Robbie kreiger is an astonishing guitar player. Robbies totally an original, no one ever played like him at the time or since. The doors like so very many of their contemporaries brought so, so much energy to the table. Huge fan since the mid 1990s during my teens, this 14 yr old lovely girl who i met out of the blue had a small black doors st christophers necklace on showing me it before i really knew the music, with regret i only knew her for half an hour, but that inspired me. She left me a very happy doors fan here in the uk.
I think all of their albums were masterpieces as special and different as each of the 4 seasons and the stars in the sky, the music of today is just awful and unpleasant to listen to because a lot of the new artists aren't even musicians and most of it is garbage that will never be remembered or spoken of in high regards like the classic rock music of the 60s and 70s
Light My Fire represents their true collaboration. Robby Krieger wrote most of the lyrics, Jim Morrison contributed a couple of the lines in the song and also helped shape how the song will be sung. A true Doors collaboration that became one of the top hits of the 1960s.
I LOVE this documentary! Cover so many angles of the music, and even showing how to play the kicks on guitar! Love all the wonderful video clips of Doors performances I’ve heard about in Ray and John’s books. Wow! I’m going to be watching this over and over!! I was born too late for original Doors ... yet I became totally obsessed with Doors in my late teens, 20’s. I was lucky enough for Riders on the Storm 2008 performance in Rochester NY with Ray and Robby and Brett. I was front and center of stage barricade.... watched Robbys amazing finger work up close, could see the pattern in Rays cool socks as he played organ. Was absolutely amazing! One of best concert experiences of my life. Thank you for an awesome documentary!! ❤️
Hi Kimberly Where you from,i'm from South Africa and there is a town called KIMBERLY it was a diamond mining town..don't know if you knew that piece of useless information😄✌ Can i ask you what is your top 3 Doors songs
Back in the 1980's , in Wildwood , N.J. , we had a short lived wannabe punk rock band called ''Vic Marrow's Head ! I was always inspired by the Doors music since age 14 in 1967.
Ray manzarek had a band with his brothers they were from Chicago heavily into the Blues. And for this journalist to say that Jim Morrison was a man that you love to hate Jim Morrison is a man that I would love to have a beer with.
Breakfast where the news is read Television's children fed. Unborn living , living dead Bullet strikes the helmets head. It's all over,its all over War is over,war is over ... ... 🖤 🇺🇲 Make a grave for the unknown soldier Nestled in your hollow shoulder 🖤 🎶🎵 🎶
Ironic , how a lot ended as the Doors came to an end ; such as hippies , Vietnam, muscle cars, silver standard , going to the moon and war hero's etc. Then new stuff started ; the ecology movement , dept. of energy/gasoline shortages , college entrance restrictions, small cars and computers etc.
Why do they always have to have a dork who has nothing to do with the band, sitting with a guitar on his knee and pretend to explain how a song is written?
don't forget how they always have to shake the strings on the last chord to try to get some vibrato out of it; regardless if it's done on the recording or not. i can't even continue to watch this any longer due to the hosts being so pretentious.
Interesting they discuss 'Touch Me' and the fact that Robby Krieger wanted to call his tune, 'Hit Me' - which was over-ruled by the rest of the band and producer Paul Rothchild. Ironically, they show the Smother's Brothers clip but never mention the fact that Krieger is sporting a black eye - an event which has drawn lots of attention over the years with fans asking what happened and scads of then offering their opinions about it as well as the Doors themselves except Jim Morrison who as far as I know never talked about it in any interviews. Krieger himself has given at least TWO conflicting stories about his infamous shiner, one that he and Jim got in a fist fight and Jim won, then there was the bar fight version where some cowboy bar patrons who didn't like long haired hippie types jumped Robby and Jim and in the process of the fight Jim took a swing at one of them, missed and hit Robby in the eye. There is a line in the Louis Lamour film 'Conagher' where actor Sam Elliott, sporting his own shiner is asked, "Who gave that to you?" and Elliott replies, "Nobody gave it to me, I earned it!" That line is reputed to have actually came from Robby during one of his many interviews where he was asked about it for the millionth time. John Densmore has always insisted that Krieger got it as the result of a car accident a day or two before the Smother's taping and Ray Manzarek said that Robby ran into a wall.
@@susancioban-dwyer2569 Right you are - I wrote my comment a year before Robby's book came out which I pre-ordered. I thought it was interesting that his shiner was such a thing, and everyone had their own take on it - even Robby who had said previously in an interview years before the book that he and Jim had a fistfight - LOL! Ray's story varied from interview to interview and John had it right on all along. It's funny and interesting to me that so many rockers have been photographed with a black eye including George Harrison, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy (more than once), Bonnie Bramlett on the Delany & Bonnie 'To Bonnie From Delany' album cover (he supposedly smacked her just before the photo shoot!), Mick Jagger hit by a chair in a bar fight, Ronnie Van Zant after a fist fight with Skynyrd guitarist Ed King, also Phil Collins, Van Morrison, John Mellencamp, Steven Tyler, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Richie Hayward, Dickie Betts, Kurt Cobain, Peter Kriss (KISS), Noel Gallagher, others...
@@CiscoDuck Wow that is surprising that so many rockers have had a black eye. First we had the Black-eyed Peas. Now we can form a supergroup of Black Eyed Rockers.
What kills me is that people say he could not or wasn't as good as poet and he thought he was these are obviously people who have never you didn't have to play
Strange Days and Morrison Hotel are my fav albums. And as Robby Kreiger said "Jim's favorite singer was Frank Sinatra. And Jim really liked to croone." So whoever the "Record Store Owner" with the dopey stache is, it IS what Jim Morrison liked to do. Morrison didnt want the strings and horns. That decision was 100% Rothchid making a monetary decision. And Morrison DIDN'T hit out at anything and everything. Wishful Sinful is the song that Jim and his crooning would love.
What's that guy talking about a Latin influence because the Doors were from LA ? I hear nothing Latin in the Doors music whatsoever at all ever ! Must be his own private theory !
They are mostly reffering to Robbie’s Flamenco guitar roots & style listen to latino chrome on American prayer cool song kinda stereo types us east La natives but Jim gets a pass he's be smoking dust with the hommies!🤣
Id say the L.A. Woman album is great blues. But it doesn't have the psychedelia that The Doors are known for. That's why L.A. Woman is not my fav album.
On Wishful Sinful, when Jim says "wishful Sinful wicked blue" is he talking about sadness? A don't know how to translate the word "blue" in this lyrics

What a doors st Christopher's metal ? They weren't Catholic😂😂😂
51:15 Soft Parade album

Can i ask you what is your top 3 Doors songs
che bello beata te 🥲🥲🥲
What a fantastic documentary... Congratulations!!!! Long live Lizard King 🦎
Back in the 1980's , in Wildwood , N.J. , we had a short lived wannabe punk rock band called ''Vic Marrow's Head ! I was always inspired by the Doors music since age 14 in 1967.
I LOVE Spanish Caravan. So eerie. So powerful. Portends doom.
Ray manzarek had a band with his brothers they were from Chicago heavily into the Blues. And for this journalist to say that Jim Morrison was a man that you love to hate Jim Morrison is a man that I would love to have a beer with.
Breakfast where the news is read
Television's children fed.
Unborn living , living dead
Bullet strikes the helmets head.
It's all over,its all over
War is over,war is over ... ... 🖤 🇺🇲
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder 🖤 🎶🎵 🎶
Yea so what. Already know the words

Good documentary. I just wish they focused more time on the Morrison Hotel album
Why do they always have to have a dork who has nothing to do with the band, sitting with a guitar on his knee and pretend to explain how a song is written?
lol. 🖤

"And then Robby would play some bottleneck..."
To SAY it is easy. To DO it is hard.
Robbie Krieger actually played flamenco before he joined the doors!
Robbie's background in flamenco guitar style. That's how
The Latin influence came in.
Best band ever!!

Robbie was in a fight, as per Rays book.
In Robby's book he admitted that the black eye was from a car accident confirmng what Densmore said.

The 21st century version of Back Door Man is Stink Fist by Tool - also an LA band.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TURN THE THREE HOURS OF MAGIC FOR JIM MORRISON BACK ON ...
Fantastic.
The guy with the stache dont have a clue
these dopey critics putting down classic songs
Jeff woods..Robin larose....Vancouver's finest...love their music history and knowledge
Id say the L.A. Woman album is great blues. But it doesn't have the psychedelia that The Doors are known for.
That's why L.A. Woman is not my fav album.

The blue bus as well?
The blue bus from “the end” I mean
@@jaybirdy85 not actually, just wishful Sinful.
The Doors...as explained to pre schoolers.
bellissimo special sulla bandrock più grande del mondo,sarebbe bello doppiata in italiano in inglese ci capisco poco,grazie🥰😍🤩👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
They didnt want a bass player
We want the world and we want it.....NOW! AHHHHHHHHHUH
Soft Parade best. Doors album
WTF is the Stephen Segal wanna be with the painted stache and the head wrap??. LOL!.
If I looked lkke that I'd only want my voice on a documentary.
Shit presentation of great documentary. They put great effort into jamming a thousand adverts into the most annoying spots.
