Movies either are either lies, or truth. It depends on the producer. And you have to have strong sense to decipher the difference. In most cases, they're looking to appease the common public to make $$$$. So in most cases, they're lies. Unless you watch the oldies. They thrived on breaking the societal barriers, along with real acting, and not just simulations of "acting". Guns guns sex, and more guns guns and sex.. blah!

Jim had a natural knack for rhythm and vocal pitch. No other way to explain how he was able to sing so well despite having no formal musical training. To me, that just means that he truly loved music. Everyone "listens" or "hears" music but not everyone truly loves it.

The Doors aren’t classic rock, they are proto-metal. You can’t change my mind on that. Listen to any live version of “When the Musics Over” and tell me that wasn’t the heaviest thing in existence back in 1968ish. I don’t know how nobody seems to notice this, but some of the Doors stuff was 1000000x heavier than anything Sabbath did, and to be honest, heavier than anything that can out for another 15 years at least.

Jim's Lead vocals really bring's Doors music too life. Together they are one of the greatest groups ever formed, a true one & only. Legends

And his 'schtick' was the origin story he laid down later in 'Dawns Highway' ...he felt like and Ray often remarked that he was like the "musical shaman" of the group...and later became the inspiration for that story which was based on a supposed car accident he witnessed as a young boy recalled in Dawns Highway "indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding"...im sure the events over the years in conjunction with his various 'chemical inspirations' probably took the story on a life of its own in his brilliant mind..but the story goes that he felt like somehow the spirit of the Indian entered him and thats what gave him the shamanistic trance like stage presence....like I said probably exaggerated by his various 'chemical inspirations' but he put everything he had into this persona and its typical of Jim to resond with "why?" When the producer said "dont blow your voice" he felt it was always necessary to give people his all because he didnt believe he had a great voice and felt that since all the people came out to see them that the least he could do was give everything to his performance....that can only work for so long if you dont have a way to replenish especially as an artist, who like a sponge absorbs everything around them, and unfortunately his trip to paris was just far too late

you can see how Ray kinda gently leads the production, the orchestration. If not for Ray I really don't think the Doors would even be. He was also the diplomat between the band members. Ray was was also way underrated. A truly timeless sound.

Man, does Jim really get into his singing! Love it!!!

I think what happened with Morrison is what happens to a lot of musicians who are put front and center in the spotlight, they turn to booze and drugs to overcome stage fright and when you are doing shows all the time it can quickly spiral out of control. For example I know when the Doors where first starting out Jim wouldn't face the audience out of fear, he would turn his back, so right there that tells me he had the incentive to get drunk or wasted just to get the guts to face the audience.

"Don't overblow Jim......" The spirit of the times. This tune Is giving me goosebumps galore !!

Jim always made it ok to realize that music can cast spells, conjure ancestors and celebrate, tribute the spirit, explore more to reality that the familiar, while standing steady aboard your ship navigating through it, getting your info through it, loving it. When you deal in this kind of trade, this kind of craft, like many of the great bands do, there's no point seriously arguing over who was the best, etc. At this level: mission accomplished my friends, the stage certainly has been set.

Just Robby and John are still alive as of this moment. Jim joined the 27 Club in 1971 and Ray Manzarek passed on ten years ago. The Doors were ahead of their time and stood their ground against The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, The Rolling Stones and so on during the mid to late 1960s. Jim had bravado, virility, swagger, machismo and rawness in his voice.

The thing that most distinguishes The Doors from most artists is their very high I would say pure level of inspiration in composing music and lyrics that seem to come from another world, another dimension, a parallel universe. It seems that the use of psychotropic plants by these extraordinary four artists has produced the effect of receiving artistic inspiration in the form of subliminal communication or even silent knowledge, as Carlos Castaneda and Frank G. Ripel have spoken in their books. These 4 extraordinary men managed to open "The doors of perception", as Aldous Huxley says in his book of the same name and having opened them they managed "... to perceive the infinite" according to the thought of the English poet William Blake. After all, the 4 artists have repeatedly declared that during their "travels" with Peyote they have communicated with an Indian shaman and with an entity that Don Juan of Castaneda would have called "Mescalito", according to Indian tradition. In conclusion, John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison are the 4 Pharaohs of human artistic history, the 4 faces of the God Janus transposed into music and constitute the 4 pyramids of music, poetry, literature and philosophy of life, in a human artistic desert in many ways disheartening when you think of today's commercial music. The Doors are a gift that the Gods of Skies wanted to give to mankind, they are a great sign of discontinuity in the history of the modern art scene. No one was like them or will be like them.

That was bad ass, I've always liked the arrangement. It has been said, there are things that are known... ....and there are things that are unknown, in between....there are *The DOORS*

I've always been awestruck by all four geniuses. Morrison sent me on an insane journey through incredible literature & poetry i.e. Nietzsche, NOB Love's Body & Ferenczi's Thalassa. Can one tie Jim to Norman O. Brown, Ferenczi, Jeff Epstein as child abduction/torture provider, Mossad and MKULTRA? I suspect so.

The band members told him directly he was ruining his health with alcohol, and he admitted he knew it. But he sought no help---maybe too proud to seek it. Of course, back in the late 60s and early 70s these alcohol treatment programs didn't exist like today. Fifty years ago, the alcoholic often had to check into a state/county hospital or such which might also serve as the psychiatric center (the nut house). There was a stigma attached. Nevertheless, Morrison self destructed over a five year span. Creative geniuses often do, although self destruction is not a prerequisite.
