A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ CZcams. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of CZcams I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on CZcams won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This CZcams channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

Magic Carpet Ride! Steppenwolf
Yeah. Magic Carpet Ride and maybe Sookie Sookie. It's little bit lower tier after that. Good stuff, just not killer.
Lambda Chi Alpha.
Definitely “Magic Carpet Ride”
One of my top 10 favorite all time songs.
Great call!
Steppenwolf is the band. The singer's name is John Kay. Other excellent options are Monster, The Pusher, Magic Carpet Ride, Sookie Sookie, Rock Me, or Hey Lawdy Mama.
OMG I forgot about The Pusher. LOL
Hell, just watch the movie..it's worth it.
Not to be cynical, but I've never met a millennial that gets the movie.
It's sad that exploring the world isn't a priority anymore 😢
Watch the movie "Easy Rider". It's a classic.
I we gonna say the same thing. Great movie.
Back in the day, real actor rode real bikes without stunt doubles and the bike joined to the back of a camera truck.
Watch the film. When my son saw it he just didn't understand my explanation of why what happened at the end.
Spoiler
I said it was due to their long hair.
"They'll talk to ya & talk to ya about individual Freedoms" !
@@richarddixon7276 My favorite was when they walked into the diner, everybody stared, and the girl said, "Are you a freak?"
Everyone at the time was supposed to look a certain way. Now nobody cares if a man has long hair, or how anyone dresses or looks. It's a lot better.
This song is an Anthem for motorcycle lovers.
Steppenwolf had loads of really fantastic tracks from 1969/70’s. Real progressive group. Don’t step on the grass, The Pusher, Magic Carpet Ride, Corina Corina. etc.
The line "heavy metal thunder", now you know where the term Heavy Metal came from for heavy metal music. In the song, John Kay is referring to motorcycles.
It was written by Mars Bonfire and it was actually written about him buying a Ford Falcon and the freedom that he experienced from it, it just morphed into the biker thing as time went on. There is a video on CZcams about it, plug in interview with Mars Bonfire and it should come up, he explains the whole story.
It's been in tons of movies, tv shows, and commercials, including Easy Rider where this clip came from.
The name comes from Herman Hesse's book "Steppenwolf"
I've noticed a flaw that keeps repeating itself. When you start playing a song & you click the "full screen" button, (from the viewers end) the video & audio cut off and take several seconds to resynchronize. I don't know if this doesn't happen on your end, which may be why this hasn't been fixed. It happened AGAIN on this song & I was pissed because this song starts off right away. So by the time it resynchronized, we (the viewers) missed the opening lines of the song. We ALL would appreciate that SOMETHING be done to fix this problem ASAP.
I thought maybe he does that as a way to avoid it being blocked because though 99% of the song is played, there's this one part that isn't.. but I could be wrong.
Ok..so it's not just me then
I think you're memory is on target about the Super bowl Bud ad.
"Magic Carpet Ride" "The Pusher"
Steppenwolf -"Magic Carpet Ride" or "Monster"
Steppenwolf is a word that means 'Wolf of the Steppes,' and a German guy named Hermann Hesse wrote a novel called Steppenwolf.
Definitely Magic Carpet Ride!!
Still recommending
Chicago- 25 or 6 to 4 (amazing guitar solo)
Yes - Roundabout (your head will explode)
Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (a mix of styles and instruments unlike anything you've heard so far)
Saying again: all great picks!
sure you have heard it. its been used as backround music for about 90% of scenes involving people riding motorcycles for the last 50 years or so lol
Another Bikers anthem , I love it !
Check out Steely Dan: "Reelin' in the years."
Steely Dan. A class act group~
The movie you're seeing is Easy Rider, a 1969 film starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, one of the greatest biker/counterculture films of its generation. And yeah, you probably have heard the song before, it's been an advertising staple for YEARS, helping to sell everything from Motorcycles to Diapers
The best part of the movie is a very young Jack Nicholson. I think it was his first larger movie role and he's hilarious.
One of my favourite tracks from my favourite bands and my favourite film from 1969. This gives you the feel of the time and what we lost !!!
Seen them live in Chicago in 1973 or 74! Great concert! And I agree, "we" had some great music and times!
This is like... the most used song (in commercials) ever. It's impossible to don't know at least its chorus.
Rock Band! Magic carpet ride next. Steppen Wolf yeah!
Steppenwolf "Move over" and "Who Needs Ya" and lots of other great tunes from the late sixties.
The greatest song of all time
Steppenwolf is an amazing band. The scenes are from the movie Easyrider with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Had the honor to see. Steppenwolf live. Music legends live.
This was the last song of the last set a band I was in would play every gig. Everyone loved it and were energized hearing and dancing to it.
When I was 13 in 1968 I heard this group Steppenwolf and John Kay who moves like a snake in his tight leather pants in concert. And I fell in love with Steppenwolf. Magic Carpet Ride is my favorite song from them. In concert, they played 15 minutes on that song alone. A 4 hour concert btw. Definitely Steppenwolf are one of gods of Rock n' Roll. Also listen to "The Pusher."
There is nothing as exhilerating as driving down the road, windows down, and listening to this song!
Yes, Steppenwolf has more songs worth checking out for sure. But the images are from the movie 'Easy Rider', and while I would strongly recommend you watch that sometime and experience for yourself whatever it means to you, the soundtrack is definitely one of the greatest collections of music from that era (late 60's). Every song on it is a classic!
@DonZ I was a young teen during that era . Movie is still relevant and Soundtrack was perfect but I have to say if you live in a legal marijuana state either/and/or medical recreational --.” Don’t Bogart That Joint My Friend ! “
@@dagnabbit6187I must admit I'm kinda jealous :)
I grew up in the 80s with this soundtrack being one of my favorite records in my parents' collection. Psychedelic songs like 'If you want to be a bird' really sparkled my young mind... They were so utterly weird, and so much fun to listen to! 'Play that bird song again, dad! Pleeeeease?'
I must have been about 16 when I first saw the movie (with my dad). By the time I reached my twenties (Early 00's), it really started to hit home with me. Things seemed awfully off, but the pop culture of my own time did not seem to reflect this... (or maybe I failed to find the part of it that did). Rock, metal, even hiphop (which had been great protest music in the early 90's).... They seemed pretty happy with how things were going. Not me, though.
So I dove deep into the 60s counterculture as it reflected so much of what was happening in my mind as a young adult. Easy Rider became sort of a gospel for me. Every time I watched it, I discovered a new scene or line that felt so true. It was so much more relevant to me than any movie that I could watch in the cinema.
And all my friends have watched it at least once. 'Cause I made them (you might say I was a bit of a pusher...). Quite a lot felt the same as I did. That it was relevant to our experience, while also being so much a snapshot of its time.
I believe that this movie is timeless in its message and philosophy and will remain so.
(ps, It has become a bit of a rule between my friends here in the Netherlands that when you're sharing a joint, the only way to hint someone is hanging on to it too long: reference 'don't Bogart that joint'. Hum it, sing it or whistle the melody... Straight out asking is rude and will get you nowhere. Same if you want someone to 'roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooll another one')
@@mrjules1982 Well thanks for replying . Culture is tied in with the March of time for better or for worse . In early 70s there were two breakthrough films about Law Enforcement . They were The French Connection starring Gene Hackman and Serpico starring Al Pacino . Masterpieces . A decade later we got Beverly Hills Cop starring Eddie Murphy . Oh Well . The cliche . It is what it is . Still I urge you to see French Connection and Serpico if you haven’t.
@@dagnabbit6187 Thank you. I haven't watched those, but I will take this recommendation to heart.
Easy Rider is an iconic counter-culture film from 1969. The Pusher by Steppenwolf is also on the soundtrack.
There is always magic when a Hammond B3 is played through Leslie speakers.
Leslies rule.
Please listen to One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Song by George Thorogood & The Destroyers
"Look man, come down here."
From Steppenwolf's wiki page, Born To Be Wild is sometimes described as the first heavy metal song, and the second verse lyric "heavy metal thunder" marks the first use of this term in rock music (although not as a description of a musical style but rather a motorcycle). But that morphed into a description of hard rock music that has been with us ever since.
Steppenwolf is a very underrated band. Their album "Steppenwolf the Second" is awesome. I highly recommend listening to what is called the b-side medley of that album. Others of theirs you should check out are "Move Over", "Draft Resister", "Earschplittenloudenboomer", "Tighten Up Your Wig", "Rock Me", "Round and Down", and of course the very famous "Magic Carpet Ride".
Fun fact: because the percussion featured an unusualy heavy amount of cymbal use for the time, this was the first song in History to be described as heavy metal.
The nerd in me loved how the Star Trek franchise used "Magic Carpet Ride" to play when they made their first warp speed flight and attracted the notice of aliens :-).
Blast from the past. Great music never gets old just better.
This song was written by the brother of the drummer (Jerry Edmonton) and has been used in more commercials and movies than any other song I believe. Don't quote me on that but it's been used massively. Mostly Canadian band - used to have the Hells Angels as free security for their concerts because of this song. The Pusher that Steppenwolf made famous is a song by Hoyt Axton and was also covered by the amazing Nina Simone. Slow Flux was a very underrated album by them and John released an album after the OG band broke up called Forgotten Songs and Unsung Heros - it has a fantastic version of Walkin Blues on it.
My brother and I would be doing homework at the dining room table with albums playing. As soon as we'd hear this song, we'd look at each other, jump up and hop in his car to cruise for a little while. It was this song that brought the phrase "heavy metal" into common use.
Your reaction to Neil Pearts" solo was priceless
James, this act, Steppenwolf, was the first concert I ever attended. I think I was a freshman in high school that would’ve made it 1979 or 1980. They hadn’t had a hit in a really long time so they had trouble filling 1000 seat hall. Still the concert rocked. Great show, a lot of fun.
When Steppenwolf was playing the bars in San Francisco you could guarantee Hell's Angels would be there, this was their band!
Their greatest hits album was a staple growing up. Listen to it in its entirety.
The short version of part of this song's history is that "Heavy Metal Thunder" was coined as a phrase in this song and when applied to certain early bands like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin "Heavy Metal" was born as a genre.
This song had been in a lot of movies/commercials. Golden oldie.
Commercials, TV shows, and movies have all sampled this song
Steppenwolf Hard Rock Band Back In 60s & 70s Great Songs 😀👍🏼
One of my favorite songs!! Ever! A moment in time!!
These guys were so symbolic of the hippie days, and drugs, and great music! They epitomized that free spirit of the times, and this movie was an appropriate backdrop for them. See this classic film, (Easy Rider), and you'll be blown away! I won't give it away, but you'll trip on it!
Born To Be Wild's been licensed all over the place-- I think Geico might've used it for one of their ad campaigns.
I would bet that he knows it from the Geico commercials. Geico tends to use it for awhile, but stops using it before people get sick of it. Just to start using it once again a few years later Then it’s just rinse and repeat.
Glad you liked "Born to be Wild." Try "God.... the Pusher Man" and "Desperation" also from that first album. Steppenwolf was a band - lead singer John Kay. I personally like "A Girl I Knew," but the cd sounds nothing like the record. After the pandemic I have to get a stereo again.
Check out "God is a Bullet" by Concrete Blonde. Steppenwolf was one of the most influencial bands of the late 60's/early 70's. They have done many great songs. The fact that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is proof that the Hall of Fame is bogus bullshit.
Seeing this video is like seeing myself in real life...riding since 1996.
Ride to live, live to ride ;D
This is truly an oldie but goodie.🔥🔥🔥🍻.
Steppenwolf The Pusher and Snow Blind Friend
Congrats, on the 41,000 Subs, you got this...Fun Fact: With the line "heavy metal thunder," this became the first popular song to use the phrase "heavy metal," which became a term for hard rock. Explaining how he came up with the song, Bonfire said: "I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard one day and saw a poster in a window saying 'Born to Ride' with a picture of a motorcycle erupting out of the earth like a volcano with all this fire around it. Its what I called southern rock, beer drinking, biking music. Love it, Thanx James
Very famous song. I believe it was most recently in a car commercial. Many well known Steppenwolf songs.
You have heard it on TV, radio and any other medium. The song has been played billions of times world over for 50 ish years. Cheers!
This song has been used a few movies, tv shows and commercials. Another song from the movie "Easy Rider" is "The Weight" from The Band. I'm glad you used the movie version. Other songs that I think are great with the movie are. "Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on My Head" - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and "I got a name" Django unchained.
Great movie, a real picture of what hippies went through...
"The weight" by: the band
I live less than a mile from that paul bunion statue filmed in the opening scene. It still sits there to this day on stone Ave in tucson az
IT' IS ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!
Classic Canadian rock!!!! My fav is Magic Carpet Ride
Classic Band.... Classic Movie!!! Actors ACTUALLY riding their bikes..Not setting on a trailer or filming in a studio!!! Thanks for expanding your musical horizons!! Please, Check out their song Magic Carpet Ride, or Sookie Sookie...THEN when you THINK you are ready try ""THE PUSHER" by them...then after you do, try to get your head around the fact that the guy that wrote that song was the guy that starred in the movie "The Gremlins"!!!
the song was used in a few commercials. recently, baby diapers. not sure which one, pampers or huggies or something
Bit of trivia, the handlebars on Peter Fonda’s ride are called Ape Hangers
This is the intro to the movie Easy Rider. It's also been in other movies, TV shows and has been recorded and played live by many other bands.
They created the term Heavy Metal.😎
try, "The pusher", and "Magic Carpet Ride", both excellent tunes from Steppenwolf :)
Magic Carpet Ride is my favorite, and the Pusher.
If any song then was, this was a defining anthem on what the 60s were!
And of course u hv heard it before!!
Try their Magic Carpet Ride
It is a group, they are very good.
Greater biking / driving song if you like this then try RADAR LOVE by Golden Earing...
Easy Rider is a spectacular movie!! Worth watching!!! You've heard it in movies, commercials, etc.
Listen to the B-52s, Love Shack, Dance this Mess Around, Rock Lobster, etc.
The term "heavy metal" was first used in these lyrics ("heavy metal thunder"). You should watch the movie "Easy Rider."
It was in a Geico Commercial recently.
Not a guy, but the name of the Band. "Born to be wild" was the outlaw Biker's anthem. Hell's Angles and all of the other Biker groups. Every Biker bar in America played this song. This clip is from the movie "Easy Rider." It was used as a sound track in the movie. Google "Easy Rider."
Steppenwolf, 'Magic Carpet Ride'.
The Guess Who, 'No Time'.
70's road trip song. Awesome song, Awesome group ❤
The Association, 'Along Comes Mary'.
Classic Canadian Rockers.
This video was from Easy Rider, a movie!
Ah, this brings back such wonderful memories of my college days! ~~ Thanks for the reaction!
I wonder how many speeding tickets have been issued because this song came on the radio when people are driving.
Its been used in a ton of commercials, tv shows and movies.
suggestions for magic carpet ride are good ones. These guys had more hits in their day than anyone. Also try "the pusher", "snowblind Friend", and Jupiter's child"
My dating years! 😊 💕
"Yes-Starship Trooper 1973"
If it has not been mentioned yet, singer John Kay is legal blind and totally monochromatic color blind.
He is an interesting fella, talked for a few hours one night in Little Rock
Magic Carpet Ride!
I truly admire your wide range of interest James. To put you to the test, please react to This Mortal Coil's 'Song To The Siren', originally written and performed by Tim Buckley.
You might of heard the song in the 90s movie Wild America it was pretty popular back in the day.
The chorus is in a million commercials.
Currently starring in a GEICO commercial near you ...
It's probably been "sampled" a lot. It's a biker's anthem. I should know I met my sons dad in an MC.
There is an insurance commercial playing right now with this song in it.
Great opinion its a ten. Here is another ten: Magic Carpet Ride. And The Pusher, a 9 in my book.
And one day, check out the band WAR and - Why Can't We be Friends? War reminds me of Steppenwolf a little. WAR has other hits like Low Rider, Spill The Wine, Cisco Kid, and Slippin' Into Darkness.
And a great one hit wonder is Dr John and Right Place Wrong Time
Want an out of the box banger of this vein: Wait a Million Years - the Grass Roots
