packed our bags and headed off to California to fulfill that dream, I had never let it go. We took 5 weeks, through the rockies, across the plains, down the Missisippi to Nashville, Alabama and up to Washington DC. It was maybe the best 5 weeks of my life, drifting through the USA on a motorcycle, this soundtrack going through my mind. It rained in America too, even in the Nevada desert in August!

That's the power of good music. I haven't heard that song for years and suddenly it just popped in my head during 3 days, and now I'm here to watch the movie clip for the first time. What a great song and era. I wish I was born at the right time to be a youth in 1969.
Never gets old. I'm not a biker - dated a few, but this is one of my all time main life songs. So many different memories attached to it like coming of age and one of my first teen crushes while this song played in the background. Turns out he wound up being an avid biker when he got older and owned a biker clothing and stuff store. Rode for charities. He's passed now - over 20 yrs. Peace, Larry.
I'm not a historian, but I'd say this song has inspired a whole lotta rock. The first twenty seconds are classic. If there was a scale of 1-10 of most important/rock inspirational songs, I'd say this is an eight, at least.
I graduated from HS in 1969. I love this song !! It does bring back great memories. I want it played at my funeral too! This an d the house of THD rising sun!For those who lost their parents to earlybut have good memories with this son!…PEACE OUT ❤❤❤😇😀❤️🙏🏻
I took my son to see “Easy Rider” last week on the big screen because I love this movie. Thank you Peter Fonda for this powerful film. It speaks to tolerance, individualism and bravery. I see you now on your bike Captain America. Blessings and strength to your family.
Que bello recuerdo , cuanta nostalgia de la juventud ya ida , bellos tiempos para mi . Hermosa película y triste su final . ¡ QUE BELLO ES RECORDAR ! .
Celebrated my 70th birthday in Port A on Texas coast last weekend and beach DJ asked what song I wanted played. Without skipping a heartbeat, this one exploded in my head. Been feeling the wind in my (now thinned) hair for 53 years. Right after the snare cracks open the song, I'm 18 and a true nature child...
Yep....Cult movie...I recall watching it for the very 1st time ( then another 100 times on tv) in a movie theater in 1970 ( I was 13) here in Italy....
PENSAR QUE ESTA PELÍCULA SE REALIZÓ CON UN ESCASÍSIMO DINERO Y AHORA ES UN ICONO DE CULTO DE LOS MÁS GRANDES ROAD MOVIES. GRACIAS DENNIS POR REALIZARLA ! GENIAL ! Rosana Marchese 4 de octubre de 2021.Buenos Aires, Argentina
Bill Law, yeeaaa I am 69 but will never stop listening to "Born to be wild". I will probably drive them Nuts at the Old Age Home one day. When I take the young Nurses for a spin on my Triumph Rocket3!
Such a good song. It reminds me of this one time I was playing with my old bar band. We were on stage dying a slow death, when a motorcycle came in through the back door. A waitress spun like a top b/c of how fast the bike went past her. Our eyes met and she winked at me, as our band started playing Born to Be Wild. We had never played it before, that's the wildest part. Good times.
I don't think many people realize just how important this song is to the history of rock and metal. The metal genre was named after the "heavy metal thunder" lyric, and this is even considered by many to be the first metal song.
@@Therealist6666 my two favorite eras were the 70's and the 90's. One day, in the 90's, I was driving down the street and beautiful young petite girl flagged me down. As soon as she got into my car, wham! She punched me in the jaw. I'm sitting there rubbing it in. lol. I looked at her and I told her that I was in love. I was going to take her to a hotel, but she said she couldn't wait so I pulled over and we went at it right there in public. I started dating her, and she always wanted to do the public. Her name is Dawn. That chic was cool. 🤣
I'm a 23 years old laws student... I'm trying hard with my career and fighting to get my title but also... I'm savin some money to get my first bike, and when the time comes... I"ll put loud this song to remember that I did it... Edit: I got the Law degree bachelor recently but ain't got the bike yet hahaha now I am totally focused on get the bike 😅
when I first discovered Easy Rider, a masterpiece of fine art, the first thing the song and the movie taught me as a third-world teenager was how important it is to be born to be wild. All my rebellion rooted in the dialogue between Fonda and Nicholson in which Hopper is not always interested. The songs, too, inspired generation, some of us arabs, amazighs, sahraouis, in short, Moroccans : we just love American genius ! Greetings to USA.
I remember being around 8 years old and seeing the opener of Easy Rider on TV with Fonda and Hopper cruising along on their choppers. I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. SPEECHLESS. I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO INCREDIBLY COOL IN MY LIFE. I knew then and there that I would do whatever it took to get onto a motorcycle and head out on the highway. And NO ONE was going to stop me. Head out I did. 9 bikes later I still enjoy every second of being on a motorcycle. Especially on the highway.
This song remembers me of the two bicycle rides I did with my dad. The last one was 5 months ago and we pedaled 432km (268 miles). We had just two bikes, a camping tent and some food. We're planning the third one for july-august 2019. Believe it or not, he is 63 years old!
Of course, times changes, generations changes, life style changes...but, 60-70-80' s music never dies, many of them already have been classics, even the youngest generations listening and doing new versions, just as exemple, who listening again and again Madonna, she passed, her music passed as many others, but our generations music seems as will live forever.
Music has no boundaries. When it comes from the heart, the soul and the guts, whatever the genre, it will hits you deep in someways. it resonnates within your cells.
This song doesn't need anything, it has everything to be one of the best of all time, it has courage, it has feeling and above all its fearless 💪 At my funeral 💀 want it played at full volume🤘
Songteksten Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild
This legendary song should be declared the > *Anthem* < of Rock'n'Roll music, and should be played over the loudspeaker before the start of every rock concert !
I saw this movie several times on TV as a kid in the early 70s. At the time I had little idea what the plot was about, but it was wonderful dreamy escapist adventure, and the music was just perfect. Dennis Hopper, Pete Fonda and Jack Nicholson were like Gods on those crazy custom motorcycles out on endless sun kissed roads. This movie was like the perfect antidote to the gloomy grey skies and industrial dilapidation of Manchester, England where I was raised. The epic cinematography blended so beautifully with this legendary Steppenwolf anthem. It just captures a golden spirited hippy trippy age that I saw a little bit of in the late 60s and wished it had not faded so tragically (Manson murders, Altamont concert disaster, Vietnam etc…) and continued long enough for me me to travel to the US and trace the tracks of my movie heroes and smoke a little weed along the way 😂
I saw this movie in 1969 in a theater. My God! The ending shook me to my soul. It was a great movie and a must-see. My boyfriend owned a bike and we rode it everywhere. I was just a young thing back then and I loved him more than anyone else in my life. I'm 76 now and he would be a tad older. Are still alive, Steve? Thanks for the memories. Remember Brighton Dam? Linda
a 1969 song used for a SummerSlam in 2023 crazy how times matter like a 54 year old classic song for a classic logo and a classic upcoming SummerSlam can't wait specially for Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso 🔥🔥🔥
TheBonScott33 Glad to hear it.. exactly what I did following a bad one many years ago that wasn't my fault.... It got me through the bad times.. I actually asked my family to bring in the then video I had of the film when I was allowed up off the spinal bed and I would go to the day room that had a tv and video player.. back in late 90's.. I ended up doing the advanced bike test to get my confidence back when I self discharged.... Hope it all works out for you.. I was in the NSIC at Stoke Mandeville, five months following NHS negligence after the accident.... told I would never walk again but ignored that and can stand and move now just limited mobility and heaps of pain, I still ride.. Once it's in the blood to ride it's usually there for life... All the best for a 100% recovery. Keep your sense of humour I was told and it worked.. good advise I am happy to pass on to a fellow fallen rider.

Racin' with the wind

Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild

Hell yeah me too
I will go on one long adventure... and I will not be in damm house for several months. I becoming claustrofobic x'D
I'm in Italy and we are so tired of staying indoors..It's been a month....And it ain't over yet.....Damn.....
Me too matey !
I'm not a historian, but I'd say this song has inspired a whole lotta rock. The first twenty seconds are classic. If there was a scale of 1-10 of most important/rock inspirational songs, I'd say this is an eight, at least.

Somehow “Born to be Wild” ended up being my life’s theme song….. thanks for letting me remember!!
I took my son to see “Easy Rider” last week on the big screen because I love this movie. Thank you Peter Fonda for this powerful film. It speaks to tolerance, individualism and bravery. I see you now on your bike Captain America. Blessings and strength to your family.
Did you use a time machine?
Heck the only way i can watch this movie is once every three years on tv re run
Thanks for introducing the next generation.
hard to imagine this song is 51 years old

Celebrated my 70th birthday in Port A on Texas coast last weekend and beach DJ asked what song I wanted played. Without skipping a heartbeat, this one exploded in my head.

Such a good song. It reminds me of this one time I was playing with my old bar band. We were on stage dying a slow death, when a motorcycle came in through the back door. A waitress spun like a top b/c of how fast the bike went past her. Our eyes met and she winked at me, as our band started playing Born to Be Wild. We had never played it before, that's the wildest part. Good times.
50 years ago. Wrap your mind around that.

I don't think many people realize just how important this song is to the history of rock and metal. The metal genre was named after the "heavy metal thunder" lyric, and this is even considered by many to be the first metal song.
Thanks for sharing
The term heavy metal does come from this song, but this song in itself is definitely not Metal, this is still Rock in my opinion
@@santiagocarreno5881 Black Sabbath, right after forever.

Saw the movie in 69, a senior in high school. 25 years later saw Peter Fonda's bike in a bike museum. Man, that movie was part of the revolution.

@@Therealist6666 my two favorite eras were the 70's and the 90's. One day, in the 90's, I was driving down the street and beautiful young petite girl flagged me down. As soon as she got into my car, wham! She punched me in the jaw. I'm sitting there rubbing it in. lol. I looked at her and I told her that I was in love. I was going to take her to a hotel, but she said she couldn't wait so I pulled over and we went at it right there in public. I started dating her, and she always wanted to do the public.

Hey guys... Thank u for the support I am happy and motivated after read ur comments
when I first discovered Easy Rider, a masterpiece of fine art, the first thing the song and the movie taught me as a third-world teenager was how important it is to be born to be wild.
All my rebellion rooted in the dialogue between Fonda and Nicholson in which Hopper is not always interested.
The songs, too, inspired generation, some of us arabs, amazighs, sahraouis, in short, Moroccans : we just love American genius !

Its just one of the best songs ever created. EVen for a fifteen year old like me.
As good as being Airborne
sidharth Serjy. you remember
I remember being around 8 years old and seeing the opener of Easy Rider on TV with Fonda and Hopper cruising along on their choppers. I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. SPEECHLESS. I HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO INCREDIBLY COOL IN MY LIFE. I knew then and there that I would do whatever it took to get onto a motorcycle and head out on the highway. And NO ONE was going to stop me.
Head out I did. 9 bikes later I still enjoy every second of being on a motorcycle. Especially on the highway.
🙏👋👋👋👋❤
Love this song reminds of my Wild Child Days of the 1970's! No regrets! Pure fun!
This song remembers me of the two bicycle rides I did with my dad. The last one was 5 months ago and we pedaled 432km (268 miles). We had just two bikes, a camping tent and some food. We're planning the third one for july-august 2019. Believe it or not, he is 63 years old!
That's perfect old school! Your das ain't old!!!
Sad is tnt bombe not old dad

This film and this song are more than a simple song and a film. The music and cinema universe wouldn't be the same after them....

Of course, times changes, generations changes, life style changes...but, 60-70-80' s music never dies, many of them already have been classics, even the youngest generations listening and doing new versions, just as exemple, who listening again and again Madonna, she passed, her music passed as many others, but our generations music seems as will live forever.
I’m a hiphop head, so this is my first time listening to this song entirely. I can hear why it’s a timeless classic
Music has no boundaries. When it comes from the heart, the soul and the guts, whatever the genre, it will hits you deep in someways. it resonnates within your cells.
This song doesn't need anything, it has everything to be one of the best of all time, it has courage, it has feeling and above all its fearless 💪 At my funeral 💀 want it played at full volume🤘

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way

Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

We can climb so high
I never wanna die

I Love this Movie so much and the Music. It never gets old watching this Movie.
I saw this movie several times on TV as a kid in the early 70s. At the time I had little idea what the plot was about, but it was wonderful dreamy escapist adventure, and the music was just perfect. Dennis Hopper, Pete Fonda and Jack Nicholson were like Gods on those crazy custom motorcycles out on endless sun kissed roads. This movie was like the perfect antidote to the gloomy grey skies and industrial dilapidation of Manchester, England where I was raised. The epic cinematography blended so beautifully with this legendary Steppenwolf anthem. It just captures a golden spirited hippy trippy age that I saw a little bit of in the late 60s and wished it had not faded so tragically (Manson murders, Altamont concert disaster, Vietnam etc…) and continued long enough for me me to travel to the US and trace the tracks of my movie heroes and smoke a little weed along the way 😂

I saw this movie in 1969 in a theater. My God! The ending shook me to my soul. It was a great movie and a must-see. My boyfriend owned a bike and we rode it everywhere. I was just a young thing back then and I loved him more than anyone else in my life. I'm 76 now and he would be a tad older. Are still alive, Steve? Thanks for the memories. Remember Brighton Dam?

TheBonScott33 i love you
TheBonScott33 Glad to hear it.. exactly what I did following a bad one many years ago that wasn't my fault.... It got me through the bad times.. I actually asked my family to bring in the then video I had of the film when I was allowed up off the spinal bed and I would go to the day room that had a tv and video player.. back in late 90's.. I ended up doing the advanced bike test to get my confidence back when I self discharged.... Hope it all works out for you.. I was in the NSIC at Stoke Mandeville, five months following NHS negligence after the accident.... told I would never walk again but ignored that and can stand and move now just limited mobility and heaps of pain, I still ride.. Once it's in the blood to ride it's usually there for life... All the best for a 100% recovery. Keep your sense of humour I was told and it worked.. good advise I am happy to pass on to a fellow fallen rider.
