Steppenwolf should have gotten into the Rocking Roll Hall of Fame on "Born to Be Wild "alone.
It was a cover
@@111oooo Are you saying that everyone in the HOF wrote their own songs?
@@ChrisBlair-ev3mp Not at all they took Born to a great level. Mars Bonfire's version really was not very good, Strppenwolf took it to a new level
@@111oooo So, you just wanted to make sure we all knew it was a cover, got it. But why do you feel it necessary to announce that out of the blue? Seems kinda weird.
The name Steppenwolf derives from the 1927 novel, Steppenwolf, by German author Hermann Hesse, which captures his struggle with isolation and spirituality at the time. The novel takes its name from the German word for steppe wolf, a species of grey wolves that live near the Caspian Sea.
💞
I was stuck at an airport in Japan in 1969, trying to get home from the Vietnam War. And this song was played everyday, every hour, over the Armed Forces Radio.
Thank you for serving sir! May God bless you.
My first concert. Love John May and protest music. Gotta listen to 'Monster'....it is epic.
‘Born to be Wild’ is probably their best known song.
Drving down the road in a big a** car with a v8 and this comes on the radio. Gonna be a good day
Or from your 8-track tape deck!
@@markdecker6190 yesssssss
Those were the Days. 74 years here, and I have seen them twice. The tune, "28" off the second album, one of my favorites,
66 here, just made it in! Great to have that experience! ❤
I love Steppenwolf! ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ is one of my favorite rock songs from the late 60’s. ‘Rock Me Baby” always made me upbeat!
I LOVE this song. You can't help but dance and headbang.
This was the 'B' side of the 'Born to be Wild' 45rpm!
"Born to be Wild," played in the soundtrack of the movie Easy Rider, has to be next on your list!
👍👍An awesome song and an awesome band. 🔥🔥🔥 🖖❤
That solo part was like he was taking her on that magic carpet ride. I was 10 years old when that song came out and I had that record . 💜☮🎶 Love peace and Rock -N- ROLL 😄
Remember what was happening in the US in those days with the Vietnam War, counter culture, and psychedelic influence on music. That "static radio noise" is part of the psychedelic, (which IS ACID ROCK) sound of the day.
To get the full effect you need to listen with headsets.
Too many headphone fans assume this. Let me, through 50+ years of audio experience offer this: a high quality, powerful, revealing high end audiophile system, assembled with know how, will present a soundstage, life sized, and musical, set up correctly in the right room - will blow you away and you will feel it in your chest in a way impossible with headphones, which provide the correct tones but none of the experience or impact of THEY ARE HERE!
And a big fat spliff don’t hurt nothin’ either 💨💨💨💨
@@TommyLMason And honestly, some top quality LSD, like back in the days.... 😇
@@GregoireCoste Yeah, but don’t eat the brown paper man, it’s baaaad!! 😵💫
Steppenwolf was a novel written in 1920
1927
Having a rough day...then you danced. Warms my heart when reactors actually get into the Music I grew up on! ❤
"It was almost like a acid trip!" 🤣 Brutha that's exactly what it was! A lot of strung out hippies and other druggies were jammin' to this song back in the day! Can you imagine gettin' high and listening to this song? It would really blow your mind! Not that I was one of them people high while listening to it but I know a lot of people that were! Thanks for doing the reaction, crazy memories of that era!
Both enhanced each other….js
"Monster" will blow you away.
I love Monster. I glad you mentioned it and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it yet. It is surely their most significant piece.
Saw them in concert and they did much of the stuff from Monster. Did NOT do Magic Carpet Ride, so there was a modicum of disappointment.
Monster is one of their finest songs - great live as well as the studio version
"Hey Lawdy Mama" is my favorite Steppenwolf song.
Great song!
I AGREE, more psychedelic. Im not a fan of acid rock, and I have LOVED this for years now!
Steppenwolf is also the name of a book.
By Hermann Hesse
“Born to be wild” & “the pusher” are two killers!
Best with headphones
Another great band made in Canada (eh).
The World was introduced to the band thanks to the movie Easy Rider, and their song Born to be Wild.
Oh, back then FM radio was very new, and in order to get a song on AM, it had to be around 3 mins. A lot of songs got butchered to get on the radio.
You know that John Kay was born in Germany, right?
@@joenewman7474 Yes, but the band formed in Canada.
These guys didn't quit, they moved on. Each one of them, are masters of everything they choose to record. Why don't you check out the different paths followed; you won't be disappointed.!
Great Band, great music! Got the church organ in there too, whats not to love with this jam!!!
I recommend "Born To Be Wild" and "The Pusher".
I was going to mention those. I’d add “Don’t Step on the Grass, Sam.”
Hell yes
Steppenwolf are icons! This song is so awesome! Love your reaction!
We played this at our hippie parties back in ‘69 & into the 70’s!! I’m a Motown girl first - as well as great rock & psychedelic from back then. We had so much fun with all the different sounds, the best time to live!
Thanks for reacting to this magic song from a magic band 💎🍭🍭🍭🍄💥💥🎸🥁🎸🥁
Rockin’ out there! Don’t blame you at all. You can’t ask for better and then they have Born to Be Wild as well! Another legendary song.
Song has been in so many movies!!!
Oh the memories this brings back! For a totally different sound from Steppenwolf you should do Snowblind Friend. A heavy song about a heavy subject, but one of my favorites!
You just reminded me of another heavy one: The Pusher. I was a fan back in the 1970s and had a few of their albums. Hearing this one again brought back the great vibes!
@johnrule1607 I love that one too. Sitting in my brother's best friend's "party room" with only the black lights on, smoking pot and listening to Steppenwolf. Great times!
Steppenwolf means literally plains wolf or coyote in German
25 million in 4 years is really good. Check out the Beatles stats. I've heard a number as high as 800 million. Not one of the Beatles had reached 30 years old at the time of disbanding. For psychedelic try "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Beatles)
It's got a groove for sure intermixed with some amazing keyboards and some crazy interlude jams imagine a song like this being top 10 today.. never :) thanks man .. i haven't heard this one for a lot of years. you rule
lol great reaction to the coolest beat ever.
That be my cousin Michael on lead guitar. I remember what his mom, my aunt, said about the name of this band. She was adorable, lol. The band breakup was messy, I was told. He’s still playing, though.
As in Michael Monarch? If so, I saw him with the World Classic Rockers many years ago.
Yes, we went to see the World Classic Rockers a few times, great shows! He kept that band up for quite a while.
He has a UA-cam channel called Peyton Monarch band.
Know the guy that ran the mixing board for them. This guy has the original organ from Steppenwolf in his studio.
That was it, an acid trip! This is one of my all-time favorites
This song took you on a trip!
Steppenwolf was the name given to any of the two large canids - wolves and/or coyotes - by German settlers in the Great Plains region of the U.S. in the 1800's. It literally means "wolf of the steppes" (steppes being open grasslands)
i met JOHN KAY in the 2000 s- he was super cool and told me a couple cool stories from back in the day
Let's hear them!
Thank you !!!!! Popular when I was a teenager , loved this song !!!!! One of the best ever !!!!!
my fave Steppenwolf song! dbl ♥
I know you don’t read our comments but this is hands down one of your better reactions. Growing up around hippies, this band has a special place in my heart.
My favorite Steppenwolf is an lesser known - Jupiter Child
Psychedelic Rock from my childhood.
the version that makes you groove is the right version, everytime
Born to be Wild, written by Canadian Mars Bonfire (not his given name)
I've seen them Live, And it Sounds Sooooo Good!!!🔥🔥🔥
I got the see Steppenwolf live one time, at a place called Pepper Land.
Well, you just got me high again! ;0)
Ya know how people in our generation would be like “we should get high and go see ‘insert 3D movie’” well this was this generations version of that lol psychedelic rock had all kinds of those random trippy sounds popping off
Patty- That has always been my favorite Steppenwolf song. I was in High School when this song came out.
that's mean guitar distortion...liked and subbed just because this is a song from my childhood and your reaction was on point
It’s about the coming of stereo sound.
So glad you listened to the extended version. My mom and I had this album and I used to be so disappointed when the radio station would cut out all that crazy interesting stuff in the middle.
This song used to be on every jukebox in every titty bar in the South back in the '70s. Long before DJs. lol
If the description was about the bands sound in general, rather than just this song, well for example Born to Be Wild definitely has some early hard rock in it. It was also a massively huge hit and I bet you would like it.
If you listen to Born to Be Wild, don't miss the lyric "heavy metal thunder". It may be the first use of heavy metal applied to music!
Sounds great to you. Try it with headphones. It will blow you away. Peace out.
FYYYYYRRRRRR!!! LOL 💯😊YOU KNOW IT MOB!
THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL MOB! 😊REMEMBER EVERYTHING IN MUSIC WAS REAL💯, NOT FAKE AND PHONY BACK IN THESE DAYS, JUST SO VERYYYYY CREATIVE MANY BANDS WERE!👍
You’ve probably heard snippets of Born to be Wild. Where’s your ear🎧gear!? You gotta give this song another listen and take a mind trip using audio enhancements
They made albums through 1976. Good stuff.
Yeah rookie we've heard that guitar effect... I'm glad you enjoyed it
Steppenwolf! Cult novel by Hermann Hesse! Woot, now there's a teenage reminder for damn sure
Saw Steppenwolf (John Kay) opening for Alvin Lee in the late 90's and he still sounded great! Yeah, you might want to check out "The Pusher", an excellent song written by the great Hoyt Axton
That static radio noise at the beginning you never heard anybody do before. Well now you have
The number of albums sold are updated numbers, including CD sales. These bands didn’t sell that many records in just those few years they were together. These sales numbers are from decades of sales.
I talked to Charlie Wolf who was their manager for many years and he said that 25 million has to be a LOT more than that, it's been stuck at 25 million for many years!!
PSYCHEDELIC ROCK WINDOW MOB! ( 67-70 ) 😊THEIR HUGE HIT AND YOU MAY KNOW IT : BORN TO BE WILD 👍SO YEAH MOB, ENJOYYYYYY!
Steppenwolf is a character in Norse mythology.
Acid rock at its finest.
If you want to hear the ultimate Steppenwolf, listen to 'Monster'. 👍
The 60s had some really good songs
For this song, you must use headphones
my fave steppenwolf song, unecessary trip-out section in the middle though
Check out the band called Cream . Enjoy !!!
You should listen to it, tripping on Acid 😀
The start is feedback from a guitar and amplifier. Steppenwolf was king of using feedback in their songs.
Go find 'The Pusher' by them. Or 'Don't Step On The Grass Sam'.
Do as the song says: close your eyes and enjoy the Magic Carpet Ride.
This always seemed like a light version of Pink Floyd echoes. Yeah have to hear it. It’s life-changing.
2024...My two lava lamps fire up...headphones...let's go
song about acid trip
I think that was a guitar chord with a super fuzz effect, not radio static but I could be wrong. If you're up for something heavy, try "The Pusher". That instrumental break on this version is a long series of acid-influenced solos on the album that were cut out for AM radio
That syncopation is FIRE
The Pusher is so good
The Pusher.
Yeah. That's a heavy one.
Written by Hoyt Axton, along with Snow Blind Friend and Joy to the World, covered by Three Dog Night.
Can't find that sound today without unplugging from modern equipment, takes a classic guitar and amp recorded on classic reel to reel only way to reproduce it ❤. No auto tune, no computer clean up. Pure original sound ❤. I prefer the old records and nothing like vinyl ❤❤. 😅 You don't know what you have missed. Try Pink Floyd
There ya go brother ... keep slapping those eb's 'n' ivories! ... 🎹
**The comment below is from a person who had the rare opportunity of knowing the wife of John Kay and then hearing the backstory of #MAGIC CARPET RIDE from her also.**[Songfacts]
"Big Bbc from Los Angeles ...
I hate to burst everyone’s bubble about magic carpet ride being about drugs. Ha! It was not!!
In the early 80s I was acquainted with John Kay’s wife and himself. She had invited me and a friend of mine to a small venue intimate Steppenwolf concert. Just her, myself, and my friend sat at a small table center stage... As we were talking before the concert began, I asked her what the song magic carpet ride was about. She said... “A lot of people think it was about drugs. It’s not!!....
.... It was about a really Bitchin quadraphonic stereo system that John had just set up in their living room.
In the middle of the room was a very large Persian rug (hence, Magic Carpet Ride, and Aladdin). John sat on the carpet in the middle of the room with the stereo cranked up, letting “The sound take him away“.... which inspired him to write the song “ Magic carpet ride“. Make any sense to y’all now? Ha!
Also, the “ Little girl“ in the song was his wife, who he called over to sit with him on the rug and experience the new Bitchin sound system!
Music is supposed to take you away. Right?... It takes you on a journey.
Funny how if you tell a lie long enough, It becomes the truth to most people. Kind of like that man-made global warming B.S. that most people have wound up buying into. Ha!
Well, that should clear up that misnomer! Just the facts Jack!
Maybe next time I’ll debunk the Beatles Lucy in the sky with diamonds song being about an acid trip. Which it was not! Ha!"
Great reaction!
More songs #STEPPENWOLF ..

John and Jutta have been married since... forever? They met in 1965. Going on 60 years.
Love watching you enjoy the listen. You can’t listen and not groove….gotta go onto magic carpet ride.
The 7" single version cuts out most of the instrumental section.
I'm glad my Mom had these albums. Try Don't Step on the Grass Sam.
Saw Steppenwolf in Dec ‘69 in Memphis TN…fronted by the Turtles and the Byrds…they were the shit then.
Other commenters explained the origin of the name but the band didn't choose it because of any connection with the novel, it was just an awesomely cool name. Although it was required reading in the counterculture. Kinda dense actually. John Kay was actually German and legally blind. The greatest rock singer ever. The noise was feedback. Jefferson Airplane did that too to introduce songs
John Kay has a biography he published about 15 years ago, IIRC, and he writes about growing up in Eastern side of Germany after WWII, needing eye surgery, and his family's getting him over/under/through/around the Berlin Wall and to Canada, where surgery partially restored his vision. He has an incredible memory for detail.
@@raygunsforronnie847 Kay never had eye surgery, he just needed better food and nutrition and doctors that he didn't have where he was at 5 years old. I asked him about 12 years ago why he didn't have to wear the shades anymore and he said "we finally realized if we had the lights coming from BEHIND me it doesn't bother me". I asked him if he had any eye work done like Lasik or anything else and he said "no, nothing would help" and I believe that, sadly.
Great reviews!
I saw these guys in a bar in the 80s but passed out in my chair the entire time. Their name is the title of a Herman Hesse book.
I gave this 45 record to my girlfriend for her birthday in the early 70,s
A lot of trips happened back then😊
I think that was the album version. No, wait - The singing at the end makes it the 45. Definitely Maybe.
