say something really nice about the doors
 

go!

They knew how to wear leather.

they help getting out of rooms/places.

Show me, the way to, the next Whiskey bar!
Something something something, something something something.
Somethin-nuh-nuh-na-na-nana
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you su-hum-thing!

Best song ever.

They stopped making music a long time ago, regardless of the grotesque reunions.

they are the band that got keiji haino into rock n roll music, therefore they are one of the most important bands in the history of music and we are indebted to them.

how many of you people know yr really alive!

Jim Morrison had, like, THE most fantastic nipples.

the bass intro certainly sounds an awful lot like it...

Kurt Weill wrote that song.

the doors were my first real favourite band

Jim was just a hott man all over.

jim morrison's hair had a nice wave to it.

i really like that neeaaaoooowwwwwww noise at the beginning of LA woman.

Ray Manzerek is a really talented guy, and I love his work with X. X's version of "Soul Kitchen" is a total classic.

they wrote the end which is one of the funniest songs ever.

they wrote when the music's over which is fucking great.

they got lonnie mack to play on roadhouse blues, to bad he didn't get to play the guitar in that recording, though.

i like the lyrics to people are strange.

jim morrison is dead.

Exactly.


There is more to The Doors than Jim's "image," which seems to be what everybody on this site cries about. They were all great and innovative musicans and Jim a had a great voice. Plus, they were one of the first "rock bands" to bring weirdness/darkness into rock.....and I thank them for that.


I'll listen to The Doors a good 3 or 4 times a year, but they are still one of my all time favorite bands and one of the first that showed me that anything can happen in music (you know, like in 3rd or 4th grade).


Listen to what you want, but The Doors bashing gets just as annoying as hearing about Pavement and Dinosaur every two seconds.

i haven't touched my dinosaur records ina while now, i'm sick of people talking so much about them. that and the new one sucks, so...

For some reason I am attracted to Light my Fire.

THis correlates with the Teen Rites of Passage thread :d
it was a very powerful experience for me in my early teens to sit in my room or on the window sill at night, weighted heavy by the mixture of summer heat and hard passionate rainfalls , playing the doors amongst other personal selections as my relationship with music really begun .

Still haven't heard it and I used to be a HUGE fan.

All I know is that I have not been able to get into Dinosaur Jr that much.

i think jim morrison faked his own death and he now hangs out with elvis and jfk in kalamazoo, MI they drink martinis and play avant garde surfer rock all the while listening to the japanese hardcore band "eastern youth" and then they make sweet sweet love as the remaining members of the doors cry for another dead rock star

The Doors are cool. Their music does things to me.

The end.

but it's not the end

It's the end of this conversation for me.

this wasnt a conversation just random statements that somehow ended up around the same place

The End, When the Music's Over, and the long version of Riders on the Storm are three of the best pieces of music I have ever heard.

And it was cool how Ray played the bassline and keyboard melody at the same time.

yeah i know what you mean, i have this with a band, but its not the Doors, but the Doors are great, i love them. hey did you ever read that book "wonderland ave" by a guy.. god cant think of his name.. yeah googled it there "danny sugarman"

the doors taught me when I was 11-12 that the Man can go fuck himself.

when you're strange....

Seeing the Doors live prompted Iggy Pop to form the Stooges.

I spent several years wanting to look like this:

No, not the dog.

I spent more than several years coming pretty close to that look, actually.

jim gave me something to scream out in front of everyone when drunk

"I AM THE LIZARD KING!!"

and when im stoned the keyboard sounds easy

Well, that's embarrassing... but you were brave to share this with us...

when in the same situation (intoxication of any sort) I like to yell

YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!

They influenced Patti Smith.

Ha. Now that I like!

the LA woman album had a session bass player I think. must do research

I hate the doors, I hate the beatles, I hate bob Dylan, I hate the beach boys, or any music made before about 1975. I'll probably get crucified for saying that, but I dont care.
