Well...it was a line in the song Born To Be Wild referring to the sound of hogs/motorcycles.....personally I don't think Steppenwolf was a metal band or even a father of metal.....a great band at one time nevertheless.

Blue Oyster Cult used to do a cover of "Born to be Wild" though my fave Steppenwolf song was "Magic Carpet Ride"...they had a great hard rock organ sound but I never considered them metal of any kind.

I think I have a version of that by BOC on one of their remastered cd's....Magic Carpet was my favorite too by Steppenwolf. I saw BOC recently near Valparaiso University in Indiana ...sadly they did not do Born To Be Wild.

Steppenwolf was included in VH1's origins of metal show (years ago) just because of that lyric.

I think "Born to be Wild" was on their 70's live album "On Your Feet or On Your Knees" Wink

I think some of us are forgetting that Metal and Prog Metal are 2 totally different genres of music.

^ True, though there's a school of thought that says Metal itself was progressive rock; that is to say, at the time, those pioneering metal - Zep, Sabbath, Priest, maybe Rush, etc. - were also creating a progressive form that was evolving parallel to Prog and rock-fusion.

You have a point here and it's a valid one at that, but to my ears I feel that Prog metal and metal sound so vastly different whereby I personally feel those to types of music don't really sound very similar to me at all, so i would list them as separate from one another. But, I do see your point and can understand how a lot of people would agree with you, but I don't here....for once.
