No band was like the Doors. The lyrics and music were mesmerizing and spoke of the angst in Morrison's tortured psyche. His genius was unique and the musicians in the band were awesome and so creative. It broke my heart to see such a poetry and music icon die so young.

@FreeSociety1 11 ай бұрын

I get tired of Jim Morrison getting ALL the credit though. It was Robby Krieger (guitarist) that WROTE their two very biggest hit songs: "Light My Fire" and "Love Me Two Times", and had great creativity & style as a guitarist. And then Ray Manzarek on Organ & Piano was totally unique musician that defined the whole sound of the Band. Conversely, Morrison was musically illiterate and ONLY wrote lyrics. So The Doors were NOT ever about just one guy. Manzarek & Krieger were the true Musical Force of the Band, and the drummer John Densmore was also quite original, as he combined Rock drum & Bossa Nova drum styling together .... which sounded fabulous.

One of the things that made the Doors unique was that their instrumentalists had been serious students of jazz and flamenco, with a strong affinity for the blues, before they started writing rock hits, while most rockers were self-taught and made it up as they went along. Their music had a subtlety and elegance no other band could match at the time and they’re still fresh and relevant.

The Doors saw me through high School and the Vietnam war. Still takes me back anytime I hear them. A very very special band. This is just one of their many sublime tunes. Ray Manzerak was a beast on the keyboards and played the bass line like a bass player would. Each one was very special even among other special players. Changing anyone of them at the time would have diminished them. They had a wonderful mix of jazz and rock going unlike anyone else. John was a converted Jazz drummer and Robbie was a bit Jazzy as well.

One of the "coolest" bands ever and musically, they were different and definitely had their own sound and vibe. Jim was a poet and his lyrics were some of the most creative of that genre. I would say that Jim was one of the best frontmen and performers.... always fun to watch. You have to list to "Break on Through", which you might recognise from Forrest Gump. The Doors did perform on The Ed Sullivan Show and agreed to change the lyrics to their song, "Light My Fire" for TV. The lyric in question was "Girl we couldn't get much higher", which they thought referred to drug use. During the performance, Jim, being Jim, looked directly into the camera and sang the lyric as written, emphasizing the word "Higher". (Was reminded below that this was the movie version, which is absolutely true.) During the performance, he just sang it without changing the lyric, which the band was against in the first place. Love Jim Morrison. Love the Doors. Love that moment in rock history.

They never knew which was going to show up at the studio or concert. One of the big frustrations near the end was the number of times he wouldn't show up at all. They'd record what they could without him. Then when he'd show up he'd be furious that it didn't sound the way he wanted despite not being there to offer any input. If he'd gotten his inner demons and personal issues under control, they could have had probably had 2-3 more good albums. But he lost that battle. A sad parallel is Hendrix.

That being the song of Jim 's that is a goodbye letter to LA, when he had plans to split to Paris. That song is "LA Woman". And of course Jim was great on all the Doors songs. But, many people can't get past Jim and acknowedge the great musicianship of the band in total.

Val Kilmer landed the role because he could sing as well as pull of the look. I was in highschool when it hit the theaters, so a few of us got together to see it opening night. In the theater, the people behind us lit up and smoked Mary Jane all through the movie. I had no previous experience with this particular substance. Needless to say, I really enjoyed the film.

Two of my favorite songs from the Doors are "Light My Fire" and "The End", respectively. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this amazing group.

Van Morrison and Jim Morrison are two very different people. Van is Irish, by the way. (I'd suggest listening to "Brown Eyed Girl" or "Moondance" by Van Morrison in a later video. Or "Gloria" by the band Them, which he was in before going solo. He's great.) My small and convoluted Jim Morrison private joke is that I have a tattoo on my leg of a lizard as a reminder of my time in the first Gulf War. There was a lizard that lived by my tent that I would occasionally feed at night, and I named him "Mojo". The name is a Doors reference since Jim Morrison was called "The Lizard King" (he used the line "I am the Lizard King, I can do anything" in one song) and also "Mr. Mojo Risin'" (which is an anagram of Jim Morrison). Putting the two together resulted in naming the lizard Mojo. I liked the Doors, but in my opinion a lot of their lasting popularity comes from the mystique of Morrison being an out of control figure who died young, much like the movie star James Dean. Or as a 1981 Rolling Stone Magazine article on the appeal of the Doors famously put it "He's Hot, He's Sexy, and He's Dead." Oh, and since you're very knowledgeable on movies, Oliver Stone directed a movie on The Doors in 1991, starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison and Meg Ryan as his girlfriend Pamela Courson. That may explain why you thought The Doors were a 90s thing.

Back during the height of their popularity, they were once invited to appear on "The Ed Sullivan Show", a popular entertainment variety TV show of the day. They performed their hit song "Light My Fire" when they went on. Before they did, however, they were told that in the lyric "Girl, we couldn't get much higher", the were told to change the last word in that line to "better" due to it being a drug reference. Jim Morrison pretty much ignored this, and sang the original line live on the air. As a result, they were banned from ever appearing on Sullivan again. They didn't really seem to care though. I guess being on that show even once was considered pretty big in those days.

The Doors are such an amazing band, with so many hits and very listenable music. To the best of my knowledge, nobody else sounds like the Doors. They only produced music for a few years because the lead singer - Jim Morrison - was one of those who died young. As you noted, he's a member of the "27 club" which includes Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. More recent inductees include Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse, who also sadly died at age 27. I'd say the style of the Doors is "psychedelic blues rock."

Robby Krieger played spanish guitar 🎸. The difference was *the lyrics of Jim Morrison,* who was an avid reader of poetry, mythology and anthropology books. He somehow blended his knowledge with poetry, introspection and psychedelics. He was unique and non-replaceable. Krieger, Manzarek and Densmore were very creative musicians, they blended different musical styles to create a unique combination, which performed well along with the musical revolution and counterculture of the 60s.
