"Michael Monarch was the original Steppenwolf guitarist. He played with the band during their early years and was known for his bluesy and psychedelic guitar style. Monarch's contributions can be heard on some of the band's most famous songs, including \"Born to Be Wild\" and \"Magic Carpet Ride.\" However, he left the band in 1968, and John Kay, the lead vocalist, became the primary guitarist for Steppenwolf."
