The Doors were ahead of their time, and you might say, right on time to take the music scene by storm. Check out "Twentieth Century Fox" by the Doors. Super fun. The Doors can't go wrong!! 💯🔥🔥
Another forgotten gem from the first album is "Take It As It Comes." A forgotten gem from the Strange Days album is "My Eyes Have Seen You." Great music, really great lines! "My eyes have seen you. Let them photograph your soul, memorize your alleys on an endless role." It sounds good to even just speak it!
Out of the anti-war and civil rights anti government times. "The old get older and the young get stronger" "They've got the guns but we've got the numbers".
Ive always looked for The DOors reactions almost weekly, Im pretty positive their LA Woman video is blocked and ive never seen them do light my fire, ive always commented they should do light my fire but it never gets upvoted haha
Top five Doors song for me. Powerful and mystical at the same time. Two of my favorite lines of all time: "They got the guns but we got the numbers" and "Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes." Very anti-establishment. Thanks so much for doing this Mama and Papa! Edit: I made the comment before I heard the reaction. I can't believe Amber pointed out the same two lines as I mentioned. Very cool!
@@ClearlyBlissful I'd be remiss if I didn't mention he even played The Dark Knight in Batman Forever, and followed that up starring opposite Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in Heat.
"The Crystal Ship" will always be my favorite Doors song (which I keep hoping you'll do), but this one is right up there in a close second (along with a few others). Robby Krieger is one of the best guitarists who ever lived & this song shows why. And John Densmore is a beast on the drums.
Ah, Five To One. This was one of the songs that marked The Doors as a "dangerous" band to the squares. They were dark and strange, and Morrison loved to play with revolutionary language when he felt like it. But they were not the typical "power to the people" 60's band. Their energy was deeper and darker than that. They were foursquare for chaos, not about peace and flowers AT ALL, as you hear in this song. When Jim accuses the kids of "trading your hours for a handful of dimes", he was talking about the pandhandling that was prevalent among the youth in San Francisco, where he found himself at sea because yeah, not a hippie kinda guy. As to more Doors music, you MUST check out "Peace Frog". Great song, great energy. I've always thought it should be taken up as a rap, it has that staccato rhyming rhythm.
You're right!! The Doors came into being during the 60s, but they DEFINITELY WERE NOT a "60s" band, ya know. They were parallel to the 60s, but not really a part of it.
I really like the fact Jims voice developed with his age and weight, although sad Jim being troubled as a human..so much Blues and Soul coming out.. and I find the last Album , LA Woman, to be their best.. Hyacinth House, Riders on the Storm, Love her madly, Been down so long, LA Woman, Crawling King Snake... The entire Album is worth a listen as it is... And YES, you need to see the Movie - The Doors , by Oliver Stone.. Val Kilmer+Meg Ryan doing a pretty good job..!! :)
You can never go wrong with more Doors tunes! I remember when Cairo was protesting in the streets in the mid 2000s somebody on the streets there said they were blasting this song as they protested. Incredible tune.
‘No One Here Gets Out Alive’ is the marvelous biography of Jim and The Doors by Danny Sugerman. Obviously got that title from this song. The best thing I’ve read about The Doors. And I read it 40 years. ago. Sugerman began working with the Doors when he was 12 years old, by answering their fan mail. Following the death of Morrison he replaced original Doors' manager, Bill Siddons.
Excellent choice! I love the Doors. I have fond memories of listening to my brothers albums (and 8 tracks). If you're curious what The Doors sounded like without Jom Morrison, check out their appropriately titled "Other Voices" album.
This is one of the three albums they did with Doug Lubahn playing the bass in the studio. (Doug had a prog-rock group called Clear Light that he was trying to get going, and so turned down the group's offer to join. Ray Manzarek used the bass pedals on his organ for the live shows.) Fun fact: Doug was originally a ski instructor in Aspen and moved to California because one of his students told him that a lot of LA bands were looking for bass players. That student? Cass Elliot, pre-the Mamas and the Papas. I guess she was California Dreaming, herself. if you like Jim singing about the 1960s' darker side, check out "The Unknown Soldier" from this album and "Peace Frog" from two albums later. I don't know if either of those quite match this, but they are damn good. And while "The End" (which runs 11.35) and "When the Music's Over" (11.00) may run longer than you like for your songs to go (although you did allow Pink Floyd to go over 10 minutes), I should note that "The Soft Parade" is a mere 8.40, so if you want to finally take a taste of Jim's genius for the longer form, that's an option.
One small correction: for live gigs, Manzarek played the bass part with his left hand on a Fender Rhodes keyboard bass, as opposed to bass pedals which organ players like Felix Cavaliere of The Young Rascals used (mainly on a Hammond B3). So Ray only had one hand to play the organ chords and solo bits on his Vox organ, while his left hand played the bass line. This demonstrated what a keyboard genius he was, because sometimes his solos on songs like Light My Fire would get very crazy and intense, yet he managed to keep the same steady bass line going with his left hand, while his right hand went ballistic. The keyboard bass didn't record well on 60s recording technology, so that's why bass players were always hired for studio dates. Doug Lubahn was (to my ears) the bass player that fit really well with them, which is why they asked him to join the band - sadly, he said no because he thought his band Clear Light was going to make it big (they didn't).
OMG! I never knew that about the bassist. Clear Light's recording of the Tom Paxton song "Mr. Blue" has been one of my favorite psychedelic records since I first heard it in the early 70s! And it's interesting, because Clear Light recorded for Elektra, same as the Doors. Thank you for that information.
You guys are JUST NOW getting started into the "nitty gritty" of the epic Jim Morrison and the doors songs!! You've only been playing "the pop radio hits' they had, now you shall find out much more about the doors music. "Not to touch the earth", "The Soft parade" and "Texas big beat radio" should be the next songs you react to....
"Your ballroom days are over, baby." is one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite Doors songs. If you love this down and dirty Doors, there are plenty on their last 2 albums Morrison Hotel and LA Woman. Maggie McGill, Been Down So Long, Cars Hiss by My Window and Crawling King Snake just to name a few.
They have plenty of records with bass guitar tracks on them. Doug Lubhan played bass guitar on most of their records including this song. If you can't hear that bass guitar you might want to see an audiologist.
I have never heard this song before. But, I've been a Doors fan ever since their first hit 'Light My Fire'🔥 lit up radio in 1967. This song took me to a place deep in my rock n roll spirit I never felt before. TY for the visceral experience 😂 ❤ Rock On🎉
My parents got me this album for Christmas,I think this track frightened the hell l out of them,as a teenager it all made sense to me,Robbie's guitar still gives me chills!
The Doors don't have any bad tracks. Jim was rock's "Prince of Darkness" long before Ozzy. He truly had that dangerous, dark vibe about him, like a dark Elvis. For my money, the best rock frontman ever. At his best, he had everything. It's a shame we didn't have him at his best for more time, but maybe that just makes what we had all the more special.
Definitely one of my favorite Doors songs. But there's four that you really need to check out in my opinion. The End When The Music's Over Soft Parade Unknown Soldier
Love the Doors! Great song and the Jim''s vocals are killer. The era was definitely turbulent and many artists were high on psychedelics, which contributed greatly to using sounds and styles of music, lyrics being written and the whole feeling of a song. This is a mind trip and there is no doubt this comes from the trip to the other side.
You guys like THIS?? Wanna treat?… try The Doors “My Wild Love”.. THAT one trips me out! 😮😂 Also, along this same style of rock (in my opinion) is Jimi Hendrix’s “If 6 Was 9”..
I'll tell you a song you should do; The Doors being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, doing the Roadhouse Blues with Eddie Vedder sitting in for Jim Morrison.
After "The Doors Of Perception"... The Doors... Some great bass riffs in Love Me Two Times and Strange Days... Love Her Madly...Riders On The Storm...L.A. Woman...Light My Fire...so many more great songs...
Speaking of you guys not knowing Jim Morrison got down with that gritty type of sound. Jack Black, and others mentioned he has the greatest rock n roll scream/growl in history. I know you guys have listened to Backdoor Man already, but I highly suggest "Backdoor Man Absolutely Live" for the greatest Morrison screams, and growls. It'll blow your mind that somebody can do that. LIVE even.
New to your guys channel and an definitely a fan, I have been a huge Doors fan since jr high, Jim and the boys got me through alot of hard times growing up, you should check out LA Woman and When the music's over, much appreciated
It started with hearing “Riders on the Storm” that I became interested in the Doors. First I bought all the Doors records, then all the Compact Disks, nowadays I stream all the Doors' music. After the Beatles, the Doors are my favorite pop group.
A lot of parents were probably alarmed and frightened by The Doors when this came out in 1968. It is of a piece with what was going on. My copy of "Waiting For The Sun" (the LP this song came from) credits Doug Lubahn as "occasional bass" but I wonder if it isn't mainly Ray Manzarek's keyboard bass furnishing that bottom. And Robby Krieger's guitar has that great psychedelic tone, love it. My vote for next reaction is "L.A. Woman."
Such a cool old school band. They're so good. This song is pure ear candy. If you haven't done it, do "Roadhouse Blues" and if you did do that one, try "The End."
Val actually recorded a significant part of The Doors catalogue, and presented it to the surviving members, who couldn't consistently tell Val's singing from Jim's.
""fun" fact about this ; Jim was drunk when this song was recorded ...being a huge Doors fan I noticed it ,, it was cofirmed by drummer John Densmore. In my opinion this song sounds so punk rock , ahead of its time
The Doors are classic and you can never go wrong with them at all. They also never used a bass guitar, it was all on the electronic organ that Ray played. Waiting on the Sun is by far one of their best albums and y'all should really check My Wild Love which is acoustic. No instruments what so ever.
No one else sounds like this and they just improv at times and rock in the most unique way that is all them. This stuff was mind blowing back in the day, the Doors were always part of our trips. Never saw the original band but saw them reform them with Ray Manzarak on incredible keys and Robbie Krieger on legendary guitar, they recruited Ian Astbury of the Cult for lead vocals and he did a fine Jim Morrison impression for stage presence and vocals, it was a great show, over 2 hours long and all the great hits done faithfully and enthusiastically by them, they were so happy to be playing those great old tunes again. Do When the Music's Over, A great epic you need to hear. Amber, you are one Rocking being and love your reactions to great songs! Rob Squad Rocks! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I was fortunate enough to see this reconstituted version of the Doors at a music festival and it was magic. I had no idea they were playing until I was at the event on saw them on the play list. I could not believe I was listening to the actual Doors, sans Jim of course, but as you said Ian killed it.
I agree with Aaron you guys would love When the music's over, the song itself is such a statement in itself! You guys need to get around to reacting to Oliver Stone's The Doors the movie about Jim and the actor who played Doc Holiday in Tombstone portrays Jim Morrison himself. I know you guys love Val Kilmer so I don't know why you haven't checked out Oliver Stone's The Doors 1991 yet?
There was no Bass guitar. The Keyboardist Ray Manzerak played bass pedals with his feet, at the same time he played the keyboards. He was a musical genius. RIP
The Doors sound was so varied! They could make top tier songs in different styles because they were incredible musicians and Jim could sing his butt off. So much passion and creativity from them all.
Talk about this side of Jim: best scream in rock history far as I'm concerned is in their song When The Music's Over, both live and studio, but especially all the different lives. the crowds began expecting an explosive moment during that song, and Jim started really messing with them at that part of the song with false starts and things just to build tension. Def check the studio cut before the live on that, but the lives are fun.
This is the problem with the The Doors, you can't make your mind about "the best" song by them, it might as well depend on your current mood. I'd looove to see a reaction of you both of the Morrison Hotel complete album one day 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Can't go wrong with The Doors!
The Doors were ahead of their time, and you might say, right on time to take the music scene by storm. Check out "Twentieth Century Fox" by the Doors. Super fun. The Doors can't go wrong!! 💯🔥🔥
Great suggestion. I always forget about that song but it is a classic.
Another forgotten gem from the first album is "Take It As It Comes."
A forgotten gem from the Strange Days album is "My Eyes Have Seen You." Great music, really great lines! "My eyes have seen you. Let them photograph your soul, memorize your alleys on an endless role." It sounds good to even just speak it!
My bamlnd used to do 20th century fox and soul kitchen...once we did not to touch the earth, but we were drunk.
Your next Doors’ reaction ought to be “When The Music is Over”.
Absolutely! 🎤
Yes. I predict it will become their "Special Friend"...
Next doors should be (peace frog), (when the musics over), (the end), crystal ship
One of these beauties
The Soft Parade song has many interesting bits to it - deffo a Doors classic
Peace Frog, When the Music’s Over, The Soft Parade, The End are all good stuff.
I feel like the Doors are timeless. This could come out today and it still would rock. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Definitely
Out of the anti-war and civil rights anti government times. "The old get older and the young get stronger" "They've got the guns but we've got the numbers".
I say it every time!
The Doors are my all-time favorite 😎🚬👍
Jay & Amber, don't see a reaction to "LA Woman", did it get blocked?? If not, its a must hear, Jim's vocals are Amazing!!
Same for "Light My Fire" - I'm thinking it got blocked because there's no way they'd overlook it.
Ive always looked for The DOors reactions almost weekly, Im pretty positive their LA Woman video is blocked and ive never seen them do light my fire, ive always commented they should do light my fire but it never gets upvoted haha

I made this comment bef
Your ball room days are over baby always gets me
"Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes" is about hippies begging for change.
If you’re interested, check out The Doors (1991); Val Kilmer stars as Jim Morrison, and he performs a cool version of this song.
@@ClearlyBlissful I know. He said basically that Oliver Stone “butchered” Jim Morrison.
@@christopherferrarelli2262I do like Val as an actor.
@@ClearlyBlissful He was also good in Thunderheart!
@@RJ986Sand in Tombstone. 😃
@@ClearlyBlissful I'd be remiss if I didn't mention he even played The Dark Knight in Batman Forever, and followed that up starring opposite Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in Heat.
I always loved this song. It is kind of a deep dive into The Doors.

Love this book! The Doors/Jim Morrison were still very popular in the 80s, so I read this book in the late 80s when living in L.A. Sooo good.
@@jenniferfoster1692 Right on!😄
I always thought it said "no one here gets out of line"😂😂😂 it was one of my grandpa's favorites. I was born decades after this came out.
@@Rebel-cd6gc Haha, that's hilarious. Though as far as misunderstood lyrics go, that's not bad at all. 😅

If you haven’t already.. watch the movie the Doors… You will be absolutely floored! Val Kilmer gives a performance for the ages!
Jim was a poet without a song ~ Ray Manzarak had melodies without words to sing~ together they were a gift
Live Morrison sang "we got to go out in this car with these people and get FUCKED UP"... (anyone pushing the Doors movie is a morn FYI)
You gotta react to Moonlight Drive, one of the first songs he wrote.
Oh yeah Robbie 's slide guitar still gives me chills!
Here's a link to Moonlight Drive. ruclips.net/video/uCX8VJIYgM8/видео.htmlsi=5bstOhptLJxXBHBS
Doors had no bass player. That sound cones from keyboardist
“Spanish Caravan” is another very unique Doors jam you should check out.
the Alabama song or the wasp
💯
Waiting for The Sun 💛
The live version from their album, "Absolutely Live," is tremendous.
Together for five short years and yet their impact is felt today 50+ years later. One of the most impactful bands of all time.
"Not to touch the earth"... will blow your mind!

My fav Doors bass guitar groove is LA Woman. They hired Elvis Presley's bass guitarist for that one.
The brother of a colleague of mine, by the name Harvey Brooks, (also a bass player&sax player) had contributed bass on The Soft Parade sessions
Met Doug backstage at Sun Fest back in 2004. He was there visiting Ray & Robby, got to talk a few minutes, very nice guy.
One small correction: for live gigs, Manzarek played the bass part with his left hand on a Fender Rhodes keyboard bass, as opposed to bass pedals which organ players like Felix Cavaliere of The Young Rascals used (mainly on a Hammond B3). So Ray only had one hand to play the organ chords and solo bits on his Vox organ, while his left hand played the bass line.

The poetry of a Shaman sculpted with music.
That's what you've got here.
Not sure if you guys reacted their song -Riders On The Storm…
🔥🔥🔥The Crystal Ship, The Unknown Soldier, and Peace Frog are all Doors songs that need to be heard.
Peace From Pennsylvania ✌️
If you want to hear some real funky vibes from The Doors, give ‘The Changeling’ a listen!
That's an awesome song too.
Also, this refers to the younger generation versus the older generation at the time, which was 5:1. (Under 21 I believe.)
One of my favorite Doors songs. You should check out "Unknown Soldier"
You guys are JUST NOW getting started into the "nitty gritty" of the epic Jim Morrison and the doors songs!! You've only been playing "the pop radio hits' they had, now you shall find out much more about the doors music. "Not to touch the earth", "The Soft parade" and "Texas big beat radio" should be the next songs you react to....
I would be so down for all three of those.
This Is My Favorite Song Of The Doors,Nice Reaction Guy's 😊
"Your ballroom days are over, baby." is one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite Doors songs. If you love this down and dirty Doors, there are plenty on their last 2 albums Morrison Hotel and LA Woman. Maggie McGill, Been Down So Long, Cars Hiss by My Window and Crawling King Snake just to name a few.
I was just about to name those 4 tracks as they fit this mood, plus are my favourites. I also really dig The Changeling!
I do, too - love the Changeling! Love every song on Morrison Hotel and LA Woman.@@nikki-noir
"they got the guns but we got the numbers'
LA Woman rocks. Jerry Scheff rocked that bass line. He was Elvis Presley's bassman.
I know and he was so vital to making the album one of the best of all time.@@willdwyer6782
The Doors did not have a Bass Player. Ray Manzerek produced all Bass sounds with his Keyboard
They used a bassist on their studio recordings. SMH
They have plenty of records with bass guitar tracks on them. Doug Lubhan played bass guitar on most of their records including this song. If you can't hear that bass guitar you might want to see an audiologist.
This is definitely in my top 5 Doors songs. There's that dirty blues sound, all tangled up with Jim's dark and almost guterral vocals. 🤘
I have never heard this song before. But, I've been a Doors fan ever since their first hit 'Light My Fire'🔥 lit up radio in 1967. This song took me to a place deep in my rock n roll spirit I never felt before. TY for the visceral experience 😂
❤ Rock On🎉
An avid fan of The Doors that has never heard one if their hits? Hmmmm....
You've only had 50+ years to hear it
Legendary 🎶🎶 The Doors . All their Albums , Songs we're off the hook 🤩
If you love he Blues side of the Doors, your next song should be The WASP (Texas Radio and The Big Beat). From the LA Woman album.
My favorite Doors album. Every song is amazing. Been Down So Long is another bluesy one.
@@KenRoerden An all time classic album
I think Forrest Gump said it best: "The Doors are like a box of chocolate. You never know what you're gonna get". At least I think it was him...
You should watch The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl! Morrison is magnetic.
Sweet, I’ve been waiting for ages. 😂 Also check out the Collected Works of Jim Morrison - a big book of his writings.
My parents got me this album for Christmas,I think this track frightened the hell l out of them,as a teenager it all made sense to me,Robbie's guitar still gives me chills!
Song so good that Jay Z sampled it (“Takeover”) 😎
the soft parade is one of my favorites. A definite check out.
Soft Parade was one of the 2 albums from his era that he had to share with me(the other was Iron Butterfly). Definitely a killer vibe.
Mr. Mojo Risin is a rearrangement of the letters in Jim Morrison.
Ya gotta check the live version....usually paired with Backdoor Man.....good stuff
The Doors don't have any bad tracks. Jim was rock's "Prince of Darkness" long before Ozzy. He truly had that dangerous, dark vibe about him, like a dark Elvis. For my money, the best rock frontman ever. At his best, he had everything. It's a shame we didn't have him at his best for more time, but maybe that just makes what we had all the more special.
Not to say the bobbies oh that was pretty
An all time great song from the era, that never stopped being cool for even a second since it was released.
No one here gets out alive.
Definitely one of my favorite Doors songs. But there's four that you really need to check out in my opinion.
The End
When The Music's Over
Soft Parade
Unknown Soldier
Love the Doors! Great song and the Jim''s vocals are killer. The era was definitely turbulent and many artists were high on psychedelics, which contributed greatly to using sounds and styles of music, lyrics being written and the whole feeling of a song. This is a mind trip and there is no doubt this comes from the trip to the other side.
You guys have to watch the Movie (The Doors...... All about the Doors and Jim Morrison)
You guys like THIS?? Wanna treat?… try The Doors “My Wild Love”.. THAT one trips me out! 😮😂
Also, along this same style of rock (in my opinion) is Jimi Hendrix’s “If 6 Was 9”..
I'll tell you a song you should do; The Doors being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, doing the Roadhouse Blues with Eddie Vedder sitting in for Jim Morrison.
After "The Doors Of Perception"...
The Doors...
Some great bass riffs in Love Me Two Times and Strange Days...
Love Her Madly...Riders On The Storm...L.A. Woman...Light My Fire...so many more great songs...
Check "Been Down So Long" studio version from the L.A. Woman record.
Speaking of you guys not knowing Jim Morrison got down with that gritty type of sound. Jack Black, and others mentioned he has the greatest rock n roll scream/growl in history. I know you guys have listened to Backdoor Man already, but I highly suggest "Backdoor Man Absolutely Live" for the greatest Morrison screams, and growls. It'll blow your mind that somebody can do that. LIVE even.
Just don't let yourselves go into shock listening to An American Prayer 🤣🤣🤣
sounds kind of like queen appropriated the bass riff off this (Another One Bites the Dust)...just sayin':)
Love this track and so glad you enjoyed it, try ‘Unknown Soldier’ next
New to your guys channel and an definitely a fan, I have been a huge Doors fan since jr high, Jim and the boys got me through alot of hard times growing up, you should check out LA Woman and When the music's over, much appreciated
3:04 This stanza is about the hypocrisy Morrison saw in the Hippe/free love movement.
Actually dated a girl in highschool. 1994 she made me bring the doors cd for play if you know what I mean lol
It started with hearing “Riders on the Storm” that I became interested in the Doors. First I bought all the Doors records, then all the Compact Disks, nowadays I stream all the Doors' music. After the Beatles, the Doors are my favorite pop group.
Same, it came on the car radio in heavy rain and I was like "who's this?". Was so atmospheric.
Please react to "The Soft Parade" by The Doors. It's a long trippy song.
"The End" by the Doors needs to be the last reaction done of The Doors by Rob Squad.
Maggie magill or rhe changeling for more dirty blusey doors I love all of it so just keep em comming.deepcuts are always the jewels though
Morrison's criticism of the hippie/flower power people spending their time panhandling.
The Doors - Peace Frog next please.
Yes!.. and please include Blue Sunday!
A lot of parents were probably alarmed and frightened by The Doors when this came out in 1968. It is of a piece with what was going on.
My copy of "Waiting For The Sun" (the LP this song came from) credits Doug Lubahn as "occasional bass" but I wonder if it isn't mainly Ray Manzarek's keyboard bass furnishing that bottom. And Robby Krieger's guitar has that great psychedelic tone, love it.
My vote for next reaction is "L.A. Woman."
Such a cool old school band. They're so good. This song is pure ear candy. If you haven't done it, do "Roadhouse Blues" and if you did do that one, try "The End."
Please add the movie The Doors to your queue. Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison is everything.
Val actually recorded a significant part of The Doors catalogue, and presented it to the surviving members, who couldn't consistently tell Val's singing from Jim's.
Classic!
Guys, Jay Z sampled this on his response diss track to Nas's Ether.
5 to 1, Peace Frog, Spanish Caravan, Maggie M’Gill, The Crystal Ship & People are Strange are my favorites 💜💫
This one is a banger!
This is where Kanye got the sample for Jay-Z "The Takeover"
The live version, on the Absolutely Live album, is even better.
The doors Hollywood bowl 1968 would be a great movie review
He was the lizard king, I would sing this when I was 6 yrs
Some of the Best Music Ever. 💯❤️🔥
U got a new fan wheneve u post doors content. I recommend reviewing “the end”
""fun" fact about this ; Jim was drunk when this song was recorded ...being a huge Doors fan I noticed it ,, it was cofirmed by drummer John Densmore. In my opinion this song sounds so punk rock , ahead of its time
The Doors are classic and you can never go wrong with them at all.
They also never used a bass guitar, it was all on the electronic organ that Ray played.
Waiting on the Sun is by far one of their best albums and y'all should really check My Wild Love which is acoustic. No instruments what so ever.
No one else sounds like this and they just improv at times and rock in the most unique way that is all them. This stuff was mind blowing back in the day, the Doors were always part of our trips. Never saw the original band but saw them reform them with Ray Manzarak on incredible keys and Robbie Krieger on legendary guitar, they recruited Ian Astbury of the Cult for lead vocals and he did a fine Jim Morrison impression for stage presence and vocals, it was a great show, over 2 hours long and all the great hits done faithfully and enthusiastically by them, they were so happy to be playing those great old tunes again. Do When the Music's Over, A great epic you need to hear. Amber, you are one Rocking being and love your reactions to great songs! Rob Squad Rocks! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Manzarek above.
I was fortunate enough to see this reconstituted version of the Doors at a music festival and it was magic. I had no idea they were playing until I was at the event on saw them on the play list. I could not believe I was listening to the actual Doors, sans Jim of course, but as you said Ian killed it.
I agree with Aaron you guys would love When the music's over, the song itself is such a statement in itself! You guys need to get around to reacting to Oliver Stone's The Doors the movie about Jim and the actor who played Doc Holiday in Tombstone portrays Jim Morrison himself. I know you guys love Val Kilmer so I don't know why you haven't checked out Oliver Stone's The Doors 1991 yet?
There was no Bass guitar. The Keyboardist Ray Manzerak played bass pedals with his feet, at the same time he played the keyboards. He was a musical genius. RIP
Doug Luhban played bass on this album. Ray played a Fender Rhodes keyboard Bass when they played live.
You gotta listen to the Doors The Soft Parade it's a killer tune
Thank you for always brightening my day with your awesomeness!
New single of my band the dlesstycs ruclips.net/video/C6ReJQiW_BU/видео.htmlfeature=shared
give a listen to The Doors The End you want a great Doors song this is it thanks
Ye sampled this perfectly in Takeover
The Doors sound was so varied! They could make top tier songs in different styles because they were incredible musicians and Jim could sing his butt off. So much passion and creativity from them all.
Finally! Best rockin Doors song ❤ this is a definite Jay tune.
Talk about this side of Jim: best scream in rock history far as I'm concerned is in their song When The Music's Over, both live and studio, but especially all the different lives. the crowds began expecting an explosive moment during that song, and Jim started really messing with them at that part of the song with false starts and things just to build tension.
Def check the studio cut before the live on that, but the lives are fun.
Please react to The End. My very favorite. Very very eerie
This is the problem with the The Doors, you can't make your mind about "the best" song by them, it might as well depend on your current mood. I'd looove to see a reaction of you both of the Morrison Hotel complete album one day 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You don't know how long I have waited on your reaction to this song.
Fun Tidbit: Jay-Z used this song as a sample in his diss of Nas in "Takeover".
I didn't expect to have to dig so deep for this comment!
