The Doors

[Masherbrum]

Ill check out the ones above. Usually if I can catch one I havent heard on the radio, the instrumental audio is usually a giveaway.

Get the five albums:

The Doors
Strange Days
Waiting for the Sun
Morrison Hotel/Hard Rock Cafe
LA Woman

The tunes played on the radio have NOTHING on the others.

Robby Krieger might have been the first guy to use long echo times to play notes that harmonized with the previous note in a carefully constructed lead line.

It sounds like two guitars but it was just one.

He did it in "Peace Frog" which might be the funkiest Doors song ever.

Yngwie mentioned it inspired him to do his "echo etude"..............in which he takes it the extreme as only Yngwie can.

He's ripping off Brian May more than Robbie Krieger...

Sweet! They are on my Christmas list now

Almost put him and Moon in there, but I was just pointing out to Uptown that MANY artists have passed while they were young.    I suppose Morrison, Moon and Bonham are very alike in that they drank copious amounts of alcohol and having that much disposable income only fueled that desire.    Moon was in the "Hollywood Vampires" club with Alice Cooper, Mickey Dolenz, Harry Nillsson.   The only way to get into the club was to out drink all the members.     

Bonham's binges are legendary as well.    It's just a shame that a lot of "stars" did it to themselves.   So much talent.

forgot about Moon....hell he gave Zepp their name....and yes I agree talent gone too early

imagine these people in one band with your mind's ear if you can: hendrix, mercury, harrison, and flea. (plus someone to play the drums, anyone will do)

[uptown]

wait, Flea from the Chilli Peppers is dead? wtf man!


Bonham on the drums ofcoarse

But Flea is alive........Throw Cliff Burton, James Jamerson, Dee Murray or John Entwhistle in there from the "list of deceased bass players" and I can see it working...

  Thx Kayara. VonKrimm had me worried there for a second.

  I have all of these except Waiting for the sun,I even have a copy of "the Doors" that has never been played. These are LP's that I have,most have only been played once or I have a second copy that I listen to.

  Went through 7 copies of darkside of the moon over the years,still have an unplayed copy of that too.

Brian May did that 30 years after Robby Krieger.

All of Brian's harmony lines were doubletracked on queen albums.

They were not done with delay.

[tassos]

for me it was a long Time Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett....but look what they done....the club where he last play before he falled from the sky is now a ALDI discount market

and this is the check 6 call song ...help me help me

[TequilaChaser]

He actually wrote & self published 3 books of poetry ( 4 books if you count the last one put together from his 1st book and 2nd book )

the Lords  notes on vision

The New Creatures

Ode to LA while thinking of Brian Jones, deceased


then the final republished work called   The Lords and  The New Creatures


and similar to what Masherbrum posted above...... the band ( The Doors ) hired professional boozers to keep tabs on Mr Mojorisin, but he was too much for them,


Johnny Depp narrarated a wonderful film about the Doors a few years ago...... When You're Strange ( is such an awesome song as well )

You might want to recalculate the years.   I can assure you that Brian May never ripped off Krieger.   Queen's primary influence was Led Zeppelin.

I didn't mention the more accessible stuff like "LA Woman" because that is the stuff that has been played to death to the point where it is no longer appealing.  That is probably the unknown main contention that most people have with the Doors...

Although they released six albums, when a classic rock DJ is told to play a Doors tune it more than likely will be "Light my Fire" "Roadhouse Blues" or "LA Woman".  The width and depth of their music cannot be appreciated with those three songs.

Yup...the first album I ever got was "Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine" (compilation) in the mid 70s'.....totally blew me away
