-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Фільми й анімація
Regarding the album cover...the “freaks” aren’t under a circus tent. They’re out on the street, walking among us. Because, in some ways, we’re all freaks. 😉
I once worked for a company whose recruiting tagline was "Too many clowns, not enough circuses." It was printed on a yo yo and given out at hiring events.
I've always been different, and I listened to this tune a lot.
@@michaeldowson6988 In those days, a "freak" was a generic term for those who "knew"!
Being strange I can relate love the doors
It's an S tier! 🎶🎵🎼
Next Doors songs:
Riders on the Storm
Roadhouse Blues
I think they did them. I know they did Riders at least.
@@ralphdyer4471 Oops - didn’t know/remember. Thanks!
Somewhere on youtube I've seen a video where Ray Manzarek is explaining how Riders came about. It's a great video that I think they'd love to see (after reacting to Riders first of course!)
edit: I went and found it. thankfully I had "iked" it, so I knew it was the right one! ua-cam.com/video/3deQXzV-qTk/v-deo.html
@@ralphdyer4471 I was just looking... they did LA Woman, but haven't found Riders yet.
The Crystal Ship.... Yet another masterpiece
Sounded strange, but in a great way in 1967, when I was just 14. The Doors appeared as if from another planet. There was nothing quite like them.
There is a timeless quality to their music as a whole which is almost unique among the popular musical artists of that particular era. Maybe Stevie Wonder is similar, but a few years later.
That other planet was the Whiskey a go go, where the Doors were the house band before they got big. They played with Johnny Rivers, The Turtles and Buffalo Springfield on the same card
The Doors appeared at the perfect time. I was 15 in 1967. The Summer of Love was right around the corner with all kinds of amazing music yet to be born. From a musical perspective, we were lucky to be young teens during this time. From a social turmoil perspective, we lived through some intense times. The Vietnam war was on a lot of our minds as we approached draft age. We escaped into our music in a big way.
I was 15 and just entered my 1st band. We badly did a few Doors songs.
@@richardhooser5096 That’s not the only thing we escaped into back then 😂. I even named my first dog acid
The contrast between Manzarek's happy, carnivalesque keyboards and the vaguely sinister undertones of Morrison's lyrics and vocals is fascinating, and runs through many Doors tunes.
The Doors were and are unique among rock acts...the deft keyboards/base, sinister multi-layered lyrics, and the finger-picked phrasing on guitar...
When I was a kid, one of my older brothers would play this song a lot. When it got to Ray's solo spot near the end, I always pictured in my mind curtains rising on a stage filled with skeletons wearing top hats and carrying canes, doing a soft shoe tap dance number....Dont ask me how, its just how it sounds to me lol
Great discription Mr. D!
The Smiths did a lot of upbeat tunes with somber lyrics.
Agreed - Love Her Madly comes to mind.
" Peace Frog " Next!!! 💎
Personal fave Doors song. Had the opening riff as my ring tone a while back.
@@Yaktahbay I always thought it was the same song, until i bought the CD in my 40's.
Still amazes me that song is not on their Greatest Hits Double CD. That’s how many great song they have!
Agreed. Wild Child, too!
What I like most about this song is that it reminds me of absolutely no other song. It stands on its own.
One of my fav is "When The Music's Over" is an epic song.
Or End Of The Night. What a track!
Such a great great excellent EXCELLENT, Badass song. Masterpiece!!!
I know right that song is underrated to
When The Music’s Over from the same album is on par with The End.
That's one I am suggesting.
I prefer when the musics over than the end
I think Andy and Alex just rely on the top Spotify hits. I doubt they’ll ever go that deep for a song like that.
They're both trips! Soft Parade title track also...plus Riders on the Storm, LA Woman...plus Rock is Dead if you've ever heard that non album curio.
Not To Touch The Earth is up there as well.
Echo and The Bunnymen did a killer cover of this for the "Lost Boys" soundtrack.
a fantastic cover!
best cover of this song EVER.
Amazing organ playing.
Freaking excellent movie!!
They do an excellent version of Roadhouse Blues too
For your next Doors reaction, I recommend "Hello, I Love You". Eventually, you should also hear "Roadhouse Blues".
I'd go with Roadhouse Blues first!
@@danieljodrey8863 I wouldn't mind if they did that, as long as they hear both of them at some point.
As an 80's child I highly recommend the movie the Lost Boys. The soundtrack is amazing. This song is in it.
As covered by Echo and the Bunnymen.
i was literally gonna say that this song ALWAYS makes me think of the lost boys
They HAVE to watch "Lost Boys".
Loved "Lost Boys"! A classic! 😎
Great movie! I worked at the Boardwalk that summer and watched SO much of the filming. Soundtrack was awesome!
'Roadhouse Blues' is The Doors banger.
Riders on the Storm, one of my favorite songs of all time. Draws you in and keeps you there the whole time.
xxx xx my favorite songx of all time
By far not my favourite Doors song. Crystal Ship is amazing, as is Moonlight Drive, they are probably up there with my favourites.
@@garymaidman625 everyones tastes are not the same, whatever blows your skirt up.
@@kilgoringtroutless6295 that's why I said it's not my favourite. It's a good song, but I believe the Doors have better songs. Obviously your opinion is that it's your favourite, my opinion is that it's not.
@@garymaidman625 I would say the same about Moonlight Drive, but Crystal Ship is definitely my second pick, #9 in my list of 1000 by any artist.
They should really check out “Touch Me” by The Doors. It will be such a cool and surprising contrast to everything else they’ve heard from them. Plus, it’s just a really good song.
And it’s “stronger than dirt!”
When The Music’s Over is S~Tier Doors. Up there with The End... There, I said it! 🔥🔥🔥
I prefer When The Music's Over.
I prefer it too
You need to do L A Woman. Their best song in my opinion.
I definitely think they should do LA Woman - a great showcase for both Morrison and the rest of the band.
They did it on Patreon I believe
Amazing song. If they did it already I hope they post it eventually.
They already have done it.
The End should be experienced from the opening scene of Apocalypse Now.
Imagine feeling depressed, going for a walk and coming back feeling better with most of a song written in your head. I'm not sure if this still happens nowadays, but I hope it does.
Hard for that to happen when 16 people all write songs under the one artists name. All inorganically produced
RAP ?
I'm sure it does but maybe not always on walks...
@@kirbygulbrandsen4507 Hip Slop and Sap music are crap today.
Nutbush City Limits
Just occurred., Tina Turner has never been reviewed.
That's the No 1 Black female rockstar artist ever. No one is even close. Overdue or what?
Aretha
@@scottsellers7055 Aretha was the Queen of Soul and a world class star, but Tina was a *Rock* star. Both great, would be hard pressed to choose between them but they played, mostly, in slightly different lanes.
@@scottsellers7055 Would have called Aretha soul rather than rock, but let's not quibble, lets have both. I'll say a little prayer for you.
The Doors do have another "strange" song from the same album, "Strange Days" but I'd go with others with "Peace Frog" as the next Doors track to check out.
Love Strange Days, but I pretty much love all their songs.
If you do Peace Frog you have to do it with Blue Sunday - the songs just go together much like Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago by ZZ Top. In my opinion you should just do the full album reaction to Morrison Hotel.
I actually prefer Strange Days to People Are Strange. Just has a darker, more gothic feel to it. This is kind of a throwaway for me
I love their hard-psych stuff like Strange Days, or Not To Touch The Earth, End Of The Night, etc.
Yes strange days!
Absolutely loved The Doors album, thank you! 🙌 Peace Frog, Roadhouse Blues and Riders on the Storm, 3 more you need to check out. 💚💚💚
The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)....well shit, the whole L.A. Woman album!
When The Music's Over is a must listen if you like going on long journeys with the Doors.
Alex has definitely fallen in love with The Doors
🎸ROADHOUSE BLUES from the Album MORRISON HOTEL is 💯% 🔥
I imagine Lurch playing this on his harpsichord. Great song!
🤣
Lol
Time for "The Soft Parade". You'll love it!
Live in P.B.S...
"Moonlight Drive" is a great Song. The first Song he wrote that they composed. They were so impressed by his writing, that they wanted him immediately on board.
"No one remembers your name, when you're strange"
One of those songs that you just feel like you heard it before the very first time you hear it. One of the strange consequences of perfection I guess.
Lol! As I said in my comment, I met the little guy in the hat when I was a third grader around 72 our 73. I remember his name because he was and incredibley nice and he was not too famous to speak to a kid. He was part or the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus. He was also a Munchkin in.the Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland. Mischu was his name.
2 favs memories of Doors: still dancing to LA Woman after college.. going to sleep every night for I don't know how long listening to Riders on the Storm in high school...
This song always reminded me of what would have happened if Jim Morrison became Randy Newman.
Not sure if you guys have done the Doors "Riders on the Storm". Love that song. Lots of memories with it. Very moody.
I agree. "Riders on the Storm" Great song.
I think typically Jim would sing the song for the band, and the band would add their parts based on the notes he was singing
Certainly American Prayer 😉
The Doors Riders on the Storm is a must. The drum fills all the way through, love it.
When you guys listen to The Doors’ “LA Woman” or “Riders on the Storm” those will become your favorite Doors songs!
Gloria, Live is a brilliant Doors song.
GOOOOOOOOOD MORNING A&A FAMILY!
☮️♥️♾️
Good evening from the UK!
Happy Friday, @John H!!!
You should hit some Traveling Wilburies. The band is made up of George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynn (Elo)
Excellent music, by in my opinion, the greatest supergroup
Echo and the Bunnymen did a reallly decent cover of this for the Lost Boys soundtrack, back in the 80s. Absolutely worth a listen.
Personally, I think it's a case where the cover improves on the original, but they are both great takes.
One of the best soundtracks ever
@@joelhahn2501 Agreed!
I would love to hear them to react to ANY (original) Echo & the Bunnymen song. Mac was great when very young and stil is/still performs. One of my favorite bands. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone react to them. If I’m wrong, please tell me who did.
@@foxandscout unfortunately they don't do a lot of 80s
Next: BIG STAR - THIRTEEN
She's Come Undone by The Guess Who.
Roadhouse Blues is a must listen.
"The Soft Parade" - When I was back there in seminary school
There was a person there
Who put forth the proposition
That you can petition the Lord with prayer
YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!
you Cannot...
Live in PBS...!!!!!👍
When the Musics Over is my personal favorite.
Got a poll for songs about the sun: (1) Invisible Sun - The Police, (2) Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - Elton John, (3) Waiting for the Sun - The Doors, (4) When that Evening Sun Goes Down - Van Morrison.
Good poll! You could also add Blister In The Sun - The Violent Femmes
Find Your Place in the Sun - Pablo Cruise
Walking on the sun, Black hole sun, so many others.
When The Music's Over, The Soft Parade and Light My Fire are definitely worth listening to.
The Soft parade. This is the best part if the trip. This IS the trip. The best part, I really like 👍
good pick today, but When the Music's Over is a must do!
Hello Alex and Andy! Not sure if you have already, but if not then Peace Frog should definitely be reacted to!!!
Peace and love from Greece
New poll idea: Songs about school. Choices could include Schools Out by Alice Cooper, My Old School by Steely Dan, Good Morning Little Schoolgirl by Ten Years After, Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard by Paul Simon, Smoking In The Boys Room by Brownsville Station etc etc
Alice Cooper - School's Out
Need more Alice!!!!
great idea!.....little schoolgirl, rough lyrics...but a song way back in the day where i enjoyed both alvin lees and leo lyons brilliance....alvin, t.y.a....a band that to me never got its just due!!!
They’ve already done my old school FYI
for your strange theme - Grateful Dead, "Truckin" . no more memorable line than "what a long strange trip its been"
Next up:
LA Woman
Roadhouse Blues
Riders On The Storm (Long version)
Good call!
They did at least LA Woman and Riders. Not certain about Roadhouse.
They did all of these on Patreon.
@@jtok3459 I don’t have Patreon, oh well.
The song's composition started in early 1967. According to Doors drummer John Densmore, he and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, who had then been roommates, were visited by Jim Morrison who appeared to be "deeply depressed." At Krieger's description, they later took a walk along Laurel Canyon in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles. Morrison returned from the walk "euphoric" with the early lyrics of "People Are Strange". Intrigued by the new lyrics, Krieger was convinced that the song was a hit upon hearing the vocal melody
An interview they said that Jim wrote this song in about 5 to 10 minutes. He was feeling kind of depressed and he went off by himself.
It's been a while since I've read any Doors books and member autobiographies, but I seem to recall Manzarek saying Jim would just recite his poems and they would find melodies in them as a group.
Jeff Buckley Grace album is a must
One of my all time favorites. This album is haunting and beautiful, the emotion that was captured is palpable. The tragedy of his passing just adds to it.
Unfortunately, most of the Boomer subscribers to this channel are probably clueless about Jeff. Their loss.
@@Daniel-415-Ponce I totally agree, Jeff is one of those artists that doesn't fit a genre or have a comparison. Even if A&A don't react to it, and you are reading this, do yourself a favor and give it a listen!
@@Downstreamphoto
I am well-acquainted with all of Jeff Buckley's work. I had the privilege of meeting him and seeing him perform live multiple times back in 1995. If A&A ever get around to reviewing any of his songs, they should definitely do "Grace," "Dream Brother" and "Hallelujah."
@@Daniel-415-Ponce Agreed, all great choices. My favorite song is actually Lover You Should've Come Over. The lyrics paint a vivid picture in my mind every time I hear it and the mood the instruments set is so real. 😉 btw I am totally jealous that you got to see him live. I was too young to appreciate his music and only really discovered him after he was gone.
Hey Guys!!! You need to check out the Doors "The Soft Parade", it has everything that the Doors could do in one song.
This is the best part of the trip . . .
The song that made me a Doors fan. One of their best in my opinion
@@thatoneguyagain2252 This is the trip - the best part, I really like....
People have ALWAYS been strange! Have you guys listened to The Soft Parade? Krieger and Manzarek are still alive and Manzarek's genius comes through on every song
First album I ever purchased. Used to listen to it through headphones incredibly loud when I was 12, still listen to it loud through headphones and I’m 66. Weird scenes inside the goldmine!
@robert rosello
Ray Manzarek died in 2013.
Robby Krieger and John Densmore are still alive.
Loved your reactions today. "Touch Me" is another one you gotta react to from The Doors. Cheers!
Lou Reed's Velvet Underground was a lot like the Doors in the late 1960s (i.e., dark, not all peace and love), just without the success. Worth exploring, too, especially the legendary first LP.
....and Bowie loved the Velvet Underground
I prefer Lou Reed after the VU. Seen him often throughout his career. I love him and I miss him. RIP, Lou. React to Rock n Roll, Heroin, take a Walk on the Wild Side... But my favorite song is a quiet one: Fly Into the Sun. (Not to be confused with Ride Into the Sun.)
they were nyc version of the doors... reed lashed out a lot at morrison, b/c imo deep down, he was jealous.
It's called a tack piano. They put thumbtacks in the hammer heads to replicate the sound of an old saloon piano with worn down, hardened felt heads.
Since we're Floridians, I voted for Gator Country on your poll today.
I enjoy seeing the songs with which I grew up, and perhaps take for granted, through your sets of new and musically educated ears. Thanks, men!
To me this song takes me back to school in the 70’s/80’s. I was bullied as a kid. I related to this song. I always felt like a stranger, to myself and to my friends. So I never though about other places or customs. I took as I was the stranger. And people were strange to me because of it. Thanks guys. Great vid!!!
Or if your family moved around a lot. New schools, new people every other year or so.
You gotta react to LA Woman!! First time with an actual bass player in studio and the drive of the rhythm section pushes Morrison's lyrics into the stratosphere!! Highly recommended!! 👍🏻✌🏼💯
They did. They didn’t rate it highly by the way.
There was a studio bass player on every Doors recording.
The next Doors song you should do is Moonlight Drive, or Peace Frog
glad you said that the doors are one of the greatest Bands Ever.. in every facet of musicianship.. mind-blowing composition and obviously the coolest craziest lead singer of all time
See that Genesis album behind you? It's got "I know what I like in your Wardrobe on it". Hint hint...
Lawn mowers are strange...
@@kennethbenson2931 It's the way they walk...
I gave them that album hoping they play some of the songs. They did Firth of Fifth already then did Dancing with the Moonlit Knight on a deep cut live stream. They don’t seem to be into Genesis even though they love Rush and ELP and Jethro Tull so I don’t get it.
What a week guys thank you..... Gotta love the lizard king on friday
Jim Morrison wrote so many really good songs. "Hello, I love you", "Riders on the storm", "Love her madly", "Roadhouse Blues", way to many to list here. He wrote as far as I know 46 songs. To answer your question the lyrics came first. He often battled depression. This song came to him one evening when he had been talking to a friend about his depression, and realized that people are strange when your a stranger. That their faces did look ugly and that when suffering depression the streets did seem uneven because you can't really feel at those times that you are standing on solid even ground. Then the music was built around the song. This was the way with almost all of his songs. He honestly was an excellent poet who we are able to enjoy lyrically. As always excellent reaction guys. Stay safe and lots of love.
First song I ever sang for karaoke. I got up on stage and the host told me that the lyrics pretty much start right away and I was like yeah, I know. The music came on and I began singing into the mic. I was nervous as hell, but there was a guy singing coming through the speaker and I said to myself, "hey, that guy sounds like he knows what he's doing. I'm going to sing along with him." Yes, I said that about my voice coming through the speaker. It sounded that different than what it sounds like to me. I have learned to listen to the voice coming out of the speaker and adjust my voice to sound how I want it. Love this song.
My first experience with this song was actually from the movie The Lost Boys from the 1980s. If you haven't seen it, It is so deliciously 1980s and I highly recommend it and it includes this song on the soundtrack, and it fits perfectly.
I gotta hear you guys do WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER and THE CHANGELING next! 🔥🔥🔥
Poll idea: these are all country-ish songs with a sense of humor:
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken
Charlie Daniels - Long Haired Country Boy
Rolling Stones - Factory Girl
Allman Brothers - Pony Boy
George Thorogood - It Wasn’t Me
Wait for a...Fac~tor~y...Girl!!
Woooo!
Rolling Stones - Far Away Eyes has a much more humorous feel than Factory Girl.
@@jtok3459 I am so pleased to be informed of this, I just ran 20 Red Lights in your honour!😉👍
🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
It was a accident by NRBQ
Definitely time for some Little Feat. I don't know why they are not in the swamp music poll
I like that you are now getting into discussing the lyrics. Me and my friends spent alot of time delving into the meaning of song lyrics during the 60's.
Wow, you are so lucky. You've got the opportunity to check out the whole Doors catalog for the first time. It's quite the experience and there's a ton of great music. Great job, thanks guys.
Echo and the Bunnymen covered this song for The Lost Boys soundtrack. Cool 80s alt band. You should react to their song Killing Moon...tasty stuff.
Love Echo love Mac... they still perform. Id be happy with a reaction to any (original) song of theirs. One of my favorite bands. Seen them a dozen times, at least (which is not a lot if you consider that it’s over 4 decades ...)
"The Killing Moon" is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. It was used to great effect near the beginning of the original theatrical cut of the cult film classic Donnie Darko.
This and The Cutter are my two favorite Echo and the Bunnymen songs!
Roadhouse Blues from Morrison Hotel for an up-beat change of pace.
"... streets are uneven... when you're down.". Makes you add "even" in your head. Nice word play and it so belongs there.
"When the Music's Over" from the same album which was also released in 1967.
Echo and the Bunnymen fo a great cover for the movie The Lost Boys.
Soul Kitchen is the most Doors sounding Doors song.
Named The Doors after Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception". Next check out Riders on the Storm.
They already did.
@@jimd7260 not on UA-cam
Once again gents, hats 🎩 off for the honesty of your reactions and the difference of opinions. You don’t always have to agree on everything, otherwise the channel would become boring to watch. Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing your musical journey with us. PS: us old dudes all went on this same journey in our youth, so it’s a real treat to relive it through you guys once again, I sincerely appreciate that you share it with all of us. 🙏🏻
Loving your reactions, I'm hooked. Of course I love the Doors, so good to hear you react to them. I will have to check out your album review.
I think The Doors are underrated as musicians. Everyone focuses in Jim Morrisons lyrics and miss how good the rest of the band is.
Mr. Mojo Risin' (anagram for Jim Morrison)..aka "the lizard king". Check out "The End".
The Doors are one of the Top Five American Rock Bands of all time.
The doors were one of the first goth Rock Bands along with the smiths and joy division (who became New Order after the singer died)
One hour before this even goes public, there are already at least two thumbs down?
Some things here are just crazy.
@@DrumAndDrumber Yeah I know, I just find it kind of stupid/sad. One does not need to like everything (hey I'm not even a fan of the Doors), but that is just meaningless and destructive...
@@DrumAndDrumber not at all. I was agreeing, making it somehow sound as if I was disagreeing 😆
You are right in giving this not too much attention, I guess.
@@DrumAndDrumber same to you 😎
well, thats because - -uh - people are strange:)
Try Meatloaf,
Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Loved "Strange Days"! Used to trip to it back in the days. When you're Strange is definitely a different song..Thanks for sharing.
yaaaaay !! Love this song !!! You guys are awesome
These polls are strange
Out of all the Doors songs..... YUK!!!!
"Light my Fire" is the Original first time reaction song for The Doors. It worked for the Kids back in 1967 it should still work for you Boy's today.
this is a perfect song...when the Doors kept it tight and spare, they were perfect. they could lapse into self indulgence, esp Morrison, and lose the thread. but here, the eerie lyrics, the circus-keyboard, the guitar, that *voice*, it is perfect. and why the Door will always be timeless.
Iconic lead singer but accomplished musicians deliver all the doors tunes
You guys have the soul of poets. keep 'em coming!
When we were teenagers we used to say that the Doors opened the doors to our ears. Awesome reaction guys!!! Wish you had been there to experience it like we did!!
I see that Selling England By the Pound in the background 🔥🔥🔥
Saw the doors live back awhile! It was AMAZING! They were so unique! I love their music. There was definitely a lot of variety back then. Have you guys ever done Iron Butterfly? In a gadda da vida? The long version..... Or the James Gang "Lost Woman?" They are incredible songs!
The story I remember about this song is that is was composed while on a walk around Laurel Canyon in L.A. Ever since hearing this story, I always hear a walking beat when I listen.
Poll: Songs with the word Sweet in the title> Sweet Jane (Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal version), Sweet Home Alabama, Sweet Caroline, Sweet Thing.
The cover of "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies is the definitive version of the song.
I love the piano on this song so much. Maybe my favorite, that saloon piano sound.
