Under the influence of Steppenwolf and Freud: Does my cover of Born to be Wild work? Are we Born to be Wild?
My Musical Journey: Entry 2:
Hey all of you classic and modern rock fans out there. I was wondering if you could offer me some advice on this cover of Born to be Wild, a song I recently recorded as a tribute to Steppenwolf. The preliminary feedback I've received so far is that the hard-edged psychedelic guitar doesn't go with the laid-back, acoustic style I've introduced in my reinterpretation of the song. Does the guitar work "work" for you? Or does the song require a more unplugged, acoustic guitar solo to accompany the rhythm guitar. Also, what else, if anything does the song require instrumentally. Now for the psychological question. Are human beings Born to be Wild? That is, are we, like Freud suggested, governed by our instinctual drives, in accordance with the primary process, or do we, as humanist psychologists and theorists suggest ,govern our behavior according to a drive for self-actualization? 2 comments from 2 users

Having been weened on rocks bands such as Them, The Animals etc... I have to say that accoustics on this song don't work at all. Then again I'm a purist and hate it when someone takes a great rock song and tries to turn it into some sort of ballad. Not that your guitar work wasn't good, but to me, it just doesn't fit this song. posted by

Thanks, I appreciate your constructive criticism. I can always use that. People who provide such feedback are kind of like monitor speakers. A singer/songwriter may sound a certain way to him/herself, but the audience may be hearing something quite different. Thanks again.
