Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild

[@Sandsculptor]

In the summer of 1969 this song was released. At that time I was in a US Army helicopter unit, stationed at the Nha Trang Airbase. Whenever our Hueys were up in the air, if a good song came on our AFVN (Armed Forces Viet Nam) radio, the pilot would "plug" us into the sound and we'd all sing to the song, especially this one. It was the wildest time of my life, flying at tree top level so that the bad guys couldn't shoot us (we'd fly past them so fast they could not aim and shoot). We flew in the Central Highlands region from the coastal regions by the South China Sea, all the way up to the border of Cambodia and Laos. We partied hard and sang loud with all that our hearts could bare. We never knew if we had another day of life, so we celebrated the one day we were living. Now I'm 73, and I'm looking back and wondering how I survived that war. Thanks to musical groups like Steppenwolf for entertaining us back then and giving us hope for the chance to see another day...!!

@George Washington I'm sorry about your friend. I wish you could have too- amazing how a long ride can clear your head. I haven't been on the back of a bike for a long time, but I sure remember the feeling. My brother actually gave me my last ride. I hope that your friend doesn't linger... just too hard on everyone. I lost my 15 year old nephew in June and he was in a coma for a couple of weeks before being declared brain dead. It was hard to see, still hard to see his parents trying to regain a new way of life without him. With that said, we sure have to enjoy the good stuff in this life.

Peter Fonda noted it was Dennis Hopper who selected the Easy Rider Soundtrack. And Dennis modeled his Billy characterization after The Byrds David Crosby who was the epitome of Hippydom of the time, I shared that with David when he was on Facebook from time to time before he sadly recently passed on, I read his books as well when he was still with us.

I was at a concert i was about 11. Some people were standing in the chairs to see. I was as well so a guard walks by me and tells me to sit down. Beside me was a hells angel and his wife was doing the same thing. He gives the guard a dirty look and the guard just passes by him. So he smiles at me and tells me to get back up in the chair.

A toast to a fantastic song,of a fantastic era,and a tremendous band.Good old days.

[@JiveDadson]

I remember, as a DJ, going through a stack of new 45s in a production booth with my program director. When we auditioned this song, we just looked at each other. We instantly agreed that it would be the start of something big.

[@theseustoo]

This song virtually defined a generation! Great song! Fabulous movie! :D

[@GG-xu1yn]

Instantly takes me right back to those magical, irreplaceable, irrepressible 60s . . .

This is the first song I learned to play on the eletric guitar, first time I tried the distortion... Years later I totally forgot, so long ago... But right now, I still can feel the awe when I press play.

Reminds me of seeing Steppenwolf in concert. Love this group!

[@anthem1403]

This song kinda helped me and my uncle get along. I used to kinda dislike the fact that he was so rough on me and my family in the past. But one day I helped him fix his Harley, while fixing it, this song was playing in the background and we started jamming out to it. It was a good time.

[@Amoogus]

Your uncle is probably just a hardass. Ain't nothing bad. How old is he?

I remember this song being the "adventure theme song' of choice back in the 90's, when 60's nostalgia was at an all-time high.

This came out 20 years before I was born but this is the definitive Rock and Roll song for me.

The quintessential counterculture biker anthem immortalized in Easy Rider. I’ll always imagine Wyatt (Peter Fonda) and Billy (Dennis Hopper) riding their choppers into eternity after meeting a tragic end in the classic film -finally free from the intolerance and violence they encountered as depicted in the movie. RIP to both free spirits.

that's a fact bro ;) cheer up

[@JohnHoulgate]

I loved Blue Oyster Cult's live covers of this song with Eric Bloom riding onstage on a Harley and towards the end he and Buck Dharma rubbed guitar necks during the distortion jam. Just glorious stuff. I wouldn't say it's better than Steppenwolf's original; they caught the magic Steppenwolf birthed. They were also a big time biker band.

[@_KingofKingss]

Blue oyster cult is the most underrated band of all time they were every bit as great as led zeppelin

This was a sign of the times movie in '69. And yes, the song made us all want to jump on our bikes and take off across country-a travel dream that so many boomers have been realizing...altho in RVs or car camping, not on bikes (sleeping under the stars on rocks and hard dirt is somewhat overrated when you're 60-70 something.)The subtitles couldnt make heads or tales of Steppenwolf...made me laugh out loud... And whats with the downvotes? That's just gotta be someone who wasn't there.

I'd listened to that song with 7 years cause of my older sister. I'd listened to it through my childhood and youth. As adult I'd listened to it at many partys. And wtf - now I am almost 60 years old and still listen to it and it is the same great song since decades ✊✊✊
