how can Densmore compare Jim to other names he mentioned / the others not having the road of light / the archangel gabriel wanted to get off planet earth fast / Jim knew very well who he was in his subconscious
I always like to imagine the poetry we would've read from Jim had he not died so soon in Paris . We were blessed to be left with his beautiful music but never got to really see what he truly wanted us to.
The Buddhists believe that the great people who die young are ascendant masters, who's brief but shining lives remind us that life is fleeting. Maybe that's true.
Buddhists also believe you must extinguish all desire to reach Nirvana. But if you desire to reach Nirvana, it's still a desire. Their belief system is a lot of nonsensical ideas.
@@MAllen-ng8pl the purpose of desire is to desire NOT to desire. as long as a man seeks enlightenment and grasps after it, it means that delusion is still with him.
I think out of all The Doors, Densmore was always truthful about how he felt about Morrison's drinking , drugs etc, he could not stand it or bare to be in the same room as him. However , out of all of them, he has been the most respectful of Morrison's legacy refusing millions of dollars because he knew Morrison would have done the same.
Jim told us what he'd be doing today: "If I had to do it all over, I think I would have gone for the quiet, undemonstrative artist, plodding away in his own garden trip." And that's what he's doing today.
He was the oldest sibling and frequently picked on his younger brother. His father was an esteemed Admiral but couldn't get his son to walk the line. On the surface, it makes no sense. Really adds to the mystique of his character, doesn't it?

Happy Birthday John Densmore. Your awesome legend man. My father listen, The Doors hundred million times. He loves the Doors. Me too. I listen to The Doors on my Xbox 360 and my phone. I'll stop listening to the Doors Robby. Never. Love The Doors. When my old man listen to The Doors, he said I look like Jim Morrison. May the Peace be with u John Densmore. From Harlingen Texas. December 1, 1944 December 1, 2022 through December 1, 3022
I feel like Densmore was the one most affected by Morrison’s death. I can hear the sadness in his voice when he talks about him. He’s not a total down in the dumps guy about it, but it’s very subtle.
John wasn’t the closest to Jim but John has stood by him many times. He also seems to be the one who speaks most candidly and honestly about him instead of spinning myths.
In the 80s and 90s raging to The Doors music, especially L.A. Woman on a “...Sunday Afternoon” in summer when “the hills are filled with fire” and “...the little angels are lost in the city of lights” I didn’t really get deep and meaningful about the lyrics or Jim’s self destruction and untimely death. And of course Pamelas in 1974. But having escaped cirrhosis and benefitted from gaining wisdom and a modicum of sense I realise how depressed, sad and tragic his life was despite his creative brilliance. Please look out for your mates!
I Jim Morrison was alive today he'd probably be doing the same self destructive things he did in the 60s, but man oh man it would be so exciting to catch a Jim Morrison spoken word poetry reading or music concert. Rest in peace.
Hail to Jim..Alcohol and acid always start out fun but by the grace of creator some of us know the drugs and alcohol STOP WORKING...nobody really understood addiction. .Jimmy K's message wasn't ready yet I'm sure he was inspired by Jims death....Jim gave his life so we could learn what the disease of addiction looks like....You see he really wasn't a fake hero....He was an inspiration and still is ...Thanks for your beautiful soul Jim....Hail to the brilliant Poet...
Morrison is my favorite singer and I love his poetry. there's a thing that's often overlooked about him though. He had asthma and he smoked cigarettes. So he neglected his health in other ways aside from his drinking. There's a theory that a mixture of asthma medication he took in France (medicine that was illegal in the US) mixed with alcohol is what caused his heart failure. I've read he was coughing really bad and even coughing up blood around that time in Paris. So hypothetically if he didn't go to France and did try to clean up his drinking and live to be old, he would have had to permanently stop smoking cigs 🚬
After the Miami incident, the judge could have made Jim attend AA, but that would have meant the legal folks were more interested in saving a genius from self-destruction than in promoting their own careers.
The "founding" members are the original members of the group. John and Robbie are unquestionably original members of the Doors. Do you picture the Doors sounding the same without them?
the best bet w/ morrison kicking booze if he had lived was boredom w/ the process itself. if you follow the trajectory of his career, he intensely went thru phases & then moved on. alcohol may have been the same deal, esp after he got more mature & in his 30's... the problem for jim when he died was his career & life was in a real vice being pressured from various directions. most directly, legally. booze was his escape from for what was for him, very intense growing pressure. the more you feel trapped, the easier it is to become self destructive. if he couldve settled his legal problems, made peace w/ the music industry & his role w/ the doors, then yes, it seems he couldve got much more grounded and ventured into writing & film & find more stability. problem was he didnt get out of the vice in paris.
I want to say something special, but it's impossible to say anything special about someone so special of whom everything has been said, except that of whom nothing more can be said, everything can still be said, although the only thing to say is, 'there's nothing more to be said ... except, ooooooh.'

In July 1971 , it was written on the left bank of the Seine River in Paris, France, 'Jim was a junkie ' 🖤 I saw it as I was in Paris that weekend stayed at hotel one block from Jim's apartment and was at the club Rock n Roll Circus where Jim died in women's bathroom , with a fresh wrap of China white heroin which was too potent compared to Mexican smack His death was in the club, they had to get rid of this famous American scoring drugs and snorting and dying in the club where he bought the tainted herion. 🖤 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 I was 21 years old , now I'm old 69 It was common knowledge in certain circles in Paris after July 3, 1971 .....they transported the body back to his apartment and put in the hot tub to disguise the time of death The ' 27 ' club 🖤 😵 😱 👽 😟 😶 😢 😭
Dude it was back in 67 they were still a young band. Funny how you say he knows nothing when he was in the band and live through it, pretty sure he knows. Btw he stopped the Cadillac deal in the 2000s
Nawfal Taouby but yet Densmore is the only one to honor his memory, a few years back the rest of them were talking about doing an extended tour with a different lead singer, Densmore vetoed it saying it was never about the money where Jim was concerned and he would not be a part of dishonoring Jim's legacy, the one too dislike him most is the one that respects Jim the most.
Him being white doesn't make him a novelty, more it shows that he broke the stereotype of the thought that only black people can rap, which obviously isnt the case. Honestly I dont ever listen to him, but i respect the fact that he went from almost homeless to being one of the biggest rappers out there today. His music has depth, it's not about "killing hoes" and being rich and what not. he was able to turn his pain into art and become incredibly successful from it, and thats admirable.
Hell...if Keith Richards could rehab three time and make it Jim might have had a chance. Vanity is a strong energy that keeps addicts coming back....Vanity operates outside of any reason so some how has to be gotten around.
It was Jim that said "in order to be a superstar you have to be a politician or serial killer..." He most likely did both gigs after retiring from his part as Jim Morrison. I'd say he ended up as a politician, but which one?
Jim had demons but sadly many demons look cute in a person but now his end is in the tormnts of hell while we can still enjoy his songs hes burning wishing he would have turned to JESUS
Pick it. That's a reason why you have fingers and finger nails...for more efficient cleaning. It's nothing but arbitrary societal oppression that people think you shouldn't. Do what you want as long as you cause no harm to anyone else.
derogatory remarks of Densmore are so stupid, listen to Densmore's beat when him and Jim relate back and forth in most of the songs.....are you people insane those two musically got along well. private life is another issue I wasn't around but I have two ears that can hear when they were playing
By all accounts, Morrison and Densmore were not close at all. Often you'll hear stories that Morrison didn't really care for Densmore one way or the other.. flash forward all these years and you'll find Densmore manipulating history for his own self gain. #sad ?
Wrong. John Densmore was the one that Jim liked the least, but respected the most. When Jim called from Paris to ask how L.A. Woman was doing on the charts,he didn't call Ray. He didn't call Robby. He called John Densmore. That speaks volumes.
If Jim Morrison was still alive today, he probably would have become a washed up, fat old man with a number of health problems. It’s sad Jim died very young, but it’s probably for the better that he isn’t alive today. Sometimes it’s better to be remembered while being in your prime.
Interesting so most artists suffer from demons and that is part of their creativity!!?? Having a girlfriend that was a heroin addict definitely lended itself self to his demise tho!!
nope It was Jim, then Ray, then rick, then jim manzarek, then densmore. they practiced and recorded, then the manzareks besides Ray left, then they got Robbie
every good rock n roll band gets parted at some time... the Rolling Stones are just not part of the plan. a miracle that Keith survived the 70th´s and 80th full of drugs and booze....
I get selling the book. I saw him in an interview recently and he appeared very rusty on a drumset, plus I get the feeling that he wants to be remembered for his playing with the doors. If his work today was as good as the doors, I would have heard of it. You seem to know more about him than I do so thanks for trying to turn me on to what hes been up to. I might just check it out.
i hardly consider rap to be real music, so im not defending him or anything or saying he's "better" than morrison because i dont believe that, but eminem really is extremely talented. i mean shit he, being a white guy, is at the top of a music scene overpopulated with almost all minorities, mainly african americans. that's gotta say something right there. disregarding all your personal opinions, look at where he is for the part of music he's in, he's towering over everyone else in his genre
so what? ..... densmore was one of the best cuz he fought to not sell "light my fire" to advertisement , like jim wanted , ray instead wanted to sell it
Not to start an argument with you, but Jim was a poet. Don't you think the truly deep lyrics of someone like Eminem at least deserve that much? To be a poet? I know it's a bit modern and such but I would hope someone like you would keep an open mind regardless of the genre, day, and age you are still blessed to be living in?
Jim was was tortured by literal beings that hated him called demons. He would either have to seek the Lord's deliverance or use drugs to shut the demons up. And the drugs won.
John seems like a genuine guy but no genius, Jim Morrison was a genius along with Ray and Robby as far as Im concerned Johns just jealous because hes nowhere close to them psychologically and should mind his own business about Jims “alcoholism” and saying he’s crazy and etc which is ALL coming out of jealousy, similar to a Mike Love, Brian Wilson situation
Mr Densmore seems like such a nice person...I could listen to him all day...so calm and lovely
He's really down to earth
how can Densmore compare Jim to other names he mentioned / the others not having the road of light / the archangel gabriel wanted to get off planet earth fast / Jim knew very well who he was in his subconscious

I wish someone talked about childhood trauma with Morrison
I think that was the roots of his downfall
alcohol
Perhaps the roots of his creativity as well. Many of the greatest artists in history had some form of adversity in their upbringing.

Needed that Kleenex really bad nice interview though....
idn't know Jim Morrison "were" plural...
+ghostdog7575 "were" is subjunctive - i.e. correct English
+John Quick the mode is subjunctive, the person is singular (WAS)
+John Quick Also: www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/subjunctive-verbs?page=all
He were plural don't you see, transcending the mists and echoes of the space time continuum, cupping nipples and bottles with a smile
Just compared Jim Morrison with Eminem. Come on.
Dude, he said "angry creative guy like Jim" "guy like Jim" not in terms of his potential for recovery from substance abuse. I dont like Densmore.
I get selling the book. I saw him in an interview recently and he appeared very rusty on a drumset, plus I get the feeling that he wants to be remembered for his playing with the doors. If his work today was as good as the doors, I would have heard of it. You seem to know more about him than I do so thanks for trying to turn me on to what hes been up to. I might just check it out.
***** I thought i replied to this... Anyway, thanks for the response. :)
***** I will MOST definitely check out johns post-doors stuff :)
eminem fucking sucks lmao
i hardly consider rap to be real music, so im not defending him or anything or saying he's "better" than morrison because i dont believe that, but eminem really is extremely talented. i mean shit he, being a white guy, is at the top of a music scene overpopulated with almost all minorities, mainly african americans. that's gotta say something right there. disregarding all your personal opinions, look at where he is for the part of music he's in, he's towering over everyone else in his genre
I thought you were the angry guy in the movie John. Always mad about something.
John Densmore = not a founding member. Last member to join.
so what? ..... densmore was one of the best cuz he fought to not sell "light my fire" to advertisement
, like jim wanted , ray instead wanted to sell it
Kamikaze sou eu kkkk
Aw how he compared Eminem to Jim.
there was no stereotype you speak of at that time , and rap still isnt music
Not to start an argument with you, but Jim was a poet. Don't you think the truly deep lyrics of someone like Eminem at least deserve that much? To be a poet? I know it's a bit modern and such but I would hope someone like you would keep an open mind regardless of the genre, day, and age you are still blessed to be living in?
Jim was was tortured by literal beings that hated him called demons. He would either have to seek the Lord's deliverance or use drugs to shut the demons up. And the drugs won.
Caption says founding member, he's not
JIM MORRIS IS ALIVE BUT HES a home less man :(
nope
I think it was either rick or jim manzarek
what would be the point of a sober jim morrison....
You must know very little of Jim. That's okay though. Try again later.
hiraldo mcgoo If you have to ask, don't
hiraldo mcgoo SRV sounded better before AA as well. "Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned... Immaculate."
give me JIM MORRISON ANYTIME. all night long.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋👠👠👠
you got a stupid last name.
John seems like a genuine guy but no genius, Jim Morrison was a genius along with Ray and Robby as far as Im concerned Johns just jealous because hes nowhere close to them psychologically and should mind his own business about Jims “alcoholism” and saying he’s crazy and etc which is ALL coming out of jealousy, similar to a Mike Love, Brian Wilson situation
If he were alive today he'd be a woman
Please ppl hell is real but so is heaven turn to Jesus and make beautiful songs to praise HIM
You are old John... ="( so sad....
The most hated doors member.
what a gay man's dream that interviewer is ...... nice outfit ..... and style ..... NOT!
