Micks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm a huge Doors fan. They're really a great live band. Morrison was fucking unpredictable at times which is probably why people enjoyed watching this so much. Oh, and they're of course great, great musicians all of them.

F*ck Fear Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I've been listening to alot of live stuff lately, and have discovered that my favortie performances came from 1970. A very bluesy time, and less of the theatrical showmanship that they had going on from 66'-69'. I like the bluesy shit like 'Crawling King Snake', 'Cars Hiss By My Window', and 'Roadhouse Blues'.I really want to get my hands on those Bright Midnight Archive releases. I've got Boston, which I wasn't to fond of, since the vocals seem pretty low in the mix at times. I've heard some of Detroit, and it sounds great.

highvoltage Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wow... you know, recently the Doors have just seemed to "click" with me. I never used to get what the fuss was all about, but the other day I put an album on and I was totally absorbed in it. Morrison had me hypnotised.

I've been listening to them nonstop lately.At least you finally understand what made them so great. I do notice alot of youngsters getting into them just because it's "cool" but it's nice when you see someone really appreciate The Doors.

Estranged Reality Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 There are admittedly some "classic" bands that I have a hard time really enjoying altogether. I'll find certain classic rock bands have certain songs I love, but I can never get into their albums completely.I expected that much from The Doors, but I must have been about 14 when I bought a three-pack (LA Woman, S/T, Morrison Hotel) and each one had my full interest. I couldn't stop playing them. I think some people, when I tell them I like The Doors, think I'm just saying it because it's cliched. But no, I really do love the band, and they have some fantastic under-the-radar songs like Hyacinth House and Tell All the People that are great. (I love Morrison's "it's just meeee" on Tell All the People). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Orange County Suite as a bonus track to the new 40th year anniversary mix of L.A. Woman is a cool fucking song. Anyone else heard this tune? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else heard this tune?I have the Perception box set but I don't think I've listened to all the bonus material. I also haven't played the DVD-Audio discs, which I really should some time. But I did hear the Orange County Suite as a live performance on a bootleg once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) It's been a while since I heard it, so I don't recall too much about it. I have an album called Mystic Man - The Uncut Soft Parade Sessions 1968-69 and Orange County Suite is included, subtitled "Poetry Session 3/69" so it's just Jim speaking. Then I have another two versions on The Lost Paris Tapes - one the song itself, the other being another poetry session. I actually prefer it in the poetry form - Jim just reading the words is pretty cool. But I'll have to pull out the Perception set tomorrow and give the LA Woman version another listen. 'By the way, the Perception box set is fucking ace. I don't know if you have the individual albums, FF, or the box set itself - but even though the price on it is pretty high, it's worth it if you're a fan.BTW here is my review of the set from last year: http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=84903&hl= Edited August 14, 2007 by Estranged Reality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I haven't heard that set. I see www.thedoors.com is selling a limited amount of copies of it right now. I am not fortunate enough to buy shit online, so I get fucked for all these goodies haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F*ck Fear Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The 'An American Poet' disc is fucking wicked too. I gave it a spin or two last week, after not listening to it for awhile. I love Jim's words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I saw The Doors w/ Ian Astbury on vocals. It was a nice tribute show. Worth the 25 bucks.I won't go see them with Brett Scallions singing. I wouldn't pay a nickel for that.What's the deal with that? Did Ian leave? Last I heard they were recording an album.i remembering hearing densmore was suing em a whiles back.From what I understand, part of the settlement between Densmore and the others was that they would change their name- hence the change to Riders On The Storm.Ian Astbury decided to go back to doing The Cult, and that's why he left. The Cult has a new cd coming out in October, and I can't wait to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Also I believe I read at www.ridersonthestorm.com forums that the Ian Astbury recording sessions are going to be released sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffrankwhite Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 i despise the idea that manzarek et al have dragged Jims niche into such a fuckin pit that oafs like astbury are shunning it in favor of the fuckin cult. that band was really something and they're making it into this travelling...ahh, i dunno the words man, just sucks.

moreblack Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) About Astbury, I saw D21C (before the name change to Riders...) last summer and Ian was the only one performing to his capabilities and actually sounding good. Ray and Robbie sounded out of tune, out of time, out of touch, kinda like old men whose hands don't work anymore...

Totally missing that fucking vintage Doors, organ sound. Sounds terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
