Biography

Donald William Felder (born September 21, 1947 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American rock musician, best known as guitarist for The Eagles from 1974-2001, and for the distinctive “Hotel California” guitar solo. In 1983, he released a rock and roll album titled Airborne which to date remains his only solo LP, although he contributed the songs Heavy Metal (Takin’ A Ride) and All of You to the 1981 film “Heavy Metal” as well as the title track from the movie “Wild Life”. In 1985-86 he hosted a musical comedy show entitled FTV. In 1986 he wrote and performed all the music and the theme song to the animated series Galaxy High.

His song Heavy Metal (Takin a Ride) is used extensively in Season 12 Episode 3 of the cartoon tv show South Park. The song is heard in the episode during kenny’s hallucinations of which are a result of the ‘drug’ craze cheesing. Cheesing is the state acquired after one allows a cat to urinate in ones face.

    Some of the tracks are mislabeled here from "Airborne", I notice. Too bad the album is pretty much forgettable, so I guess it doesn't matter that much.

    South Park got me into this song, which got me into the movie. The movie is excellent, worth torrenting!

    It's cool if people found out about Heavy Metal through South Park, and yes it was cool and funny (ya haha cheese. haha boobage haha...jesus) but come one, stop leaving the same shouts and go watch the actual movie. It kicks more ass and is more original than any bullshit animation that's out now.

    Great Artist! Sadly i have to admit, that i found him thanks to south park, too. When i first (and later last) saw the originally Heavy Metal Movie i was way to young and unexperianced to admire this great music ; )
