“Don’t you love her Madly”!
“Riders on the Storm!”
“Light My Fire”
“Break on Through to the Other Side”
Other excellent songs!!
Jim Morrison amazing singer!
The End.
Backdoor Man.
Whisky Bar.
LA Woman, my fav.
All good songs 🙋🏻♀️
When the Music's Over (there is a good version of them playing it live for TV)
Five to One
Peace Frog
Cars Hiss By My Window
Maggie McGill is a good one but seriously underrated I feel
This song reminds me of the 80’s movie, The Lost Boys. It was featured prominently in the movie/soundtrack. I went through SUCH a hardcore Doors phase in high school, and college. Still have a huge appreciation for their music.
Echo and the Bunnymen sang the song on that movie..
Most of the music on the sound track are covers. My fav. Is Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me( (orig. by Elton John) but sung by Roger Daltry of The Who.
This may be an unpopular opinion around here, but I like the Echo & the Bunnymen version better than the Doors' original.
Lost Boys.... That whole soundtrack is awesome. Y'all should give it a watch sometime , it will not disappoint. "How are the worms Michael. " say hello to the night...muahaha.
@@liveandletdie7187 I know.
I agree. Riders on the Storm. But I love this song also. They’re both kind of spooky/mysterious/creepy fun songs.
My favorite version of Riders on the Storm is off Jim Morrison's American Prayer, it plays in the background as Jim Morrison is making a phone call and is taking about how he just killed someone
"The Crystal Ship" is another great song by them. It's hauntingly beautiful.
The Doors were everything, Riders On The Storm is a must!
Yes they need to storm onto that great tune!
@@joelliebler5690 lol yes they’ll love it.
As well as L A Woman and "The End."
yes they will love it, also light my fire 7 minute version
@@SLOPPEWALL Yes L. A. Woman and Light My Fire are great also.
I once was standing in line in a store behind Ray Manzarek (Doors keyboardist) and I didn’t realize I was staring but he turned around and he gave me a huge stare with his eyes exaggeratedly large. We’re about the same height. I started laughing. He started laughing and we had a pleasant conversation that had nothing to do with music. I always remember that funny face he made when I hear Doors songs, especially this one. I’m sure his soul is somewhere making magic music.
I LOVE Morrison's use of lyrical alliteration in this song, "Women seem Wicked, When you're unWanted" (Brilliant!)
That's because Jim Morrison was a poet
That's a good psychological analysis, too. 😁 very pithy.
It's hardly alliteration.
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 It most certainly is.
@@jasonbone5121 It ain't and no one likes alliteration. Alliteration is a one trick pony that is grating, boring and insulting to the ears. Alliteration is what kids in high school use to seem sophisticated.

“When the musics over” is a phenomenal Doors tune. It’s one over their masterpieces.
@Barry Katz Two different songs. Both brilliant.
"End of the Night" is another great one. Kind of in the same vein.
And you guys haven't even heard their best songs yet...next "Riders On The Storm" please!!!
Essential.
peace frog
Riders On the Storm is my favorite Doors song. You'll love it!
This what the first song I ever heard from them…on one of my brothers skateboarding VHS’s….fell in love with them ever since. Please react to “Touch Me” one of my favorites from The Doors and “Riders On The Storm”
As I am listening to this song I am wrapped up in my Doors quilt that my son had made for me with many of my husbands concert tee shirts. He idolized this band and he use to say he was Jim reincarnated. Well he is now rockin with Jim and Ray in Rock n Roll Heaven. Awesome reaction guys! You guys Rock
The late organ player Ray Manzarek of The Doors deserves recognition for his sound in the band.
Robbie Krieger (guitar) & John Densmore (drums) were the original band w/ Jim Morrison (vocals)
Light my fire ✌️
I knew them all (well,not Jim though) when they played at the Starwood nightclub,in LA.They played there a few times,and were all nice guys. They were under the name "The Butts Band". John Densmore was especially nice to me. Whenever he came into the club and saw me,he told me to come upstairs for a drink when I got time. I usually did. And no,I wasnt a groupie or anything like that. I cleaned the dressing rooms every night,plus I ran the coat check.
Back in the '30's through WWII, Ray Manzarek's folks owned the general store in my one-stoplight hometown of Ingleside (Fox Lake), Illinois, where he grew up.He definetly gained "Favorite Son" status...
@@xScooterAZx That is incredible. Thanks for sharing that story with us all.
Let's not forget that Ray also produced and played on several of the early X albums.
Don't forget that Ray Manzarek -- the keyboardist -- was also playing the bass line. There was NO bass player in the Doors.
The Doors turned my world upside down when they burst on the scene in 1967. This was their second album. I first heard this in September of that year, and had just turned 15. Their first album ("The Doors"), released in January of 1967, remains one of the greatest rock albums ever created. I had NEVER heard anything like this music.
Don't forget that this amazing album was released just ONE MONTH after the first album of Jimi Hendrix ("Are You Experienced"). 1967 was a simply amazing year for anyone who loves rock and roll.
I turn 70 this year, and every song from this album still gives me goose bumps. What awesome music this was.
Janis famously drank Southern Comfort, and the bottle she smacked Jim with was a SC bottle. Beyond that, I think you should listen to "Peace Frog" by The Doors -- crazy title, but a killer track.
I second that! Peace Frog is a must!
As well as Five to One! 🤘🤘
Agree on Peace Frog. Although not my favorite, Riders on the Storm would make for a good reaction video.
Janis and Jim unfortunately became 2 of the chartered members of the 27 club.. Musicians who passed away at the age of 27. Includes Jimi Hendrix and Amy Winehouse too.
Everything I was going to say. Peace Frog is so unique!!
@@davidsaunders6079 Kurt Cobain too. Unfortunately there were a lot of em.
I always think of Morrison and the Doors as the quintessential "surrealist" band. I like your observation about the juxtaposition of the "circus" vibe of the instrumentation contrasted against Jim's dark and haunting vocals. In this song that contrast is what adds to the surrealistic vibe. To me, listening to the Doors is kinda like viewing Salvador Dali paintings. Only darker. LOL Great reaction, guys!
Now you must watch the 80's movie "The Lost Boys"
This song is in it.
It is my all time FAVORITE movie 🎥🍿
The whole soundtrack to the lost boys is killer. Amber would probably LOVE still believe from it.
Yes Kiefer Sutherland my fave, he's STILL so hot!! The soundtrack to Lost Boys was fire!!
Yes! Both the movie and the soundtrack is awesome.
@@lanamanchester1319 he has a great voice too.
Cover version by Echo & the Bunnymen wasn't it?
The Doors of perception will lead to many great songs. Keep Rockin'................
Jim Morrison and The Doors were the perfect Band from the late sixties (1967) and were like no other Band. They could play Blues, Hard Rock, Ballads, you name it.
The soft parade is an amazing track from Jim Morrison. It shows his poetry side. Very different.
Love The Doors. Riders On the Storm, Love Her Madly, Waiting for the Sun, LA Woman, Moonlight Drive, Strange Days, Crystal Ship etc, are all great. Too many to list really. You can't go wrong with The Doors. Go down that rabbit hole!! RIP Jim and Ray.
Alabama Song, I'm a spy, Spanish Caravan, Five to One, The End !
Great songs
@@gfakruddinahmad8316 Absolutely!
Spanish Caravan is amazing and different esp for the time. And Jose Feliciano’s version of ‘light my fire’ is absolutely fantastic!!! Love the Doors!!!
Thanks for suggesting the Jose Feliciano soulful version of Light My Fire! Probably my favorite version of the song.
@@cheryljackson5659 DEFINATELY!!!
Doors are amazing. Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin such a great story.
Unfortunately, both members of the 27 year club. Too many great artists on that list.
Jimi Hendrix was a charter member. Duane Allman and Berry Oakley were only 24.
Val Kilmer played JM in the movie The Doors. I believe he did his own singing too. He was soooo damn good in it.
Yeah, Val was so good in that movie. I saw the doc about him recently and it focused a bit on that role. He got fanatically immersed in it and stayed in character so much that his wife couldn’t handle it and bailed on him.
And the High Priestess was played by Patricia Kennealy who was the actual person Jim did a Celtic handfasting ceremony with.
He was not actually singing!
"Riders On The Storm" is a must, the full cut. My favorite Doors song.
IN MOVIE "LOST BOYS", THIS SONG IS COVERED BY ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN....AND THEY DO IT GREAT
You guys should react to…
The Doors - Riders on the Storm
🎸🤘
Ray Manzarak on keys, Robbie Krieger on guitar and John Densmore on the jazz drums. With Jim Morrison, they are the members of the Doors.
Loved everything the Doors did especially Light My Fire. Some of the musical geniuses we had in the 60s and 70s left this world far too soon….Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin etc etc. They definitely left their marks.
all members of the 27 club
Light My Fire is a masterpiece. My favorite also. So much talent .
Now here is a great band that has stood the test of time and had an iconic singer. They used their Hammond organ a lot for mien.
The Doors were definitely unique, even for the 60's.
The sounds you are talking about were made by Ray Manzarek on Keyboards.
Robby Krieger on Guitar, John Densmore on drums.
Try their first ever single next: Break On Through (To the Other Side)
A lot of music for three musicians. I remember them well. Sad that Jim was so hedonistic and died so young! He was so self destructive.
@Maya Nightwolf - Absolutely. I was a teen in the 60's and so many great artists flamed out and crashed. 😞
Jim Morrison - Vocals
Ray Manzerek - Keyboard/Bass
Robbie Krieger - Guitar
John Densmore - Drums
The Doors are my favorite band. They are one of few who each member was just as strong as everyone else. Yes, Morrison gets more credit than the rest (he was a great showman), but the other three were his equals. Not sure if you've reviewed it before, but if you haven't, I'd request their cover of Whiskey Bar, considering you noticed their carnival vibes. Others I would suggest are LA Woman, Break On Through, or Been Down So Long.
Also, the anecdote you referred to about Jim and Janis is detailed in a book titled Jim Morrison: Life, Death, Legend by Stephen Davis. It's a very interesting read for any Doors fan.
The Lizard King strikes again, The Doors have so much amazing music to offer, I hope you will listen to their most haunting and brooding song The End, the percussion arrangement is insane, and Jim Morrison's awe inspired vocals will leave you shook.
Thank you both for making me and my family smile every day. God bless you and your lovely family.....mission accomplished for the day !!😁
Peace & Love your friendly neighbor to the north ...🙏❤
If you haven't already heard "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm", you should check those out. Both are absolutely necessary songs for anyone with an interest in The Doors.
The Doors were part of the "California Sound" bands. A perfect song for you guys is "Riders on the Storm" with your headphones on. Just close your eyes and let it carry you away!
Amazing Band!! You must sample Riders on the Storm.....best by far and my favorite!
Can't wait to see more of your reactions to The Doors! I also recommend you guys react to The Doors biopic movie starring Val Kilmer - It's a real trip and it'll make you wanna do more research into Jim Morrison.
Jim Morrison what can I say !The Doors, wonderfully fantastic group. thank you!!!
Jay, you were right when you said that you got a circus feel from this song. It's from Strange Days, whose cover depicts a group of circus performers. Other great songs from this album are the title track, Love Me Two Times, Moonlight Drive and the 11 minute finale When the Music's Over. But first you've just gotta hear Riders on the Storm. An iconic song, and the rainfall effects of Ray Manzarek's organ are truly magnificent!!
The Doors have gone in many directions, but the one song you MUST listen to is Riders on the Storm. One of the most beautiful songs you’ll ever hear. Such a gem.
Jay/Amber, his "LA Woman" and "Break On Through" are next for you! Nice transitions in his iconic LA Woman. Break On Through is a banger!. vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, drummer John Densmore.
"The End" of Doors IS a must listening ! That's an apocalyptic poem ! Jim's lyric was at its best ! The song itself is a "Pound, Shilling, Pence" (LSD)
You HAVE to add "Riders On the Storm" to your list! Maybe my favorite Doors song. Hard to pick a favorite. Years ago, Val Kilmer played Jim Morrison in a movie about him.
Echo & The Bunny men made a pretty good cover of this song & was used in the movie "The Lostboys"
"Light My Fire" put them on the map in 1967--a seven-minute masterpiece that needs to be your next Doors reaction. "Touch Me" is another of their classics and has a Vegas vibe with plenty of horns.
Yes. I don’t think they’ve heard “Light My Fire” yet, which insane given that it should be the first Doors song anyone should listen to.
Robbie Creager on guitar, so under rated. Right up there with the legends.
Touch Me by The Doors, that's the one that you have to check out. That is like Jim Morrison doing Frank Sinatra. Great big band sound and great sax solo!
Sorry but that's probably the worst doors song out there.
@@OtherSideOfMorning you're entitled to your opinion, but it's nice for them to get a glimpse of a different side of the band.
I like how you describe it as a bit of a circus sound. I also get a bit of the old sideshow/freak show vibe, because of the bit of a spooky, eerie vibe to it. Definitely a great Halloween song.
"Riders On The Storm", "Love Her Madly", "Light My Fire", "Break On Through (To the Other Side)", "Love Me Two Times" are some more great ones of theirs.
OTHER GREAT SONGS BY THE DOORS:
- BREAK ON THROUGH (TO THE OTHER SIDE): First song on their first album. High-energy and is pretty much the mission statement of the Doors.
- LA WOMAN: It's more of that bluesy sound you liked from the Doors on "Roadhouse Blues."
- NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH: The Doors letting that freak flag fly with a crazy/great song springing from a longer piece of Jim Morrison's poetry. One of my favorites and where Morrison's infamous nickname "the Lizard King" comes from.
- THE CRYSTAL SHIP: Gorgeous, poetic, strangely delicate song from the Doors.
- THE END: If you want to dive into the deep end of the Doors experience, this song is objectively their masterpiece. Knowing how much you like to be transported by songs, Amber, I'll tell you that this is one of those songs. It's not the spacy vibe of a Pink Floyd track but more of an eastern-tinged, poetic, deeply psychological music experience that def takes you along for the ride/vibe. All the Doors songs are different than what other people were doing but this one... this one is more than just a song. It's a piece of art.
You should def check out the Doors performing live as well. You really get the vibe and see the stage presence. Some live performances you might like:
- LOVE ME TWO TIMES: th-cam.com/video/pcAS_i79WYE/w-d-xo.html Also features a snippet of "Texas Radio And The Big Beat" at the beginning. Morrison's magnetism on full display.
- WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER: th-cam.com/video/WbBNzw5YVjk/w-d-xo.html Live on Danish TV.
- BACKDOOR MAN/FIVE TO ONE: th-cam.com/video/6dnpoh7yeSE/w-d-xo.html Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Cover of an old blues song written by Willie Dixon with a Doors song in the middle of it.
The mythology surrounding The Doors generally centers on its lead singer, Jim Morrison. Morrison is still considered one of rock's tortured poets, but The Doors' sound was based largely on Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing.
I loved these guys in high school in the ‘80s. It is a very specific sound, partially thanks to Ray Manzarek’s keyboard work. They didn’t that a bass player; he played the entire bass line on a piano keyboard bass. Morrison, of course wrote most of the lyrics (he didn’t write Light My Fire, for example). So many good songs. Try Crystal Ship or Roadhouse Blues, two very different types of songs.
I agree. Besides Jim Morrison’s voice, Ray Manzarek had much to do with their unique sound.
And I also was really into the Doors during high school in the 80’s!
Try Crystal Ships from the same first album. If you want to hear Morrison sing. Ray played two keyboards, one for melody, and one for the bass. Watch old Doors videos and you will see Ray playing the two keyboards. The Doors were 3 guys on instruments and a singer. No lasers, no spandex, just music. Best band I ever saw live (I’m 71 and have seen a lot of music).
Timeless Classic and personal favorite! L.A. Woman and Roadhouse Blues are Pure Fire!!!
The Doors lacked a bass guitarist (except during recording sessions), so for live performances Ray Manzarek played the bass parts on a Fender Rhodes piano keyboard bass. His signature sound was that of the Vox Continental combo organ, an instrument used by many other psychedelic rock bands of the era.
A version of this a little faster pace was used in the movie The Lost Boys.It was sung by Echo and the bunnymen.I know this is the origional version but the remake to me picked up the pace
Love the version from The Lost Boys.
Love the Echo and the Bunnymen version! Course, The Lost Boys. . .fantastic film. . .
@@stephanies4925 Have to agree with that.
All The Doors songs are great. Please check out Moonlight Drive. It was the first song that Robbie Kreiger played guitar with them. Also check out their song The Alabama Song. Robbie Kreiger was the guitar player. Ray Manzarik Was the keyboard player. And John Densmore was the drummer.
I’m 70 years old and I still have a poster of Jim Morrison on my wall! Love the Doors and your great reaction ☮️❤️🌻👵🏼
I believe Janis drank Southern Comfort 😂
Morrison vocals, Ray manareck keyboard, robbie krieger guitar, John densmore drums
The Doors were appreciated by people who were strange, outcast, intelligent, shy, or just plain odd. The Doors music does carry a touch of the carnival sound with Ray Manzarek's cadence and awkward step. Robbed Kreiger's guitar slithers up and down to invite you closer. John Densmore follows along the jaunty trail while supporting his band mates. But Jim Morrison led the march into his endarkened world of secret alphabets and lost, sometimes frightening or uncomfortable territory. Jim's voice and personality navigates a minefield of beautifully described chaos and broken love scattered like gold dust over fever dreams. His voice the only guidance and security needed to descend deeper and deeper into the subconscious. Music by the Doors open dangerous visions for others to document and explore. We are better for Jim's willing commitment to document his postcards from the edge. His next report of weird scenes should be very interesting.
In the meantime, how about the longer version of LOVE ME TWO TIMES from the SOUNDSTAGE PERFORMANCES. It has a poetic intro worth noting.
I sang this song while dancing down the hallways in elementary school back in the 1970s. I still do it in the store whenever they play the song or if it's in my head. I am weird and unique. Even in my old age. 🤣
This song and the movie Lost Boys goes hand in hand for me as a child of the 80's.
Me Too! I was just thinking of that movie. I was a teen back then.
I was thinking the same thing!
The song in the movie was a cover though
@@nanner3200 true, but in my mind they will always be connected.
@@nanner3200 covered by 'Echo And The Bunnymen' if I remember correctly.
Your next Doors song really should be "LA Woman". Such a terrific song. That being said they have so many you can react to. Do not skip "Love Me Two Times" or "Love Her Madly". A personal favorite of mine by them is "Gloria". Always go crazy when I hear that song.
The Doors and especially Jim Morrison was a really strange dude. Super talented and incredibly unique and original unfortunately also very troubled.
Jim Morrison was a fanatical perfectionist in the Doors music. It usually took many takes of a song before he would approve it. I knew some session musicians who made a lot of money working in one of the Doors sessions.
Yes, great song, Sounds right out of a carnival in the Twilight Zone! For all encompassing musical trips, try their epics, When the Music's Over and The End, do the video for sure for The End to get that Vietnam era vibe. The Doors are a trip, they were part of many trips in the old days... Enjoy! 🎸
Every Doors song makes me wanna dance, because the keyboard player is just the truth
The Doors are truly a legendary rock band who are still selling albums even now. You might also want to check out: "Light my Fire", "Touch Me" and "Spanish Caravan". Unbelievably good music!
The Doors/Jim Morrison are Legends. Just finished reading: No One Here Gets Out Alive, it's amazing book on Morrison's life.
This song was in "The Lost Boys" great song, great movie
So much great music from this band - Crystal Ship was my favorite
Riders on the Storm is the ultimate driving song. The Doors were crazy talented.
On one of my trips to Paris I visited Père Lachaise Cemetery, where Morrison is buried just down the way from Oscar Wilde. Interestingly, Morrison's is hidden behind a tree, yet there is still stuff fans leave on it. They've also carved Doors lyrics into the bark of the tree. It's one of the more modest graves in the yard.
You’ve grasped the circus concept accurately. The Doors have been described as a midnight circus in the graveyard. In a very good way of course. They have a dark side to be sure.
it was probably a southern comfort bottle .. janis loved her southern comfort
"Riders On The Storm" was my first introduction to the Doors. Brilliant track.
My school made us all sit in the hall on the last day of term to watch an overly long and dull war film. This must have been about 1974. At the end of the film, as everyone was finally allowed to leave, they played this song. For years I thought it was part of the soundtrack of that dreadful film. I was very glad to finally discover that it wasn't!
[BTW the film was "The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse" (1962) - a relationship heavy, dialogue driven film. Not what an 11 year old me was expecting from a war film].
The phyadiillic 60's. Plus he's Gorgeous!!!
The Doors were WAY ahead of their time. They were brilliant song writers.
In historical context, the Vietnam War was getting heavier and bloodier during the era of The Doors - this is from their second album, "Strange Days". Yes, strange days would soon come to those who heard The Doors' music.
Ray Manzarek's keyboarding really gave the band a unique sound quality. Robbie Krieger's quirky guitar matched perfectly, a truly unique band.
memories 1967 ,I was 17 ,junior high school best summer ever !!!!!!!
The movie "The Doors" with Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan is worth watching. Kilmer is outstanding as Morrison.
Jim Morrison was depressed. He went to Guitarist Robby Krieger's house, they went to a canyon to watch a sunset, at which time Jim realized he was depressed because "if you're strange, people are strange." He then wrote the rest of the lyrics, which are about feeling alienated.
"Riders on the Storm" is a real vibe. Creepy, spooky, haunting but way cool! I'm pretty sure you will love it.
It's the whispering Morrison does in the background. Not sure who thought that up, but definitely made it creepy!
I can say back in the day "strange", in this context was usually understood to mean tripping. And in the case of this song, it means a "bad trip"...so not literally strange. Still a great song! And yes a great Halloween tune!!
My favorite Doors song is "Crystal Ship". "Light my Fire" is always great too.
I was Strange (L.S.D.) through out the 70's too..!!! : ) Listen to the song when your Strange and you hear the Hidden Messages..!!!! lol : }
"Roadhouse Blues" is a Doors must listen. So many great tunes and diversity in their music.
Always remember this song from the movie: The Lost boys....fantastic movie!
The Doors were one of the very few bands that truly explored the darker segments of 60s pop culture. "People Are Strange" dipped into that, but it didn't really explore that part of it like "The End", "When The Music's Over", "Not To Touch The Earth", "Peace Frog" and others did. This band is definitely worth a deep dive.
The 'circusy' music was courtesy of Ray Manzarek, that was his contribution, the spookiness of the sound at those moments.
"Light My Fire!" Holy Cow, you have to do "Light My Fire!"
I love Jim Morrison because he was a bit strange! This song was on the soundtrack of one of favorite eighties movies, The Lost Boys! Jim (died 07/71), Janis Joplin (died 10/70), and Jimi Hendrix (died 09/70). They. all died at 27 years old and all died within the same 12 month span. RIP Legends!
The first time I ever heard of The Doors was this song on The lost Boys. I forgot about it for years until my freshman year in high school. My French teacher was a big Jim Morrison fan and had visited his grave in Paris many times and had pictures of it on his desk. Unfortunately "fans" show their love through vandalism and the statue of his head has been defaced so many times it's hard to tell there was a head there once.
Jim Morrison attended high school ( occasionally ) in my area. One of his teachers was asked why he got an A in his class.
It was because he was the finest poet he had ever read.
Song was used in the film The Lost Boys which was quite apt for that film.
Listening this time I could REALLY hear "bury a friend." Then I went, "Oh yeah. I've read about that."
Everyone below has made GREAT suggestions, I can only agree with them. THE DOORS ROCK
😃
The reason his lyrics are so different is because he wasn't a musician ,he was a poet who became a musician.
The WASP is an amazing song
SOONER NATION FOREVER!
What I see here when you react is that you mostly respond to the tune/vocal sound/and musical arrangement. While those elements are used in heavy effect here they are meant to augment the meaning of the words. Yes, it's easy to get caught up in the sound of a band, but here the sound is meant to point to the lyrics in a more profound way.
