Which band should I cover for this series next? Just so y'all know, I prefer to cover a band that is no longer together. Also, don't forget to check out 12tone's video analyzing "People Are Strange:" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XQVjylcUH6k.html
The Police would be a great one because of their tight and solid catalogue and their interesting incorporation of reggae and later leading into a shift to more coloring but yet grotesque compositions of pop rock.
@@mattbeatgoeson And they only used to hire talented bands from live shows. Now they want to own the personality and the song writing. Individual creativity is not a positive selection criteria. They want fronts for the pulp they sell. Luv and Peace.
I used to be fascinated with Jim Morrison, the older I get, the more I find Ray was the real thing unique about the band. You didn't hear keyboard solos like that from any bands of the era and it gave the doors a very specific and unique feel. All of them are brilliant
Fun fact: Jim was drunk at a party and talked with Janis Joplin but by the end of the party due to him being very drunk and being a bit of a jerk he had a bottle smashed against his head by her.
why can't it be both lol? Robbie was the doors, this is the doors before Robbie Joined, that classic doors trance is from the drone bass line ray plays and Robbie's Dorian, Phrygian and mixolydian licks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T2rgruLoYew.html
@@mattbeatgoeson It was great! There was a lot of information here that I didn’t know like what happened in Europe with Jim on stage. Really solid video as always! ☺️
I was such a Morrison Head I fully expected to die at 27. I made a a masterful effort at doing so taking every drug under the sun as often as possible and ended up in Mental hospital at 23. A couple of years of various therapies (including ECT) and I wised up and started seeking life properly. I went back to Uni and got a good job. My mates took the piss when I turned 28 but I think they were as glad as I was... Luv and Peace.
What a year 1967 was for rock n roll and psychedelic music in this year we had Sgt pepper by the beatles and Pink Floyds debut piper at the gates of dawn and also The Doors self title debut and all of them are masterpieces havent watched this video yet but thanks for making this mr beat specially for a legendary band and one of my favourite singers of all time Jim Morrison Edit:Ok GuysI know I missed so many other albums dont fight over it 😅😅
Patti Smith apparently would go into record labels office and swipe food from press events. One time, she did this and found out she wasn’t alone in the room. It was Jim Morrison in the room alone watching her sneak around getting food. He told her “ Get a bunch of the meat pies. They’re delicious”
The Oliver Stone 1991 Doors film was actually THE SECOND resurgence in the band's popularity. The band had been launched back into public consciousness with the stunning opening sequence of 1979 movie Apocalypse Now, featuring the group's epic track, "The End." Consequently, in October 1980, Elektra Records released The Doors Greatest Hits. Compounded by this greatest hits release as well as the 1980 publication of Morrison biography, "No One Here Gets Out Alive," the Doors were suddenly one of the hottest acts of the year. In 1981, Rolling Stone magazine published a legendary issue of the magazine, featuring Morrison on the cover next to the provocative tag line, "He's hot, he's sexy, and he's dead."
I still think it's wild that Jim Morrison's dad was the commanding officer at the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. History is full of crazy little coincidences like that!
And so original, full of creativity and ideas. These days we get songs like WAP and Taylor Swift, who I probably would recognize but I don't know the title of....
I was an enormous Doors fan around age 12-13. I fell for the lizard king mystique of Morrison and thought the music was hypnotic and fascinating. I got over that but I think there's something special that happened with that band at that time in history.
The Doors sounded very Latin too. Krieger’s Spanish sounding guitars and Manzerik’s bass lines make this quite evident. No surprise that that sound came out of Southern California.
9:12 Fun Fact: The Doors’ singer bowl performance and the subsequent chaos that ensued served as the inspiration for the song Sally Simpson from Tommy, The Who’s 1969 Double Album Rock Opera.
It's so cool you made an in depth video on The Doors, Matt. As a musician personally myself, Jim Morrison's one of my very biggest sources of inspiration, lol. They were so ahead of their very time. The music in their anthology to me has such a relevant quality to it.
@jesusislight777 Yes, you're correct in many respects, but for me lots of different thematic points in their music focused more heavily on parts of individualism rather than just exclusively on both optimism as with community. That reduces their merits to nostalgia simplicity, in my opinion. The Doors particularly Morrison seemed to be far deeper than both, "smile and just be happy." Keep in mind, Jim Morrison wore leather pants, cowboy boots and used alcohol more than anything else which I know those're very rough generalizations (Doesn't make me in any way think less of him along with some of the more controversial events in his life), but still. I believe it'd be misplaced to look at him strictly through the hippie ascetic's lenses. So many bands of that era were mainly "feel good" Folk whereas they discussed some of the darkest topics knowable, lol. It was so empowering. Performing acts ought to experiment with challenging social norms as realistically as possible or at least to me, there's really no point to even cogel and record music.
Morrison Hotel was the first album I heard, on 8track. I never will understand why Blue Sunday is not recognized as one of their greatest songs ever recorded. Even after all these years I hear that song and I hear 4 artist at their best, the same way I feel when I hear the Rover by Zep or Golden Slumbers. I don't know maybe Strange but I have been a huge Doors fan for most my life and have been playing music most of my life. Infact I'm such a huge fan I have already made plans for Blue Sunday to be the only song played at my funeral.
I've always been a huge fan of Ray Manzarek and seeing a video like this really makes my day! Thank you Mr Beat and keep up the good work. I am looking forward to more music history videos
I was fortunate enough to buy an origianl copy of their self titled album a few yeaes ago. Definitely worth the price of $60. The vinyl lookee like it was varely used throughout its 67 years. It still plays beautifuly. Doesnt scratch, skip or repeat at all. In my opinion, this is their best album , change ny mind. Long live Jim and Ray
The Doors have been my favorite band since discovering them in 1993. I was 12 and in those days music club ads were at their peak. Ordered The Best of double disc of them. From the first section of Break on Through they had a fan for life. My generation loved this band. We were all born 5-15 years after they broke up and Morrison died. Just a timeless collection of true art. The BMG music club was the gateway for access to all those 60s and 70s music.
I feel jebaited by the title, was looking for something like the last few minutes of the video than a full history of their success and style and evolution of their music…
If you are a Doors junkie, the book No One Here Gets Out Alive is must read. It chronicles the Doors from beginning to th death of Jim. The movie is good, but Ray said the missing part was laughter. "It was the 60's, and everyone was laughing".
Back in 1992, I worked for a company which had an employee named--I am NOT kidding--Jim Morrison. Even after he left the company, it became a running joke there that, if a Doors song came up on a radio station, someone would say " Jim Morrison, dial the operator..."
I'm so glad I found this channel. I love the Doors, so I clicked. Then I heard your voice! I'm like "I know that voice." I looked at the name of the channel....clever! Thank's neighbor! LFK
one of the best music related channels on youtube, love your videos and the bands you picked so far and can't wait for the next ones(would love a video about the white stripes if possible)! keep up the amazing work!
Bad Click Bait! I thought I would learn how The Doors were somehow a transition band in rock music, instead I get a mini recap of The Doors music career by some guy doing a Seth Myers' impersonation.
they literally said the doors had a huge impact during the counterculture movement of the late 60's, mostly due to Morrison's rebelious nature and desire to do things differently. they also said how they incorporated elements of r&b, blues and jazz to their dark rock sound, making them stand out from other bands. someone didnt watch the end of the video...
@@cris-qd4wf That still doesn't answer the question. That just says what made The Doors good and interesting. Don't get me wrong - I loved the Doors growing up. But rock and roll didn't take a hard right turn just because of The Doors. And "huge" impact? Compared to Dylan, The Stones? Heck, you can look at a lot of seventies hard rock and draw a straight line back to Hendrix. Where do the Doors fit?
@@josa720 "thats what makes the Doors good and interesting" isnt that the same thing though? how can a band be influential if they arent good? i dont know why you felt the need to make a sudden unnecessary comparision, when i never mentioned those artists. considering that the "big bands" of that time were mostly English, the Doors helped to propel the american name of rock, they certainly didnt bring a setback
I really liked the Doors as a strapping young lad. And my eldest daughter fell in love with the Doors. I did my best to never discourage her from playing their music.
I did think it was an odd coincidence to see two videos about the Doors pop up in my RU-vid feed at exactly the same time. I thought maybe they dug up Jim's grave in Paris and I hadn't heard about it yet and now everybody's getting inspired to do Doors content?
Just read "Set the Night on Fire" by Robby Krieger, which is brilliant and sets the record straight on a number of Doors myths (largely propagated by Ray Manzarek and taken to a whole new fictional level by Oliver Stone). For example, he dismisses the claim that they were ever banned from the Whisky a Go Go. Anyway, highly recommended reading - truth is stranger than fiction and nearly always more interesting, especially when it comes to rock bands!
I also just finished "The Police Diaries" by Stewart Copeland - equally brilliant. Would be cool to see a fresh video about The Police and their unlikely origins (jazz meets prog meets punk meets reggae).
Because I'm someone who also loves and adores The Doors, this WAS A STELLAR VIDEO. I hope to one day make videos as good as this someday on my channel 😀 Great video dude! 😎👍🏾
I'm working on an episode about Janis Joplin right now. The crossover between her and the Doors is super fascinating. Can't wait to check this video out
As a kid growing up in the '60s, I heard The Doors on the radio but was too young to understand what they were about. Then I bought "Weird Scenes Inside The Gold Mine" in '72 and was hooked. I still have it in my collection. I think I bought it in Alexander's or maybe Sam Goody. Now get off my lawn!
I got sent over here from 12 Tone. As I mentioned over there, my favourite song is "Touch me", but I'm not sure about album. It's been a minute since I listened to them like that, you know, album by album. "LA Woman" is the one that springs to mind, but don't hold me too it! ps, also, I subbed. I took a look at your own back catalog, and there's a bunch of things I'm interested in, so...subbed! xD
Peace Frog and Texas Radio and the Big Beat. I have a vinyl of my father’s, “Weird Scenes inside the Goldmine”. A best of I think. These two are on it. I totally love The Doors and their style. Neither could have happened without the other.
I don't grok music theory. Not one iota. But I can't stop watching these videos. No matter what the pieces and parts are called, and no matter what they mean, seeing them isolated and called out greatly informs my ear (if not my brain). Fantastic audio editing, BTW. The best part? The drawn figures add a subtext that draws me in (so to speak), neatly bridging my ignorance of music theory without diminishing its importance.
Been waiting for this video for a while! The Doors are my favorite band! I think a video on Creedence Clearwater Revival would be really good! Love all your vids!
HELL MF YEAAA!!! John Densmore was one of my early influences for drumming! Would love a video on Deep Purple or Beck, Bogert, and Appice or even the Jeff Beck Group
Hey, Mr. Beat. You should definitely do a video on the brief history of Daft Punk! They were a DJ duo known for their songs like Around the World, One More Time, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Revolution 909, Get Lucky (feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers), and others. Can you please do a video on them?
Great Video, but the title is clickbait, a wrong promise, you’d expect a more detailed video about their influence on further music. And 2 minutes of it in a 20 minute Album, you see it yourself so you ?
