Not true. The doors were finished when they decided they wouldn't being touring any more, that was pretty much the breakup though it was not stated explicitly. They release their final album because they were contracted to, but once Jim was in Paris it was clear by the way Jim spoke to the people he met, there that the Doors were over for good.
@@theodoreconstantini2548 Yeah, they actually released 3 more music albums as The Doors after Jim's death. I wouldn't say the first two are compelling save for being collectibles for a rabid Doors fan. They did an album featuring him reading his poetry aloud, set to new music, a few years after that.
I had a presumption about The Doors and avoided listening to their music ...until i was trapped in a flat/apartment in Dublin ,tripping my tits off on some strong acid after a walk about. The 2 pals i was with passed out ,and the only music in the place was ALL of The Doors albums. I picked one at random ,then sat back and watched the music dancing around the room over my head.....Been my favorite band ever since ,no matter what state im in !!
My uncle was a hippie photographer traveling between our hometown philly and Miami and L.A, he has the only known picture of Morrisons junk, he even went to court on their behalf and made the photo "disappear" the whole band had him come along to a Miami party, uncle Dave! The ultimate hippie
2:33 * What would be their last performance with Jim. After Jim died, they reunited & made 2 albums as a trio, with Ray & Robbie sharing vocal duties. They broke up for good in 1973
I was 17, in Duncanville, TX. tripping on a hit of microdot LSD, when I first heard "Horse Latitudes". 59 now. I still can not listen to it. The rest of The Doors I can handle. Just that one haunts me.

Big addict and you go to some foreign place where you don't have your regular social group with people who aren't just clinging to your fame, and so nothing to keep you somewhat in check. On top of it a lack of any real plans, nothing much to do. "I thought it was a great idea" like dude its an obvious recipe for disaster, a really big fkn risk, and this is not hindsight, this is just basic knowledge about addiction. If I were to guess Jim kept it together to finish the album but was desperate to get away from it all and just drink. I think the people around him kinda failed him there. Granted its not like he was a guy you could control, but you coulda probably kept him alive for at least another 10 years with some love and effort.
@@jamesball5743 Look I'm not saying I know. I'm only saying it appears weird to me. 1. because alcohol had been around forever 2. because other celebrities were dying too back then, it happened to a lot of people I don't blame his circle for his death, but I think they could have done more. Thinking more about it I might be a little naive here. I guess it makes sense for his bandmembers to think Jim just needed to get away from it all for a while. I don't know.
I discovered the doors at art college in the 80s didn't know anything about them what they looked like enjoyed them image free after loosing my dad the year before, their music guided me through my work, still love them to this day. X
Musically, I'd say the Doors didn't fall prey nearly as much as other bands did in the late 60s regarding the studio. In like 2 years people went from 4 track recording to 16, and became hell bent on filling every available track and cluttering up the music with overdubs. They always kept their sound pretty stripped down and simple with little effects. Hell I don't think Kreiger even owned any effects pedals for his guitar.
The documentary “Feast of Friends” is one of the best music docs I’ve ever seen. It features Jim having a breakdown on stage and having to be rushed out of the venue through the back.
They took an oath to uphold the law and that was the law. The majority of Americans at that time wanted rebels like Jim Morrison treated that way. Should give pause for thought as to the way things are now. The cops shouldn't go to jail, they just shouldn't be ordered to uphold laws that are clearly unjust.
I am not a big fan of brass and orchestra with rock but the Doors pulled it off for me. And that’s saying something. I hope Jim did go off to Paris and live a long wonderful life in peace like most of us hope he did. I wouldn’t blame him.
They made three - 'Other Voices' 1971, 'Full Circle' 1972, and 'An American Prayer' 1978. The last one was just music set to Morrison's spoken word recordings.
It's more amusing for me to imagine a drunk driver getting pulled over and arrested only to sit in the back of a police car yelling "drinking is not a crime. "
Love the Doors, what a great, unique and creative band LA Woman leaves to believe if Jim were still around they would be absolutely legendary to a greater extent than before
The Doors were a psy-op. Jim was the son of a high level Admiral who was involved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident and raised the US level of military service in the Vietnam War
@@jasonvoorhees8545 True. Jim Morrison was actually the commander of the My Lai Massacre in '68; hiding in plain sight is always the best. Janis Joplin also committed atrocities when she.....arerrgggghjjj.
Alcohol ADDICTION is a curse. I don't drink any alcohol at all, but I think it's good for casual drinkers to get rid of stress. Addicts are abusive, unproductive, unhealthy and broke. Most people do fine by it.
I've been there as well; I was a little disappointed how small the grave site was, a stone head surrounded by a metal fence as I recall. I threw a couple guitar picks inside the fence.
@@canUfeelMYface Alcoholics do, the problem is Alcohol directly disables the part of the brain that governs behaviour. We don't normally act on ever impulse that jumps into our heads, but drunk people are much more likely to act on impulses without considering the outcome.
Rolling Stone (the magazine) did an investigative journalism type piece about Jim's death, and gathered that he'd gone to buy heroine for Pamela Curson, and decided to try some himself, but overdosed, and that he was found in the bathtub because Pamela and some of her friends got the idea to try to shock him awake with cold water. She died of a heroine overdose herself, a year or so later.
The Doors and Jim were never the same after Miami, it almost destroyed the band, they lost about one million dollars, in shows, because of cancelations, a second European tour had to be cancelled. Before the Miami, the relations between, Jim and the others was pretty strained, because Jim 's antics, but after Miami relations went into meltdown. And Jim personality began to completely unravel with shadow of a conviction hanging over him.
So I was tripping on some purple-durple, pink micro-dot acid on a windowpane, dude, and The Doors were playing.... I'll never forget the look on my perfectly expressionless human face, man! The Doors were the soundtrack, bro!
Top 5 greatest band ever hands down they did things and had intangibles the stones and Beatles didn’t . Love the beetles and stones but the doors are next level.
I was obsessed with the doors as a teenager, I still think they are great, but I don’t think they have aged as well as the beatles. The beatles seem more dynamic. The doors were like a mood for the era they lived in, the beatles seem more to stretch out into the future, a bit more timeless. Although I am counting some doors songs on my all time list, when the music’s over, the end, peace frog, l.a woman, soul kitchen, moonlight drive/horse latitudes live version.
@ I prefer the doors because they were dark, deep, spiritual they were dangerous they were transcendent. Jim Morrison wasn’t scared to die . Robbie. John Ray were better musicians than The Beatles songs like not to touch the Earth or the end our songs, The Beatles or no other band could have made. I love the Beatles, but the Beatles are so commercial they’re so huge and pop . It’s like everybody has a piece of them. The doors were perfectionists. They made six tight albums. They didn’t make 20 albums like the Beatles did they weren’t all very good. The doors were perfectionists
@ when the Beatles tried to be dark and psychedelic it was cheesy , it came off stupid like a comical. When they made love ballads and rock/pop songs that’s that’s what made them incredible.
@@SkyNetGeneral- much as I love the doors, they weren’t consistently brilliant through all their albums, so the perfectionist tag is questionable. They were counterculture from the beginning and went through some mainstream acceptance phase, so the darkness was always with them from the outset.

The end was celestial ethereal just next level. The Beatles are good at what they did but they had their limits.
Heading down Miami way to a funeral for a friend. She was the one an eye witness who told me nothin happened at dinner key but Jim gettin drunk and off key and rambling on mid song. Thanks Laura for the good times and great weed, I have missed you for so long.
Mr. Hutchence was a REAL singer and a very talented songwriter who got where he did ORGANICALLY. The same CANNOT be said about the talentless drunkard who couldn't sing, with his military intelligence daddy (who started the Vietnam war at the Golf of Tonkin), and fully propped up by the C.I.A.. Morris was a PHONY, but fans are such pathetic creatures that he got away with it.
Youd think that being a lounge act pretending to be a rock group would have ended them. But no , it took this. Fuck the doors though. They were never good
I don’t know if I agree that he was wrongly convicted. Because he was for the most part guilty of everything he was charged with. He was guilty of a lot of “obscene” and “inappropriate” behavior that night at dinner key. But I do not agree that those things are wrong at all, especially in a country that’s supposed to be free.

Thanks to the most idiotic - and most drugged-up - audience in modern history, overrated garbage such as the Grateful Dead and The Doors made it big, both bands propped up by the C.I.A. - Nothing organic about 'em!
I grew up with their music. A lot of my friends were huge doors fans. Here's a little known fact about the doors. Not just Morrison, not just manzarek... All of them: The Doors just weren't very good.
They made some really good music, though I think their biggest hits were not their best. Unfortunately, Morrison began to rely on shock, and he wore that out. Hendrix did the same.
Thank you They re human beings whose public life and personal lives kinda get tangled up. I m empathetic to the extent that people in sports or entertainment might just enjoy their status and their ego goes out of orbit. One doesnt have to experience super- stardom. It is sufficient to know that we have an ego that success can just ...Alter. That revelry got shut down in a matter of months...the circus continues...even today. Ridiculous.
The Doors were a huge influence on my own songwriting, Jim Morrison in particular. I was a lead singer and guitarist in an alternative band in the 90’s. Jim was such a big influence on me that my drummer used to say I was the reincarnation of Jim. I was born in 1976, five years after his death. Do I believe I’m Jim Morrison? Hell no but I do understand the tortured part of him and the search for meaning.
@ I wasn’t trying to be Jim Morrison. I stayed true to my own persona. I did however (and still do) understand and empathise with the side of him that was a tortured poet. I have suffered from ill health and chronic pain since the age of 18 and had a very tumultuous childhood being subjected to abuse and abandonment when I was just 16. My poetry and songwriting was my outlet. That’s what my drummer picked up on.
After that fiasco no venue would want them in their premises anymore, something that made the other Doors very angry with Jim. Working with alcoholics SUCK big time!
"The disaster that ended The Doors’ career" never happened! Morrison died in '71, the rest of the group carried on for 2 more years with some success, and that was that. Click bait.
You cannot be the Lizard King, strapped on a rocket for a few years, let alone decades... you have to have faith in your talent standing on its own. Which I believe it did, but Jim did not
They do but the videos themselves are good edutainment unlike most clickbait slob . Not misleading informative. But I see your point I just think that's what you have to do in order to survive on UA-cam these days
The disaster which ended the Doors' career was Morrison's death.
Good riddance! A talentless drunkard and his overrated garbage "band".
The disaster that ended Morriston life was his alcoholìsm
Not true. The doors were finished when they decided they wouldn't being touring any more, that was pretty much the breakup though it was not stated explicitly.

Here's a little known fact about the doors. Not just Morrison, not just manzarek... All of them:
The Doors just weren't very good.
They made some really good music, though I think their biggest hits were not their best. Unfortunately, Morrison began to rely on shock, and he wore that out. Hendrix did the same.
Sooner or later he probably would have exposed himself. He was a disappointment to himself and his fans.
yeah, same case Kurt
Didn’t know Howard Stern was in the Doors
Thank you
They re human beings whose
public life and personal lives
kinda get tangled up. I m empathetic
to the extent that people in sports or
entertainment might just enjoy their
status and their ego goes out of orbit.
One doesnt have to experience super-
stardom. It is sufficient to know that
we have an ego that success can just
...Alter. That revelry got shut down in
a matter of months...the circus
continues...even today. Ridiculous.
He was the lizard king who thought he could do any thing!
"The Doors" a truly brilliant American band ..... a strange brilliance at that.. very odd genius
Absolutely!!
Horrific drinking problem.
Jims death ended the doors.
You cannot save a man from himself…
I anyways thought their lead singer was Jim Teshmacher!
The Doors were a huge influence on my own songwriting, Jim Morrison in particular. I was a lead singer and guitarist in an alternative band in the 90’s. Jim was such a big influence on me that my drummer used to say I was the reincarnation of Jim. I was born in 1976, five years after his death. Do I believe I’m Jim Morrison? Hell no but I do understand the tortured part of him and the search for meaning.
And another frontman trying to be Jim Morrison...
@ I wasn’t trying to be Jim Morrison. I stayed true to my own persona. I did however (and still do) understand and empathise with the side of him that was a tortured poet. I have suffered from ill health and chronic pain since the age of 18 and had a very tumultuous childhood being subjected to abuse and abandonment when I was just 16. My poetry and songwriting was my outlet. That’s what my drummer picked up on.
He wanted to LEAVE the Band!
That is the key!
He wanted to leave the out of control lifestyle! It fueled the Alcohol problem!
Check his facial expression. Jim was hilarious ha ha. People are strange.
After that fiasco no venue would want them in their premises anymore, something that made the other Doors very angry with Jim.
Working with alcoholics SUCK big time!
if it ended their career, then why are we still talking about them?
I always thought the same about the romans and the nazis
The only necessary Doors albums are 1, Strange Days, and LA Woman. Morrison Hotel if you want 4 good songs added in.
I didn't know that about The Soft Parade's recording...but given it's easily their worst album, it's not surprising.
LA Woman was NOT their last album. They released two albums after it.
I'm guessing it was a shortcut since it was the last album with Jim, but anyway you're right
He said “his final album” not “the doors last album”
Three. Other Voices, Full Circle, & American Prayer
They don't count, Jim was absent
Well that's a technicality
Don't take drugs, kids :(
Lots of important facts are wrong and using the wrong footage. Just a poorly researched video overall. Don't give up, but put more work into it.
Jim.
"The disaster that ended The Doors’ career" never happened! Morrison died in '71, the rest of the group carried on for 2 more years with some success, and that was that. Click bait.
Idiots…..all they had to do was wake up in the morning and make music….thats all.
Go to work and shut up….do the work.
Get your facts straight, this incident did not end the doors!
You cannot be the Lizard King, strapped on a rocket for a few years, let alone decades... you have to have faith in your talent standing on its own. Which I believe it did, but Jim did not
Your videos have clickbait titles.
They do but the videos themselves are good edutainment unlike most clickbait slob . Not misleading informative. But I see your point I just think that's what you have to do in order to survive on UA-cam these days
So this is why LA Woman was so good.............
Morrison and Cobain are the two worst frontmen in music history...
their shitcan attitudes ruined their legacy...
Jim ruined his legacy??53 years on and people r still intrigued by him.
@@pleidiolwyfimwlad2104 I think humbledb4jesus must have meant ruined it by shortening it.
@@saraloking5993 - uh oh, someone's offended...
hahahahahahaha
Morrison was a terrible person he self destructed and screwed all his band mates
I wanna start a cover band.
Ended ????
I think not
Dcan we mak a movie how constraitns e king
