You don't often hear that sentiment - he downplays the spiral into decadence in the end of the 60's, and wants to call more attention to the positive middle-60s. I have always felt the same, and I am sad to know the positive spiritual energy that went to waste has never reemerged.
I ❤the story how jim morrison got a quarter out of his pocket and he didn't flip it and see if landed on head or tails instead he popped in his mouth and ate the quarter afterwards and he didn't want anybody to know what happened to it 😮
@DannyCruzz Underrated? How? He's got platinum albums, he's in the RnR hall of fame, a star on the walk of fame, portrayed in a major motion picture, oscar winning documentary, successful book career... Underrated? Hardly not!
John Gulino That's the truth....I just got done TELLIN someone else that...better late than never on my responding to u John..... 👍😎🤣🌬🌫 He did Jim proud and so did Jims father he came thru like a trooper in his sons defense HOORAY FOR JOHN AND THE ADMIRAL GEORGE MORRISON....... 🤗
Before Dennis Miller became brain dead and went all Right Wing. And half of this audience didn't even get what Densmore was doing and had no idea what he was referring to in "The End."
Josh Densmore is the Shit! really played from the Heart and Still has Great passion for what he Does REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY Underrated Drummer Really underrated.
to all the fuckers in here this guy's a fucking great drummer he's fast he's got knowledge on what he's doing and one of the greatest things about him is his dynamic range.Go listen to some doors, you 'll see for yourself
@GNWP67 Let's review....... I was actually paraphrasing John from about 2:50-2:55. So what are you on about? It helps if you really try and grasp the meaning and intention of someone else's words before commenting. This would help you would come off a little less of a um...."dumbtard". Not much, but a little is a big step up for you I imagine. Free tip: Go to Google and type in "define:paraphrasing".
This was painfully awkard to watch, holy shit. John Densmore can sue Robbie and Ray but he can do THIS shit? I read John's book, it has some interesting stuff in it when he's not bashing Jim and the Doors.
@DannyCruzz Well, he has been on the cover of Drummer Magazine. John creates his own bands from what I understand and rrely if ever "joins bands". He's outlived Moon and Bonham. He's in a class with Ringo Starr. Not bad for being underrated. He's a natural born drummer. Most drummers his age have had hip and tendon surgeries, foot surgeries. John manages to rise above the limelight of stardom. The Doors album remixes put him upfront. He's became individually famous in the past 10 years.
Filthy McNasty here's the deal...... NO RAY AND JIM CHANCE MEETING NO "DOORS" !! NOW PUT JOHN AND ROBBY TOGETHER WITH JIM AND RAY NOW UR FUCKING! RIOT MATERIAL..
Jim relished in making Densmore feel uncomfortable. Read Ray Manzarek's 'Light My Fire.' There are some funny excerpts where Ray discusses Jim's relationship w/ Densmore. Btw, I met Densmore once, and he was a nice guy when I met him.
I read Rays bio! Densmore is a great drummer! But It’s a little known fact that Jim wanted to replace him but Ray wouldn’t let him. Apparently he hated him for being too square! Compared to Jim he was too conservative. And Jim couldn’t stand him!
densmore very underated i love john he cared more about jim than anyone robbie was a sweetie but he couldnt say no 2 ray he loved jim 2 ray is a cool guy but he tries to run everything to pushy i think jim and him had the most problems i agree densmore didnt like the way jim was going the movie kinda sucked because it didnt really show much truth and pam jims common law wife girlfreind gets blamed for causing jims problems like densmore its true and it irks me when u hear that john is the best
it's a good book and the three were/are excellent musicians, but I feel somehow that they continued to live too much through Jim concerning the music they made; maybe less so Robbie. But maybe it's because of some kind of PTSD being in the band that only they could know about.
ebony ambassador as a resonant head!! thats what i do!! my setup: i use a 4" holz kit to make it a ported head, and make a ring of duct tape around the inner outside edge of it, to add some extra depth.... and use an aquarian superkick II with an aquarian kickpad, no tape. do that and you have a super deep, super short bass drum sound......... PERFECT for 32nd notes. careful cuttin the 2 plies though! ....you know in the event that im not the only extreme metal drummer here watchin densmore.
