‘Born to be Wild’ is probably their best known song.

[@xScooterAZx]

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.

[@beeseewill2407]

Steppenwolf should have gotten into the Rocking Roll Hall of Fame on "Born to Be Wild "alone.

[@111oooo]

It was a cover

[@eddiemeeks7133]

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.

[@hereticzealot]

Thank you for serving sir! May God bless you.

[@junebug_tx2305]

My first concert. Love John May and protest music. Gotta listen to 'Monster'....it is epic.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Drving down the road in a big a** car with a v8 and this comes on the radio. Gonna be a good day

[@markdecker6190]

Or from your 8-track tape deck!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

@@markdecker6190 yesssssss

[@rafehr1378]

Those were the Days. 74 years here, and I have seen them twice. The tune, "28" off the second album, one of my favorites,

[@cindysimpson1046]

66 here, just made it in! Great to have that experience! ❤

[@karenmandeville7116]

Steppenwolf was a novel written in 1920

[@xScooterAZx]

1927

[@paulward1799]

This was the 'B' side of the 'Born to be Wild' 45rpm!

[@johnrule1607]

"Born to be Wild," played in the soundtrack of the movie Easy Rider, has to be next on your list!

[@dragon-shepherd]

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.

[@andreasmith6528]

I LOVE this song. You can't help but dance and headbang.

[@thomasmalmin6194]

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)

[@suzie4417]

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 💎🍭🍭🍭🍄💥💥🎸🥁🎸🥁

[@IAMisLove]

👍👍An awesome song and an awesome band. 🔥🔥🔥 🖖❤

[@davidmuma3235]

To get the full effect you need to listen with headsets.

[@36karpatoruski]

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!

[@patriciatolliver4057]

Patty- That has always been my favorite Steppenwolf song. I was in High School when this song came out.

[@jamesrobbison]

"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!

[@Anaj-us4eo]

Both enhanced each other….js

[@TheBobherriot]

Steppenwolf is also the name of a book.

[@xScooterAZx]

By Hermann Hesse

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

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.

[@chab1rd155]

I AGREE, more psychedelic. Im not a fan of acid rock, and I have LOVED this for years now!

[@gaylegaston5110]

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!

[@johnrule1607]

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!

[@gaylegaston5110]

@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!

[@subwaygoddess1]

That was it, an acid trip! This is one of my all-time favorites

[@sira.scottascot8865]

"Hey Lawdy Mama" is my favorite Steppenwolf song.

[@worldfamouslanglois4805]

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

[@chab1rd155]

Great Band, great music! Got the church organ in there too, whats not to love with this jam!!!

[@mimigina7439]

Having a rough day...then you danced. Warms my heart when reactors actually get into the Music I grew up on! ❤

[@KimberlyRichard-mj5ep]

Thank you !!!!! Popular when I was a teenager , loved this song !!!!! One of the best ever !!!!!

[@TheMike_I]

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.

[@sweisbrod6109]

Best with headphones

[@barbarahamlin3284]

Love watching you enjoy the listen. You can’t listen and not groove….gotta go onto magic carpet ride.

[@Crystal_Abbott-jn6xs]

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.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

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.

[@terryconnelly484]

Yeah rookie we've heard that guitar effect... I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@bobdelp2023]

FYYYYYRRRRRR!!! LOL 💯😊YOU KNOW IT MOB!

[@claudeproost1286]

“Born to be wild” & “the pusher” are two killers!

[@OzzybinOswald]

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.

[@GrimrDirge]

Steppenwolf means literally plains wolf or coyote in German

[@Xcris_crosX]

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

[@richeaton5752]

"Monster" will blow you away.

[@TheBobherriot]

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)

[@jimwalter480]

I recommend "Born To Be Wild" and "The Pusher".

[@StillAliveAndWell499]

I was going to mention those. I’d add “Don’t Step on the Grass, Sam.”

[@DaveWagner-ts7bx]

Hell yes

[@sweisbrod6109]

Steppenwolf is a character in Norse mythology.

[@davidmuma3235]

It’s about the coming of stereo sound.

[@melissabrooke1146]

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.

[@collinpillow4066]

As in Michael Monarch? If so, I saw him with the World Classic Rockers many years ago.

[@melissabrooke1146]

Yes, we went to see the World Classic Rockers a few times, great shows! He kept that band up for quite a while.

[@melissabrooke1146]

He has a KZbin channel called Peyton Monarch band.

[@lisar.6670]

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 .. *Rock Me *Sookie Sookie *Born to be Wild *The Pusher *Hey Lawdy Mama *Screamin' Night Hog

[@duncansolloway2497]

i met JOHN KAY in the 2000 s- he was super cool and told me a couple cool stories from back in the day

[@cynergy4]

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

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

Song has been in so many movies!!!

[@flutesong5527]

Steppenwolf! Cult novel by Hermann Hesse! Woot, now there's a teenage reminder for damn sure

[@user-mk5xc4ye9t]

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

[@sammybeck7794]

That static radio noise at the beginning you never heard anybody do before. Well now you have

[@laurakali6522]

The Pusher.

[@johnrule1607]

Yeah. That's a heavy one.

[@chuckriley3711]

I got the see Steppenwolf live one time, at a place called Pepper Land.

[@RaynorBear]

The 7" single version cuts out most of the instrumental section.

[@lisasechler5714]

I'm glad my Mom had these albums. Try Don't Step on the Grass Sam.

[@JasonVeisberg]

This always seemed like a light version of Pink Floyd echoes. Yeah have to hear it. It’s life-changing.

[@robertbobcat-xi1lm]

Great reviews!

[@williamstlouis3368]

Sounds great to you. Try it with headphones. It will blow you away. Peace out.

[@111oooo]

Born to be Wild, written by Canadian Mars Bonfire (not his given name)

[@bobdelp2023]

PSYCHEDELIC ROCK WINDOW MOB! ( 67-70 ) 😊THEIR HUGE HIT AND YOU MAY KNOW IT : BORN TO BE WILD 👍SO YEAH MOB, ENJOYYYYYY!

[@coreyrees840]

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

[@bobdelp2023]

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!👍

[@rean4144]

Static intro: Whatever by Godsmack. Highly recommend

[@trishriley9681]

❤

[@user-zj8fu5wq4z]

A take away from Hesse's novel Steppenwolf for me is that we all have two sides to our personality and image of self: a wild side and a more socially acceptable side. The band seemed to express both of these sides in their music.

[@8DecadesLife]

If you want to hear the ultimate Steppenwolf, listen to 'Monster'. 👍

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Check out their songs Monster --original --9:15-- --- Don't Step on the Grass Sam The Pusher "The Ostrich"

[@terryconnelly484]

For short run they have a lot of good songs

[@debjorgo]

They were prominent for 4 years. They recorded 1968- 1976. After that, they recorded as John Kay & Steppenwolf, because John was using different band members. Their last show was in 2018. Another great band not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kind of makes you disrespect the HoF.

[@glf84421]

song about acid trip

[@glassontherocks]

I always thought it was a pervert trying to pick up little girls. Like Heart's song "Magic Man".

[@nim4464]

gotta check out "The Pusher" and "Born to Be Wild"

[@markdecker6190]

Def psychedelic rock fer sure except if you dropped before listening then it was acid rock. It wouldn't have been unusual for me and my buddy to come home from school when mom was still at work, we'd spark up and donning headphones play songs like this over and over. Yeah, Magic Carpet Ride could've been a couple minutes longer.

[@user-xl4zf5bk6c]

Totally different sound if you ARE on acid. Pyhscodelic IS acid.

[@daveking9393]

Puff puff pass

[@user-ys8gs5tw5e]

Don't wanna mess up the rotation no boggin' no pinner rule full effect operation misty cloud commence😂😎

[@marceldagenais1893]

Check out "The pusher" this is pure biker music man sex drugs rock and roll and some Harleys.

[@DosBear]

Steppenwolf was awesome. Acid is a psychedelic BTW & they would classify as both if their is any distinction which I don't think there really is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foGoapSVmtWgjdk This is the best version.

[@terryconnelly484]

I believe steppenwolf is Nordic mythology You can research that

[@jillw4983]

Pusher Man is good

[@cherrypickerguitars]

Book title. Read it.

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Check out THE PUSHER

[@Jerralyng49]

Some personality types just can't get along. Add in drugs, alcohol, groupies, egos and money, and things can explode.😊

[@Xcris_crosX]

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
