I enjoyed Stone's film only because of Kilmer's acting, which was great. But despite all that, Kilmer portrayed only one side of Morrison's personality and in an exaggerating way too. Also, Stone putted too much emphasis on Morrison as an individual than as a part of a group.

THIS IS THE END, MY ONLY FRIEND... THE END!

favorite doors song

D'uh, that song is a god damn masterpiece. It's like "The Four Seasons" of the modern age.

Have you watched When You're Strange?

Album Rating: 5.0

No, is that a music documentary or a film ?

Album Rating: 5.0

It's documentary, so it's more objective and informative. I think you'll enjoy it more than the film since you want to see a more well rounded story of the band.

Album Rating: 4.5

I must say this is one killer debut with some killer songs not to mention the obscure stuff is killer too.

i used to basically think this was 4 awesome songs and a bunch of decent ones. but now it's a 5.

Album Rating: 5.0

Agreed. Don't know if this was the case with you but personally my first Doors album was a "best of" so I had trouble getting into their albums at first because I was looking for hits/standouts rather than listening to the album as a whole. Not anymore though.

Album Rating: 5.0

I didn't have a Best Of but probably had the same mentality from just knowing bits and pieces that would get played on radio. The Crystal Ship was the only song new to me that matched the three I'd already heard off this. but now I like it all.

can't vibe to this :/

the killer awoke before dawn

The End is about Oedipus right?

Yes, parts of it is, I believe

Nice dig, btw


Edit: I just checked Wiki (lol, reliable source...), and it has a quotation from Manzarek (R.I.P.) about the song:

"He was giving voice in a rock 'n' roll setting to the Oedipus complex, at the time a widely discussed tendency in Freudian psychology. He wasn't saying he wanted to do that to his own mom and dad. He was re-enacting a bit of Greek drama. It was theatre!"
