I read that Val sent the band (Doors) a demo tape of him singing 16 Doors songs. Keyboardist Ray Manzerick said on most of the tracks, they could not tell which one had Jim or Val singing. An amazing performance. Val Kilmer is a legacy performer. Absolutely no question about it.

@ehLeanne311 5 месяцев назад

Ray was great at talking things up, I very much doubt that was the truth, even after the production of his vocals in the movie you can easily identify the difference, Jim Morrison had a distinct voice, not a natural singer he grew into it, basically starting as a 60s pop balladre, a kind of wispy, soft croon who could shout the high notes. He later developed a velvety smooth low vibrato and a talent for developing rhythmic phrasing by punctuating the vocal delivery of the song lyrics with strong emphasis constants rather than sustaining any vowels

Austin Butler did a good job as Elvis, and everyone makes a big fuss about how he sings the early Elvis stuff - but it's all studio pre-recorded. Val Kilmer sung/performed the concert scenes in The Doors live - that is a truly excellent performance, and Val didn't even get an Oscar nomination. He deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Jim.

Val Kilmer did such a great job it was hard to tell whether it was really Jim Morrison or just an actor doing Jim Morrison. Really enjoyed the movie when I saw it in the theater here in Toronto. Never got to see the Doors in concert. There were only three rock groups I would have liked to have seen in concert. Van Halen, Pink Floyd and The Doors before they lost all their venues due to fears of rioting kids.
