Which band should I cover for this series next? Just so y'all know, I prefer to cover a band that is no longer together. Also, don't forget to check out 12tone's video analyzing "People Are Strange:" th-cam.com/video/XQVjylcUH6k/w-d-xo.html
The Police would be a great one because of their tight and solid catalogue and their interesting incorporation of reggae and later leading into a shift to more coloring but yet grotesque compositions of pop rock.
@@mattbeatgoeson And they only used to hire talented bands from live shows. Now they want to own the personality and the song writing. Individual creativity is not a positive selection criteria. They want fronts for the pulp they sell. Luv and Peace.
why can't it be both lol? Robbie was the doors, this is the doors before Robbie Joined, that classic doors trance is from the drone bass line ray plays and Robbie's Dorian, Phrygian and mixolydian licks th-cam.com/video/T2rgruLoYew/w-d-xo.html
I used to be fascinated with Jim Morrison, the older I get, the more I find Ray was the real thing unique about the band. You didn't hear keyboard solos like that from any bands of the era and it gave the doors a very specific and unique feel. All of them are brilliant
Fun fact: Jim was drunk at a party and talked with Janis Joplin but by the end of the party due to him being very drunk and being a bit of a jerk he had a bottle smashed against his head by her.
@@mattbeatgoeson It was great! There was a lot of information here that I didn’t know like what happened in Europe with Jim on stage. Really solid video as always! ☺️
I was such a Morrison Head I fully expected to die at 27. I made a a masterful effort at doing so taking every drug under the sun as often as possible and ended up in Mental hospital at 23. A couple of years of various therapies (including ECT) and I wised up and started seeking life properly. I went back to Uni and got a good job. My mates took the piss when I turned 28 but I think they were as glad as I was... Luv and Peace.
What a year 1967 was for rock n roll and psychedelic music in this year we had Sgt pepper by the beatles and Pink Floyds debut piper at the gates of dawn and also The Doors self title debut and all of them are masterpieces havent watched this video yet but thanks for making this mr beat specially for a legendary band and one of my favourite singers of all time Jim Morrison Edit:Ok GuysI know I missed so many other albums dont fight over it 😅😅
I still think it's wild that Jim Morrison's dad was the commanding officer at the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. History is full of crazy little coincidences like that!
And so original, full of creativity and ideas. These days we get songs like WAP and Taylor Swift, who I probably would recognize but I don't know the title of....
The Oliver Stone 1991 Doors film was actually THE SECOND resurgence in the band's popularity. The band had been launched back into public consciousness with the stunning opening sequence of 1979 movie Apocalypse Now, featuring the group's epic track, "The End." Consequently, in October 1980, Elektra Records released The Doors Greatest Hits. Compounded by this greatest hits release as well as the 1980 publication of Morrison biography, "No One Here Gets Out Alive," the Doors were suddenly one of the hottest acts of the year. In 1981, Rolling Stone magazine published a legendary issue of the magazine, featuring Morrison on the cover next to the provocative tag line, "He's hot, he's sexy, and he's dead."
Jim was so friggin’ hot in that black leather outfit in The Ed Sullivan show. His bad-boy pose at the end is epic! Dude had swag and he wasn’t even trying.
Patti Smith apparently would go into record labels office and swipe food from press events. One time, she did this and found out she wasn’t alone in the room. It was Jim Morrison in the room alone watching her sneak around getting food. He told her “ Get a bunch of the meat pies. They’re delicious”
I was an enormous Doors fan around age 12-13. I fell for the lizard king mystique of Morrison and thought the music was hypnotic and fascinating. I got over that but I think there's something special that happened with that band at that time in history.
It's so cool you made an in depth video on The Doors, Matt. As a musician personally myself, Jim Morrison's one of my very biggest sources of inspiration, lol. They were so ahead of their very time. The music in their anthology to me has such a relevant quality to it.
@jesusislight777 Yes, you're correct in many respects, but for me lots of different thematic points in their music focused more heavily on parts of individualism rather than just exclusively on both optimism as with community. That reduces their merits to nostalgia simplicity, in my opinion. The Doors particularly Morrison seemed to be far deeper than both, "smile and just be happy." Keep in mind, Jim Morrison wore leather pants, cowboy boots and used alcohol more than anything else which I know those're very rough generalizations (Doesn't make me in any way think less of him along with some of the more controversial events in his life), but still. I believe it'd be misplaced to look at him strictly through the hippie ascetic's lenses. So many bands of that era were mainly "feel good" Folk whereas they discussed some of the darkest topics knowable, lol. It was so empowering. Performing acts ought to experiment with challenging social norms as realistically as possible or at least to me, there's really no point to even cogel and record music.
I've always been a huge fan of Ray Manzarek and seeing a video like this really makes my day! Thank you Mr Beat and keep up the good work. I am looking forward to more music history videos
9:12 Fun Fact: The Doors’ singer bowl performance and the subsequent chaos that ensued served as the inspiration for the song Sally Simpson from Tommy, The Who’s 1969 Double Album Rock Opera.
Morrison Hotel was the first album I heard, on 8track. I never will understand why Blue Sunday is not recognized as one of their greatest songs ever recorded. Even after all these years I hear that song and I hear 4 artist at their best, the same way I feel when I hear the Rover by Zep or Golden Slumbers. I don't know maybe Strange but I have been a huge Doors fan for most my life and have been playing music most of my life. Infact I'm such a huge fan I have already made plans for Blue Sunday to be the only song played at my funeral.
The Doors sounded very Latin too. Krieger’s Spanish sounding guitars and Manzerik’s bass lines make this quite evident. No surprise that that sound came out of Southern California.
The Doors have been my favorite band since discovering them in 1993. I was 12 and in those days music club ads were at their peak. Ordered The Best of double disc of them. From the first section of Break on Through they had a fan for life. My generation loved this band. We were all born 5-15 years after they broke up and Morrison died. Just a timeless collection of true art. The BMG music club was the gateway for access to all those 60s and 70s music.
I was fortunate enough to buy an origianl copy of their self titled album a few yeaes ago. Definitely worth the price of $60. The vinyl lookee like it was varely used throughout its 67 years. It still plays beautifuly. Doesnt scratch, skip or repeat at all. In my opinion, this is their best album , change ny mind. Long live Jim and Ray
I feel jebaited by the title, was looking for something like the last few minutes of the video than a full history of their success and style and evolution of their music…
I'm so glad I found this channel. I love the Doors, so I clicked. Then I heard your voice! I'm like "I know that voice." I looked at the name of the channel....clever! Thank's neighbor! LFK
Back in 1992, I worked for a company which had an employee named--I am NOT kidding--Jim Morrison. Even after he left the company, it became a running joke there that, if a Doors song came up on a radio station, someone would say " Jim Morrison, dial the operator..."
one of the best music related channels on youtube, love your videos and the bands you picked so far and can't wait for the next ones(would love a video about the white stripes if possible)! keep up the amazing work!
Because I'm someone who also loves and adores The Doors, this WAS A STELLAR VIDEO. I hope to one day make videos as good as this someday on my channel 😀 Great video dude! 😎👍🏾
I did think it was an odd coincidence to see two videos about the Doors pop up in my TH-cam feed at exactly the same time. I thought maybe they dug up Jim's grave in Paris and I hadn't heard about it yet and now everybody's getting inspired to do Doors content?
I got sent over here from 12 Tone. As I mentioned over there, my favourite song is "Touch me", but I'm not sure about album. It's been a minute since I listened to them like that, you know, album by album. "LA Woman" is the one that springs to mind, but don't hold me too it! ps, also, I subbed. I took a look at your own back catalog, and there's a bunch of things I'm interested in, so...subbed! xD
Been waiting for this video for a while! The Doors are my favorite band! I think a video on Creedence Clearwater Revival would be really good! Love all your vids!
Bad Click Bait! I thought I would learn how The Doors were somehow a transition band in rock music, instead I get a mini recap of The Doors music career by some guy doing a Seth Myers' impersonation.
they literally said the doors had a huge impact during the counterculture movement of the late 60's, mostly due to Morrison's rebelious nature and desire to do things differently. they also said how they incorporated elements of r&b, blues and jazz to their dark rock sound, making them stand out from other bands. someone didnt watch the end of the video...
@@cris-qd4wf That still doesn't answer the question. That just says what made The Doors good and interesting. Don't get me wrong - I loved the Doors growing up. But rock and roll didn't take a hard right turn just because of The Doors. And "huge" impact? Compared to Dylan, The Stones? Heck, you can look at a lot of seventies hard rock and draw a straight line back to Hendrix. Where do the Doors fit?
@@josa720 "thats what makes the Doors good and interesting" isnt that the same thing though? how can a band be influential if they arent good? i dont know why you felt the need to make a sudden unnecessary comparision, when i never mentioned those artists. considering that the "big bands" of that time were mostly English, the Doors helped to propel the american name of rock, they certainly didnt bring a setback
If you are a Doors junkie, the book No One Here Gets Out Alive is must read. It chronicles the Doors from beginning to th death of Jim. The movie is good, but Ray said the missing part was laughter. "It was the 60's, and everyone was laughing".
I really liked the Doors as a strapping young lad. And my eldest daughter fell in love with the Doors. I did my best to never discourage her from playing their music.
I don't grok music theory. Not one iota. But I can't stop watching these videos. No matter what the pieces and parts are called, and no matter what they mean, seeing them isolated and called out greatly informs my ear (if not my brain). Fantastic audio editing, BTW. The best part? The drawn figures add a subtext that draws me in (so to speak), neatly bridging my ignorance of music theory without diminishing its importance.
Just read "Set the Night on Fire" by Robby Krieger, which is brilliant and sets the record straight on a number of Doors myths (largely propagated by Ray Manzarek and taken to a whole new fictional level by Oliver Stone). For example, he dismisses the claim that they were ever banned from the Whisky a Go Go. Anyway, highly recommended reading - truth is stranger than fiction and nearly always more interesting, especially when it comes to rock bands!
I also just finished "The Police Diaries" by Stewart Copeland - equally brilliant. Would be cool to see a fresh video about The Police and their unlikely origins (jazz meets prog meets punk meets reggae).
HELL MF YEAAA!!! John Densmore was one of my early influences for drumming! Would love a video on Deep Purple or Beck, Bogert, and Appice or even the Jeff Beck Group
I'm working on an episode about Janis Joplin right now. The crossover between her and the Doors is super fascinating. Can't wait to check this video out
As a kid growing up in the '60s, I heard The Doors on the radio but was too young to understand what they were about. Then I bought "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" in '72 and was hooked. I still have it in my collection. I think I bought it in Alexander's or maybe Sam Goody. Now get off my lawn!
Peace Frog and Texas Radio and the Big Beat. I have a vinyl of my father’s, “Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine”. A best of I think. These two are on it. I totally love The Doors and their style. Neither could have happened without the other.
Mr Beat, Firstly, from someone who isn’t such a big Doors fan, excellent video. You got me checking out some of there songs. Have you ever listened to Andrew Hickey’s 500 songs of rock n roll podcast. It’s a fascinating podcast with all these interesting stories from all these different artist in the 20th Century. I’d think you’d really like it
Which band should I cover for this series next?
Just so y'all know, I prefer to cover a band that is no longer together.
Also, don't forget to check out 12tone's video analyzing "People Are Strange:" th-cam.com/video/XQVjylcUH6k/w-d-xo.html
Joy Division
Heck yes @@oliver29731
The Cure?
The Police would be a great one because of their tight and solid catalogue and their interesting incorporation of reggae and later leading into a shift to more coloring but yet grotesque compositions of pop rock.
OK idk if you like death metal but how about you do the band death that band was cool definitely check em out
I find it fascinating how bands like The Beatles, The Doors, Queen and The Clash all recorded so much stuff in such short periods of time.
Creativity often happens in bursts.
@@mattbeatgoeson And they only used to hire talented bands from live shows.
Now they want to own the personality and the song writing.
Individual creativity is not a positive selection criteria.
They want fronts for the pulp they sell.
Luv and Peace.
My two favorite bands are The Doors and The Clash.
Creedence Clearwater Revival could be added to the list.
@@djquinn11 Doors & Uriah Heep, here. In that order.
Robby Krieger always looks like he's about to either sneeze or pass out
why can't it be both lol?
Robbie was the doors, this is the doors before Robbie Joined, that classic doors trance is from the drone bass line ray plays and Robbie's Dorian, Phrygian and mixolydian licks th-cam.com/video/T2rgruLoYew/w-d-xo.html
Robby became a heroin addict in the 90s. Took him awhile to kick the habit
He started to look like Maurice Gibb, too.
Now he kind of looks like Richard Page, but older.
I used to be fascinated with Jim Morrison, the older I get, the more I find Ray was the real thing unique about the band. You didn't hear keyboard solos like that from any bands of the era and it gave the doors a very specific and unique feel. All of them are brilliant
This is how I feel about Richard Wright from Pink Floyd as well.
@@joeyboy1002377 makes sense
The keyboard is bonkers, but you can’t deny Morrison’s artistry. I’m equally fascinated by both.
Robbie and john are always neglected lmao.
Robbie was bad ass and of course Jim and Densmore, and Ray were epic
Fun fact: Jim was drunk at a party and talked with Janis Joplin but by the end of the party due to him being very drunk and being a bit of a jerk he had a bottle smashed against his head by her.
I didn't know about that!
@@mattbeatgoesonthis guy sold me fentanyl
I remember reading that in the book, she was quite upset with him
@@gunsiinger19 Yo me too dude!
Southern comfort of course. Janis's favorite
THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!
I seriously LOVE The Doors
I hope you approve of how this one turned out!
@@mattbeatgoeson It was great! There was a lot of information here that I didn’t know like what happened in Europe with Jim on stage.
Really solid video as always! ☺️

17:00 the syringe confetti while explaining Morrison’s heroin overdose is CRAZY
What a year 1967 was for rock n roll and psychedelic music in this year we had Sgt pepper by the beatles and Pink Floyds debut piper at the gates of dawn and also The Doors self title debut and all of them are masterpieces havent watched this video yet but thanks for making this mr beat specially for a legendary band and one of my favourite singers of all time Jim Morrison
Edit:Ok GuysI know I missed so many other albums dont fight over it 😅😅
The year music dramatically changed.
and dont forget Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?" changing the way the electric guitar was used forever
@@tadpole3924 Damn I forgot him so many great music in just one year also I should add Cream as well Disraeli Gears
Also Janis at Monterey.
And Axis: Bold As Love
it's such a sad story about The Doors' history, thank you for covering this story
Thanks for watching!
One of the greatest bands to ever form and music together
I still think it's wild that Jim Morrison's dad was the commanding officer at the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. History is full of crazy little coincidences like that!
What a legacy. Kind of makes sense when Jim used to say he was an orphan.
No he wasn't. That's a popular myth but it's not accurate. He wasn't even in the area at the time. He was off Japan.
And so original, full of creativity and ideas. These days we get songs like WAP and Taylor Swift, who I probably would recognize but I don't know the title of....
No, he wasn't. He was CO on the USS Bon Homme Richard and was cruising off of Japan during the incident.
Jim was not close to his father because his father did not want him to have a career in the arts. Still don't know why Jim hated his mom
The Doors has to be the greatest name of a band ever, nothing represents their music better then doors opening your eyes to infinity

Favourite lp, the eponymous debut "The Doors". Favourite song "Yes, The River Knows". But there are so many great songs...
I like a lot 'the crystal ship'...and on a desert island I'd be happy to listen to 'absolutely live'

Awesome video! Heroes comes, and heroes go just as fast.
RIP Jim Morrison and Raymond Manzarek
Been waiting a long time for this. Huge W
I love playing Don’t You Love Her Madly on the drums.
Big fan of the doors and your channel, been waiting for this video for a while now it is awesome!
Always loved this band with their psychedelic/carnival/circus sound. Was heavily played by my local radio station growing up in the 80s.
I feel jebaited by the title, was looking for something like the last few minutes of the video than a full history of their success and style and evolution of their music…
Throughly enjoy these videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
The doors is the greatest American band of all time…. That is all
I've been waiting for this!!!!
Love this band!
I'm so happy that youngins already know about them. lol
It's amazing that they made all that great music in such a short period of time.

I was waiting so long for this :’)
only god knows how much i love the Doors😭😭😭😭live laugh the doors am so happy you made this video just on time thank youu
In my opinion, "Peace Frog" is one of the hottest songs never/rarely played on the radio...awesome song !
Kreiger and Densmore don’t get enough credit - they are both amazing musicians
True
one of the best music related channels on youtube, love your videos and the bands you picked so far and can't wait for the next ones(would love a video about the white stripes if possible)! keep up the amazing work!
My absolute favorite band,That I can't start my day without hearing them.

It was fook n fun bud
Hey we have the history , kinda like being there

I did Riders on the Storm years ago at a karaoke bar. Needless to say that is my favorite Doors song. Great vid!
I've been waiting so long for this video. The Doors is one of my favourite ones. Keep it pure, Mr. Beat!
I'm working on an episode about Janis Joplin right now. The crossover between her and the Doors is super fascinating. Can't wait to check this video out
As a kid growing up in the '60s, I heard The Doors on the radio but was too young to understand what they were about. Then I bought "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" in '72 and was hooked. I still have it in my collection. I think I bought it in Alexander's or maybe Sam Goody. Now get off my lawn!
That’s a funny ending Sir
Peace Frog and Texas Radio and the Big Beat. I have a vinyl of my father’s, “Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine”. A best of I think. These two are on it. I totally love The Doors and their style. Neither could have happened without the other.
Finally you did it, thankyou so much
This is why Mr.Beat is one of the greatest
I just realized this was his channel too 😢😢😢😢
i live for a brief history on a friday at school🙏🏽
I love each of your videos!
Great video.
The most unique band, my favourite of all time
Mr Beat,
Firstly, from someone who isn’t such a big Doors fan, excellent video. You got me checking out some of there songs.
Have you ever listened to Andrew Hickey’s 500 songs of rock n roll podcast. It’s a fascinating podcast with all these interesting stories from all these different artist in the 20th Century.
I’d think you’d really like it
