Pam didn't die in early 71, that would be before Jim. I think she died in 74. Kennealy was a pit stop and never had an actual marriage It was some Wiccan thing in her living room. I can't believe she would think he took her seriously. And even acted accordingly. So cringe.
Let me apologize in advance but if the story you presented was true (which sounds like it came from Danny Sugerman's book), Pamela Courson has got to be the dumbest rock groupie in the history of rock. Only the naive would consider her more. She did not take care of him properly, too concerned wtih covering her tracks to keep her from making her look like a junkie, only to make it worse. If she had taken better care of him and payed less attention to her addiction, the French authorities would have never bungled it even further. What also made it even worse were the French authorities with a law so stupid that it rivaled Pam's stupidity at the time. Moral: You can shake a groupie tree but RARELY will you ever get a wife or husband out of it.
I hate groupies but I don’t hate Pam. She was little more than a child. She must have been hurting a lot and Jim was no angel. He screwed around behind her back many times. I like Jim and love the Doors but let’s not pretend he was wholesome!
L.A. woman album is elite. Love her madly? People love it Texas radio,The Wasp? Love it. The changeling? Classic 60s groove.! You need meat? People love it. King snake? Homage to the blues. Doors fans give it the ok. Orange county? Fans like it? Cars his by my window is far from their worst. Each fan has their own favorites,but with LA woman @ Riders this Album is more than solid in my opinion. Pam clearly did not like the doors,but the World loved the doors.
I seen Ray and Robbie in Chatham Ontario in 2012. I was late and showed up to a city echoing Break on through.. it was very surreal and felt like a movie. David Brock was singer and did an amazing job. I was screaming like a little girl. Being a huge Doors fan, I am very glad I caught that show before Ray died. Go see your favorite band before someone dies. Just seen the Cult. Another bucket list band. Awesome as well
Have you seen what that means looks like? Her whole existence after Jim died was she was the one Oliver Stone we as referring to. The witch Krieger would call her. She's a hot mess. She has the sex appeal of cancer. Ugh! Atrocious. Ugh I wanna puke.
Literally yesterday I searched for: "What happened to The Doors after Jim Morrison died." Today I searched for the same thing and you upload THIS. Wow! Thank you very much
Again Rothschild seems to have an axe to grind with the remaining Doors when it comes to American Prayer, a piece of work I love deeply. It wasn't supposed to be a Jim album, it was a Doors album, and they made a great attempt to get the best of that spoken word material out to be heard. Of course there's editing, but having read the prose it was based on, I think they did a good job. It wasn't cocktail music, the instrumentation was meant to be completely secondary to the words, unlike previous Doors recordings.
@@dundee12 nonsense. who would have listened to the words alone? Just die hard Jim Morrison fans. Personally i am a Doors fan and not a Jim Morrison fan. I think it's a magnificentt album. I even prefer it to Strange Days or Soft Parade
They called Rothschild " little Hitler" best thing hé left. La Woman is their best work back to being themselves as a garageband. Love her Marley is instant happy energy
I had someone offer me a ticket to Doors of the 21 Century at the Concord Pavillion in 2003. It was really exciting, I was a fan since buying the first record in 1970. Seeing Ray and Robbie was awesome and Ian Astbury did a great job sounding alot like Jim. It really felt like hearing the Doors, as close as possible. I'm very grateful to have heard them at that time. I'm sorry he left us too soon. Thanks for this history. Jim Morrison and the Doors forever. 🕉
Ian ,... Astbury ,.. could have performed the numbers in his own way.......... as an artist and all that... making his interpretations..... yet he decided to perform as an actor, doing his bit Jim Morrison style.........
Man this channel makes some great documentaries I get rock in general isn't super huge anymore but there still should be way more viewers on these documentaries the big rock channels have around 3 to 4 million and a average big channel has around 6 to 7 hundred k this channel should have at least half that and great documentaries like this about the door should be in the 100 k it's crazy no how small this is for how good it is
Why the same 5 photos on rotation? That detracts, big-time. Go back and edit and add photos of all the others. The French drug dealer. The "marriage" woman in New York. The studio engineer. All of them. There are lots and lots of photos surrounding Jim.
The doors are so authentic. This is such a great few hours of content to feed the void of losing Morrison and the doors so soon. Thank you for this amazing video!
The Doors as a four men band is the best. Jim without the others, or the others without him was just not good enough and wouldnt sell, only a poetry album with Jims voice only would have been bought by die hard fans. Other voices and full circel are only interesting because of the fact it has the name The Doors. It doesn't come any close to their earlier succes. They needed each other. There is a version of Orange country suite recorder in Paris, Jim with a No No on guitar, it sounds horrible.... Jim became that big because of the band, and the band because of Jim greetings from the Netherlands everyone ❤️
I just want to say 'hello, I love you' all the Doors fans, especially Jim Morrison's fans. I find it very nice and calming to read his loyal fans' comments (I said loyal). Stay well out there, friends, and don't ever forget to just be yourself, especially nowdays. Do not let others dictate your life and how you ought to be. Please stay true to yourself, no matter what, because at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Be kind and gentle to yourself. By the way, this is a spiritual message from our one and only, Jim Morrison. Let's keep his legacy alive by staying true to ourselves ♥️♥️♥️
I’m 41. Morrison was long dead by the time I was born. I’ll be taking a trip to L.A. this fall with my wife and the whiskey a gogo is my number one stop. I want to watch a mediocre band, have a drink and reflect on how THIS is the spot one of the best bands in American history got it’s start.
Like or dislike the doors.there was nothing like the doors music.sound and lyrics.going on before or after them.arguably one of the most frighteningly talented original bands that ever existed.
Thirteen minutes in, Rothschild says he was walking out in disgust on them. But then he says, if Jim were still alive, he would be making poetry records with him. Rothschild is wrong about that. When he left them in that studio, his run with ALL of them was DONE. There was no way they were ever gonna do another album with him, no matter what he says. They did indeed go on to create a final 6th album with Jim, and it is truly a fantastic album because they went back to the blues with it. But Rothschild totally over estimates his role with the band. He was just the producer, and one who left.
Exactly, even if you have a pension, when you die it does not carry over to your children. Why the Courson family was entittled to anything is baffiling.
@@me67226probably because he was estranged from his family. She did not deserve it. Useless person that was the reason he died. She was guilt ridden for the last three years of her life because she knew he snorted her heroin.
It's great that Jim's heirs have preserved his writings and other works. I know his sister released a collection of Jim's work a couple years ago which is great. The more of Jim's work in all forms available to fans the better imo.
The Doors were conceited self centered musicians, that were too in love with themselves to realize that none of them could sing. There are so many bands that live in illusion. They needed to either disband, be an instrumental act , or find a worthy replacement for Jim Morrison. Millions of people have mastered musical instruments, but only a few have what it takes to be a successful charismatic frontman - Frontwoman . To have a unique, but melodic Voice, and a connection between the fans , and the band
@@desertrose1226 I think that you missed the point that I was trying to make. No matter how skilled that they were at their instruments it simply wasn't worthy to compensate for Mr Krieger's , and especially Mr Manzarek's serious lack of Vocal skills . Yes they were good with Morrison, but without someone that can actually sing they suck.
Outside of Jim Robby is the only musician that had what it took to be successful outside of the Doors. Although I love Rays addition to the Doors sound. Not using a bass guitar and instead an organ gives the Doors their iconic sound
I saw Krieger tour with his nephew and some other relatives under the "The Robby Krieger Band" in the 1990's. It was a fucking great show and wonderful to see the master at work. Glad I went. The man's guitar playing is highly underrated.
I saw Krieger and his son Waylon play in Clearwater,Florida in late 99 or early 2000's.Man what a show he song ever song also.sound like Bob Dylan LOL.But the way he played that guitar never to this day have I seen someone play like that.He even played the pulp fiction theme song.It was worth every penny and more.The only reason he would have played such a small show is because he did not play with jim are the doors!!!!
Everyone seems to miss that Morrison had this huge prison sentence hanging over his head. France has a non-extradition treaty ( Roman Polanski). If he had lived the future of The Doors would have been determined by that outcome.
6 months is jail time, not hard labor and definitely not huge! You have to be sentenced to at least a year and a day before you're sent upriver - prison! Jim would have been out in 3-4 months and spent most of his time in protective custody in his own cell at the Dade County Jail, where he would have had plenty of time to write and think and have visitation. Easy time, actually! For all his bravado and no fear and habit of pushing the limits - at least according to everything I've read and watched, I find it hard to believe he would be so chicken-shit about a short-ass jail sentence! Maybe that crazy side of him was all an act that reared its head only when he was drunk! Very confusing and contradictory for me, especially because I do believe his arrest was the beginning of the end, and I do believe he was scared of going to jail like you allude to.
Wow. I loved this. I love the Doors! They were like a dysfunctional family, but in the the end they love one another. Great storytelling! Keep it up. Long live Rock and Roll!
Legends never died. Jim and Ray the heart and soul of the Doors. God bless all the Doors members and everyone pray for you every day❤❤❤❤❤in Jezus name amen ❤❤❤❤❤
In the mid-1990s and the early days of the internet, being a Doors fan and having a few connections, I received a stash of Jim Morrison's unpublished poems from his time in Paris. I had set up a fan web page for Jim and published those poems. Back then, it was safe to publish contact information, even a phone number to be reached at. The web page was up for six months. One night around 11 p.m., I received a phone call. The voice on the other end was an older male, and the voice was someone who had smoked way too many cigarettes in his day. He said he was a fellow Doors fan and really 'dug' Morrison and the poetry. We struck up an hour-long conversation on Jim, the Doors history, Jim's favorite authors, the philosophy of the 1960s, etc. Topic to topic. The conversation was good, deep intellectual, and so we shot the breeze well into dawn. It didn't take long until I knew who I was talking to, but I did not press the issue. Just talking to the guy was a pleasure and an honor. It was around 5:30 a.m., with dawn breaking on the horizon. When he kindly asked me, “Would you have contact information on the person who had provided me the poems? “I thought they would have been long gone by now. I'd love to get in touch.” And so I did. The person I spoke to absolutely does not want fame, recognition, or being in the limelight. He enjoys being just an average Joe. He seemed happy and in good spirits, and the singing voice (if that was truly him) is long gone, replaced with a smoker's voice. He had a rough life and spoke fondly of retiring from a factory job. “Now that I'm old, I would really like to reconnect and chat about the old days. Can you help me out? I'd appreciate it.” I have no proof or evidence of who I talked to. I'm just relating a story that actually happened. I leave it up to people to decide for themselves. I will only say. As Doors Fan as Morrison Fan. I am completely convinced of who I spoke to that night. He even said it several times in that conversation. “Have you ever seen the movie Eddie and the Cruisers? Good flick.” Which was really odd because, by 1994, that movie was rather obscure.
PS.. Pam had cheated on Morrison several times while in Paris. Apart of the reason for Morrison and Pam going to Paris 'the city of love' was to mend their relationship. That failed. They had many massive fights. (that recoreded by several sources) It was the 'the straw that broke the camels (relationship) back. The relationship was OVER. That's why Pamela was walking wreak the rest of her days.
So Jim is not dead? I am open minded about this and a part of me believes he did walk away from everything that day in July 71. If you did really talk to him, then that’s really something to cherish.
hmmm. interesting, but how can we be sure we can trust you. strangely, I do. his fame and the superficial nature of the ‘business’ was a burden on his shoulders that’s for sure. how did he manage to have a place at that famous cemetery though? it’s not that easy if you’re not actually dead, I suppose.
@@IvanPolyansky I'm just relating an experience that happened to me, and I'll never forget. I'm not seeking fame, glory or such from it. I have no proof that would satisfy any skeptic. Nor am I asking anyone to believe me. I'm just saying this happened to me, that's all. I will say if a man had a reason to fake his own death. Jim Morrison had several. One Morrison carried the guilt of his Father's deeds. In that, Admiral George Stephen Morrison took part in the greatest “False Flag” in history, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that escalated the Vietnam War Conflict that sent some 56,000 American kids to their death. Imagine carrying that guilt every day. That your Father caused the death of 10s of thousands. Two Morrison was approaching his 30s (Mid Life Crises) and Jim knew he couldn't be the centerfold of “Teen Beat” Magazine forever. His beer gut and balding hair told him that. And what had he REALLY accomplished in life? Rock star? The Lizard King? Meaningless. Three “The Doors” had hit the creative dead end the 'light' had gone out and the four of them couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other. Meanwhile, Elektra Records and Rothchild were beating down upon them like a sledgehammer to produce! Produce! Produce!!! Four Jim had a serious substance abuse problem and wasting away, even he knew he couldn't last any longer if things remained the same. Five. Pamela was no help, being a serious junkie and more promiscuous than that of a alley cat. The Trip to Paris was a last ditch effort at their relationship, and it was failing. Six, Jim was looking at serious jail time and press swamped trial over the Miami Incident. More than enough, ample reason to fake your own death, don't you think? I will say that guy on the other end of that phone. Was very happy living in obscurity. Not being recognized as he strolled the streets with his grandchildren sharing ice cream cones. After retiring cozy from a factory and before that years at sea, not to stay in once place to long as he aged. He got to see the entire world, and life aboard ship gave him ample time to write and publish under his pen name. And he did not miss at all the life he left behind in LA only a few old time friends. “Did you see what the fans did to that gravestone in Père Lachaise Cemetery? They tore it apart. Better it than me.”
Whoever has the masters of Other Voices and Full Circle can now use AI to add Morrison's vocals to the tracks and reissue the album. I firmly believe the albums would go Gold and very likely Platinum in a very short time.
While this is a fine documentary about the last days and death of Jim Morrison, there's not much of what the title led me to expect. Where's the discussion of the making and contents of Other Voices and Full Circle, and the tours the surviving Doors undertook around that time? Where's the discussion of the efforts to replace Morrison? I remember in Rolling Stone's article at the time, they reported that as soon as Morrison's death became known, the Doors started getting calls along the lines of "I've got a singer, looks like Jagger, sounds like Morrison. Want him?" (Could that have been Iggy?)
@Michael P. Dawson I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! There's not much to say about 'Other Voices' & 'Full Circle'. *It was inferior product.* And, the reason(s) were right there in the previous albums. Other than Robbie's songs and a few breaks & intro's from Ray & Paul; The words/music/bridges/arrangement were all *'Jimbo'!* Someone commented elsewhere that Krieger was the only other piece that was _'indispensable'._ I could agree with that. Lee Michaels/Booker T. Jones/Jon Lord/& several others could have done Ray's part. Drummers? I dunno. (John's unique style[s] seemed to elevate the songs) The _'post-mortem'_ auditions are well known. Iggy actually gigged with them for a 'one-off' concert. (The Whiskey, I think) This part of Doors history only becomes _'foggy'_ when following the _'tales'_ of Manzarek, Hopkins, & certain other 'Vested-Interests'. *Morrison Rocked!* *Krieger was underrated!* Peace. (for Ukraine) Stay Healthy! - Dave B.
As a teen in the '80's my best friend was born the day Hendrix died, I was born the day they secretly put Morrison in the ground, & he lived on the street one house over connected 2 my street-Joplin Dr.! No shit!😅
I'm just saying from my experience I'm Gen x 90s teem and man lol the people I new always put the doors over the Beatles and stones in the 90s the doors seemed like they were just as big as the living bands like pearl jam there were honestly a great rip off band they were just awesome technically great and in the 90s pretty big band called the Boston tea party total rip of the doors and jim yet they were great and big that's how big the doors were in the 90s they had to be the most listened to 60s band in that decade could because of that movie but honestly people just considered the doors more real then the others and in the 90s earlier 90s being real with substance was a huge deal
I was expecting a lot more on Other Voices and the final Doors album, not a massively long description of Morrison's final weeks. There's virtually no "after" here.
Man do i love these. Other ones too. Get a few like clips, some toots and bells and whistles for aesthetics, and this is great. I believe the OD story. The fact they were so sneaky to get Jim buried in the cemetery in France makes me believe so. Everyone after died was out for themselves. They didnt want the truth out. Heroin is no joke. I used and abused it after losing my leg after getting shot, the painkillers were opoid based so over time it takes way more to do the same. With the connections they had, one night you can get it all cut up, the next night you might have a new player in town, wanting a name for themselves so they keep it more pure and they probably didn't cut it. You can do one line between four people and all four of you OD. That's part of the lifestyle. It gives me goosebumps and makes me just about cry he died over something he didn't reslly even like. The booze didn't like kill him. The Oliver Stone movie everyone goes by is 45% fluff. Sad.
After Jim Morrison's passing, the three remaining Doors continued to record and tour. For their North American and European tours they recruited two musicians to help fill the void left by Morrison; Jack Conrad on bass and Bobby Ray Henson on rhythm guitar, percussion and backing vocals. Henson had worked as a session musician for several artists, most notably with Donovan on his "Sunshine Superman" album. He also was in an obscure band called "Thorinshield" that has achieved a cult following. There is a short documentary of that band here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fj1cgLTmGR0.html His story and involvement with the Doors can be seen starting at 9:50
Well, the fact is Jim Morrison was the Doors. It is kind of an odd history though, The Band rose to stardom really fast, amazingly fast. Hank Williams plodded around in S Alabama honky tonks for over ten years before "making it". Probably the depth of Morrison's lyrics aided thru lots of successful acid trips likely speeded up the apprenticeship. For me, the big three were "The Doors", "Pink Floyd" ( The Ummagamma rendition) and Hendrix. There were some close 2nds such as "The Who" "The Stones" and go from there
On the police report at the time of his death. Pamela Courson said that she was his friend!!!! Apparently, according to French freinds they were not a couple. Pamela would turn up when she wanted money. Jim apparently was going to leave Pam for good. He asked her for the piece of paper that he wrote is will on. She was also seen frantically burning pieces of paper right after he died. Apparently she was a very sneaky person.
Nah this was planned. Pam went over first to secure the apartment with plans to join her after recording was complete. He planned to be in Paris with her. Also you really think if Pam asked.jim for his will he would simply comply if he was leaving her for good? Even Ray, Robbie, John and other friends knew about him sending her to Paris and joining her.
@@birdiedog5Pamela was pursuing the French Count and needed Jim for money. Jim was pursuing Pamela. In France friends said they seemed to live separate lives. That’s why he got depressed and was lonely. Pamela would come and go. Have you watched the French sub titled documentary? There is the truth. He died in the club. Pamela and others were alerted to collect his body from the Club. They then put him in the bath. Pamela phoned her French Count first! He probably told her to get rid of evidence. Listen to the last song he sang about Pam. It’s sad. Please listen to the French documentary again. I feel Pamela was getting bored with Jim and he realised it. So sad. 😊
This guy needs to quit putting out stories if you did not do all your research don't say anything at all it horrible to sit and listen to this guy.Pam was his common law wife he always referred to her as his wife that is all that matters go find another group and pass on your new culture thoughts to see how far you get people will just believe anything in this new woke world. The movie did not portray Jim correctly at all. It upset Ray extremely so stop and let Jim finally R I P he deserves it he gave us so much with his music Jim with the instruments made the Doors no one else can replace the Doors sound. They have to pick a new name it would not be fair in any way!!!!! Move On!!!!
The Doors died when Jim died. Jim approached Ray on the beach with some lyrics he wrote they went to collage together Ray was good with putting a and together got money for an organ they found the other two guys to play with them.Jim found the name Doors they respectfully should have retired the name Doors it wasn't Jim came up with the name the other guys should have picked a new name they were no longer the Doors!!!!!!!!!!
@@d00rs71 No offence but you are talking about something you clearly know nothing about, read, listen and perhaps you're comments will be welcome but you are just chatting bollox so far. 👍
correct but the drugs he died from where for her again a bad influence jim was a drunk but didnt do herion he died at the Rock and Roll Circus getting stuff for her she hated the doors she wanted him to do more poetry and less doors so iv been studding the doors for 30 yrs so nothing u can tell me@@DaveSCameron
Jim Morrison was never married to Patricia Kennealy. They had a pagan marriage ceremony when Jim was high. The reason they never 'divorced' is that they were never married. How can you have gotten that so badly wrong?
Who cares anymore. He died of a drug overdose in a bathroom stall. Heroine , he was a drunk and a mess. And when I do listen to the music lately the lyrics sounds stupid.
Doors of the 21st Century was horrible. I saw them in LA County Fair grounds. I left pissed off. It was a total ego fest for Ray. Ian didn't cut it. The only redeeming thing about that night was seeing Robbie play.
Wandering through a graveyard the sky is clear not ominous. The visit to the graveyard was on the only sunny day of the trip. It rained every other day. See for yourself, Jim filmed it on 8mm film which is on youtube.
Always the problem with docs like this, instead of hearing from the musicians themselves, we get "others" speaking for them. _Am I getting the facts, or just someone's biased opinion about the facts?_
❤️ Excellent presentation. Marianne Faithful said some interesting things about Jim Morrison's death... Different accounts lost in the mists of history and time. I'm pretty pretty sure I read an interview by Marianne Faithful saying that she was present for the events of Jim's death. Something about her, the count, the manager and a bouncer from the club, carrying Jim's comotose body into the apartment, and putting him in the bathtub, with cold water, attempting to revive him from accidentally snorting heroin instead of coke. I don't know. Just something I read.
☠️🏴☠️Ditto, I too read this! But the different version was Jimbo🦎👑had overdosed from high~potency Heroin, that was flooding the streets of Paris at the time of. The night before at a Rock Club…The Rock~n~Roll Circus NightClub. Found unconscious in the restroom, He was taken to a home of a man who had driven the messed~up Jimbo🦎👑to his buddies home, where he DID make it through the night. Only succumbing to his death the very next day. WHO knows what REALLY happened that early~hot dreadful morning of July 3, 1971….Pamela Courson HAD to know what really happened to Jim’🦎👑 in those last day’s, of his short life. James Douglas Morrison was dead; the new’s took day’s to hit The US! After a small intimate ceremony; Jim was laid to rest. It was a coverup. After this, it was learned, that James D Morrison was gone. Also The Count & Jim’s UCLA friend, Alain Romay most likely knew the true circumstances surrounding The Doors beloved Frontman, Jim Morrison’🦎👑 death. Rest In Power James Douglas Morrison 🦎👑
@ 1:06:00 mark, you say Jim read about the death of Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick? How can that be when she died in November of 1971, 4 months AFTER Jim Morrison?
🖖🏻🌹💧 Forever thankful for new perspectives besides my falling apart specimen of " Noone here gets out alive" by Hopkins and Sugarman 📓 Best read Jim's own " The American Night"...opening doors.( published in 1991). Fine interview with Robby Krieger🎸📝 of The Doors by Steve Jones 🎧 📻 2020 here on RU-vid . Jim Morrison 's 80 th birthday will be celebrated on the 8th of December 2023 🍃🌹🌿
Eddie Vedder is one of the few vocalists on par with Jim Morrison?? John Densmore obviously has no clue (and tin ears) and Ian Astbury absolutely was the best by far of anyone I have heard try to fir in those leather pants.
This was a brilliantly researched and presented documentary, and maybe the best of its kind on JDM. You captured some of the sadness of his last weeks, and filled in lots of details I had either never read before, or forgotten. His was the greatest tragedy/drama story in rock history. 5 stars, great job! RIP Jim & Ray.
Great narrated Documentary outstanding service to everyone who is a Doors and a Jim Morrison fan. Good job and thank you it answered a few questions I had about the final days of Jim and pam .and the other Doors members.
No One Gets Out Alive is an incredible piece of writing. It changed my life for the better....I was no longer shy and became way more outgoing. I would recommend reading it.
Remember reading Danny's memoirs of The Doors ago. I dont always like the excerts in such books where the scenes become fictionalised, and it begs the question to the author, Danny Sugarman in this case, 'Were you there?' But the thing is Danny was actually present as he worked in The Doors office... Still very much worth a read,as it succeds in embellishing Jim's legend and mythology if anything else...
@@stephaneherringtoniowritin4986 Yeah- my friend read it...and he said, it will change you. It did - we both became more outgoing. I don't know why..but it did. But yeah the fact, that Sugarman was there certainly makes a difference.
There’s an actress named Charlotte Stewart who had an affair with Jim shortly before he left for Paris. She claims Jim told her that he had an enlarged heart due to a childhood illness. This could’ve been a contributing factor or even the sole cause of Jim’s death. I remember one of his friends in Paris saying that Jim could only walk a short distance without having to sit for several minutes.
Robby Krieger in his book speculated that Jim had some (possibly inborn) medical condition. Also, I’ve recently looked up his vedic astrology chart and sure enough he’s got Mars residing in and damaging the 4th house, that sector represents the chest/lungs area.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise to see this. I had no clue something like this was out there. Great job on this. I found so many things intriguing. I'm sold on the OD in Paris. It makes so much sense.
When Jim left for Paris the band asked him to sign a legal agreement stating he wouldn't perform doors songs or use the doors name. They also auditioned singers before he died. Neither of these events are ever mentioned by the band or the estate
@@markwinslow2449 I can assure you it is. I've been obsessed with the doors for over twenty years and I've spoken to a lot of people. This has all been confirmed by people on the doors inner circle and management at the time. One of The singers they auditioned is the guy that ended up with Robby in the butts band.
@@markwinslow2449 I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *It's true!* A newly cleaned-up *Iggy Pop* was one of the many singers auditioned. He actually did a gig with them in 1976. (The Whiskey, I think?) Ray never mentioned it afterward. (Note: I refer to _'after-death'_ auditions.) *re: RAY:* I would NOT follow Manzarek's _post-'Apocalypse Now'_ narrative too close for anything! (loss of cred) *re: ROBBIE:* Krieger didn't jump on the _'whitewash'_ Legacy scam. (like Ray) But, he has made contradictory statements over the years as well. Hopkins & others with a *Vested-Interest'* have done the same. *re: JOHN:* Densmore is the only 'insider' who has NEVER changed his story. Peace. (for Ukraine) Stay Healthy! - Dave B.
I was unaware that other singers had been auditioned, although it doesn't surprise me. They were having to face the very real probability that their golden goose had flown the coop. They knew he wasn't into live shows anymore. It's the same lack of loyalty that made him leave them.
very good job!The doors is still one of my favorite bands.most of the details of his death are very accurate and compiled together make it a very interesting hearing.something was very wrong the day he died,and sadly,almost all of the witnesses or parts of his last days are gone.thanks.
