This version cuts out a section of the keyboard solo, never heard this one, you definitely need to hear the whole solo, it is legendary one of best in rock.
It's just criminal. The beginning was cut out as well as multiple segments of the solos to fit some video makers vision. The whole flow of the song was lost. Asia and BJ got robbed of the real experience. The video also detracts from the song by trying to impose the video makers vision. They ruined the whole song experience.
Yep, would have been better to find the official audio version. This version is butchered.
@@TexasPride62 yeah, i hate those fanmade videos, they ruin reactions. Like the war pigs video (black Sabbath) everybody reacts to, just a big distraction.
yup.....the song was "chopped" and the video just doesn't belong.......
Well, it is still awesome, but you are absolutely right.
I hate to say it but, this song was hacked to pieces. Definitely edited, some stuff was missing. No reflection on you guys, you get a thumbs up no matter what.
Agree. This is not what was released on the album. It may be a radio edit, but it is not the original.
It was hacked badly. I wish Asia and BJ would give the real song a listen minus so w video makers interpretation.
Couldn’t agree more. Shame
This video has nothing to do with this classic.
That video was trash. They'd have been MUCH better off listening to a lyrics vid (or eliminating the video component altogether).
You need to hear the long version
Asia, BJ… NOW you’re talking a TRUE classic!!! 👍😎
Memories: Mom, me (about 9 yrs old) my sister and brother (all of us) sitting on our porch in the evening while a light summer rain was falling. My neighbor across the street decides to play the Doors album and Riders On The Storm comes on and sets a mood.
I thought you were going to say your mom and siblings were driving through the desert and saw an accident. And one of the souls lept right into you.
@@MikeB12800 OMG. Hehe. That's a story for paranormal stories but no that did not happen. Thankfully.
Cool.
Such a mesmerizing song to hear when I was a kid and this got lots of airplay. DJs would often purposefully play it on a rainy night. Had a little AM radio next to my bed and heard it many times along with other great music from that time. I was 11 when it came out.
Ray Manzarek is genius on keyboard. Along with Jim’s vocals. There is a clip on here of Ray talking about them recording this song. Very interesting!
The crazy thing also, is Jim's whisper track on here shadowing his vocals...mmmmmmm, yummy
That left hand-bass line of Manzarek's is so iconic
Rays playing made Jim Morrison sound good!! I think if he was here he would agree. Jim I mean. Rip ray mansarek
The song can be seen as an autobiographical account of Morrison's life: he considered himself a "Rider on the storm." The "killer on the road" is a reference to a screenplay he wrote called The Hitchhiker (An American Pastoral), where Morrison was going to play the part of a hitchhiker who goes on a murder spree. The lyrics, "Girl you gotta love your man" can be seen as a desperate plea to his long time girlfriend Pamela. Source: Songfacts
From his HWY …
Love....The Hitchhiker
Based on the serial killer Billy Cook.
Oh my days , this iconic song by The Doors always gaving me chills , this song is a legend and always will be , sadly this is the song from final album by The Doors before Jim Morrison death back 1971 , thank you for another great reaction Asia and BJ , you guys are amazing ❤
Thank you!
Not a weak link in the Doors. All the band members bring something to the table and perfectly complement each other. Timeless.
*complement
That piano solo is everything.
"Riders on the Storm" defined vibe decades before vibe was even a thing. "There's a killer on the road \ His brain is squirmin' like a toad" -- 'nuff said. Remember the hypno-toad on Futurama? The lyric "Into this world we're thrown" supposedly invokes Heidegger's concept of thrownness -- a state of being in the present "with all its attendant frustrations, sufferings, and demands that one does not choose, such as social conventions or ties of kinship and duty." This was the last song Jim Morrison recorded with the band before he died. The video is something new.
I thought LA Woman was his last recording
I would be surprised if Morrison read Heidegger. Nietzsche, yes.
@@OroborusFMA The first English translation of Being and Time was published in 1962, so I would not be surprised; However, I suspect Morrison likely picked up on the concept of "thrownness" as a comparative literature student at UCLA rather than directly from reading Heidegger.
@@SamC379 A 2016 article in Rolling Stone says "Riders on the Storm" was Morrison's last recorded contribution to The Doors. Perhaps you've got the album and the song mixed up?
Keep in mind that many of these old songs are being accompanied by newer video overlays. These are the interpretations of fans but not necessarily those of the author of the song.
One of the greatest songs ever made. In any genre.
Asia & BJ, you’ll love their “Break On Though" and "Touch Me" !!
A other vote for “Touch Me”
Doors is a deep dive that will change you. When the Musics Over, The End, Peace Frog and Soul Kitchen... and btw, Morrison died in '71.
Did He?
@@jamesalexander5623 who knows... I remember elvis "dying." Morrison was the year I was born.
To our beloved channel hosts, their family & ALL watching… Have a safe & Happy Easter 🥚🐇🥚. Best wishes to all… From Australia 🇦🇺✌️😎🇦🇺
you as well , have a safe and happy weekend
Australia needs a proper native flag....not a knock-off UK state flag 🙏🤡
Same to you Digger. 🇬🇧
@@penderyn8794 … I agree with you 100% but our gutless, spineless “leaders” are too busy sucking up & kissing ass to the monarchy 😖😖😖. We’re strong enough to stand on our own as a republic but all of these crazy, looney political groups always destroy any chance we get to vote as to whether or not we want to be a republic or not. The monarchy contributes NOTHING to us. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with the flag we’ve got until SOMEONE has the balls to change it.
@@johnathanstruble1064 … Unfortunately, I’m working through the Easter weekend but I’m getting paid exceptionally good money to do so, so how could I say no? 💰☝️😁💰
Wife here..Wow..!!..So Beautiful and haunting at the same time!!..Thanks for your intelligent insight!
That is an electric piano that Ray Manzarek plays in this song. This was a shorter version of his solo.
Either a Fender Rhodes, or a Wurlitzer...
I love this song cuz it's just so relaxing. Ray manzarek on keys is a genius but they were all really good. And the rain and thunder sound effects chest makes it perfect. His voice is so good for this as well. And I have always interpreted that bit about love your man as being about the cycle of life. Because he immediately follows it with something about how everything depends on the woman and for that reason life will never end. None of us would be alive if a woman didn't give birth to us.
My favorite Doors song. Others to check out: Break On Through, Touch Me, Hello I Love You, Light My Fire, Love Me Two Times, Love Her Madly, Peace Frog, and Soul Kitchen
This video is just someone's interpretation of the song !
Jim was one of a kind...
good luck trying to figure out what he was thinking/singing about ✌😎
The keyboard is a Fender Rhodes!
The keyboardist Ray Manzerick was playing a fender rhodes electric piano
Manzarek
Your relationship is ADORABLE!! I haven't even started listening to your reaction and I'm laughing and Happy! Thank you, PJ 😄🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Morison was different, his father was a high ranker in the US Navy and you should find the video of his father talking about his thoughts of Jim and his sudden fame with his southern-ish accent ..It is so funny..
Iconic Band & Song.
It was released in June 1971, as the second single from L.A. Woman, their sixth studio album and the last with singer Jim Morrison. The song reached number 14 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100,[3][4] number 22 on the UK Singles Chart,[5] and number seven in the Netherlands.[6]
What a great album that is. The whole album is great
This song was released in June 1971 & Jim Morrison died July 3 1971.
I remember mom having this LP and I had this mimi record player. I would sneak the album out when my mom was out and playing this song in my room. As an 8 year old listening to the thunder and rain then the haunting keys coming in just blew my mind. Needless to say I became a huge doors fan. Thank you mom
That animated video actually captured what I always imagined about this song, a journey on a motorcycle through a storm. Great selection, but definitely check out the full-length album version with every part intact.
OK, I preach this to every reaction video to this. How does Jim Morrison make this sound so eerie and mysterious? Listen closely and you'll hear him double his lead vocal line with a whisper!
EXACTLY!!
/my immortal heroes/:: .. What can I tell you, I simply cry when I hear this magical song. It throws me into some dimensions of consciousness, full of pain and tolerance. I simply cannot regret that some genius artists are not there. They are etched in my soul, and that's why I always cry silently for them.. They are indelibly woven into my growing up and maturing... Thank you for choosing the song..
Jim Morrison NEVER disappointed! He had a one and only VIBE!
The Doors are so soulful and yet so different! Manzarek on keyboards Is awesome! Great song! Love the message from the 60’s and 70’s! Still appropriate to today’s times! Genuses!
LA woman is an iconic album and the Doors were an iconic band.
If you're ever on a roadtrip and driving in a thunderstorm put this song on and take a ride
I am 53 as of yesterday and only when Asia described what the song means did it click in my head and I understood too. Riders on the storm. We are the riders and the storm is life.
Keyboard is the correct reference! A keyboard plays a library of synthesized sounds including accurate samplings of musical instruments such as piano, drums, strings, woodwinds, and brass..!! Old school keyboards were much larger and very heavy containing tube circuits like old tube televisions. There were external custom synthesizer/filter modules that were used to create that unique sound that each band was known for! Experience truly unique synths by listening to Boston Third Stage Album!
My favorite Doors song.
Love Jim Morrison! ❤ he was so 🔥!
I love this song/music. It's amazing how much the keyboard contributed to The Doors music. 💞
I am working on a song which is a medley of this song and "Ghostriders in the Sky". I call it "Ghostriders on the Storm". They strangely fit together almost perfectly.
This one may have been released after his death. It has always had a haunting quality to it. I believe that may have also been true about Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay". Thanks y'all.
LOVE The Doors 🔥🖤
This vid has nothing to do with the song.
Eric Stratton, Exactly. Never has there been a fan based video worth a damn. Especially for a first time listener. Always distracts from the music. Better off with the straight original track.
Has a jazz vibe to it. The Doors' masterpiece. 😎
I had the pleasure of hearing this done live. The keyboard is Ray Manzarek, an artist in his own right. Jim Morrison the lead was taken by heroin and is buried in Paris.
Oh you’re so lucky ❤
That was an edited version. The guitar and piano solos were shortened.
I thought it was. Why did someone do that??
Sacrilege!!
Whenever there’s a rain storm or shower here where I live, I play either this song or Zepplin’s Rain Song without fail.
My absolute favorite Doors song. just love the feel of this song and how it hits.
So years ago The Doors played the Pier in SEATTLE. Ian Astbury from The Cult was the lead singer. When they played this song the sun was setting below the ocean the sky was red, orange and purple. It was a near religious experience at the time. I will never forget that moment in my life.
Wow, I'm NW myself. Ian must have sounded great with the band.
@@Itelkner it was incredible, he laid back and let the band do thier thing. He was just the cherry on top. It was the perfect show.
Been riding a Harley for over 40yrs. Whenever I got stuck in a rainstorm, especially at night, alone, this song played in my head.
Jim Morrison was one of the many to call Laurel Canyon just outside of Hollywood his home. There is a book about Laurel Canyon and the connections of the musicians that came from there during the 60s. It can be downloaded for free as a pdf. It explains a lot about the time period. One thing worth mentioning is Jim's dad, the Admiral that was in charge of the naval ship used as a false flag in the Gulf of Tomkin to start the Vietnam war. I always envision the store Don McLean referred to in American Pie as the country store across the street from Jim's Laurel Canyon apartment. What I am trying to say is, the book on Laurel Canyon is a rabbit hole worth going down because so many musicians were gathered in that small area at that specific time in history.
Pure "head" music. Sit back in the dark with headphones on. One of my favorites.
This song is epic one of the greatest songs ever written and performed by arguably the greatest band ever The Doors rest in peace Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek 🚪
Ray Manzarek is the genius on the keyboards. Jim Morrison was a poet who became a rock star. The Doors and Morrison actually became more famous after Jim's death in 1971 and the book, No One Here Gets Out Alive in 1981 😎
Thanks for the reaction. Check out Waiting for the Sun, Love Street, The Spy, Love Me Two Times.
Timbuk 3 "Life Is Hard" (Official Music Video)
The music, storm like in the background....incredible!!!!!!
Great Door’s song. Distracting video. Hate when they do that.
"Nobody gets out of here alive" is Jim Morrison's biography. It covers everything, including that his estranged father was an Admiral
in the US Navy during the Vietnam war. There are pictures of him with officers on his dad's Aircraft Carrier. It also covers his death wish.
Love the song , the video I can do without.
Just a bit of music history that makes this song eerie is jim Morrison laid down these vocals in a L.A studio and left for Paris and died weeks later ,so this was his last recording
An actor out on loan refers to the days when actors were under contract to a specific studio and the studios would loan an actor to another studio for a project and would get paid back likewise at some point
The keyboard work is genius.
“Usually what I’m thinking is not what you’re thinking“ 😁😆😆
That's an electric piano that Ray Manzarek is rockin' on this one. I like at the end of the song how the piano sounds like raindrops gentlyfalling. Billy Preston plays a mean electric piano on The Beatles song "Get Back".
Just saying "Hey" from Crowley Texas!❤️👍
The reference to "actor out on loan" is to the old Hollywood system where actors signed contracts with a particular studio which could last a really long time. Then they had no control over what parts they got or what movies they were put into. And the studio could loan them out to another studio to play a part in a movie without their consent. In other words you get put into a situation which you have no control over at all.
The Doors are my top 5 anyday❤️❤️❤️
By far the best Doors tune!
Lmao Asia I love your laugh
Okay I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. The longer version is just 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 me and my 3 year old daughter love to jam this song! Every-time the intro starts and the thunder storm plays me daughter gets so excited 😂 great music I’m loving the review 😊❤
Ray Manzarek was playing a Rhodes Piano in this song. Robby Krieger was playing a tremolo guitar. The song entered the Billboard Top 100 on the day Jim Morrison died July 3, 1971. It made to number 14 in the charts. This song was on the L.A. Woman album. Robby Krieger and John Densmore are the only members still alive. RIP Jim Morrison (July 3 1971), and Ray Manzarek (May 20, 2013),
@@TANTRUMGASM It's a guitar with a device that temporarily changes the pitch of the strings. It gives a vibrato sound. Hope that helps.
You can really hear the early CA surf sound reflected here, especially in Krieger's guitar work. They were totally Cali boys. Channeling Miserlou, LOL.
You guys continue to roll out some classics and truely enjoy them!
The Doors my opinion jim was the first rebel of rock !!!
Not even close
Everything The Doors does is a true classic is it true
Hey Asia great insight commentary on the song! 🔥♥️
Thanks Asia...for the good laugh...
I agree with you. I love that organ sound.
The thing about Jim Morrison is that not only is his voice one of rock's most recognized but his career was only about 4 or 5 years long. He was simply too out of this world and unpredictable. It drove the Doors up the wall. They could have lasted for decades. Great songs have kept their legacy alive. Jim's final work here is off the LA Woman album.
The song is a masterpiece
The keyboard's an electric piano.
What inspired Jim Morrisson to write the lyrics to Riders on the storm. Is about Billy Cook who murdered 6 people while hitchhiking from Missouri to California in the early 50s. So it´s based on a true story. Jim was an great rock poet, sadly he ended up in the 27 club
Keep in mind,,,,when watching a video,,,,you're watching the DIRECTOR'S interpretation of the song. Sometimes it's best to just close your eyes and listen. 👍😎
Song was based on Billy Cook known as the "hitch hiker serial killer" yes it is a dark song but the music is Legendary
If you want to go for a Doors ride....try The End.....whoa
This is the last song The Doors did as a group. They were barely talking to each other and barely got through the recording session. IMHO this was their best song regardless of the turmoil.
The keyboard that you can here being played brilliantly by Ray Manzarek was a Vox Continental Organ.
While Ray did play a Vox organ, on Light My Fire for instance, this is obviously not an organ but a Fender Rhodes electric piano.
I was mesmerized by this song when I was a kid. Nothing like hearing it on a rainy night. A total vibe in itself. At 63 I still get the same feeling when hearing it.
Absolutely timeless
This is an iconic song, also if you don't know, Snoop Dogg did a remix of this song, where he raps with different lyrics, it's a good different version that I think you will enjoy!!💯🔥😎
It's either like a fender Rhodes or a Wurlitzer electric piano there was a few other ones Vox made an electric piano I think it was called a continental I can't remember what Ray Manzarek played
Sounds like a Rhodes, but I'm not 100% sure...
So much to learn about the Doors.
that was my best laugh in a while "people ridin on storms" thanks for that one
This song always reminds me of the movie "The Hitcher". Especially the line about if you give this man a ride sweet family will die...
Based on serial killer Billy Cook.
FYI... "Ridin' the Storm Out" is a song by REO Speedwagon that's worth checking out.
Jim Morrison!! This is my favorite!! This is a significant message for what’s going on in the world today. Y’all nailed it!! Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank y’all! Be safe! 🎵✌️
I too,think of people riding on the storms🤣😉🤘🏼
Good evening from Manchester, England.
I’m glad you are reacting to The Doors. Riders On The Storm great song, in fact all The Doors tracks were good.
Here’s another great track of The Doors you should react to and that is there 11 minute song titled The End.
Good morning from down the road in Sheffield
