More Doors classics to add to your list - "LA Woman" (Billy Idol also did a KILLER cover), "Light My Fire", "Touch Me", "The End", and "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)".
I'm definitely a hit or miss on doors but I have always loved LA woman I'm going to look that up and see if you've done it no idea why I like that song and a few more and then the rest of the doors I can't get into. Respect them for sure
Amber, I love that you used the word carnival! Ray Manzarek's organ playing has (for many years) made me think of some dark, twisted carnival. The whole band is amazing, but Manzarek's keyboard with Jim's haunted voice gives the Doors a one-of-a-kind sound.
Such a great catalogue for such a short lived band. Love Me Two Times by the great Robbie Kreiger isn't mentioned here in the comments so I will mention it. I would say LA Woman should be next. RIP Jim and Ray. Iconic band of the California sound, in many ways the antithesis of The Beach Boys although both bands certainly had a dark side.
I love "The Doors" movie with Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan etc. you might want to add it to your movie channel - I think you'd like some of the music biopic types. Like "Love & Mercy" about Brian Wilson. So many great ones out there. :) Doors are great though, so many great songs. My fav. is probably "People are Strange"
@@Priasbcbeist Yes!! I actually started naming movies but my comment got too long. There are so many incredible ones, and others that are also really cheesy but still worth watching. :) That one has so much talent too!
YESSSSS on BOTH movies-- The Doors (I was the BIGGEST Val Kilmer fan in the 80s and 90s-- he was absolutely mesmerizing, and so should have at least been nominated for an Oscar, if not won,) and Almost Famous was one of a very few movies where, as I was coming out of the theater after seeing it the first time, I wanted to turn around and walk right back in and watch it again! It is an absolute remote-dropper-- I'll watch it any and every time it's on, no matter at what point in the movie it is when I find it! One of my all-time favorite movies EVER!!!
The remaining members of The Doors did NOT like the movie. They said it painted a picture of Jim Morrison that left out most of the good things about him. The movie is not accurate according to them.
I heartily agree! The only point of variance is in "most of their biggest hits." Leaving aside "best songs," which would be a totally subjective list, when you are talking about Robbie and the Door's commercial hits, I think that it's safe to drop the "most of."
This song was one of the highest charted song of the Doors. The organ, guitars and the drums in this song are amazing. And Jim's voice is so outstanding. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
“Touch Me” is one of my absolute favorites of theirs, please add it to the list (Amber, you’ll really like this one). Also, Ray Manzarek plays a mean keyboard, doesn’t he! I think I’ll go watch the movie now, I’m in a Doors kind of mood.
I like a lot of the Doors, but to be honest some of their songs sort of have a Las Vegas Lounge Music sound. Like "Touch Me" and others. That being said, there is an entirely different side that is completely psychedelic and some completely rocking and bluesy. They covered a lot of ground.
The most interesting thing about The Doors is that Morrison (and the band pretty much) died in 1971 but Morrison was on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1980 (9 years later!) and I read once that 1980 was their top album selling year - that is unheard of. I was in high school at the time and of the 2500 or so students at that school, I was known as the biggest Doors fan. A big part of the huge renewed interest in the band was the release of the book by Danny Sugarman "No One Here Gets Out Alive"...
part of the resurgence also due to apocolypse now... also mainstream rock in the early 80's sucked, this helped the doors also.... what % of people in your highschool liked them? ... i was in school back then & about 40% or so of people I knew who liked rock, delved back into the doors & zep strongly.
I read that book in 1980. It satisfied a curiosity I'd always had about Morrison. Also gave plausible explanations for his strange behavior, both on & off stage. Alcohol appeared to be his "drug of choice" but did not stop there apparently. Such a waste. I was the only one of my age group in high school in the late 70s buying Doors & Kinks albums. Born late.
Knowing that you guys listened to rap before you started doing these reaction videos, I encourage you to go find The Doors' hit "Riders On the Storm." You will recognize it from a Snoop Dogg single in which he sampled it. It may open your eyes to realize that the sounds you grew familiar with listening to a Snoop Dogg song actually originated with Jim Morrison and the Doors decades earlier. Also by the Doors, you've already done some of these, but here are their biggest hits: "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" (1967) "Light My Fire" (1967) "People Are Strange" (1967) "Love Me Two Times" (1967) "Hello, I Love You" (1968) "Touch Me" (1968) Probably my favorite of them all. "Love Her Madly" (1971) "Riders On the Storm" (1971) There were others, but they were far less memorable, or just weren't very big hits at all.
LA Woman should be on that list. IMO, the album, Morrison Hotel, was a gateway album pushing them into a new decade and era...until Morrison's untimely death.
I don't know if anyone's already mentioned it, but the version of "People are Strange" in THE LOST BOYS isn't actually The Doors. It's the band Echo and the Bunnymen. Their a kind of dark 80s band. Their biggest/poppiest hit is probably "Lips like Sugar" but also check out "The Killing Moon" "The Cutter" and "Bring on the Dancing Horses."
That's a funny comment. When I was 17 I was listening to "The Best of The Doors" and my mom asked, "Who is that? He sounds like Edgar Allen Poe came back to life as a rock singer."
When my daughter was in high school, she and all her friends were all listening to The Doors. I asked my daughter, when I heard it, and then said, "You're not supposed to like your Mother's music." LOL! So, it was like doing high school twice. LOL! "Riders On The Storm" is one of the best.
I have been listening to this music since it came out in the 60's. It still takes me to another place. Blows my mind that J. M. made all of the Doors music before age 27. Amazing to say the least. Glad y'all like it so much. On my top 10 list always, maybe higher. Love both of you and your reactions!
1971. Love Her Madly their second to last single in Spring 1971. Jim Morrison died at ae 27 on July 3 1971. Riders on the Storm was the last single, released just before Morrison's death and reach the chart the first week in July. As usual the single was the shorter edited version, edited for time on radio play. i remember my little Junior High "Rock Band" quickly learned this song [Junior High was 7th thru 9th grade then] for a Junior High dance we played, along with some other current hits like Three Dog Night's Joy to the World, "Albert Flasher" by the Guess who...etc.
If you really want to hear how versatile the Doors are you should check out Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar). Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing sounds like Oktoberfest in Bavaria and a dark carnival had a baby. It's quirky and weird but somehow it works. Their version of this old German song is one of my all time favorites. Great reaction guys! 🤘Rock on🤘 Kelly
Jim Morrison and Ray Mazurek, were on the beach in LA Morrison was reading his poetry and Ray says if I could put this to music we could make some money and the Doors were born.
The Doors and Jim. I first heard them in 67. Still have every original album. I still listen too them. Jim was a Hot Mess, but he lived life on his own terms….Many of us were convinced he didn’t die. He was so disillusioned by the corporate side of music..And many of their later work liken on LA Woman. He’s hinting to I need to get out of here…
One of my favorite Doors songs! For some reason this song triggered in my memory Santana's "oye como va", which will be a GREAT reaction! I try to bring obscure info to my comments: Jim's father, George Stephen Morrison was a highly decorated Rear Admiral and naval aviator, who was at Pearl Harbour on 7 Dec, 1941. He served in all subsequent wars, to include Vietnam. Some of what formed his personality.
Yes! I love this song. I’ve sang it live and obviously I’m not Jim but I enjoyed it. Speaking of blues, they have a song called Roadhouse Blues you should check out.
You were right in picking up on the blues sound. A lot of 60s rock bands like The Doors incorporated blues into their sound. Because if you think about it, what musicians did early rock artists have to look up to? There weren't a lot of rock artists before them except the ones from the 50s. So they grew up on blues, jazz, folk etc.
You’re doing a great job with The Doors… however LA Woman tops their discography… one of the best ever. Amber will also enjoy Peace Frog Keep up the good work… you never fail to bring a bit of enjoyment to my days
Glad you guys heard this one. "Riders On the Storm" and "Light My Fire" have free-wheeling keyboards too. Piano, electric piano, combo organ..."carnival" vibes, for sure!
There is a live performance of LOVE ME TWO TIMES from the Soundstage Performances features Jim Morrison reciting a snipet of his poetry as part of the Intro to the song. But then the Doors deliver some some real punishment and force as Ray, Robbie, and John bring real firepower behind the message. You will also love MOONLIGHT DRIVE, TOUCH ME, & THE CHANGLING. Speaking of your Lost Boys reaction Jimmy Barnes and Michael Huthence from INXS tear through a song from soundtrack called, GOOD TIME TONIGHT. Enjoy.
During Live performances, Ray Manzarek played the bass lines on a Rhodes Bass keyboard. In the studio, a session bass player would be hired. On the Album "L.A. Woman" where this track comes from the electric bass was performed by Jerry Scheff. Regarding Robbie Krieger, besides flamenco music, he also played jazz, blues and folk styles prior to joining the Doors. The Doors were a very special band and capable of exploring any style that the muse wanted for a given song. I am partial to the their songs "The End" and "Riders on the Storm". 🎹🎸🎤🥁 😎
All of the hit songs by The Doors were written by Robbie Krieger. The introspective material was written by Jim Morrison. Early on they decided to credit the entire band in writing credit....Try the tune, Roadhouse Blues...
Although Kilmer was outstanding, the movie itself was...not good. The other members of the band hated it and said it was nothing more than Oliver Stone's BS version of The Doors.
baritone voices in rock are pretty rare. I think burton Cummings of guess who has one, and somebody like Gordon light foot got famous with it but most guys are tenor or even alto it seems like. That makes Jim standout, although clearly that isn’t the only reason lol
Something worth mentioning: the Doors are one of the easiest bands to collect, largely because their output was so comparatively small. So, if you love their music show then some love and pick up their studio albums. Then, later, you can decide on the live albums and dvds.
Just wanted to say I turned rob squad on my TV to listen to the new reactions it was a rainy day and I just let it roll all day and it made me enjoy the rainy weather cause you both were such sunshine thank you souch for the smiles and the music reactions...❤️❤️
There is a Doors movie by Oliver Stone you could watch on your movie channel. It’s not very historically accurate but it let you hear a lot of their music.
I listen to a Doors song everyday. Sometimes I am lucky enough to be with my Dad, and he smiles, turns to me and says "I saw them in concert when I came home from Vietnam ". When I was in high school my Senior year (1989-1990), I played '20th Century Fox" when I asked Kathy C. out for Valentine's day.
Great music for if “The Addam’s Family” had a carnival in their backyard and invited The Doors to play. Haunting, but a moving rush at the same time (The Addams Family: a black and white “scary” comedy show from the 1960’s that everyone loved…..check it out and you’ll see how this music fits right in).
Gawd I love the DOORS.... You guys gotta do Riders On The Storm and Hello I Love You..... Groovy baby like totally outta sight! The DOORS put the edge in edgy before anyone else!!! Great reaction!
Amber, you talked about how the song is "put together." I'd say The Doors, more than many other rock bands, were conscious of arrangement. There are a lot of ways you can play the same piece of music, but The Doors really paid attention to what each instrument, and what Morrison's voice should be doing at any moment in the song. On a side note, drummer John Densmore says that when JM wrote his poems, he would set them to a melody to help him remember the words. so he would sing the lyrics to the rest of the band using that melody, and they would write the rest of the music around that. Please do "Soul Kitchen" next.
I searched your history and don't see "Light My Fire" by the Doors... how can that be? It's the most iconic Doors song and their first breakout hit. In fact, this is the song they did on Ed Sullivan (look up that video!!!) where Ed has asked them to change the lyrics because it sounded like a celebration of drugs ("can't get much higher") and although Ed was fine with explicitly sexy lyrics, he wouldn't tolerate druggies on his show... Well, Jim Morrison just sung it as it was and you can see Ed's face at the end... he is MAD and doesn't invite the Doors over for a chat after their number. They were never invited back.
Great reaction The Doors were a band like NO Other...another great song is Waiting for The Sun and of course, Peace Frog. Just imagine if Morrison lived a few more years, more classics...Wishful Thinking. Peace to all!
Jim Morrison only lived a few months after this song this was released you two need to go to Paris,France and go to the place where he died. He has a bass type of sound in his voice like a Barry White or a Harold Reid from the Statler Brothers type of Vibe. Another example is Richard Sterban from the Oak Ridge Boys.
morrison died when i was 20....i've been to his grave in pere lachaise cemetery in paris 10-12 times. always people there. used to be a bust of him but people kept on stealing it so now it's block like with a fence around it. see people from all over the universe and beyond during my visits....also go to others like edith piaf, oscak wilde, chopin,......
He wrote Running Blue for Otis Redding. Song starts.' Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song pretty little girl with the red dress on poor Otis dead and gone.
Morrison was a crooner, or wanted to be. He idolized Frank Sinatra and molded his voice to that tradition. You can really here it in the way he glides from one note to another, and hangs onto the notes. It colors the kind of rock he's creating. Unique dude, no doubt.
Sometimes it's impossible for people now to understand the " times" . If I could explain what the sixties and seventies were really like, I would. Just try to remember, many of these artists were influenced by psychedelics. Especially Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendricks. I and millions of other people my age knew the psychedelic part. And the music was amazing under the influence. You can't hear it the same way as we did. Even though we heard the words and music, you also felt it too. Just as I will never " feel" Elvis's music either. It was before my time. I am a HUGE fan of you two. Your probably the best reactors out there, in my humble opinion. Keep up the great work. And I just wanted to give you some input into what these artists mean to our time. Take Care.
'WASP(Texas Radio and the Big Beat)' is a personal fave, too often overlooked, though unsurprisingly receiving occasional airplay...'coz it's about radio, right? lol.
In the beginning, they had no bass player, stopped them from their first signing. Ray Manzerrick sp? Bought a bass keyboard to play with his left hand, scored their first deal.
More Doors classics to add to your list - "LA Woman" (Billy Idol also did a KILLER cover), "Light My Fire", "Touch Me", "The End", and "Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)".
I second (Light My Fire) but any of those are worth a listen for them.
- Love Me Two Times
- The WASP
- The Changeling
Peace Frog
And not that they'd review it, but "The Poetry of Jim Morrison with MUSIC by The Doors"
Touch Me is my favorite!
I love Billy Idol's version of LA Woman, too! The video with Billy snarling his way through the lyrics is like a little dystopian movie.
Jay/Amber, Their "LA Woman" and "Light My Fire" are next for you!!! BANGERS!! Classics!!
Yes, and they would also have to listen 🎶to I'm Blown Away and Break On Through To The Other Side.
AGREE! "Light My Fire" was the quintessential Doors song and classic for the era!!
Two of their best
"Light My Fire" long version !
I'm definitely a hit or miss on doors but I have always loved LA woman I'm going to look that up and see if you've done it no idea why I like that song and a few more and then the rest of the doors I can't get into. Respect them for sure
Jim Morrison (R.I.P.) knew how to wear leather pants.
"Light My Fire" and "Touch Me" are Door's classic must do's.
Those were written by Kreiger.
Amber, I love that you used the word carnival! Ray Manzarek's organ playing has (for many years) made me think of some dark, twisted carnival. The whole band is amazing, but Manzarek's keyboard with Jim's haunted voice gives the Doors a one-of-a-kind sound.
The Beatles - Being for the benefit of Mr. Kit. A pretty amazing creepy circus of sounds.
Or The Doors - Alabama song
But Ray Manzarek... Is he on the keys and the bass at the same time??? I'm hearing it!!! 😁
First time reactors like these two make me hear music differently, thanks to Jay n Amber😁😁😁😍😘
The Doors The End😁
Such a great catalogue for such a short lived band. Love Me Two Times by the great Robbie Kreiger isn't mentioned here in the comments so I will mention it. I would say LA Woman should be next. RIP Jim and Ray. Iconic band of the California sound, in many ways the antithesis of The Beach Boys although both bands certainly had a dark side.
Love Me Two Times is great!
Classic DOORS. ❤😮
When the Music's Over is a great song, plus The End.
Don't you love her madly? His voice, the band, the song construction... it's just perfect and stays with you!
I love "The Doors" movie with Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan etc. you might want to add it to your movie channel - I think you'd like some of the music biopic types. Like "Love & Mercy" about Brian Wilson. So many great ones out there. :) Doors are great though, so many great songs. My fav. is probably "People are Strange"
And ‘Almost Famous’
@@Priasbcbeist Yes!! I actually started naming movies but my comment got too long. There are so many incredible ones, and others that are also really cheesy but still worth watching. :) That one has so much talent too!
YESSSSS on BOTH movies-- The Doors (I was the BIGGEST Val Kilmer fan in the 80s and 90s-- he was absolutely mesmerizing, and so should have at least been nominated for an Oscar, if not won,) and Almost Famous was one of a very few movies where, as I was coming out of the theater after seeing it the first time, I wanted to turn around and walk right back in and watch it again! It is an absolute remote-dropper-- I'll watch it any and every time it's on, no matter at what point in the movie it is when I find it! One of my all-time favorite movies EVER!!!
@@mamatay7 Val was almost transcendent as Jim.
The remaining members of The Doors did NOT like the movie. They said it painted a picture of Jim Morrison that left out most of the good things about him. The movie is not accurate according to them.
Another Robby Krieger song. The Doors' guitar player has to be the most underrated songwriter of the 60s. He wrote most of their biggest hits.
I heartily agree! The only point of variance is in "most of their biggest hits." Leaving aside "best songs," which would be a totally subjective list, when you are talking about Robbie and the Door's commercial hits, I think that it's safe to drop the "most of."
This is my childhood, all these songs are what I grew up to, and I can’t help but put myself back in time whenever I hear it.
I do remember that time ….fantastically I go right back there! I like it when he sings “ Don’t you love her as she’s walking out the door!”
I ditto that!
We were lucky it was great .
Mine too
Me too
My First favorite band. Love the song "The Crystal Ship." It would be great if you guys did that one!
That's my favorite Doors song!
My ex used to sing it to me. Sweet memory.
Great song
I love the crystal ship it is such beautiful song I love his vocals
When I think classic Doors, I automatically think Light My Fire. Y'all really should listen to that one next.🎶
Couldn't agree more. Love that song.
Would love to hear you play the Doors song: Five to One! 💕 (Jim is referring to the number of young people versus the older generation of the time.)
No one here gets out alive… Great song!
Beautiful Doors! A fave : Touch Me.
@@kimberlymiller3262 great song! Somehow I forgot about it, they have so many great songs is hard to keep up with them 😅
The very weird thing The Doors did was switching between blues and jazz with no transitions...very unique
This song was one of the highest charted song of the Doors. The organ, guitars and the drums in this song are amazing.
And Jim's voice is so outstanding. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
This group was way ahead of their time.
"Touch Me" - The Doors with horns!
Five to one is awesome, Back Door Man is one of my favorites, Jim's voice never gets old💜
“Touch Me” is one of my absolute favorites of theirs, please add it to the list (Amber, you’ll really like this one). Also, Ray Manzarek plays a mean keyboard, doesn’t he! I think I’ll go watch the movie now, I’m in a Doors kind of mood.
I like a lot of the Doors, but to be honest some of their songs sort of have a Las Vegas Lounge Music sound. Like "Touch Me" and others. That being said, there is an entirely different side that is completely psychedelic and some completely rocking and bluesy. They covered a lot of ground.
Moonlight Drive is a must. The poetic words of Jim Morrison that Ray Manzarek dug so much that he said, let's start a band!
Love the way Ray Manczerak's keyboard solo puts a huge smile on their faces.. It does that to me every time...
The most interesting thing about The Doors is that Morrison (and the band pretty much) died in 1971 but Morrison was on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1980 (9 years later!) and I read once that 1980 was their top album selling year - that is unheard of.

@@jrox6091 by ‘81, they had a big resurgence and sold a lot of records… got ray w/ prime property in Napa valley.
Great song! I would love to see you guys react to "Riders of the Storm" by the Doors, such a spellbinding song!
They did about four months ago.
calabi-yau *Riders ON the Storm. Although your way might make more sense.
@@kbusby4824 thanks for the heads-up, will look for it. cheers!
The best Doors song? Too many choices but “Love Me Two Times” alway comes to mind.

You will recognize it from a Snoop Dogg single in which he sampled it. It may open your eyes to realize that the sounds you grew familiar with listening to a Snoop Dogg song actually originated with Jim Morrison and the Doors decades earlier.

"Light My Fire" (1967)
"People Are Strange" (1967)
"Love Me Two Times" (1967)
"Hello, I Love You" (1968)
"Touch Me" (1968) Probably my favorite of them all.
"Love Her Madly" (1971)
"Riders On the Storm" (1971)
There were others, but they were far less memorable, or just weren't very big hits at all.
LA Woman should be on that list.
IMO, the album, Morrison Hotel, was a gateway album pushing them into a new decade and era...until Morrison's untimely death.
the doors. Part of my life since 1967. Love them madly forever. Light My Fire. Get it 😊
'This band is on the same page of we're gonna absolutely kill it." Yes! Their chemistry is unmatched.
Lightning in a bottle, there never was a group quite like The Doors and there won't be another! Almost 60 years later and I'm still waiting!
I don't know if anyone's already mentioned it, but the version of "People are Strange" in THE LOST BOYS isn't actually The Doors. It's the band Echo and the Bunnymen. Their a kind of dark 80s band. Their biggest/poppiest hit is probably "Lips like Sugar" but also check out "The Killing Moon" "The Cutter" and "Bring on the Dancing Horses."
Youll notice a subtle nod to the Beatles and the Beach boys in the All your love chorus.
Jim Morrison has such a mysterious eerie sounding voice. I love it! He's the Vincent Price voice of Rock music.
Alice Cooper also maybe.
He has been dubbed, "The crooner from hell" .......in a good way of course.
He is also known as The Lizard King.
That's a funny comment. When I was 17 I was listening to "The Best of The Doors" and my mom asked, "Who is that? He sounds like Edgar Allen Poe came back to life as a rock singer."
That's an odd yet apt statement. Vincent Price was an art lover. He collected Remmington etchings when he was just a kid.
Always ready for some more Doors.
Man, that drummer was killing it too.
This was the first song i ever heard by the Doors as a 15yo! I was instantly hooked!
L.A. Woman, Riders on the Storm, Roadhouse Blues and Peace Frog. Can't go wrong with any of these Doors' classics.
When my daughter was in high school, she and all her friends were all listening to The Doors. I asked my daughter, when I heard it, and then said, "You're not supposed to like your Mother's music." LOL! So, it was like doing high school twice. LOL! "Riders On The Storm" is one of the best.
I remember, as a 12 year old boy in 1971, the opening riff and the cool, smooth voice of Jim Morrison.
Yeah, great choice, the Doors always please. Try Waiting for the Sun from them next and be amazed. Enjoy! 🎵🎤🎹🎸🎶
Great song!!
Jerry Scheff's awesome bass lines really drive the song along.
I have been listening to this music since it came out in the 60's. It still takes me to another place. Blows my mind that J. M. made all of the Doors music before age 27. Amazing to say the least. Glad y'all like it so much. On my top 10 list always, maybe higher. Love both of you and your reactions!
Imo the Doors have one of the best back catalogs in Rock. So many absolute gem tracks and very few sub-par ones.
1971. Love Her Madly their second to last single in Spring 1971. Jim Morrison died at ae 27 on July 3 1971. Riders on the Storm was the last single, released just before Morrison's death and reach the chart the first week in July.

Woman" where this track comes from the electric bass was performed by Jerry Scheff. Regarding Robbie Krieger, besides flamenco music, he also played jazz, blues and folk styles prior to joining the Doors. The Doors were a very special band and capable of exploring any style that the muse wanted for a given song.
I am partial to the their songs "The End" and "Riders on the Storm".
🎹🎸🎤🥁 😎
All of the hit songs by The Doors were written by Robbie Krieger. The introspective material was written by Jim Morrison. Early on they decided to credit the entire band in writing credit....Try the tune, Roadhouse Blues...
You guys would love to react to The Doors Movie reaction with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison and Meg Ryan as his Girlfriend
Although Kilmer was outstanding, the movie itself was...not good. The other members of the band hated it and said it was nothing more than Oliver Stone's BS version of The Doors.
@@mattfulmer4243 Thank you for letting me know that! ✌️
baritone voices in rock are pretty rare. I think burton Cummings of guess who has one, and somebody like Gordon light foot got famous with it but most guys are tenor or even alto it seems like. That makes Jim standout, although clearly that isn’t the only reason lol
Something worth mentioning: the Doors are one of the easiest bands to collect, largely because their output was so comparatively small. So, if you love their music show then some love and pick up their studio albums. Then, later, you can decide on the live albums and dvds.
One of my favorite songs by the Doors
Amber really gets the doors....they are rock and roll, by the way. Advanced and unique in the genre, but rock and roll, baby.
the doors you can pop a cork on you favorite wine sit back and let the day melt away
Just wanted to say I turned rob squad on my TV to listen to the new reactions it was a rainy day and I just let it roll all day and it made me enjoy the rainy weather cause you both were such sunshine thank you souch for the smiles and the music reactions...❤️❤️
There is a Doors movie by Oliver Stone you could watch on your movie channel. It’s not very historically accurate but it let you hear a lot of their music.
Listen to the Soft Parade, everything must be this way. Cobra on my left. Leopard on my right.
Riders of the Storm!!
Riders On The Storm
@@surlechapeau thank you!! That's right
@@kimconliffe9000 you're welcome!! its all good
Actually that version of People are Strange in the Lost Boys is a cover by the 80’s group Echo and the Bunnyman
I listen to a Doors song everyday. Sometimes I am lucky enough to be with my Dad, and he smiles, turns to me and says "I saw them in concert when I came home from Vietnam ". When I was in high school my Senior year (1989-1990), I played '20th Century Fox" when I asked Kathy C. out for Valentine's day.
Great music for if “The Addam’s Family” had a carnival in their backyard and invited The Doors to play. Haunting, but a moving rush at the same time (The Addams Family: a black and white “scary” comedy show from the 1960’s that everyone loved…..check it out and you’ll see how this music fits right in).
You ought to watch the movie "The Doors", because Val Kilmer did his own singing. It was a nice way of honoring Jim!
The doors forever , gracias chicos por subirlo q bueno 👍 abrazo enorme gracias por hacerme feliz
Gawd I love the DOORS.... You guys gotta do Riders On The Storm and Hello I Love You..... Groovy baby like totally outta sight! The DOORS put the edge in edgy before anyone else!!! Great reaction!
Amber, you talked about how the song is "put together." I'd say The Doors, more than many other rock bands, were conscious of arrangement. There are a lot of ways you can play the same piece of music, but The Doors really paid attention to what each instrument, and what Morrison's voice should be doing at any moment in the song. On a side note, drummer John Densmore says that when JM wrote his poems, he would set them to a melody to help him remember the words. so he would sing the lyrics to the rest of the band using that melody, and they would write the rest of the music around that.
Please do "Soul Kitchen" next.
Band guitarist Robby Krieger wrote "Love Her Madly". He also wrote “Light my Fire “
I searched your history and don't see "Light My Fire" by the Doors... how can that be? It's the most iconic Doors song and their first breakout hit. In fact, this is the song they did on Ed Sullivan (look up that video!!!) where Ed has asked them to change the lyrics because it sounded like a celebration of drugs ("can't get much higher") and although Ed was fine with explicitly sexy lyrics, he wouldn't tolerate druggies on his show... Well, Jim Morrison just sung it as it was and you can see Ed's face at the end... he is MAD and doesn't invite the Doors over for a chat after their number. They were never invited back.
Great reaction The Doors were a band like NO Other...another great song is Waiting for The Sun and of course, Peace Frog. Just imagine if Morrison lived a few more years, more classics...Wishful Thinking. Peace to all!
Jim Morrison only lived a few months after this song this was released you two need to go to Paris,France and go to the place where he died. He has a bass type of sound in his voice like a Barry White or a Harold Reid from the Statler Brothers type of Vibe. Another example is Richard Sterban from the Oak Ridge Boys.
morrison died when i was 20....i've been to his grave in pere lachaise cemetery in paris 10-12 times. always people there. used to be a bust of him but people kept on stealing it so now it's block like with a fence around it. see people from all over the universe and beyond during my visits....also go to others like edith piaf, oscak wilde, chopin,......
Riders On The Storm Is my favorite Doors song
You aren't lying! I've had The Doors greatest hits for decades, and it's one of those sets I can play from front to back without skipping a track.
As a younger female years ago 😂🤣 I was so in LOVE....he was something special but drugs ruin it always for everyone !!!
R.I..Paradise Jim 💜💙💜💙💜
"Touch Me," "Riders on the Storm," and the lesser known "Running Blue." Jim Morrison was one of the greats!!!
He wrote Running Blue for Otis Redding. Song starts.' Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song pretty little girl with the red dress on poor Otis dead and gone.
Morrison was a crooner, or wanted to be. He idolized Frank Sinatra and molded his voice to that tradition. You can really here it in the way he glides from one note to another, and hangs onto the notes. It colors the kind of rock he's creating. Unique dude, no doubt.
Didn't know that, but something in his voice always reminded me of Frank Sinatra.
Like most songs that are timeless they tell a story that has been true between men and women till the end of time
Jim Morrison's life and death are the stuff rock legends are made of his rambling free form lyrics are just part of the mystique.
Break On Through, People Are Strange, Riders On the Storm
You've got to listen to Love Me Two Times. I'm surprised that you haven't yet.
When I was a child, this song conjured up images of a scene in a horror house as the organ was being played by a ghostly cartoon character.
Add “Touch Me” to your library! Good live version to view.
My favorite doors song.
Jim is my spirit animal ...
That bass line!
The Doors "The End" in the movie "Apocalypse Now"
Sometimes it's impossible for people now to understand the " times" . If I could explain what the sixties and seventies were really like, I would. Just try to remember, many of these artists were influenced by psychedelics. Especially Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendricks. I and millions of other people my age knew the psychedelic part. And the music was amazing under the influence. You can't hear it the same way as we did. Even though we heard the words and music, you also felt it too. Just as I will never " feel" Elvis's music either. It was before my time. I am a HUGE fan of you two. Your probably the best reactors out there, in my humble opinion. Keep up the great work. And I just wanted to give you some input into what these artists mean to our time. Take Care.
This is one of the songs that never gets old 👍
You guys have to do the most 60’s quintessential song, and it must be the LONG version:
The Doors - “The End”
'WASP(Texas Radio and the Big Beat)' is a personal fave, too often overlooked, though unsurprisingly receiving occasional airplay...'coz it's about radio, right? lol.
In the beginning, they had no bass player, stopped them from their first signing. Ray Manzerrick sp? Bought a bass keyboard to play with his left hand, scored their first deal.
