Ray Manzarek is on the keys, fun fact the doors didn't have a bass player. When they played live Ray would do the bass line on a second piano while he played the keys, Extremely talented player
They used bass players in the studio, but when it came to performing live, it was always Ray handling both duties.
It was actually Elvis Presley’s bassist playing on this album
Norman Bates RIP Jim and Ray! What incredible talents.
While keeping metronome with his foot and a cigarette in his hand. One of the all time greats.
A fantastic musician.
2:32 'Where we goin' here?' .... Welcome to The Doors, my friends.
John Dozier we are swimming to the moon
"Acid acid change your life" FBZ ... zombies 👀 ... this damn music ... good vibes
No they were eligible for the draft and "'Where we goin' here?" was by the luck of the draw, only, to may-be the My Lai Massacre - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_Massacre ... a cold world indeed.
I get it and am happy that younger people don't get it, but late 60's early 70 music is about the those times and so everything from Johnny Cash , the Beatles, to Doors is effected by the war in Vietnam.
I respectfully think you MUST see Country Joe and the Fish at Woodstock th-cam.com/video/Jk68D91hTXw/w-d-xo.html
and
WAR !!! by Edwin Starr th-cam.com/video/01-2pNCZiNk/w-d-xo.html to get a perspective on what you hearing
JJ Smith
They have to interrupt the song frequently due to copyright restrictions because their channel is monetized. Rest assured they listen to a lot of these later uninterrupted offline
Have these 2 never heard of Ray Manzarek? Too much talking interrupting the flow: btw, it's called KORG PIANO, HAMMOND ORGAN & Bass guitar overdubs. If you'd just listen. Of course it's rock. Over thinking your classic drug era: Keep it simple. Parse into no more than 3 sections and save it all to the end.
True story: I am an old man now.The first time I heard this song, I was hitch hiking in Oregon in the pouring rain. A young single woman gave me a ride and this song came on the radio.....
...and? I want to hear more of this story!
where did you bury her?
Mac Canma lol
That had to be very uncomfortable. I'm glad it wasn't me LOL.
Was your brain squirming like a toad?
I wonder if they ever realized that Jim recorded the vocals twice, one singing and one whispering. Really adds an ethereal layer to the song
The whisper is more detectable with good headphones. The song has great atmosphere!
I did not know that actually
The Keyboards and Bass are played by Ray Manzarek. The Doors had no Bass player so Ray simultaneously played two keyboards. His left hand would hold the bass line and he would solo and play lead keys with the right hand. On vocals Jim Morrison is the all time rock n roll poet. Jim and Ray were two of music's all time greats, my they both R.I.P.
Josh Matthews Was there? I didn't know that. How did they do the base live?
Foot pedals for the bass lines if he was on an organ.
In fact, Elvis' bass player was in this album. They brought him to convince Jim to make this album. Most of the time, there's a bass player in the studio but for the live versions, Ray played the bass for sure.
pallknowing1 Josh Matthews is correct. The bass heard on the recording is an actual bass guitar.
LA Woman had a real bassist. First doors album to have one. This was their best album
Not.my favorite, but their best.
Awesome that you are getting into straight up "rock" rather than just metal.
Plus The Doors have so many moods.
One of my favourite bass player is the left hand of Ray Manzarek
Ray is amazing doing bass with that left hand...however on this album they employed Jerry Sheff. Jim was stoked to work with Elvis' bass player.
Having such a good bass player as Jerry Sheff in studio, you still have to have the origination. th-cam.com/video/3deQXzV-qTk/w-d-xo.html
foot peddles not left hand
@@marcob6880 watch them light my fire live and learn
@@nikobellic9010 combination of right foot and left hand, so sayeth ultimateclassicrock "In terms of live performance, it's a fact: The Doors did not have a dedicated bass player. In concert, keyboardist Ray Manzarek held down the bottom end with his left hand (and right foot) on the Fender Rhodes. John Densmore played drums. Robby Krieger played guitar. Jim Morrison sang. That was it, and the guys have explained that the lack of a bass guitarist freed up sonic space and helped the group distinguish their sound from other late '60s bands.

This was the last song Jim Morrison recorded before his death in 1971. The song depicts Morrison's own experience hitchhiking as young adult and life in the eyes of Morrison. "The Storm" describes the turbulent chaotic world we live in, and in Morrison's eyes we are "The Riders" who ride restlessly along. When he says "theres a killer on the road" he means to talk about all the bad that we as humans can engage in and that by giving "them" a ride we are endangering those around us. "Into this world we are thrown like a dog without a bone" refers to how we start with seemingly nothing, and how we must ride on through the storm of life in order to find what we desire. Since this was Jim Morrison's last recorded album before taking hiatus in France, I believe the lines "girl you gotta love your man... girl you gotta love your man" were largely about Pam Courson, Jim's girl at the time. I believe he is asking that Pam be there for him in their own journey along the fray of "The Storm". All together the song is almost like Jim's way of passing on a very lasting message. The last "riders on the storm" is somewhat whispered like Jim is literally disappearing into the storm; as though to once again to resume his own ride amongst tumult of our world.
Nailed it.
Thank you Brother
Wow, That's perfect breakdown of this song......... Thanks Ferrell for educating me on this song, I didn't realize how deep this song really is........
Very well stated.
Interestingly, the "in to this world we're thrown" is a very existentialist line, and the whole song definitely has an existentialist theme. I wonder if Jim Morrison ever read Heidegger. It wouldn't surprise me if he had.
Drummer was a jazz guy, guitarist was a blues, I think keys was a classicist. Singer was a poet.
gary brown spot on the best breakdown of the band.
Best definition of the Doors!! Well done!!
krieger did classical and flamenco most of his life, and got into the blues later
gary brown guitarrist was into flamenco
Wait till they find out the bass and keyboard are one person on the keyboard
Actually they had a session bassist for this album, but live it was all Manzerek
Carol Kaye did most of the studio bass.
On the Doors' albums they often had a studio bassist play the bass parts, I believe Carol Kaye played bass on some Doors songs.
mrsleep0000
Shout out, 2 da mitey Carol Kaye!!!
For a band that didn't have a bass player, they have a lot of songs with great bass lines.
You overthinking...You FEEL the Doors, you don't THINK the Doors..stop/go stop/go..you gotta just sit back & take it in..
Yeah, but if you don’t pause the song, you wind up with a copyright violation and they take the video down
@@monkeyballs512 I didn't take that to mean Stari Night was criticizing the duo's stopping/starting, just pointing out that, to appreciate the music (like a LOT of music, especially meaningful music), it has to be listened to without interruption. :)
Yep, Jim is a poet and you experience his art
BAM
i disagree, jim was a fantastic poet and his lyrics are half the music imo
Queens of the Stone Age- No One Knows... long live ROCK!!!
M Porten
Everyone has heard “No One Knows”. They are probably my fave band. I’d love to see them do one from the new album. Maybe “The Evil Has Landed” or “Feet Don’t Fail Me”.
I'd love them to hear Mexicola. There is no definitive QotSA song.
Luv you guys review on this song...I am an African-American female who loooves the Doors. Good job for being open-minded when it came to one of my fave. groups. TY
yeah i love the guy who picked up on the keys&bass...melodys.
Important: There is no "keys" and "bass". Ray Manzarek plays the bass line on the organ and the keys as well. The Doors don't have a bass player and it makes Manzarek even more amazing. (Correction: Jerry Scheff played the bass on this but many times Ray would play the bass lines with foot pedals - Sorry about stating a "fact" incorrectly!)
John G on point. I was reading through the comments to make sure this was posted. Thanks
But that was live. On the studio they used to have a bass player. On "L. A. Woman", the bass was played by Jerry Scheff.
Great point! Thanks Marcelo!
Isn't an electric organ a slightly older version of "keys"?
Ray Manzarek. Just saying.
Jim Morrison was a poet and a heavy drug user. Trying to decipher his metaphors can be tricky.
If you consider alcohol a drug then yes
@@horologyofcosmos4593 ummm. do you know how he died? lol
Dominic guess not lol
@@horologyofcosmos4593 He drank alcohol on top of drugs, dude. Yes, actually it can be considered a drug. It alters your chemistry and perceptions.
😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely love how this channel never ceases to surprise me at the level of dedication you guys put into pursuing free thinking in your song selection. Just the range of music that is covered on this channel absolutely amazes me and I wish that more people could adopt the eclectic viewpoint that you guys have and profess for music. Classic by The Doors, loved it. Please keep it up!!
Arzun Razal 🐐’s
Break On Through (To The Other Side) by The Doors is much more energetic and I think it’s a good one for you next
Luke Boughner yeah, I love riders on the Strom but I feel like they should have gone with a different song for their first reaction to The Doors. Hope they re-visit them again.
If you really want to get a more complete sense of the Doors you owe it to yourself to listen to "Light My Fire" "Break on Through" and "Roadhouse Blues." Much more of a raw emotional feel. Visceral even. Now that youve had a taste of their more esoteric side you need to listen to their edgier facets. Do it. You won't regret it.
And throw in LA Woman...
two beer Hell yes!! Definitely L.A. Woman!
don't forget "The End"
Ali samadi IDK, we were discussing songs these cats should listen to that they might actually enjoy, since Riders on the Storm" was a bit too out there for their liking. While i personally love it, I think "the End" would be too much for the guys. We would have a very similar reaction to "Riders." Sort of "WTF did we just listen to? Okay people. Not our thing but if you enjoy it, more power to ya."
My personal favorite is "Peace Frog". My dad was from Chicago, and the line, "blood in the streets in the town of Chicago" on my first listen hooked me.
this song is so amazing that Snoop Dogg did a remix with this song and it was used in Need For Speed Undereground. The keyboard player is Ray Manzarek.
Ray Manzarek also played all the bass tracks. Talk about talent!
Jimi Hendrix:
"All Along The Watchtower" - (Electric Ladyland) or
"Machine Gun" - (Band of Gypsies or Live@Filmore East) or
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" - (Woodstock Live or Electric Ladyland)
oh PLEASE do "Machine Gun" (band of Gypsies version!) it's simaltaneously HEAVY-AS-HELL and GROOVE-RIDDEN and foundation-SHAKING!!!!
Yes Machine gun live at fillmore is incredible !
Dejoblue all along the watchtower comparison between hendrix and dylan
Machine Gun is my fav Hendrix song, yes Filmore version. There are actually two Filmore versions since he played it on both shows.
ja men you now what's it all about
Do the Doors- this is the end
THESNEAKERADDICT I think that would have been a better song to review the band for the first time.
Why would you drag them through this drudgery when they just sat through a slow, grinding mindfuck already & couldn't make heads or tails of it?
I'd recommend something a little more in-your-face but still representative of the Doors typical style, like "Waiting For The Sun" or "When The Music's Over". When The Music's Over is a long track as well, but it has purposeful, punctuated changes & the song structure is a bit less linear.
THESNEAKERADDICT yeah definetely
It’s just called “the end”
And he walked on down the hall!
Rainbow - Stargazer
Cozy Powell just destroys the drums on that song.
i agree with this request
For god dam sake, do this one. Ryan and George, the singer is Ronnie James Dio.
Stargazer is a masterpiece
Ray Manzerack is on the keys and is genius! He held the band together when Morrison began his heavy tripping.
Jim Morrison - Vocals
Ray Manzerek - Keyboard
Robby Krieger - Guitar
John Densmore - Drums
If that helps y'all out!
Let's not forget the 5th member of the band, LSD :)
Julia Lol! SO MUCH LSD
Julia haha definitely!
Smokey McPot one of the greatest poets to ever do it rip Jim
Ray is playing the bass part too, lol!
Listen to another The Doors song called "light my fire" for a badass keyboard solo.
LPC90 they definitely have to do Light My Fire!!
LPC90
Please, God, no! That video would take a half hour!
*DOORS INFO:* For your first question - the "bassist" and the keyboardist are the same guy (at least in live shows). Ray Manzarek. They didn't have a conventional bassist when they started. Instead, Manzarek just played two keyboards. One hand on each. With one tuned to "bass"... and the other hand typically on a more standard keyboard setting. They did, however, pickup a studio bassist for recording. He just did not tour with the band. So that left double duty to Ray in live performances. This song is one of The Doors absolute classics. However, they also did some more straight forward blues and rock jams. You'd need to listen to a few more songs to get a feel. It was definitely a blend of blues/jazz/rock coming all together. For the lyrics... Jim Morrison (lead singer/lyricist) is a essentially, at this point - a larger than life cult hero. His lyrics could certainly be odd in these darker songs. He was also a poet and used a lot of metaphors. The meaning in his lyrics often cannot be taken at face value. The band sometimes could not be sure what he exactly meant either. Many of his songs (like Riders on the Storm) have it's meaning debated. Jim struggled with drug abuse/alcoholism and died at the age of 27 in Paris. This came after fleeing the country while in the midst of facing prison time for a felony "public obscenity" incident at a concert. There are a lot of movies and documentaries made on Jim and The Doors. Oliver Stone's "The Doors" starring Val Kilmer (as Jim) being the biggest. The rise and fall of The Doors/Jim Morrison is an interesting story. It was certainly a whirlwind. They came and left in a fury. This created sort of a "mystique" around the band and (most notably) their singer. Which is intriguing to many.
Yeah, you're right. I kind of thought that when I was writing it as well, but was too lazy to check. I'll edit it.
He was 27 when he died (27 club).
Ahmed Safdar - You're right. Damn... I shouldn't have written this so fast. People calling me out! Lol
He wasnot 27 when he died ray died a couple years ago like 70 yrs old derp
Uncle Chuck - He was pretty clearly talking about Jim Morrison dying at 27 dude...
The keyboardist is named Ray Manzarek...his playing along with the vocalist Jim Morrison's voice are what drew me to this band! I would recommend songs like Touch Me, The End, L.A. Woman and People Are Strange :)
We don't want them to do "The End" They'll freak out on the lyrics lol.
"When the music's over!"
The Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek was a genius. What he does in this song to replicate that storm feeling is amazing.
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows PLEASE
Damjan P I keep asking for this one too!!!
Its Hangin Tree for me.
God is in the radio
Ray Manzarek played the keys and was also the one who wrote that bass line
Ray is the TRUTH!
He really was. Here's a video of him talking about the making of Riders on the Storm: th-cam.com/video/4ZJ7xhu-wy4/w-d-xo.html
He is to me, the greatest keyboardist ever!!!!!!!!!
Robbie Krieger & John Densmore are both still alive.
John Densmore and Robby Krieger are still alive
Deep Purple - Child In Time
Ray Manzarek was one of the first rock musicians to use a multi-keyboard setup, playing chords and melody on an organ and bass parts on a Fender Rhodes bass keyboard stacked on top of it. The combo organ's distinctive tone became a signature sound of the Doors
Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way, or The Chain if you want to keep doing some classic stuff.
Do The Doors- L.A Woman it's more up beat. PLEASE BEEN REQUESTING FOR A WHILE.
Ruben Ruiz I agree. I’d think they’d dig it.
Banger
Agreed. Love that song.
Peace Frog is the bomb!
"Roundabout" by Yes. When it's over, you will not know what hit you.
JQ That bassline, tho.
Nah, that'd be Heart of the Sunrise
José Suárez Sunrise is glorious, but maybe not the most accessible song for first exposure.
Kyle Semenoff You're talking to the guy who started in Yes with the madness of Close to the Edge xd
José Suárez Ha, cool! But were you already coming from a rock background?
It's like their first exposure to Dream Theater being Metropolis 1- great song, but maybe a tad too much as an introduction.
LA Woman by the Doors would be a nice one for you to review. They were after all an LA band !!
Rainbow - Stargazer
William Heart Yes
I love stargazer
DanHarkinz99 or "Man on the Silver Mountain", would work for me too.
The band YES. Roundabout... you will love the Bass!
Yes! Yes! I was going to suggest Roundabout as well.
Man I wish I could like this comment more. George! Ryan! Roundabout needs to happen!
One of the best basslines of all time hands down.
They have listened to Roundabout by YES. They loved the musicianship and just about everything about the song.
Dire Straits -Sultans of Swing
im really not into this kind of music but this track you wrote is one of my favorite songs ever!
Alchemy Version is a must!!! Much better than the original
"Woke up this morning and got myself a beer" - jimbo
The futures uncertain and the end is always near
roaring that couplet out of a car window, that's living
The killer on the road is in reference to a car accident Jim Morrison witnessed when he was a kid. A few native indians died on the road and he thought their spirit entered his body as a kid and that inspired his music.
Wally Reeves absolutely true
Wally Reeves woah what the fuck???
Jim also hitchhiked a lot when he was older, often envisioning himself as this danger walking unknown through the 'cosmos'...a faceless traveler...
This is a valid point as well.
I imagine the same stuff every time I do heroin.
PLEASE react to a Deep Purple song if you want awesome keys! I'd suggest Highway Star
TheNoelWiedmer How about Pictures of Home?
I love that song, the organ solo, the guitar solo and bass solo are great.
I also love the false ending that gets me every time.
I've suggested Burn....
"People are Strange" is one of my favorite songs by this band. It's not the most rhythmically intriguing but the lyrics are selectively unique that only the Doors could pull it off. Growing up in Appalachia and wanting to be a scientist and learn the mysteries of the world, Jim Morrison was able to describe everything I felt. It made me feel like I wasn't alone in being different.
Oh, mine, too. "Riders" is my favorite, but "People Are Strange" is a close second.
Not sure if a Rock classic masterpiece makes the playlist. Haha. Have these 2 never heard of Ray Manzarek? Too much talking interrupting the flow: btw, it's called KORG PIANO, HAMMOND ORGAN & Bass guitar overdubs. If you'd just listen. Of course it's rock. Over thinking your classic drug era: Keep it simple. Parse into no more than 3 sections and save it all to the end.
@@lajuera56 These two plus Alabama Song. Favorites.
@@lajuera56 same here!!! I'm 45 and LOVE The Doors! Their music transcends generations!
You are not alone.
Such vivid memories when I was a small child of my Dad playing this song on a road trip………late at night, heavy rain…..spooky…….and a perfect introduction to this song.
The musicians in the band had interesting musical backgrounds. Ray Manzarek, the keyboard player, came out of classical music, blues, and jazz. Robbie Krieg on guitar had studied flamenco and classical guitar before moving into jazz, blues, & R&B. The drummer, John Densmore had been a jazz drummer and loved South American rhythms. I think the music is mischaracterized as psychedelic. A lot of the early stuff is almost carnival music infused with blues and jazz attributes. The rhythm on their first cut on the first album is pure bossa nova and the guitar work evokes the music of Spain with some Gypsy influence. Think about Django Reinhardt.
The last two albums are almost pure blues with strong R&B moments. Riders On The Storm can almost be seen as Morrison's premonition of his imminent death. It was that last song he recorded before he went to Paris. He left LA in March 1971 and died four months later.
Ray Manzarek is the core of the music. He was one of the greatest keyboard players of the 20th century.
Watch on You Tube "Ray Manzarek Riders of the Storm" He plays the keyboard as he explains how the song was written.Fascinating !
Thomas Popp I have seen this and you’re right, it’s worth hearing. I watched it again just to see a Ray in action. He was so good. They are were.
Great contribution, John.
Love me some Doors---I have at least 5 CDs by them. Always loved Riders of the Storm---what I always liked about the Doors was that they had this whole dark,mysterious vibe going throughout their music, which made it so intriguing to listen to. "The End" is even more enigmatic and downbeat,too, as well as their classic "People Are Strange". Another classic they should listen to is "Queen of the Highway"--another great song by them.
Always cool to see younger folks getting into and appreciating old-school music. And, yeah, the Doors clearly had a lot of jazz influence in their music, as "Riders of the Storm" and "Light My Fire" prove.
*Ryan* and *George* your channel just gets better and better. You guys have reviewed hip-hop, rock, country...I love the variety of choices, which helps to reach out to viewers of all backgrounds. I would love for you guys to react to one of these three songs by *Living Colour* please.

Ray Manzarek ( R.I.P.) was on keyboards and shared bass duties with guitarist Robbie Krieger, John Densmore on drums and Jim Morrison ( R.I.P.) on vocals
Robby Krieger - Lead Guitar
John Densmore - Drums
Ray Manzarek (RIP) - Keys
Jim Morrison (RIP) - Vocals
Magical band.
"LA Woman" "The End" "Waiting for the Sun" "Light My Fire" "Spanish Caravan" "When the Music is Over" "Roadhouse Blues"
Guys, you really need to read up on the history on the Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger. You will be pleasantly surprised. The keyboard player, Ray, was born and raised in Chicago. He was classically trained on the piano. He was heavilly influenced by the Chicago Blues scene. Like some of the other people have been saying, Ray played two instruments (machines) at ths same time at their concerts with Jim. He played a piano bass with his left hand and an electric piano/organ with his right hand. As if that wasn't enough of a challenge, he handled lead vocals on a couple of songs. During their 1968 tour of western Europe, their was one show where he handled the lead vocals for the entire concert in Amsterdam Holland. Jim had passed out on stage during the Jefferson Airplane's opening show. They had studio musicians play Ray's bass lines for all rhe songs on all six of their studio albums with Jim. Jerry Shepp (Elvis Presley's bass player in 1970/1971) played on the L.A. Woman albumn (6 of 6 studio albums with a Live Concert album).
Never clicked a video so fast.
This is my favorite song of all time. And I am a musician. Many don’t know that Ray Manzerek usually plays the bass part on his keyboard - although it’s possible an actual bass was used in the recording
You'll love L.A women by The Doors
You guys GOTTA do "Disposable Heroes" by Metallica! Very deep song, you guys would love it.
Some of the worst mistakes in my life have been haircuts.....
~Jim Morrison~
Spread the Gospel that’s funny. I have long hair now from those bad haircuts. Never liked em. Love my long hair though. 👍🏻
beebop shopbop,
Jim was a funny guy. He said one time that if you shoot a goose full of speed, he'll turn circles forever!
I never really understood or appreciated Jim Morrison’s music until I saw the movie of his life, dude was deep and heavy...
Clear as mud and just as deep. Quote from my 6th grade shop teacher.
Riders on the Storm was actually the last recording by Jim Morrison before he went to Paris. If you listen very carefully at the end of the song, the last two lines (Riders on the storm, riders on the storm) have an echo. It does have a jazzy, dark feeling to it, you guys got it spot on. The last verse Jim sings his love to Pam (Girl, you gotta love your man, girl you gotta love your man, take him by the hand...). Ray Manzarek is on the keys, guys. He passed away on 2013. IMO, he's one of the best keyboard players; he was trained in classical piano.
Riders is good but you should have listened to the title track LA woman! 💔
Totally agree
The double disc from live at the Hollywood Bowl show is beyond amazing. Just raw instruments and vocals.
Completely agree
LA Woman is one the greatest and most underappreciated songs ever. Probably my favorite by them.
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Anything by him lol
sps8807 Voodoo Child or Couldn't Stand The Weather
texas flood, pride and joy, scuttle buttin
Pride and joy is the obvious one
I wanna see them react to his version of little wing. Even though there’s no lyrics
Crossfire, couldn't stand the weather or lenny
React to house of the rising sun by the animals
U dont understand the lyrics at all
Iron Maiden Rime of the Ancient Mariner
This song is a timeless classic!
Please do Stargazer by Rainbow next!
Strung Up I'm a rocker and ive heard of stargazer going to put it on right now
Guys. it was called LSD. Jim was on a huge trip. I love the song. But, I've jammed it for 40 years. And I have no idea what he means. Great grove
Glenn Payne ha ha right
Absolutely, a stunner.
One of the best songs ever!
Whats going on is Morrison is stoned on Peyote
They need to react to The End.
Still gotta get to Rainbow guys! Some of Dio's best work. Id start with Stargazer!
Only channel I’ll ever need to have notifications on for 👌🏾
You guys must listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival - Up around the bend!
Great song.
When I was like 9 or 10 I used to listen to this every night before going bed (on cassette). The rain, the keyboard solo, I found it all very soothing.
The Doors - Break On Through (To The Other Side)
Ray played both bass piano and regular piano at the same time. Jim Morrison was a poet first and singer second. He memorized by word about 1500 of the books he owned. Used to be a game his friends played with him in Jr. High called stump Morrison and his friends would start a sentence in any book of his library and he could finish usually the next page or two by memory. Morrison was not your average Rock Star he was and still is a cultural icon. You should really look into The Doors altogether they were a deep and amazing band. The band was highly influenced by Jazz and Blues especially Coltrane, Monk, Miles, etc. You got a sub from me, you guys are cool. Check out more Doors songs and Jim Morrison himself. Morrison was influenced by Baudlier, Nietzsche, Huxley, William Blake, Oscar Wilde, Witch Craft, Native American Tribal Culture, ancient philosophers, etc. When Jim Morrison wrote a song it wasn't always simple and if it seemed simple it was still probably on many more levels than the listener realized during the first 4 or 5 listens. I suggest The Doors Movie and the book No One Here Gets Out Alive.
Matthew Mohri 100% agree with this post. It needs to be seen.
Led Zeppelin - Since I've been loving you
The doors are my favorite band and I can’t believe you covered them; Jim was highly inspired by blues and this was the last doors album which he was determined needed blues infusion. Also, the 60’s introduced America to serial killers,
It was something that ppl didn’t understand amidst a war and the introduction to psychedelics I think there was a lot of influence
Of everything
In Jim’s lyrics but ultimately he was a poet; impossible to know what he ever meant but simply one of kind and never forgotten

Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing
snausagesaregood they need to do the one from frogleap Studios just released yesterday. check it out Leo did an amazing job
Hows it goin man... One of my favorites, Sultans of Swing, good selection man... \m/
20 eyes nah, the Alchemy version
Ryan Kats I haven't heard it, I'll check it out
Ryan Kats their guitarist was really really good. The version of the song is just a little too similar to the original for me. Just my opinion I like when bands change the song Make It their own just a little bit more. Not to take away anything from their version which was really good. I just prefer something a little different that's all. Thanks for the recommendation I enjoyed it
"SOFT PARADE" You're welcome.
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. Bring it!

Probably my favorite Doors tune. If you're looking for narrative cohesion from a band such as The Doors, you're gonna be disappointed. Not only was Jim Morrison an abstract thinker and lyricist, he was high off his ass most of the time. 😂😂😂 The Doors were always more about setting a mood than telling a story.
For me it's a toss up between this and Waiting for the Sun, but you gotta love The Doors. Jim Morrison died 11 years before I was even born, but I played arcade games and ate pizza to giant animatronic animals jamming this stuff at Showbiz Pizza Place. Who's on the keys? It's a huge badass gorilla!
Bonzoso21 waiting for the sun is my fav
connor ::derp::
you have to smoke a blunt and listen to this; can't believe you haven't. Listen to "House of the Rising Sun".
love that song by the animals
Also Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
@@ericaalyssalopez too many animals songs to name. but i'll add "we gotta get out of this place", "sky pilot", "san franciscan nights". that leads me to mention eric burdon's next band: War, which also has so many iconic songs
I agree House of the Rising Sun by the Animals is amazing.
Yes - Roundabout
Living color cult of personality!!!!! Amazing song and socially relevant today. Love you guys ❤
This!!!
Yes, please.
Tr
They def must review this song
NOW!!
Pink Floyd- Welcome To the Machine or Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Jim Morrison was on drugs all the time. You can't decipher his lyrics. You got it when you said "mushrooms." lol
more like daily lsd which he soon replaced with booze
Death-Flesh and the Power it Holds!!!!!
How many times do people have to request Death before they catch on?
Or altering the future 👍🏼
The Doors - The End 🤘
Ankur Mehra Think they could handle The End? 😂
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free 😄
Nicole Hall Don't think so haha. But I want them to
Deimos Gniew Phobos Ya seriously want know how they interpret it
Ankur Mehra Yes, I really want to.
Be careful going deeper into the Doors. You could end up going into areas of your mind you didn't know existed and never wanted to know were there.
you hit the nail on the head with 'mysterious' that's the best way I would describe the vibe of this song. it's something i try to capture in my own music every day but it's a hard thing to pull of tastefully.
Check out Cream. I think you guys will really enjoy the groove
YEs, Cream. Clapton in general too.
Hendrix is 1000 times better than Cream.
mother's lament
Oh yes,definitely!!!
That is like saying that the "Backstreet Boys" are better than "N'Sync", they are merely contemporaries of the same time period relative to each other.
Trying to dissect lyrics from the doors is hard to do guys. 99% of the time Jim Morrison was on lsd when he wrote these songs and the whole band was usually high on something when they recorded and/Or preformed live. Great vid tho guys!
I agree Duke. The 'art' of music like many other art forms..is totally subject to interpretation. One song can mean many different things to many different people.
Deep Purple - Child in Time.
Live 1970
Child in Time!!!!!!!!!!!!
possibly the most epic song ever recorded by and band, in any genre. Ever.
The Doors is one of those bands that shouldn’t be dissected. It’s one that you just close your eyes and listen to, feel the music and get lost in Jim’s voice.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man
or Freebird, obviously. Either one is the perfect representation of Skynyrd
Ikmel A.A.A. ohhhh yeaaaahhhhh
I love that song
If we're gonna do southern rock, we should do this right and proper: Allman Brothers.
Ikmel A.A.A. damn straight simple man!!!
Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive
Tool - Vicarious
Dmitri Konorev YES!
Dmitri Konorev Fuck yes!!!
Dmitri Konorev eulogy!
Ray Manzarek is just crazy talented on the keys 🎹 & Jim Morrison was just a poetic song writer
Crystal Ship is another great Doors song
Holy shit guys. I have requested Possum Kingdom by the Toadies 100 times..... and although I am now requesting it 101 times I'm freaking stoked that you just played my favorite band of all time. I love the doors no one has sounded like them since and no one before, great fucking job. Oh yeah and I haven't even watch the video yet...ha ha I know you guys are going to do it justice though!
I prefer 'Backslider', but anything by The Toadies would be welcome.
maceomaceo11 l, I'm just thinking possum kingdom is more melody, and I love the meaning. I actually love I burn.....
I love the whole album, doubtful they get to obscure mid 90's heavy alternative Christian rock (which nobody ever really caught on that that is what they were). I just think 'Backslider' optimizes what the band was. 'I Burn' is also a favorite.
Kashmirknight One of my fave bands and songs. Awesome request.
maceomaceo11. I always thought of "Backslider" as someone afraid of being alienated from their social group. I grew up in fundimental Baptist churches and all of them scared the hell out of you to enforce conformity in their belief system.
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Ray Manzarek is on the keys. I've always interpreted this song as just the world being a cold place. This was the last song Jim Morrison ever sang or recorded with The Doors. He died just a few weeks after this song was released.
