HI LittleQueenie.
Good to hear from you. I got a few more
pics, I'll try and get this thread done by monday
before we all have to go back to work.
Good morning! Who's gonna win the Super Bowl?
Question
High I am doing a research assignment on The Doors
and one of the questions stated asks what their
influences and contribution to the sound of rock
music is/was. Can you help me?
By influences i mean what their influences were
on their fans whether it was a good influence or bad
and if so for either what was it.....by contribution
i mean how did they contribute to the sound of rock
we know today, did they put any effort into changing
what rock music was and about.
I hope you can solve my questions, thank you
Ashley Ellen.
Answer
The Doors weren't part of the peace ‘n' love Airplane-Dead-
Quick-silver acid rock sound of San Francisco.
They had nothing to do with the English invasion,
The Beatles / Rolling Stones, or even pop music in general.
They weren't part of L.A.'s folk-rock scene, Byrds, Buffalo
Springfield or even Bob Dylan etc. They were a world unto
themselves. But what a wonderful and darkly exotic world it was.
No one ever caught the vision of L.A. in all its seedy beauty
like The Doors, and quite possibly no one ever will. Songs
like 'Light My Fire', 'Riders On The Storm', 'The End',
'When The Music's Over' and 'Roadhouse Blues' have kept
The Doors in that rare
pantheon of groups whose music evokes the memory
of the turbulent '60s and continues to make fans not only of those
who lived during that time but of following generations as well.

Grandma loved a sailor, who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was that whaler and he took me on his knee
He said: "Son, I'm going crazy from livin' on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands"
This old man was graceful with silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and he walked four country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free
Ya!
I've got three ships and sixteen men
A course for ports unread
I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow till half of us are dead
Land ho!
Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
If I get my hands on a number five gonna skin that litlle girl alive
If I get my hand on a number two come back home and marry you
Marry you, marry you
Land ho!
Patricia Kennealy met Jim Morrison in January 1969 at
the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the day after the Doors
had appeared at Madison Square Garden. A tall, attractive
redhead, Patricia was then the editor of Jazz & Pop,
an influential rock trade magazine. In June 1970,
Jim and Patricia were married in a Celtic handfasting
ceremony--an event that Oliver Stone later depicted
in his 1991 film, The Doors.
After Jim's death, Patricia wrote a memoir, Strange Days;
she is also a noted science fiction writer whose latest novel,
Blackmantle, was published to wide critical acclaim.
AL: What did you think of the Oliver Stone movie which
many people, ourselves
included, admired.
PM: You mean the world's biggest music video? Jim Morrison,
the man I love, the man I married, is nowhere in that film.
What you see is a grotesque, sodden, buffoonish caricature,
who could never have written the immortal songs he
is supposedly being immortalized for. But the worst
sin Oliver Stone committed is that you don't care that
Jim Morrison is dead at the end of the film.
AL: What was Jim's attitude toward the Doors? Did it
change over time?
PM: At first they were a group of struggling artists all
equally together.
At the end they were four wealthy superstars struggling
with a personal group dynamic that was anything but equal.
I think by the time Jim left for Paris, it had become
more an office relationship than a four way friendship.
Jim told me that he never felt he had much in common
with Robby or John, and that they felt the same about him.
When Jim left LA in March 1971, he left the Doors as
well--whether they knew it or not, whether they believed it or not.
PM: He didn't handle pain well. But pain for Jim, as for so
many artists, was a source of creativity. I think that he
thought if he stopped hurting, he'd stop creating...And
he was hurtful to others because he was afraid of being
hurt himself.
He found it hard to accept love because he had never
been given very much of it, and did not think himself
worthy of love.
AL: Was Jim self-destructive?
PM: Jim Morrison was most definitely not into destroying himself.
That said, I must also say that since Jim was an alcoholic
and not always in self-command, his instinct for creative
adventuring, that edge-walking side of him, often pushed
him into the borderlands of self-destructiveness--and
sometimes right over.
AL: What was Jim's attitude his last days in Paris?
PM: I had eight or ten cards and letters from him in the
three months he spent there. Some were exalted and
joyous and others were veiled in despair.
The last letter he wrote me was mailed only a few days
before he died.
He wrote of how tired he was and how much he missed me.
"My side is cold without you..." he told me.
The letter was to weep for, and I did, and still do.
AL: Did Jim talk much about Pam?
PM: We hardly ever talked about Pamela Courson.
She had nothing to do with us.
Jim kept his life very compartmentalized. And yes,
I absolutely do believe she killed him, and nothing
will ever persuade me otherwise. Not premeditated,
perhaps--junkies don't think that far ahead--but in
an attempt to hook him along with her, or to control him,
or punish him for leaving her, as she knew he was about to do.
AL: After twenty-six years, there is still the Morrison legend.
PM: Jim Morrison was a beautiful soul who had a deep sense
of the absurd. To him, the thought of being an icon was
repellent.
He was one of the great iconoclasts of all time. I think
he'd probably just laugh about his icon status--and
then set everybody straight in that Southern gentleman way
I love him for.

Hello I’m Grace Slick and this is Paul Kantner and in 1968
Paul and I were members of the group Jefferson Airplane
both of toured Europe for the first time with a band called
the Doors I think what the Doors and the Airplane might
have had in common as other groups at the time was
the shift that came about from the 50’s to the Sixties,
which is partly musical.”
Paul “Partly accidental of history I think the whole
sixties was much more than music and
the bands as well as artist poets creators of furniture
for that matter, reflected the chaos or what ever was
swirling around us and rather then concentrating
we’re gonna write a strange song instead you just wrote
what came and it was excepted..
There was something that went on in San Francisco
in those day there was something called the “Tribal”
Jim was saying it’s like a Dionysus experience it was
like a religious experience, what religion should have been
just total joy exaltation , and the Doors for us was one
of the few Los Angeles band that would incite that in
their audience.
The Doors were one of the precursors to Punk
new wave and metal explosion you can see Jim ape
in all of them in very successfully and less successful ways
you can see people either taken or stolen
or absorb his mannerisms.
Jim was very much like a blues artist in the looseness
of the music Like blues artist use to go to the bathroom
in the club playing the harmonica I’ mean go in take
a dump come back out still playing. There came to
be a sort of U2 like missionary like zeal of carrying
the fire to the provinces .
They where ready for us in England I still think it was in
an underground level a big underground so it was very
well organized We played the Round House in London
An old train station. It was just like San Francisco
people being magical to be different .” and the
whole psychedelics thing
was happening in Amsterdam too.
Grace “ Anstredam is very much like S.F> in
the way the building are painted the same way in the
psychedelic sense ,the business of having the doors
frame read the frames around trhe window are blue
the doors are purple bong in all four corners of the
room the buildings painted purple there’s head shops
in every corner of the streets . and in Amsterdam
also drugs are legal.” … Paul “ That was Jim’s problem
there. He was swigging on a bottle like a gunslinger.
In the middle of Amsterdam.”
Grace we where walking down some street and there
was a bunch of head shops people hanging out offering
us drugs of all kinds we say thank you very much stuff
it down or coats and move on but you don’t take everything
that was given to you, other wise you’d
be dead on the scene
Jim! on the other hand took every thing that
was given to him on the spot!!"
Paul Kanter recalls “ We were playing in Amsterdam
and Jim came out in the middle of our set somewhat
drug abused and started dancing on the side of the
stage to “Plastic Fantastic Lover” which is a pretty fast song,
getting radical Jim having a good time.”
Grace mentioned “He look like a pin wheel”
Paul recalls “He started spinning, and we in our perverse
manner started playing faster Just because he sorted of
invade our stage without asking . I mean we didn’t consult
ourselves it just occurred we found it amusing he went faster
and faster and collapsed and they didn’t do the show .
Later we where in the dressing room sitting around
heard that he was sick, and then we heard the Doors on stage
we went to check’em out and there NO Morrison on stage.
Rays singing ‘Baby you can light my fire…’
doing the act perfectly the whole set sounding
very much like Jim.”
Grace “He wasn’t faking it on stage, I don’t wanna name
any groups but there is a lot of guys get up on stage and
do a lot of posturing , out in front and you just think go home,
like Keith Richards said ‘ Shave and go home.’ It’s corny
and we would laugh at them, but Jim wasn’t
doing that he was real on
and off the stage.”

Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town
He went down South and crossed the border
Left chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shining skin
is everybody in?

Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom!!!!
Look!!!!!!

I can't live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down

Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen
eyes in their nipples.

Jim Morrison magazine covers:
HE'S HOT, HE'S SEXY
AND HE'S DEAD.
At the Factory in the 1960s, some of Andy's friends
and associates had unusual nicknames: Rotten Rita,
Candy Darling, Rod La Rod, Silver George, Billy Name,
Stanley the Turtle, Ultra Violet and the Duchess.
* * * Jim Morrison was supposed to be the star in Andy's
first “blue movie. ...
In Ray Manzarek's book, Light My Fire: My Life with
the Doors, he tells a story about Andy.
One night at the Factory late in 1966, the lead singer
of the Doors, Jim Morrison, went into a back room,
where a beautiful blonde woman named Nico performed
an intimate sex act upon him. Hearing of this, Andy hurried
into the room, but he was too late for the fun.
Andy then begged Morrison to repeat the act in
front of him, but Morrison refused, saying,
"Screw you, Andy,
I'm not gonna let you watch!"

and we would laugh at them, but Jim wasn’t
doing that he was real on
and off the stage.”

Great thread, one of the best i've seen on IORR, keep it up!
I love the Doors and Jim of course, but the idea that they were totally original and appeared out of nowhere isnt quite right, Jim took a lot of ideas and vocal stylings from Arthur Lee and particularly Sky Saxon, but you know what they say the average artist borrows, the great artist steals.

Hi Humanriff, noughties and to everyone sneaking a peep.
LET"S ROCK
The crowd was feverishly chanting, they were mounting a crescendo
‘WE WANT THE DOORS!

The MC took to the mic. As the crowd became unanimous
“WE WANT THE DOORS!! “ Alright! wait a second we
got a really long show for you we got a hell of a
show for you tonight…it’s a beautiful thing,
alright now look we’ve seen a lot of thing happen
in the city everything turned around everything beautiful
nobody thought we’d be able to bring the Doors here and we did,
but we got a couple of little things we got to tell you
about, Look Man, the Fire Marshall is not gonna let the show go on,
and I just had a long meeting with him and you gotta either
go back to your seats or you gotta move back ! let’s go back
to your seats, people are gonna get hurt up here.
Wait lets have a little help here please! Move back.

Jim Morrison New York City Madison Square Garden
along time ago, this is the voice behind the echo.
"Everybody sit down come on get everybody to sit down
there’s too much activity there in that section."
He tried to ease the audience.
"Is everybody ready? We’re gonna have some fun tonight ,
Alright ..alright everybody really gonna get it on
..alright "
"Well that’s New York for ya, the only people who
rush the stage are guys.”

Jim to audience.
“Alright listen man. We got a special treat this is a little
tour de force we’ve only done a couple times in front of strangers,
and it starts off kind of quiet so everybody kind of relax
take a few deep breaths think about your eventual end
and whats gona happen tonight,
and we’ll try and do something good for
your head man...right?"
The audience quiets down to a restless silence the tension permeates
around the arena then, someone shouts
“ I WONT THE END!” on the other side someone
screams “LETS GO LIZARD!” a voice from the distant
section of the arena hollers “ Shut-up!” all long Ray
is shaking the bells much like an alter boy early Sunday mass,
still the crowd seems to be having a good time.
Jim Morrison is rigid in his request to the audience.
summing the tribal gathering

Jim to the mass audience “Now listen, listen I wanna remind of something very important …
I don’t know if you’re aware
of it but … this whole evening is being tape for eternity,
and beyond that too” Jim finish is thought and
the audience heave back a hefty YEAH!!!!! with whistles
and cheers and a smattering of applauses.
The bells ring louder in between, Jim continues
“ SO! listen man if you wanna be a represented in eternity
with some (unkooth) language then
I hope you’ll stand up on the top of your seat shout
it out very clearly so we get it on tape .”
the audience becomes little more rambunctious people screaming
at each other to sit down , sit-down!
Another momentary gap...
And then Robbie Kreiger begins tuning his Les Paul,
fiddling with the amp you can hear a continues
low hum from Ray's organ peddle. The crowd reverts
back to a almost silence as the collective conscious
surrenders you can hear a pin drop with the exception
of the chiming bells
In syncopation with the mood of the crowd
Jim “Maybe I better tell you what this story is about
it’s about a bunch of young people that got fed up
with were they where living and what was happening
they got a group of them together and they went out
into the desert to live, away from everyone and each
night they’d build a fire and gather around ,
And sing songs and discuss what was happening .
And where they fit in.”

Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer ground
He fled the town

He went down South and crossed the border
Left chaos and disorder
Back there over his shoulder
One morning he awoke in a green hotel
With a strange creature groaning beside him
Sweat oozed from its shining skin
is everybody in?
is everybody in??
is everybody in???
the ceremony is about to begin

Way back deep into the brain
Back where there's never any pain
And the rain falls gently on the town
And over the heads of all of us
And in the labyrinth of streams
Beneath, the quiet unearthly presence of
gentle hill dwellers, in the gentle hills around
Reptiles abounding
Fossils, caves, cool air heights
Each house repeats a mold
Windows rolled
Beast car locked in against morning
All now sleeping
Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
Dust Lying under the beds of lawful couples
Wound in sheets
And daughters, smug
With semen
eyes in their nipples.
