Steppenwolf - Feed the Fire

[nedooo77]

just great...just great

[Pilsberrydoughboy11]

john and the wolf had many songs that should have been hits i guess john didnt kiss enough ass or was happy enough in his own skin he didnt need the big hits the wolf and john are the best and this song is fantastic

[cseaavalosroger]

Hell of a SONG " Lyrics" Feed The Fire , Never Let it Die, Help Others See The Light ! Awesum !

[msclaude1234]

what can anyone say they were and always will be a glimps into the future as well as a gloryus past.Simple they just was the best.

[YusakuJon3]

Sounds great! That old cat can still belt one out. This reminds me a bit of the old Steppenwolf sound. (And now I know where Pearl Jam may have gotten its influence.)

[stever71]

Without a doubt...JOHN KAY is a master song writer and singer !! He has always been and will always be my favorite singer / songwriter.

The thing that gets me is that he is so underated....much like Edgar Allan Poe.....he too will not be recognized for his talents until he too is gone...sadly but true.

For those of us who do "get it".....John....we just want to let you know how much we care for you as a person and performer !! John Kay...Second to None !!!

When such a big soulfull guy sings by heart, does women's toolbox ran empty?

[GrandmotherSpider]

Such a beautiful song. I linked this to my FB page dedicating it to all the young ones in my life. Such a great message.

[mchead13]

Steppenwolf should have been a charter member of the Hall..one of the original bands that combined metal, fatih and freedom into Rock and Roll....Long Live John Kay and the 'wolf

[bigal4333]

[fcbfusball]

sory im german:D

[LDean5643]

@fcbfusball You must be a Bayern fan!

[gentledoe7]

john kaye never did get the recognition that he so well deserved

[dullsvillain]

@gentledoe7

No bro, Steppenwolf was HUGE 1968 - 1973

[zitlight73]

@dullsvillain That's why their music is part of any soundtrack that tries to depict that era. They are one of the defining band of that age and their music is every bit as relevant now as it was forty years ago. Boycott Rock and Roll Hall of Shame, it's because of people like them that most music sucks ass nowadays.

[droppin233]

if everyone watched this fantastic vid maybe everyone would have bq pits in there back yards sing songs too long live the firepits ! an bless everyone who has one theres nothing like a nice cozy fire in the backyard !  love steppenwolf have albulms still/

[OldBeethowen]

THE BEST SONG BY STEPPENWOLF !

[TheTopaz27]

this is one of my anthems.....

[allrightguy89]

At fifty-two I lost my job and my wife over the course of about a year, and I thought the best times were behind me. The idealism of John Kay and his songs reminds me of what's really important and valuable in life; keeping your eyes and your heart open, working for peace and justice, and believing that the best is yet to come.

[zitlight73]

@allrightguy89 Hey some of history's greatest men if they'd died before the age of sixty would have been mere footnotes Franklin and Churchill come to mind. To his dying day Franklin didn't think any of his electrical experiments would ever have any practical use less than fifty years after his death many of his discoveries made the Industrial Age possible. Do what you're meant to do and let history be the judge.

Lotta comments about the 'Wolf not being in the RRHF..or the Moody Blues,did you know they gotta pay to be considered to be inductees.?

About $12K..

If I were in a rock band I donl think I'd be too concerned about getting inducted either.

[zitlight73]

That figures. So many movies dealing with that ime have used Steppenwolf in their soundtracks. They did a lot to define that era"s music but what they sang about is still very relevant. Considering some of who is in the Hall of Fame, I'd consider it somewhat of an honor NOT to be in it.

[linlan30]

John, you have been in my heart since the first day I heard "Born to Be Wild", 40 years ago. I still crave to hear it, and still get goosebumps, but I to want to say that I immensly admire you today for all that you are doing, and sharing your thoughts in beautiful songs, and supporting not only mankind, but the beautiful animals that so many take for granted. It all goes hand in hand. Thank you so much. Please come to Allentown, PA again!

[edpartar]

John Kay is my favorite singer ever, and steppenwolf my fav band forever... i feel their songs and always learn something with... it's like my medicin...

[BlueRoseRocketBand2]

one of the comments said steppenwolf is Not in the rock hall of fame.

hell they should have been one of the first.

[Cabellero69]

John Kay and Steppenwolf have sung the sound track of my life. From Born to be Wild, to Monster, he has lifted my spirit and inspired my heart. I shared his music with my sons and believe he has helped them become the fine men they are. Now, this song especially calls to me like a clarion, as I try to champion political progress and inspire my students to do likewise. Thank you John. I am forever in your debt! Keep Rockin till the early mornin!

[ihop54]

Solitude's no sacrifice, to catch a glimpse of paradise. ,,,,,,How true, and how few have ever seen and felt it, from fear of being alone

[jmarcosqueiroz]

UAU!

WOW!

[golchak]

no words....

[RATKING10]

typical,to the point from the soul john kay!! 'the master'

[MikeChambers1001]

WOW I totally love this song (first time to hear it) I also like "shackles and chains" (rare one) ........on the slow side , I think tenderness is great too !

[Montgomrie]

The look in Kay's eyes at approximately 3:04 is truly haunting. I've no doubt this was an emotional song for him.

[zitlight73]

almost all of Steppenwolf's music was from the heart. they were my first truely favorite rock band. They're still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame neither are the Moody Blues, incredible.

[golchak]

great

[LDean5643]

Another great performance by John Kay. Less Growl, more soul in this one. I like the back up vocal too.

[Montgomrie]

Gah, the more I listen to this song, the more incredible it becomes. Alas, I have not been able to find an MP3 of it. I'm truly saddened.

[PhantomCountry]

This is just one example of the heart and soul that John Kay has expressed in most all his songs throughout his career. Though I don't know him personally he he trully one of my very best friends. Keep pouring out your heart John, though he is a rocker from time to time, he is a simple country boy at heart. Peace, "HeyCowBoyBob"(alias Bob Wallace)

[parsnip02]

wow this song is so awesome. it has so much meaning within it.

[malenkov]

Great song from one of the greatest bands and greatest singer/songwriters ever!

[Montgomrie]

This song is simply amazing. On a philosophical, psychological and even sociological level.

[misermoe]

This song really shows the spirit of a great musical genius!"Rock On",bother you still have the MAGIC!

[Mils5552666]

god this song is so good i just can't beleive it im 18 years old and i love that kind of muzzic

[wardka]

Kay has one of the very few rock voices that has just gotten better and better with age. Usually it's the other way around. I loved the 60's and 70's stuff, but now (well I guess you can't call '96 "now") he still uses some of the same kinds of vocal ornamentation, only more so and with more finesse. One of the most underrated singers in pop/rock, I'd say. Thanks for posting.

[Rockertje1975]

I like Steppenwolf, but not numbers like this. After 1974 (Slow Flux) there has been made very few songs I think. The songs from 1967-1974 which have been played today contain a strong plastic-sound.

[jchofler3]

I have to disagree. In the 80's/90's The Wolf put out "Rise and Shine" and "Rock n' Roll Rebels". I saw them on tour at that time as I have always been a hardcore fan. Granted, the sound is somewhat different, but still true to the old school style.  Check them out sometime. Not plastic at all IMO.

[shailendra69]

KOOL WHITE BAND....GUILT TRIP

[reggiehudson]

I saw John Kay and Steepenwolfe in 1969, in Amarillo Texas. The sad thing is that everyone I attended that concert with is dead with the exception of me.Keep trucking my brother.

[jencomackey]

It seems to me, his music and words are far too beautiful and thought provoking for the multitudes of people who don't want to think, they just want to be entertained mindlessly. This song is wonderful. Forty years and he is still staying true to himself.

[tripyhippy]

wow so true

[BourbanScotchBeer]

What an Awsome Song!!!

[sjrod04]

His music still inspires and moves one to examine and feel the music in ones life.

[zitlight73]

Back in 68, 69,70 Steppenwolf was my band. 40 years later they still are, their music is as relevant today as ever, the Beatle were okay but they didn't speak to me like Steppenwolf, Creedance and Jefferson Airplane did.

[WitchaTiTo]

I am with you 100%!!!

[WitchaTiTo]

Should have been a huge hit. I Love this song and everything John Kay has done. If you can see him live

[nazzare79]

this is '80 aor which I hate,I love 60 freak rock,as He/they was/were

[MagiMan77]

One of the Best Songs I have heard in 20 years. But thats Radio now. Its not bublegum enough to get on radio in the past 20 years

[DivingHawk1]

@MagiMan77 Radio is as Shamefull as the Hall Of Shame!!!

[DivingHawk1]

@MagiMan77  Radio is as Shamefull as the Hall Of Shame!!! Support Pirate Radio Peaple!

[stever71]

@MagiMan77 Ditto !!

[hunkylynch]

Released in 1996, this is a song that should have been a top 10 hit.

[WitchaTiTo]

Could not agree with you more!!!

[stever71]

@hunkylynch Ditto !!

[LDean5643]

An amazing musician and performer! A Rock icon!

[Cabellero69]

John Kay has more talent and more depth than many who have made far more and been far more famous. Few have been truer to themselves and their music. There's much to admire in that.

[ScottKilbourn]

Awesome song!!!

[HCFDFireChief]

Mr. Kay is one of my true heroes.

[bearsbugs]

Did he ever do a bad song? I've loved every one I've ever heard.

[allrightguy89]

Hey Lawdy Mama was kind of lame, but not really bad, I guess. I've always liked how his social conscience and consciousness showed up in his songs. I wish he'd had more recognition.
