George Vreeland Hill brilliant music ....doors will always be played on the radio...some of the best music ever !

John brought a Latin vibe, Robby a jazz influence, Ray's keys were carnivalesque and Jim's vocals were tinged with Sinatra. And it all came together in a weird and wonderful way.

johnzaq1 I've heard Indian music drummers from India sound similar to the sound of The Doors.

George Vreeland Hill Me too. I pass by these sites just by chance almost everyday. Hard not to think about them every time.

They had a revival in the 80s? I was too young to even remember that let alone the 60s. Damn it.

@@desertrose1226 When the biography "no one here gets out alive" came out.

yes, just some bones left in a box in Paris

mike stang The mustang was giving to morrison by electria records for a bonus on the first album, I believe

@@steve-rs6vk Could be, all the blogs on this Shelby GT500 seem to think it was crushed at some point, Morrison had crashed it while boozing several times, but even an auto salvage yard wouldn't crush a Shelby, these guys know cars, it's their business, all Shelby's are all collectible, even in the era when this one crashed, it may be out there somewhere in a barn, garage, backyard or even in Mexico, and they don't know the providence.

That would be so cool if it was found all these years later

@@flowersinthefire The "Bullitt" Mustang was Steve McQueens, and was found, but the owner kept it a secret for 20 years, his son finally told everybody his dad had it, it was SOLD at Mecum Auction for $3.5 million dollars last year, it had a letter with the car from McQueen asking to buy it back, but he never answered the letter. Jimbo's Shelby is out there somewhere, worth $$$$$

He is.

He's very candid. I love that about him.

He embodies the 1960s idealistic spirit.

And he because rejected society’s values.

Of course the Whiskey is still open.

When Jim died they were nothing - Other voices - sheesh.

Ray and Robbie wanted to cash in by letting Cadillac use their songs. John didn’t.

1991 when the movie came out.

Peace Bro S zep were rock giants. doors were jim.period

Not so hard to grasp if you were an artist. You feel things deeply. Plus, his death appears to have been an accident. He wasn't on a death trip.

Nah, the only thing Zep did was not credit the blues masters on the early records, which they corrected.

Well, the 80's. People can't research easily like today's world. We wield a different perception

@John Gulino John used drugs. And Jim was not just a "drunken singer". John was not a saint too.

And Zep's lyrics were a joke.

Feel the same way,....guy is a tool.

@@ronaldhartke982 and the name of your band is....

cmskid20 it was a fat burger 30 years ago, now all that history is gone..

+C Anthony u r a libtard and I will pray 4 u!

+mark thomas In Rays Book about the Doors, Morrison wanted to kick him out several times. Didnt like him, but needed him. Ray a peacemaker was the glue to keeping it all together. Densmore was porrtrayed in his book as a moody, downcast, depressive person who was seldom ever happy. Obviously he wasnt much of a Morrison fan and still has issues with him.

And how did anyone behave in their early twenties? Or maybe again, how would you have been in your early twenties, exposed to powerful mind-altering drugs, living in the late nineteen-sixties...in L.A.??? Oh yeah, in a rock n' roll band, dealing with James Douglas Morrison, and countless other external pressures & nefarious influences (meeting people who were approaching you on a daily basis mainly for money, usury and greed...?) How, just how would you have fared...Truly? Ask yourself. Give the man a break. He's alive and he's doing fine. Show me a rock band that didn't experience internal turmoil, especially at that time in history.

Good point, but I still think he needs to resolve some things.

Don't we all..? Thanks for letting me vent. Anyway, quoting Val Kilmer, portraying what JM "said" in the Oliver Stone film to Ed Sullivan, "we're a sullen group Ed." Once sullen, always sullen. In his contemporary press interviews, Densmore seems pretty grounded as of late.

youlikethisusername you're fucking crazy. So because he didn't ruin his life with drugs he's mediocre to you. This man is a hell of a drummer

@@buddyholly3527 John used drugs at the beggining. Besides that, Jim was not only the alcohol and drugs that he used. Jim was a poet, a wonderful singer, a great artist. I think that John is a good drummer, but I can't stand his personality. Jim was not a saint, but John isn't too.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irmTdtR50ajFl2Q.html here is one song they took credit for when it was in fact an old standard :) there are tons of others on the first album. Still a great band :)

Your an idiot, break on through your stupidity

@gaddjodilo John always disliked Jim. People don't need to worship anyone, but they also don't need to be rude and dismissive all the time.
