I’m not saying any more on the matter but sometimes the mysogny of this board makes me sick.
I see I’ve touched a nerve… I was completely kidding in my second post if that helps at all
Late,

If I had a time machine THE very first place I would go would be to see Hendrix in Monteray. Man, from the dvd’s I’ve seen its hands down the best rock performance of ALL-TIME! Hendrix sounds soo much different live, his guitar just drones its almost scary.
“no one here gets out alive” by danny sugarman…thats the very best book about the doors.
Despite what I am led to believe about Morrision’s personality, ‘Strange Days’ is definitely one of the greatest albums ever made…hands down! With the debut album following closely on its heels…

I concur
I’ve heard worse stories than that.
…If he was your next door neighbour you would eventually move neighbourhoods.
I don’t know about that. Personally bad neighbors make me stay longer
Saw this last night… meh.
For what should have been an exciting story they sure knew how to make it boring. Depp as narrator nearly put me to sleep. Some nice little touches in it and as a fan of The Doors you’ll appreciate the tunes and some insight into the band and how they worked but otherwise not a particularly good film. Not a patch on the Joe Strummer or Joy Division documentaries
The Doors bore me to death.
I liked them when I was young though…I slot them into the Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath category…i.e I used to play their stuff loads quite a few years back but now can’t stand them.
The above bands are the reason I’m very careful about not thrashing stuff I really like now.
Know what you mean. I havent thrashed out Pink Floyd yet, but I have these two double disc doors and sabbath best ofs that I have played to death. Now and then when I chuck on full albums I get right into it because I barely hear the non single tracks.
Actually I have kinda worn out Piper at the gates of dawn and the wall…

i agree, i still have my 1st edition paperback.
I went on a big Doors kick back in November. The DVD boxsets are really cool.
I threw this up:

glad to see John’s back in.
never knew this until last year:
The songs “[url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_On_Through_(To_the_Other_Side)”]Break on Through (To the Other Side)” and “[url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_End_(The_Doors_song)”]The End” were both released [url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship”]censored on the album. During “Break on Through” the part where Jim Morrison sings “She gets, she gets” was originally recorded as “She gets high.” The vocal interlude near the end of “The End” was taken out as it included Morrison using the word [url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck”]fuck repeatedly. Subsequent releases of the album have both of the original parts intact, although 1980s [url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc”]compact disc reissues kept the verses censored. The band accepted this censorship, but refused to reword “Light My Fire” in their infamous [url “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ed_Sullivan_Show”]Ed Sullivan Show performance (“Girl we couldn’t get much higher”).

Honestly though, the bands youfirst were REALLY REALLY into the older youget the less you listen to them. Unless it’s weird al.
Against elitist haters and jaded douchebags I have long defended The Doors’ decision to pick up touring again and continue on with Ian Astbury. I thought he was a perfect substitute and they sounded great with him. It’s their music too, and they can do what the heck they want with it despite their iconic front man feeding the worms.
But THIS is unacceptable. So retarded. What a shameless attempt to connect with the teenyboppers and get some sort of modern-day relevance and hipness. It is horrible. Really bad. SKRILLEX is AIDS and any rock band that chooses to work with this faggy buttnugget loses any street cred in my book, no matter how many decades they took cultivating it.
I’m giving Ian a get-out-of-jail-free card for this since he was apparently smart enough to stay out of this trainwreck of douchebaggery. Robby, Ray, and John . . . . GO DIE!!! I hope you all trip on your old man loafers and crack your heads open on the cement. Jackasses.
That was an Aids/Gonorreah/Sars/Syphilus coctail with a Ebola virus chaser…
lots of books on jim, danny sugarmans no one here gets out alive must be checked out, probley the best one.

I remember Al reading NOHGOA on the tour bus all those many years ago.
FWIW, I can’t ever remember worshipping or even liking any rockstars, especially American rockstars. Especially American rockstars from California. I was briefly enthralled with LZ when I was about 14 years old. I never trusted hippies.
