i can explain if you are willing to listen. and perhaps times have changed. if you recall the image of 'the pusher' he was someone lurking around trying to get someone to try something, yeah he sold too, but he'd seek out anyone to get to try, he pushed his wares. the dealer, you know where to find him too, he's standing on the corner and selling. he will take new customers, but he isn't recruiting its a subtle difference. i am not making any right or wrong claims
wp4866 is a drug pusher in the 21st Century. When he gets caught, he will rat out everyone he knows to make a plea deal. Probably has no morals and sits in front of an Elementary School eyeing little girls with bad intent.Looser.
This song was written by country star Hoyt Axton-This is a cover song-Hoyt also wrote *mama told me not to come* covered by THREE DOG NIGHT back in 1981 I did a *ROCKIN IN THE HILLS* at a Beautiful ampitheater in Moundsville WV-With John Kay and Steppenwolf-Later called success in the hills-He has such an Aura about him in person-He was born in Germany! And legally blind-He took me under his wing and gave me some good advice about the music bus.
The clarity of your audio is ON. Picture quality's great. John is getting much past due attention on VH-1s History of Metal. Born to be Wild was the first song to carry the line "Heavy Metal" when John bellows, "Heavy Metal Thunder!" John is a survivor /still\ in the music business, as well as surviving Nazi Germany. He and his mom, with 7 other people, escaped at night thru a fence in the 1940s. They had to pay a spy (or Border Guard). 5 men were spotted and machine gunned. (Sad & true) JC
I was 11 when my older sister and her friends would play Steppenwolf I would sneak in her room and play this song over and over off the best Album my oter favorite was Hotchie Cotchie man brings back lots of memories
Its funny, this wouldnt get played on the radio cause they said it promoted drugs. lol there is a lot of shit music on the radio now that promotes drugs.
goD has already damned us ALL by imposing "Sin" & "Judgement". And again when his followers co-opted all of the Goddess's holy days & called them their own. And again when they murdered the Goddess's people in "his" name, million's of them! You Easter Bunny worshiping FREAK! I know right from wrong & don't need YOU to judge me for use of a "word". goD Damn!
Steppenwolf was a studio group like the archies when steppenwolf played in Kansas City they opened with Magic carpet ride and the group was terrible. The group was not he real studio group and the fans hated the concert. It was BULLSHI - concfert.
O interesante é que alguém na banda (keib) faz o som do baixo. Eu, em particular, gostaria da presença, nem que fosse de um boneco, com o baixo. Mesmo assim o concerto é muito bom.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Someone must have missed the story about the Titanic, when the captain said,"Not even God Himself can sink this ship". Well, when you use God's name in vain like it's no big deal, you're setting yourself up for failure...
Repent... respect God, or reap the consequences (Exodus20:7)...
@SokemRokemRobot i think maybe you should listen to the other words in the song, not just the ones that you think are offensive. the gist of the song is that they are asking God to damn the pusher, not as you stated "using God's name in vain like it's no big deal". sometimes we only see (hear) what we want to see (hear).
@pcmcmeans It's not within the jurisdiction of any person on this planet to tell God to damn anyone. In fact, pushing for anyone's damnation is just as evil as pushing drugs. You, I, & every other person on this planet is as much in need of redemption as any pusher. 2Peter3:9 "God is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." We are to love one another, teach one another, help one another to renounce evil - not damn one another.
@pcmcmeans right, back in the day my parents gave a lot of parties, somehow I played "dj" on the "hi-fi stero", I played this album,yes, vinyl, a female party guest went off on my Mom about this very thing, so proud of my Mother this was the first time she had heard the song but, told the woman to "re-listen" to to words again, and asked her how many points selling cards for the church did her son have." He didn't go to Church but, I did and still do....
@mortyok3 SokemRokem is not talking "religious bullshit." The line "God damn the pusher" truly is using God's name in vain. Not only is it evil to wish God to damn anyone, it's also hypocrisy. Not one of us on this planet - not you, not I, not John Kay, not your mother or child - is sinless. To wish damnation for others is to wish it for ourselves. God wishes damnation for no-one: 2Peter3:9. "He is patient with you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
@tamething1 You are so mired in this religion crap that you think you have the right to judge and condemn others' behavior. People who quote the Bible are so full of themselves, thinking "This is the word of God". It is the word of MAN, all of this crap you are clinging to is MAN-MADE. You are quoting a MAN. Yeah, I can claim to be "inspired by God", just like all the Republican hypocrites who claim "God asked me to run for President".
@tamething1 there are plenty of instances in the the old and new testament that contradict your claim. If you're going to shove religion down the throats of the masses at least have the appropriate knowledge so your "opinions" can at least sound slightly accurate. ....just replying to people like you makes me sick. Enjoy your crusade weirdo.
The lead guitarist's touch turned my soul inside out, washed it, wrung it, then hung up to dry during the first solo, good thing to 'cuz I was crying thinking of a girlfriend I lost to that shit.

You see I've been to Goldy Mcjohns house and even know his phone number so you see I know what I'm talking about :) I'll say it again!!! John Kay was lame to kick Goldy Mcjohn out of the band PERIOD
JOHN KAY IS LAME LET ME SAY IT AGAIN JOHN KAY IS LAME... GOLDY MCJOHN ISN'T ON THE KEYBOARDS, YOU KNOW! THE ORIGINAL KEYBOARDIST!
IT'S NOT STEPPHEN WOLF WITHOUTH THE ORIGINAL BAND MATES! SO YES JOHN KAY IS LAME!! GOLDY MCJOHN HAS A NEW BAND CALLED (MAGIC CARPET RIDE) SO EVERYONE GO SAY HI TO GOLDY MCJOHN BROTHERS N SISTERS.. JOHN KAY BROKE UP THE WOLF PACK!!!!
GOLDY MCJOHN (THE MAGIC CARPET RIDE) IS THE REAL WOLF PACK...!
@danoph What bass guitar? When John Kay reformed the band, the bass player was "omitted" in favor of keyboardist Michael Wilk's ability to lay down a bass line on his organ. Listen to the original cut from the Second Album and you'll be able to tell the difference. JK's last band consisted of Wilk, drummer Ron Hurst and guitarist Danny Johnson. All good musicians. Personally, I miss that bass player but that's the way it went until JK retired after 40 yrs.
Anyway, we all used to slam speed in the late 80's. Stay awake for days just jamming in bombed out flats in San Fran. No rent, massive worries, too high to care. We would play this song on the morning, on the patio by the garden, after a gig all high as kites. Bring you right down to earth, bro's. Sobering.
LAST ONE... having said all that.... i also realize its my own interpretation of the song. It works just as well for heroin dealers, cigarette companies, beer companies, or any distributor of a product that really doesnt help anyone but just makes money. thats the mark of a good song, you can make of it what you will :)
Continued... " ... I'd kill 'em with my bible, and i'd RAISE THE RENT..." meaning the rent for drug companies... Now the ORIGANAL version was written by Curtis Mayfield, and IT had to do with heroin and hard drugs, but if you look at the time of this covers release, what the lyrics say (or were changed to), you can see where i'm coming from...
@indigochile Hi indigochile. I share your expanded interpretation to include corporate pushers of all kinds of bad products (Enron stock, anyone?). As a side point, this song was written by Hoyt Axton in 1963, first recorded by Steppenwolf in 1968 and included in the 1969 movie Easy Rider. Curtis Mayfield's song by similar title and subject matter was in 1972 for the movie and album SuperFly Cheers.
Continued.... " if i were the president.. i'd declare total war on the pusher man" the War on Drugs started the same year this song was in the movie "easy rider" so it was already declared by the pres... so if HE were the president this is what HE would do...
Continued.... " you know the dealer is a man with a love grass in his hand, but the pusher is a monster, thank God he's not a NATURAL man." herb is natural, pills are not... "... the dealer gives you sweet dreams" with the herb... "the pusher will leave your mind to scream" and thats what happens if you mix a bunch of pills...
Continued... the song starts out with the herb and pills... then goes on to say "... i've seen alotta people walkin round with tombstones in their eyes, but the pusher doesn't care if you live or if you die.." which is exactly how drug companies look at their customers...
after reading all the comments on here i thought it was HIGH time i shared with people what this song means.... the dealer is the guy who has the drugs we all know and love (weed, coke, ect...) and the pusher is the drug companies...
@thesharkface22 Probably the uploader confused it with Curtis Mayfield's song, although they have nothing in common (but they're both brilliant songs)
@Imat00l I've had morphine several times in the hospital, so I know where you're coming from. It made me feel better than I ever had before. It's not something I would fool with otherwise. The first time was the best and the next couple of times it just wasn't as wonderful as the first time. Dangerous stuff and best to avoid, as it gives you a very strong urge to want more!
I grew to hate Heroin, no doubt about it. But I could never bring myself to hate, or blame the "pusher". To me that's like hating the liquor store owner if you let booze destroy your job, marriage and health. The pusher is just supplying what you want, or thought you wanted. Nothing personal beyond your own bad life choices. My pusher actually cared about me and always cautioned me when my use was getting too high, too fast. Just my own experience I guess...
shwadinger- That's like saying you're OK with the local market selling Budweiser but you HATE the marketing dept. at Budweiser for making cool commercials to get you to buy their product. I DO understand what you're saying but I think the line is too fine to separate the 2. Either way the "pusher" or the "dealer" are both bad people because they sell a product that will addict you, and may kill you. -Peace-
@randy95023- No, it's the difference between me not really caring about the Beer Store that sells me Budweiser, but hating the advertiser who tries to make a hard sell on me by constantly telling me I need to buy some for whatever reason, or preying on a weakness of mine for drinking _just_ to get a sale.
There's a difference between having an item for sale and actively pushing it on to people.
I saw Steppenwolf in 1979 at The Peppermint in Va Beach and they didn't rock nearly this good. Was a small place or maybe in a down time but this performance clearly is over the top in my opinion. John Kay and Danny Johnson. Great Job. RESPECT
Fantastic..!! But my favorite version is the Steppenwolf Live album way back..the leads were incredible...but 40 yrs later John Kay is incredible.such stage presence!!
You got it,I just had it cranked up last weekend.One of the finest live albums.Superb hard guitar , studio versions of their songs are often a bit more mellow if you know what I mean.
Qu'est-il devenu, ce chanteur fantastique, et tous les membres de ce grand groupe. Avez-vous entendu et vu le solo de guitare; déjà il maitrisait les techniques du rock moderne appliquées par les virtuoses de notre monde globalisé d'aujourd'hui.

And the Government is the Pusherman for alcohol and cigarettes (all legal, of course)
And the pharmaceutical companies are the Pusherman for extremely toxic and addictive products.(again all legal, of course)

@danoph What bass guitar? When John Kay reformed the band, the bass player was "omitted" in favor of keyboardist Michael Wilk's ability to lay down a bass line on his organ. Listen to the original cut from the Second Album and you'll be able to tell the difference. JK's last band consisted of Wilk, drummer Ron Hurst and guitarist Danny Johnson. All good musicians. Personally, I miss that bass player but that's the way it went until JK retired after 40 yrs.

Anyway, we all used to slam speed in the late 80's. Stay awake for days just jamming in bombed out flats in San Fran. No rent, massive worries, too high to care. We would play this song on the morning, on the patio by the garden, after a gig all high as kites. Bring you right down to earth, bro's. Sobering.

kevin652010 1 year ago
LAST ONE... having said all that.... i also realize its my own interpretation of the song. It works just as well for heroin dealers, cigarette companies, beer companies, or any distributor of a product that really doesnt help anyone but just makes money. thats the mark of a good song, you can make of it what you will :)
indigochile 1 year ago
Continued... " ... I'd kill 'em with my bible, and i'd RAISE THE RENT..." meaning the rent for drug companies... Now the ORIGANAL version was written by Curtis Mayfield, and IT had to do with heroin and hard drugs, but if you look at the time of this covers release, what the lyrics say (or were changed to), you can see where i'm coming from...
indigochile 1 year ago
@indigochile Hi indigochile. I share your expanded interpretation to include corporate pushers of all kinds of bad products (Enron stock, anyone?). As a side point, this song was written by Hoyt Axton in 1963, first recorded by Steppenwolf in 1968 and included in the 1969 movie Easy Rider. Curtis Mayfield's song by similar title and subject matter was in 1972 for the movie and album SuperFly Cheers.

Continued.... " if i were the president.. i'd declare total war on the pusher man" the War on Drugs started the same year this song was in the movie "easy rider" so it was already declared by the pres... so if HE were the president this is what HE would do...
indigochile 1 year ago
Continued.... " you know the dealer is a man with a love grass in his hand, but the pusher is a monster, thank God he's not a NATURAL man." herb is natural, pills are not... "... the dealer gives you sweet dreams" with the herb... "the pusher will leave your mind to scream" and thats what happens if you mix a bunch of pills...
indigochile 1 year ago
Continued... the song starts out with the herb and pills... then goes on to say "... i've seen alotta people walkin round with tombstones in their eyes, but the pusher doesn't care if you live or if you die.." which is exactly how drug companies look at their customers...
indigochile 1 year ago
after reading all the comments on here i thought it was HIGH time i shared with people what this song means.... the dealer is the guy who has the drugs we all know and love (weed, coke, ect...) and the pusher is the drug companies...

Imat00l 2 years ago
@Imat00l I've had morphine several times in the hospital, so I know where you're coming from. It made me feel better than I ever had before. It's not something I would fool with otherwise. The first time was the best and the next couple of times it just wasn't as wonderful as the first time. Dangerous stuff and best to avoid, as it gives you a very strong urge to want more!

I grew to hate Heroin, no doubt about it. But I could never bring myself to hate, or blame the "pusher". To me that's like hating the liquor store owner if you let booze destroy your job, marriage and health. The pusher is just supplying what you want, or thought you wanted. Nothing personal beyond your own bad life choices. My pusher actually cared about me and always cautioned me when my use was getting too high, too fast. Just my own experience I guess...
randy109 2 years ago
@randy109
that's not a pusher, that's a dealer
listen to the words:
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream
The dealer has product to buy, should you want it. The pusher tells you you should buy all the time.
It's like high-pressure sales vs. going to wal-mart

1dudeman2 2 years ago
shwadinger- That's like saying you're OK with the local market selling Budweiser but you HATE the marketing dept. at Budweiser for making cool commercials to get you to buy their product. I DO understand what you're saying but I think the line is too fine to separate the 2. Either way the "pusher" or the "dealer" are both bad people because they sell a product that will addict you, and may kill you. -Peace-
randy95023 2 years ago
@randy95023- No, it's the difference between me not really caring about the Beer Store that sells me Budweiser, but hating the advertiser who tries to make a hard sell on me by constantly telling me I need to buy some for whatever reason, or preying on a weakness of mine for drinking _just_ to get a sale.
There's a difference between having an item for sale and actively pushing it on to people.
