"I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer. The future's uncertain and the end is always near." Great lyrics!
_LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG AND LEAVE A BLOATED CORPSE!_
Jim Morrison used a line from a conversation with Alice Cooper in the classic Doors track ‘Roadhouse Blues'.
“We were sitting there drinking and Jim comes in and he flops down,” says Cooper on his breakfast show on Planet Rock radio.
“I said that I had got up this morning and got myself a beer and while we’re talking he just writes that down. So they go in and they’re doing the song and the next thing I hear is ‘Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer’ and I went ‘I just said that a second ago!’”
@@Xcris_crosXyes, I heard that too
He did have a morbid fascination with DEATH...or the ENDING.
@@elisaabolafia9542 Sure seemed like it.
"The Blues had a baby and they called it Rock & Roll"...Muddy Waters ❤
Rock is an infusion of blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, gospel...it is all melded together. Some forms, bands lean into different influences and sounds.
That’s not old school rap, it’s scat.
Ya beat me to it! . . . . .
I’d also add to all those genres swing music from the 40’s big band era can be seen as one of many influences in 50’s and beyond rock and roll as well. Bill Haley and the Comets Rock Around the Clock being a prime example. Also a lot of progressive rock like Genesis and Yes and ELP etc evolved from classical music as well.
That's a great line.
The doors don't get enough rotation nowadays. Such a great band!
They have a pretty deep catalog and it’s excellent.
John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful) plays harmonica. He's uncredited due to label conflicts. Sebastian's biggest solo hit was the theme song to "Welcome Back Kotter."
Wow. That’s one of my favorite TV show theme songs
Love John. Darling Be Home Soon. Love his gig at Woodstock!
More hits by John Sebastian: Do you believe in magic; Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind; co-wrote Summer in the city.
John Sebastian on HARMONICA ❓Thanks for that fun fact 🎵😊
The Lovin’ Spoonful….💜
for those us around 60 or 70 these guys were as big a part of our musical youth as anyone ! didn't matter the genre you were into
Amen!!!!
agree, they made the great times even better!
Got that right! The music fabric of our young lives was very rich and diverse. We were very blessed. 🎶✨️
Their cover of Back Door Man written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Howlin’ Wolf is a natural progression from this one. Even more bluesy. Morrison’s vocals are among his best on this one.
This is blues all day
Those keys are signature doors.
YES!!!! Been waiting for you to dive into some Doors. LOL. Not literally, of course. Great album in it's entirety! Also do the L.A. Woman album....CLASSIC DOORS!!!! Morrison and Company are in a class by themselves. Something for EVERYBODY on both those albums.
My favorite Doors song ❤
The Doors had their radio rock (Rider on the Storm), their psychedelic (The End), and their Blues Rock (Roadhouse Blues). Glad ya'll explore them all or otherwise one put them into one category only.
Yep they were the closest thing to the American Rolling Stones
“You Ready?,” “Yup.” That’s The beginning of a great reaction video ! Really enjoy seeing and listening to you guys, thanks !
Very cool. The Doors were interesting -- they didn't really sound like anyone else and there was no denying Jim Morrison's power and charisma as a front man. This one was just a very solid take on the blues.
Excellent!!! I love the Doors!!!! This is Old school Blues!!!! Trust me I was there in the midst of the Blues.....If you really know the Blues This was The Blues!!!
The Doors have plenty of blues songs, jazzy stuff too, and of course straight rock.
I can’t believe no one has told you to listen to The End ! Quintessential Doors!
Peace and love. I was 11 when I first heard This is the End.
"Who is the lead singer on this?" My jaw TOTALLY hit the floor.
The legend himself Jim Morrison
Son los mejores 👍
I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer.
Great lines like that or like this from "back door man".
You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
Ah keep your eyes on the road,
Your hands upon the wheel.
Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel.
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse,
Gonna have a real good-time.
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse,
They've got some bungalows.
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse,
They've got some bungalows.
They dance for the people
Who like to go down slow.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, all night long.
Do it, Robby, do it!
You gotta roll, roll, roll,
You gotta thrill my soul, alright.
Roll, roll, roll, roll-a
Thrill my soul.
Ashen-Lady.
Ashen-Lady.
Give up your vows.
Give up your vows.
Save our city.
Save our city.
Ah, right now.
Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer.
Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer.
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, baby, roll.
Let it roll, all night long.
Jim was a chameleon. He was a changeling. He was a medicine man. You will understand when you listen to more of the Doors 🚪....
The lizard king! RIP !
Perfect description ❤
Indeed 👍
In my opinion, he was crazy.
@@324cmac He was crazy...the great ones always are
Well this is tasty for brekky! Can we have some Break On Through for Lunch? Love the channel guys, it’s a constant trip down memory lane. Long live Mr. Mojo Risin!
Beer for brekky! It’s in the song! 😂
To me it sounds instantly like the Doors and unmistakably Jim Morrison singing.
The future is uncertain and the end is always near such a great line in that song and very true
This song is pure blues start to finish. I'm from Chicago, I know the blues. 😆
Jim was a chameleon in his vocals, try listening to "Touch Me" or "The Soft Parade (both from the Soft Parade album) for another Doors different sound, that was an instance hit, definitely more mainstream vocals and music, especially the strings ending with the "Mr Clean" knod with the strings and Sax at the end (stronger than dirt). They didn't stay in one place for each song, which gave them staying power on the charts, most of the great bands of the late 60s/70s didn't want to be pigeon-holed.
“PeaceFrog”, from the Doors, is a must
Roadhouse BLUES _rock._ I wouldn't call that old school 1950s Rock n Roll piano but rather more like 30s-40s Honky Tonk Blues piano. You guys have mentioned that you've watched movies pertaining to artists. Have you considered reacting to those kind of moves that portray musicians and singers? I would love to see you guys react to movies like La Bamba about Ritchie Valens, Walk the Line about Johnny Cash, etc.
Glad I’m not the only African American that loves this song 😂😂😂😂 lol
ALL Rock and Roll is derived from the Blues it's just some songs be bluesier than others. This one is literally called ROADHOUSE BLUES!
Best American band, period. Lots of other great American bands, but The Doors did it their way, much different in sound and attitude than the others. There is a real American "punch in the face" to their music, reminiscent to what the Stones and Who tried to create in the UK. But there is also a wholly unique American mysticism to The Doors. Psychedelic might describe early-Pink Floyd or early-Jefferson Airplane, another great American band, who by the way were very close to The Doors. But The Doors possess a certain mystic that I don't think can be classified as psychedelic. Every member of the band was a top-notch musician. They didn't get credit, even during their time, for being great musicians and I think if you compare them to Cream or Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, they weren't musicians in the same sense. Instead, like Jimmy Page in Zeppelin, the entire band - every member of The Doors - had a mystic about them. A mystic that allowed them to sit in the pocket of the music, never giving too much or overdoing it. In that sense, they were a combination of Ringo Starr and Jimmy Page. *What I've described is how Ringo's presence and playing was described by (I think) Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. He said that Ringo didn't have to be loud or wild, say like Keith Moon. Ringo's playing was always deep at the center of the music. And, of course, Page was described as a magician, he was called The Wizard (not be to confused with Sabbath's The Wizard.* Anyhow, The Doors: greatest American band, by far.
That’s John Sebastian from the Lovin Spoonful on harmonica! I woke up this morning and got myself a beer because the future is uncertain and the end is always near.
Cool! Didn't know that! I believe the great history podcast guy Dan Carlin also adopted it as the title of his VERY interesting book ("The End is Always Near: Apocalyptic Moments From the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses") on the ways our fumbling, miraculous species could do ourselves in...
The Doors is still one of my all time favs to this day. I’ve never gotten tired of them. This is a great rocking blues song!
Well, if you didn't think this was "The Doors" then the song I'm about to suggest will really have you scratching your head check this one out "The Doors - People Are Strange -1967 HD (Official Video) 1080p Jim Morrison)" (by the channel: Jim Morrison) remember the words "Bewildered with a damn good beat" 🤯🧩🤔 hehe
The Blues are among the many roots of Rock.
The taproot, so to speak. 😄@dr.leslieorgelpfeifersyndr5143
Imagine a time when you could turn on the radio and hear stuff like this….for free….you guys remind me how lucky I was….☮️❤️
Weren't we though???
I don't need to imagine...😎👍
Gentlemen…. Listening to this now makes me so proud. I’mBlack and from Los Angeles, 71 years old and grew up with the Doors. This was some of my starter music while in the Army on my way to Vietnam! Glad you’re taking the ride. Jim Morrison can be a real trip! Enjoy. Jim Morrison and the Door! He was a bad ass!,
We appreciate you. Thanks for rocking with us!!
Great group, Soul Kitchen and Backdoor Man gotta listen to these two songs from them 👏👏
Your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets...
I saw Doors in 1968 in Philadelphia. Jerry had said that the leather if you wore it had a price you would pay and a poor fashion statement. The Stones were wearing it at Altamonte. The Hell angles wore it.
The Doors have a pretty good discography considering the relatively brief time they were together. They definitely utilized the psychedelic sounds of their time as well as blues, rock, and also incorporated occasional strings/brass elements. Their general sound was a strong influence on early post punk/goth music later on in bands such as Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
A lot to dive into with the Doors. Great reaction fellas! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
An actual roadhouse inspired this song called The Topanga Corral, a windowless nightclub in Topanga Canyon, California, where Jim Morrison lived. The roadhouse venue was on a winding road, so you actually did have to keep your hands on the wheel. Bands like
Little Feat, Canned Head, Linda Ronstadt, and other L.A. groups were often in the crowned. It was a hot spot, so hot it burned down.
Love this old Doors song. Great review and commentary, guys. Keep on rockin'.
wows, great info. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for that narrative Clifton ❗Very interesting.
They have a diverse catalog and the only really genre to their music is they are the Doors and there is no other band like them. You have a long way to go with their great catalog, just enjoy the Journey! 🎵🎹🎤🎸🎶
They're my favorite American RnR band. Funny, just yesterday I listened to this CD
Boogie woogie piano …
And Jim Morrison could sing it all
Sweet - raunchy - soft - kickass loud.
Spectacular vocalist.
MORE DOORS please
I can’t think of a more biker bar sounding song 😂. Love this one; “ALL NIGHT LONG” 🔥
I think that style of piano playing is called “Honky Tonk”.
The Doors engineer Bruce Botnick made very clean powerful recordings . And this was a blue/rockin tune.
Buena música
Doors for breakfast Delicious, I appreciate it good stuff. Try riders on the storm. That's my favorite door song, you guys probably heard it before. Anyway, thanks fellas, God bless you.
You guys should really check out Weird Al's 'Craigslist', a takeoff on Morrison/Doors with Doors' keyboardist Ray Manzarek!
The best band Los Angeles ever knew
That is blues. Rock n roll is a mixture of blues,rhythm n blues, country and jazz. The doors were closer to blues and jazz of the rock spectrum.
Love Jim and the Doors so much! ❤ This one makes me a little sad because by the time they recorded this album, Jim had abused his body so badly with drugs and even moreso ALCOHOL, he looked and sounded much older than his 20s. You could tell he was drunk in this song too. But he was high or drunk through most of his performances. Alcohol is what got him in the end from what I understand. It was brutal. You may want to google 'The Story Behind Roadhouse Blues'. It explains Jim's alcoholism while recording this album.
I didn't listen to anything but the Doors for a few years after I discovered them. I can always tell when Jim's drunk on a song. Alot of his songs I bet he doesn't even remember being in the studio for 😅
Yup. I saw him perform in ‘69 or ‘68. He was totally blasted. Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. Lots of Hell’s Angels were walking around swinging chains. The end of an era. Why I skipped Altamont!
Hey Love street 👋Have you watched the OLIVER STONE movie " The Doors"❓Great performances by Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan. I own it and watch it a lot. Told his story in it's most honest and sad way.
@@elisaabolafia9542I did see that! I thought it was pretty well done, too! Val Kilmer kilt it!! Lol ❤
I would like to hear your reaction to When the Music's Over.
It sounds like Chicago style blues, that's more upbeat. I was in Jr high-school when this album came out. We were groovin'
Ray Manzarek is from the Southside of Chicago. My father-in-law went to HS with him at St Rita.
Check out their song “L.A. Woman” next to hear Morrison stretch out his range.
There’s lots of other songs where Morrison and the band really let loose, too.
The blues was a big influence on The Doors and their sound.
On their first album, they did a cover of a blues standard - the legendary Willie Dixon’s “Back Door Man”.
The blues had a child and they named it rock and roll! You know, a big difference in music between then and now is that artists back then were experimenting with sound more than artists do today. Both from album to album and individual songs on each album. I don't see that with today's artists. There just aren't surprises. I respect Taylor Swift for how wildly popular she is with her fans, she obviously connects with them. But she's also so predictable that people are already doing "Her song about breaking up with her football player friend" now. Any current pop artist has a sound and a formula that they stick to. No surprising their audiences. And I don't mean to pick on Taylor, she does write her own songs and performs them well. But everyone knows what to expect, we never did back then.
bravo!!!!! well sad, the best thing about the 60s and 70s is that its endless...i find jems ive never heard all the time..
Yes! Each band was a universe unto itself. Exploration was key.
Great reaction as always. My Mom gave me a 12 page list front & back of all the concerts she has been to in her life. She was a gypsy flowerchild all her life, for real! I texted her & asked about The Doors. Here's what she said: "One of the best shows was The Doors, and the police came to the show. They lined the stage & police chief waited in wings for "lyrics". It was a time of strict decency. Jim Morrison lyrics were so unusual to us kids. We had never been exposed to someone quite like him---And he was like 19 or 20 a college drop out. He had a girlfriend named Pam who he introduced during the show. A hippie type girl. Rich if I remember as her clothes were amazing."
Talk to your parents, folks! 💕
Very cool Mom. 🤟
@@blakebufford6239 thank you! My grandfather was also a Big Band Leader in the 50's. I grew up with him so that the music I listened to but when I saw Mom it was everything else. She has a spot on memory & always sends me a tid bit about the concert when I ask. She partied with everyone from Paul McCartney to Prince. Here's a fun one - Janice Joplin:
"Yep you sure would have had fun. But a lot of them weren't famous till much later. They just showed up at each others shows for the exposure, and so they could play
I do remember Janis really well because I had recently been to the circus and she reminded me of the roadies
She had on a like tapestry type tunic over a shirt with fringe. It was heavy & hot and she had a hat to start with. Her hair was oily and wild and her voice was like she had screamed all night and then wanted to sing. She was unusual & very talented."
Thanks for your comment 😊
@@jennhurl thank you for the great info. I live in Monterey area and almost everyday I drive past the Monterey Fairgrounds where they had the first Pop Festival in 1968 and Janis Joplin amongst others was there. Wish I could have been there but was too young at the time. Thanks again for the fun story! ✌️
Great song. I do prefer the original album mix over this new mix. It seems like they found some bits of vocals and harmonica, which had been tastefully mixed out back in the day, and they added them to the fore like some long lost treasures, and now they're stepping on some of the instrumental sections and diminishing their impact. Other than that, this mix isn't too different. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
First, Roadhouse Blues was classic blues with a honky tonk piano. Sometimes your bro thinks everything is either country or rock, while there are many strains in between.
Hey guys you can't say that harmonica doesn't scream the blues... One of the Door's best songs.
It's always Jim..
Always.
“The future’s uncertain and the end is always near…” (5:37 - 5:42)
Fewer TRUER words were ever spoken (or sung)).. 🔥
Great reaction Fellas!!!
💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Doors actually play a lot of blues songs on their albums.
Old school rock is the blues! Love this song
Woke up this morning and got myself a beer from hanging with a true rocker......Alice Cooper!
Jim was the OG big daddy rock star….before him the world had never seen anything like that….that wild,devil may care approach, but he was smart & fearless & utterly mesmerizing to watch
I would say rock started as basically the blues on steroids. Take the blues, through an electric guitar, sped up with a good groove and *poof* rock was born. However, it has since morphed from that to having many, many influences thanks to decades of experimental and progressive rock.
Morrison Hotel is their blues album.
I recommend. 👍
..and this version of the song you listened to is a newer re-did version somehow. It has little additions that the original doesn't.
This is blues at it's magstic best Jim's voice is a one off
Jim sung in tongue you guys might have missed it nuts that’s the trippy part real trippy part of this song
Their lyrics were the best…”cancel my subscription to the resurrection; send my credentials to the house of detention, I got some friends inside”. Thanks guys! 👍
Blues, blues, blues!! Done by a classic rock band, putting their flavor on it, like the Stones. Jim Morrison is in the yellow shirt. Love you guys!
LA Woman should be the next reaction
iconic song but this is some weird remastered version, someone messed with the levels!
Maggie McGill by the ❤❤Doors very bluesy
Please listen to Rolling Stones' Little Red Rooster 🖖
This is definitely not the original mix, there's added harmonica and vocals that I never heard before. One of the "facts" I've heard about this song is that Alice Cooper was the inspiration for the "woke up this morning, got myself a beer" line. I think Jim was one of the occasional members of Alice's Hollywood Vampires that hung out on Sunset back in the day, which included a Beatle and a Monkee:)
This is a different weird mix. At a certain point you can hear Jim's guide voice real low followed by Jim belting out the lyrics as we know it. Other minor changes, specially with the soundscope. But yeah, a great recording from the Doors.
Muy buen video
Love the Doors. They have a great catalog.
Morrison was the definition of Rockstar.
Reminds me of something you would hear in some swanky bar down in Louisiana
"Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning
And I got myself a beer"- Morrison, Kreiger, Manzarek, Densmore
Another great reaction. But you do have to understand that to a lot of people this sound right here is also quintessential Jim morrison. Check out their hit, don't you love her madly. It's got so much Nuance to it but it also really gets to romping. I bet you guys would love it.
👍
Jim Morrison got all the attention but it's the musicians in The Doors who are truly outstanding.
😊😊😊
Imagine me at 13, the normal stuff like Paul Revere & the Raiders, Mama & Papas etc, on the box and I hear the Doors….BLAM, BING..my head reels, and then comes Jimi Hendrix…off to the races baby! Out with the old and in with the new…..couldn’t get enough! Loved the reactions, both of them! You fellas are still the best!
Seems a remixed to me. Not the original
This isn't the album version which I still have. Greatest American rock band.
Jim had it all! Sad that he burned out so soon!
Easiest band to burn out on...
Nothing like waking up to The Doors on Saturday morning!! Like the old blues song says the eagle flys on Friday so I think I’m going out to play today!!
The future's uncertain
And the End
Is always near.
He got that right, alright...John Sebastian, a real folky, is blowing that blues harp....
You guys didn't even know Jim Morrison was singer of the Doors......Oh man......SMH
