"Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" is a song by Eagles guitarist Don Felder. It is the theme song of the animated film Heavy Metal. It is not to be confused with the song of the same title by Sammy Hagar, also included on the same movie soundtrack. The B-side, "All of You," is also a track on the movie's soundtrack album.
"Heavy Metal" was Felder's only solo chart hit. The song charted only in the United States, reaching number 43 on the Billboard Hot 100[1] and number 42 on Cash Box.[2] It spent four months on the pop charts. On the Mainstream Rock chart, "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" peaked at number five.[3]
