One of my favourite bands of all time. I quite like "People are Strange" and of course "The End".

NytestrykerZ 11-14-2005 12:43 PM

I just got into The Doors recently. I like a good amount of their tunes, I'm yet to buy a CD but I'm quite big on them. I noticed Jim's voice changed a bit on LA Woman and I really like it, it sounds bluesier (probably because of the alchohol and packed on pounds).

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-14-2005 01:07 PM

Like Thickasabrick, I don't know where I'd be without them. Infact I don't think I'd be typing this post out without them. They were the first band who began my never ending love for Classic Rock which eventually lead to exploring other genres such as Jazz, Blues, Folk...etc. Morrison is quite possibly my favorite songwritter, Robby is extremly underrated and when you hear Ray's organs you automaticaly know who's playing. They've made some of the best songs of the 60's with "The End", "When the Music's Over", "Not to Touch the Earth"..etc and one of the greatest albums of all time with their [I]self titled[/I]. As one of my favorite bands I love them to death. :)

well the doors are just a kick *** band and well im not a big literate on jim morrison's literary works but he wrote some significant philosofy works so i dont think he was actually overrated

Probot77 11-17-2005 03:20 PM

I love the doors. I own several of there albums and i just bought a live dvd of theirs and it is amazing.

rockinbass17 11-17-2005 05:24 PM

Time for a new album. It will be a Doors album. I've got s/t, Strange Days, and Morrison Hotel. What to get next- WFTS or LA Woman? I've heard most of LA, and a good amount of WFTS, but I'm a bit torn.

Aeaon 11-17-2005 05:26 PM

Jim Morrison is god. End of story.

Get L.A. Woman. It might be my favorite, right up there with Strange Days and s/t. It's more bluesy than their other albums. Great stuff. Waiting For the Sun is great as well, but I like L.A. Woman better.

Britton if nobody's sent you Spanish Caravan yet, I could send it to you.

Jacaran 11-17-2005 05:36 PM

I'm not a big fan of the Doors their CD's end up going in one ear and out the other I really don't take any of it in, but if I had to choose the S/T would be my favorite just cause I like "Break on Through".

And I'm not exactly a fan of Jim Morrison.

rockinbass17 11-17-2005 05:40 PM

I heard LAW is quite bluesy, and WFTS is more poppy. This means that I [I]should [/I]go for LAW, but the only thing that would hold me back is the title track. I really don't like it at all. It does have Riders on the Storm, however.
That being said, WFTS has Unkown Soldier. This is hard.

ozzyhead541 11-17-2005 08:15 PM

Jim was as Drunkin Poet there you go...

6stringed 11-24-2005 06:37 PM

The Doors are awesome. Rock would not be the same if Jim Morrison stayed in Universaty. I have the Guitar Legends Magizine, it is cool and shows some tabs. The Movie 'The Doors' is sweet. It has some naked people in there. (Guys do not watch this just to see naked chicks).

Its all gravys 11-25-2005 03:34 AM

i love the doors. has anyone got the album, 'alive she cried' i never knew they were so ****ing good live!!!

So many random thoughts thrown into one paragraph. :lol:

Anyways I haven't listened to the Doors in quite a while. I listened to La Woman last week but that was it.

/throws on [I]Strange Days[/I]

superpeer 11-25-2005 09:41 AM

I love the Doors. I haven't heard a Doors song that I don't like.

Converge 11-25-2005 10:32 AM

I love the doors! umm LA woman is probaly my favorite song is probaly when the musics over and riders of the storm.

TerryThorne 11-25-2005 12:10 PM

The Doors' brand of music is very interesting. I like the sound of how it just feels good to listen to and has a certain edge to it that makes it unique. And you have to love the organ.

6stringed 11-25-2005 12:44 PM

So did anyone hear about Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek's new band?

Well, its called Riders on the Storm. The lead singer is the former Cult singer Ian Astbury.

draintheblood 11-25-2005 01:19 PM

I listen to them as much as I can, it's just hard because all I have are tapes and records. I'm too lazy to go out and buy CDs. :(

Danger Bird 11-25-2005 04:31 PM

Did you know that in '99, they remastered the s/t LP to include the words '[size=2]f[/size]uck' and 'high' in 'The End' and 'Break on Through', which were omitted for 98 years?

Danger Bird 11-25-2005 04:33 PM

[QUOTE=Evil Clown Liquor]Indeed, some of it was, and I think people often get them confused. Like The End. More than half of that song was just the ramblings of a drugged-up Morrison. (Didn't stop that song from conjuring up some creepy imagery, however.)[/QUOTE]

Are you kidding? The Oedipal The End is one of the great lyrical works of our time.

6stringed 11-25-2005 04:34 PM

"It was hard living with Jim. It would have been so great if we'd just had a guy like Sting-a normal guy who's extremley talented,too. Someone who didn't have to be on the verge of life and death every second"-Robby Krieger

Even thought it was hard living with Jim, and he was drugged up. I still think Jim was awesome and unique in his own 'weirdness'

Danger Bird 11-25-2005 04:42 PM

Has anybody heard the remastered s/t CD? It has the uncensored versions of Break on Through and The End.

thickasabrick 11-25-2005 04:54 PM

Heh heh...yeah, Jim wasn't the easiest guy for most people to get along with. According to many books/internet sources, John Densmore developed a skin condition (rash type thing) after the Doors formed....it went away the day Jim died. John was horribly afraid of Jim, I remember reading in Life, Death, Legend that John walked into a room while Jim was holding a knife to John's girlfriends throat. Haha, what a guy!

edit - I can't stop staring at your avatar, Led-Zeppelin. I like it, I like it alot.

You read Morrison's The American Night and then watch HWY. Good Times.

Brain Toad 11-25-2005 07:18 PM

The Doors are the reason I stopped being a wigger and got more into rock music. Love 'em so much I changed my username to one of their lyrics (and then shortened it)

Krabsworth 11-25-2005 07:20 PM

The Doors are great, Love Street is probably my favorite song from them. I read somewhere that Robby Krieger had only been playing guitar 6 months before becoming a part of the band. I think Krieger would've failed miserably if he didn't have Ray creating such a wall of sound.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 11-25-2005 07:42 PM

That cannot be right. Robby Krieger sounds like he's playing all his life. He's a fantastic guitar, he definitely had to have played for more than 6 months. I mean that just can’t be right.
