Keep in mind, this was their 1st record, side 1, track 1. This was the world's introduction to the Doors. Hell of a way to make an entrance fellas! This was like kicking the door in on the music scene at the time. Nothing sounded like this. No one looked like this. No one made the ladies (and some gents Im sure) squirm like this. This was raw, visceral, powerful, and energetic.

@@SGED392 I've thought for years that Peace Frog would make an awesome rap number. I suggested it to a young rapper I was conversing with at a dispensary.
RIP Ray Manzerak, a musical prodigy. He played both the keyboards and the bass at the same time, with bass pedals under his keyboards. He and Morrison were made to be together.
Back when everyone in high school was listening to Madonna, Culture Club and Poison, I had The Doors, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Rush posters all over my wall. Thanks for checking them out.
I was born in '70. My mom and my older brother helped shape a lot of my musical tastes. Bro was 8 years older and introduced me to a lot of late 60s and 70s rock, from Boston and Nazareth to The Talking Heads. Mom liked a lot of 70s and 80s soft rock, AC and pop music. She also took me to many concerts. Everyone from the Bee Gees to Kenny Rogers and Olivia Newton-John all the way to Kenny G. When I was in Saudi for Gulf War 1 she sent me all kinds of music, from Anita Baker to the Black Crowes. So yeah, I listened to the hair bands and New Wave but I was the only kid I knew who knew all the words to "The Gambler" and "Turn the Page."
It's like you are experiencing the development of Heavy Metal, but backwards in time. When these songs came out, people freaked. So heavy and malevolent.
it's not just "keyboard", but specifically organ, which is a huge part of the Doors sound and the sound of the era. he plsyed other keyboard instruments too, notably electric piano (the sound that drives Riders On The Storm), but it's really the organ. if you like that general vibe and wanna find some more 60s stuff you might dig, try Love, The Zombies, The Animals, Steppenwolf, "?" And The Mysterians, Tommy James etc.
I only like this album version as it's the one I heard first and grew to love, as did most fans. Over the years alternative versions of songs have been released (all of which I have), with variations (e.g. an extended intro to L.A. Woman, and additional vocals/F bombs on The End), but I don't like any of them better than what's on the original albums. They chose the right ones to release at the time.
@@Alifesalife Because i learned this song with Jim saying She gets..without the "high". Never heard of this version until many years later. Nowdays when i hear "She gets High" i want to turn it off. 🙂
Aldous Huxley’s “The Doors of Perception”, which was about his experiences taking mescaline - he broke through his traditional perception of the world around him and entered a different kind of consciousness. That’s where the band got its name.
Almost nobody (consumers of radio, records, whichever format you name) heard the word "high" for decades. It was she get............she get..........she get..........wahooooooo for 40+ years. Probably the brightest accomplishment of the war on drugs. Way to go.
You must watch the Doors movie with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison. A cool thing with them is they don’t have a bass player Ray Manzarek plays the low end bass notes on his keyboard at the same time playing the keyboard section with his other hand. Even during the keyboard solo he maintains the bass line on the low end of the keyboard.
Yea that movie is awesome, im sick of people hating on the movie, Val was amazing as Jim and me and my friends were like 15 when that movie came out and we were already Doors fans but that movie brought in millions of new Doors fans. It showed the good side and the bad side of the rock lifestyle, but Jim was on another level 💯
The Doors have SO many great songs, any song from their greatest hits and they have lots of deep cuts that are great too. Hello, I love you, light my fire, peace frog, people are strange, love me two times, roadhouse blues, love her madly, The End, waiting for the sun, 5 to 1, moonlight drive, soul kitchen, the changeling and I could go on! Would love to see some more Doors in the future!
I'm old, but I got to hear these songs when they were new. What a time to be alive! I love your reactions. Pick just about any Doors song, you can't go wrong.
As a young person, still in my 20’s, I just got into The Doors this year. Already one of my favorite bands. I think “People are Strange” is my favorite song I’ve heard by them. On a side note, I think it’s cool that this is one of the only reaction channels I’ve seen that reacts to hip hop AND rock. Most channels do one or the other. It’s fine to have preferences but anyone who ONLY listens to one genre is missing out on a lot of great music. I mostly listen to hip hop, but I love bands like The Doors, Pink Floyd and Radiohead. That’s my type of Rock, so if anyone has recommendations for similar stuff I’m all ears.
You'd probably like the Rob Squad Reactions channel, then. They listen to everything, literally every type of music, although they started heavy on the 80s.
When i was still 14 in 2000s, i deffine The Doors as my favourite band. And i didn't hear it much yet. And, yeah, this song was fav in first, but later the end. Or maybe opsite..
Actually this is not the uncensored version. "High" was added later and most probably it was taken from another song... You may have heard it with the bad word in "Absolutely Live"
Haven’t heard the doors since I was a kid -didn’t realise how much Jim’s lower register sounds like Danzig 😂 not just the voice but the overall approach to the melody ..
All musicians in this band are classically trained and top notch. Riders on the Storm (which I haven’t watched your video yet) is my favorite song of all time. I am a musician and a metal head and that means a lot
It’s a shame he was such a drunkard- his talent was HUGE as a poet, lyricist , songwriter and vocalist. Pure masculinity. Women went insane for this very handsome dude.
It's only 3 month ago i watched apocalypse now redux for maybe the 25th time. It's unbelievable how this movie perfectly goes together with the song the end. Especially when you think about the fact that there are more then 10 years between the making of the song and the movie. The movie shows the madness of war so intense and trippy that i'm exhausted everytime i watched the movie. And i never watched it without rolling some big ones. It's the only war movie i have watched more than one time.
Ray Manzarek's circus fun house organ with Jim's dark lyrics and deep, gritty voice have always been such a wonderful dich0tomy to me. Innocent happiness layered with Iurking d@nger. It's like the musical version of "Alice in Wonderland" or Stephen King's "It". Then you add the musical brilliance of Robby Krieger and John Densmore and you get one of the most unique sounds ever produced in Rock and Roll.
The Doors are incredible. I hope u understand their place in the history of rock and roll, and enjoy them. If not I still will and have since I was a kid. Cheers! A top 5 band of all time imo!!! Top tier singer, keyboard player, and breakthrough writers of style and ingenuity. S+
You guys need to do their all-time signature classic "Light My Fire," which is basically like their "Stairway To Heaven" - EVERYONE knows that song. You guys should also do "Touch Me," "Twentieth Century Fox," "People Are Strange" AND "Strange Days," "Soul Kitchen," "Roadhouse Blues," their live cover version of Them's "Gloria," and their all-time #1 song in my opinion, the epic "When The Music's Over" which is in my all-time Top 50 songs ever.
the drums stop & go like a porche down a calif canyon road.... song has a compressed energy, that flexes & then goes back into coiled growl.... remember this is '66. few bands had this brimming energy & tightness. echoes to early punk also.
I’m never this early. I’m so hype y’all reacted to this!!

Do they do any "fresh" reactions anymore? Like they mentioned this is Apr. 25th for them, must have released this on Patreon earlier. I don't know if they do any "fresh" YT releases anymore
For years and years and years, all LP's, Tapes, and CD pressings edited out "High." All one heard was "She Get." The "High" started to show on CD and LP pressings only about 15 years ago. If not familiar, google the story about the Doors being asked by Ed Sullivan to change the word "Higher" when it was time to perform "Light My Fire" on his variety TV show.
Ok some boomer memories here. Free-form FM radio became a major influence to me musically and it happened right around the same time of my going from pre-teen to full teen mode. It's like the top 40 AM radio was my pre-16 yr old self but from there on I migrated to hearing whatever album cuts the DJs on NYC's WNEW-FM and other stations felt like playing. Just laying out the background story a little. So there I am barely 17 yrs old listening on my parent's stereo when DJ Dave Herman premiered The Doors, their first album. He actually just played the whole album back to back and Break on Through was the first song on side one and it blew me away. Ran right out to Scotti's Record Shop and bought it and played it to death.
This music is timeless it does matter what the year your living in it can compete You guys should just go through all there stuff They have so many different styles mixed together likes jazz ,rock , blues bossa nova Bossa Nova drum beat on this song I believe. Yeah his Baritone voice
The bossanova drum part at the beginning is a sped-up version of the Jazz classic "Girl from Ipanema". John Densmore (the drummer) admits it. Haha! I met Densmore at a book signing years ago...super nice guy!
That drummer just knew about every rhythm in the book..Bossa Nova, Tango, Foxtrot, etc..and like ya said, could mix it with rock on a dime drop..He influenced me to be more versatile and learn other styles of play. Morrison's lyrics on this are so catchy--because they ring so true to human nature.
The doors! It's been a minute had a flashback to watching apocalypse now after eating "an influence", great song, fantastic movie. ... acid rock was different
Hey my guys, it's time you all started to review this amazing return to old-school country/folk/bluegrass. PLEASE do Tyler Childress Nose on the Grindstone! 😊
I like a lot of The Doors songs. Jim has a nice voice and the band is so talented and wrote great music. I guess I'm a fan. Never thought about it. I like them. I like a ton of their songs. Waiting For the Sun, Break on Through, Touch Me, Five to One and Love Me Two Times. These 5 are tremendous. Of course the keyboard solo on Light My Fire is superior and the guitar solo is amazing.
The drummer John Densmore used what is called a bossa nova beat on this tune. Bossa Nova is a south american beat that is used with a regular stick and brush but to stiffen the beat for rick Densmore used 2 drum sticks
Funny that you say it sounds like it should be in a movie because both Jim Morrison And Ray Manzarek were in film school together. That's where they met.
In Jarhead maybe a remake of apocalypse now military helicopter is seen flying overhead, blasting the Doors song “Break On Through (To the Other Side)” from its speaker system.
Fun fact: While Jim was an enormous influence, _his_ major influence as a singer was none other than Frank Sinatra. Jim idolized Frank, and wrote "You're Lost, Little Girl" hoping that Frank would record it. P.S. Instead of deleting a song on the poll, better mark it as already done. That way, anyone who hasn't seen this video won't request it again.
I can always pop this song on and still be blown away. There’s a spirit to The Doors that will never die. They captured absolutely magic.
Keep in mind, this was their 1st record, side 1, track 1. This was the world's introduction to the Doors. Hell of a way to make an entrance fellas! This was like kicking the door in on the music scene at the time. Nothing sounded like this. No one looked like this. No one made the ladies (and some gents Im sure) squirm like this. This was raw, visceral, powerful, and energetic.

That bossanova rhythm John Densmore lays down on the drums is such a cool groove. ❤️
His use of Latin rhythms was one of the things that marked the Doors' sound as so different.
Classically trained keyboard player, jazz drummer, flamenco guitar player plus a poet = The Doors
Excellently described.
RIP Ray Manzerak, a musical prodigy. He played both the keyboards and the bass at the same time, with bass pedals under his keyboards. He and Morrison were made to be together.
He may have used peddle bass at some point, but he generally used a key bass small bass specific keyboard for playing bass.
Jim Morrison just 23 yrs old when he wrote these incredible lyrics. Unbelievable he only had 4 years left in his life. What could have been
If you like Ray's keys, it's time to do "Light My Fire".
The full version, not the radio version.
I second this!

As a doctor, physician, porn star, police man, astronaut, UFC fighter, therapist, comedian and serial killer, the song is pretty good.
The Doors definitely influenced many bands and genres. From punk to grunge. Jim Morrison was definitely a rare talent vocally, and with the pen.
*pen(is). Sorry I have juvenile humour
@@dimegobt hardy har har
Jim had a haunting voice- and it influenced artists like Glenn Danzig and Ian Astbury. Truly a rock legend. RIP
We all have wikipedia. Your info is useless.
I think he influenced a lot more than that. Basically dark barittone singers in rock music owe a lot to Morrison.
Ian Curtis, Joy Division.
Scott Weiland really captured it in STP's "Atlanta"

Light my fire is the first doors song anyone should listen to. The End is also great but possibly challenging for the reaction format

Doors were the first goth band. I can name a hundred dark/spooky singers that copy him.

Funny that you say it sounds like it should be in a movie because both Jim Morrison And Ray Manzarek were in film school together. That's where they met.
That beginning is just bossa nova :)
Hellll yeah gotta love the Doors
Eddie Vedder was a huge fan of them and one of his inspirations, he has done covers of the doors with Pearl jam live , you can look it up, its great
He has actually sung with (previously) surviving members of the Doors, I think they did 3 songs. This was one of them.
I forgot that I love this song until I saw this pop up! Thanks guys
YOU GUYS NEED to listen to Roadhouse Blues or Back Door Man, the really jazzy blues style would be right up your ally!
Not a huge 60's fan as far as music, loved 50's rock, 70's and 80's; but love the Doors and the Beach Boys.
I remember this in the Tony Hawks Underground video game! Banger
Big ups those who remember this tune from the intro to Tony Hawk's Underground 2
My favorite band in the world, even named my dog Morrison.
Light my fire is their ultimate tune in my opinion. They are great and have a unique sound, sophisticated, musical but moody and rebellious.
In Jarhead maybe a remake of apocalypse now military helicopter is seen flying overhead, blasting the Doors song “Break On Through (To the Other Side)” from its speaker system.
That opening drum line, also on Bossa per Due by Nicola Conte and/or that old instrumental by Quincy Jones?
Man...the Doors...I love em
I too love doors. You can close them, you can open them. Very helpful.

There is a Lounge-y vibe to The Doors. Sinatra was Jim Morrison's favorite singer so there you go.
Fun fact: While Jim was an enormous influence, _his_ major influence as a singer was none other than Frank Sinatra. Jim idolized Frank, and wrote "You're Lost, Little Girl" hoping that Frank would record it.
P.S. Instead of deleting a song on the poll, better mark it as already done. That way, anyone who hasn't seen this video won't request it again.
