Steppenwolf

Heavy metal thunder.  The line that was used to define a musical genre.  Very cool. 

My first concert as a teen circa 1968, with seats close enough to the stage to burn California cool into my skull.  I could not have guessed that John Kay (born Klaus Karl Kassbaum) and Nick St. Nicholas (born Joachim Fritz Krauledat) were both born in WWII Germany.

I have that lp. Doubt if that would be allowed today.

Being a big fan b/c takes me back to my roots I recently found the SHM CD of the first album entitled Steppenwolf. It's a pretty good recording and every cut is a winner. Love Mike Monarchs guitar work you know it's him right away. He was a 17 y.o. kid when the album was recorded and he is still writing music. John Kay is 82. Listen to the last cut The Ostrich an environmental song that could've been written yesterday.
