The Official The Doors/Jim Morrison Thread (dancing, rock, albums)

[Oi_To_The_World]

does it really matter if an artist was a horrible individual, if he did drugs, if he beat on his wife, if he killed someone. the music is the bottom line. but youre right, it doesnt matter either way. youre entitled to hate or like whoever you want.

[Urban Hat€monger ?]

It wasn`t so much what he did it was more the way he did things. He was arrogant , self serving & thought he was better than everybody else. He didn`t have any time for anyone else. He had no friends , he treated women like dirt & he wasn`t even close to the band he was in. Basically he used people to get what he wanted.And when the Doors took off & he started to get fame , drink , drugs & women in abundance he got even worse & thats why he`s lying six feet under in Paris right now.

Okay everyone burn your doors CD the Mighty musical god Urban Hatemonger has spoken since someone did stupid things in a band we have to all hate him and his music.Were not allowed to say anything in defence cause he'll just falme you and and say "im just debating" so everyone doors are as of now a band we cant like.

I was being a pissy d*ck when i wrote that.

Jim was more than just a twat... sounds like a horrible junkie indeed. I don't see why its glorified so much with him yet everyone is allowed to say bad things about Pete Docherty.

The Doors music ruled though. 'The Cars Hiss by my window' still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

The doors were awsome. But hatemonger is a little in the right. From what I've read most accounts of Morrison after he became ultra famous make him out to be a womanizing drug abusing drunken jerk. But That dosnt change the fact that he was an incrredible lyricist and singer. But besides Morrison I think Manzarek is way to often overlooked as the backbone of the doors. Morrison put a wonderful face on a wonderful band But Manzarek is one of the best(if not the best) keyboard players I have ever heard. And without his signiture key work in almost all doors songs the band would never have made it as far as they did. After all it was manzarek who helped found the doors. But yea, the Doors were an amaaaazing band. I love House of the rising sun, crystal ship, break on through, people are strange, whiskey bar. and so many others.

That pretty much sums up everything i`ve ever thought about the Doors, Manzarek doesn`t get anywhere near the amount of credit he should for the success of the Doors.

Doesn't that always happen though? Every frontman and lead singer gets hailed as the man behind the whole thing.

Well look at Coldplay (Although to be fair thats not something i`d want to do)
I don`t think i`ve ever met anyone who knows the names of the other 3 members.
