In the chaotic world of rock 'n' roll, in which the
lifespan of most bands can be measured in terms of a few
years or a few months, John Kay and Steppenwolf have
emerged as one of rock's most enduring and respected bands,
delivering hard-hitting, personally-charged music for more
than three decades.
In the late 1960s, Steppenwolf embodied that era's social,
political and philosophical restlessness, building an
impressive body of edgy, uncompromising rock 'n' roll that
retains its emotional resonance more than three decades
after the band's formation. Such Steppenwolf standards as
"Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me" and
"Monster" stand amongst Rock's most indelible anthems.
At last count, the band's worldwide record sales exceed 25
million un More...
Review about Steppenwolf Steppenchild | Reviewer: Moby Johnson
------ About the song Sookie Sookie performed by Steppenwolf
One of the first albums I ever bought was a Steppenwolf album. This song fascinated me. I used to perform it in a band, but as was often the case, we got some of the words wrong (or did we?) In the line:"do the Baltimore Jig" I had been singing "do the bottomojee" which, if you think about it, makes more sense when you watch the chicks dance! Oh, Gee!

------ About the song Monster/Suicide/America performed by Steppenwolf
When I first heard monster i was a teen ager and loved the honesty now look at the cover of the record the drawing of us the monster is great The song is more real today then in 1970 it is an anthem.
It is time for someone to ressurrect this song! It is so relevent and wise. Let's all try in our own ways to get it listened to. Then the youth may have a chance to halt the military-industrial-complex's neocon lackeys destruction of
our freedoms through mendacious fear.

There seems to be a gap in the info from 1958 to 1967 - the era when John Kay must have formed the group Sparrow. Can anyone fill in this gap?
Deja Vu | Reviewer: R. D. Laswell
------ About the song Monster/Suicide/America performed by Steppenwolf
I was a teenager in the late 60's/early 70's when this music first was released. It was written as a biting commentary on yhe cyclic nature of the American governmental system.
The irony as I see it is that we continue to follow in the groove laid down by the founders of our nation.
When the first colonists came to America, they took what they wanted from the natives, and enslaved others to become a labor force for thier profit.
Today we invade a foreign country in a thinly disguised bid for the oil production there and enslave millions of legal and illegal aliens with low paying jobs.
In my opinion the Monster is still on the loose.

------ About the song Tenderness performed by Steppenwolf
one of the deepest, most under-rated love ballads of all time. very uncharacteristic of johm kay and the band; yet very insightful. how many of us could learn if we listened?
I agree it's too bad this song didn't get more air time, as it's message and melody still fit and are still are applicable some 35 years later. Isn't amazing how some things never change, especially when we are talking about the Government?
Dedicated to my late niece Shandelle | Reviewer: Andrea Walkus
------ About the song Corrina, Corrina performed by Steppenwolf
I changed Corrina to Shandelle, my baby niece who died before she even turned one. She was a beautiful baby and I adored her but believed her to be angelic and I didn't hold her. I miss her dearly! She's been gone now for 8 years.
A TRY | Reviewer: jenni
------ About the song Magic Carpet Ride performed by Steppenwolf
i like to dream yes, yes right between the sound machine. On the clouded sign I dreamt of the night
Nearly forty years later and these lyrics are as descriptive of today's America as they were when written. It's a damn shame. Too bad a collection of songs as lyrically & musically creative as Monster is gets buried by the overkill of 'Born to be Wild' and 'Magic Carpet Ride'.
