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.

I bring back to this song about 4-5 times per year and after 16 years it always feels like i hear it first time. So, if it works like you said, this song is realy good. :'D

@@jas31937I've got a copy of the original Den hardback signed by Corben. A legendary comic artist who left us so much amazing work, Rest in Peace Richard 😞
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.
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.

+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..
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ".

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...
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 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 👍
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!
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!
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????????
Bought the movie on VHS in the late 80s. Now I own it on DVD. Found it at Walmart for 6.00. I was to young to see in the theaters, I was 10 when it was released. All my older cousins would go see it all jacked up.
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.
@@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.
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

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.
David Frederick ah that sucks
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.
One of the best songs on the soundtrack . The Eagles ain't The Eagles without Don Felder .
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.
I need a fucking cat right now....
Dude don't do cheesing, do what Kenny does, get wasted on life.
let's bath with his daughter on Mount mammary with the Itty tatty fairies woo hoo
you can catch your son doing this if he say something like: "would you like go cheesing?" "I'ts time of cheese" and "dude i'm cheesing my brain off"
i know exactly what your cheesing about!
oh yea bitch...!
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 ".
Guys, I'm cheesing my f'n brains off!
I was gonna write this!!! Damn it!
Dude, I'm cheesing my F-ing brains out right now.
awww... :(
Maybe we should play drake now that's cheese
Nice
0:12 Kenny… my beloved
Pretty cool. It's amazing how somebody can take the simplest rhythm and dress it up so well that it becomes so uniquely beautiful and memorable
Love this music !!! Class of 1983…Rules 😎 40 yrs later 😃
LYRICS
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
Ride it until it explodes
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal
Heavy Metal
Support your Metal Health
This is hands down the best song on the movie.
This tunes is the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!! ever since hearin it its stuck in my head, all I hear 24 hours a day. Love it! 😊👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
kenny knows what this is all about
"Dude, I'm cheesing my F-ing brains out!"
The titties, maaaaannnn...

it's fon to due
Hi people...
I saw this movie a week after release.... One of the coolest things EVER MADE. Rock on Headbangers!!!
Fantastic song. I never get tired of this tune. Don Felder in concert is worth every nickel. Really terrific band/artist/songs.
I've been singing this song in my head for 3 days.
must be 3 years now 😅
This song is insanely good especially the intro
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!
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.
Juices go flowing to you know what when hearing this album. I loved it when it came out. It’s hot rockin for sure.
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.
My grandpa was a waist gunner on a B-17 in WW2. This song is how I picture what it was like.
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!
I was a teenager back when this came out.
I liked the Movie
Heavy Metal.
I still like this song in 2019.
✌🤓
2024 🇧🇷❤
How many people have actually seen this movie?
Airkillmaster13 hard to find . can be found worth it.
I have an original copy of this movie when I was in Japan because you couldn't buy it in the states
On acid, when it came out in the theatre.
Such a great movie, gotten baked and watched it numerous times
Its a classic, amazing animation. Watch it!
I've seen in the movie theater in 1983, and I have Blue Ray disc too... great movie... Don Felder is a guitar genius...
Clearly the best song in one of the coolest movies ever made. :)
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 know of no better highway cruisin' music......... Two thumbs WAY up
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"!!!!
One of the greatest tunes ever...
I just re watched South Park 12 Season.
Thank you Kenny showing me Heavy Metal is awesome.
I remember going to the movie theater when this came out with my buddies, tripping on some California Sunshine...
Great times!
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.
I watched it for the first time yesterday, pretty awesome and amazing soundtrack
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.
"Even in death, my power remains"
Bought the movie on VHS in the late 80s. Now I own it on DVD. Found it at Walmart for 6.00. I was to young to see in the theaters, I was 10 when it was released. All my older cousins would go see it all jacked up.
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.
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.
Got the best couch dance of my life from a dancer at the flint mi deja vu to this song!! Still replay it in my mind every day!! She was awesome!!
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
Very underrated guitarist!!!
Still have this on VHS along with The Wall , big hit at our house back in the 80s on A Saturday night
🌿🚬😮💨
take a ride, ride, ride on Heavy Metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rock & roll and I want to see sex drugs and rock & roll
This is the ultimate cruising down the boulevard song. Just drive really slow in your muscle car with this blasting and you're in heaven.
True. Also Judas Priest with Turbo and Heading out to the highway. Also Danger Zone!!!
First heard this as a teenager. Never heard it again till I got xm radio. Ozzy's Boneyard!! Awesome jam!!
100 degree heat and this song still gave me goosebumps.
One of the coolest songs ever written.
B-17 scene is honestly something that was awesome too see. I wish i could watch it for the first time again
The sad moment when this song ends ❤ It’s absolutely one of my all-time favorite kick ass songs, just saying.
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
It's like you're running your brain on some high octane
Every time she reaches fully blown
[Chorus]
Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes
Heavy metal
[Verse 2]
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
You just become a heavy metal believer
[Chorus]
Won't you take that ride on heavy metal?
It's the only way that you can travel down that road
Satisfied on heavy metal
Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes
