This is Jim's love letter to the city of L.A....his woman. A very cool metaphor.
Even better is Mr Mojo Rising
Risin
I think it's allegory, not metaphor.
And Mr Mojo Risin' is an anagram
Exactly. It's the city personified as a woman
LA Woman (singular) is a song about the city of Los Angles as if it were a woman. "I see your Hair is Burnin'," refers to the Fires that occur in the Hollywood Hills area, due the Hot, Santa Anna winds that happen every year that cause these destructive fires. One of The Doors greatest songs. From way back in 1967. Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix all died at age 27, and were Rock stars from the same time period. They will forever be known as members of "The 27 Club." So much talent gone so quickly.
Actually it was way back in 1971....
I had this idiot that called himself a doors fan ,he tried to tell me he could decipher the true meaning of la woman..it's about pam...I told him he's full of shit..even the doors have came out and said exactly what you said..some people man..smh!
@@klintburns7230 Last album, I believe.
Released in 1971 from the album of the same name. I know, I thought it must be from 67 too
@@jasonstacy5587 yes 1971, the year he died😢
The Doors were among the most controversial & influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly due to Jim Morrison's lyrics & voice. They had a lot of hits including "The End", "Light My Fire", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "Love Me Two Times", "L.A. Woman", "People Are Strange", "Hello, I Love You", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Roadhouse Blues", "Love Her Madly", "Riders On The Storm". Sadly Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of only 27 but left a great legacy of music.
"The Crystal Ship" ...."Waiting For The Sun"...
Most of their big hits were written by Robbie Krieger the guitarist.
And sadly his Drinking. I saw the Doors in LA
His dad was a very high ranking Navy Admiral.
"Mr Mojo Risin" is an anagram, with the same letters as the name "Jim Morrison"...
The band members met in and around Venice Beach, mainly as students at nearby UCLA.
I am a helLA native myself, but was only 13 when Jim died, so never saw them in concert. I did see Jimi H, who died at the same age as Jim and Janis J: all members of the "27 club" that also took Amy Winehouse decades later.
Don't forget Mr. Kurt Cobain...
And Kristen Pfaff,@@klintburns7230.
@@fredkrissman6527 I can't believe you forgot 2 people!😜 but I don't think bass players count.🤦♂️Courtney prolly killed her too though..
And Kurt Cobain.
I never knew that Mr Mojo Rising. How did I not know. I've watched documentaries and everything
I was hoping someone else knew what Mr. Mojo Risin meant. Not many people do. Thank you for knowing. I am a bartender and I bet people shots at my bar if they know what it means. They never do, I always win. Lol
John Densmore was a jazz drummer.
Ray Manzarek was a classically trained keyboardist. Robbie Krieger was a flamenco guitarist, who had started playing acoustic guitar shortly before the Doors first formed. As a matter of fact, he was brand new to the electric guitar, but never played with a pick because he was so comfortable with his fingerstyle training.
And Jim Morrison was really more of a poet and experimental, avant-garde artist than a singer at first. And he was incredibly shy.
None of them were what you might expect a rock star to be. But combine all of those chemicals together, and KA-POW! Nobody sounded like them - they were weird and deep and funny and scary all at once, and are still instantly recognizable today.
And Jerry Scheff (though not a Door) started out on Tuba and moved to jazz bass in the 60s. He was Elvis Presley's live bassist and dropped in to play on this album in between Elvis gigs - the only time they use an actual bass on a studio album. He wrote about his experience recording this in his book "Way Down".
And Jim Morrison never sang until The Doors. He considered himself a poet. Always.
Love my folks who love The Doors
Mr mojorisin is Jim Morrison backwards to some extent.
Morrison,from Melbourne florida.his father believe it or not was a top admiral in our navy during the Vietnam war. Leading to his rebelliousness by the time he met organist ray at UCLA at art school.
The entire album La Woman is filled with amazing songs. Its a must listen. Blues to Jazz to Rock....Riders on the Storm...WOW
This band is, and was so head of us. Very good instrumentals and vocals.
There are few bands that can set an aura, emotion and mysticism like The Doors. Another would be Pink Floyd.
There is an interview where Jim pretty much predicted modern music before the technology was even available. He saw where it was going. If he were alive today, there's a good chance their music would sound nothing like the 60's-early70's Doors. He wasn't resisting change, he was embracing it, he wanted to experiment with electronic music. He died much too soon, but it really wasn't going to end any other way with him.
Absolutely. Very progressive rock
This album L.A. Woman, their last, was the bluesiest album they made. They have a great catalog that was made in a very short time. Jim was the man! He was very intelligent, had the looks and charisma, an amazing voice with crazy range. Had the demons too. And the band were no slouches either.
There are so many great songs to choose from The Doors. Follow the requests.....you can’t go wrong.
Some of my favs are:
Blue Sunday
Waiting for the Sun
The Spy
Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)
Moonlight Drive
When the Musics Over
Yep right there as well. Stay thirsty my friend's
The last album with Jim. They made two more albums as a trio, Other Voices and Full Circle. One song of this era Doors was called The Mosquito, was a minor hit in some countries.
@@riko3766 I know of both those albums. The Mosquito is actually pretty catchy. Just not the same band without Jim.
@@Meyzen76 I like it too. I´m pretty sure Mosquito was the first Doors song I ever heard on the radio when I was just a kid. Knowing nothing of the band of course.
Asia when you said it "gave you that Charlie Brown feel" I was like "what the heck is this girl talking about?" but then it hit me hearing the Charlie Brown theme song in my head and you are 100% right on with that observation. That's next level musical awareness and comprehension; nice!
Kinda messes with the memory though.
Vincent Guaraldi, who wrote the music for "Peanuts", was a pretty highly regarded jazz pianist and composer, and I would be surprised if he wasn't an influence on the keyboardist for The Doors, Ray Manzarek. The instrumentalists of The Doors were all pretty big jazz fans...
It’s ragtime-y that’s why it sounds similar.
Live once. Yeah, this was one of those magical nights in the studio. Capturing this sort of fire every night ... I can't imagine. It's just fantastic they captured this on tape.
Charlie brown I think play la woman animated of course
Vince Guaraldi, the composer of the music for Charlie Brown, was a great jazz pianist (acoustic piano, not electric). His rhythms are very similar to some of Ray Manzarek's playing in this song. I agree.
Asias's smile and laugh could light up any room.
For sure! 😁
Great reaction to great song! Just a note: The line in the song 'Mr. Mojo Risin'. If you rearrange the letters, it spells Jim Morrison.
Actually it spells jiM MoRrison. .🤭🤭😜
*anagram
@@klintburns7230 😂
He told the band if he ever disappeared he would contact them by using. Mr. Mojo Risin.
The greatest driving song of all time. Gives me an image of speeding down a wide open boulevard at night with the streetlights zipping by. Morrison's love song to Los Angeles.
Yess - This was Jim’s love song and tribute to his beloved LA. The whole feel is driving into the city at dusk and doing your thing🤟
This and Highway Star are my favourite driving songs
If you're going for a drive, you've gotta roll down the windows and add Tom Petty's Learning to Fly!
Reminds me of driving Sepulveda through the canyon. Good times.
The soundtrack to Charlie Brown Christmas is
jazz. Also, the song “Linus and Lucy” has a similar
feel, especially the piano. You’re more right than you know!
That's Vince Guaraldi
Vince Guaraldi's Trio did all the Charlie Brown Specials and Movies.
One of the last great masterpieces from the Doors as they drove headlong into oblivion. Just as they managed to become a stronger, tighter, unit at the end of their scorched run. The raw, ragged, vocals. The free wheeling instrumentals capturing the last of their magic before Jim would escape into the ether. Even 5o years later, this music still sounds powerful and leaves us wanting more. R.I.P. Jim and Ray.
well said... it was quite the coda for morrison.... he reminded me of ali in manila. past his prime, but for this last album, he conjured up all his experiences & put all his heart & poetic soul into one last ballz to the wall statement. he was in his prime in '68, but the wisdom in this album makes it different and special. riders is even more special imo. many in the indust got too caught up in his persona, looks and trouble making to overlook what a unique angle he could put into music when it came together. morrison wasnt as consistent as some of his peers like jagger, plant, but he was more dangerous and willing to scale the wall moreso then them. again, when it came together at different moments in their career, their currency was strong & quite the wild card. you wont ever see anyone in his mold again. truly singular.
The Doors have a great catalog of music. Enjoy more of their magic.
"When the Music's Over" is an amazing song by them. Kinda long but fun as hell, intense, awesome lyrics.
Ya really have to check out The Doors studio versions of "Riders on the Storm" and "Peace Frog" ..
Couldn't agree more!
This!!!!!
The whole album is 🔥.
One of my favourites.
The song is basically a love letter to Los Angeles.
Absolutely
Back in the day and still true today - whenever you were driving and this song came on the radio - you would always step on that gas pedal harder.
"L.A. woman, Sunday afternoon..." The Doors give you several vibes in one song. They recorded many sixties classics, from "Light My Fire" in 1967 to "Riders on the Storm" in 1971. The Doors took their name from the 1954 book "The Doors of Perception" written by Aldous Huxley about his psychedelic experience under the influence of mescaline. Huxley also wrote the 1932 dystopian science fiction novel "Brave New World" which you might have read in school. When you're ready for more from The Doors, check out some of these gems -- "Strange Days", "Love Her Madly", "Hello, I Love You", "Five to One", "Peace Frog", "Break On Through (To the Other Side)", "People Are Strange", "Soul Kitchen", "Love Me Two Times", "The End" along with many others.
Peace Frog is great and not well known.
I'll never hear this song again without seeing the crew of Charlie Brown dancing to it. LOL love it!
I know right... I've been a Doors fan for decades and never made that correlation. lol Right there with ya, because now I hear it.
🤣🤣🤣
One of my favourite bands of all time.. LOVE THE DOORS..❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lots of catchy doors songs .... Light my fire, break on through, touch me ....etc
'Riders on the storm' and 'this is the end'... orchestral masterpieces
the piano in this song, at times, always sort of reminds me of like a 'ragtime' sound which is cool..... a little 'old west saloon-ish'...... very cool indeed
Great reaction. The song is actually about the city of LA. That’s his woman 🤟🤟🤟
One of the great "Classic Rock" era Bands of the 1960s.
Don’t forget, The Doors movie Starting Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan, shows the L.A. band starting their musical HITS from the Beach.
He’s talking about his wife in part. Hair on fire (she was a redhead), if they say I never loved you you know they are a liar. Jim can be hard to decipher cause he jumps back n forth, lyrically, between reality and metaphors(imo)
What wife? He wasn’t married.
Robbie Kreiger guitar Master Class , Ray Manzarek playing great keyboards and Jim Morrison at the height of his powers "L.A Woman" indeed
When the Music's over is my favorite Doors song!
When I was a kid, before I knew what Jim Morrison looked like, and I'd hear The Doors on the radio, I always pictured him looking kinda like Bluto from the Popeye cartoons! A big, husky biker-looking guy. That VOICE! Then I saw a picture of him later on and couldn't believe that was who I was hearing on the radio! The man had a sound WAY beyond his years.
Yeah! I thought he was a mature crooner! 😁
Your chemistry is great. You get each other. Even when you disagree, you can laugh it off and still seem sweet on each other❤️.
I love the Doors, I used to blast this out of 65 Chevelle conv. driving all over LA as a teenager. Hollywood. Venice, Malibu, Westwood etc. (my hangout town) and once in a while the Valley!!!I😂
SFV Native here for 30 years. . Lived in the valley, Hollywood hills , Palmdale, and a couple of years in Ventura. Left in 94.
Check out the song Peace Frog by the Doors. Total Banger!
Mr Mojo Risin = Jim Morrison
Tbe song is about Los Angeles itself. Lots of evocative imagery.
The doors had a very unique sound and Jim Morrison was an actual poet
You would enjoy watching the movie - Val Kilmer does a great job. I used to work on Robbi's ski's in the SFV. So much fame around LA and Hollyweird. Jim has a seat at Barney's Beanery in Weho. Same bar Janis was at an hour before her passing!
Asia and BJ guys you're amazing :) another such a cool reaction of the main song from final album by The Doors back in 1971 , such a cool and golden music hit , after 51 years this epic song still are one of my favorites , very glad that this album was finished and came out to the music world forever , still after those 51 years full of silence every fan of The Doors around the world together with you Asia and BJ , remember Ray and Jim , two wonderful band souls for life. Short music career of them , but they left huge musical print in everyone hearts. Thank you so much Asia and BJ once again for this epic reaction :)
6:44 The music for all those "Peanuts," TV shows was jazz, so that is actually a good comparison.
The song is actually called L.A. WOMAN, not L.A. Women. And it's a metaphor about him loving L.A. the city and not about women at all.
I love the Doors because they were SO original... They encompassed jazz, blues, hard rock and the avant-garde... They were Jack Daniels and LSD... They were the celebration of California and the condemnation of what it represented.
Forrest Gump the movie played a lot of bangers including The Doors, Break on through, which is my favourite. Also, "The End" is heard in Apocalypse Now.
To me this is The Doors at their absolute best. Lyrically, musically, they just completely nailed it here. My favorite Doors song.
Jimbo the masterclass rockstar, frontman and poet! my favorite tune from The Doors for sure
Not to Touch the Earth is a deep cut that you need to hear!!!! Its the one song I would play to encapsulate them as a band
This is my favorite Doors song. It has so many changes. The keyboard always reminds me of Charlie Brown too! 😂
Just started watching ur channel guys i like it. I love the fact u guys are experiencing the music of the 60s 70s and early 80s this was arguably the greatest time in music 🎶 as u are experiencing, my teen years. It was a glorious time. Music was music, the bands were the greatest. Keep riding the high. ENJOY
The Doors have always been one of my most favorite bands. I would have loved to see them live, good or bad performance. This was their most bluesy albums. Love your reaction!
4:10 - 4:31 is one of my favorite breaks in the history of music. :)
Summer's Almost Gone. Touch Me. L'America. Soft Parade. Waiting For The Sun. Strange Days....very deep rabbit hole with this band.
Love 60s rock. Try Grand Funk Rairoad “ Inside Looking Out” make sure it’s the live 1969 version. It’ll blow your minds!
Yes, they got their big start at the Whiskey A Go Go in L.A. I saw the great Led Zep and The Doobies out there in 1975 at Long beach but regret not being out there earlier to dig on a live Doors concert . Then it was back to Indiana in a mint 1962 Chrysler Imperial I got for 250 dollars from a guy whose wife needed diapers for the baby. Dig that people. I was blessed that year. (The old lady and I hitchhiked out to Calif .from Indiana with 50 dollars and got jobs. ) Peace. : )
Jim was 🔥🔥🔥 and if you listen it sounds like the music is responding to him when he sings. One of a kind.
Great song .. roadhouse blues… light my fire .. so many more
Love this song! This is a great tune to have playing in your car when you're out on the highway. Love your reaction...great job!!
I've heard this song ten thousand times in my life, I never knew half of what he was singing until I just watched your video with the lyrics on it! 🤣 / I understand the Charlie Brown connection! I hear what you're talking about! With the keyboard stuff, I totally hear it. And that feeling of "moving", it makes it a great driving song! Always love hearing this song when I'm actually driving on a freeway! / LOVED this reaction! I'm subscribing!
the lead singer jim morrison died at the age of 27 in 1971 due to an overdose. it’s a very sad story, he actually died in the bathroom of a club in paris france, he was so young, and went just in the worst way.
ROADHOUSE BLUES is my all time fave DOORS,,,,,STUDIO VERSION !!! THANKS
You two should check out Joni Mitchell “California” 1970 BBC in Concert.
It’s quite the performance!
While listening i recall that this was a totally new musical sound back then. There were a lot of bands introducing new sounds.
The Sunset Strip and Laurel Canyon were where it was at in the late 60’s. I saw so many great artists there and all over LA. ( including the Doors)
My fav song of the doors!! I blast this song EVERYTIME I ride thru LA:)
The Doors were based in L.A. although Jim Morrison was from Florida and Ray Manzarek Chicago. They met while attending film school in L.A.
I was in love w Jim Morrison, even though he died right after I was born. I was obsessed with the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix..when my piers were listening to Poison. 🤢. I just kept going back. Listening to Billy Holiday when Nirvana was the rage. There are so many wonderful genre's of music.
I used to think the Doors were like Charlie Brown too when I was a kid jaja. The jazzy piano feel. Asia is right!
Asia talked about the keyboard being reminiscent of Charlie Brown...like the feeling of movement...I'd never thought of that....but she is right! I see that now! Great observation!
This song, and soft parade are my favorite door songs
there are so many great songs from the doors - riders on the storm, roadhouse blues, break on through (to the other side), five to one, backdoor man to name just a few
Bj might recognize five to one because Jay z used it in a famous diss album
The fire is in the hills in the mountains, forest fires by California
Check out the doors cover of GLORIA dirty version
You need to go down this rabbit hole
The wasp
The changeling
Roadhouse Blues
Hyacinth House
Maggie McGill
Land Ho
Waiting for the sun
Strange Days
Gloria dirty version
Build me a woman
Who scared you
Crystal ship
You're a lost little girl
So many more just a few of my favorites
What a band, what musicians, what a singer !!!!! Love you the Doors ... Thank you Jim
Check out The Doors "Roadhouse Blues" it's one of their greats.
Welcome aboard,youngsters! This is one of my favorite songs, by the Doors. The Doors, have many songs , that were big hits, in the 60's and 70's.
Love The Doors. Hard blues rock.
"Break On Through", "When The Music's Over", "Riders On The Storm"(another different vibe from this album), lot of great songs to discover for you.
Poets of the Fall - Where Do We Draw the Line. It is my personal favorite song out of all their albums. Smooth, somber, beautiful vocals and deep lyrics❤
The Fact that out of the thousand of band THE DOORS IS #1 for me i freaking love them! him writing L.A Women and Myself being from L.A makes it 100x better its a Dedication to Los Angeles
A CLASSIC 🙏 RIP to a troubled but AMAZING soul ..watch his live performances & the movie bout his life yo..crazy as hell ....RIP to my baby 🧡
Roadhouse Blues is a must
The Door played at my high school in 1967 or8 played all over L A in the 60. After hours at the Pladium Whiskey those were the days my friends.
Trivia- The Doors do not use a Bass Player! Ray on the keyboards does it all. He has to be one of the best keyboard players EVER
Actually, on this song (and indeed the entire L.A. Woman album) Jerry Scheff (Elvis Presley's bass player at the time) was brought in to play bass.
Only live, man. They had the hell of session men bass players on their albums
Jim's voice seemed to get deeper and more bluesy by the time of this, their final album before Jim's death. He had put on a little weight and drank a fair few beers by then, plus with his beard, looked and sounded the proper blues man!
Hard living makes a hard man, I guess.
Nothing wrong with being a large mammal
yet in riders he had that earlier tone in his voice in some of the stanza, then went back to this tone in the chorus.
One of my favorite bands of all time , I found them through their movie starring val kilmer
Hi. Brit here. So glad you love this. It's brilliant. Cool. Intelligent and early stuff.
Whisky a Go Go vibes. Wish I'd been old enough to go there when the doors were playing... and in the right country 😁 Didn't get into them until the 80s. Jim Morrison was the bad boy of the LA rock scene.
"Love her madly"
"Break on through" is my favourite with the bosanova beat at the beginning
The Doors! Heavy old blues rock band with some jazzy Charlie Brown pianos. Ha!
According to Densmore, after the band finished the song, Morrison wrote down 'Mr. Mojo Risin" on a paper and "takes the letters and starts making arrows and writing the letters all twisted around, and it spells 'Jim Morrison'."
Nobody will give Jim an award for the "prettiness" of his singing here but the point was made by Bruce Botnick the engineer and co-producer of the album: Jim liked the old bluesman like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. He was about raw expression like the old blues tunes they were channeling on this album. This one hits you in the gut and never lets you go...the raw emotions are deep.
The mix of this sing is actually a performance. They played it all in one take. Morrison was drunk off his ass. That's why it sounds rough in some spots but definitely a great tune.
Asia, when you said that it reminds you of like Charlie Brown music, that blew my mind because once I listen to it, the music has such a high resemblance to the peanuts cartoons music, high energy and non-stop, and I've listened to this song literally hundreds of times and never realized that until now
Spent a lot of time in LA?! They are FROM LA! It's Jim's loveletter to where The Doors were born!!
Funny & interesting factoid, the line Mr. Mojo Risin' is an anagram for Jim Morrison! Great tune!
Fun Fact- Jerry Scheff the Bass player was the Bass player for Elvis, when Jim found out he freaked out, as he was a huge Elvis fan and was like a fan boy with the stories he was telling while they were in between breaks when they were recording the song..
The doors are sooooo gooood, so nostalgic
The way they play, tight. VERY tight. Tightest band EVER ! so clean.
I have driven into LA hundreds of times and this is my go to song. Never mind the words, its the energy of the song and it is just the same as the energy of LA. One of the Doors finest!
Got my Mojo Risin!! Love it
Mr Mojo Risin is an anagram for Jim Morrison, pretty cool uh!
Great music!! Love this band. Charlie Brown had that Jazzy piano and it does sound similar.
It's completely refreshing to revisit you two.. revisit ing some of the Greatest recordings, in history. !!
The genius of the song to me is it’s totally LA IMO, perfect for driving the hills in a fast car. But there’s this swampy, backwoods juke joint feel to it, like you could hear the place rocking from across the water and if you didn’t mind wet boots you could experience it up close. There’s an aggressive mysticism in his voice, if that makes sense. Puts you on edge a little.
