Steppenwolf

"I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder"

Who knew Steppenwolf was from Canada. The core members formed The Sparrows in Toronto Ontario, Canada. Later changes included changing their name to Steppenwolf and moving the band to Los Angeles, USA. Lead vocalist John Kay was born in Germany moving to North America as a teenager.



Steppenwolf invented the term "heavy metal" in it's song Born To Be Wild. Other songs of note are Magic Carpet Ride, and The Pusher.

"I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here"

To be completed later. Many of the other artists are completed.
