Steppenwolf was my first album I asked my mom to purchase as a young teen back in the 70s. She looked at the cover, read the song list and blurted out “Screaming Night Hogs”! I knew then I picked the perfect band to start my journey to rock and roll forever 😂

Im 64 soon to be 65 and I Love Love Love Me some Steppin Wolf to this day. Jimi Hendrix and John Kay were really good friends and had a lot of mututal respect for one another..in may ways both were unassuming, Remarkable. "Monster" is STILL soo pertinent and relevant !! As Jimi used to say STAY FREE , STAY GROOVY!!

[@Volzotran]

I am 21, listen mainly to the many subgenres of metal, as well as Punk and Post-Punk, yet Steppenwolf feels like my favorite band despite being very different to the rest or well maybe that's why. I haven't heard a single bad song from them yet.

[@toddburris4311]

I’ve heard the two main songs all my life on the radio, but I started deep diving into their stuff in my late 20s, and now as a 46 year old, I still can’t get enough of them. They were definitely a one-of-a-kind band. They just had their own thing going, all the time.

The timing was perfect. I asked if he would sign a couple covers and he goes , sure. So i grabbed all of em and Jhon says , I thought you said a couple ,laughing. I said yeah a couple few. John signed every one of them while the guys checked out my bike. (55 pan on a 48 wishbone ,MT clutch ,fish tails ,apes , and their favorite colors , black over silver) That was alright of John to take the time to sign all the covers.
