• AnonymousThis song is my fire up song
• Miss Lady from Earth There was a jewelry/diamond commercial with an old man and this song was playing in the background what commercial was it?
• Chuck from Center City, MnOne of the members of War (can’t remember which one) was interviewed on the radio many years ago. He said the song was inspired by the young son of one of the other band members, who was riding around in one of those little pedal cars - hence the line “low rider don’t use no gas now”. Don’t know if it’s true, but it came straight from a band member and it makes sense.
• Tom M from Vancouver BcI have been searching for years for anything to do with a long version of this song. It torments me every time I hear the end section when the sax solo because I was told that that solo continues and the song runs close to 20 min. long in one version. I have never heard anything to corroborate this but I would LOVE to hear this version if it exists anywhere.
• John from Grand Island, NyHey Nick from Chicago, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds isn't about LSD, Julian Lennon drew a picture for his father and when John asked what it was Julian said "It's Lucy...in the sky...with Diamonds". The "Lucy" in the picture was a childhood friend of Julian at pre school. They have kept in touch for over 40 years and the picture still exists. Now you know.
• Nick from Chicago, IlGuy driving the low rider is definitely a drug dealer. Also, to say that the song is not about drugs because the band members say its not...well all i hav to say about that is: Remember John Lennon said the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was not about LSD.
• John from Nashville, Tn"Lowrider" is an incredible song considering the fact that it only uses one chord (G).

• Leah from Brooklyn, NyWe just saw WAR performing at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, and the band of Lonnie Jordan and his new recruits was quite good!

• Cameron from Koroit, Australiathis song doesn't just get the retired car theives in gone in 60 seconds in the mood...it gets anyone in the mood to go out and let their lady (their car not their mistress) take them for a ride!
• Dave from Cardiff, WalesThis song was used in the UK in 'Marmite' commercials between 1994 and 2002
• Brandon from Peoria, Ilare we sure this song is about a CAR?? It don't use no gas now. Maybe it's one of those cars that runs on water that the government is trying to keep under wraps...whoa man.

• Horace from Western, MdThis was *not* their biggest U.S. hit without Burdon. War was a big R&B group from 1971 thru the early 80's. Their biggest hit was "The Cisco Kid" in 1973 (Pop #2 hit). Other hits as big or bigger than "Low Rider" were "The World is a Ghetto" (#7, 1973), "Why Can't We Be Friends" (#6, 1975) and summer (#7, 1976).
