This was an edit, not the full track btw. The full track is seven minutes and fifteen seconds.
I really miss the way we used to record. No sequencing, sampling, autotune etc. Just pure analogue with patience, talent, a razor blade and splicing tape. I'm getting old! Great reaction.
For the iconic track “Riders On The Storm,” the Doors enlisted bass players Marc Benno and Jerry Scheff. Scheff, after hearing what Manzarek had in mind on the keyboard, came up with the distinctive bass line that contributes to the song’s atmospheric and haunting vibe. So, while the Doors didn’t have a permanent bassist, they certainly knew how to bring in talented musicians to enhance their sound when needed!
The Doors hired session bass players for all of their studio recordings going back to their first album. Ray played the bass with his keyboard when they performed live.
And Jerry of course was Elvis's bass player.
It's also a bit strange in the sense it mixes majors and minors (I believe it was A major E minor) which doesn't happen a lot and adds to the atmosphere of the tune.
Thank you for this. The Doors' bassist question has always been a huge mystery to me.
The moment you said "trippy" and "sounds cinematic"
I immediately thought of a fantastic song that is both trippy and was in the soundtrack to a classic movie.
The song is
"THE PUSHER" by steppenwolf
And the movie is
"EASY RIDER"
It is one hell of a
"Jaw dropping" song !
(Live is good, but play the studio version for the full sound).
It would be a crime not to also recommend their
Mind-blowing song
"HOOCHIE COOCHIE MAN"
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
The lyrics were written and brought to rehearsal by Morrison, of which a portion of it refers to hitchhiking killer Billy "Cockeyed" Cook, who was the subject of the 1953 film, The Hitch-Hiker. Manzarek noted that some lines express Morrison's love to his companion Pamela Courson.
The Doors were among the most controversial & influential rock acts of the 60's, mostly due to Jim Morrison's lyrics & voice. They had a lot of great songs such as "Love Me Two Times", "Roadhouse Blues", "The End", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "People Are Strange", "Light My Fire", "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.
You named all the Hits…not their best songs. ‘The End’, ‘Back Door Man’, ‘Take It As It Comes’, ‘Strange Days’, ‘Horse Latitudes’, ‘You’re Lost Little Girl’, ‘Unhappy Girl’, ‘My Eyes Have Seen You’, ‘Spanish Caravan’, ‘Five To One’, ‘Waiting For the Sun’, ‘Queen Of the Highway’, ‘’Maggie M’Gill’, ‘Been Down So Long’, and the ‘Celebration Of the Lizard’ medley. That last may be the greatest Doors composition ever. There are some great tunes amongst their hits, but their best work was too dark for the average American listener, who, most of them still thought the Beatles were risqué
It’s not a coincidence that many of their biggest hits were written by Robby Krieger, not Jim. Jim was from another planet, mate. Most of the songs you listed are just simple love songs. They made the band rich, but in the end, I think Jim knew that fame and riches were fun but they didn’t fulfill him. He and I are both the kind of people that will stand at the edge of a cliff over an infinite void, and keep creeping closer to the edge, seeing just how close we can get without falling off. You can see it in his eyes: the Call Of the Void-that weird, alien desire to jump that some people feel on high-rise balconies and high mountain cliffs. It’s like a kind of magnetism. Jim was a man who has looked Death and Madness-both bottomless abysses-in the face too many times. This is who he was: a man with a compulsion to push the line ever closer to the edge. I know the feeling; I have it, too. Of course, Jim was a genius; I’m just some guy.
If you want to listen to some catchy tunes, listen to the above playlist. If you want to know Jim Morrison, listen to mine. Either way, i‘ll turn up, as I love the Doors in general. But the songs I mentioned are the ones that really set the Doors apart from other popular 60s bands. Not more love songs, of which there were an INCREDIBLE glut, especially in California throughout the 60s, but instead these invitations to come down to the most abyssal gulfs of Tartarus and play in Jim’s black sandbox, and look at yourself in his black mirror.
@@riphopfer5816 - whatever, ego-boy
@@rogerbianchini2982 You know, I’m real tired of people like you treating self-awareness like it’s some kind of disease. Also, I’m in my 40s, I sadly left my boyhood behind at too young an age. There’s been nothing boyish about me since I found my best mate dead of a gunshot wound in the his soundproofed music practise space when I was 14 and he was 16. Don’t forget it takes some ego to be so dismissive and condescending, yourself, matey. Besides, I don’t know what the hell you’re complaining about; I just added another list of several stellar Doors tunes.
@@riphopfer5816
I'm not here for the banter, seems to be plenty of condescension from both of you. More importantly, a good half of the songs you named are also hits... you're both leaving out "The Crystal Ship", "Love Street", "The Moonlight Drive" and "Ghost Song"!!! Objectively and inarguably their best songs.
@@rogerbianchini2982 Come on Roger. He and Jim are obviously kindred spirits and he has a perfect right to tell us all what songs to like. 😉
The whole album L.A. Woman is really a classic. You will definitely like the title track and the bass intro on that.
The late 60's and all the seventies were amazing. I believe what differentiated music then from now was that each group kind of did their own thing. Their own sound. Poets were a thing to be explored, creativity had no limits. Then big business took over and slowly squashed the power of individual bands and their influence. Now your famous if they've been allowed to use you and manufacture your image style etc.... we saw some resurgence with the grunge thing in the 90's. But now everyone is trying to fit an image or "manufacture" songs. Very few groups during the seventies sounded anything like another group. If you look at the popular bands no one could touch a pink Floyd or Zeppelin or am moody blues, doors, ACDC, America, Crosby Stills Nash and young, Alice Cooper, Animals (sounded a bit like doors). The list just keeps going on...heart, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac....and on and on....they all had their own unique sound, their own unique power.
The Doors didn't have a traveling bass player on the road. They used session musicians in the studio for bass. This bassist on the L.A. Woman album was Jerry Scheff, the bassist for Elvis Presley. He is still with us and playing. He has a Facebook page that is regularly updated.
An amazing and often overlooked band from the Seventies is Free: ‘All Right Now’ is an absolute classic! And you would love the bass line 😊
Beautiful song...very psychedelic atmosphere...typical of the 70s. Ciao Ciao gorgeous Millie
Yeah, this video cuts the song short. The keyboard riff is so much better not cut.
it sounds so good because it is Real! Like has been said in your comments, no digital anything...just dedication and Work! GREAT! react, thanks so much
Great reaction Millie but this is a very edited and altered version. The album version is what you want. Thanks, it’s always a pleasure to catch your videos.
The Doors - The Soft Parade (Soundstage Performances) it's a live performance worth a watch for true fans of The Doors.
"Strange Days" is another trippy Doors song.
This is my favourite Doors song .. so sensual.
Before the record companies took over , bands were allowed to create their music their way and not according to some pre-determined formula
Doors was more in the '60s than the 1970s.
Pure analog recording - it’s magical how well this song breathes. Great reaction Millie. ✌️❤️🔥
One of the few Doors songs with an actual bass player. Normally Ray did the keyboards and used a keyboard bass.
You're right about their songs being cinematic. They met at school while studying cinema, so they decided to build their music as it was a movie, Their music reflects very well their love for cinema.
You’re doing a great job. I am 69 years old and I’m from that era so an answer to your question of how they did it. It has to do with the seriousness of the time. Everything was felt and done in a very deep feeling. That generation of people, my generationwere much more serious than the young people today. Look up “the fourth turning” if you want to know more about generations and the way they act.
They were allowed to experiment more in the late 60s early 70s. Today big money and the algorithm have all the say
La woman to be done next
Music back then was recorded in studios that had room ambience. The recording engineers knew about mic placement. There were reverb rooms with huge plates. They didn’t rely on plugins. Simple
Hi Millie! New subscriber. Music was much harder to DIY back then. So it was more important to get it as right as possible before sending it to the public via the radio and expensive physical media. There’s probably more that I missed in that story.
I know you like bass, so I encourage you to check out the track “Buena” by the band named Morphine.
Keep exploring and enjoying the music.
Back in the day the bands ran the industry. Execs didn't think they knew better than the musicians. Today its the other way around.
I believe the whispered background vocals are the last thing Jim Morrison recorded before he unfortunately passed away, it makes the song ever more haunting
The bass, drums and keyboards almost has a jazz feel to it. 60s and 70s music had real instruments where as the 80s on started using synthesizers and computerized sounds.
You will notice a lot of music from the 70s and earlier were not very long. During WWII, booths were in public settings for men and women to record messages to loved ones. Later, singles were written and recorded to fit 45 rpm records to sell separately from the album. A hit song would have another song (not played on the radio) on the other side. Call it a teaser to get you to buy the album. A portable turntable and a stack of 45s could be carried anywhere where radios weren't available. You could listen to music your parents objected to in privacy.
The Doors were pretty important - a dangerous band. Their epics should all be heard, particularly "When the Musics Over" and "The Soft Parade". A few of my personal best would include "Moonlight Drive", "Soul Kitchen", "Hyacinth House" and "Tell All the People", but "Maggie M'Gill" is my number one.
I have seen a few videos of The Doors "Riders On The Storm" but not this one. This was the single edit version. Lots of Door songs you will enjoy. "L.A. Woman" (great bass sound Millie!) and "Roadhouse Blues" are my favorites. 😎
Welcome to The Doors, young lady. This song was inspired in part by a childhood experience of Jim Morrison. His family was on vacation in the American Southwest, somewhere like Arizona or New Mexico. While driving down a highway, Jim's family came upon a terrible accident on the road: a bus full of American Indians had had a bad wreck, and there were "dead Indians all over the road," with blood and gore smeared everywhere. Jim saw this when he was very young child, and became one of the foundational memories of his life.
If you like this kind of vibe, listen to their songs "When The Music's Over" and "The End."
Back then they were called artists and they showed it in their work , some made it some didn't :)
Listen to Light my fire. Next time you listen to something by The Doors. Or another classic rock guitarist, Rory Gallagher and his Do you read me or Philby or Walking on hot coals
Good musicianship is a good first step to playing well.
THE DOORS ETERNOS THE DOORS FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER JIM, JHON , RAY, ROBBIE ROCK AND ROLL
The era of love and peace✌❤
Hang On Sloopy
The Mccoys 1960’s era
I think back then the musicians and singers had to be better because they did not have computers tuning their music for them. I am 72 and remember the music very well and went to many concerts.
They played the music, for real ..
This version is severely edited 😏
M - During the late '60s - early '70s, The Doors were my favorite band...but...there was also Three Dog Night. Morrison was the Doors' only front man, but 3DN had three -- plus a kick-ass bass player. I can't believe 3DN has escaped your attention, and you're going to love what you discover. According to Wikipedia, "the band had 21 Billboard Top 40 hits between 1969 and 1975, with three hitting number one." Since its release in 1968, I have used 3DN's "One" ( czcams.com/video/M8JO51TLGgg/video.html ) to test the bass response of every piece of audio gear purchased! "One" is a great choice for your introductory reaction to Three Dog Night!!
The group name was inspired by “The Doors of Perception,” by Aldous Huxley.
Unfortunately this modern video distracts a lot from the song. It takes away from the message of the song. It's so heavy and deep lyrically that it doesn't need this video.
Hi Millie. Unfortunately you have listened to a shortened version of this track. My favourite bit is partly missing, the Ray Manzarek solo. The opening has also been cut.
The Doors, The best Of The Best 🤘🤘🤘
everytime i hear this song i remeber playing need for speed way back in the day
Happy you mentioned the piano. (Ray Manzarek) Most people think only of Jim Morrison when they think of the Doors, BUT Morrison himself said "Manzarek is the driving force of the Doors". Watch this live video of an old Manzarek playing & telling the story of the making of "Riders". czcams.com/video/3deQXzV-qTk/video.html
"LA Woman" would have been a great Doors song to react to.
You owe it to yourself to listen to the full album version, no video, to let yourself really drift into the space that The Doors intend.
THE BASS!
My favorite from the doors are the end and five to one
Nice reaction! I'm glad you're getting to like the Doors! I grew up with this music, as I was born in '54, and know what you mean. Artists back then had a way of tapping right into your soul. That spiritual commonality that connects us to the source. I got to see the Doors, live, in Honolulu back in '69. For 3 1/2 bucks. My first rock concert! I saw CCR twice, later on. And Jethro Tull in 1972 for the Aqualung tour there. Moody Blues same year, on and on... I'd suggest The Door's Crystal Ship, Strange Days (song), and the Hyacinth House, to start.
No bass guitar nor bass player in the group composition. Ray, the piano maestro used a double level piano, left hand for the bass notes, right hand for the more classical piano ... such performance 😮
Any video distracts from the atmospheric nature of the song. Just feel yourself driving down a desert highway in a convertible with rain in the distance.
Millie, try the words "Colorful, Diverse, and Transporting" music of those decades.... They wrote more about how you felt about life if you allowed yourself to experience it, not react to it. Buggy4u say's: Wishing you "Peace, Love, and Dreamy Vibes"!
❤💯
Try listening to the end, by the Doors . I think you will like it!
He has some great ones. My personal favorite is People are Strange.
The iconic film Apocalypse Now begins with The Doors’ The End.
I wish you'd had the original video or a live version of The Doors doing it, than this "modern interpretation" of it
You should check out the song "The End" live from the Hollywood Bowl.
The music was real back then
I bet you would love "Love reign oer me" by The Who
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸Sometimes I forget you have not heard everything.
If you're looking for another song with a good bass line, check out Paul Simon;"You can call me Al."
I would suggest looking aT NOTHING for a second listen ..These newer images probably just kills the imagination and another song suggestion When The Music's Over The Doors .
Hello Millie Mochi, here is another version of this good song: CZcams video: The Doors- Riders On The Storm Gayageum ver. by Luna
It was called psychedelic rock
This was an edit, not the full track btw. The full track is seven minutes and fifteen seconds. they cut out the best part of the piano solo CRIMMINAL
70s music from West Coast was very different than any other part of country.
west coast was lsd as typified by the doors while east coast was heroin as typified by velvet underground - both bands popular at approx the same moment, yet two very different sounds - the whole magic bus thing was ken kesey trying to bring lsd culture to the east coast by loading the merry pranksters into a tricked up school bus and driving cross country
Entonces creo que te gustaría ver la peli.
One word describes older music...better.
haha
hola podrias darle una oportunidad al TANGO ? con temas como TIEMPOS VIEJOS de julio SOSA o MANO A MANO de carlos GARDEL . GRACIAS
If you want the 70s you have to hear Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf.
The video shown is the new official music video for the song, but it is nowhere near the music video that was broadcast when the song was released (1971). The following video was shown at the time:
czcams.com/video/iPRSxwZBmcM/video.html
which is much better, I think.
Keep it up and have fun.👍😏
How about music is a reflection of society at the time, look at the state of things today generally turbulent. In the 70s things were stable people could concentrate and really get into music they were also very much more innocent,. You may have heard of the mellow 70s. Then in 80s started getting harder. I look at it like people had time and ability to explore music starting in 60s and kept getting harder from Elvis to Beatles then zeppelin then Metallica in 90s then nirvana put a stop to metal and everything fizzled out then you had rap and teeny bopper bands and music is generally lost. But to answer your question,. I think the greatness of music from end of 60s to say 1983/84 where it peaked is due to the unmatched freedom and peace won by WW2 which provided stability and carefree lifestyles where people could get into the finer points of music. A state of mind created by events in the world which comes and goes throughout history.
Hello there hey there hey Hello
Do "The End" by the doors.......the full version......i dare you.
You gotta hit LA Woman or back door man
There was more creativeness in the old days because the music studios weren't as tightly controlled by the suits. Today, the studio execs have the priority of making lots of money for their shareholders. Any exec who fails to do that usually doesn't last long. To play it safe, and to ensure maximum profit, the execs have a formula that bands must follow. These formulas are based on statistics. That's why music today always sounds the same.
It's the same in movies. Studios are scared to try anything new, so they take a movie with a proven track record, and sequel it to death.
Awesome ❤🙏👍
This is the last song that Jim Morrison recorded.
You need to find the full version this is hacked to pieces by someone that doesn't really appreciate music. In the full version that keyboard solo is legendary and twice has long.
The Doors were very controversial in the day. You definitely are not from the 60-70’s but you might have an old soul. Nothing wrong with that.
😎
great song but you need to see the DOORS doing it...not fake video version
El rey lagarto
For story and mood from the late 1970s listen to Tom Waits. An amazing storyteller. If you don’t have tears in your eyes by the end of his song, Kentucky Avenue, I’d be amazed.
It seems They cut some of the music out of this version.
Older music has depth. It was written to make good music. Not to just make money.
Kind of impossible to do a proper listen with a distracting video in the background. This is also a chopped up version of the song. The buildup at the front is completely cut.
Well previous generations were more engaged with the real world and not the pablum that a steady diet of E-screens deliver. There's was a multi-dimensional world much more intellectually stimulating and worthy of exploration. You actually had to read and reading material was far more prevalent. This made for far better art including music.
There are multiple reasons older music sounds better. But for starters...
1.)Generally speaking, being a recording artist required more instrumental competency than today. Tape was expensive in the analog era, and mistakes cost money. There was no "punching in" to rescue a messed-up take. In fact, some labels wouldn't even let young rock bands play on their own albums. Using studio musicians instead.
2. Analog recording in studios built to capture the ambiance of the room tend to have a more organic sound. At least to my ears.
3. The average musician had a more thorough musical education. Kids grew up learning to play instruments at schools, at churches, at home with their families. As a result, they already had fundamentals before they started playing in bands.
4. Rock musicians in the sixties didn't start off playing rock and roll because it barely existed. Even electric guitars were fairly new.
5. The baby boomers had an unprecedented economy so they were able to buy a lot more records. As a result, groups were free to be more experimental without worrying about alienating listeners. Plus, the guys running the labels were older and out of touch with what sold to the dominant music buying public. This made them dependent on young producers to make the albums they believed in. As long as it sold.
6. LPs became more popular than singles. This caused groups to refocus their writing on albums rather than trying to craft big hit songs.
7. Bands were allowed to develop their sound over a few albums rather than being pressured into delivering a hit on the first release.
Try Roadhouse Blues from the Morrison Hotel album. I think you'll love it. Thanks, Millie.
The best way to enjoy this song is to stop talking through it.
I loved how u said Twitch lol
Jerry Scheff on bass. Elvis Presley's bass player
What ya hear is pretty much what you got live in concert
And the doors had one of the best keyboardists
at the time
The music today is crap
