@@Quintzal _blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers_ is a *heavy* lyric. The song is about Morrison and his struggle with who is is, was, wants to be and might become. Trippy tune. One of my favorities.
What makes this an interesting change from a lot of the 60's protest songs is that Morrison goes after the younger generation and takes them to task for their failures as well. "You walk across the room with your flowers in hair, trying to tell me no one understands. Trading your hours for a handful of dimes". He's referencing the hippie kids who came to San Francisco, but unable to sustain themselves, spent their days begging on the streets for spare change. He's telling them to get up off their asses and actually do something to make a change in the world.....
Bulls eye.... Jim was a beat w/ a strong libertarian streak, not a utopic hippie who expected everyone else to do the heavy lifting.... Lennon a couple of years later came to the same conclusion.
02:43 for the win. I always considered this song and "Not To Touch the Earth" as their true masterpieces; nothing quite like either song had ever been recorded, prior to this album.
also 2 of my favorites from them, although as for a reaction to not to touch the earth, id suggest the live version off of 'the doors in concert' along with the whole of celebration of the lizard since not to touch the earth is 1 part in the middle. would make for a great reaction.
I've read several books on the doors. Here's a fun story from one: The Doors mgmt hired a bodyguard for Jim to stop him from drinking. Well, Jim and the bodyguard ended up in a bar and both got wrecked =)
He was a USC football player. 6 6 260lbs. One of the first bodygaurds for stars. His job was no to keep fans away it was to babysit morrison. He couldnt last a month. Morrison just outdrank him till he quit. Same with Van Morrison when Them came to LA. They were 2 irish guys with the same sirname. He only lasted 2 weeks.
Yeah, definitely need reaction videos. I’m probably biased too, the classic rock station in my area plays the same songs over and over. (Station- non plural!! No rock on the radio! And I live close to NYC!)
Robbie's guitar work on this track is so underrated, often the case with Robbie's work, but those who know know how influential this style switching to swing in and out of the distortion with the other instruments, geniuses all.
Every generation seems to find The Doors & Jim Morrison. The fascination never ends. Many artists have maligned Jim and his poetry......yet they'll be long forgotten while Jim still beguiles. The Light & the Dark. Jim's voice captured it like no other. That dude was a crooner of the highest level. Pitch & note perfect and that primal scream too. Goddamn- the best. That is probably the first song Jim ever did drunk. Yet, the band get him over the line brilliantly. Okay, he ultimately blew it but boy did he make his mark in those 6 years. Only the greats can match it. And that's what Jim & his band were.
You nailed it.... peers took shots at him too in the industry b/c deep down they fear his talent and Eye.... Morrison was inconsistent, but that happens when you invest in swinging for th fences. He was the joe Namath of rock. Wounded but charisma thru the roof. Most importantly possessing the ability to lock into heights and moments that could stop time.
The Doors are a fun, amazing band🤘 - Strange Days, Spanish Caravan, Alabama Song (Whisky Bar), Wild Child, Soul Kitchen, When the Music's Over, My Eye's Have Seen You ...🤘
Like so many '60's era bands The Doors put out so much good music in such a relatively short amount of time. Too bad the Lizard King couldn't stick around for another decade or two.
people tend to emphasize and honestly romanticize jim’s recklessness which is due to a severe alcohol problem. most of the outrageous stories are true but jim, at his core, was a very sweet, thoughtful, shy, and sensitive guy. we need to remember that side of him too.
yes!!! i 1000% agree with your comment, the media portrayed him to be this obnoxious “party animal,” when yes, he did struggle with alcoholism…. but he really was a quiet, gentle introspective guy that aspired to be a poet. 🤘🏼
They always had a session bass player in the studio while recording. Ray did double over the bass lines live tho and for the most part did it extremely well
😂😂😂😂😂 That bit where you said, "C'mon!", seconds before Jimmy sung it was absolute gold!!! That to me showed that you were on his wavelength right then. Can't get anymore genuine than that dude. Nice 👍🤘 I watched that part on repeat!
Yes, Jay sampled this on his diss track vs Nas on "The Takeover".....then Nas came out with "Ether" and absolutely bodied Jay. . Please check out Riders on the Storm, Peace Frog/Blue Sunday, Waiting For the Sun, Spanish Caravan, and The Wasp
The story about when they recorded this song? Jim had ingested a bunch of lsd and alcohol and they actually had an ambulance waiting outside just in case he was to pass out or go unconscious lol. No joke. I remember reading that in one of the books one of the band members put out. So it wasn’t sung perfectly but they kept it the way it was because it was raw and dirty.
@@XCaliKev yeah. I remember reading that they recorded it in the dark with a single candle lit. And that later that night after they finished the recording..Jim went back and broke into the studio and sprayed the entire studio down with a fire extinguisher 🤣
👍😎 yup, didn’t hear the fire extinguisher part though. They couldn’t capture how it felt live so they took Jim out put him in right state of mind. Then 1 take. Listening to that and knowing the story, they were amazing, really wish could have seen them. Thank God for film and UA-cam.
Morrison was an animal in how he could just own a song via visceral emotion, shift of tone and evocative lyrics. Inconsistent, but when on his A game, the most dangerous lead singer in rock in his era.
FUCK YEAH! you’re so right. Jim effortlessly poured his soul in every performance. He didn’t even have to try, it’s not like he was the most experienced vocalist either.. the best way to describe him is that he was just RAW. It was the way he carried himself on stage, he transformed into this dark character that captured his audience. His stage presence was something’ else! RIP to the LIZARD KING! 🤘🏼
@@tarap.m2376 agree, when on his A game.... but it wasnt effortlessly, hence the inconsistency. morrison had to feel it & then really hone it. when it came together, agree, he was a very special talent. maybe the best in rock ever at slowing time & creating real tension & drama... but, he had a decent number of crap shows. either he was frustrated, too high or drunk or apathetic. granted some of those too could be interesting b/c of his b@lls to do and say anything. but performance wise, many of those shows were ugly & could be garbage... morrison wasnt contrived thats for sure. whether he was feeling it & inspired to heights or frustrated, he kept it real w/ his feelings.
Look at the Greatest Hits album and the other compilation albums... it's so hard to narrow it down. Just get all the original releases and as much live stuff as you can!
This is another favorite. Imagine some of the emotions young people felt hearing those lyrics in the late 60's and into the 70's... i always felt like this was one of those original rebellious songs. Like it's the rebel anthem.
I have just been a part of "the family” for a few months. I don't know if you read comments on older reactions, but I am playing catch-up with all your reactions, and commenting when I have words. I have cancer and watching your reactions to the music I grew up on; from the mid 60's on, puts a smile on my face every time I hit play. Sir, You Are A Very Good Human, let no one ever tell you otherwise. Having Grand Funk Railroad, The Doors, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, C, S, N, & Y, Janis, SRV, The Who, Bob Dylan, etc. on multiple playlist keep me going. I was lucky and fortunate that from 1971 on I have 191 shows and concerts behind me. My music keeps me sane these days (your part of that). I have stumbled upon several young new artist in the last 3 years [at least new to me] who's music would have played in the late 60' and early 70's. It's very refreshing to see young people perfecting their talents and are making real quality sound. There is one artist that I listen to these last 3 years more than anyone else. It is Warren Zevon - a good song to start with would be either: “Keep Me in Your Heart” ua-cam.com/video/UotS7F0Orks/v-deo.html OR “She's Too Good For Me” ua-cam.com/video/c0NRrBNMpFM/v-deo.html There’s a reason I picked lyric videos instead of live performances or production videos. Because, if you choose to do a Reaction to Warren Zevon; I want you to after you have your video edited and posted; take some time and watch this VH-1 Special about him. His music is inspirational almost spiritual for me. Here is the link to the documentary - ua-cam.com/video/hIaOHkeQNMk/v-deo.html Sorry for the length of my comment, but I’ve not slept in 48 hours, and the keyboard is like a conversation to me. I am so glad that I found you and your channel, you make this 64-year-old hippie smile on the worst of the worst days. Thanks for all you do in keeping great music alive. I could list hundreds of songs and artists, but I won’t keep rambling on. Have a great day.
Had to stop what I was doing immediately for this one! When I went to Paris the first stop I made was to the cemetery to see Jim’s grave. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 (it’s Jay Z’s Takeover. 🔥🔥🔥)
Been a Doors guy for decades. Somehow missed this song. Heard it in a bar the other day for the first time and knew instantly who it was. Been watching Jamel’s videos for months. Funny when your worlds collide. Good finds good finds good. And so on!
You must read Ray Manzarek’s book “light my fire”. Jim was definitely out of control for this one. He details his history with Jim and The Doors beautifully.
“5:1 was the approximate ratio of whites to blacks, young to old, and non pot smokers to pot smokers in the U.S. in 1967. It was also the amount of Vietnamese to American soldiers in Vietnam although Jim Morrison said the lyrics were not political.” And yep, Jay Z sampled this on his 2000 song “Takeover,” produced by Kanye. Mos Def sampled it too on the song “Rape Over” from 2004. - Songfacts
I was just listening to the album "Backstage and Dangerous" its like sound check recordings and stuff and theres a GREAT version of gloria on there and some other cool bluesy songs with jim morrison just fucking around lol like build me a woman.
Grateful that you listened to this one...I was offered their sound from father when I was 8 years old. Have loved them ever since. This band was made up musical geniuses - Keeping Jim on track was a common thing! =)
This studio version beats the socks off all the live versions. I love how the background vocal "Get together one more time" continues under the instrumental, and keeps on going. ... and that BASS!!! Wow! ... And I like the piano in this version vs the organ in the live versions. BTW "Go on home and wait for me, baby, I'll be there in just a little while. You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and get f'ked up one more time."
I saw Hov at MSG years ago and when he did "Takeover" there was a huge screen at the back of the stage showing a loop with Kurt Cobain throwing himself at the drum kit. I, as a huge Doors fan, absolutely loved it.
Not to touch the earth has a similarly gritty sound and beat to it as this one, house upon the hill moon is lyin still shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze come on baby run with me.Morrison could really paint a picture with words better than anyone.
I saw thier last concert in Miami ,Florida, what a thrill an a free ticket too boot, Thank you Debbie. A night to remember. GONE to soon and too many more. ,Know you were loved RIP
The Doors have a special place in my heart . The first group my older brother turned me on to , way back in 1968 when i was 11 . Great reaction to a fantastic group and song. Miss u Billy.
Hello JKJ. It is a blessing how music can join us, bring all of us together. Please , u really need to hear. Dancing with St. Peter- From Sign of 4. There are two version of this particular song. You need to hear the Sign of 4. Dancing with St. Peter. You have reacted to this artist. With a somewhat more popular, but still obscure band. I will not name at this time. I have never before heard such song-that is so depressing/yet uplifting! At the same time. I know your reaction will be...OMG that was so beautiful, so why am I crying?
theres an old interview with Jim floating around youtube where he predicts rap music......he said something like one day the kids will be enjoying songs that are really spoken word over a beat.
One of my favorite Doors tunes. This song has a great history too. It took so many takes and Jim was Soooo drunk. You can hear the guy go "One more time" like ok last take here at the beginning of the recording. Crazy to think if his drunk ass didn't nail that take we wouldn't have what we have today
YES.... Finally someone who reacted to 5 to 1 LOL Now if we can get a "Peace Frog" Reaction I'll be HAPPY!! =P GREAT Reaction!! and Remember "The Doors" were wayyyyyyy b4 most bands, singers!! =))
@@jimbrentar yeah, I read that book like the Door’s bible. Then I heard the band and everyone close to Jim said a lot of it was shit. The author thought of himself as closer to Jim and the band than he actually was.
Oh shit, we've hit a solid pocket of The Doors! ABSOLUTE Hottest tip I have: Them in NY 1970, "When The Music's Over" for the best rock scream in history. I'll find and link in a reply. Okay that was hilarious, you saying "come on" at that perfect moment 😆
The whole 15 minute live epic is totally worth it even for the middle section where the entire thing falls apart ua-cam.com/video/-gTiJRRck-A/v-deo.html
Robbie Krieger's guitar solo inspired Ace Frehley's solo in the KISS song She, which in turn inspired Mike McCready's guitar solo on Pearl Jam's Alive. This was also the song they were playing in Miami when Jim got arrested on stage for supposedly exposing himself and attempting to start a riot.😆👍
I dig that too. A perfect example of using a previous artist's tune would be Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness 1974 and Fresh Prince's Summertime from 1991. Recently I recognized the intro in House of Pain's Jump Around 1989 as being from Bob & Earl's Harlem Shuffle 1965!

The Doors at their finest moment IMO. Such a hard hitting song.
IMO in my opinion so hard to type, Jim would slap your face
He’s the Lizard King, he can do anything…
👍😎👍
"I want to get my kicks before this whole shit-house goes up in flames"
Could do anything
Alien, not Mexican, extraterrestrial. ?
😂 Oh yes he is 🤘
Peace Frog is a good one, also.
Haven’t listened to the Doors in ages and have been enjoying your reactions. :)
was just thinking about Peace Frog, it a real stand out track for them.
Peace Frog is a great track

Damn, that makes sense. Ive listened to this song for years and never put that together, sadly for me, lol. Thanks brother
Agree.
Handful of dimes = dime bags/ Heroin.
Between this tune, ‘Roadhouse Blues’, and ‘When the Music’s Over’, this is how I learned to be a rock ‘n’ roll frontman.
You too? Do you own a pair of leather pants as well?

Agree
I've read several books on the doors. Here's a fun story from one: The Doors mgmt hired a bodyguard for Jim to stop him from drinking. Well, Jim and the bodyguard ended up in a bar and both got wrecked =)
One of the biographies of Jim Morrison is titled "No One Here Gets Out Alive".
He and Babe was inseparable.
He was a USC football player. 6 6 260lbs. One of the first bodygaurds for stars. His job was no to keep fans away it was to babysit morrison. He couldnt last a month. Morrison just outdrank him till he quit. Same with Van Morrison when Them came to LA. They were 2 irish guys with the same sirname. He only lasted 2 weeks.
Morrison's greatest rock lyrics:
"Cancel my subscription to the resurrection, send my credentials to the house of detention"
Jamel always nailing the samples. You're the best. Peace Frog/Blue Sunday by the Doors is an underrated fav. of many fans. You should love it.
How is Peace Frog underrated? It’s one of their most played songs on radio?
@@MikeB12800 As far as reaction channels go. Just don't see it.
@@MikeB12800 It's rarely on Canadian radio, it could never be overplayed imo tho so I'm biased.

Unmistakable sound of The Doors. Nothing like them in the history of music.
"Love the bass." The only major band at the time without a bass player. It's Ray doing it on keyboards.
They always had a session bass player in the studio while recording. Ray did double over the bass lines live tho and for the most part did it extremely well
"Hey man, I don't know what's gonna happen man, but I'm gonna get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames".

I saw Hov at MSG years ago and when he did "Takeover" there was a huge screen at the back of the stage showing a loop with Kurt Cobain throwing himself at the drum kit. I, as a huge Doors fan, absolutely loved it.
Yes!! Their best song for me. This song is the epitome of filthy.
My favorite Doors tune. Love it keep it up man.
Not to touch the earth has a similarly gritty sound and beat to it as this one, house upon the hill moon is lyin still shadows of the trees witnessing the wild breeze come on baby run with me.Morrison could really paint a picture with words better than anyone.
Love the doors reactions, keep em coming. I would recommend the song "The Spy" off the Morrison hotel album. Thank you
I saw thier last concert in Miami ,Florida, what a thrill an a free ticket too boot, Thank you Debbie. A night to remember. GONE to soon and too many more.
,Know you were loved
RIP
Morrison's father was an admiral in the US Navy.
That was great, you said come on then he did. I was cracking up.
"No one here gets out alive" sort of sums up life in general....
Dude, you are such a pleasant presence on the Tube! You rock, man. Love your spirit and style.
Jamel you're just the BEST !
Nailed that "come on"!
You're the best Jamel. I love this song. Be good to yourself and others. ROCK ON!!!🤘
Oh yeah once you open the door to the DOORS life is never the same 🤘🤘
The Doors have a special place in my heart . The first group my older brother turned me on to ,
way back in 1968 when i was 11 . Great reaction to a fantastic group and song. Miss u Billy.
One of my fav songs of them🔥
👍😎 Jamel, “Celebration of the Lizard” (LIVE) Jim is the lizard king, he can do anything.
The" c' mon" and jamal, hit it exact!
You crazy, but you crazy good. Thanks for sharing and keep on keeping on!!
Doors always surprise the casual listener. We all know their big hits, then a jewel like this is sprung.
🎶 Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive 🎶
😎😉😎
Yes just yes. when i first heard it, beginning of my awakening.
Papa loves mambo - Perry Como
Hell yeah Jamal thank you and enjoy 👍😎😊
Hello JKJ. It is a blessing how music can join us, bring all of us together. Please , u really need to hear. Dancing with St. Peter- From Sign of 4. There are two version of this particular song. You need to hear the Sign of 4. Dancing with St. Peter. You have reacted to this artist. With a somewhat more popular, but still obscure band. I will not name at this time. I have never before heard such song-that is so depressing/yet uplifting! At the same time. I know your reaction will be...OMG that was so beautiful, so why am I crying?
The quintessential California sound of The Doors, so impactful in such a short time.
Love The Doors 🤘🏼🤘🏼 First album was incredible!
theres an old interview with Jim floating around youtube where he predicts rap music......he said something like one day the kids will be enjoying songs that are really spoken word over a beat.
That's really cool. I wonder what year he said that. Gil Scott-Heron did just that in the early '70s.
@@ijustneedmyself i just looked it up....in '69....just search Jim Morrison Predicts the Future of Music

This and "People are Strange" are the best Doors songs by far, in my opinion.
One of my favorite Doors tunes. This song has a great history too. It took so many takes and Jim was Soooo drunk. You can hear the guy go "One more time" like ok last take here at the beginning of the recording. Crazy to think if his drunk ass didn't nail that take we wouldn't have what we have today
Love your open mind
YES.... Finally someone who reacted to 5 to 1 LOL Now if we can get a "Peace Frog" Reaction I'll be HAPPY!! =P GREAT Reaction!! and Remember "The Doors" were wayyyyyyy b4 most bands, singers!! =))
based on a statistic suggesting that 20% of US soldiers who fought in Vietnam died
Any source behind that? I remember reading that no one knows where Jim came up with the number.
@@MikeB12800 I believe i read that in "No-one Here Gets Out Alive"
@@jimbrentar yeah, I read that book like the Door’s bible. Then I heard the band and everyone close to Jim said a lot of it was shit. The author thought of himself as closer to Jim and the band than he actually was.
I heard this song from Patric o'neal unsung sample they were talking about with JB SMOOTH.
Maaaann Brother Jamal, U an Brother Jayvee are knockin it outta the park tonight 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼
Five to One is one of the featured classic rock songs in the Disney film Cruella.
One of Kreigers best shreds. Jim is always on fire. Do a live stream of this album!
Thus is my all time fave door song
Oh shit, we've hit a solid pocket of The Doors!
ABSOLUTE Hottest tip I have: Them in NY 1970, "When The Music's Over" for the best rock scream in history. I'll find and link in a reply.
Okay that was hilarious, you saying "come on" at that perfect moment 😆
The whole 15 minute live epic is totally worth it even for the middle section where the entire thing falls apart ua-cam.com/video/-gTiJRRck-A/v-deo.html
Robbie Krieger's guitar solo inspired Ace Frehley's solo in the KISS song She, which in turn inspired Mike McCready's guitar solo on Pearl Jam's Alive. This was also the song they were playing in Miami when Jim got arrested on stage for supposedly exposing himself and attempting to start a riot.😆👍
Actually I don't think he was arrested on stage, but those were the charges.
Saludos cordiales. 2 years💓🖐️🖐️💯🇲🇽
the doors. A great great band. Down and dirty here.
Not To Touch The Earth is a great Doors song.
The Doors:
* The Soft Parade
* Whiskey, Mystics and Men
* Universal Mind
too deep brah
I dig that too. A perfect example of using a previous artist's tune would be Kool & The Gang's Summer Madness 1974 and Fresh Prince's Summertime from 1991. Recently I recognized the intro in House of Pain's Jump Around 1989 as being from Bob & Earl's Harlem Shuffle 1965!
This song kicks ass !
Like Jamel ... kicking ass and taking subs
