[MrSkinnn]

Fuck me to tears, , , does it get any goddamn better than this???

Cruising to this with the top down in the summer of '69 at Stone Harbor, NJ was even better.

[russlander227]

Best damn Steppenwolf song ever. I knew a meth dealer who was the living embodiment of this song. Long story short-he died badly.

[cjoey39]

This tops the cool scale!! I love Eminem but really be serious????? haha!! Come on??? Joey Vaughan World Blues Attack"

[OverShootTheband]

@Pyrobolimenos1988 You dont have to smoke to do drugs theres other ways

[Mirada84]

I heard somewhere, in a book, that Jim Morrison suggested the name Steppenwolf

[OverShootTheband]

@Mirada84 Where?

[RebElPaso]

The sickest Song from Steppenwolf.

[normamitzy]

[starfish50]

Even though I never did use drugs, I always did love that song, and WOW, the visual effects are fantastic. GREAT JOB.

[0xlAFSftwlx0]

OMG IT'S LIKE THE HYPNO TUNNEL AT THE BEGINNING WAS DRAGGING ME INTO A BEAUTIFUL WORLD OF PEACE LOVE AND HARMONY

[cudionelove]

devil's dandruff...hell of a drug.

[mSmaabTX]

the pusher isn't a man it's the addiction

[DAlani123]

@mSmaabTX You gotta' be a cartel associate

[Zeke1950]

@mSmaabTX Sorry my friend,but back when it was written,the pusher was the guy that sold everything.Hard drugs were their trade.And many of their clients walked around with tombstones in their eyes because they were killing themselves,with what they were doing.Yes I do remember those days.Thank God I lived through my stupid years.

[MiniMousePoo2]

Awesome song!

[katanakeith]

I was on a ymca camp bus when I first listened to this song. Good thing I had on my earphones.

[blindmelon1]

Just clicked that Mia Wallaces pays homage to this song after 'Powdering her nose' in Pulp Fiction..... I must have watched that movie 200 times, just clicked on the 201st, funny how things like that happen..

[toogawnjawn]

Great song, thanks for posting it. I recall years gone by when I had my 64 impala with my 8 track blasting out the windows, at a stop light in this relgiious dutch town while the congregation was out front along side the street, If looks could kill I would have died instantly on the spot, not bieng able to figure out that this was an anti drug use message. Thanks for the video and rock on my friend.

[animalmother4]

[wholelottalove420]

Jesus Harold Christ on a fucking rubber crutch... what was that garbage rap advertisement on this most sacred of songs...

[inneedoftherapie]

@wholelottalove420 They have to push thier crap.

[jewsrock13]

@inneedoftherapie pusherman

[maddietorrie]

@inneedoftherapie Good point. Good analogy.

[Boberto96]

@inneedoftherapie Pretty intolerant point of view from someone promoting a song from a most sacred of eras - which promoted peace and love.. Just saying.

[supermemojo]

@wholelottalove420 A fu**in! Amen, from a top security clearance to a wanted felon , have known this song in my heart.We had a 8 track as we burned corpses, Rap doesnt mean much or have a lot to say to that scene.Color means nothing in death,from what I have seen. 9th Mar.2nd Bttl. Echo C.

[copgonzo]

[glaeken14]

Easy Rider!!

[ZeppelinFloydRoses]

[Tull29]

I did a lot of hash, weed, acid, mesc ,coke in my younger days but knew when to quit!

The newer(older) drugs such as speed, meth will kill you!

This song reminds me of my younger days and thank god I knew when to turn the drug thing off!

This song reminds me of those days!

[doonaman13]

@Tull29 your real tough man

[Flangdoogler]

@Tull29 fuck yeh, wish i could get a hold of mesc these days... it'd be sick to experience what aldous huxley wrote about

[aloisguepet]

i smoke a lot of grass and popped a lot of pills, to this song

[st8oftheart]

35 dislikes WTF?

[ElijahMFearon]

@st8oftheart there all pro-pusher

[chihawks2010]

Well all I have to say is these guys arent in the rock hall of fame.

what the fuck????

[bluehazer]

Always wondered: What insane fuzz pedal was that? Not a Fuzz Face, nor Ampeg Scrambler. Nasty tone. Oh well.

[bodger75]

theres defo a yellowish man there, it could be the pusher man. lol

[nehouma]

Look, if it is any stronger than weed don't touch it !!!

[NoHairMon]

One of the greatest and most iconic songs in history. Steppenwolf Live was the first album I ever bought. My daughter has it now and listens to it still.

[musicmanstingray1234]

Greatest intro and opening line ever?

[legatou]

Drugs have all been part of my life: LSD is King, but MD pure is less strong and makes you feel good. But drugs do kill your mind and brain, after all these years I know I loose a lot my memory, sometimes I feel like I dint understand correct things people say...I was a very inteligent guy(it's not vanity here), i'm a teacher and an artist and took a lot of academic studies...sudenly my mind is too tired too soon, i know it was from drug abuse...I even lost my capacity of reading, lost interests

[IMJR2000]

@legatou Could it possibly be from a weak mind??????

[legatou]

@IMJR2000 A weak mind never go so far, never try the maximum frontiers of the beyond within....a weak mind is affraid, and a weak mind never confess a failure or a trip where he went bad. A weak mind allways shows itself like a perfect one, the stronger one, never show any mistake in front of the others

[IMJR2000]

@legatou Well,,ask and recieve i always say...Wouldnt nor couldnt have been a better reply as far as im concerned...

[legatou]

@IMJR2000 weak mind never confess a failure or a trip where he went bad. A weak weak mind never go so far, never try the maximum frontiers of the beyond within....a weak mind is affraid, and allways shows itself like a perfect one, the stronger one, never show any mistake in front of the others...I was very panic sometimes, but also I was god...once I was Moises on top of a hill, opening the ocean....and it really opens!!

[adk1955]

Yes I see a yellowish man in the middlle. So don't worry, you're not trippin'

[KongsvingerKongen]

any one else that sees a yellowish man in the middle of the video?

[Guilherme89490380]

@KongsvingerKongen I saw man, I thought I had seen because I'm high. hahahahahahha

[legatou]

man, it's exactly the oposite: in acid the environement is essential! Or you can get easy into a bad trip. With ecstasy it's not so easy, but ecstasy it's better to dance. The only drug that no matter where you are everything is beautyfull, full of love, joy and your mind and body is completly full of perfection and empaty with everything is pure cristal of MDMA. I took a lot of Acid tripa (chemical and mushrooms), I know it can be the highest experience, but in the wrong place....BAD TRIP!!!

[bobbybobsta]

I put a lot of thought into this comment.

[wolfkarel]

35 peeps have sadly, been "pushed" ..... too much.

[thechicken13]

Vietnam. Thumbs up.

[norwegianblackcoffee]

the song isn't completely anti-drug. It's anti-pusher. You can push anything... not just drugs. But the dealer is the perfect metaphor. It's no secret that John Kay and the boys were no strangers to illicit things ;) John's attitude in all walks of life was "don't push me, I'll get to it on my own, in my own way and time. If you push me, I will end you." lol

[Jeffjohnson123]

Lost a dear friend to drugs many years ago.

Drugs don't kill people...... bullshit !

Weak dumbasses do drugs. Grow a pair.

Oh yeah, and what a damn good song !!!!!!

[PatentApplied]

@Jeffjohnson123 It depends on what drug.

Cocaine, Heroin and LSD, some old school drugs that people say makes no bad, are really fucked up. Cocaine and Heroin specially, LSD is just dangerous because it is easy to get an overdose.

But Cannabis is perfectly fine. Definitely better that cigarettes and even has medicinal use.

[whomad3you]

@PatentApplied

An overdose on LSD is virtually impossible.

[legatou]

@whomad3you An ACID overdose it's not like a Cocaine or heroine OD; Acid overdose can happen if you took too much, and you never come back, you get seriousely braindamage, you'll never be the same person again, and you start, from that day, to have really dificult in doing the simple day by day things

[finnemccool]

@whomad3you Are you kidding! An overdose on LSD is very possible. They usually jump out a window or wind up like Sid Barrett.

[whomad3you]

@PatentApplied

An overdose on LSD is impossible

[TheJuunit21]

Ironic that so many people are talking about the wonders of drugs on here when this song is very obviously anti-drug.

[happyharv1]

33 people are trying to say they are different and dont like this song...but they do ...oh yes they do....in thier souls they know it is a good song ..but they just want to be non conformist and disagree. You get those types..you meet them all the time...they just like to disagree thinking it is a way to make a statement. they would more than likely disagree with near anything...just to disagree.

That and they are brain dead anyhow....so frget them.

[happyharv1]

[hotmn4u]

need some acid

[alec00618]

33 people were the pusher

[Pazmore]

@alec00618 33 people got pushed.

[alec00618]

@Pazmore that's too few...

[blackhawk10972]

The pusher sells or offers dope to bystanders who are not asking or looking for it. A dealer sells drugs to people who are looking for it; usually people they know.

[stone8675309]

@blackhawk10972 A pusher takes advantage of addicts I know alot of dealers that don't deal with addicts cause they are a liability.

[taichifist]

That is the Way he did back then!! Awesome song!! Thanks for putting this up. :^D

[kfc63822]

The Pusher sells hardcore drugs like Cocaine and Heroin. The Dealer sells less-addictive drugs, like pot and LSD: "You know I smoked a lot of grass. Oh Lord! I popped a lot of pills.But I've never touched nothin'That my spirit could kill--this is by sound facts

[legatou]

the best drug now is MD : you have the best of the cocaine feeling with the best of the acid trip long feeling, without any risk of bad trip! it's impossible to have a bad trip with md....and also you dont have the depression hangover of coke...but you can say goodbye tou your memory :-)

[1234321mike1234321]

@legatou are you seriously trying to tell people of the 60's and 70's about ecstasy? And you have obviously never taken acid... MDMA is nothing like acid. And there is a horrible comedown.

[msmrselfdestruct]

@1234321mike1234321 You're right man. Ecstacy is fun but you have to have the perfect environment but acid everything is great!!!!! Just sayin'. His voice is wonderful this is music.

[1Foundation1]

@msmrselfdestruct i think you got it wrong, ecstacy is weak shit compared to acid.

[deerocks13]

@msmrselfdestruct Perfect environment? What the hell happened to popping whatever pills your friends shared with you whenever?

[stone8675309]

@1234321mike1234321 Yea if you take to much it sucks but pure mdma in the right dose is a wicked high.

[legatou]

@1234321mike1234321 ...Oooh Man, if I took Acid in the 80's and early 90's! Acid is responsabel for who I am today. Yes I took a lot of Acid, at the beach, in the green fields of Azorean islands, in the city...even spend 3 days in Acid with a super feeling that the world was so perfect in that state: full of baloons, love , etc. But I experienced also some really bad Trips, and was a nightmare of hours...it depends on your psicological condition and place. But with MDMA pure there's no badtrip

[legatou]

@1234321mike1234321 ...I think you never took good MDMA: there's no horrible comedown at all, with acid it's worst: the comedown in acid you start seeing reality as a world with no meaning, everything ugly, and you have a never ending Ungry in the stomach. But even worst is the Cocaine comedown: that's what i call the really bad trip (you have to take pills to sleep or something....or you do the worst mistake: start using heroin to cut the coke hangover). With MD it never happens.But abuse kills

[sonofscars]

@legatou actually comedown is the best part. the paranoia makes it a better trip. u have to grasp your trip. supply good music. think about your life and what you want. it really is a good tool not a drug. maybe you just tripepd out bad. of course life sucks. duh. what can we do. money politics and poverty are here to stay. but at elast some have a dream.

[legatou]

@kfc63822 .well, LSD is not a soft drug, and your spirit really can get killed. I don't take acid anymore because at my age (41) a 6/7 hours trip is too heavy. But i use Cocaine sometimes...yes, it takes control of your mind if you dont make long interludes without using it.

[kfc63822]

@legatou the pusher sells HARD drugs tht leave your mind to scream the dealer sells pot anickel bag will buy lots of sweet dreams thats me how I see it mayb im wrong

[plushyshotgun1]

I once watched this video high and I saw Jesus, then he morphed into a titan and then into an extraterrestrial standing over a pyramid

[legatou]

I say:"God Damn the saturdaynight unprofessional dealers" who have the cell phone desconnected!!! how stupid can they be! A dealer should be working 24h a day, at any time or any hour.....desapear on the weekends?? It's becoming very rare to find a good dealer, with good stuff, allways ready to sell when you want it...shit!

[legatou]

After all this years I still don't know exactly what or Who is THE PUSHER!!!!

...He's the drug dealer?...or is that crazy friend you have that's allways ready for one more dose, and push you to get high again and again???....or is the devil inside of you allways riging the "DRUGS BELL" on your mind???

[kfc63822]

@legatou the pusher sells HARD drugs tht leave your mind to scream the dealer sells pot anickel bag will buy lots of sweet dreams thats me how I see it mayb im wrong

[brunello619]

thumbs up for acid and grass
