And Ray also provided the bass line on that same keyboard! At the same time!

And one of the only songs not written by Jim Morrison! I am prerty positive Ray wrote it...

@@trevoradams3457 - Yep, saw them in Boston when they went on tour after this album was released and there was no bass player. BTW the first band on the stage that night was the Stone Poneys with Linda Ronstadt promoting their new album which had the song Different Drum on it.

@@EmfasizE Wrong, Robby Krieger wrote 90% of the song, Ray came up with the organ intro...oh yea, Jim wrote the lyrics to one of the verses...

@@EmfasizE Robby krieger wrote light my fire

Calm down haha

Agree. She gets it

FACTS! She totally gets it without fully realising it! She's wonderful!

but she is dragging a lot of dead weight sadly.

@@holdencaulfield8429 I wonder is that deliberate? Are they role playing? Like the straight man to the "funny one" in a comedy duo

and Brad is such a stiff.

She was really cool watching the end by the doors check it out.

At least Lex is - Brad is a good foil for the positivity of Lex.

They both seem very honest about their reactions. When i first started watching yt reactors to classic rock it seemed like a lot of them pretended to like it just to get likes from the fans of the band's they were reacting to.

This is the story of every one of their videos. Lex gets it and Brad just sits there with a confused look on his face the entire time making everything awkward bringing down Lex's vibe. The dude just needs to not be in the videos at all. He just doesn't get music and that's fine. Like if the lyrics aren't easy enough for an 8 year old to grasp then he ain't gonna get it too and that's all he cares about is understanding every single word the moment it's said.

@@mofosoto nah definitely not, Brad is the perfect foil to lex and he’s actually honest about things instead of faking reactions like so many others do. He doesn’t make anything awkward at all, just because he’s not jamming out doesn’t mean he’s making things awkward. They’re are good duo together, Lex is great but it would not be as good with just her and no Brad.

@@mofosoto You're right on target, he is blessed with Lex.

She’s an old head like me, I love her lmao

I don't know, doesn't sound like she cared much for LA Woman, which is another one with Jim doing the real bluesy-rock vocals thing.

Yes.

Yes! I love the entire Doors catalogue. They're my favorite band, but no other song gets the people hype as much as Roadhouse Blues. Done many a karaoke on that one, or just randomly playing it on the jukebox in which everybody joins in the fun. Must react.

I wanna hear Lex's description of her mental video to that one.

Ooh, good call, especially with his psychology background.

He be so confused

or maybe Soft Parade. omg

He would be excellent to watch trying to decipher Iron Butterfly's IN- A-GADDA-DA-VIDA kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kKmbe8Sfq5raYas.html

@@felixdzerjinsky5244 lol, that would be great

He did this when they played live, but they often employed a session bass player for their recordings.

@@bentaylor8038 Indeed. Larry Knechtel did bass on a few of the songs on the first album (listen to the 'pluckiness' of the bassline on "Soul Kitchen"), but on others they just used Ray's Fender Rhodes keyboard bass - "Break on Through", "The End", and "Light My Fire" are just the four Doors with no bass guitar overdubs. Doug Lubahn did bass on many of their later albums, Lonnie Mack famously contributed bass to "Roadhouse Blues", and session wizard Jerry Scheff played bass through all of the LA Woman album.

They did use a bass player in many songs.

This band has so many good stories like this. I believe Johnny cash did something similar with the song “Sunday morning coming down”. Rock has always challenged authority 🤙

But he did not lunge at the camera as the movie depicts

When Sullivan's producer told them they'd never appear on the show again Morrison said: Hey man, we already did the Ed Sullivan show.

@@hollybeat6901 That Oliver Stone shit sucked on many levels.

I agree. Movie did not do Morrison or The Doors justice.

and to add something more , bass , what a absolute genius.

That’s not fair to say, do you follow their other channel where he is more in his element? Brad is just an analytical logical type but his views are his own and don’t follow the trends of his generation at all. Lex simply has more of a musical artistic personality which is why she gets more out of these than he does.

@@iamthepope9167 What makes you say she has a "musical and artistic personality"?

@@bela-sofia34 Body language, her face, you can see she is happy to be going on the journey even if she doesn't know if she 'likes' it, or understands it. She certainly has imagination.

@@althepalno1164 Enjoying something is not the same thing as being artistic and musical, that's the bare minimum for a reaction video to appear to enjoy the process regardless of your own knowledge or skill. What a great idea for a reaction channel though, showing disdain and dislike for the thing would be awesome! 🤓

@@bela-sofia34 if you really want to be technical, maybe there’s really no such thing as a “musical personality”, but she definitely seems to understand music on a deeper level than a layperson ,as if she could be a musician herself. Spending a bit of time on the channel will make that apparent to anybody who isn’t just completely aloof or socially inept. She has tonal recognition, as you can usually hear her hum or sing the tune pretty close to correct pitch. Her body language clearly shows she understands rhythm. So yeah maybe there’s really no such thing as “musical personality”, but she seems to love and connect with music deeply, so much so that she decided to make publicly listening to music part of her career. You seem like you might be an uptight personality judging by the way you asked for an explanation lol.

definitely, knowing well of his oedipus obsession

The should just listen to The End, in a non censored version I think...

@@Viraxii nothing to do with it. Light my fire was written by Robbie(to Lynn) , and jim put some things there. The End, was written, only by Jim, and it was to an old girlfriend he had..

Yeah it's explicit 😁

@@ghanahumber937 you could almost see her blushing.

Lay down on the floor of your dorm room, place the speakers next to your ears...

@@RutlandRick I have the old Klipschorn speakers, that I bought in 1972, when my enlistment in the Air Force was over. Their advertisement was, "As loud as a live performance." They weren't kidding either. The sound of the bass at a volume setting of 4, out of 10, will make your ears bleed. lol,lol,lol... The Ventures do an instrumental version of this, that is played a little faster, but if you have a record player where you can adjust the rpm's, it will really take you to another world.

Agreed. Live

Total agreement

Wow, I'm not sure if they are ready for The End

@@Telly03 Brad will go nuts trying to figure it out.

also break no through

I like peace frog.

I always thought that their song "Wishful Sinful" on the "Soft Parade" album was an underrated gem.

Everyone always forgets the crystal ship

@@emelt3377 I’ll check it out the doors for a lot of people is a band that goes by the way side

I can imagine her reaction if she ever listens to Steve Vai's 'Tender Surrender'. xD

It rings so true that I'll definitely be thinking of that next time I hear the song. That "nerr nerr nerr nerrrr" at the end of it is definitely, ah, climactic.

@@module79l28 Oh myyyyy

And the organ at the end was the organ going in again😆

Boy would I love to see that!!!!

Wow

I have 3 older brothers, my oldest being 18 years older then me. I grew up listening to everything from Elvis to Nirvana. The doors were one of my favourite bands growing up.

They were great live and Jim didn't want to leave the stage till long after the others were ready to go.

And if you think the music takes you on a journey, you should eat a tiny little square of paper and check them out....life changing!

Cardio cardio cardio

and Huxley in turn took the title from William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".

She is a dollbaby!!!!

The End is out there. isn’t there like a minute and a half of Jim just grunting and moaning? Gotta love it.

@@treebeard8475 One of my favorites along with When The Music’s Over which they should react to as well

@@animeman84 that’s a great song second favorite for me.

Agree with "The End" and "When the Music's Over." I also recommend this special treat for Lex: "Waiting for the Sun." You will thank me for that one. Other good choices include: Roadhouse Blues Love me Two Times (the above two songs are among the best road trip driving songs of all time) Hello, I Love You

This isn't his thing. He should bow out gracefully and leave this to Lex. It makes no sense for him to react to music when can't truly appreciate it.

@@analogblues That's not true at all in my opinion. This channel works because of the contrast between the two of them. It's creates discussion between them. Lex is great, but they are better together.

@@analogblues Well..... I would disagree about him making an exit. At least at this point, anyway. Brad, for better or worse, IS an accurate representation of the modern audience. There are many, many millions of people like him whose artistic sensibilities have been shaped by the music (mostly hip-hop) they've been spoon-fed over the last 20 years. So, in that regard, he is the absolute perfect person to react to these classics so that we can see if the track has any relevance at all to the contemporary listener. And he's honest, he's not a cheerleader trying to curry favor with all the viewers that have listened to these songs so many times and love them so much. Some reactors love every song, and there's no way that can be true, they're just trying to build their subscriber base and constantly reassure the viewers that, yes, the music you love is, and always will be, THE BEST EVER. I mean, I love music, and I'm in my 60's, but there are so many gold and platinum records from the 60's,70's and 80's that are just "meh" to me. They do nothing for me, and many of them I actually loathe. I hate them. From my perspective, we need Brad. Brad is a great litmus test to measure the timeless appeal of a song. Now, in terms of Lex, jeez, I can't explain her and her exquisite affinity for music. Reincarnation, maybe? She's an aberration among people in her generation. I don't know how she got to be the way she is, but I love it.

I wonder if he'd like punk. More to the point.

Some people just don’t feel certain types of instruments or beats. Maybe he does like it but is just a stoic person idk 😂

tolerating the Doors??? get real! who's tolerating you? goodness haha

@@mofosoto lmao 😂😂 made me laugh but different tokes for different folks no one should be forced to like something.

I'd say poor Lex.

Sometimes it takes time and multiple listens to fully appreciate a song. Not everybody "gets it" the first time. I think that people tend to forget that some of those songs that they now consider classics didn't exactly knock their socks off the first time they heard it. And sometimes people can't even remember what they thought about a song the first time they heard it. For example, I couldn't tell you what I thought about Light My Fire the first time I heard it. All I can say is that it was probably around '77 or '78. Thirty years ago, though, I loved it. I still do.

And not just any organ... 60s - 70s rock - most likely (pretty sure) a Hammond (B3 ?) played through a Leslie. It's a pretty iconic sound.

You clearly don't listen to modern Rock...

To be fair, you're right; I don't listen to much modern rock. But it's been a while since I've noticed an organ in unfamiliar music that I overhear. I don't think this was a Hammond organ; they have quite a bit bigger, fatter sound. That being said, I couldn't tell you which kind it is.

Yes. Modern keyboards like Korgs and synths replaced the organ sound. I love the Hammond sound but you instantly know the era when you hear one.

@@ralphkern380 Vox Continental actually. Manzarek played the vox with one hand and the fender rhodes bass with the other.

After a joint...

@@jonathanlocke6404 yeah im with you... After a doobie hed relax and let the music take him over

Haahahaa great idea

@@jonathanlocke6404 Acid. haha

@@ralpholson7616 Let's start with a joint and see if it needs to be elevated from there...

I know! It's so distracting. It's never in rhythm. And who rocks side-to-side to this music?

@@analogblues who rocks side to side with no music lol Lex's reaction is awesome.

The doors did hella acid, not just a little lmao

@@videotrash_online I know dude, I was being kind 👍

Yes!!!! All of these!!! As well as "The End" and Celebration of the Lizard: Not to Touch the Earth

Well he was an old stick in the mud very conservative chill out baby get on the groovy train

It actually hurts to watch him not getting it, while she totally does.

Is that what's going on there? I always wondered. I always figured Ray dubbed in the bass parts later.

It's a head trip
