wanted...

That's true.
Still the song is about touring and how it can make you burnt out.
If you watch the video it's pretty obvious.
The steel horse just fits the cowboy theme better.

in this case, it isn't. if you watch the numerous interviews with the band where they discuss the concept behind the song, you will see that they were referring to the tour bus.

Aloha !

I'm going the "Imbeingapaininthearseway" now by saying videos most of the time have a storyline that doesn't follow the storyline of the song itself but have one that is made up by the director who didn't dig the song.

:P

It is about the tour bus, If you watch the video its obvious. Best video, Best song

Sebastiaan is right, it does refer to Jon's motorcycle, but in a way you can refer to it as the tour bus if you are talking about the band and the touring.

i think supersonic is right. i have read several times in interviews that the steel horse is a bike. lol well, can you imagine a horse having the shape of a bus? :P

Supersonic is right in the sense that a Steel Horse is another name for a motorcycle. But with the band touring at the rate they were at that time, I'm positive they were refering the tour bus. If the whole damn song is about life on the road, it wouldn't make much sense for them to throw in a line about riding a motorcycle.

Plus, in interviews, the band have confirmed it. They didn't stop riding busses until the SWW tour and I assume "Wanted" was written about the 7800 tour?
