Does it ring true about the "missing bass" as well? From what I've read a pretty proficient studio session bass player lady played the bass for The Doors (at least for the debut album?) but she wasn't credited in the liner notes.
@@ZombieDragQueen I knew that Carol Kaye (presumably, that's who you were talking about) was on the first Zappa album and Pet Sounds, but I didn't know she was on the first Doors album. I thought Ray Manzanerak or however you spell his name did it on piano.

Yeah dude, I've had the Very Best of The Doors album for 30 years. Listened to it ONCE! Never again. Really I just have it for one song. The Apocalypse Now version of The End.
@Alexander Tijerina (student) - Actually, on "Waiting For The Sun" they had a session players for every song apart from My Wild Love which has NO bass at all. "Douglas Lubahn - bass guitar on tracks 1-5, 7, 9, 10, 11, Kerry Magness - bass guitar on track 6, Leroy Vinnegar - acoustic bass on track 7" (Wikipedia)
@@warmswarm Yup... the first two albums used keyboard bass, and then the last four (well, six) all employed a bass player or two... however, those bass players weren't considered members of The Doors. There's only ever been four.... maybe what The Doors' fan character said in this sketch is true... Edit: Woah! I never knew... 'The first two albums used keyboard bass... but also a bass player called Mr. Doug Lubahn' would have been more correct. Well... he only plays bass on two tracks on the debut, but still...
Actually he doors did have bass. They had multiple bass players. All the members of the doors played bass on every song, in every album. It all got distorted and changed in the studio when recording. If you’ve ever seen them live you know it’s just a whole bunch of dudes strumming bass, and Jim Morrison making bass sounds with his mouth.
Not just a rumor either: after Jim's death, IGGY actually did front the band for a few shows, and they recorded some stuff together, around 1974, and there was talks about him joining up, but the band decided to just continue as a trio sans Jim, after Iggy Pop declined their offer. Ray Manzarek offered Iggy the job, because he had heard that Iggy Pop could cause a riot too, very controversial singer. I have heard two versions of the story's end: one has Iggy saying he didn't want to channel a dead rock star, and another saying he agrred to replace Jim but got freaked out on a heroin binge and took off. Google the story.
The gatekeeping continues to this day. Heaven forbid you be a young person and wear a Nirvana shirt...people think it's their right to ask you to start naming Nirvana songs off the top of your head.
@@blueabattoiroverexposed, yes. Overrated, no. They filled a much needed vacancy in their time, with undeniably powerful raw music that was still somehow accessible. Comparing them to AC/DC is nonsense.

02:57 I love how there are Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet records in the store. Gotta support the guys who do the theme song and link music for the KITH!
Kids today don't understand. It used to be that if you wanted to get new music, especially anything that was maybe a little bit out of the mainstream, you had to go to a record store and deal with a pretentious clerk who would sneer at your selection because he (almost always a he) knew sooooooo much more about music than you because he worked at a RECORD STORE. I still like buying physical music and supporting record stores, but that part always sucked.
+plushsnail I'm 32 and record stores were still just slightly before my time. I bought my first CDs through a mail order company in the early 90's, they were huge at the time but I can't remember the name anymore. And today of course, I don't even bother with physical medium like CD's, all of my music is in digital format on my hard drive. I'm not sure if I have ever bought music at a record store to be honest. Maybe just slightly too young
I'm so glad we grew up in a time where this was what we looked forward to on an HBO weekend night. These guys each have such a distinct personality. Like the Beatles of Canadian sketch comedy and the Frantics are like The Stones 😆 Bruce and Kevin's characters were always funny as hell 😆
I've now been laughing at this skit for half of my life. That's crazy! I was fortunate enough to see them perform live last year. They're really a treasure for everyone who gets 'em. Someone blessed all of us the day he had these fellas cross paths.
Watching this show changed my sense of humor so much. I never realized that. Their quirkiness and their oddness and some other bits even are part of my personal humor pallet
"Was that a Frampton reference in my store?" Great line. One of my favorite sketches. And as I say: Whatever happens to Peter Frampton...... that's what he gets for being Peter Frampton.

joe blow “I’m not into the Beatles, bro. Too mainstream. They were way better when they were the Quarrymen back in the 50’s. So much more raw talent then, bro.”
When they played live Manzarek played the bass on his keyboard. Just a kids in the hall fan making excuses for a sketch that had "Jum fuckin Morrison that's who" in it.
The Baroness Von Sketch show on CBC is kinda a feminist version of KITH. Some of the sketches are brilliant, some are a little too on the nose with their hammer.
@DH - AND THAT IS? What does the statement - "You may need to get out more" mean, with regards to my comment? What the hell does that have to do with this sketch, this tv show, or my opinion that "Jim fuckin' Morrison told me" was the greatest line uttered in the shows 5 season long run?
It's a great skit IMO because it really gets into gatekeeping from both the gatekeeper and the newb's perspectives and sums up what would probably be a year's worth of human experience in under 4 minutes.
The funny part is that, session bass players were used on every single The Doors album and several different bass players were brought in to perform on the vast majority of the tracks in The Doors catalogue. In fact, at least 8 different bass players were used on The Doors studio albums. Two of them were even asked to join the band. Doug Luban turned down the job because his band was also being produced by The Doors' Producer, Paul Rothchild and he considered it unethical for Paul to even ask him. After Doug learned that the entire band had actually decided to add him to their line up, he still said no and stood by his band. A few years later, bassist, Jerry Scheff was asked to join the band, but Jim Morrison died, before Scheff could become an official member of The Doors.
Kids in the Hall for ever! ❤️ So original and never duplicated! You’ll never find a better troupe of comedians that mesh so well and have a pure love and respect for one another ❤️
A testament to my favorite comedy troupe of all time, is the fact of the name two of my favorite bands of all time in the opening sentence of this sketch. Classic
About thirty years ago, I watched this sketch and Bruce taught me that I was a Doors fan. To this day, I can't listen to Love Her Madly... I also pronounce Depeche Mode with a mock quebecois affectation. Thanks a bunch, Kev.
“Nobody’s into Depeche Mode, even Depeche Mode isn’t into Depeche Mode.” Also the line about love her madly being the only song you won’t like is like what my dad told me about blind melon and no rain.
and I happen to like both songs. What does that make me? lol And just for the record (pun intended) I own four Doors LPs, and a couple of documentary videos as well.
"I want you to steal a car..." "I have a car." "STEAL A CAR." "Steal a car..." All of my first meetings with badass friend and bad influences went roughly this way...
I love this This is probably my favorite sketch of all time because I am a doors fan.. I was just born that way.. yeah Kevin looks absolutely handsome here
Ok Crow Depeche sucks? Your'e wrong in my opinion but that's just me. Man up bro. Who do you like? And it better be good, and don't give me Zeppelin or Floyd those are easy safe answers. I'm waiting....
Ha! Hell yeah! My bil gave me a stack of LP's for my 13th birthday back in the early 70's. Waiting For The Sun was one of them and the one I listened to the most.
I love this because I identify with the intensity of the love for the Doors and great bands that were so powerful culturally. Bands like The Doors, Led Zeppelin and the Jimi Hendrix Experience literally set me free and gave me the courage to be myself. I feel no shame whatsoever in saying that these people are my heros and of course some of them paid the ultimate price in pursuit of their art
There was at least three different session musicians playing bass on Waiting For The Sun. All Doors albums had bass, but they weren’t members of the group and Ray only did the bass parts on keyboards live.
If anyone cares, that almost looks like a US Navy peacoat but its kinda thin and flimsy. The patch is a rating badge (MOS) and its for a third class gunners mate.
I once stopped in a record store in southern Missouri and the employee reminded me of this guy . I found an Alan Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination album . The clerk was greatly impressed with my taste in music . LOL
I like Kevin's outfit. He looks like a real Depeche Mode fan.
He looks great in black.
New Wave
All I can is, it’s so.. deliberate.
Technically, Violator was released by DM in 1989 and it was their biggest commercial success.
What’s his last name? He sounds like 40 different cartoon characters
Bruce's portrayal is 100% accurate to every hardcore Doors fan I've ever known.

That's why Jefferson Airplane did a worst of album

Too bad it's not true. They did have bass, Ray the organ player played bass keyboard and organ/piano at the same time.
I love that they touched on the actual rumor at the time about Iggy touring w/ the remaining Doors.
I almost hit the ceiling ! I always thought it was something us local nuts said to be funny ... I was a Stooges fan ...Not so much the doors

Awesome I miss this show so much.
"I want you to steal a car..."
"I have a car."
"STEAL A CAR."
"Steal a car..."
All of my first meetings with badass friend and bad influences went roughly this way...
I somehow missed this part when I first watched this.
Lmfaoo same
I miss these guys. great show
the doors have so many amazing songs that you won't find on their best-of compilations. go through each album :P
❤️ this skit! I remember seeing this when originally aired on CBC🇨🇦 I'm from Winnipeg ( 1979). McDonald tries not to laugh twice. Lol
one of the best skits ever done ever
8 - tracks never end man! they go on and on till you die or the tape gets eaten.
I had to pause this at 0:39 and had Grace Jones staring at me while I talked on the phone.
I love this This is probably my favorite sketch of all time because I am a doors fan.. I was just born that way.. yeah Kevin looks absolutely handsome here
This sketch changed my life.
Doors, Depeche Mode & Kids in the hall Rule!
Luis O Also, Pixies!
Luis O YES
And Iggie Pop. (But not as the front man of the doors.😅)
Ok Crow Depeche sucks? Your'e wrong in my opinion but that's just me. Man up bro. Who do you like? And it better be good, and don't give me Zeppelin or Floyd those are easy safe answers. I'm waiting....
Kein Mehrheit Fur Die Mitleid, translation = No pity for the Majority. NOT Killing mother fucking Depeche Mode.
He's never going to have that fight, it's an 8-track.
One of my all time favorite skits
One of the best TKITH sketches
a DOORS fan
A young Jordan Peterson trying to study bloody Dionysian chaos
This doesn't get enough recognition.
Hardly see them break during a skit but Bruce does several times during this one. Hilarious stuff! 😂
Ha! Hell yeah! My bil gave me a stack of LP's for my 13th birthday back in the early 70's. Waiting For The Sun was one of them and the one I listened to the most.
I've been into the Doors, and out of the doors. That's the way doors work fools.
I wonder if Bruce ever went to the old, original Taz Records in Halifax...
I love this because I identify with the intensity of the love for the Doors and great bands that were so powerful culturally. Bands like The Doors, Led Zeppelin and the Jimi Hendrix Experience literally set me free and gave me the courage to be myself. I feel no shame whatsoever in saying that these people are my heros and of course some of them paid the ultimate price in pursuit of their art
I met Jim Morrison when he played in Boston when I was a teenager. I will always love him. And this video is funny but it is also TRUE!
There was at least three different session musicians playing bass on Waiting For The Sun. All Doors albums had bass, but they weren’t members of the group and Ray only did the bass parts on keyboards live.
If anyone cares, that almost looks like a US Navy peacoat but its kinda thin and flimsy. The patch is a rating badge (MOS) and its for a third class gunners mate.
Kevin McDonald played Pastor Dave on That 70's Show.
needles1987 He also voices a lot of characters like Agent Pleakley in Lilo and Stitch and Tallest Purple in Invader Zim
He was also Denim Jean Jacket on the Seinfeld
I once stopped in a record store in southern Missouri and the employee reminded me of this guy . I found an Alan Parsons Tales of Mystery and Imagination album . The clerk was greatly impressed with my taste in music . LOL
Two of my favorite bands, represented by the incomparable "Kids In the Hall." I need to take a moment....;-)
