THE DOORS Break On Through Reaction!! 

These guys were groundbreaking innovators. This stuff is 52 yrs old

it really upsets me that y’all have no clue about the legend that is Jim Morrison and The Doors. Legendary and timeless.

Dated? It's called timeless Sori.

The Doors!! This songs shows how well Jim Morrison was musically referenced. This song is from 1967 and has clear influences of Bossa Nova which began in Brazil around 1962 but that only became famous worldwide in the 70's! Please guys, keep doing! “LA Woman” is a master piece

R.I.P. Jim Morrison :'(

The Bossa Nova beat is killer. Watching millennials try to understand The Doors is hilarious.

Ok, not to be a pedantic arse.. but I just have to say it. You always talk about DMT, but what you are really thinking about is LSD. Two completely different chemicals. DMT/ayahuasca is a completely reality-replacing experience that didn't really get widespread until the last 10-20 years. What you are describing all the time, and what these artists are singing about, is the domain of LSD, mushrooms and peyote. That is what changed society in the 60's. DMT is something else entirely. Coming from your level of knowledge on the subject you would probably think "Ahh, semantics. It's all drugs." It's honestly not, it's seriously different. A LSD trip lasts up to 10-12 hours, DMT lasts for 15 minutes.

To understand the doors you must try to understand Jim Morrison. Lyrical analysis with this band is nearly pointless

I dont think I've ever laughed so hard at a reaction video before! Watching you trying to reduce Jim Morrison's lyrics to mundane trivialities was hysterical. Morrison was a poet for the ages - each word carefully placed and calculated to have a myriad of meanings. You get him or you don't. You didn't. It's not your fault.

this reaction just makes you both seem very dense. that you couldn't enjoy this.. it's bad ass and fun as hell. his voice is so powerful and raucous.. this was a huge deal for a first song. it's talking about breaking out and through on to the other side of enlightment. the doors are based on a book called the doors of perception . pretty much if you'd open the doors of perception the veil would be dropped and you'd see that we are all one with everything and we are infinite.

As a hispanic speaker, I found beautiful the next verse: "I found an island in your arms, Country in your eyes, Arms that chain, Eyes that lie"

This song is about breaking through the "doors of perception"- what you see and think to be real, and what really is real- to the "other side", the side of life and everything you've never seen before. This means different things to different people. The gateway could be sex, drugs, or music, or just a personal revelation you have, but at some point in our lives, we have to "break on through to the other side" and find our own version of the truth in life.

Listen to Riders on the Storm by the Doors.

The look on your guys faces is priceless! You have no idea what this song is about. Jim Morrison wrote so many great songs. Unfortunately the drugs and alcohol got the best of him. They made a movie about the Doors with Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan. Great reaction!!

"I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that seems to have no meaning." ~Jim Morrison

Put the bible down, pick up Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley. BTW, any reference to getting high was risky, even in 1967. The 'getting high" vocals on the track was recently included during the remastering process, it was not to be heard on their albums prior to remastering. Also, during their performance on Ed Sullivan in 1967, the band was urged to change a lyric in Light my Fire, "better" instead of "higher". The band agreed, but Jim kept the word "higher" in the performance. This led to the band being banned from performing on the Ed Sullivan show again. The Ed Sullivan Show did manage to get the Rolling Stones to change the lyrics in their performance of Let's Spend the Night Together.

The song (and the name of the band) Comes from Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception" (1954) And about his thoughts on philosophy while experimenting with psychedelics.

You should listen to Back Door Man by The Doors, I can picture a hilarious reaction and conversation afterwards.

Omg yes!! Another Doors review 😁😁😁 It's been (in Vin voice) "quite some time!" since the last Doors review. Defintely looking forward to this 😊 - - - Holy crap at the shoutout to Solomon Kane! Haven't heard his name since the first Watain review!! 😲😲😲

I’m thirteen and have a better musical taste than both of you combined.

I saw Doors live. I was very young but was unforgettable. Jim Morrison also wrote books of poetry as well as lyrics for their song. You absolutely could not directly reference many inferences in songs then. Most especially drugs n sex. Also Doors were around Berkeley scene. The drugs of their day n those was acid- aka LSD. Quite different than DMT I’m told. Having not taken DMT I only know it’s intense n over. Acid trips could go 24 hours. Jim was known as “ the Lizard King”. Doors would go out to desert in shamanistic way to experience acid trips. Breaking through I believe he meant smashing thru societies constraints. But he also cautions on false illusions which I believe he’s singing about w the chains. Also with the gate. You believe you’ve found the way n you find there’s these other obstacles that either impede it or shoe it to be an illusion of being the way. He was searcher as well thru many philosophical n religious imageries. Also had the whole explosion w Timothy Leery n the “ Electric Koolaid Acid Test” book about experiences of Ken Kesey n his merry band. Mescaline, psilocybin , peyote etc were plentiful n commonplace. Believe someone mentioned the Sullivan show controversy by being vilified for singing couldn’t get any HIGHER. There are many other songs that are fascinating by them - The End, LA Woman, Back Door Man, People are Strange( which think you’d find interesting about illusion n marginalization).

The next logical step is the Doors" Light My Fire" also if you want a great mind blown performance REM" Orange Crush" Live pinkpop Festival 89

the song is about death. (breaking through to whatever exists outside of the physical body) morrison was obsessed with death. you could hear references to death in MANY of his songs. he saw death as the ultimate thrill ride. he toyed with the idea over and over, playing with dangerous and risky behaviors in an attempt to get closer and closer to death. there's a fine line between extreme risk-taking and suicide. jim wanted to peer over the edge of death and see what was there. he finally got so close that he fell over.

The Doors - Riders On The Storm The Doors - The Severed Garden

Anthrax - In the End, In My World, Indians, Inside Out and What Doesn't Die

Yes finally The Doors again!

"When the Doors of perception are cleansed, everything will appear as it truly is." "Infinite." (William Blake) Fun Fact: This is supposedly where "The Doors" derive their name from.

Rip Jim Morrison!! Kings of psychedelic rock. Do The Doors - The End

You NEED to listen to Light My Fire...

Dated and the Doors used in the same sentence? My friend, there are many words that describe the Doors but dated is not one of them. Oh you don’t understand why this song is so popular? That’ll be all from you two. Take care.

Now time to do some Danzig!!!

sori needs to see fear and loathing in Las Vegas for a trippy movie

A Lot of mind-expanding/altering/pshycadelic/ drugs that's what was going on there. Jim Morrison was a rebellious rock poet, the lizard king and all around iconic frontman.

The Doors - Riders of the Storm or The Crystal Ship

Stop reacting to the Doors ... good music in general... it's cringy how bad your musical taste is ....

''Roadhouse Blues'' ''Five To One'' ''L.A. Woman'' are 3 better songs by The Doors then this one just sayin

"What the heck is going on here?" Drugs, Sori, drugs is going on here (and a great song, too).

The Doors are one of the seminal 60's group. Jim Morrison is legendary as a frontman. Like Janis, Jimi and the Beatles their music transformed music and helped change culture. The breadth of music during this time is amazing.

Watch the movie The Doors. Val Kilmer did an Excellent job as Jim Morrison.

he looks puzzled, but she starts smiling slyly....she can feel Jimbo crawling up her leg..and likes it!

Not sure why I keep watching this, their strange reactions and breakdown of timeless classics always leave me irritated and disappointed.

If I've ever seen candidates for an emergency dose of LSD it's these two.

Sori poodle skirts were the 50’s. You can usually find one at Halloween costume store. I got one there when wore it w the fuzzy sweater n dumb pin on side. Saddle shoes n Bobby Sox completed look plus my giant beehive hairdo w one long piece hanging down. That’s the iconic look of 50’s. Look at American Graffiti.

The Doors were one of the greats. Nobody likes everything, but greatness isn't determined by personal taste.

To listen to The Doors you must understand who Jim Morrison was and then maybe you’ll understand the appeal. The Doors absolutely ‘timeless’ and not ‘dated’ as she said. Jim Morrison was a legend

Rory Gallagher - Bad Penny Wishbone Ash - Errors of my Way The Who - Baba o'Riley Uriah Heep - Gypsy

This song is brilliant....the energy, the lyrics, the passion ... I mean there’s nothing to shake one’s head at here ... other than sheer joy and amazement...this band was and is legendary for a good reason...

I was fully expecting “oh, I’ve heard this” in the first 10 seconds. Classic.

break on through to the other side stands for taking a psychedelic drug and breaking through to a higher plane of conciousness jim morrison did alot of acid back in the day

There was no restraint in the 60s. 70s a little. 80s yes.... 60s is gung ho.

one thing you need to know about the singer Jim Morrison is he had TONS of swagger. I think one of the ingredients in Axe body spray is one strand of Jim Morrisons hair

"When The Music's Over"! It's incredible

Please do ''The Soft Parade'' as the next doors song it will blow your mind

If wanna listen to a good song from the doors trie not to touch the earth

"I think he's partial to darkness, basically." Yep. That was Jim.

I still get goosebumps everytime I hear this song. Jim Morrison, but The Doors are true American treasures. No one sounded like them before and no one has sounded like them since. Jim Morrison was a true poet. Jim lived fast and died young, but he wasn't as bad off as people think. Sadly his death is mysterious, there are numerous situations that how it could have happened, including the sketchiness of no one seeing his body except his gf and someone to sign the certificate, even the manager who flew there didn't see it, it was a sealed casket. You should listen to "Light My Fire", their biggest hit, but you might get a kick out of them getting kicked off Ed Sullivan Show after saying "higher" live.

Jim Morrison took peyote. Great American poet.

L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm

One of the greatest rock and roll songs EVER!

Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night Pearl Jam - Porch live Pinkpop 92

Danzig -Snakes of Christ or Twist of Cain

I always interpreted this as meaning "break on through to the other side of consciousness - like going through the "doors of perception" meaning an LSD experience. But a friend who was into Wicca says this was straight up Wiccan imagery with the conflict between day and night (day destroys the night, night divides the day).

If you want some amazing poetry check out The Ghost Song by the Doors. Morrison was one of a kind. At age 18 he asked for the complete works of Nietzsche for a graduation present. By that age he had read, Jung, Reich, Otto Rank, Huxley, Blake, Freud, Artaud, Greek philosophy... Just to name a very small few. He had a genius IQ and left references in his songs to a lot of the books he read ... One of the references here is surely about Reich, a chapter in his book: "break through to the biological realm," where instinct and the sexual impulse is valued over moral and societal judgement and pressure....

They dont know the year,they dont know what lyrics mean,man just close your channel.

How about a little Whiskey Mystics and Men

I was an 8 year old boy back in Mexico city trying to figured out this lyrics and it's mushrooms !!

To understand Jim's lyrics look at his influences, like Rimbaud, William Blake, Aldous Huxley, shamanism, Dionysus (Bachus), he believed himself to be a shaman and was looking for enlightenment through excess, excess of drugs and psychedelics, excess of pleasure and new experiences, etc., he also believed in automatic writing as the best way to enlightenment and true creativity so he was writing stream of consciousness poetry - while really fucking high on drugs.

The Doors - 20th Century Fox

L.A. Woman !!!

1967. The name of the band comes from a book called The Doors of Perception by the English writer Aldous Huxley published in 1954. The book tells of his experience with LSD and other psychedelics. The members of The Doors took LSD together on several occasions. Breaking through means to see things in a new ways because of the effects of psychedelics and how the brain processes information. The lyrics are also influenced by the book City of Night(Los Angeles) by John Rechy. Morrison also commented about seeing a girl in Venice and he had to cross a canal bridge to get to her house. The other side...a physical place... and tripping on acid to break into a new mental state. It's poetry with layers of meaning and a lot of it is no obvious.

its great to see the reaction of people hearing the doors for the first time , complete shock.

Anathema Internal Landscapes Anathema- Dreaming Light official video with the two girls Anathema- Flying live from Bulgaria Anathema- Untouchable pts 1 and 2 live from Bulgaria Too many good ones to mention.

You guys better react to their Gloria song

The Doors are wide open, the lights are on but no-one's home 😔

wunderful reaction...btw: The sound of the doors cant be "dated" because nobody (or nothing) ever sounds like the doors...

Moonspell - Night Eternal

Beetlebum - Blur

This song is directly related to the Aldous Huxley book "Door's of Perception" from which the band gets their name. The Breakthrough he's singing about is the use of drugs to breakdown the walls of perception and pull the veil away from our perceived reality. He was aware of and enthusiastically embraced the spiritual notions of different and ancient cultures that included ceremonial drug use, namely hallucinogenics, as a means of interacting with the spirit world and gaining enlightenment. Hence... Break On Through.

Guys, poodle skirts are from the 50s, this song is from the late 60s, which was the era of mini skirts. No band sounded *remotely* like this in the 50s.

The more things change the more they seem the same... I couldn't help noticing that your reactions as the music was playing were very similar to those early 70's audiences that just sat and listened and didn't move around. I can't listen to The Doors bass without bobbin' and weavin', what is with that? For the most part, the lyrics are secondary in most RnR, we don't need to know what deep meanings the artists had in their lyrics to enjoy the music. Just open your minds, relax and enjoy.

Queen - The show must go on. Would love to hear you reaction to this song because the backstory is so huge. Mercury was already very sick at the time of recording this song, and the bands guitarist Brian May wasn't even sure would Mercury be Physically capable of singing the song. Mercury said" I'll fucking do it, darling" downed a couple of vodkas and killed it. What an absolute legend.

They put the word “high” back into the bridge. It was removed by record companies since it was considered controversial. This is the first time I've heard the original version.

i look down at my genitals "Hey guys! Its Jimi, Mitch and Noel."

14 days left until Tony "Riff Lord" Iommi's 71th birthday - a perfect day to react to Black Sabbath! Black Sabbath - Into the Void Black Sabbath - Under the Sun/Every Day Comes and Goes Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe

Do "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull.

When he says "Break on through to the other side", he means death. Life to death.

LSD was so popular then. A lot of musicians did acid back then, and wrote music. Pink Floyd was another band that did a lot of acid, which is why Sid Barrett could no longer be in the band, because he fried his mind.

Novembers Doom - Autumn Reflection Over 390!

Please react to Roadhouse blues by the doors

When I first discovered heavy music as a 12 or 13 year old, The Doors were just some groovy band I couldn't get into. Reaction videos are fun that way. This music lasts because it's good and isn't pop. It took me a long time to appreciate The Doors. Riders on the Storm is what did it.

Jim Morrison he died July 3,1971 Paris, France I am a huge fan.. He took up film School @UCLA and was also a poet.

Acid..lsd..was the big hallucination in that time then

please react to Ted Nugent Stranglehold

It's about breaking through into another perception of reality. It's accepting and knowing that we are so very limited in what we know of reality and beyond.

The name The Doors is in reference to the doors of perception. So, breaking on through to other side is referencing moving to another state of consciousness probably through drugs. It’s also abou breakign down the social structure and getting to the other side (the truth) The words are hard to decipher as they don’t necessarily convey literal meaning. But it’s basically about breaking though in various ways. He also references various ways of breaking through to the other side. In one instance he is referring to a lover who has an island in her arms and country in her eyes. Which are supposedly positive traits, But her arms are a chain and her eyes are lies (the same way the country is based on falsehoods) so he’s comparing her love to country and saying both are outwardly inviting and positive but if you scratch below the surface they are based on lies. The idea thst everyone loves his baby becaise she gets high has that dual meaning too. They may love her becaise she is high all the time and so has broken through to the other side, but it could also be seen as a false love. They only love her because she has drugs. Then he references John Rechy's 1963 book City of Night. In that book, Rechy writes about "the other side" in reference to Hollywood. He appropriates some of the lines form the book “place to place, week to week, night to night” in the lines “day to day, week to week. Hour to hour. Another reference to breaking though to the other side, Finally he actually describes a gate and he talks about how he needs to break through the gate to get to the other side of the gate. Which would simply be an example of rebellion against society. Again, the lyrics are abstract in some ways and so you get disconnected imagery that doesn’t logically connect. But the u delaying theme is simply about moving past falsehood to truth. Whatever that may mean.

...do The End by the Doors!

The song came out when i was born.The lyrics were always a scandal that time.The song is OK,one of the commercial Singles,but check out heir Epic Songs THE END or WHEN THE MUSIC IS OVER....but you have to SEE Jim Morrison when he performed the songs Live...or the long Live Version of LIGHT MY FIRE....or their calm song RIDERS OF THE STORM....like Guns & Roses,you started with the wrong song first...

Jim was genius, GOAT 🐐

The Doors of Perception are closed to these two. lol

YOU NEED TO REACT TO LAYLA FROM DERICK AND THE DOMINOS. SINCE VIN IS A FAN OF GUITAR RIFFS, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME FROM I BELIEVE THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN HISTORY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT YET.
