the Doors...

[Andy TG]

Jim was sexy and a bad ass! He did huge amounts of LSD!

I'll always love him.

@ Madame - YOU would

Yes indeed! But I've loved the Doors forever it feels like!
I'm a weird woman Andy!

just like that movie natural born killers...people got up and left just as the movie started, and i was just sat there understanding and enjoying that movie with all the reasons to.

Your Weird? - Im Weird - we are all Weird! - "it dont help to be one of the chosen" LOL

My main surprise is that anyone who's into the Sisters has taken so long to discover the Doors.

*Coughs*
Erm...this may come as a surprise (or not), but I've never liked The Doors. I don't care for Jim's voice, and the repetitive keyboard bits in many of their tunes drive me batty. The only Doors tune that I enjoy at all is "The End." Alas.

I didn't say you had to like them did I?

Naah, but from dei's 1st post, it makes it sound like it's the first time he's heard them, which is what I was surprised by. After all, it's difficult to deny Jim Morrison's sartorial (if nothing else) influence on , especially in the early-to-mid 80's.

Sure thing. Especially the bearded stage.

@Emma - Which biography did you read? There are several - some of which tell a better story than others. The general view was that he was a bit of a drunken changeling. Nice, sensetive guy when sober. Arse when pissed.

[Hexe Luciferia]

Reminds me totally of my last ex!
Anyway, straight back on topic: I do like the Doors, and quite a lot to be honest. I always found their music very fascinating in a "sickish" way -sorry, don't know how put it better (I will be surely ridiculed for that ). First time I heard "The End" I was around nine-ten years old and I was really enthralled.
And I agree with markfiend about the influence Jim Morrison had on (in a way or another).

[christophe]

You asked

is there a movie?

I answered.

ok you got me there

@ Markfiend.
I think I only really discovered The Doors last year.
Not that I wasn’t aware of their existence, and when I started listening to their albums I knew most of the some from somewhere but it took me that long to go for it myself.
I think they are one of those bands most people know but the amount of people who actually know the music decreases every year.

I have become a fan, but they play a strange kind of music, sometimes it feels so cheerful and other times it feels so heavy/strong/disturbing. Defiantly music that comes with certain moods.

[Chairman Bux]

Never heard of them.

Nope. But I hardly can be said to have "discovered" them - more like, they were thrust upon my unwilling (and slightly horrified) ears when I was a wee lass and a captive audience (in the family car, in the art room at school, etc.).
Lest anyone think I'm singling out The Doors, I also happen to absolutely loathe The Stones; I've only recently (i.e., in the past decade, or so) gained a mild appreciation for Led Zep, who were one of my most hated bands over the years.

Doors have been installed throughout my house, yes. Plentifully.

Sorry, what was the question again?

Oh dear, that reminds me of when I moved into my first bedsit in Hartlepool and a prime example of how bad my sense of humour can be sometimes. The door to my room was only hanging onto the frame by one hinge. In a conversation about said door with my landlord, I said "I call it Jim."

"Why?" asked the landlord, looking rather confused.

"Well," I replied, "it's a barely functional, half-unhinged door innit?"

I rather liked that

But yes I knew mine was lame, but hey

[vicus]

only song i like is "take it as it comes" - but this version please

[Ozpat]

The Doors. Everybody loved the doors back in my days.
Not me. Nada!

I don't remember, sorry, I was 16 or so and smoked a lot of dope back then. I just recall thinking "what a bastard" every couple of pages and being put off the music for months.
Still, these days I'm one of the first people to go to the dancefloor when they get played in a pub.

[itnAklipse]

i'm sure most of you people would never ever understand what Morrison was about, and thus get nothing out of his music or of what he said.

i've been on the verge of liking the Doors for years, and it all came to head when i read an interview of Jim and everything clicked into place. i knew then and there that he's one of the few that has understood anything about life or the world.

He's no mindless hippie-garbage.

And if he was an arse, meybbe that's coz most people, and this most likely includes YOU, deserve nothing but such behaviour, truly. His bandmates, from all i can gather, were terrible nitwits, too. Just good musicians, much in the way of Marx & co. who also think Eldritch is a terrible arse.

'Nuff said, you'd never understand anyways.

[_emma_]

Ah. I can see you're now definitely infatuated with Mojo Risin', Dei, so no further discussion is possible at the moment.
I might be back to General Chat some time in the future, and then we might get back to the topic of differences and similarities between terrible arses and true gentlemen.

I'm with PiB on this one. Beach Boys on acid. Dying young doesn't make you a hero.
