After Kay disbanded Steppenwolf, former members [[Goldy McJohn]] and [[Nick St. Nicholas]] formed a "revival act" called "New Steppenwolf". McJohn did not last long, but St. Nicholas continued with the venture for several years. Various incarnations included, according to author [[Dave Thompson (author)|Dave Thompson]], a "revolving door of musicians" consisting of "jobbing players".<ref>{{cite book | last =Thompson | first =Dave | title =Smoke on the Water: The Deep Purple Story| publisher =[[ECW Press]] | date =2004 | url =https://books.google.com/books?id=LzzCw6xs9roC&q=new+steppenwolf&pg=PA225 | isbn =9781550226188 }}</ref> Among those players were vocalist Tom Holland (who would go on to form the B'zz and later Holland) and drummer [[Steve Riley (drummer)|Steve Riley]] of future [[W.A.S.P.

''The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll'' described these bands as "unprofessional, bogus versions" of Steppenwolf.<ref name="stone">{{cite book | title =The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll | publisher =Simon & Schuster | date =2001 | url =https://archive.org/details/rollingstoneency00holl | isbn =9780743201209 }}</ref> Although Kay and Edmonton had originally licensed the use of the "New Steppenwolf" name, they later sued for breach of contract. St. Nicholas agreed in 1980 to cease use of the name, but legal disputes about promotional use of the Steppenwolf name continued until 2000.<ref>{{cite book | last =Burr | first =Sherri | title =Burr's Entertainment Law in a Nutshell | publisher =West Academic | date =2012 | pages =PT274 | isbn =9781628106435 }}</ref>
