it is a complete mystery why Steppenwolf has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... they had several hit songs and great albums, and should have be in there!

Yeah, as has been pointed out, Kay didn't actually write those lyrics, but he is, however, very proud to count himself and the band as hard rock and heavy metal pioneers. Because that is the genre he has always, and rightly so, considered Steppenwolf belonging to.

@nanastan9 2 года назад

While I was waiting for the bus to go home last week an elderly, grizzled, tired, and disheveled looking gentleman approached me, and asked if I had $.60 for bus fare (senior fare.) I did, so I gave it to him. He sat down on the bench next to me, leaned back, and closed his eyes. After a moment he said, "Will you do one more thing for an old man?" "Sure," I replied. "Will you play 'Born to be Wild' for me?" "By Steppenwolf?" I asked in surprise. "Yes, ma'am, that's the one." So, I pulled up Spotify, and played it for him. I dunno why, but it made me so happy. :)

What a touching, unexpectedly human moment. I wonder if it was his way of telling the world - and reminding himself - that he wasn’t always elderly, grizzled, tired, and disheveled. Maybe disheveled, if he related to this song. By the way, your description of him and the encounter was very well written.

Great song by a very early hard rock group. A dear late fiend of mine was an Army Ranger LRRP during the Vietnam war. After he was back in civilian life and this song and others like it came on the radio he would tell us the helicopter crews ferrying his group into the back country would have Steppenwolf blaring inside the helicopter with everyone on high alert. It was subtle but we could see him stiffen up a bit when recounting that experience.

John Kay, the one with the long hair and the mustache in the pictures, LOL, wrote and sang this classic with a lot of style. This song is where the phrase "Heavy Metal" was first used in a song, so that makes it historically significant. Speaking of riding motorcycles, this song was also used as the title music over the credits in the movie Easy Rider, which is exactly the scenario you were describing, except the boys in the movie were going from LA Ca. to NOLA. You need to see the movie "EASY RIDER" TONIGHT!!!

I have always been convinced this song is where the term "heavy metal" came from. "Heavy metal thunder, and the feelin' that I'm under". This is from 1968 and 1970 has often been referred to as "The Birth of Heavy Metal"!!?? So they needed a term and Steppenwolf had already used it.

The movie "Easy Rider" is a classic and one that would give you a glimpse into the era/ times as well as some legendary actors and classic music. It's deep. Then on the other end of the continuum, there is the pure comedy drama, "Road hogs" starring the next generation, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence and John Travolta.👍🤣 Good ones for your movie review night.😉💕

The organist on this track is Goldie McJohn. Before confounding Steppenwolf he was a member of a Canadian band called the Mynah Birds which also included pre-fame Rick James and Neil Young. They recorded one album for Motown which was never released after someone at the label learned that Ricky James was really James Johnson and wanted for going AWOL from the navy to avoid being sent to Vietnam. After prison, James became a session player in LA and eventually resigned with Motown in the late 70’s. Neil Young would join Buffalo Spring and later Crosby Stills Nash & Young.

Add the movie "Easy Rider" over on your movie channel. A young Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda did it on a shoestring budget, and it became the breakout role of Jack Nicholson even though he'd been in some other forgettable films. You'll get some great Steppenwolf music.
