Discovering the doors music over the last year and half has been an amazing journey so far. Knowing these guys only played music for about 5 years and they made so much good stuff makes me believe they really are the best band ever!!
A truly wicked blues-rock gem here! Another Jim Morrison masterwork here. Wicked Jim Morrison lyrics set to excellent blues slide guitar work by Robbie Krieger!
I was so lucky to see ray and Robbie play in Dublin a few years back ray has since passed away I'll never forget it what a night of music Dublin Ireland the doors forever all the way to the grave I'll be listening to this fantastic band
Jimbo was a hell of an Irish American bluesman & poet ahead of the times. Big respect to the fans from abroad that acknowledge one of the GOAT bands of our lifetime.

I think most of the great poets were drunk off their asses. I like Jim Morrison and Leonard Cohen the best of the 20th Century, but the 19th Century Romantic poets like Byron, Keats and Shelley are just as good, and the absolute greatest was Robbie Burns!
True but at the time when they came one they were mediocre and you had bands like black sabbath and aerosmith that blew up after their first album. Personally doors are my favourits not just cause jim. It took some time for people to realise their genius these days nobody cares, one good song and they are popular.
Lexi Kalexo erm don't you think that aerosmith and black Sabbath came along much later thanThe Doors (who, I belive got signed at around 66/67?) and poor Jim just like poor Janis and Jimi and Brian all were dead by 1971 so that according to my knowledge was way befoe any of the bands you mentioned.but I do agree that nowadays nobody knows and people need educating in terms of real music....
merit peet I wasnt thinking about the time they came out but how popular they were at the time when their first albums came out and the doors werent immediately popular unlike aerosmith and black sabbath(actiually i dont think black sabbath got insta famous but only after they played before jetho tull). My point was that it took some time for them to grow famous and there could be bunch of bands these days that are like that just have no ability to get out there and sell their stuff. Worst thing is there could be bands that made really great albums that would bring them insta fame but same problem with them.
Lexi Kalexo Alright then, I mustve misunderstood what you were saying.. truth to be said, I cant quite remember how popular or unpopular the doors were, I did watch their documentary.. well, about the bands nowadays and the companies, in my opinion its all gone tits up as what the companies want now is something catchy and something that sells, and is trendy, I mean you get a few intresting ones from time to time, but they usually burn out after an album or so, and either got commercial or fade.. my opinion.. im not into todays chart music and don't bother with it, also im (possibly fairly ignorant) and don't really look out for any new bands either, I just stick with listening to the old stuff, which is best.. but I agree it is bloody hard for anyone now to see their stuff and get noted, so many out there, often similar, ones that are actually good, either cant manage to sell themselves or don't even want to bother and I personally don't blame them....I think currently the music scene is based on one hit wonders(truth to be said it has been so before too) and they aren't meant to last but, I don't know if its me or is the music (well, one you hear on the radio getting shittier and shittier) but then it does depend on what station ones tunes into, there are some non commercial stations out there, through iTunes ive found them, that play old stuff... ..

Unbelievable how much music these guys put out to the world, not to mention the quality, in only 3 yrs! That blows me away that so many amazing songs were written and laid down on such classic records in such a short period of time. That's what a lot of casual admirers of this band don't really recognize bc bands like the Stones have a lot of great songs but over decades really.
The stones suck lol they have a couple good songs really. The get over played alot but honestly the doors and led zeppelin are the greatest rock bands ever.
i was literally thinking along those line just before i saw yr comment, being that this was not 'typical' doors song i imagined how much more they had in them, but non the less, it's better to have a legend, even a myth than just another Stones or some such
Happy to say: I wore that tan lined jacket, clear at 0:13 and on. It was in possession of the fellow who had the office next to the Doors and Pamela took it an stashed it in his office. His daughter found it in her Dad's closet. Came close to owning it but, she decided it belonged in a museum or something. Damn!
Raw and real--love the gritty down to earth stuff off this album-- great job on this post--fitting and especially dig the outakes from the Morrison Hotel photo shoot...
Told my boss to get to the hesh, quit the damn job, grabbed my bottle, my cigs then went to the square with my guitar. hat off, some dimes in it... lifes good.
i know an actual bass guitar was used for some studio recordings. but live it was manzarek who filled the bass. this was just a quote from an amazingly funny skit from 'the kids in the hall'. if you are unfamiliar with the show/skit look up 'kids in the hall the doors skit' in the search. its a lot of fun to watch.
"...if you're sad and feeling blue go out and buy a brand new shoes..." Jim, the world's a sadder place, without you. You gave us shelter against the storm. Jeez, i'm out of weed
you don't understand the message in the song, do you? It's about screwing to forget. I'm sure it works for a while, but not something I ascribe to. But, yeah, I love this song, especially the guitar. Oh, and they didn't have to wear make up back then in order to sound good. Everyone was apart of the scene (unless you were in the military).
WaysOld well, better the Doors then a group of guys who all dye their hair black and wear makeup on stage, because without it, their music wouldn't have the same effect on their audience. I like music more than corporate whoredom.
I have a feeling that Jim genuinely liked Robby Krieger a lot and felt comfortable around him. On the other side, I feel like he never really liked John and Ray and never felt comfortable around them (going off of their body language throughout all their pictures).
A GENIOUS in all he wrote, said and did...some of us like Jim are born and meant to go thru life leaving a sort of legacy...even if that legacy isnt noticed at the time ...but despite it lives on and forever. Misundertood ppl? maybe... ahead of the times...well certainly... but loving and soft hearted indeed ...who cares what others say or think...we are true to our nature...!!!!
Jeff George we are true to our nature and my psychology professor said that what is normal for humans is not happiness but to escape reality. I believe the good Professor.
This is one of my absolute favorite Doors songs, and yes I realize how odd that may be. To me, this song is the bomb! They could've stretched it to 15 minutes and never change rhythm and I'd just keep on listening and tapping my foot.
@@paulguzman1634 It's the whole package. The lyrics, the silly story about Maggie, then some classic ramblings of Jim Morrison about illegitimate kids being conceived in the back of a car and then topping it off with the bold claim of how he's been singing the blues since the world began when DUDE!, last year you were singing The Soft Parade! Haven't even mentioned the driving beat and Kreiger & Manzarek trading licks on guitars. Heck, I don't know why it doesn't get radio play, but for me it's always been like a little known special treasure. Yeah, I dig Maggie M'Gill...
Your preference for this song is not odd at all. I favor the Morrison Hotel album, even though, I love all the Doors albums. Everything. I own almost everything 😄🙏👍So..... this dong means a lot to a lot of people because of the imagery & memories it stirs. I had no real, true po arents- for example. And others have told me that they click with this song for the same reasons. I'm just glad I had very special Grandparents. Ya know? I cudda been so lost. 🌹💓Bless you too.
I looked it up recently. It is on Hope St, facing west, just about even with the Staples Center. Somebody repainted the window, as on the cover, and LA had its official Day of the Doors there in January. Not clear what is going to become of the building, if anything.
Combining wicked blues with some psychedelic garage rock shows this an amazing song. I thing rock started hitting its stride with the Doors and other bands in1969 &70's. This song/album and others are not time stamped. They are timeless creations of pure creativity.
My Man Jim.Working this tune now because that riff has me infected , I am a willing prisoner to Robbie Kriegers Voodoo Back stang on this huunny.Love it long!.Playin My own blue's for 37 years now.That guitar and me will always play on because of incredible music like this.I put no man before Jim when it comes to R&R writers.
Jim Morrison possessed a sad Shaman soul, and a head full of demons. Bi polarized, bound to explore, and the need to express.. Ryan Manzurak was the heartbeat, and together, they were that slow moving wave of energy that seemed to wash over you, and made you feel good.. that deep unmatchable boggie which the Doors were known for.
Great job on the Video. This song is such a great example of the Doors playing some great blues. The Doors are like a gem. So many different facets, so many ways to behold them. The American Prayer album, in my opinion was their apex, MAINLY because they finally reached their goal of putting Jim's poetry to music, using the "spoken word", and released it into the mainstream music of that era. The dilemma that plagued Jim the most was to be accepted as a spoken/written poet. Peace..
If there was a tune that just played all around me, every time I stood up and put my feet to the ground, this is it. There's simply not another tune in the world that sounds anything like it. And it's a blues tune. How that is even possible is something that exists between the known and unknown. (CUT TO: THE DOORS)
Lovely vid.Dunno if Ive stopped by and commented before.But its really great that you used photos from the Morrison Hotel photo "sessions". I dont remember the photographer's name now.But- most people dont know the story behind the album cover. It was an actual Hotel in LA they just so happened to find while out n about with the photographer.They had no permission to shoot in the Hotel or around it but they got some quick shots inside and around the place and left! heheThank you for this. ~"jen"
omg this just tangles up and down ...and in and out like omg ...and does it all again ..back of a rock and roll car ....old blues man ....just singing the blues ...fantastic stuff ...so good I'll do a replay ...!!
Raymond Daniel Manzarek, conocido artísticamente como Ray Manzarek (Chicago, EE. UU., 12 de febrero de 1939 - Rosenheim, Alemania, 20 de mayo de 2013) fue un músico, cantante, productor, director de cine y escritor estadounidense. Fue cofundador y teclista de la banda de rock The Doors entre 1965 y 1973, y en The Doors of the 21th Century (luego Manzarek - Krieger) desde 2001.
First heard this song in 78 when I was 12. I had to have the album and when I got it I played it over and over. It’s still as fresh as it was in the 70’s! Love it love it love it! Morrison Hotel is an absolute classic!

"Mom met Dad in the back of a rock-n-roll car." one of Jim's lyrical gems.

Love to hear Jim sing the blues!!
Jim was born to sing the Blues!!!✌️
The perfect song for Jim's vocal range and proof that that he was a blues singer, not a "pop"artist.
Totally agree, he was a blues singer, not a rockstar.
@@leonardocaballero9718 did both exceptionally well. Rog. Pacific sunset records

My Man Jim.Working this tune now because that riff has me infected , I am a willing prisoner to Robbie Kriegers Voodoo Back stang on this huunny.Love it long!.Playin My own blue's for 37 years now.That guitar and me will always play on because of incredible music like this.I put no man before Jim when it comes to R&R writers.
Hermosa como todo el disco ❤
Jim Morrison possessed a sad Shaman soul, and a head full of demons. Bi polarized, bound to explore, and the need to express.. Ryan Manzurak was the heartbeat, and together, they were that slow moving wave of energy that seemed to wash over you, and made you feel good.. that deep unmatchable boggie which the Doors were known for.
Great job on the Video. This song is such a great example of the Doors playing some great blues. The Doors are like a gem. So many different facets, so many ways to behold them. The American Prayer album, in my opinion was their apex, MAINLY because they finally reached their goal of putting Jim's poetry to music, using the "spoken word", and released it into the mainstream music of that era. The dilemma that plagued Jim the most was to be accepted as a spoken/written poet. Peace..
. . .been singing the blues sence the world began . . . when the music over, turn out the lights
one of my favourites :)
Fab song as well as a Fab Doors video collage!
Masters of poetry..
Шаман человеческих душ. Слушаю его бесконечно и буду слушать ещё сколько же.

"Every since the world began" Owwwwww Love this!!!!!!!!
Maggie came over last night...bliss
One of the best Doors songs, something you can move your feet to, I love it !!!
If there was a tune that just played all around me, every time I stood up and put my feet to the ground, this is it. There's simply not another tune in the world that sounds anything like it. And it's a blues tune. How that is even possible is something that exists between the known and unknown. (CUT TO: THE DOORS)
Genia besos y abrazos Alá distancia amiga 😎🙌✌💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷💋👄❤💘
When I was about 14/15 I played Morrison Hotel album to death along with LA Woman.
haha im super drunk too, listening to this. just great
awesome indeed!!!
Lovely vid.Dunno if Ive stopped by and commented before.But its really great that you used photos from the Morrison Hotel photo "sessions". I dont remember the photographer's name now.But- most people dont know the story behind the album cover. It was an actual Hotel in LA they just so happened to find while out n about with the photographer.They had no permission to shoot in the Hotel or around it but they got some quick shots inside and around the place and left! heheThank you for this. ~"jen"
It's from the cover art of the album "Live at the Matrix 1967"
какая гормония во всем и в голосе и в инструментах Великая группа Слава
They ragged the Beatles and the Stones but Morrison was so great our parents were speechless (1970)
Always good with some Jim, Beam.
I think I'll go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes..
Funky bass line coupled with Jim's vocals and word choice
the greatest blues singer of all time. nobody meant it more
This song is dangerous when you’re sipping on some brews🥴
omg this just tangles up and down ...and in and out like omg ...and does it all again ..back of a rock and roll car ....old blues man ....just singing the blues ...fantastic stuff ...so good I'll do a replay ...!!
Raymond Daniel Manzarek, conocido artísticamente como Ray Manzarek (Chicago, EE. UU., 12 de febrero de 1939 - Rosenheim, Alemania, 20 de mayo de 2013) fue un músico, cantante, productor, director de cine y escritor estadounidense. Fue cofundador y teclista de la banda de rock The Doors entre 1965 y 1973, y en The Doors of the 21th Century (luego Manzarek - Krieger) desde 2001.
It is 2021 and The Doors are still number 1 - with a Bullet!
First heard this song in 78 when I was 12. I had to have the album and when I got it I played it over and over. It’s still as fresh as it was in the 70’s! Love it love it love it! Morrison Hotel is an absolute classic!
Samael Yoda Hell yeah he had a knack for saying some of the coolest shit ever! I got some Irish in me so it’s an Irish thing I guess!
78
Me too! Back then I knew about the Doors but at the time I was stuck on the Beatles.
That's so cool man. I've been listening since 84. First album for me was An American Prayer. Never looked back. Also mass credit to Ray Manzarek.
THE DOORS=PURE GENIUS!!!!!!!!!
They were a one off... synergy and poetry mixed with sex and aggression. Rock and roll defined. Definition of cool.
wow weren't ya just brilliant R.I.P
The Doors.......that's right. Mr Mojo Risin. CLASSIC JIM AT HIS BEST ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE FELLAS!
