Keep in mind, this was their 1st record, side 1, track 1. This was the world's introduction to the Doors. Hell of a way to make an entrance fellas! This was like kicking the door in on the music scene at the time. Nothing sounded like this. No one looked like this. No one made the ladies (and some gents Im sure) squirm like this. This was raw, visceral, powerful, and energetic.
Gen X was the last generation to buy an album, run to your room and just immerse yourself in it over and over again ❤ That's how music should be experienced 🤷🏻♀️
@@SGED392 I've thought for years that Peace Frog would make an awesome rap number. I suggested it to a young rapper I was conversing with at a dispensary.
RIP Ray Manzerak, a musical prodigy. He played both the keyboards and the bass at the same time, with bass pedals under his keyboards. He and Morrison were made to be together.
Back when everyone in high school was listening to Madonna, Culture Club and Poison, I had The Doors, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Rush posters all over my wall. Thanks for checking them out.
I was born in '70. My mom and my older brother helped shape a lot of my musical tastes. Bro was 8 years older and introduced me to a lot of late 60s and 70s rock, from Boston and Nazareth to The Talking Heads. Mom liked a lot of 70s and 80s soft rock, AC and pop music. She also took me to many concerts. Everyone from the Bee Gees to Kenny Rogers and Olivia Newton-John all the way to Kenny G. When I was in Saudi for Gulf War 1 she sent me all kinds of music, from Anita Baker to the Black Crowes. So yeah, I listened to the hair bands and New Wave but I was the only kid I knew who knew all the words to "The Gambler" and "Turn the Page."
I'm old, but I got to hear these songs when they were new. What a time to be alive! I love your reactions. Pick just about any Doors song, you can't go wrong.
I only like this album version as it's the one I heard first and grew to love, as did most fans. Over the years alternative versions of songs have been released (all of which I have), with variations (e.g. an extended intro to L.A. Woman, and additional vocals/F bombs on The End), but I don't like any of them better than what's on the original albums. They chose the right ones to release at the time.
@@Grindordont Because i learned this song with Jim saying She gets..without the "high". Never heard of this version until many years later. Nowdays when i hear "She gets High" i want to turn it off. 🙂
it's not just "keyboard", but specifically organ, which is a huge part of the Doors sound and the sound of the era. he plsyed other keyboard instruments too, notably electric piano (the sound that drives Riders On The Storm), but it's really the organ. if you like that general vibe and wanna find some more 60s stuff you might dig, try Love, The Zombies, The Animals, Steppenwolf, "?" And The Mysterians, Tommy James etc.
Almost nobody (consumers of radio, records, whichever format you name) heard the word "high" for decades. It was she get............she get..........she get..........wahooooooo for 40+ years. Probably the brightest accomplishment of the war on drugs. Way to go.
You must watch the Doors movie with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison. A cool thing with them is they don’t have a bass player Ray Manzarek plays the low end bass notes on his keyboard at the same time playing the keyboard section with his other hand. Even during the keyboard solo he maintains the bass line on the low end of the keyboard.
Yea that movie is awesome, im sick of people hating on the movie, Val was amazing as Jim and me and my friends were like 15 when that movie came out and we were already Doors fans but that movie brought in millions of new Doors fans. It showed the good side and the bad side of the rock lifestyle, but Jim was on another level 💯
The Doors have SO many great songs, any song from their greatest hits and they have lots of deep cuts that are great too. Hello, I love you, light my fire, peace frog, people are strange, love me two times, roadhouse blues, love her madly, The End, waiting for the sun, 5 to 1, moonlight drive, soul kitchen, the changeling and I could go on! Would love to see some more Doors in the future!
Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception”, which was about his experiences taking mescaline - he broke through his traditional perception of the world around him and entered a different kind of consciousness. That’s where the band got its name.
Haven’t heard the doors since I was a kid -didn’t realise how much Jim’s lower register sounds like Danzig 😂 not just the voice but the overall approach to the melody ..
As a young person, still in my 20’s, I just got into The Doors this year. Already one of my favorite bands. I think “People are Strange” is my favorite song I’ve heard by them. On a side note, I think it’s cool that this is one of the only reaction channels I’ve seen that reacts to hip hop AND rock. Most channels do one or the other. It’s fine to have preferences but anyone who ONLY listens to one genre is missing out on a lot of great music. I mostly listen to hip hop, but I love bands like The Doors, Pink Floyd and Radiohead. That’s my type of Rock, so if anyone has recommendations for similar stuff I’m all ears.
You'd probably like the Rob Squad Reactions channel, then. They listen to everything, literally every type of music, although they started heavy on the 80s.
When i was still 14 in 2000s, i deffine The Doors as my favourite band. And i didn't hear it much yet. And, yeah, this song was fav in first, but later the end. Or maybe opsite..
All musicians in this band are classically trained and top notch. Riders on the Storm (which I haven’t watched your video yet) is my favorite song of all time. I am a musician and a metal head and that means a lot
It's only 3 month ago i watched apocalypse now redux for maybe the 25th time. It's unbelievable how this movie perfectly goes together with the song the end. Especially when you think about the fact that there are more then 10 years between the making of the song and the movie. The movie shows the madness of war so intense and trippy that i'm exhausted everytime i watched the movie. And i never watched it without rolling some big ones. It's the only war movie i have watched more than one time.
Actually this is not the uncensored version. "High" was added later and most probably it was taken from another song... You may have heard it with the bad word in "Absolutely Live"
This music is timeless it does matter what the year your living in it can compete You guys should just go through all there stuff They have so many different styles mixed together likes jazz ,rock , blues bossa nova Bossa Nova drum beat on this song I believe. Yeah his Baritone voice
Ray Manzarek's circus fun house organ with Jim's dark lyrics and deep, gritty voice have always been such a wonderful dich0tomy to me. Innocent happiness layered with Iurking d@nger. It's like the musical version of "Alice in Wonderland" or Stephen King's "It". Then you add the musical brilliance of Robby Krieger and John Densmore and you get one of the most unique sounds ever produced in Rock and Roll.
Ok some boomer memories here. Free-form FM radio became a major influence to me musically and it happened right around the same time of my going from pre-teen to full teen mode. It's like the top 40 AM radio was my pre-16 yr old self but from there on I migrated to hearing whatever album cuts the DJs on NYC's WNEW-FM and other stations felt like playing. Just laying out the background story a little. So there I am barely 17 yrs old listening on my parent's stereo when DJ Dave Herman premiered The Doors, their first album. He actually just played the whole album back to back and Break on Through was the first song on side one and it blew me away. Ran right out to Scotti's Record Shop and bought it and played it to death.
the drums stop & go like a porche down a calif canyon road.... song has a compressed energy, that flexes & then goes back into coiled growl.... remember this is '66. few bands had this brimming energy & tightness. echoes to early punk also.
I’m never this early. I’m so hype y’all reacted to this!!

Do they do any "fresh" reactions anymore? Like they mentioned this is Apr. 25th for them, must have released this on Patreon earlier. I don't know if they do any "fresh" YT releases anymore
You guys need to do their all-time signature classic "Light My Fire," which is basically like their "Stairway To Heaven" - EVERYONE knows that song. You guys should also do "Touch Me," "Twentieth Century Fox," "People Are Strange" AND "Strange Days," "Soul Kitchen," "Roadhouse Blues," their live cover version of Them's "Gloria," and their all-time #1 song in my opinion, the epic "When The Music's Over" which is in my all-time Top 50 songs ever.
The Doors are incredible. I hope u understand their place in the history of rock and roll, and enjoy them. If not I still will and have since I was a kid. Cheers! A top 5 band of all time imo!!! Top tier singer, keyboard player, and breakthrough writers of style and ingenuity. S+
The bossanova drum part at the beginning is a sped-up version of the Jazz classic "Girl from Ipanema". John Densmore (the drummer) admits it. Haha! I met Densmore at a book signing years ago...super nice guy!
It's like you are experiencing the development of Heavy Metal, but backwards in time. When these songs came out, people freaked. So heavy and malevolent.
For years and years and years, all LP's, Tapes, and CD pressings edited out "High." All one heard was "She Get." The "High" started to show on CD and LP pressings only about 15 years ago. If not familiar, google the story about the Doors being asked by Ed Sullivan to change the word "Higher" when it was time to perform "Light My Fire" on his variety TV show.
The doors! It's been a minute had a flashback to watching apocalypse now after eating "an influence", great song, fantastic movie. ... acid rock was different
That drummer just knew about every rhythm in the book..Bossa Nova, Tango, Foxtrot, etc..and like ya said, could mix it with rock on a dime drop..He influenced me to be more versatile and learn other styles of play. Morrison's lyrics on this are so catchy--because they ring so true to human nature.
Funny that you say it sounds like it should be in a movie because both Jim Morrison And Ray Manzarek were in film school together. That's where they met.
Powerful debut single from the band. Uncensored version. Jazz rock is the genre. Densmore played a ‘stiffened’ Bossa Nova beat on the drums. The important part is the lyrics.
One time I was tripping on shrooms while listening to this song on headphones and it felt like HOURS before the song was over and I had to take the headphones off because it felt like I was getting sucked into them! If I didn't, I was breaking on through to the inside of those fuckers! The shrooms were Golden Teachers.
In Jarhead maybe a remake of apocalypse now military helicopter is seen flying overhead, blasting the Doors song “Break On Through (To the Other Side)” from its speaker system.
The drummer John Densmore used what is called a bossa nova beat on this tune. Bossa Nova is a south american beat that is used with a regular stick and brush but to stiffen the beat for rick Densmore used 2 drum sticks
Hey my guys, it's time you all started to review this amazing return to old-school country/folk/bluegrass. PLEASE do Tyler Childress Nose on the Grindstone! 😊
This song is about the inevitable death of us all despite all we do to bide our time in this life until the end.Morrison is saying screw it ….just do it….Break on through to other side!

"Ladies and gentlemen; from Los Angeles California ... The Doors!"
@@SGED392 I've thought for years that Peace Frog would make an awesome rap number. I suggested it to a young rapper I was conversing with at a dispensary.
Classically trained keyboard player, jazz drummer, flamenco guitar player plus a poet = The Doors
Excellently described.
I can always pop this song on and still be blown away. There’s a spirit to The Doors that will never die. They captured absolutely magic.
RIP Ray Manzerak, a musical prodigy. He played both the keyboards and the bass at the same time, with bass pedals under his keyboards. He and Morrison were made to be together.
He may have used peddle bass at some point, but he generally used a key bass small bass specific keyboard for playing bass.
Jim Morrison just 23 yrs old when he wrote these incredible lyrics. Unbelievable he only had 4 years left in his life. What could have been
That bossanova rhythm John Densmore lays down on the drums is such a cool groove. ❤️
His use of Latin rhythms was one of the things that marked the Doors' sound as so different.
The Doors "When the musics over" is a masterpiece.
That song is FIRE! Absolute roller coaster ride and worth every second of play! George and Ryan would love it
Yes
@@jasonhaynes2952 Fire? are you 12 years old?

Back when everyone in high school was listening to Madonna, Culture Club and Poison, I had The Doors, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Rush posters all over my wall. Thanks for checking them out.
And there were those of us who listened to every single one of these artists, and more. Could never limit to just one genre or type of artist.

underrated comment
Love Her Madly is my favorite Doors song but all of these are great.
As a drummer, I love playing this song!!
As a doctor, physician, porn star, police man, astronaut, UFC fighter, therapist, comedian and serial killer, the song is pretty good.
in 67 this was as modern as it got. These and the Animals were years in front.
Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception”, which was about his experiences taking mescaline - he broke through his traditional perception of the world around him and entered a different kind of consciousness.

Jim had a haunting voice- and it influenced artists like Glenn Danzig and Ian Astbury. Truly a rock legend. RIP

I think he influenced a lot more than that. Basically dark barittone singers in rock music owe a lot to Morrison.
Ian Curtis, Joy Division.
Scott Weiland really captured it in STP's "Atlanta"
@@adriantrusca1245 So is your opinion.

Or....Danzig sounds alot like Jim Morrison.
I thought every college student went thru their "Doors" days.... I certainly did. Had a big-ass Jim Morrison poster over my bed in my dorm room. lol
It's the opening track on their debut album. The whole album is really cool 😎
They would absolutely like Touch me and Light my fire
So glad to see the Doors again!
Light my fire is the first doors song anyone should listen to. The End is also great but possibly challenging for the reaction format
Agreed. I don't understand how they have listened to this many tracks but they haven't gotten to Light My Fire yet?
how about "people are strange" or "when the music's over". Great songs!

Not to touch the earth is from an other world at that time
This song was used in an episode of Miami Vice dealing with a Vietnam story.

When the Musics over was my favorite song when I was 8, mom had Strange Days on vinyl and I used to listen over and over!

Remember they took their name from Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception”.
It was probably on Forest Gump, there was a few Doors tracks on that movie
Keep raising the (your) vibe guys - Break On Through
Maybe 7-11 can become a sponsor
The fact he was tripping out on acid he goes down as poet is classic
Funny that you say it sounds like it should be in a movie because both Jim Morrison And Ray Manzarek were in film school together. That's where they met.
John Densmore was originally a Jazz drummer. It shown throughout the doors catalog.
Yeah, the jazz and blues influences are very strong
Peace Frog
Powerful debut single from the band. Uncensored version. Jazz rock is the genre. Densmore played a ‘stiffened’ Bossa Nova beat on the drums. The important part is the lyrics.
One time I was tripping on shrooms while listening to this song on headphones and it felt like HOURS before the song was over and I had to take the headphones off because it felt like I was getting sucked into them! If I didn't, I was breaking on through to the inside of those fuckers! The shrooms were Golden Teachers.
I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us, eyes that lied ...........Yes, eyes that lied!
The first bad I ever heard. This band will always hold a special place in my heart.
I like the lyrics in this song. Very evocative.
There is a Lounge-y vibe to The Doors. Sinatra was Jim Morrison's favorite singer so there you go.

When the Music’s Over, The End, W.A.S.P., Soul Kitchen, Five to One, The Soft Parade, Moonlight Drive

Hey my guys, it's time you all started to review this amazing return to old-school country/folk/bluegrass. PLEASE do Tyler Childress Nose on the Grindstone! 😊
Eddie Vedder was a huge fan of them and one of his inspirations, he has done covers of the doors with Pearl jam live , you can look it up, its great
He has actually sung with (previously) surviving members of the Doors, I think they did 3 songs. This was one of them.
All I can think of when hearing this song is Tony Hawks Underground 2
It makes you wonder why in this day and age the radio stations don’t play the uncensored version 😮
This song is about the inevitable death of us all despite all we do to bide our time in this life until the end.Morrison is saying screw it ….just do it….Break on through to other side!
