I agree with previous posters, both Krieger and Densmore are vastly underrated musicians. In fact I think if any one the Doors had not been in that band, and their roles were filled by other musicians, the whole thing would not have worked. It is the unique, ecentric qualities of every member that made that band click.

Yes...huge doors fan here aswell. Actually, has anyone seen the doors of the 21st century? Im wondering if they are as good or worth seeing if they hit my area of the world.
I also just found out im going to paris for my 21st, so i'll be dropping by Jim's place in Pere LaChaise. Eerily beautiful that place is.
i was them with ian in 2003 i think here in cleveland
man, they still have it
ian astbury did a hell of a job
i would sit throughout the show and forget at times it was NOT jim, he really did well too bad densmore is being such a punk about allof this stuff it would be great to see him there too, but i also hear his ears are jacked so maybe not
the doors are my number 2 band ( not far from pj in my book)

According to ray manzarek, the movie was way off. He said that Jim wasn't this giant drunken bufoon who would shout poetry on top of cars and piss himmself all the time. The movie was entertaining, but i think that it exagerated the partying aspect of morrison.
i don't think it exagerated it a bit !!
from everything i read he was the wild man portrayed.
but it did NOT show his other side, the intelligent, soft side, the artist, the poet, the philosopher
the man was a super smart man with a dark void that took him over
like val quotes inthe movie
having the soul of a clown that forces himto blow it at the most crucial moments or somethig like that
when someone says party like a rock star
jim is the definition of that for sure
does anyone know where to get the video of eddie and the doors at the hall of fame induction on dvd??

I actually really enjoyed Oliver Stone's movie. It obviously had great music, but it was just a cool peak into the lives of the Doors no matter how much or how little it diverted from reality. I watched it to be entertained, and listen to some amazing music, which is exactly what this movie did for me. Keep in mind, that Jim Morrison, really was kind of a drunken stoned madman, who did have sex with lots of women. Also, Val Kilmer did an amazing job portraying Jim Morrison.

Morrison was the best frontman ever. He may have been a bit creepy, maybe sick and twisted. But one cannot deny the impact his presence and tremendous baritone had on late 80s/early 90s rock, Yes I direct that at messrs Staley, Cornell and Vedder.
Superb band with such talent and extraordinary innovation. Made their mark on rock and roll.

Does anyone have a link or the file of the Doors being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? I have the performances with Ed, but I have never seen the speech of who inducted them.
There's the spinner.com site, but for some reason im not able to view the clip. Hope somone knows where else I can look.
Hmmm I have the whole thing recorded but I'm not sure where to find it online.
I'm sure someone here will be able to help you though.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for BUMPING this thread!!! I was actually gonna BUMP it up the other day. Great to see it resurfaced.
I'm still grinning over Densmore's props to Ed! How awesome was that!?
I cannot even begin to process the thought of these guys touring together!

Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer

Hey wash_! Regarding the spinner.com site---I'm not sure if you've figured it out already but I'm hearing now that if you change the clock on your computer to a US time zone that it should work.
As a backup there's also this site that has it viewable through Winamp- http://www.winamp.com/music/artist.php?id=134417&p=0.
I hope one of those works for you!
I was just showing off the performances with Ed earlier today actually. It just makes me feel so proud seeing our guy up there completely fuckin nailing it & doing this legendary sound serious ass justice. He really captured the essesence, power, firey passion and intensity of Jim. It blows my mind!
Here's an old but good read of the amazingness of it all and the connections between the 2 from Five Against One of course....
So The Doors spent the next three decades mostly deprived of playing their own music with the all-important vocals—until their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, when Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder gave what many have called the only real tribute to the legacy of Jim-era Doors. Vedder, with a voice “uncannily like Morrison’s,” sang three songs (“Break on Through,” “Roadhouse Blues,” “Light My Fire”), fronting the surviving Doors in a performance that “sent chills down jaded spines all over the room,” according to Pearl Jam biographer Kim Neely.
Neely’s 1998 bio makes an interesting case for the Morrison-Vedder connection (besides both growing up in San Diego). And while I wish the new version fronted by former Cult figure Ian Astbury (another Morrison disciple) all the best, Neely’s book makes the incredibly unlikely vision of a Vedder-fronted Doors seem like the least offensive of possibilities:
“...[T]he two were very much alike. More than a throaty tenor, it was this rage-against-the-machine outlook Eddie had in common with Morrison, a hunger for truth and a hatred for hypocrisy that both strove to communicate... even when it meant angering.... Most notably, like Morrison, Vedder abhorred... the industry icon factory even as he clearly benefited from it. Both men were haunted by the same internal conflict, longing to be respected as artists rather than pinup gods....
They both needed their fame as desperately as they hated it.” •
I've always thought the 2 were very similar. And then to hear Ed nail these songs?! I mean damn! :eek:
Robby Krieger : The thing with Eddie Vedder was great at the Hall Of Fame induction. You know, he didn't want to do it at first, because he thought, "I can't do that, how can I fit into Jim Morrison's shoes?" But the Hall Of Fame people kept after him: "Come on, Eddie!" So finally he decided to do it. Two or three days before the rehearsals were set to begin, he decided to drive down to L.A. from Seattle in probably the biggest rainstorm we've ever had on the West Coast. He made it a third of the way in two days. He said he was listening to Jim the whole time, to the Doors. He said he really got into it. He finally made it on the last day of rehearsals. We had a few hours to rehearse and it came together real good.
Quite the trip Ed had getting there! I can just totally invision him blastin Riders On The Storm. haha. The "theme" song.
And check out Robby. It came together "real good", huh?
Well isn't he modest.

Hey! Yes...i've finally watched it! Great early stuff from Ed. And the performances are incredible. It's really haunting that Ed sounds so much like Morrison.
I grew up on The Doors man! My mum was really into them in the 70's, so when they had a coach trip to Paris on the 30th anniversary of Jims death in 2001 me & my husband made the trip over. While we were there we got to see Ray playing some Doors songs, and Manager Danny Sugarman talking about Jim, then they showed Jims film 'Hiway', which was really bad. but the whole weekend was awesome, lots of Doors music going on and some pretty cool people too. My fav song has to be 'Wild Child', I love that song
Damn! I know what you mean yosi. My parents saw The Doors too! Not to mention all the other bands. Bastards indeed!
wash_! Glad to hear it finally worked for you.
And completely agree about Ed and Jim.
OMG Hippyvik! That sounds amazing!!
Oooh Wild Child love! Excellent.
I got some Blue Sunday going on at the moment.
I want a super extended version of this beauty. haha. Even so, it's 2 minutes of pure bliss. So soothing and beautiful!
Speaking of extended pleasure...GLORIA?? :eek: Had that blastin earlier and it always hits me like a ton of bricks. JIMMY BOY! Good god! One of the most amazing things ever! Attacks me everytime.

Around twelve years of age (1980) I was up very late watching a documentary on the "The Doors" and my stepdad caught me. He wanted to know why I was watching it and I said I really liked their music. He let me borrow his albums and eventually have them. he told me how Jim lived down the road for a time in this place called the "Beau Arts". This was in Florida. I knew it as an artsy home for gay men so it freaked me out a little but he told me at the time Jim lived there it wasn't the same type of place.
So, everytime I drove past I thought of Jim. I went home in 2001 and took a drive to see it and it was torn down. Bummed me out.
The Doors were my favorite band until Pearl Jam. Ed and Jim will be my two favorite singers I'm sure til the day I die. Same with the bands however Zeppelin joins those two.
