Groovy, love your reactions. Steppenwolf's front man was German born John Kay who emigrated to Toronto, Canada and was known to play in the hippy Yorkville district. It was in 1967 John and Dennis Edmonton got drummer Jerry Edmonton, keyboardist Goldy McJohn, 17-year-old guitar prodigy Michael Monarch and bassist Rushton Moreve to create Steppenwolf. They cut their first album in 4 days. Great hits like Born to be Wild, Magic Carpet Ride, Rock Me and Pusher Man echoed a generation of "free love and psychedelic drugs" for some. Their songs have been licensed in about 50 motion pictures.

Writer John Kay said the song was about a new top-quality hi-fi system and he started writing lyrics "about how great our new stereo system sounded takes you away" He said the only drug in the room during recording was pot, he went on to say there is no reference to LSD and it's what music does to you

@greenbeatsred 2 года назад

Keyboards, rhythm guitar, bass, and drums were going crazy and then the vocals of John Kay to top it off. This song never gets old and I heard it when it first came out.

Thanks guys for trying this pioneering band who really Rocked in the late 60s & early 70s. Try Born To Be Wild, The Pusher and Monster and see how great a band they were. I was very lucky to see them front row in the early 70s in Waterbury CT, I was just to the left of lead singer / guitarist John Kay, I will never forget his snarl. Rock On. 🎸

@vivianphillips8519 2 года назад

"I like to dream...right between the sound machine." This is how we listened.. eyes closed with our head between the speakers and let the music take us away. I was kind of sad to hear this song in a commercial yesterday but maybe it's a good way to introduce today's young people to good rock.

@autumnphillips151 Год назад

I don’t know... I cringed pretty hard recently when I found out that someone had first heard a Black Pumas song in a commercial and _completely_ misunderstood the lyrics and never bothered to seek out the song. I’m afraid that songs featuring in commercials could cause people to have associations that degrade those songs. But, then again, sometimes I’m just glad to hear songs I love, in any context.

When Steppenwolf broke up in the middle to late 70's, each band member stepped out to preform Steppenwolf music. In 1978, I booked the lead singer and his group to play one night at the Anchor Club in Cocoa Beach, Florida. We reduced the dress code to come to the club in jeans and what ever. We held 452 cases of beer alone and by 8:00 pm, we were sold out and Wolf hasn't even been on stage. I remember giving my staff money to go to all the ABC liquor stores and they returned with another more 400 cases beer, not to mention we had a full stocked bar as well. After the concert, Bill Proctor of "Proctor & Gamble" convinced them to come party at his house at Sabastian Inlet, after that night I never saw that group again, and I think that's a good thing.

"I like to be dreamin' right between my sound machine." With some of the profits from their first album, John Kay bought a massive stereo system -- his Sound Machine... The change-ups of this band are unrivalled... 'Goldy' McJohn was the keyboardist, and the band was discovered by Peter Fonda in a Vancouver bar...

Asia & BJ - In the 60's, groups like Steppenwolf wanted listeners to get lost in the music. That is how you know if a band is good then and now actually. This is a GREAT band. Magic Carpet Ride definitely has a funk element to it. Sly Stone comes to mind.

1960's heavy psychedelic rock. Ended the 60's with this kind of stuff and it brought in the 70's... This song is basically a psychedelic rock song about the effects of the drugs . The word "Magic carpet Ride" relates to what the drug user feels when he or she is on these illegal drugs : flying as high as a kite ; or more likely , a carpet ride while being stoned .

The song is over 50 years old and will be played for another 150 years as well as "Born to be wild". Goldy McJohn was the guy "killin" the keys", he was fantastic as was the rest of this original lineup. But it was Mars Bonfire (Dennis Edmonton) playing that rhythm guitar perfectly, he happened to be in the studio when they were recording and asked him to play on this song. He never sped up or slowed down, his timing was always perfect. For a real trip check out "The Sparrow", the band that they were right before becoming Steppenwolf, they really rocked but were more raw and bluesy!
