THIS was the essence of The Doors: dark, foreboding, and mysterious, not merely a song, but a morbid poem from the mind of The American Poet, Jim Morrison. Undeniably a classic.
I must quote you - great line: "THIS was the essence of The Doors: dark, foreboding, and mysterious, not merely a song,..."
You guys should find Jim's book of poetry, The Lords and the New Creatures.
Indeed!!
Touche, couldn't of said it better!
@@Scott-hq3jq I've idolized Jim Morrison my entire life, his poetry and what he stood for.
The Doors lacked a bass guitarist (except during recording sessions), so for live performances Ray Manzarek played the bass parts on a Fender Rhodes piano keyboard bass. His signature sound was that of the Vox Continental combo organ, an instrument used by many other psychedelic rock bands of the era. During the recording of this song, the bass part was done by Jeffy Scheff, who was Elvis Presley's bass player at the time.
Best comment🙏
I thought Ray Manzarek played a Moog.
I compliment your knowledge on this and Ray and the Doors - Respect!
Ray had a great solo album called "The Whole Thing Started With Rock And Roll and Now Its Out Of Control".
Jerry Scheff
As a teenager back in 1972, I was behind the wheel of the family car heading west-southwest on U. S. Hwy 24 toward Colorado Springs with my folks at the beginning of a summer vacation trip. The front range of the Rocky Mountains were ahead and storm clouds were boiling up above the peaks. Bursts of static from not too distant lightning punctuated music playing on the AM radio. "Riders on the Storm" came over that radio. It was a perfect moment that I recall, half a century later. Great music can do that.
What a great description of an incredible moment!
nice wow
👊🏼👍🏻✌️✊️
The rocky mountain way is better than the way we have.

This was the last song The Doors recorded with Jim Morrison. He left to go to Paris soon after. The song was released in June 1971 & Jim died in Paris on July 3, 1971. The "killer on the road" he refers to was Billy Cook, a serial killer that killed a young family in the early 50's. The event disturbed Morrison so much, that he also wrote a screenplay inspired by it called "The Hitchhiker". The Doors consisted of four mega-talented musicians who each brought their own form of genius into every song they did. There are so many to choose from - "The Crystal Ship"(my fave Doors song), "Love Her Madly", "Light My Fire", "The End", "Spanish Caravan", "Break on Through", "LA Woman", "Moonlight Drive", “Five to One”, "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "When the Music's Over", “Waiting for the Sun” - just to name a few.
The live album with the celebration of the lizard is the best
cook is the spark, but the hitcher is also symbolic motif for embracing a bad option. the lone wolf on the road. part ghost & spirit.... imo, morrison meant this song to be a pastoral prayer to our culture. its stripped down blake symbolism w/ much density b/c of the connective thread it connects w/ the images... road is the present leading forward to future. the hitcher the option of darkness & sinking into madness. but also the option to veer from its force & bravely ride the open road, & the storm. find a good mate & build peace.... much like in forest gump key characters post nam. morrison laid the blueprint out in a time (1970) when the vessel (culture & himself) where in the sheer winds of the storm. american pastoral. may have been their best work, top to bottom. quite the coda for morrison.
They're the best classic rock band, hands down
Yeah, Moonlight Drive! Such a compelling slide guitar solo
"Motel money murder madness,
Let's change the mood from glad to sadness" can you name the song this line is from? I'd definitely make this my next listen if they haven't already done so
Amber's right to note the jazz influence on this tune, just as "Roadhouse Blues" was blues-influenced. The Doors loved fusing elements of other styles with their music. You can hear bossa nova in "Light My Fire," more jazz in "People are Strange," and the song "LA Woman" has a rollicking barrel-house piano solo (courtesy of Ray Manzarek, the name you're looking for).
Not many bands doing something like "Alabama Song"...
Jazzy but the base line is a standard boogie Wookiee left hand but not synchropated.
And flamenco on "Spanish Caravan"
This was the last song on the album that was actually the last album Jim Morrison made with the doors of course back in the day it was released on vinyl so they did a thing just like they did on Sergeant Pepper's there was an inner Groove so if your needle didn't pick up and it just kept playing on that inner Groove all you heard was the storm you'd hear the rain falling and it would just keep going and going and going I think that's pretty symbolic of this music since it goes on forever if you notice when you're listening to the lyrics the overdubbed it Jim Morrison is whispering in the background the same lyrics along with the singing another little interesting fact they moved into a some apartment building and that's where they recorded it was like upstairs somewhere on like Hollywood Boulevard anyhow they brought a bass player into the group they didn't have a bass player before Ray manzarek just played the bass on his keyboards before so this last album was the actually the first time that they had a bass player yeah this song is very mystical and really has the power to it it's just unexplainable I remember one time I was in a car with my sister-in-law and I fell asleep listening to this song and it seemed like it went on for so long because you know when you're in a dream state time can be distorted and seem like a super long so it was almost like an hour it seems like and the funny thing is it was raining at the time we were driving and listening to Jim do is Magic of course I don't forget John Densmore and Robby Krieger and Ray manzarek okay kids
@@bryanhale5254 There's this wonderful thing called punctuation. Maybe you've heard of it? Might make your missive a little easier to read. I did read it all the way through. You juxtaposed thoughts that really didn't flow together well, and a comma or a period every now and again may make it clear that they are separate thoughts. I understand that sometimes when the words are flowing you don't want to take a break to put a dot after you finish a thought. Stream-of-consciousness and all that. It is still helpful to your readers to be able to break down what you're saying. Nice exposition and good observations! Also, you elucidated a few things I didn't know. Thank you for that!
"LA Woman" should be your next Doors song. Great banger.
Ray Manzarek was a beast of a keyboard player!! There is a clip of him on UA-cam where he talks about how they recoded this song that is fascinating. Jim’s voice is mesmerizing.
He was a classically trained pianist. Quality is #1.
I saw the UA-cam video with Ray , absolutely fascinating, such a talented musician
Besides the legend himself on vocals, the Doors consisted of Robby Krieger on guitar, Ray Manzarek on keys, and John Densmore on drums. Four musicians from entirely different styles and disciplines coming together to become one of the most iconic blues rock/psychedelic groups of all time. The Doors used session bassists on recordings (others are more equipped to tell you who), but Manzarek would play the bass parts on a separate set of keys during live performances.
Quite simply the greatest electric piano solo in rock and roll history .... if somebody wants to argue against that they're welcome to do so
Didn't Ray Manzarek play some bass keyboard parts with foot pedals?
@@kellypedersen6590 Yes - I think - like John Paul Jones in Since I've Been Loving You or No Quarter.
After Jim died, the remaining members made two additional albums in the 70's as The Doors, which were also very good but which were ignored by the Radio because they were Jim-less. "Other Voices" and "Full Circle".
@@resurrectionwaiting9294 I love other voices 💖👍
The keyboard is genius in that song. Notice how he imitates the rain.
I think there is a vid of Ray describing how this came to be, and why I call Ray (as you here) a genius and 'The Mad Scientist'.
@@Scott-hq3jq here’s the video of Ray discussing the making of Riders
ua-cam.com/video/3deQXzV-qTk/v-deo.html
A little secret about this track: The way they get the song to sound so stormy and mysterious, if you listen closely to the vocals, you'll hear Morrison doubling the vocal line by whispering!
Wow I've heard this song a million times and never noticed it until you mentioned it.
Haha, posted the exact same thing at pretty much the exact same time. GMTA! :-)
never noticed. thank you
Can't not hear that whispering now 🤣
Never knew that until now and I've heard it a million times. Thanks for the information 👍🏻
🤩
Interesting fact to this song. If you listen to Jim's vocals closely you will notice that it's overdubbed with an additional whisper layered on top. These additional whispering vocals were the last vocals Jim ever would record in a studio. Kind of eerie.
As for other great Doors songs to react to -The Crystal Ship, Waiting for the Sun, Love her Madly, The End, Summer's almost gone, yes the river knows
Good suggestions.
Such an atmospheric track - never tire of listening to this one. Ray's keyboard work is just perfection 🎼😍👍
Fender Rhodes
NO HUMAN BEING LOOKED AS GOOD AS JIM DID IN AVIATOR SUNGLASSES. THAT MAN WAS SO DAMN HOT !
Something for y'all to listen for the next time you play this song: one of the things that makes Morrison's vocals unique in this song is that he's also whispering every line underneath his singing. You can pick it out once you know it's there, but otherwise, it's so subtle, you normally wouldn't notice.
I really had to focus hard with my headphones on but I did catch Morrison's whispering.
Ray Manzarek used a Fender Rhodes electric piano to create the effect of rain. There are sound effects of thunder, and the faint voice of Jim Morrison whispering, "riders on the storm." .
I love this song! To me it’s basically life. The riders are us and the storm is life. The dog without a bone to me means we come into this world with an empty slate. The part about killer on the road I feel is death that we all must face on the road of life. The girl love your man part means to me about helping each mothers and fathers teaching their children teachers teaching life teaching. Also learning about your place and importance in life. Love you guys and your reactions big hugs to the whole robsquad family! 🌈🥰
"Killer on the road" also is a reference to a part Morrison was supposed to play in a then-upcoming movie. He was to be a traveling serial killer who hitches rides to find his next victims. The movie was never made since Morrison's OD death precluded him from ever starring in it.
That's exactly how I interpret it 👍
That`s good I always thought it was about a serial killer
Interesting. I always thought it was about a large group of families sticking together on a trek to get from somewhere to somewhere else,or just living a nomadic existence together while trying to keep their families safe and stay together in the face of challenges and adversities,not least a predatory serial killer stalking the roads.
The bass player on this is Jerry Scheff, who was Elvis Presley's bassist. The Doors did not normally have a bass player but they recorded this as live and used one.
His son Jason was the singer for Chicago for over 30 years.
They didn't have a bass player on live shows, but they generally did On the records.
Great song to relax to. Jay's going to be listening to this with his cigar and whiskey. lol
Break On Through (to the Other Side), Light My Fire, LA Woman, or Love Her Madly for more Doors.
I have a childhood trauma story related to this song, For those who don’t live in the South like I do in Alabama,we have very long goodbyes. After the visit is over it takes at least 10 minutes to stand up and go to the door much less to the car. The 15 or 20 minutes more of conversation and good byes in the drive way! So picture a child grade school age, waiting in the car getting more and more nervous the darker it gets. Why ? Because There’s a Killer on the Road!! Hello!
One of the best things about Morrison and The Doors is their appreciation of space in their songs. When you have heard their songs and know them, you constantly find yourself willing Jim to sing the next lyric. Its almost as if they intend for you to become impatient with his delivery.
Love the Doors and this song. Do some more Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon is one of my favs.
Ride My See Saw.
I'm so glad I got to grow up with this music. The Moody Blues at Red Rocks (it's here on UA-cam) is great
Commenters will say that the bass is played on keyboards, which is true for live performances, but on this record, the bass is played on bass guitar by session player Jerry Scheff.
My wifes cousin was a quadriplegic and had a great stereo system. He always had us balance his speakers with the beginning of this song. The lightning and intro are so well separated it makes the balance easy.
I always test the quality of speaker sound by using a pipe organ version of "Toccata and Fugue" by Bach. If it can handle that clearly and without muddiness or buzzing (particularly that final D minor chord!), then I know it's a good speaker system.
The bassist on this particular album was Jerry Scheff, not a regular member of the band. The Doors were an unusual band in that they didn't have a regular bass player, instead Ray Manzarek would play what is known as keyboard bass. By the way, if you want to hear what a great keyboard player Manzarek was(as if this song didn't convince you), check out Light My Fire and Strange Days. Oh, and When the Music's Over.
Yeah, keyboardist Ray Manzarek's keyboard work in this is nice. Early Echo and the Bunnymen from the end of the seventies and the early eighties was very influenced by the Doors, and their song "Over the Wall" from 1981, sometimes heard on indy radio back then, always reminded me of this Doors song.
Echo and the Bunnymen even did a cover of "People Are Strange" produced by Manzarek.
@@fnjesusfreak I was going to mention this. It was included on The Lost Boys soundtrack.
You can easily date so much of the music at this time by the use of electric pianos. Late 60s thru mid- 70s. Rock. Jazz. Pop. It was such a novel sound !
My favorite song by The Doors! They have plenty of other great tunes which I'm sure will be suggested a plenty by others 😁
The bass player here is the legendary hired gun Jerry Scheff. He came up with this bass part after hearing Ray Manzarek play him the basic tune for the song on his piano. He plays on pretty much every song on this album.
Jerry was a big part of Elvis's TCB (Taking Care of Business) band for about 8 years until Elvis died. He had started out as a session musician. Name a crooner and Jerry played behind him at one time or another.
At age 81, he's still playing bass.
Yay more Doors! --- Do one of my favorites next please -- When The Musics Over or Waiting For The Sun ---- So many good ones yet to choose -- they had a short career but added so much to Rock history
Oh man. Great tune. I really like "WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat)"
One of the things I learned about this song, is Jim Morrison recorded a backing track. And if you listen REAL CLOSE you can hear it. He whispered the lyrics in sync with the main vocal track.
Have you ever heard the Queens of the Stone Age song _God is in the radio_ ?
Listen to it if you like the WASP
The Doors were among the most controversial & influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly due to Jim Morrison's lyrics & voice. "Riders On The Storm" is my favorite song by them but they had a lot of hits including "The End", "Roadhouse Blues", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "Love Me Two Times", "L.A. Woman", "Hello, I Love You", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Love Her Madly". Sadly Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of only 27 but left a great legacy of music.
All good songs🙋🏻♀️
Casey Kasem told a story about the opening of this song. He said the while in the studio, The Doors hung one of those old table top type cassette recorders out the window during a thunderstorm to get the audio of the storm. A cheap and easy audio trick that wound up the beginning of an iconic song.
The thunder and rain was recorded in London. It wasn't while they were in the studio. You'd wait years for that kind of stormy sounds in LA!.
@@e-curb having lived in L.A., i can't argue t he logic. I only told it like I remember being told.
@@e-curb Also, the audio quality was too good. Some kind of reel-to-reel and a good pair of mics would have been needed.
@@keithbrown7685 That's right! Myth busted.
This song entered the Billboard 100 in July of 1971 the same week Morrison died. Oliver Stone’s film THE DOORS is a must. Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison.
Don't watch it with kids around.
I was born that summer
It's amazing how they picked the right actor to play Jim....Val Kilmer did a great job portraying
I didn't get to finish.....great job portraying the essence of Jim Morrison
Good film
My wife and I enjoy your reviews and fresh new takes on these classic songs. Keep rocking and congratulations on your channel.
"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. When you're ready for more from The Doors, check out "Light My Fire" (the full album cut), "Break On Through (To the Other Side)", "Love Street", "L.A. Woman", "Love Her Madly", "Soul Kitchen", "Strange Days", "Five to One", "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind", and "Peace Frog" along with so many other greats.
In my opinion it is about Sartre and not about Heidegger
@@yorkcruise1899 “Geworfenheit”! [grin]
They are a genre all their own and will be listened to forever. More Doors Please, there are many to react to. Enjoy! 🎵
Vic - The Doors truly were a genre all their own.
This and "Light my Fire" are my favourite tracks by The Doors. Please do that one next. Much love from England 🏴
The doors love long musical interludes mid song. The whole band get to shine, never just Jim and his incredible presence
Got to love the way the ripple down the piano to give a rain effect
The Doors keyboard player was an absolute GENIUS.... Ray Manzarek! Fantastic reaction, TY.
"Light My Fire" and "Touch Me" are your next two Doors songs.
Light my fire 🔥 🔥 Best song !!!
Okay so I paused the video at one minute in, and I did not look at any other comments because I want to say before I even start watching that I am positive that Amber is simply going to LOVE this song!!!
Still one of my fave Doors songs, so moody and evocative of danger and dark stormy nights infused with that smooth jazzy vibe.
I've visited Jim's grave in Paris where he died. He's buried in Père Lachaise. Lots of famouse people,actors ,writers etc are buried here and it's a great place to visit. Oscar Wild the Irish playwright is also buried here as well as the French singer Édith Piaf. And the Doors didn't have a base player. They used sesion bass players like Recking Crew bassist and pianist Larry Knechtel who was part of a group of people who played on many famouse songs in the 60's and Country singer Glenn Campbel was also in the Recking Crew as a guitar player at one time. Also a few other sesion bass players played with the Doors as well. But live Ray Manzarek their keyboard player played a keyboard with two sets of keys and with one hand he did the keyboard part and with the other hand played the bass parts. Love this song as it's just so good.
Brilliant. I love Paris and the Doors. Typical Englishman, don't ask direction's I'll find it. Never did. I saw many war graves and amazing places. One day I might find Jim's grave but the beauty of travelling map free is you find so much more. I think would have appreciated that. Just another rider on the storm. 🤠❤️🙏
They used Elvis's bass player for this track and accompanying album LA Woman. I am a huge fan of both Elvis and the Doors , I just love that almost unlikely connection, but as they say "the truth is stranger than fiction" or something along those lines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Scheff Thanks for reenergizing the old vibes :)
This music just makes you float close your eyes and enjoy the ride😊
He was a legendary artist who wrote most of their music. I was heartbroken when he died. so young..
My friend has been a headstart/kindergarten teacher for nearly 30 years and one year for music appreciation week he had his kids sing this song (he changed some of the words and cleaned it up a bit). It still makes me laugh when I think of a bunch of four-year-olds singing Riders on the Storm.
This came out in 71 after the Manson murder madness and you can definitely tell it inspired Morrison's writing. In this song with "killer on the road, if you give this man a ride sweet family will die" and in LA Woman when he said "motel money murder madness, change the mood from glad to sadness." Jay Sebring (one of the Manson family victims) was Jim's hair stylist and it is rumored that Jim even met and maybe even hung out with Manson. I read somewhere that Jim came and picked Manson up at Spahn Ranch.
Dennis Wilson (The Beach Boys) was also apparently mixed up with the Manson family somewhere along the road. Just leaves you shaking your head.
@@richarddexter7641 yes he picked up Patricia Krenwinkle and another Manson girl (can't remember which one) while they were hitch hiking and took them back to his house and he let them stay there while he went to record and when he got back Manson and the whole family was there. Him, Manson and the girls hit it off and they stayed there for a few months until he had enough of them leaching off of him and he moved and quit paying the bills and eventually Manson and the family got booted out and then they stumbled upon the Spahn Ranch.
I read several books about the Manson Cult, they befriended Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys, he was too generous, they kind of trashed his house. Also crossed paths with Terry Melcher, the son of Doris Day, and in the late sixties a wunderkind producer of rock and pop. He listened to Manson's music, but did not think that much of it. Terry lived in the house with Candice Bergen before Sharon Tate, and some speculated that the Manson cult were looking for Melcher, but he knew he had moved out. However, in any of the books I read did I read that Manson and Jim Morrison crossed paths. I read a biography of Manson, and the books Helter Skelter by the prosecuter, Vincent Buogliosi and anothe book by a former cult member.
When the Doors came out in the 60s. We loved their music.
The Doors one of my first 3 albums, Light My Fire was first hit, Roadhouse Blues was another favorite 🤩 I could comment about most songs you react to I grew up in Cali. Was a teenager in 67 and got to hear Jimi, Janis, Doors, Cream, and to many others to list live. My comments are from living it 💥Keep Rockin Best Wishes ✌️
My favorite Doors tune! Such a vibe. Now you need to listen to "Gloria"!
love love love this song and the doors! "THE CRYSTAL SHIP" OR "WHEN THE MUSICS OVER" for reaction please. ; )
Damn right for both those tunes! Peace Frog is one of many other good ones
Yep! Crystal ship.
Both these songs are hair raisingly gorgeous and 'When the Musics Over' is EPIC. They have several 'Epic' songs.
This song will always remind me of a family road trip in the early 70s. The rain was pouring and this song came on the car radio. Perfect soundtrack.
One of my favorite groups and one of my favorites of their songs!
They sometimes used bass players in the studio but the keyboard player, Ray Manzarek, used a little bass keyboard that sat on top of his main keyboard, and used it to play bass. I saw them play this live and Ray played that cool bass line with his left hand and all the rest with his right. My friends and I used to play music trivia all the time and my default killer question was "who was the Doors bass player?" Got 'em every time. Love you guys! 😁✌💛
This is a song you listen to in the dark, with the lights turned off, and let your mind get into the music. The jazz musicianship in this rock group, was amazing. The long instrumentals, and the beat, is hypnotic.
From what I understand, this was the last song that Jim Morrison did in the studio, and then went to Paris, where he died.
Especially when he says "There's a killer on the road, His brain was squirming like a toad" Jim Morrison is a deep person and his delivery of the vocals even though it freaks me out lol
Ray Manzarek the master keyboard player! This is one of those songs you put away and take it out 100 years later and say wow that must have been a great time for music!
I take it out every day.........
My friends and I considered Jim Morrison a musical genius. The piano trickle down sounds like the water from the storm running off a rock.
"Twentieth Century Fox" and "Soul Kitchen" you need to react to 👌
The Doors were a very eccentric group. Of all their great songs, this has always been my favorite because it’s so far off course from what they had done. In fact, when they presented this to their record company on the album L.A. Woman, the record company said it would never sell!! Shows you how much they know
Probably in my top 5 favourite bands of all time, there is just something magical about the doors, their music, the writing of Jim Morrison, the whole package is truly mesmerizing. I hope the next time you come back to them you listen to The End.....Jim's epitaph.....
Peace and love to all
😎🙏❤🇨🇦
When you're driving on a road trip, and there's a thunderstorm, this song hits different.
Love this track, it's such an atmospheric song, with Jim's whispered overdub in the verses. Both Ray on keys and Robby on guitar evoke watery sounds beautifully. Those tinkling, cascading run downs are genius, and the coda when Ray and Bobby trade little riffs, is like the rainfalls last trickles as the storm subsides.
The Doors are one of a kind.
Tomorrow please Christine McVie " Everywhere, Over my Head, Say you Love Me, You make Loving Fun " !!!!
Christine is my favorite Fleetwood Mac vocalist. They are really missing out on her piano/keyboard work aren't they?
@@ChrisW-17 I have been begging for Christine McVie songs.Love Stevie but she is not the only singer!
I'm glad you are listening... I have always loved The Doors. I am 50 years old.
Jim Morrison-vocals
Ray Manzarek-keys
John Densemore-drums
Robby Kreiger- guitars
One of the best bands ever...R.I.P. Jim and Ray
Jay/Amber, their "LA Woman", "Break On Through" and "Light My Fire" are next for you!!
LA Woman for sure!!! One of their best!!!
Yes LA Woman!
Love this spooky song. It was playing on my car radio the day I was driving through L.A. right after the Northridge earthquake and it was SURREAL. By the way, they got the idea for this song from a much older song called Ghost Riders in the Sky. Find it and listen and you’ll see the resemblance. Hugggggs to you two!
The music follows the sound of the rain.....the storm..... feel it.
Ray Manzarak. And this song is Jazz according to him, and he came up with the music as a takeoff from Ghost Riders in the Sky. He and the guitar player were just playing around with the song, and Ray had a spark, then Jim came in and said he had words for it.
The keyboard waterfall effect is marvelous. The Doors are one of the GREATEST. Glad I grew up in th sixties and seventies. BEST MUSIC EVER!!!!
I'm old.I remember when the Doors 1st came out. I've always loved the dark music they put out. Later Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains put out that dark sound
If they reacted to War Pigs, that would be epic!!!
The DOORS!! legit '60's music. This is top 10 coolest songs in the history of the universe.
I love the piano too! Jim Morrison was truly in a league of his own, with that rich voice, drop dead band, so handsome, and always so interesting to watch him perform. My album of their greatest hits is totally played out!! Love the Doors!
♥️The old white woman
Robbie, Ray and John were so good as Jims' band. The groove was endless.
One of the all time classics. Iconic. Part of it refers to a real life crime.
You guys HAVE to listen to Light My Fire - the longer album version. It’s pure heaven.
Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for the Doors, also provided keyboards for the 2 best-known Doors parodies/homages: "Doors sing 'Reading Rainbow' on Tonite Show/Jimmy Fallon," and "Craigslist" from Wierd Al Yankovic. A consummate musician!
When I was in high school I first heard this song and it changed my life. It opened up to a whole new world of music like this channel is doing for you. The Doors lead to Zeppelin and then to U2, all the way down the rock line. I still can zone out to this song as if I was 17 again.
I think my two favorite songs from The Doors are Light My Fire and Hello, I Love You.
_Comin atcha_
The Doors are so amazing!! For a kooky song of theirs check out "The Mosquito" 🦟 Strange Days is my Doors favorite album. 🎶🥰
Love The Mosquito! Vocals by Robbie Krieger on that one.
Strange Days is my second favorite Doors album after Morrison Hotel. The debut album comes in third.
Yes. Very kooky.
Morrison's poetry was put to music by the remaining members after he passed. The album is called "An American Prayer" and will blow your mind. It is definitely NOT child-friendly, so caution is where and when you listen. Peace and Love.
This was the last song he recorded before moving to Paris. Notice all the lyrics have a whisper track.
Nobody will ever be like the Doors! Top 3 band in history in my opinion and I still rock that shit daily!
Check out the Doors- touch me
I grew up in Southern CA and attended a high school that had an accelerated learning program, which I qualified to participate in and that meant I did not have to attend any classes except to turn up on test days and as long as I passed the test with an acceptable grade, I was fine. I drove my brother and sister to school with me and so I usually attended my morning classes but after lunch, myself and several other friends sat out on the grass with the radio blaring The Doors. Jay likes to talk about a vibe and that was exactly the word to characterize my afternoons listening to Jim Morrison. I had to hang around to take my sister and brother home but if not I would have been out of there and to the beach. I don't regret a minute of my time listening to all the wonderful music playing on the radio. I was in high school from 1968 until 1972. Yes, my 50 year reunion is coming up and I haven't lived in S. CA for 40 of those years. I am looking forward to going back and seeing if any of my afternoon music listening friends, are still around!
Love this Doors song, I always wanted to see Jim Morrison & the band live but never did, Jim left this earth way to soon 🥲😻☮️🇨🇦💜
Awesome song, one of The Doors best... and do yourself a favor and check out "Sweet City Woman" by The Stampeders ... Jay, you'll really enjoy this one, trust me !! 👍 Love you guys, love your videos !! 😀🤗
“Sweet City Woman” is the only rock song which mentions macaroons.
I love that song!! The essence of the 70’s ♥️
Thanks for another terrific reaction, guys! This song was released as a single in late June 1971. I first heard it on a Tulsa AM radio station about 6:30 a.m. on July 3 listening on headphones so not to wake the rest of the house. As soon as the song finished, the DJ announced that Jim Morrison had been found dead in Paris that morning. Heavy moment that comes to mind every time I hear this great tune. Love the song, but not the memory. By the way the distinctive bass on this was played by Jerry Scheff who was brought in for the album L.A. Woman.
This is the very best song to listen to at 2:00 in the morning when you're making a long drive home alone. Peace!
This is my favourite Doors song. I remember being in the 6th Form Common Room at the High School I attended here in England when we found an old record player in a cupboard with a stack of old records - we played The Doors a lot.
This is the last song they recorded as a group before Jim's passing. They were barely speaking to each other, and they barely got through it. It is actually my favorite Doors song.
Mine too.
“Light My Fire” is what you guys should check out next. You’ll love everything about it. Though “Riders…” is my all time favourite.
My history professor at Cal described California of the 1960s with three bands: the chill hippie/country vibe of the Grateful Dead, the suburban beach fantasy of the Beach Boys, and the existential dread of the Doors. The Doors were the Manson Family, Zodiac, Jim Jones, the SLA, needle houses and dirty Hollywood bungalows. Still creeps me out when I think about it in those terms.
they could certainly explore those caverns. this albums song, lamerica is a perfect ex.... yet, I think its too confining to frame them solely in that. the doors could also explore bless & beauty, even in pure form.... this songs melds both wh/ is what makes it so transcendent. couldnt have asked for a better exit song.
The bass was played by Ray Manzared too, he used his left hand to play the bass sounds on keyboard, while he played the piano magic with his right hand, absolutely magic
So funny today I caught your reaction to Roadhouse Blues which I believe was your first Doors reaction.
You've come along way from asking us to let you know who the lead singer is.
Wore this out on 8 track in the car.
Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada. ❤❤ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I'll never get sick of this amazing song
Welcome aboard,youngsters! This is one of my favorite songs, by The Doors. I'll never forget , a torrential rainy day, back in 1977, when my brother and a couple of friends and I, were standing underneath a covering between the entrance to our house and garage, while at the same time, blasting the stereo as Riders On The Storm was being played on our favorite radio station (KMET).
Early seventies, sitting in a parking lot at night in my '69 Barracuda in Connecticut with a light rain on the windshield waiting for my buddy who went into the store. This song always takes me back to my Navy days. Also, one of the best cruising songs, especially in the rain!
