Top 10 Best Metal Driving Songs
This is a list of the best hard rock, punk, and most importantly, heavy metal driving songs.
-
Wherever I May Roam - Metallica
This song is about being on the road! Plus, it's such a great song.
It should be number one.
Really, anything Metallica does is great. Almost every song they've done is some of the best metal out there.
Every song delivers pure electric adrenaline!
Good song. Why did someone say it was a Maiden song?
-
Highway Star - Deep Purple
The best driving song ever. But it's not a hard rock song.
It's one of the first metal songs, if you know the difference.
In my opinion, the best driving hard rock song and a masterpiece by the creators of Hard Rock and Metal!
Classic Heavy Metal driving masterpiece from the '70s alongside Zeppelin's Immigrant Song. But much better.
For me, Purple is always over Zeppelin.
-
Walk - Pantera
This song, even though the title is Walk, not Drive, is still such a good song and is great for driving.
-
Fuel - Metallica
-
Freewheel Burning - Judas Priest
Really good song from one of the greatest Metal bands of all time! Again, sort of about driving.
-
Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle) - Limp Bizkit
Well, another car or driving song. It's really great if you love Nu Metal or Rap Metal.
-
Death Alley Driver - Rainbow
-
The Four Horsemen - Metallica
-
I Speed at Night - Dio
-
Bad Habit - The Offspring
This song may make you drive angrily, I don't know. It is about road rage.
But "when I go driving, I stay in my lane!"
They're Punk Rock, but hey, it's a good song.

Ghost Division - Sabaton
Ever wanted to feel like you're driving a tank at 60 mph down the freeway? Thanks to one of Sabaton's most recognizable songs, now you can!
-
?
Supremist - Slayer
It is fast, and the riff in the intro sounds so COOL!
-
Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold
Another song about driving (sort of), a song about Las Vegas. But watch the music if you don't see the driving connection.
-
The Killing Road - Megadeth
Great Heavy Metal song, really good for driving and just for listening anytime, really.
-
Ride the Sky - Helloween
-
1000 Miles - Grinspoon
If you haven't heard of Grinspoon, please do yourself a favor and look them up. They are Australian and amazing.
This is a great song. They have many better ones, but this is by far the best for driving.
-
Road to Asylum - Primal Fear
-
Turbo Lover - Judas Priest
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury…
Changing gear, I pull you tighter to me…
-
Black Sunshine - White Zombie
-
Kickstart My Heart - Mötley Crüe
Umm, another song that isn't metal.
-
Heading Out to the Highway - Judas Priest
-
Riding the Eagle - Primal Fear
-
Nailed to the Wheel - Edguy
A great song, and its chorus is mega-cool! "Nailed, nailed to the wheel …"
-
Got the Life - Korn
Super catchy, and the music video does have driving in it. However, it's not recommended as they trash a Ferrari F355 in an epic jump and give their luxury Mercedes away to a window washer.
-
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
This was an obvious choice for this list for a few reasons:
1. It's an amazing song!
2. It's AC/DC.
3. It has Highway in its name, so it therefore must be a driving song.
-
Wildest Dreams - Iron Maiden
-
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
