My favorite band of all time! I have listening to them since the late 60's. Jim Morrison was a Navy brat. He is also a published poet. His music has never gotten old.
Jim was so many things. Anarchist, poet, philosopher, swinger, druggie, rock star, and just about anything you can think of. His life was about pushing against the threshold of reality, and testing the division between life and death. He epitomized the restless 60s. At times he was reckless, and other times almost shy and intellectually captivating. A paradox of extremes. He was busted for exposing himself on stage, but they couldn't prove it, and he was later exonerated. If you ever get the chance, listen to his album with the Doors called 'An American Prayer'. It will give you a clear insight to the guy.
Also of note, they went on The Ed Sullivan show in like 67 and we’re told they had to change the lyrics to Light My Fire. Where they say “baby we couldn’t get much higher.” They were told not to say “higher” but they sang it anyway and got banned from The Ed Sullivan Show. Also so you know, Morrison got arrested for urinating on stage. Indecent exposure for whipping it out and urinating. He was really wasted.
I've loved The Doors for years and Jim Morrison's voice was amazing. You need to also check out Riders on the Storm, People are Strange, Light my Fire, LA Woman and Break on Through. All of which are great. Their stuff is really atmospheric. I'm convinced I like people like Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish today because I found the Doors when I was young.
The way he could switch from smooth crooner to wailing banshee was crazy. His spoken word voice was like a cool breeze and so hypnotic. The Lizard King was one of the best to ever do it.
Jim Morrison was way ahead of his time! He was also one of the sexiest men ever! He was a gifted lyricist and a dynamic performer! He is buried in Paris in the same cemetery as Oscar Wilde who was one of his idols! Great reaction I know you have heard some of their songs you just may not have known it was them! Love that you are looking back at the legends!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
I love the band, but he was a nutbag. He told so many big lies, I don't know how he stayed relevant. I'm glad he did. One hell of a band. His lyrics were top notch.
So,,he was a product of Laurel Canyon,prob MKUltra'd,his father was responsible for the whole Bay of Tonkin debacle which started the Vietnam war,,he had multiple addictions~BUT he was sexy af,had charisma to spare and will be forever remembered young,, 27 years of age.......younger than my youngest son is now🤦♀️
If there was any person who would fake his own death, it would have been this guy. Unlike all the 'Elvis is alive' rumors there is actually some weirdness with his death and it could be possible. Plus as already said, they guy was a pure nut.
The Doors were one of the most influential bands of the 60's. Interesting that you used Tupac in comparison as He and Jim are credited as being two of the best poets of the 'rock age', I would suggest checking out a handful more songs just to become familiar with them and then check out the fantastic movie that Oliver Stone did with Val Kilmer playing Jim, it will answer a lot of the questions surrounding what was going on with all the cops etc...
Jim was arrested more than once for lewd actions onstage. Let’s see, how should I put this without being too graphic? Okay, he exposed his junk. So yeah, he was a “public menace” but he sure could put on an amazing show. I saw The Doors twice in ‘67 before they became famous.
At his best, the best rock frontman ever. Had everything Elvis had PLUS a dangerous edge. In four years they put out 7 iconic albums. You need to do a deep dive on them.
@@editorcj You got it backwards. In the studio, they hired session bassists because the Rhodes bass piano didn't record well. On stage, Ray played the bass piano with his left hand, just as boogie-woogie pianists do.
No. The arrest on stage we saw was is New Haven Connecticut for inciting a riot. The arrest for indecency (miami) came long after the concert was over.
Almost everybody gets the facts & details wrong. The arrest we saw here was a b.s. charge of inciting to riot after being pepper sprayed by the cops backstage. He was arrested while he was telling the audience about it. In Miami, he DID NOT expose himself, though he was saying he was going to. No witnesses said they saw it. There are no pictures of it. Years after his death, he was exonerated.
When Jim got on stage, he ruled the world.... during a song, he would just take off on his own, and the band got so good they could follow his lead wherever he would take them.... Jim was a poet first and then singer.....
Jim Morrison was an agent of chaos. A real shit stirrer. At a lot of their concerts if they were even allowed to put them on, the cops would be waiting in the wings to arrest him for his antics. RIP Jim. We miss you
I was priveleged to see the Doors live in concert in St. Louis in 1968. It was one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen. The place was packed out & Jim Morrison literally had the entire audience mesmerized! Never seen anything like it and in a way it was kind of spooky! I swear he could have had the entire audience do anything he asked! Incredible band & so sad we lost Jim so soon!
OMG you're gonna love the Doors. One of the most iconic groups from the late 60s and early 70s. They were pioneers in creating unique psychedelic, blues and acid rock music. As you've seen Jim was wild and uncontrollable which probably contributed to his early death at age 27. The band got their name from an autobiographical book, ‘Doors of Perception,’ by famous author Aldous Huxley who recounts in it his experiences with psychedelics and its mystical insights.
One of the best bands of all time... The Soft Parade song and album is fucking phenomenal. L.A woman is one of my favorite albums of all time and the self title album is pure gold as well and Strange Days is another one. Honestly they have so much good music. An American Prayer is something very unique and beautiful. "Is everybody in? Is everybody in? Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin." "Wake up!" Do yourself a favor and watch The Doors movie with Val Kilmer, seriously the best movie based on a musician ever made. Also, the keyboardist Ray is such a gem, truly makes their sound along with Jim's unique voice and Robbie is one hell of a guitar player.
Jim was a poet, singer, and revolutionary badass mofo! I was a little jr. hippie and my older friends took me to see the Doors at New Haven Coliseum. The footage you saw of him being taken offstage was from that concert! The New Haven cops were hassling all of us in the audience and Jim having a previous confrontation and being roughed up by them before the show, led him to haranging them with the appropriate EFF the pigs, and putting them down for being the red-necked bullies that they were. The man had no filter and more I.Q. than most, a legend. Peace & Love from Connecticut.
Now you hit my soft spot 😮 this band I fell in love with when I was 12 years old and it's the first band that made me fall in love with music and want to know more about a band😂❤❤ Please bring way more doors on your channel
When you get the chance check out the movie, "The Doors". It stars Val Kilmer as the Lizard King and Meg Ryan is his squeeze. There's a bit part for Billy Idol in it too. FWIW Val sings the songs himself. I think he did a great job and it really tells the story as closely as possible. Just so you know they didn't have a bass player. Ray Manzarek played it on his keyboards. My favorite Doors song.🤩
You’ve heard “Light My Fire” somewhere, even growing up like you did. Their whole debut album is magical. “Break On Through” I think was the first single. “The Crystal Ship” is a beautiful psychedelic dream.
After Jim Morrison passed the members of the doors had taken his recordings of his book an American prayer and put it to music 😮it's mind-blowing good but it's a long listen but I think the door's fans will show up for you on this one❤❤
Jim Morrison is a legend, in my opinion! If u keep going down the Classic rock & Folk rock rabbitholes, it's going to blow ur mind how much amazing music u have missed out on! You should check out Jethro Tull and Joe Cocker!
Jim Morrison was so sexy! I had his poster on my wall in high school. He was also very intelligent and talented. Such a great loss. So many awesome songs for you to rabbit hole on. Check out some news articles on them too. He was arrested for being "too sexy on stage". Gloria, Riders on the Strom, People Are Strange, the list is long bro! Enjoy! Oh yeah, they were banned from Ed Sullivan because Jim didn't change the lyric in Come on Baby Light My Fire. Check that one out!!!
I would think it would be really awesome if you check out the soft parade it'll definitely confuse you but it also makes you understand where Ren gets some of his inspiration from😊
We saw The Door in the Men’s Gym at Long Beach State College on Friday, December 1, 1967. Opening act, Canned Heat. ‘Tis a magical musical memory, still turning in the windmills of my mind.
Jim Morrison was cool AF because he just didn't care and didn't try. He was effortlessly brilliant... but probably not a very good person in all honesty. Nonetheless, their music was legendary and I hope you continue to explore more of it. 💙
Mr Mojo Risin! -his own anagram for his name! The doors and Jim Morrison were my first big love when it comes to music! He is the main reason I have had long hair for the past 3 decades... When I was in my early teens I was infatuated with Jim he was wild and free like nothing I had ever seen... He pretended to have sex on stage, had fights with cops and effed around and found out all the time! He was a poet, a liar, a sexgod and rock prophet. An introvert attentionseeker. A beautifull weirdo shockartist shaman. LOL Jim was just anti establishment. He acted like he was bigger than life and he always pushed back and got on ppls nerves. He was not of this world. Good thing I didn't end up joining club 27. lol I reccomend L.A. Woman i just love the way that track and album roll!
Jim Morrison was an icon. In 1981 over 10 years after he passed, the Doors were still being played on the radio and Jim still made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine the cover caption was 'He's Hot, He's Sexy, He's Dead'.
SO many Doors songs you need to get funky with: My absolute fave (tied with Roadhouse Blues) is *Peace Frog,* but others that you MUST hear for a well-rounded musical education are *Break on Through, Light My Fire, Back Door Man, Hello I Love You, People Are Strange, LA Woman* ...there are just so many more!
They are legend. This is one of their biggest hits. All the girls were more crazy over Jim Morrison than Elvis. You should watch the documentary of his life. People Are Strange is really fantastic. Very psychedelic. It was like a cult thing. The police and state and city leaders thought he was just such a bad influence they would ban them. They also busted him with drugs. Parents were serious about this being the devils music. He also got to where at times he was too messed up to perform. He was truely addicted. I found that to be heartbreaking the way his life ended up.
By 1994 I was two years into a Doors obsession. I wore leather pants in high school 😂. For me it was Riders on the Storm that made me stop and watch Oliver Stones film about the group. I was 12 and life would never be the same. lol
I love seeing youngsters discover the power. Start at the beginning and keep going. I bought the first album from a drugstore before I heard them on the a.m. radio ("Break on Through") and the first time I heard "Light MY Fire" was in a crowded head shop on a busy saturday night in Haight-Ashbury.
The Doors catalogue is one of the greatest musical journeys you will ever go on. They were magical, mysterious, dark, quirky, deep, chaotic, dreamy, interesting, weird, and one of the coolest bands ever. A band packed with extremely talented and highly creative individuals.
BP Val Kilmer did an amazing job playing Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors that the original Doors sit in the theatre and cried. It was such an amazing thing to see just how much he looked like him. Loved the reaction R.I.P to the legends no longer here 🎉🎉🎉
Mr Mojo Risin', (the anagram he came up with from his own name) was what he chose to call himself at times... a hint of the creative genius he was. Definitely check out "The Doors" movie for more insight on the amazing man he was. And thank you for your reaction!
You need to react to the Movie The Doors!!! You'll see and learn a lot about his rise to fame with the band, also check out the songs - People are strange - Light my Fire - Riders on the Storm
Spanish Caravan, Peace Frog is super funky, Crystal Ship, etc. Jim Morrison is the lead singer, Robbie Kruger on guitars and the fab Ray Manzarek on keys. Jim used to really push the envelope when venues insisted on using cops for security. He hated them. lol He got arrested a lot.
Another one of club 27. The definition of sex, drugs, rock and roll. Jim Morrison and the doors are a must listen to just like Tupac, biggie, and Dre are for your side of the street.
Riders on the Storm is a must❤ Jim Morrison one of the greatest front men ever! The Doors one of the greatest rock bands ever 😂 Legendary ❤ The End mesmerizingly beautiful ❤
So...I read an article that talked about this onstage arrest. On December 9th, 1967, Jim Morrison was backstage with a girl, and a police officer didn't know who Morrison was and tried to make him leave. There was an altercation and the police officer pepper sprayed him. Once it was sorted out and the police officer apologized, Jim Morrison went on stage and started talking about it saying if the police could mace him they could mace the audience too and basically causing the crowd to riot. I think the charges were later dropped, but this was not the only time Jim Morrison was arrested for things he did on stage.
Most of their music was moody 60's,but this song is extremely blues oriented.Jim was a rebel,pushing the envelope,and getting in a wee bit of trouble....
"When the Music's Over" is one of their all-time greats. Jim's father was a rear Admiral in the Navy. Never heard his son's music. Never connected with his son.
Jim Morrison was man in love. He was a fantastic poet a rap artist will find songs like LA Woman, Light My Fire, and more hauntingly beautiful. Too many great great artists dies at 27. It’s a real thing check out their music and compare. Its interesting.
Navy Rear Admiral George Steven Morrison was Jim Morrison’s father. He was a military kid too. Jim was every bit as charismatic and iconic as his reputation.
Jim Morrison was crazy lol. But he also had a very high IQ. One of the very few books I've read all the way through was a Jim Morrison biography called "No one here gets out alive". A fantastic book
I believe you said, "this is some, like, Beatles/Micheal Jackson level stuff"!!! Bless your heart, BP!!! You're darling!!! (Comparing Micheal Jackson and the Beatles is like comparing porkchops to broccoli!!! I love your channel!!! You and your family/friends are awesome!!!
Great reaction to the enigma, that's Jim. Brilliant band that tragedy reared its end. Im sure you'll love a song called Roundabout by YES off the Fragile album., it's prog funkadilic enjoy 🙏🎶🎶🎶
Hey brother I really like that your reviewing some of the music that I grew up with. The greatest rock and roll ever made came from that era. You know like Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin. I saw your CCR review. And of course the Doors. Good on ya for expanding your knowledge. I'm proud of you. God bless ❤🇨🇦
Jim Morrison was the definition of put your foot to the metal and never let up once until the wheels fall off. The Doors the Movie by Oliver Stone is mindblowing if not always 100% accurate.
Most rock groups have a bass guitarist and at least one or two other guitarists. The Doors didn't have a bass guitarist (at least not in their live performances) - the bass notes were played on the keyboard by Ray Manzarek. Crazy to hear how full their sound is with just one keyboard player, one guitarist and a drummer
People Are Strange, L A Woman, Riders On The Storm ! All good! Jim Morrison, way ahead of his time! The original psychedelic rock, I bet almost everyone in that video is high as a kite! Cult figure is definitely who Morrison was, also a tortured artist. He had a terrible problem with alcohol abuse and then drugs too. But damn The Doors were so good!
The Soft Parade album is my favorite album. Everything they produced was great. I suggest watching The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl, 1968. My sisters were there 3rd row center. The tickets cost $8.00. The Doors are Iconic. The album Strange Days epitomizes the music of the psychedelic era. Their music continues to live on. Jim Morrison, vocals, lyricist and poet. He was an avid reader, heavily influenced by the beat poets. Ray Manzarek, keyboards Robbie Krieger, Guitarist (classically trained). He wrote Light my Fire John Densmore, percussionist (classically trained). He held his drumsticks in a different way than other drummers did at that time. John and Robbie are the only who are alive.
Hello I found your TH-cam December 2023. I am almost twice your age and you are REACTING to so many of my favorite songs, groups and music. I am thankful. ☆☆
My favorite album is soft parade. I like every single song on that album. It's just amazing. The title song is freaking fantastic. Hope you get a chance to get around to it. A lot of people think that maybe is their most commercial album they sold out but I think it's pretty unique and I really enjoy it Don't get me wrong. I like many of their albums. In fact, I own probably three or four. Please take a deeper dive. These guys have a lot to offer
Love Jim Morrison ❤The whole band was crazy talented! Only 3 band members but sounded like 8 lol. Jim was deep into Spirituality and their name came from one of Jim's favorite writers Aldous Huxley 'Doors of Perception'. Jim was drunk or high for most of his performances and it got worse in the 70s until he passed. Pretty much ALL of their songs are EPIC!! Light my Fire was huge, Love Me 2 Times, Love Her Madly, Break on Through, Peace Frog, Crystal Ship....thank you for your videos!! ❤
Jim Morrison was rebellious, not necessarily against anything in particular, although some of his songs can be considered anti war. His father was an admiral in the Navy and Jim rebelled against him. Jim wrote some indredible lyrics. As a woman of his generation, my girl friends and I thought he was very sexy. Unfortunately, Jim was self destructive, did drugs, but mostly drank to excess.
"The End" might be one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever, especially in tandem with "Riders on the Storm."
Yup! 😊
Absolutely unique song
Might be a bit much for Black P.. 😂
"The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die"
The End is their Magnum opus, but it is very much in the deep end. More art piece than song.
My favorite band of all time! I have listening to them since the late 60's. Jim Morrison was a Navy brat. He is also a published poet. His music has never gotten old.
Greatest third verse ender EVER.
"The future's uncertain and the end is always near."
Jim Morrison was my inspiration for writing poetry.the keyboardest was also the best.more Doors please.
Ya missed the biggest legendary Rock star ever !!!!! ❤
best blues song ever
This guy is worth looking into. I promise.
He was very talented Jim morrison
The Doors are the best American band ever. "When the Music's Over" is unparalleled.
Jim was so many things. Anarchist, poet, philosopher, swinger, druggie, rock star, and just about anything you can think of. His life was about pushing against the threshold of reality, and testing the division between life and death. He epitomized the restless 60s.

He was busted for exposing himself on stage, but they couldn't prove it, and he was later exonerated. If you ever get the chance, listen to his album with the Doors called 'An American Prayer'. It will give you a clear insight to the guy.
Best known tracks would be Light My Fire and Riders on the Storm. Both amazing.
Also of note, they went on The Ed Sullivan show in like 67 and we’re told they had to change the lyrics to Light My Fire. Where they say “baby we couldn’t get much higher.” They were told not to say “higher” but they sang it anyway and got banned from The Ed Sullivan Show. Also so you know, Morrison got arrested for urinating on stage. Indecent exposure for whipping it out and urinating. He was really wasted.
Jumbo could make being arrested look like poetry!!!!
Watch the movie The Doors. Val Kilmer played Jim and it gives you an idea of who Jim Morrison was....
You should look up Snoop dog and Morrison doing Riders on the Storm
LA woman Morrison was a radical I like the Doors a lot but Morrison was out there
I've loved The Doors for years and Jim Morrison's voice was amazing. You need to also check out Riders on the Storm, People are Strange, Light my Fire, LA Woman and Break on Through. All of which are great. Their stuff is really atmospheric. I'm convinced I like people like Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish today because I found the Doors when I was young.
You might also include radio in big d. Also he spent the majority of his time on stage being brilliant performer and tripping his butt off.
Don't forget crystal ship :)
Throw in 5 to 1 as well.
Maybe The End too
The way he could switch from smooth crooner to wailing banshee was crazy. His spoken word voice was like a cool breeze and so hypnotic. The Lizard King was one of the best to ever do it.
Jim Morrison was way ahead of his time! He was also one of the sexiest men ever! He was a gifted lyricist and a dynamic performer! He is buried in Paris in the same cemetery as Oscar Wilde who was one of his idols! Great reaction I know you have heard some of their songs you just may not have known it was them! Love that you are looking back at the legends!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
I agree he was ahead of his time but could he b who he was today?
I love the band, but he was a nutbag. He told so many big lies, I don't know how he stayed relevant. I'm glad he did. One hell of a band. His lyrics were top notch.
So,,he was a product of Laurel Canyon,prob MKUltra'd,his father was responsible for the whole Bay of Tonkin debacle which started the Vietnam war,,he had multiple addictions~BUT he was sexy af,had charisma to spare and will be forever remembered young,, 27 years of age.......younger than my youngest son is now🤦♀️
If there was any person who would fake his own death, it would have been this guy. Unlike all the 'Elvis is alive' rumors there is actually some weirdness with his death and it could be possible. Plus as already said, they guy was a pure nut.
Père Lachaise cemetery. Also, the resting place of Chopin, Edith Piaf, Abelard and Heloise, and Molière.
The Doors "LIGHT MY FIRE" and "RIDERS ON THE STORM" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

At his best, the best rock frontman ever. Had everything Elvis had PLUS a dangerous edge. In four years they put out 7 iconic albums. You need to do a deep dive on them.
I’ll respond by saying (IMO) 3 best frontmen ever to hit the rock world stage are Jim Morrison, Robert Plant and Ian Anderson!!!!
Don’t disagree with any of these front men but I don’t believe any list of Rock front men can be considered complete without Freddie Mercury
James Douglas Morrison, the legend, the master, the Lizard King, the American poet
The Doors...the coolest band in rock history......they didnt even need a bass player, thats how badass they are
Not in the core band but they hired one for shows. For recording the keyboard player played the bass lines.
@@editorcj You got it backwards. In the studio, they hired session bassists because the Rhodes bass piano didn't record well. On stage, Ray played the bass piano with his left hand, just as boogie-woogie pianists do.
Jim was arrested at one of his concerts for indecency on stage when he pulled out private part
Great reaction ❤
Because he was an idiot
No. The arrest on stage we saw was is New Haven Connecticut for inciting a riot. The arrest for indecency (miami) came long after the concert was over.
@@yankeeapple5615The New Haven arrest was about Jim with an "underage" girl in the dressing room.
@carolynmorrissye1630 It might have been better if he would have prefaced that by saying "Pardon me while I whip this out!"
Almost everybody gets the facts & details wrong. The arrest we saw here was a b.s. charge of inciting to riot after being pepper sprayed by the cops backstage. He was arrested while he was telling the audience about it.

To say he is a wild man is an understatement. There are books and movies about his life.
Dionysus incarnate
Jim Morrison was an agent of chaos. A real shit stirrer. At a lot of their concerts if they were even allowed to put them on, the cops would be waiting in the wings to arrest him for his antics. RIP Jim. We miss you
You have a whole epic journey to go with Jimmy and The Doors. He was also a fantastic poet! Riders on the Storm is an epic must
Please do more Doors. Fantastic band and there will never be another Jim Morrison.

Check out Morrison Hotel fantastic album love The Doors
And Aldous Huxley got the 'doors of perception' from William Blake
One of the best bands of all time...
The Soft Parade song and album is fucking phenomenal. L.A woman is one of my favorite albums of all time and the self title album is pure gold as well and Strange Days is another one. Honestly they have so much good music. An American Prayer is something very unique and beautiful.
"Is everybody in?

Do yourself a favor and watch The Doors movie with Val Kilmer, seriously the best movie based on a musician ever made.
Also, the keyboardist Ray is such a gem, truly makes their sound along with Jim's unique voice and Robbie is one hell of a guitar player.

From New Haven too.

I woke up this morning, got myself a beer. The future’s uncertain, the end is always near. Let it roll, baby, roll!
Jim Morrison was the Dionysis of rock 'n' roll!!! Anything you listen to by the doors is amazing
Oh man! You just keep bringing that 🔥🔥🔥! Jim Morrison was something special! His poetry was deep AF too, btw.
Now you hit my soft spot 😮 this band I fell in love with when I was 12 years old and it's the first band that made me fall in love with music and want to know more about a band😂❤❤ Please bring way more doors on your channel
Yeah, me too. ❤
Light My Fire
Lord have mercy Jim was so freaking good lookin
When you get the chance check out the movie, "The Doors". It stars Val Kilmer as the Lizard King and Meg Ryan is his squeeze. There's a bit part for Billy Idol in it too.
FWIW Val sings the songs himself. I think he did a great job and it really tells the story as closely as possible.
Just so you know they didn't have a bass player. Ray Manzarek played it on his keyboards.
My favorite Doors song.🤩
When Ray Manzarek heard Val Kilmer singing in the studio, he thought it was Jim. Val's performance was truly remarkable.
Wasn’t a big fan of The Doors before I watched the movie. After watching the movie I was hooked. Jim was the man.
You’ve heard “Light My Fire” somewhere, even growing up like you did. Their whole debut album is magical. “Break On Through” I think was the first single. “The Crystal Ship” is a beautiful psychedelic dream.
💙💙💙💙💙
That movie was horrible.
Yes, Jim iS a ROCKSTAR . His words run deep.
The Doors - “The End”
is one of the most iconic songs of the 1960’s. Make sure you do a long version.
Totally agree. Ultimate classic rock from the 60's
After Jim Morrison passed the members of the doors had taken his recordings of his book an American prayer and put it to music 😮it's mind-blowing good but it's a long listen but I think the door's fans will show up for you on this one❤❤
Jim Morrison is a legend, in my opinion! If u keep going down the Classic rock & Folk rock rabbitholes, it's going to blow ur mind how much amazing music u have missed out on! You should check out Jethro Tull and Joe Cocker!
Joe Crocker for sure!
Jim was one of the best Poets in the world.His sexiness and vocals are like none other.L.A. Woman is amazing❤
Jim Morrison was of a different breed. He was 🔥
Jim Morrison was so sexy! I had his poster on my wall in high school. He was also very intelligent and talented. Such a great loss. So many awesome songs for you to rabbit hole on. Check out some news articles on them too. He was arrested for being "too sexy on stage". Gloria, Riders on the Strom, People Are Strange, the list is long bro! Enjoy! Oh yeah, they were banned from Ed Sullivan because Jim didn't change the lyric in Come on Baby Light My Fire. Check that one out!!!
"Peace Frog" is another brilliant funky track by the Doors
I would think it would be really awesome if you check out the soft parade it'll definitely confuse you but it also makes you understand where Ren gets some of his inspiration from😊

Jim Morrison was the sexiest man to ever walk the face of the earth.
Stop that, Mr. Magoo, Waldo, Fred Mertz, Beetlejuice, Ingelbert Humperdinck, Alfalfa, Deputy Droopalong, break on through to the other dudes.
Jim Morrison was cool AF because he just didn't care and didn't try. He was effortlessly brilliant... but probably not a very good person in all honesty. Nonetheless, their music was legendary and I hope you continue to explore more of it. 💙
Yes, lol in hindsight...but he was HIM back then

He pretended to have sex on stage, had fights with cops and effed around and found out all the time! He was a poet, a liar, a sexgod and rock prophet. An introvert attentionseeker. A beautifull weirdo shockartist shaman. LOL
Jim was just anti establishment. He acted like he was bigger than life and he always pushed back and got on ppls nerves. He was not of this world.
Good thing I didn't end up joining club 27. lol
I reccomend L.A. Woman i just love the way that track and album roll!
“The crystal ship “ is one of my very faves. Have a listen.
Genius, drunk, probably stoned a lot, absolutely crazy, just the kind of person I want to party with.
The Crystal Ship, and Moonlight Drive. ❤❤❤
Jim Morrison was an icon. In 1981 over 10 years after he passed, the Doors were still being played on the radio and Jim still made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine the cover caption was 'He's Hot, He's Sexy, He's Dead'.
I sill have that issue
The Doors is a rabbit hole def worth checking out 😉 gotta get on some Janis Joplin too..... man the 60s were 🔥 AF!!! Much ❤ 🙋♀️
SO many Doors songs you need to get funky with: My absolute fave (tied with Roadhouse Blues) is *Peace Frog,* but others that you MUST hear for a well-rounded musical education are *Break on Through, Light My Fire, Back Door Man, Hello I Love You, People Are Strange, LA Woman* ...there are just so many more!
They are legend. This is one of their biggest hits. All the girls were more crazy over Jim Morrison than Elvis. You should watch the documentary of his life. People Are Strange is really fantastic. Very psychedelic. It was like a cult thing. The police and state and city leaders thought he was just such a bad influence they would ban them. They also busted him with drugs. Parents were serious about this being the devils music. He also got to where at times he was too messed up to perform. He was truely addicted. I found that to be heartbreaking the way his life ended up.
He famously didn't wear any underwear under those leather pants, and didn't he drop his pants at some point on stage? In the 60s.
I'm a baby boomer born in 1955 so I was a teen when the doors... I loved their song light my 🔥 and riders on the storm...
I was born the same year. The Doors are still my playlist. My sister’s too.
By 1994 I was two years into a Doors obsession. I wore leather pants in high school 😂. For me it was Riders on the Storm that made me stop and watch Oliver Stones film about the group. I was 12 and life would never be the same. lol
I love seeing youngsters discover the power.
Start at the beginning and keep going.
I bought the first album from a drugstore before I heard them on the a.m. radio ("Break on Through") and the first time I heard "Light MY Fire" was in a crowded head shop on a busy saturday night in Haight-Ashbury.
Biggest song is "Light my Fire".
The Doors catalogue is one of the greatest musical journeys you will ever go on.
They were magical, mysterious, dark, quirky, deep, chaotic, dreamy, interesting, weird, and one of the coolest bands ever.
A band packed with extremely talented and highly creative individuals.
More Doors reactions please.legendary stuff 👌🏻
Doors were great. 20 + great songs. 4+ very good albums.
BP Val Kilmer did an amazing job playing Jim Morrison in the movie The Doors that the original Doors sit in the theatre and cried. It was such an amazing thing to see just how much he looked like him. Loved the reaction R.I.P to the legends no longer here 🎉🎉🎉
Yes! The Doors! ❤️
Edit: I recommend The End by the Doors. Also, their music was featured in the Vietnam War film Apocalypse Now.
I am in my 70's and grew up on all this great music. I'm really enjoying watching a new generation discover this music. 👍
Me too! I love seeing their reactions!
@@latachia_2981yes it’s addictive
Mr Mojo Risin', (the anagram he came up with from his own name) was what he chose to call himself at times... a hint of the creative genius he was. Definitely check out "The Doors" movie for more insight on the amazing man he was. And thank you for your reaction!
You need to react to the Movie The Doors!!! You'll see and learn a lot about his rise to fame with the band, also check out the songs - People are strange - Light my Fire - Riders on the Storm
Spanish Caravan, Peace Frog is super funky, Crystal Ship, etc. Jim Morrison is the lead singer, Robbie Kruger on guitars and the fab Ray Manzarek on keys. Jim used to really push the envelope when venues insisted on using cops for security. He hated them. lol He got arrested a lot.
Another one of club 27. The definition of sex, drugs, rock and roll. Jim Morrison and the doors are a must listen to just like Tupac, biggie, and Dre are for your side of the street.
Riders on the Storm is a must❤ Jim Morrison one of the greatest front men ever! The Doors one of the greatest rock bands ever 😂 Legendary ❤ The End mesmerizingly beautiful ❤
So...I read an article that talked about this onstage arrest. On December 9th, 1967, Jim Morrison was backstage with a girl, and a police officer didn't know who Morrison was and tried to make him leave. There was an altercation and the police officer pepper sprayed him. Once it was sorted out and the police officer apologized, Jim Morrison went on stage and started talking about it saying if the police could mace him they could mace the audience too and basically causing the crowd to riot. I think the charges were later dropped, but this was not the only time Jim Morrison was arrested for things he did on stage.
Most of their music was moody 60's,but this song is extremely blues oriented.Jim was a rebel,pushing the envelope,and getting in a wee bit of trouble....
He did have a protest song for the Vietnam war called universal soldier that 1 I would watch at the live concert Hollywood bowl
The Unknown Soldier.
Anything n everything from the Doors. The guy was light years ahead. Do whole album Absolutely Live. Brilliant
"When the Music's Over" is one of their all-time greats. Jim's father was a rear Admiral in the Navy. Never heard his son's music. Never connected with his son.
You absolutely need to listen to Skrillex and the remaining members of The Doors remixing Light My Fire it'll blow your mind away❤
If u could only pick 1 person as the image of the ideal frontman who truly embraced sex, drugs and rock n roll it’ll probably be Jim Morrison.
We need "WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER"!! A life experience.
Jim Morrison was man in love. He was a fantastic poet a rap artist will find songs like LA Woman, Light My Fire, and more hauntingly beautiful. Too many great great artists dies at 27. It’s a real thing check out their music and compare. Its interesting.
Navy Rear Admiral George Steven Morrison was Jim Morrison’s father. He was a military kid too. Jim was every bit as charismatic and iconic as his reputation.
Jim Morrison was crazy lol. But he also had a very high IQ. One of the very few books I've read all the way through was a Jim Morrison biography called "No one here gets out alive". A fantastic book
I believe you said, "this is some, like, Beatles/Micheal Jackson level stuff"!!!
Bless your heart, BP!!! You're darling!!!
(Comparing Micheal Jackson and the Beatles is like comparing porkchops to broccoli!!!
I love your channel!!! You and your family/friends are awesome!!!
Great reaction to the enigma, that's Jim. Brilliant band that tragedy reared its end. Im sure you'll love a song called Roundabout by YES off the Fragile album., it's prog funkadilic enjoy 🙏🎶🎶🎶
The future's uncertain and the end is always near. 🚨⚡🚨
Jay-Z ‘’Takeover’’ The doors 5 to 1….The End.. When The Musics Over.. Strange Days.. Not To Touch The Earth…
Hey brother I really like that your reviewing some of the music that I grew up with. The greatest rock and roll ever made came from that era. You know like Beatles and the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin. I saw your CCR review. And of course the Doors. Good on ya for expanding your knowledge. I'm proud of you. God bless ❤🇨🇦
This was my late husband's favorite band. People are strange is a great follow up. Or Riders in the storm.
Jim Morrison was the definition of put your foot to the metal and never let up once until the wheels fall off. The Doors the Movie by Oliver Stone is mindblowing if not always 100% accurate.
They gott tons af hits.
Realy great.
Most rock groups have a bass guitarist and at least one or two other guitarists. The Doors didn't have a bass guitarist (at least not in their live performances) - the bass notes were played on the keyboard by Ray Manzarek. Crazy to hear how full their sound is with just one keyboard player, one guitarist and a drummer
Great job!
Check out the Monterey Festival…in Cali…June ‘67 for more cool music!🎶🎶🎶
People Are Strange, L A Woman, Riders On The Storm ! All good! Jim Morrison, way ahead of his time! The original psychedelic rock, I bet almost everyone in that video is high as a kite! Cult figure is definitely who Morrison was, also a tortured artist. He had a terrible problem with alcohol abuse and then drugs too. But damn The Doors were so good!
The Soft Parade album is my favorite album. Everything they produced was great. I suggest watching The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl, 1968. My sisters were there 3rd row center. The tickets cost $8.00. The Doors are Iconic. The album Strange Days epitomizes the music of the psychedelic era. Their music continues to live on.
Jim Morrison, vocals, lyricist and poet. He was an avid reader, heavily influenced by the beat poets.
Ray Manzarek, keyboards
Robbie Krieger, Guitarist (classically trained). He wrote Light my Fire
John Densmore, percussionist (classically trained). He held his drumsticks in a different way than other drummers did at that time.
John and Robbie are the only who are alive.
Hello I found your TH-cam December 2023. I am almost twice your age and you are REACTING to so many of my favorite songs, groups and music. I am thankful. ☆☆
My favorite album is soft parade. I like every single song on that album. It's just amazing. The title song is freaking fantastic. Hope you get a chance to get around to it. A lot of people think that maybe is their most commercial album they sold out but I think it's pretty unique and I really enjoy it
Don't get me wrong. I like many of their albums. In fact, I own probably three or four. Please take a deeper dive. These guys have a lot to offer
Love Jim Morrison ❤The whole band was crazy talented! Only 3 band members but sounded like 8 lol. Jim was deep into Spirituality and their name came from one of Jim's favorite writers Aldous Huxley 'Doors of Perception'. Jim was drunk or high for most of his performances and it got worse in the 70s until he passed. Pretty much ALL of their songs are EPIC!! Light my Fire was huge, Love Me 2 Times, Love Her Madly, Break on Through, Peace Frog, Crystal Ship....thank you for your videos!! ❤
Jim Morrison was rebellious, not necessarily against anything in particular, although some of his songs can be considered anti war. His father was an admiral in the Navy and Jim rebelled against him. Jim wrote some indredible lyrics. As a woman of his generation, my girl friends and I thought he was very sexy. Unfortunately, Jim was self destructive, did drugs, but mostly drank to excess.
