The Doors "Been Down So Long (Alternate Version)" 

You cannot petition the lord with prayer, you cannot replace jim morrison

There was nothing fake about him.. he just let it roll... nothing like getting your freak on and getting PAID!

Same goes for the rest of the band, most people focus on Jim but in my eyes each member of the band were equally gifted, they were one of a kind, immaculate some may say, one of my favourites bands of all time and the first I turn when I feel low, their time together was short lived but the quality and quantity of what they created during that time was astonishing and totally unique and will never be equalled, Jim was the Lizard King but could only do anything with the Doors behind him... Gotta run, got my SG and Robby trying to teach me, no matter how much I try even with the man himself can't recreate Mr Krieger feel

It,s very good album

@@mikalouhema1590 yes I've owned it for 40 years

YES!!!!!

Do it again 🙂

So underrated and he's still touring!

the band of geniuses

Underrated by who

Born in 55 and remember hearing Ray Charles laying on the floor of my dads 56 Pontiac Star Chief and we were bothsinging "Hit the Road Jack" with Ray such fun times and then in 67 at age 12 The Doors Lp the first Record i paid for and i was off.. Long Live the Doors

I'm 59 and I feel you. I remember it all even as a child hearing these tunes in the car.

Doing LSD for the next couple weeks,,discovering this is,,gonna add a few more weeks 😮

Absolutely! In fact, there was a huge resurgence of interest in the Doors in the late 70's and early 80's. Ray Manzarek then said Jim was way ahead of his time...and he still is!

Yes sorry lm no engliesh

I’d say they already did and are currently easing right on into 2022, there music is timeless.

@@mitchelllambaiso9746 absolutely! Always will be! I can thank Jim, and the Doors for easing me out of bereavement! Music really is my special friend! Can't forget Ian Astbury or the Cult of course! Considering Ian fronted the Doors for 150 shows!

@@raymondsearch5289 much of the band’s music still sounds brand new!

Richard Langford one of those guys who can just muck around and get straight into it. Legend

The Jews ? Lol

Dig it.

Supposedly, Jimbo🦎👑was a funny guy!! Long live The LEGEND ❣️The LIZARD KING❤️‍🔥

Just the serendipity. Of them getting together 🕸🌤💕💕

+edna fuson I know man! nobody Usually are able to do that these days! long live the el rey lagarto!

edna fuson Exactly what does the Term Like A Boss mean ??? cuz I'm old and it doesn't make sense to me junior 👕

edna fuson so amazing!

Dirty Whiteboy doing things your own way;taking charge...look up "like a boss"-lonely island

Dirty Whiteboy @ 50 I'm considered old, too. I gathered it's from the hysterical song from "Lonely Island." You're never too old to stop knowing what's going on. There's still some great things happening, despite all of our society's insanity. PEACE!

Fits todays enviroment. His music is timeless, tone is rock in a pure but "doors only" melody. A gift to the listeners

Jim Morrison thé greatest star in music history

@Black Sabbath Matters ... all gone Too Soon. 👍!!

I'm 53 y/o now. I had a life size poster of Jim that completely covered my closet door when I was fifteen. I visited his grave in Paris in the early 90s. Me and my wife at the time got kicked out of the cemetery by security for openly drinking wine in the cemetery. I had a glass of red wine at his grave site. Yeah! It was his spirit......

​@@rolex3560fantastic! Hope i do the same some day 😁🤘🙋🏻‍♂️

are you Joes bro ?

until seeing it typed out, i never understood the line... I thought "up to me", meant its on him to solve something.. .but he really meant, "down looks like up", because he's been experiencing it for so long.

Classic blues line

Thanks dude........

Laughable when it's coming from a California rich-kid.

F**King GREAT. ! :)

I've wondered and wondered if that was slide guitar...it's not in the credits that it is...

' Gets your knee tapping ' ?

My favorite Doors tune right here!!

James Chase catch hell blues - white stripes

I think the same

Oh yea. Love love him

yeah i agree ,so raw too...

This is the real deal blues.

Kit Potamkin that's a lap steel though

@@neilbell5296 That's still sliding!

@@neilbell5296 that is called electric slide guitar genius.

Robby Krieger is the most underrated guitarists of all time. So versatile, so many textures...and always spot on!

He's a wildly underrated guitarist.

oh man........ that's a fucking awesome comment.... we will never forget him....

Haha. Been an inspiration to me for almost 30 years

@Patriot America Jg so is corona virus!

Fucking awsome mitigat

Right on, Jim. Pretty good, pretty neat.

Jim Morrison was the doors, but the whole band is absolutely amazing 😮

Love that!! 😎👊👏👍

Must be the guilt from the role he was playing to distract society whilst his dad was responsible for millions of people dying! Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon. Read this book. Then read about the gulf of Tonkin incident - and not the wiki state sponsored version lol 😂

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

As a Deadhead, ever hear their cover in 66 when they were still just a primitive psychedelic bar band? There's one or two recorded versions, circa Nov/Dec 66. It's a happy little tune in their approach. Much different lyrically, as all these old blues songs were depending on who did them.

GDF

Great points!! Great band!! Manzerek sort of set them apart from other bands too. (I think he is on keys and some songs are centered around that keyboard) I can say as an artist, an always starving one however, that creating art is essential to any chance of climbing from that depression (as you say) or frustration of words failing us. All too often words pale to ideas. Jim M was not starving by The End (pun very intended lol) but obviously always frustrated. Lucky us. 🫤 Too bad we didn’t get another decade or more of his genius.

😅😅😅😅😅😂

icyhotmike true DAT brother...

icyhotmike barely, I love it but every person my age listens to the shitty new rap

Not such a fan, much prefer waiting for the sun personally.

Word

Christian Sickler ...that's their loss, must be tRUMPERS✌️

Indeed.

Living in my head since a classmate gave me a Copy of "No One Here Gets Out Alive" back in '83? '84??

Still born 1984 and lovin this band.❤️

@@Gutave same. the eerie feelings I still get when I hear any of their great tracks. like this one.

me too - a good feeling bin there

Went there in 1989. Lots of moody French people dressed in black wearing shades. The headstone had gone. Also went to the flat, guess I should have taken a snap. That was my high point in Paris.

running free what did you expect?

The Doors had the best musicians of any 60's band in my opinion.

Do it, Robby, do it!

With a little help from Marc Benno on the second guitar.

Hired Elvis's OKd Bass player to play on it, & that just thrilled tga hell outta Jim!! Whenever I'm down, I listen to this & Hank3 Lowdown!!

No they were at the right time at the right place, in all the hearts, souls, minds of us children of the 60's and early 70's. You cannot petition the lord with prayer,

I am also wondering where this "ahead of their time" is coming from...

It makes me tear up to know this was the end.

Or by 1975 or 1983

Other voices, Full Circle & American Prayer, I guess...

Ok

Carmine Annunziat0 Couldn't have described him better.

@@Johnconno at least he'll be remembered forever. Unlike you, no one will even remember you after you die. Ain't that sad? :(

@@Johnconno like all of us one day.

cooll

kick AZZ - 😜

Totally agree.

Quad sound system worked well

You're welcome, pixel pixel, and thanks for the kind words!

Yup. As music should truly sound without production f**eries

I just lit up a butt and drank some Tennessee shine. Keep rocking.

@@kenrex1126 Good timing. I'm doin the same .. 🍺🍺🍻

That's over rated... Much better to have the good days now.

@@richardstechrichardstech9110 but when you old and tired it's never going to be as good as it was

zer0 95 Makes me wanna kick the dust up polish off a couple bottles and start a fight with my reflection

me too. Jim was soo fuckin sexy!!

He is alive

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Jim developed a love for old blues and simple rock by 1970 and beyond.

Yes

And his belch at the Hollywood Bowl concert in between songs. Hahaha

Caroline Bond He was...😵

Alcool and cigarettes...

Booze

Fuckin a

Amen

One of my favorite lines from Mr Mojo

Agree. Morrison Hotel is great too.

you right.. Jim Morrison would have been a legendary blues vocalist by now..

I think howlin wolf would have liked his music maybe not him as a person though. the wolf was usually sober

A cafe next to a cemetery? Only in France.

No body in the grave though so you wasted your time!

I feel that brother

Adam Benigni Me too Adam......me too.

Amen

If Ozzy or Keith Richards died in his age, now people would be saying that it couldn't end in any other way with their lifestyle

joe berko amen

justmadeit2 head up man. It's only up from here.

Ryan Mckay Thanks. I hope so

Good music is always good for the soul.

justmadeit2; Appreciate your honesty.....you know you're not alone.........

All of us.

Poor white boys always can...

Yep, some lucky white guys can actually really play the blues, but not many

If Morrison had lived, I'm confident they would've done more blues based rock.

enough of the stupid "white boy" comments

yeah, you too, stop with the stupid "white boy" comments

Only eclipsed by the Beatles

​@Scott Harrison the Beatles are ass hell no

+D Thomas john bonham and jimi hendrix too!

Shanon hoon Kurt Winehouse ....

Alan wilson

this is the other side..

ana talavera yes, the blind owl is worthy of that list as well.

David Allen

Did you know that Jim, who did read or write musical notes would simply tell John what was in his head and bam MAGIC a song.
