    • @CarlWilliams-u3y
      @CarlWilliams-u3y Год назад

      John Kay is not his real name. He was born in Occupied Poland. When he sings about 'right between a sound machine', he's talking about being over at a friend's house and sitting between 2 speakers. Magic Carpet Ride is about cocaine.

  • @guesswho5122
    @guesswho5122 7 лет назад +3

    Yes, Mr. John Kay is of German descent, born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in the town of Tilsit in former German East Prussia. In 1958 his family together with youngster Joachim migrated to Canada. In 1969, if I remember correctly, I had the great pleasure of hearing him and STEPPENWOLF live in Frankfurt, Germany. He still speaks German fluently and has never severed his ties to this country. Given, that he named his band after the title (character) of DER STEPPENWOLF, beside Siddharta one the most successful novels of Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse (more than 100 million copies of his books sold worldwide, only surpassed by those of the Brothers Grimm) , John Kay did not hesitate in the summer of 2002 to come over to the town of Calw, Hesse's place of birth, to celebrate the latter's 125th birthday. I found some very rare footage, in German, though, of the national TV-Station ARD of that event on August 4th, 2002 on Facebook I don't know who uploaded this on Facebook, and naturally I don't have any rights in it.
    And, yes, MAGIC CARPET RIDE has always been and will remain one of my absolute favorites ever since I first heard the song on AFN, the American Forces Radio, Frankfurt.

    I can remember this song as it was yesterday. I was only 11 yrs. old when I first heard it on a live daytime TV show. It caught me by surprize. It was before Zep or any of the hard groups of that period. I was mezmerized watching it with JK and his sunglasses. All I could do was watch with amazement. I also remember my older sister asking me after if I she liked them but kinda wondering if she really did. My answer to her was without any hesitation. I replied YES. Then I asked her and her reply and was yes. I went out and bought the 45 soon after. 1968 as a small kid not really knowing hard rock as they called it back then. But there was something there that drawed me to them. I was an AM pop music listener then. But first time! There was no question about it. Also back then it was kinda taboo to listen to that type of music. Then soon after to me, came the following songs The Pusher and Born to be wild. I always liked them. I think I was the only 11 year old to maybe and surely liked them. Still to this day will always like em. Maybe some were the same age and even younger. I don't know. I was a Beatles fan when I first heard them even before the Ed S. show in 64. The reason I knew it was before was remembering "I wanna hold your hand in 64." and "I feel fine" in 65. I was only in 2nd grade before ES. I don't remember what show it was on but remembering my dad hitting the fan. He broke my first 45 because he hated them. I remember how that broke me up. I think mom (who bought it for me) gave him some S about it. I also would see The Doors, JA, Strawberry AC, The Who etc. later when the music was starting to change. Dad hated the Beatles at first when he broke my 45 but I think he came to like them when I saw Hey Jude live on TV and he kept hanging around and watching as my sisters were too. I was expecting him to leave the room but didn't. After he broke my record in 64, I remember sitting around the living room watching these groups and it was no problem with mom and dad even when the music was changing. I didn't know when I watched The Doors play Light my Fire on ES nor anyone else knew that Morrison was supposed to change the words until I saw the Doors movie! Man I must have heard the song 100 times before that and no one had any problem with the words but ES. They got a bad rap on that by not being able to appear on the show again. But that was ok. The Smothers Brothers aways had good groups at that time that aired.

    I was in the warmup band for them at the Music Factory in Greenville, N.C. in May of 1971, after the "Monster" album came out. They were actually very, very cool, it was still the original band. Goldie McJohn, the original organist, let our organist use his Hammond B-3 and Leslie speaker, which sounded amazing, and he has not forgotten that yet! I played on 2 shows in 1980 at the Agora Ballroom in Tampa, Fl., with "John Kay and Steppenwolf", I think there was probably some legal stuff going on about the use of the word "Steppenwolf" as the sole title of the band at that time, but, just like here, the band was excellent, and again, everyone was very nice. So cool to get to play with your idols.

    sings it and performs it better than in 1969. He is alive and well in the Nashville area. I actually saw him in the produce area of the same store, and was compelled just to give him a "Hay, thanks man for being part of my life."

      +uselessjoe I bet he was really cool about it too. I know a couple of people who have met him and he came across as being very laid back and appreciative of their comments to him. Seen him in numerous interviews and he always came across, to me anyways, as very approachable and down to earth.

      I don't hear singing. I just hear speaking/vocalizing the lyrics. He's no Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Layne Staley, or Chris Cornell - that's for sure.

      srujan00 stop comparing classic rock artists, they're all great. Just because led zeppelin is more mainstream doesn't mean they're better. Rock and roll isn't a war, don't divide them

      Goldie was great on original. I loved that sound. Equipment was different back then. Seems that some bands back then can't duplicate their own stuff. One example is the Guess who on No Time. Here's a live performance link that has a few flaws but I'd rather watch this one live. ruclips.net/video/HOTpwEHf1rk/видео.html

      Saw Steppenwolf @ the Cherry Hill Arena, Cherry Hill, NJ in 1968 when I was 13! The ticket cost $ 3.50! Boy times have changed. King Crimson backed them up. Greg Lake played bass with KC then. Didn't even know who Crimson was at the time. First time I ever saw or heard a mellotron. I think Steppenwolf was touring the 2nd album and Crimson was touring 'In the Court of the Crimson King' They did '21st Century Schizoid Man' They blew me away! I'll never forget it! Y'all not familiar with Crimson it's worth your time to check them out, especially early Crimson! Boy, you sure don't hear music live like this anymore!

    I saw Steppenwolf headline in 1972 at a Ice Arena in Illinois, RUSH was filling in for Canned Heat. RUSH ATE the show alive. I enjoyed John Kay's show,but honestly Rush played their entire first album that night and I was paralyzed by their performance.
    I though God himself sat in on drums for this Canadian band we all BOO-ed before they played and as they came out. We MADE them do an encore!!
    What a night. Ahhhh memories.
    Peace.
