![4BANG - NOT LIKE US (REMIX) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HO22cYkha1s/mqdefault.jpg)
I saw Jim Morrison and The Doors on August 1968 at The Allan Theater in Cleveland,Ohio. It was the summer of my 16th birthday. I have never forgotten how exciting he was on stage. May he rest in poetic peace.
You're so lucky!
U r so lucky...
Not too many people get to witness history as it happens.
You are old! lol
@@dingosmith9932 Oh Dingo, you big crazy. You crazy Dingo you.
Saw the doors in 69 - they were great. Jim performed all night until 5 am . There were only about 50 people left in the audience.
I envy you!
I also envy you WHAT AN EXPERIENCE
Awesome. I was 3 years old and in Germany. But....great that you got the luck to enjoy The Doors live
It must be a little haunting? You saw the doors...
So you're over 70?
The voice, the looks, the body. Dude had the trifecta. RIP Jimmy 💕💕
The body? LOL
You forgot the most important piece his charisma and intelligence
glad you included the picture of his statue. it wasn't there when i went to visit the grave july 26 2023. rip jim.
It was sadly stolen in 88
Crazy
The thing most people miss about Jim Morrison was that he was a brilliant writer. His poetry and lyrics are genius level. He was extremely talented as a writer.
It is not so much that he was a writer or a poet, but his messages. He was constantly sending messages through his work.
If he wasn't a good looking guy no one would care about him....or remember him.
Is that not why he is known as the American Poet?
what ppl don miss is his super embracive personality when he drinks my brother was like that the most annoying shit to be around janet joplin told jim stories that reminded me of my brother
Robbie was a better Lyricist, he wrote light my fire and Touch me 2 of their 3 most successful songs as well as the music. Jim added some interesting poetry into song lyrics but that's about as far as it went, he was never taken seriously in poetry circles
Crazy how Morrison, Jimmi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Alan Wilson and Brian Jones all passed away within two years of each other and all at the exact same age. They were arguably the most talented artists of the hippie counterculture era.
Then, 1980, Bon Scott, John Bonham, and John Lennon all died.
Bon and Bonzo died the same way. Lennon's murderer had it planned 3 months ahead and his wife knew and told no one. I think that angers me the most.
very strange isn't it then we have Amy Winehouse ffs 🙏
And all at the age of 27
Sid Vicious 21, Although he was a shite musician
Pigpen from grateful dead as well , 27
l'm a hard-core 90s guy but l absolutely love the doors. Every now and then l'd hear a song and feel how the depth and darkness of his voice like, it wanders the outskirts of the galaxy, timeless, unreachable, immortal, on a league apart from anything else
Thank you for this. I had a huge crush on a deadman in the 80's 90's! Weird but man I loved him. His music spoke to me with such deep sincerity. RIP.
Me too.. I was just a kid . And got introduced to the doors and fell head first..mind body soul.. it's like he is connected to me somehow
Ha I had the same crush on the same things in the 90's
Was in Paris three years ago. My tour guide said our hotel was only a thirty minute walk to his gravesite. I didn’t go, and I’ve regretted it everyday since.
I get why people visit his gravesite, but, unless I 100% knew he was there, I wouldn't ever go. After all the documentaries I have watched and all the things people closest to him have said, I just am one of the ones who absolutely believe, that he faked his death and is very much alive. I remember thinking that it is an awfully short grave for his stature and then I seen his band members on a documentary and they said the same thing. Everything about Jim's supposed death, just will NEVER ADD UP or make sense, especially WHY absolutely no one got any proof of Jim being deceased and you would think his family would certainly want that proof and no one bothered...never exhumed the casket. Who in their right mind would NOT WANT ABSOLUTE PROOF?

As a kid growing up in the eighties, I had became so intrigued by Mr. Jim Morrison. He was the total package : Sexy, Smart, So badass, So free-spirited, and so laidback. I wish that he was around today to see my generation (GENERATION X) and this one how his legacy continues to shine.
@@beautifulkindness5840 Awww, you’re so sweet, thank you! ❤️
@@beautifulkindness5840 she said she grew up in the 80s. thats gen x. i was born in 76 and no way am i a millennial. they were calling us gen x when i was a teen in the early 90s. your actually what they called gen y (why). but its unofficial, just like the gen before me was called the MTV generation, before them it was the pepsi generation
THE GENERATION X MOTIF SEEMS TO BE:WE MUST BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, WHICH IS A TOOL TO BOLSTER THEIR EGO & CONTROL OTHERS.
@@beautifulkindness5840 gen x told the world will end. Nihilist and existential. But directed into possibilities despite cynicism. They react against boomers and before who 'self realise', kind of everyone mist be devalued instead.
Millenials told theyll live forever with no focus or grounding. They can be 'anything' yet instead there are no stable jobs or affordable houses when they graduate. Optimism beyond a cause. Postmodern. Dont believe even cynicism is authentic- they react against gen x that way. Paralised but possibilities without direction and little job prospect. Infinite possibilities but think its lame to be alive, to not be a consumer. Addicted to new media.
Gen z: adapted to new media. Overconfident without substance. Lack knowledge of arts, more familiar with memes. Indentity politics. Simplified worldview yet not offended.
@@beautifulkindness5840 Yes she is, she said she was growing up in the 80's , i was a kid growing up in the 80's, and i am GENX, i was born in 1966 I love genex
One of my earliest memories is of my little brother and I, sitting in the back seat of the car, singing along to Light My Fire. I guess you could say I’ve always been a Doors fan!
Vomiting blood is from alcohol. My paternal grandfather, my father, and my oldest brother (he was vomiting blood), all died from Cirrhosis. And one of my nephews (my oldest brother's son), is well on his way to the same demise. It's a devastating drug to the drinker, the drinker's family, and the drinkers' friends, and if they don't want help for themselves, then this is the outcome. So sad.
Sorry to hear of your family's difficulties.
Jim Morrrison was an excellent lyricist with a golden voice, but I would have been extremely leery of being near him. Slapping women? Staggeringly drunk? There is no happy or attractive side to alcoholism . It is a dangerous thing all around.
So sorry to hear this, it is sad and it definitely runs in the family! My grandfather died of Cirrhosis also. He was always nice/ mean and abusive. Drank more after his son died from a car crash. I was sexually abused by him at 4 yrs if not before. So him passing was a blessing for me and others in a way. I come to realize that he hated himself and him (excuse me for putting these two in comparison to another) like Jim Morrison was highly intelligent, high functioning though not intellectual. My Dad, brother and I have all had problems with alcohol and could very easily went down that road. Fear of not properly taking care of my children is the only thing that saved me before I even took it home. Most aren't that lucky. It's a bad medicine!
I believe it was the heroin that killed him that night, mixed with him drinking all night, stopped his heart. Why he decided to snort heroin, nobody will ever know. He was at that bar to buy Pam some heroin.
I used to drink myself into a stupor often when I was young. Glad I cleaned myself up. Alcohol is toxic.
Revisiting this episode for the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison’s death. Rest In Peace forever to the Lizard King!
Wonder if there's any truth behind the "lizard king" story...lol
@@donspringstead1649 his demon.
If he ever died! He was a part of an operation and was not a song writer or musician.
@@JaneDoe-sz3jp ya know...I've thought about that many times myself.its all very suspicious ...
@@donspringstead1649 yes all the musicians of that day went to a small institute in California that was supposedly a gov operation. Remember his dad was military brass in navy. If you look at alot of the others of that time the fathers were also military
Jim Morrison in my opinion is one of the truest artists I’ve ever listen to and The Doors are forever one of my favorite bands of all time
Mine too
same opinion pal
😎
Bunch of junkies.
@@chickenlover657 Hello. Ivana
you have such a profound impact on Jim Morrison's career with your comment, love and support. A thank you text would fail to express our gratitude to you, we love you.Jim Morrison would want you to write him a personally thank you note, My name is Jacqueline and I happens to be his personal communication manager.
I'm in my 40's so I never really listened to The Doors. Until the movie came out. After watching that, I started listening to and watching everything they did. Live, studio, interviews, anything. I just felt that I had so much in common with Jim. And the music these guys made was just beyond mesmerizing
I am 47 and like you I seen the movie and after that I collected whatever I could about Morrison and The Doors. Books, tapes, and CDs. Which was tough because the internet didn't really exist back then.
I also became fond of the Doors' music when I saw the movie... I was 15 years old. From there I collected everything about The Doors and Jim, and once I did I have to say that Morrison was someone infinitely more interesting and great than what Oliver Stone shows in the movie. Val Kilmer plays an extraordinary role but Jim is not represented adequately, there are too many fabrications and half-truths in the film... It only shows the Jim Morrison kamikaze drunk and drug addicted all the time, those who knew him intimately have a very different image. It's obvious that Jim was self-destructive but he was also a truly brilliant, generous scholar... That part of his personality doesn't appear in the movie because it doesn't sell, but that was also the truth.
Jim's personal life was a disaster but as an artist he was a legend.
I wouldve given anything to have seen the Doors live
I did..1st time I was 20..2nd time I was 22!
The closest I came was with the three living remaining members going by the name Riders on the Storm playing a local concert my town used to have. Was a couple years before Ray passed away. Wasn't Jim, but was nice to see them playing their music. Before my time. My Dad was a huge fan & went with me. He had never seen them.
Hes the leading leading man. What has he not got ? Looks. Brains. IQ. Charisma. Lyrics. Voice. Stage presence. Sense of humor. Dark side. Morrison is forever THE Man.
No! He had nothing! Certainly NOT a man! Do you even know what a real man is? A man has honor & integrity & holds his head up high & works hard & does not treat women like objects & curse people & pull his privates out & wave it in a crowd. A man works all day & helps with dinner & marries the woman he loves before trying to have sex with her & cares about others & doing good & helping feed hungry children & gets the junkies off the streets & doesn’t do drugs but hates them because he has seen what they do to a persons body & mind. It is sad but Jim Morrison was NOT an idol to be worshipped. He truly was a man who turned his back on his Mother & Father who raised him & paid for his schooling & he didnt care about his lil sister who loved him either. He didnt care about his band mates nor his fans. He didnt try to help the less fortunate with the money he had, instead he blew it on drugs & in the end, he died in a foreign land, bloated & out of his mind, naked & covered with his own vomit on his face. That my friend, is NOT the measure of a MAN! Not at all. That wasn’t even the least bit cool. It was & still is pathetic.
one thing he doesn't have is virtue.
@@d.b.4201 he was what we call nowadays a sad train wreck. his dad may have laid the tracks he was trapped on. not to be envied or emulated but rather to be pitied and prayed for.
Remember that you young fools. do not live his example. you have NO IDEA HOW MANY YOUNG FOOLS MET A SAD DEMISE BY HIS EXAMPLE. ⏳⬆
@@bonanonymouscrickett5231 ty
@@d.b.4201 His music really sucked plus they forgot to mention the biggest problem with him was he worshiped Satan...
A poet trapped inside a rock star. Sadly, the music wasn't what he wanted, and obviously didn't make him happy.
He did love music, he wanted to be a poet more than a musician though but he saw the only way people would listen would be if the music was there to back his poetry and it worked out good. Sadly not for Jim he had to sacrifice a lot
Reminds me of Morrissey
He desperately wanted to be a poet. I think he was.
He loved music. He knew he went a little too far as a rock star. He also didn't want to become what Bono became..the poetic soul singing guy also hanging out with presidents and business titans (basically living a double life - the art and soul of what is good in music or poetry has nothing at all to do with a Bill Gates or a W Bush)
@@shepherdoffire9263 I wonder what type of sacrifices.
I also saw Jim Morrison in NY he was spectacular. I will forever remember the Great show he put on for hundreds of thousands of fans. SPECTACULAR!!!!!
The "Light My Fire" performance on the Ed Sullivan show ... ELECTRIC!!
I wasn’t even born when he passed. Nice to see how many people got to see him.
I never died!
@@beautruex7012 but I visited your grave at Père-Lachaise.
Same. I wasnt born until 1972. My mom had a huge crush on Jim Morrison.
@@leighannferguson8343 i live in LA and got to see some spots where he hung out before he moved to Paris.
Most people weren't lol
I hope you have found real peace and real love, Jimmy. There is more people who understood your pain and struggles than those who just saw an alcoholic and everything else they called you. You will never be forgotten, Jimmy.
Thanks 🙏
The alcohol didn't help him make friends.
Sadly he’s burning in hell they way I see it tbh.
but he was an alcoholic
@@morrisonreed1So? So was my sister and she was the greatest person I’ve ever known. He struggled as many of us do.
I was lucky to have seen the Doors live and in concert, at the University of Michigan, in Oct.,1967,at the Intramural bldg. It was the greatest concert in the world, right there, in front of a handful of people...just 15 feet away. After the band left, we were so mesmerized that we "woke up ",literally, 20 minutes later. That was a concert! Wow.
speaking to some fellow who had the good fortune to see a doors gig 1968 uk on enquiring he said it was real good performance
How beautiful to know that people he met are still very much alive and among us. I wish i were born back then to witness it as well. What a great mystery 🙏💜🙏Thanks for sharing
The only essay I ever enjoyed writing in high school was on the life and death of Jim Morrison. It was an essay and powerpoint presentation. My teacher gave me a perfect score on both.
CONGRATS TO YOU AND FOR CHOOSING SUCH A AWESOME TOPIC!!!!
Love this comment. Really made me smile.
@@ronniebishop2496 I did! 😂 My teacher was really cool, as long as it was factual, she didnt mind. Same teacher had us write an essay on our opinions of the death penalty...
Wish my daughter would commit to something like that. I'm always trying to encourage her because she's an amazing writer with a really mature mind and loves things you wouldn't ever consider... her creative writing is fantasticly done. Page turner stuff. She is so shy though, very self critical and low self esteem. I keep on encouraging, always tell her, her best is her best and I'm happy as long as she is and I can only do my best for her. No shame. We are all our own worst fear. . . *Goes off and has existential crisis number 84
Everyone gets perfect scores in special ed.
One of the Greatest American Rock band of all time: Morrison is Dangerous, witty, and unpredictable.
I agree. They're one of my favorite rock n roll bands of all time.
Unforgettable! ✌
He couldn't sing lol 😆
Mr Gonzales he was a great blues singer mate
@@dasmuss6174 not in my opinion
The dark erotic beauty of his lyrics has never been equaled. He was indeed a consummate poet who walked the knife edge between genius and madness. I still miss him.
The "erotic demonic" is much more accurate..
Well said, Jeanette, well said. "Let's swim to the moon. Let's climb through the tide. You reach a hand to hold me, but I can't be guide..." from Moonlight Drive" by the Doors. Be blessed.
bwaaa haaa haaa jeanette
@@ladylyrichere9373 Thank you!
@@Gweidemann not well said at all; she got the saying from Rolling Stone Magazine!
There are quite a lot of people who knew Morrison that do NOT believe he is as dark as they make him out to be in videos like this.
Yet clearly his life was dark and disturbed, otherwise it wouldn’t have ended at the tender age of 27. I think it’s also fair to say that people don’t abuse alcohol for the hell of it, they’re usually running from something. Guilt. Memories. Trauma. But something. Regarding this documentary-it is focused on the last 24 hrs of his life, so I think the tone is appropriate and not overly exaggerated.
I feel like I need to meet him.
If you were there AT THAT TIME, he did project through his music a dark vibe, tone threaded through it. However the later 60s got darker musically as the anti War movement and the Civil Rights struggles got more serious. You could hear many rock or popular artists at that time put messaging in their music...cuz a lot was going on. Psychedelia was also going on as well. His music came across unique and often felt dark...but we liked him for being different and he reflected the times.
@@RedPatriotRisehis life was not dark. Did you not listen to the video? He was essentially a kid revolting against his parents because at a young age he was traumatized and realized the world is not the safe place your parents try and convince you it his, Jim was raised in the cold war atomic families who kids had extremely strict lives and he revealed against this mind set at a young age essentially making him a punk before punk was a thing. He had a disagreement with his father and mother about career options and obviously held a huge gruge against them because they did not support or give him money when he was a dead beat, keeping the grudge so long that when his parents went to see him live in show and support him owning up to their mistakes he sang on stage "mother I want to f**K you and father I want to kill you" while staring directly at them showing what a troubled, delusional and entitled person he was... Jim was dark because he had serious mental issues, these mental issues were caused by being traatized and believing two native american ghosts he called Indians had entered his body... The guy was not mentally stable at all my bruh this is why his often ridiculed as a poet he was mentally not well and his writing showed this. He sung about Vietnam and how bad it was not for political reasons, not because he cared about people but simply to rebel against his father, he did not give a crap about the war he only cared about pissing off his father who was highly involved in the war... People don't seem to understand that Jim Morrison as always been painted as a dark brooding individual because he was lol. He estranged HIMSELF from his family then asked for help for is musical endeavor from his parents in the form of money they refused because he estranged himself but still had the ignorance to ask for money, you are estranged m8 they have zero need to support you then he still holds the grudge, his parents literally showed him tuf love he powered through and made himself a man, showed how determined he was most people would be proud of themselves but he still kept the grudge why lol he is successful... He won at the end but still keeps the grudge... This is the text book example of a highly entitled individual who thinks the world ows him something that his parents and loved ones are supposed to support him even in his alcohol induced periods of chaos... Not how the world works, Jim Morrison was not a dark brooding artist he was a entitled brat with good looks a person used to getting everything he wanted a spoiled single child.... But people refuse to see this and choose to see a dark tortured rebel... The guy was an entitled brat
I saw Janis Joplin’s last 24 hours right before this one. This one was just truely bone chilling to my core. His final 24 hours was filled with so much darkness and mystery especially towards the end. The sad thing is that he could’ve probably either still been with us today or would’ve at least lived longer if he’d gone to get medical attention earlier instead of continuing to party til the end. Jim Morrison was such a dark, mystical, powerful, and beautiful voice of his generation and I personally consider the doors to be a timeless band but Jim was a poet to his core. I feel like that’s why the “rock star” life and image didn’t agree with him well at all. Sadly the spotlight slowly poisoned this man and all we have left now are the memories and the recordings of his voice. Truely beautiful and haunting…. ✌️🤟🤘
&
this guy would have been doing disco music by 76
@@mikeodonnell6799 I honestly think so too. Especially if you listen to old interviews with him explaining what he thought the “future” music industry was gonna turn into. He basically predicted that music like (disco, electro/pop and techno music) was gonna be the music that future generations would listen to and dance to. And that prediction of the disco dance/electronica/techno music wave actually started only a few years after he died. So I definitely would agree that Jim and possibly The Doors “if they’d continued together” would’ve definitely taken part of that trend once it started. The man called it and he was truely ahead of his time👍
We have his songs and poetry.
I just saw on "Auction King" on air TV, Jim Morrison's THE POEM was sold for $2,000.00 THE couple who bought it grabbed her man and kissed him for buying it! She said she did not care they paid so much, IT was like buying a Rembrant she said! Ibguess he joined the 27 year Olds who die that age?
He’s fine as wine! The Lost Boys was one of my favorite movies of the 80s! I saw his poster in that movie and googled him and found his name and now I’m here! God Bless you Jim Morrison!

Funny you found it this way. Seen the movie too✌
There was no Internet in the 80s
Lost boys is one of my favorites too!! People are strange, when you’re a stranger 🎶
Jose L that’s what I was thinking 😂
The Doors do not get the credit they deserve. They said something and were something nobody can duplicate....original.
They get quite of bit of credit.
Who doesn’t give them credit?
Jim Morrison was the best of his time. Better than the Beatles and better than Mick Jagger. He was number one in talent looks and poetry. It's a real shame his life ended so young and what the news media put him through just because he used foul language and took his shirt off. What the rappers say in their songs today it shamefully and they should be arrested for threating the authority
(Police)
Rest in peace Jim Morrison. And thank you for entertaining us all in the sixties and seventies. God Bless you
They do give them credit, but it’s always like they were a “flash in the pan”; a shooting star that could never last. It didn’t have to be that way!
Went to Paris as a family and went to the cemetery he is in and it was amazing!
He actually did speak to his father, a little bit, after the Doors first album came out. This is according to interviews with both his father and his sister. His father never publicly indicated any desire for him to join the Navy. He mentioned his parents briefly in a couple of later interviews, 1970 and ‘71. In one he’s asked how his parents might react if confronted about their son being the counterculture icon; he chuckled saying, “I don’t think they’d cop to it”. It’s known now that his mother had alcohol problems. They didn’t have rehab programs in those days.
Jim Morrison was and remained close to his siblings. They stayed with him on occasion. There are pictures of Jim, Pam, Jim’s sister Anne and Anne’s baby.
Jim Morrison was a true genius. He was the first to combine poetry with music. He was truly a gifted Poet and years ahead of his time! There will never be another one like him! Rest in Power beautiful brilliant soul. The Doors legend lives on. ❤️
The right person born in the wrong time
@soniagordon2799 not really.
Then that's excluding that Bob Dylan was regarded as a poet, if you think Morrison was the first. I'm sure there was plenty of 'poetic' writers well before he put pen to paper. Even Zappa could be seen as a sort of poet
he was not the first to combine poetry with music
@@evangelinazubia9595I agree..it almost sounds silly
50 years ago and still his music is valid for these times
So true! Im 15 have been a big fan of the doors for a year now
"Valid?" If they didn't seek out their Creator to meet and know Him, they will have failed at the highest purpose in life. Sure, Jesus has wanted for us --- a good and happy life, but our Creator also has wanted for us to meet and know HIM, as well. Don't fail to seek Him and get to know Him.
Jesus said: "You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." ... Most people don't even think about God. It's the most important thing in life!
@@susiearviso3032He was going to doJim Morrison not Pat Boone.
50 years ago today, and Jim still looks so young...
27 years ago at the time , so yeah. Obviously
The State of New York actually just recently pardoned his felony case. Of course many years later. The fact they still think about it is great and proves his music and poetry still exists.
I believe that arrest pushed him closer to his death.
@@santaclause6825 honestly I don't think he gave a damn. Only because he knew doing that would result in. But we'll never know.
You are the company you keep. . . Though you may be wise, foolish friends will eventually destroy you. Though you may be foolish, wise friends will show and teach you success. This is an easy way to prosper.

Jim Morrison was the ultimate poet he just expressed it in his music
Pere Lachaise Cemetery has over 1,000,000 graves in it. Jim Morrison's is the most visited.
I went looking for his grave specifically not knowing that Chopin and Oscar Wild were buried there.
@@sifugurusensei Also Edith Piaf, and a bunch of others.
I'd love to know your source for that. Fascinating.
well no shit
holy shit. that's over 1,000,000 people that died.
The casting in this series is spot on!
I was friends with Lonnie Mack, a fantastic musician in his own right and at one time an A&R man for Electra records. He hung out with Jim occasionally and was convinced that Jim was self destructive. He'd get wasted drunk and start street fights with people who he knew were dangerous and would probably beat him up badly. Lonnie was a big rough country boy from Indiana and Jim assumed that Mack would have his back, which he did several times until it got old. Lonnie said Jim was hell bent to destroy himself with substances or with violence so he stopped going out with him but remained his friend til he got sick of California altogether and moved back to Indiana
Reminds me of Proverbs 23:29-35.
Sad
I think all of the attention, drugs, finally came to fruition for Jim. His father didn't understand him. When he never was around it really affected him. People will finally just give into what they want. He was very intelligent. Handsome. He had a very adaptive voice. Started at home. He was shy. But he did have a unique voice. Love the first album Light my Fire, Break On, Hello, I love you. Second Album Love Street, Touch me. I really loved LA Woman. Riders on the Storm. Jim Morrison changed the face of rock n roll. Just a sad story.
What a shame people like him and Janice and Jimi Hendrix they were so talented and yet they had so many problems and addictions. Jim Morrison‘s voice was amazing!
They were all murdered had nothing to do with their addictions.
@@subzero308 ok sub zero
Those were wild times, no joke. I am a native San Franciscan, graduated from high school at the beginning of the Summer of Love - 1967. The "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" was a true statement. Doing drugs, at least smoking weed was a rite of passage for our generation. Jim had his own demons. His girlfriend is partly to blame for his death, dont you think?
It's just so sad he is dead and lost his life at such a young age.
27 is the magic #
A lot of people die young and his was self inflicted.What about all the young babies and children and people with diseases???Now that is sad.
Poor sad man. He was opressed and possessed by the darkness he allowed into his life. Very heartbreaking.
ALL THESE ROCK STARS HAD MILITARY (HIGH RANKING ELITE) PARENTS/CONNECTIONS.
Incredibly well made! Not only is the story told really well, the atmosphere is caught fantastically, beautifully filmed (great locations and backgrounds) and also it is incredible that they managed to get all the original people to talk about how it all was and how it all went in the day.. I am totally impressed by this series.
thanks, harrick
One thing that's very misleading, yet they do it on every Doors Biopic...the bathtub scene! There's a video circulating on TH-cam that has this guy visiting all the places important to the last days of Jim. He even goes to the Paris flat Jim called home those last few weeks. It IS NOT like they always show it on these programs. For one thing: it's very cramped, not spacious at all. But most importantly, the bathtub is a regular, plain old tub you'd see in anyone's house. It is not a stand-alone big ornate tub with plenty of room to stretch out in. Just a regular old tub. Was actually shocked when I saw the real deal, especially after having a visual of it all these years after watching the Oliver Stone/Val Kilmer movie! But I guess it comes across as much more romantic the way they design the set! Very irritating once you see the actual tub where he passed!
He was so beautiful my gosh. I feel cheated that he died before I was born. Right before I was born. I was born October 4th 71
🙄...How silly of you deary... he consumed himself with demonic entities. Now demonic entities are consuming him for eternity.
@@Moonflower_Katnis i love your name. Im a gigi to my grandson. And you are definitely entitled to your opinion and I respect that.
Well that’s not completely accurate. Ummm, here’s the deal. He passed away about a week ago. You see, he faked his death back in ‘71. He had a very colorful fifty years as someone you might have seen and you can research this, but it’s true. He played the role of Rush Limbaugh.
The Lizard King got his fill of duping delights.
@@scottkeeler2306 🙄...What psychedelic drugs from the 60's are you still on?
@@Moonflower_Katnis yeah. Don't bother to research this because you might not like what you discover. Just put on your mask and pretend it is keeping the killer covid away.
Morrison has always been fascinating. I have often wondered what it would be like to live in his shoes and then I realize how much life he has missed....
I don't think Jim was happy most of the time, there was a real darkness to him.
@@theodoreconstantini2548His parents sound like they were bastards and cold towards him. I don’t think Morrison was happy.
for me Jim was always a poet in first place.
I think Jim Morrison was a very interesting guy, he had that mystery about him. A real genius and a legend. His writings are truly amazing. It's sad he died too young because I think he could of done more amazing things if he lived.The Doors are a great band.
Thank you, well said. ♥
idk early in the doors career before they caught a break jim said he wanted to hit it big than fake his death.
JIM MORRISON
TALENT TALENT TALENT
LEGEND OF ALL TIME.....PERIOD if you lived during the sixty and seventys it was pretty awesome to experience all of those Great Rock bands and all of that talent. I've lived it and heard and seen all of those legends. And Jim Morrison is a legend of all time
Brian Cannon is that true?, if so that’s interesting 🤔
well he was a straight A student.
I appreciate these
*last 24* videos!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this content at no cost. Your videos are 100% legit, and 10× better than pay docs. New subscriber for life!
Right?! Phenomenal docs
I love his rich, raspy, deep voice. I prefer "The Doors" way more than "The Beetles". Jim's voice was like a shot of good whiskey! He WAS eye candy. Jim moves like Mick Jagger or vice versa. Creative people struggle a lot with dark emotions. Jim was feeling his impending demise coming hence the restlessness.
It's Beatles.
Doors are awesome, but The Beatles are The Beatles.
@@thinkforyourself828 you cannot compare them. They are si different like night and day.
The reenactment actor in this short is so good! He just completely channeled Morrison. Well done!
The Doors 🚪 open and close, over and over again ❤️ R.I.P Jim 😔
The mystery of Jim Mirrison will never fade, he was a beautiful soul and a wordsmith and poet, even now after 50 years he still leaves an everlasting presence that will never be forgotton
CLASSIC. DOORS.
He had such an iconic voice. I don’t think he realized it. He gave the impression he couldn’t find what he was looking for. He was so young but he couldn’t wait to find himself.
I visited his grave everytime I come to Paris. Always a lot of flowers from fans. Sad that many times people ( I think the locals) stole his head statue. He was buried in a cimetery with many other famous in the world like Chopin, Micheal Angelo, Jeanne d'Arc.....He was not only talented, but also very Smart and highly educated.
He was the best voice back then. In every way.
The definition of original as far as the music goes, the song "the end" haunting and beautifully haunting
Started listening to them at age 15 now 30yrs later still my favourite band 💙
Sorry😢
His lesser known songs like the Crystal Ship still stand up today as great work, he had such a strong original voice and, of course, presence
That song is a masterpiece
That's not one of his lesser known songs. It was the B side to Light My Fire after all.
@@ThisBirdHasFlown Didn't know that, I was 7 years old when it was released as a b side to a single
Lesser known songs?
That's honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever read when relating to The Doors. It's actually one of their most known!
LOL.
@@elhombremysterious8296 depends on your age group - not so dumb at all
Lets get this straight. His best friend and girlfriend spend the last 24 hours with him. Now he is coughing up blood, he collapses 2 or 3 times, he vomites after eating, and she wakes him up because he is not breathing. Ok now note to best friend and girlfriend. If i have those symptems CALL THE AMBULACE OR GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL you stupid people.
He denied to see a doctor, that's why they didnt call him, but of course they should have anyway.
Yeah could have been prevented had he been taken to a hospital or had any of those with him been caring and concerned enough about him to call an ambulance or physically take him to hospital ... As argumentative or as refusing as he was... So very sad for so many of the greats in the 27 😔 as well as many other famous artists who's deaths could have been prevented had those who genuinely loved them kept them safe .. 😔
Correct.. but that's not how it went down. Jim overdosed on heroin in the toilets at the Rock n Roll Circus. His friends found him there and carried him out of the side entrance and took him back to the house. He may have died before they even got him home. They put him in a cold bath to try and revive him and when that didn't work and they realised he was dead they got rid of all the evidence of heroin and made up a story that Pam then delivered to the Police. They were protecting themselves from prosecution as the suppliers of the drugs. Makes more sense now, doesn't it.
The doors are timeless, can’t imagine what kind of music we missed out on
Exactly.
Not really timeless since Doors music has such 60s vibe. But definetly great and never will be forgotten.
I love Jim Morrison because of his dark mystical poems and so were his songs!Fantastic and timeless!
The lizard king….. Jim’s voice is haunting. He is a true poet!
Is impressive to see that many people still follow his music. ( young people)
Jim simply wrote the best poetry ever.
Oh, stop. 🛑
Oh bullshit. 🐂 💩
Bob Dylan exist you know, and so do a lot of other people.
thats literally not true
@@baudelaire2169 it's their damn opinion let them have it
I was so obsessed with Jim Morrison as a young kid in the 80’s. I really thought it was unfair that he died 9 yrs before I was born. He was gorgeous.
I don't know why, but Jim, the Doors and their beautiful music still put a spell on me! ❤
Facts: you play any doors song at a bar drunk people will stay.
For certain, same here!
Laughed my ass of watching the actor portraying Morrison and the way he walks! 😂😂
What's really funny is that's allegedly the way the real Morrison actually walked.
Same here, he should have to portraying more than that wallk, all the rest he did is bad.
I mean shitfaced that might be how he walked
Watch Jim's 1969 "HWY" movie. This actor walks exactly like Jim in the film, who was obviously overacting.
I got the Doors Greatest Hits on dvd. I moved to Upstate New York in the mid 1980’s and those songs kept me grounded while living there for 4 years. Then it was time for me to head back to my home in Southern California. I still love hearing those hits. I write poetry as well so I can understand why Jim Morrison had being a poet stick close to his heart. ❤️🌹✨💫💜
Its a real sad story. The life & times of Jim Morrison. He lived fast and died young. However we look at it he lived his life exactly as he wanted to. Its sad that he is no longer around. Also it would have been interesting to see how they or he would have evolved as the music changed through the years.
Thank you for the great music you left for us Jim.
Riders on the storm all time favourite piece of music ! Timeless.....
Jim made sure all band members had song writing credits on their music.
Well if he didnt that might be plagiaristic given they wrote many songs
@@jorgepeterbarton Well it didn’t work that way with many bands. Often the person who writes the lyrics gets all the credits and royalties.
Ray and Robbie wrote most of the music
@@steffanhoffmann8937 you mean Jim and Robby
@@shepherdoffire9263 No it was Ray Manzarek. Jim was the words and expressive voice.
“if the doors of perception were cleansed then everything would appear to man as it is; infinite”
RIP. Never Forgotten. Always go back too the doors. Beautiful music.
He was never born and never died, he passed through the world and left a heritage with a massive spiritual value. i like to think about him as a messenger that brought us this kind of borderline poetry that was both gloomy and cynical but also hopeful and freedomful.
What ...???? Backdoor man ..? 👌
He was an amazing poet
My 1st concert at 15 in Vancouver, BC in 1973! My GG and I went to listen at the Coliseum doors( no ticket)So many people ran the door with us there! Free 1st fantastic concert!
may I ask what was concert you're referring to?
I saw the Doors in 1968 at the Queen E Theater in Vancouver, BC. Best concert ever!
this is so sad he deserved to be recognized for his artistic talent it sucks the media was so shallow :(
People are strange when you´re a stranger
....
When you´re strange
Noone remembers your name
Sleep in peace dark poet
They really introduced that Pamela chick as “former groupie” 💀💀😭😭💀😭
even that as her description is inaccurate and farcical
she was just a fool
Robby dated her first. I won't speak ill of her but she got Jim into heroin.
@@StanSwan huh? No he didnt. This comment is also about pamela de barres not jims girlfriend pamela courson. John initially spoke to her but then jim and pam locked eyes and it was jim and pam from then on. It happened london fog sometime 1965
@@shepherdoffire9263 You mean Patricia? This is about Pamela, Jim met Pam in 65, she was dating Robby.
@@StanSwan she never dated robbie
Jim died of a heroin overdose. It is that sad and simple. People try to find complex answers to simple event that involve famous people. Jim got away with it for many years. He was only 27, at that age death is something very far away. Jim talked about how people his age would live well past 100 due to advances in science. He never had a death wish he just tried to get away with it one time too many.
It’s still a mystery. It was said that he always condemned heroin, and was never a junkie. It could have been the first time he tried it, he O.D.ed. He was likely drunk on top of that. We now know alcohol and opiates are a deadly combination.
@@Geezer-yf8hv It was said by who? Jim snorted heroin for many years. Pam said she shot him up the night he died. Danny lived with Pam for 3 years after Jim died and she died of guilt for shooting him up. These are facts and it was not the first time he tried it. I do not understand why people want to question this?
@@Geezer-yf8hv It is a face Pam shot him up that night and he snorted it
for years.
Every junkie tells everyone around them they don't do hard drugs. Fact. No one wants to be a junkie. . 🛑☢️🛑☢️🛑
@@brendak.44440 Jim Morrison is my favorite writer and front man ever but I have to live in reality. His life was tragically cut short and there is nothing to admire about why that was. Imagine if he was still with us today? His life was a cautionary example of what not to do.
I wasn't even born when he died, as a small child I loved rock music, the other day I heard his voice on a song by the doors, everything seemed strange in that song, I went and bought my first tape with the doors to listen to deepen Jim's lyrics and music, since then he has always stayed with me...
Jim Morrison had a profound presence in the way he mesmerized all those fans and followers of his music and the Doors. It was obvious he was fighting his own demons of his dark side. The more famous he became the more recluse he got. He never knew his own ego would cause such a paranoid schizophrenia that ended up killing him. To bad because he was so gifted and talented he never got the chance to enjoy it all. RIP Jim we miss you than k s for the music. 👍✌
Brilliant when I heard their fist album in 1980 I was fourteen years old the sheer brilliance of his lyrics especially on songs like twentieth century fox and break on through really blew me away different elements of jazz blues baroque circus music rock and roll and classical In my personal opinion quite possibly the most innovative bands if not the most recent innovative of the century
He lives on and on and we try to fathom it all out. I don't think so many of us will ever believe he actually died. All that can be said has already been said and we cannot bring that legend back. He would have been my own age now but unlike me, he will be remembered, researched to find clues a motive or some reason why? . I guess we all need closure for this man that so many of us wanted to be . So many of us loved him then, so many of us love him now. I sometimes wonder if Jim Morrison could ever rest in peace? Always searching as he did and as we still do for that lost soul who gave soo much voice for social change and a sense of justice for all. Love you man, always will.
I love how no one thought to bring em to the hospital?
Jim didn't want to see a doctor 🖤
You don’t understand co dependency. Addicts intentionally surround themselves with people who they know will not interfere with their addiction. Addicts are the most manipulating people alive.
@Happiness is not liveable Jim refused to see a doctor. 🖤
@@prevost8686 There horrible people and should be avoided like the plague!
@@michaelserby7697 He did see a doctor in Paris, shortly before his death. He had a horrible chronic cough and chest congestion.
He had the signs and symptoms of Esophageal varicies. He probably had a lot of bleeding internally and then his heart stopped.
How sad both he and Pamela died at 27 from heroin overdose. Unbelievable really. So very young and so much to live for. Tragic.
Pam lied about his death, inherited his money and continued to party until she died. If you're a romantic maybe it's sad.. reality is, she was a junkie who got Jim into heroin, covered up the truth behind his death and continued spending the money and doing the heroin until she too overdosed. In theory it's romantic, in reality it's a grubby, messy situation where people are mostly thinking about themselves.
Jim Morrison and the Doors are still one of my all time favorites but he chose his lifestyle and no excuses by others to that lifestyle will be accepted by me.
One comment at the start of this video, "he was crying out for help but nobody knew what to do" was absurd.
A more appropriate would be, "he was crying out for help but we all kept taking advantage of him"
The Jim Morrison fame and money were beneficial to all of those around him and they knew it to be.
Of course, Jim's unique style and song content but also the different sound that the Doors band had was a big seller to me. Play me five different bands of that era without letting me know which and the Doors would be instantly recognized.
Your so right. No one wanted the cash to stop flowing. Anyone of his band members, record label. Could have stepped in and helped him out. But to look the other way. And collect that $$ was more important to all involved. Today we have a name for it." Enabling " . ☢️☢️☢️
@@brendak.44440 Grifters comes to mind.

Omg I’m glad I found this channel I loooooooooooovvvvvvveeeeeeeee it
Grew up listening to them at a young age because of my grandparents! Love the doors music
Such a shame, Jim was severely misunderstood. What a beautiful man who despite success.... was a very lonely man who had the world at his feet. May you have peace and God bless.
@Gene Yuss i agree , jim the way i see it is in the lake of fire.
If they didn't seek out their Creator to meet and know Him, they will have failed at the highest purpose in life. Sure, Jesus has wanted for us --- a good and happy life, but our Creator also has wanted for us to meet and know HIM, as well. Don't fail to seek Him and get to know Him.
Jesus said: "You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." ... Most people don't even think about God. It's the most important thing in life.
Masculine and feminine all rolled into one, Wow! And a metaphysical poet, a mesmerising combination. But torment rolled in like a storm to accompany him, when he was young.
you just get the feeling that this is a very INACCURATE video.
I’m wondering too.
Nope!
How do u figure? Look into it even further most ways musicians died r very very odd and weird. Most of them were murdered if not all. Janis ODed on heroin and the Heroin was 50% pure?!?! Smh u don't just forget to cut heroin if ur a dealer. Especially since Janis was 6months sober before she shot up again. Apparently she shot up took the needle out walked down to the front desk got smokes walked back to her room and then died??? GTFOH if anyone shoot 50% pure heroin u ain't getting up and walkin u aren't living let alone removing the needle. Hendrix is another bullshit ass story about him ODing and choking on his own vomit. Hendrix had like 5 gallons of red wine in his stomach yet barely any in his blood stream. Hendrix was murdered so was Janis and Morrison.
@@subzero308 I believe the same as you honestly. When someone upsets the real power behind the curtain they just eliminate them. It’s shocking sick to even imagine but there truly are some evil forces behind the scenes. Anyone with any set of abilities to see through what the media says will come to the same conclusion it’s not too difficult. I may have just answered against the grain that day just to be a bugger.
This whole documentary is ridiculous, absolutely horse shit.
As a big Joy Division fan and a big fan of Ian Curtis, I would definitely say that Jim Morrison had a big impact on Ian and Ian loved The Doors music.
Yeah I can see Jim singing "transmission" for sure. Ian sounds alot like Jim in that song.
26 years old in this interview. Sounds like old soul calm and collect speaking truths. Words vibrations sounds frequency of a heart letting you know what he said, I am.. me. Accept me, it is enough for all in balance not a race of technology pretending to Hu man with no heart but bright lights in the eyes that create it. I miss people with these outlook and deep discovery and connections. The connectors.. a living of peace in balance.. can we get there. Thank you Jim for passionate heart ... Live on in song
