4:30 Jim's father is the one that put that saying on his grave. According to the Admiral, it translates to "True to his own spirit".
Too bad he found out so late! he damaged Jim.
@shazam1969ish Jim's father was a good man who had the typical values of his generation. The negative aspects of their relationship have been wildly overblown.
i am Greek. ''δαιμων εαυτου'' (demon of one's Self) is considered to be the deity that lives in side each man from his cradle to his grave and protects him, guides him and helps him to fulfill his fate and grow spiritually...(ancient Greeks did not believe in ''demons'' as evil spirits as the Christians do. they didn't believe in ghosts either and they were not afraid to visit graveyards). the Christian equivalent would be of ''demon of one's self'' would be ''guardian angel''...or a type of internal Philemon, the spiritual guide of Jung described in the Red Book'' (Liber Novus). thus, ''πραττω κατα τον δαιμονα εαυτου'' means act and live ''true to one's own consciousness, true to one's own self, true to his own spirit'/soul'. very suitable for someone like Jim, that defied society's conventions. like his French idol, the enfant terrible of poetry, Arthur Rimbaud. RIP Jim.
The level of detail, care and compassion you provide in this video is what sets you apart from other content creators. I was six years old when Jim died and at the time I had no idea who he was, but I clearly remember friends of my parents playing The Doors when we went to their home.
I will never understand people who deface the final resting places of anyone - famous or not. Thank you for this vid! You and Jessica do an amazing job every time.
I agree, such a disrespectful thing to do. ✌💀
No respect for the dead. ⚰️🪦
Rest easy jim,my favorite song is the end,he was a poet to never forget
To actually see the final resting place of Jim Morrison is seriously awesome. Thank you Grimm and Jessica for bringing it to those who will never be able to cast our eyes upon it.
I saw the Doors in the summer of 1966, I'm pretty sure, at a summer music festival in, I think, Woodinville, WA., before they were all that popular. I had no idea that they would eventually become as famous as they were. The next summer, 1967, they had a hit song called 'Light My Fire".
Oh wow, what other bands were at the festival? They played a lot of shows opening for Van Morrison and Them at the Whiskey in Los Angeles, imagine seeing Van the man and the Doors on the same night, wow
@@vicvega3614 I don't remember. I wish I did!
Mustof been low key the festival but people must of been high !
@@waynesilverman3048 lol I'll bet some were! I was only 14 at the time and never smelled weed but years later I recognized the smell when I smoked my first joint. It was nothing like the smell of todays pot. There were around 300 ppl there that day.
@@tonyf.8858 Its a bit too strong the smell todays main weed when lit ,we call it skunk.But ive always loved the smell of ganga(no longer smoke it) especially hash.
You know, I gotta admit - when "it's mind blowing to walk where Jim lived" was said, I got chills. Thats exactly, what it is. I've been the Doors - fan nearly 40 yrs. Ever since I was 9 yrs old. And first time hearing The End. It was 2009 when I first got to visit Jims grave and place where he used to live when he died. And - the chills. Man. Paris is the city of love yes, but there is something very dark, something very eerie in the city itself. And Jim definetly is a great part of this amongs every other poet and artist who have lived there. Thank you again. ❤✌
As a lifelong The Doors fan this is a very merry Christmas curled up in bed about to watch this. 🦎
Freddie, Amy, & Jim
It means so much that you have shared these places with us ❤
Spirit lives on even today 🙏✌️☮️ even after death
I grew up in France and went to Père Lachaise several times. I went there for the last time a couple of decades ago, and back then there was no fencing, you could still get straight to Jim Morrison’s grave. I believe they started putting up barricades because people would keep stealing the bust on his grave. This is why you can’t have nice things :/
😆
Frikin shame. And you should be able to have nice things but ya know…. 😥🍎
Indeed, my friend and i visited Jim's final resting place back in 1994. There were no barriers. Idiots had sprayed graffiti onto his gravestone and were leaving packets of cigarettes, joints and bottles of alcohol around the grave. We Walked away in a combination of sadness and dismay.
@@nochistar His bust is stoling one time, not keep on steeling time, there only was one of it. But you can climb over the fencing, but the fencing is there sinse 1995, there where plastic lines. I go here 3 time a year, couple of days in a row. But the fencing will not help, even the camara in the light is'nt working for years. But a lot of people from the States who come to the grave, and want to jump over, they doing someting criminals 😅 😂
Well Jim loved booze and joints so he must be very pleased and grateful to people leaving him all that stuff on his tomb 😉 @@tonywilliamson3532
To die so young made Jim immortal .Man , talk about an awesome roadtrip! Stay safe and thank you !
YES! I've been on a Doors binge for the last 3 weeks. Perfect timing.
I have always been a huge Doors fan, Im a 60s and 70s music guy always have been, its when the best music every made was recorded
Oh, the romanticism of legend and lore. He’s been out of sight but never has he been out of mind. Rock on Jim 🎼🎼🎼🎼thank-you for video.
Very good video. I’ve been a Doors fan for most of my life (I’m 55) and there are a lot of conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Sad truth is, he is gone and we never got any more of his beautiful poetry and music supplied by the other members of the band. RIP-Lizard King, JDM.
I really liked Jim. Guess we will never know the true story of how and where or even if he really died, but that's ok. Thank you for this. Fascinating.
You say that your not historians,you are as you document social history,extremely well researched material and very well produced and presented,well done both,Chris
This is hands down the best introduction to any video ever! Absolute fan of the Doors and…Grimm-Life Collective!
Such a legend val kilmer was awesome as Jim Morrison in the movie the doors.
Riders on the storm classic wow!! love the group thanks for sharing....
If you listen to the song he whispers the lyrics same time as he sings it ✌🏼
@@keitha.563 if u check my bio ur see that we played that on out boat heading to med thats mediterranean in the summertime hitting temperatures on 43c.... ...peace✊
This is truly amazing. I remember my step dad would play the doors alot when I was younger. Very cool honoring the lead singer of the band. Very cool cemetery too
Great video. FYI, I believe the translation on the tombstone is “True to his own spirit”
I’m starting to wish you two lived there now. The vlogs are fantastic and there’s so much more to see and explore. Thanks so much.
I'm so glad you guys finally got around to focusing specifically on Jim, beautifully shot and done with so much love and respect for Jim, great video once again guys
When you guys return to the states, a video on Pamela's final resting place would be interesting
When my son was like 12 years old, we went to the Maryland Deathfest to see only two bands out of the 4 days: 'The Obsessed' and 'Pelican'. So, during the large amount of time we had on our hands, we drove all around taking photos. We came across a very old cemetery that had Rebel Flags in front of the graves of the Confederate Soldiers. He took an amazing color, and then an infrared photo at that graveyard. The infrared has that erieness given the ~30 second exposure.
Happy Holidays, Grimm!!! Jimmy Morrison is a legend and he would’ve turned 80 today!!!!
Can't say it enough,you go out of your way to make these videos outstanding. Morrison was one of many gone too soon. I have tons of the Doors CDs.🖤
Jim Morrison is my all time favorite musician and poet. Your videos on Jim and The Doors are always my favorite. 🖤💚
Another fantastic piece. Truly amazing to walk the same streets as this legend.
Ahhhhh Jim Morrison! I had a feeling I’d be seeing this soon and so hoped I would be right!!! Ahhhhh! HOLY HECKENS EXCITED! I just love this cemetery, there’s so many beautiful ones but this one is so beautiful! His death was so sad, I have listened to The Doors a lot, Jim Morrison being part of the 27 club, so so sad… he won’t ever be forgotten, ever! Makes you wonder, if any of the 27 club members, what their music would be like today? I wonder that all the time as I am a singer, (not professionally) but I’ve always wondered if they were still making music how it would sound today, I know they’d be older but I’m curious. And yes… do not touch the bubblegum. That part was interestingly disgusting lol. But great video again besties! So so wild you guys got to visit him! ❤👻🧛🏻♂️🦇🐦⬛🦉💚that would be scary but cool if he showed up in your shots!
Poet!❤
Forever fan of the Doors and especially Jim Morrison. The good die young or so they say. Thank you for this video, beautifully done.
Jim Morrison a awesome singer and Doors a awesome group,sad he passed away when I was 5,RIP
Yes Grim, he died through those blue doors. Good doc on TH-cam about it ... Awesome job 🤘🏼Happy Halloween 🎈
Thank you,you guys do a wonderful job with these stories. I'm a huge doors fan,I loved Jims persona and his dark personality, but my favorite member of the doors is Ray. The talent is absolutely incredible. I'm a guitar player and love Robbies style too, but Ray was superman for me, I just loved that darn organ playing, I mean he played the hell outta that thing. RIP Ray,Jim,peace.✌🤘
another great video! I loved the one where you visited the house where he lived in LA and enjoyed this one also very much!
Felt Jim’s vibe throughout the video! Nice work guys I loved seeing his window.
Merry Christmas my ghouls☃️🎄☃️
Was so hoping you would cover Jim Morrison. Thank you🎃
What a Christmas treat! Interview Jim's brother Andy and maybe his sister Anne.
Amazing video! This one is so special to me. My dad loved the Doors so much that he wanted to have "The End" played at his funeral. I know if he were still alive he would have loved your channel. Thank you guys for all hard work that goes into making these videos.❤
Hi there,
I’m a new subscriber!
This video was done very nicely.
I visited Paris back in August, went to Jim’s grave, and the home that he was living in too. It was a beautiful experience. It was on my bucket list 😅😅😅
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Amazing as always. Never heard of the fact that his body may have been moved. Very interesting. Hope you'll return to the cemetery again in future videos.
Watching this and playing the Doors music on original vinyl through out in the background makes this video just friggen awesome
Merry Christmas, Grimlife and Grim Family. Sending love and happiness your way.
Not that it means anything, but I was born 7/7/71, the day of Jim's "funeral", my best friend growing up was born the day Jimi Hendrix died, & he lived on the adjoining dead-end street one house over, Joplin Dr!😅
Just always thought that was a trip! Glad y'all got to visit.
See ya!
🤘🎅❤️
I could definitely spend all day walking around a cemetery like this. Such a wonderful video on Jim Morrison.
Amazing video, but you always give us the BEST!! I loved this. Jim to me was such a great, creative musician/singer. Thank you for doing this. I do believe he predicted his own death.Michael is the most intriguing story teller. Totally keeps you interested.Happy
Halloween 🖤🖤🕷👻
Thanks for the video! I’m a HUGE Doors/Jim Morrison fan in New Zealand and haven’t made it to Paris yet. Thanks for sharing your Paris Jim adventure with us ❤
Cemeteries can be surprisingly impressive. There are some in New Orleans - pronounced “No’lens” there - and in Old San Juan that are amazing. The one in PR is right below the fort from memory and that’s a great walk. I don’t exactly know your exact history but I’ve always thought you’d be great at movie editing. Your shots and final videos are always impressive. In particular that opening is really good.
I went to visit Jim at the cemetery early December 2022. I used a ghost voice box and asked how he was. He answered, “comfortable”. 🙏🏻💀👻
You guys have completely filled .my Christmas stocking. ❤ Thank you for coming back and doing a part 2. I can now listen to a Crawling king snake to a higher level. Happy Halloween.
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays Micheal and Jessica.
Another great video. I've liked The Doors music and Jim Morrison's poetry since my teens. Thank you both.
This was the best video ever done on Jim Morrison! Awesome job!
Thank you for the kind words. Happy you dig the videoz
Visited the Graveyard a long time ago , following seeing 'Bon Jovi' perform live in Paris. Such a shame that Jim Morrison's Grave has now been sectioned off to fans, and those who did, and still continue to appreciate his Talent. Shame on those who dessicate anybody's final resting place. RIP Jim. X
I went to bed b4 the live ended, but thus video notification went off and I'm glad I heard it! Great video! It's a bummer the state of his grave though.
I'll never forget in the first season of America's Next Top Model, the final three were given a day off to go out and explore the city, and they got into this huge fight because one girl wanted to go shopping and the girl who ended up winning the show demanded to go visit Jim Morrison's grave!! ✌️😂💓
Thanks for another great video. Although others have done the death of Jim Morrison, this one from you and Baby Ghoul is by far the best and most comprehensive. Extensive research as usual. Best to you both in the coming year. Thank you.
I love/loved Jim and The Doors SOOOO much,and I LOVE THIS!!!🥰💖😍 Thank you both so so much for making this wonderful video!!!
The Doors a awesome group Jim Morrison a awesome singer,he passed away when I was 5,may he RIP
That was yet another amazing video! I really enjoy your European Tour! That cemetery os incredible! I have been to Paris twice and saw Jim Morrison‘s grave but didn’t go to his former residence. Thank you so much for sharing that with us 🤗🤗
Wow! I was hoping for at least one posting visiting Mr. Morrison, during your European trip, and we get two! A very nice Christmas present!
Moonlight drive, LA woman, the changeling, strange days, Alabama song, love me two times, the Chrystal ship and riders on the storm. Every classic Doors still great today
ALWAYS, ALWAYS an instant classic!!! Your story telling and visuals are always SUPERB!!! .
Well done guys. Great Narration and detail. Merry Christmas to you both also. From Tas Australia
Hello, I m french, you re my favourite youtube Channel. Since I watch you I was hoping for you to come to Paris and shoot this exact video.Finally you made it. Thank you so much Michael and Jessica.
Another fascinating video from you guys, simply amazing! I was exposed to The Doors at the early age of 4 back in 1967. My dad used to play the album “Strange Days” quite a bit, and I came to know every song, especially “When The Music’s Over” where that line about hearing “the scream of the butterfly” was written on that tomb comes from. Brilliant song. I subsequently became (and still am) quite the metal head, to my parents’ dismay. “Hey dad, you started it all by exposing me to that ‘druggie music’ at the ripe age of 4, what did you think was gonna happen?” 😂😂
You've gotta take your hat of to Val Kilmer as well for a fantastic portrayal of Jim, One of my favourite movies ever...
Thanks for the interesting facts. Jim Morrison died 16 days after I was born.
ONE OF HIS KING.PERIOD. ! As mentioned in Greek on his gravestone : "true to himself". The Doors will never die, Jim's poetry either and remember : JIM is none of these considerations : he broke through to another side but as a parisian native, musician, Venice rooftop, whisky-a-gogo vibrations lover and some : he lived as a true to himself pushed his journey to the fullest; and remember : Lizards are immortals and Kings are Eternal. He is this very kind soul and creative mind which will last far beyond even if the Earth should disappear. BREAK IT THROUGH TO YOUR OTHER SIDES PEOPLE. Take care and enjoy the journey, the Doors will be open, wherever you think about anything. It will always be strange days waiting for the sun ;)
Thanks a lot for this trip that I did A LOOOOOOOOT
I love how you find all these details and all the locations. All the Care you put in it really shows. Thank you for taking us along on this journey and showing us where Jim Morrison passed away and where he lived. It was beautifully done
I was there July 3rd 1993. I was stationed in Germany at the time. Jim’s grave was the first trip I took. Had to see it. When we got to the cemetery there was probably a hundred people outside camping out. I had no idea it was the anniversary of his death. I had brought a liter of Segrams 7 to pour on his grave but the guards would not allow me to bring it in. So I gave it to some dude outside. From what I remember almost every tombstone had some graffiti telling you how to get to Jim’s grave. We had no problem finding it. And when we got his grave it took 45 minutes to get up to it. It was surrounded by people. Back then there was no fence. So I got right up to his grave. People had left poems, cassettes, pictures, cards and there was a candle burning on top of his tombstone. It was probably the coolest thing I had ever experienced at the time. Still have the pictures. Very grateful I made the trip. Great work Grim.
This is why I started following you! I think it was the love street episode! Jim Morrison is my favorite ❤❤❤thank you so much for making this ❤❤❤❤
Jim Morrison‘s grave translates to “ True to his own spirit “ .
Also he did not die in the bathtub, he died at a bar called rock ‘n’ roll circus in one of the Bathroom stalls and a couple of gentlemen took him back to his flat and put them in the bathtub.
According to Danny Sugerman in his book Wonderland Avenue, Pam confessed to him that Jim had gotten into her stash mistakenly thinking it was coke.
@joejones9520 The channel "Daniel Sarkissian" here on TH-cam has a comprehensive breakdown of all the views/timelines of Jim's last days. After listening to all of this as well as talking to someone online who claimed they were at the nightclub that night, I'm leaning heavily towards the possibility he died in the bathroom of the nightclub. The story of his heart giving out in the bathtub was allowed to persist by his friends because it was a more dignified story than the truth.
@@yankeeapple5615 ABSOLUTELY 💥👍🏻💥
@@yankeeapple5615 i’m even questioning it if it was suicide. The reason I say that is he had a bottle of vodka and got a large amount of heroin and went into the bathroom stall and just prior to that he told his friend that he wanted to be buried in Perry Lachey cemetery . I’m convinced he had a Deathwish . Jim was a very smart man and he was not a heroin attic so, it makes me wonder.
@christopherlievens I never considered that possibility. He had a history of getting blacked out drunk and doing crazy stuff. It's possible that it was intentional, but if it was, I really doubt he was thinking straight at the time. He had drank himself unconscious in the club on other occasions....
Great video! I had no idea of the conspiracy theories on his death.
Great video.
Sad that you can’t go near the grave.
Many years ago I went to Paris to visit him, and many famous at the cemetery , I remembered the script behind his grave “the end” like his song. Amazing. Pretty wild.
👏🏼
Marry Christmas and happy holidays guys! You must come here in Italy , the cemeteries here are very amazing, Venice , Genova, Roma, Firenze, Torino...
Peter hook from Joy Division, come to visit many times a famous family grave, that is the cover of Closer, Joy Division album.
He was military kid! His father highly Navy officer! I feel for family! I love his music!
One of the best crooner singers ever as far as vocal tone to me. .. Timeless quality. Great job on editing and narration grimmlife.. Hope your channel grows exponentially with viewers, funding and new opportunities!
Yea Jim was actually a huge Frank Sinatra fan and Elvis bass player Jerry Scheff played on LA woman album
@@vicvega3614 Glenn Danzig was a good one too ..inspired in part by those greats 😁
Jim had a Baritone vocal, which I think is the most natural and interesting ❤️
@@timothymeadows8326 ive recently noticed that Billy Idol has a voice that sounds a lot like Jims. Billy is also in the Doors movie and I think he knew Jim way back. Also Ian Astbury of the Cult sounds like Jim and Ian sang with the other Doors members for a couple tours
@@vicvega3614 Yeah... Billy Idol has a great Morrison-esq voice :)
Good Christmas Mr and Mrs Grimm. I'm so happy you chose this one. I love Jim. I hope you are having a great day. We love you❤
10 years ago right before turning 27, I travelled to Seattle to see Jimi's grave, the house where Kurt was murdered (Yeah, I said it) and then to Paris. Jim's grave was an emotional thing for me. I couldn't tell you why. I arrived early in the morning around dawn, sat up against the tree there and listened to the album "The Doors" It felt like a religious experience to me.
Very well done Love the Doors
RIP JIM - the 60's Music will never be forgotten !
Thank you for this wonderful video. You guys are the best! I grew up listening to the Doors because my dad was a huge fan and he still is. Although he's 74 now, his room still resounds with Morrison's voice since he plays it so loud.. Seeing his grave and the location where he lived and died made me so sad and reminded me how short and unpredictable life is for all of us.. I can't wait to visit this amazing cemetery and his grave myself!
Nice tribute to this great artist. Very well narrated and editing. It was amazing to see his pictures. I am always impressed with the great cemeteries you showed to us. I loved it! Thank you dear Sir! Happy Halloween
Sorry i'm late, very sick with COVID! Thank you. Take care of both of you
I try to watch all your videos as much as I can but I have made it a thing to watch every video on your trip to Europe
I had to comment on my experience watching your video. For Christmas decorations I had placed 2 battery operated candles on either side of the TV. They had been turned off the night before going to bed. The morning after Christmas I was watching your video and as soon as you showed Jim Morrison's grave, both candles came on at the same time by themselves. To be clear, they have never turned on by themselves.
Very creepy!
Loved the video, and apparently Jim loves it too!
I loved his voice he was of the best singers the doors like riders on the storm touch me waiting for the sun la woman light my fire a lot more by the doors I’m a doors fan since my dad got me into them the doors was one my fav bands when i was growing up I was listen to them on XM radio
I was literally where you stood a couple of weeks ago, I was amazed also that for such a famous person, his grave didn’t reflect that.
Thank You for this Grimm! My favorite artist/band to ever grace us with their presence! 🖤
Been waiting a while for this one. Somehow you always know. One of the best TH-cam channels hands down. Thanks guys.
Love it. Thank you for bringing us with you ;)
I can listen to you guys talk all day!! ❤️❤️ great video!
Been binge watching you guys lately great video 😊👍
Great choice of opening song, one of my favourites. There's a lot more Rock n Roll connections to Paris than people realise, from Elvis to W.A.S.P., Sid Vicious etc
Thank you for sharing your experiences. This was another good one.
I didn’t know it took a week for the world to know of his death, let alone know one seeing his body. But I do remember some of the lore, like Jim and his girlfriend going away together, to love a normal and peaceful life.
Sweet! One of my favorite bands!
…again, a beautiful video from you guys!!! I really love to see you walking through wonderful Paris/Père Lachaise! I also spend some time there years ago. It‘s a great place!
another great video thanks so much for what you guys do
This was special ♥️ Thank you!
Your attention to detail in your vids always blows my mind! You and Jessica rock!! Merry Christmas ❤ 🎁 thank you for the vid today!!
I love every one of your videos. Keep up the great work !
