It blew my 12 year old fragile, eggshell mind...


I love that scene, among many others in that movie. I think I must watch it again, soon.

Just think of all the great music you had to listen to when you were my age.  I have....rap, some bastardized version of rock, multiple versions of "metal", "emo", and "screamo".  The newest stuff I listen to is country and The Arcade Fire.  Honestly I can't stand listening to most modern music because it's what was mentioned before, people banging on instruments to make "music" and somehow they sell albums.  Don't ask me, I don't know.

The Doors were to alternative rock-n-roll styles of the 60's/70's as what Mother Love Bone was to the grunge rock-n-roll age of the 90's.  Without one, the other would not have blossomed...imo.

plenty of people can play, and play well. the problem is, to much technical skill, not enough musical skill.

yup, plus music these days is so overly processed most of it is soulless , bland and boring.  

an important ingredient missing from a lot modern music is soul and raw energy... hendrix, led zep, cream, deep purple the doors to name a few had it in spades. you didn't need digital perfection to get that transfer of energy either. an am radio playing purple haze with the volume cranked right up or a cassette tape that had been played so many times it was distorting like heck may have been technically crap by todays standards but it didnt detract from the fix

wow, that's a comparison... :aok

I'll bet 90% here have never heard of mother love bone though. :(

great freaking band, though Andrew Wood wasn't all that. the combo of Ament and Gossard I think made them.

Sounds like some people are confusing ground-breaking with excellence. The Doors were ground breakers. They were the ones who led to all of the greats that came after in the style they invented. When they were the house band at the Whiskey, no one was like them. No, they weren't the greatest musicians ever, but who the hell cares?

seen the doors do that and light my fire.  

This was an unfortunate time in rock when every band had to have one or two endless songs... they were good songs that 10 minutues or an eternity of pure instrumental fill were added to.   Mostly cause they ran out of things to do and maybe partly cause jazz was not that long ago popular.

mostly tho maybe because there were some great musicians who were really learning to use electric guitars.

It just came off as annoying at concerts..  and I been to enough concerts back then.... seen almost everyone... don't even like to hear the stuff on the radio anymore.. been done to death.  

Hell... name a group from back then and I seen em.

Now I listen to tex county and rockabilly and some classical.
