What do you guys think? This just sits wrong with me. It ruffles my feathers. It rubs me up the wrong way. Shit was wack, yo.
-
im surprised no one has done that with elvis.
-
Can you be so sure it was a hologram? 2pac 4 eva.
Really, it doesn't bother me that much. Also, what GKA said. There has to be some Elvis holograms out there.
-
Jimi Hendrix too. There's no way some nerdy artist type one night tripping balls and listening to All Along the Watchtower->Voodoo Child hasn't thought of this. Maybe at a laser show.
-
My finger was just hovering above the button to close that tab when the re-animated Jimi corpse jumped out of the coffin. I guess I'm glad, in a way, that I saw it.
-
supposedly not an actual hologram (http://thefrogman.me/post/21258561371/tupac-was-actually-a-magic-trick)

My bad.
-
If I didn't like it with Hank (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA67y3mqjMs) I sure as heck ain't endorsing this set of shenanigans.
Whenever I think of Hank Jr., I can't help but think Oh, it's "Daddy's Little Fatty!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpjoi8dL9R4)
-
Saw a couple references to this and didn't know what it was. Thankfully Batman and Robin have explained it.
-
What.

And it's not the first time they've done this.
-
To be fair, Hendrix's family already kind of dug him up with all of the compilations of unreleased materials, mediocre live shows, etc.
I can't complain, the compilation this is off of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2nr_F22Ew8) is pretty cool, although I can't find my copy. Seems like he was going in a much more R&B direction with the next album, at least to my 17-year-old ears at the time. When those sleigh bells come in it gives me chills.
-
Yeah, the world certainly could have used another decade of Hendrix.
-
Along as Jim Morrison would still be dead.
-
I like the Doors, but as I typed that I thought we have all the Jim Morrison we'll ever need.
-
The world has about 100 times as much Jim Morrison as is required.

I don't know, this is pretty wonderful. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EHmkNEMPK0&ob=av2n)

I'd take that over their official output every time.
-
There were some cute boys at my high school who were into The Doors, so I tried to like The Doors. In the end I realized liking The Doors wasn't really possible for me no matter how I tried, so I also gave up on those boys. When I look back now, I'm glad I didn't end up liking The Doors.
-
Am I the only one here who likes The Doors?
I mean, they are a ridiculous band, and Jim Morrison is even more ridiculous, but they have some fuck*ng awesome songs. And most of their albums are pretty strong.
-
I really dig their first album, but then I am out. Like 4 minutes into the album he says light another cigarette. I used to drive around in high school a lot chain smoking, and when he said that I was usually just finishing my first cigarette and lighting up my second, if done correctly right as he says the words (this maybe doesn't make sense- I would get in my car, start the album, start my drive and start my smoke. My smoke was over right as he would say those words and I would smoke again. I always wondered if it was intentional. I mean, a lot of people probably cued up records then lit a smoke back in like 66 67 whatever, so it makes sense it would be on purpose.) That is not a good reason to like them, but I also like them cause that album is good.
-
I listened to the Doors incessantly when I was in high school and they just sound sort of ridiculous to me now.
-
My opinion of the Doors has fluctuated through the years between 'they're okay,' to 'this shit sucks.' Right now I think they're okay and LA Woman fuck*ng cooks. When I was a little kid I thought Riders on the Storm was fuck*ng awesome. I still remember hearing it on the radio in my mother's car one night while sitting along in the parking lot of the grocery store. Light My Fire is a cool song, but once I've heard it I don't want to hear it again for a long time.
I think they're biggest problem is they didn't have a bass player until LA Woman.

Don't let that scare you my friend, let that liberate you! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=5xillqqt0Y0#t=107s)

The Doors were my Emo Teen music in high school. I need some more distance from that before I can dig them again.
-
Seems like we're all sort of in agreement, then.
-
This reminds me of a really weird poster I once saw. I went to a very left leaning University, and I came across a poster that was hand painted and said "Do you like The Doors? Come and meet other people who like The Doors and listen to the music of The Doors. It included a date, time and house address and that's it. I remember thinking, "I don't like The Doors all that much, but this would be pretty entertaining, and I bet there will be free drugs." I never went, I sort of thought I'd be lying to claim I like The Doors. I mean, I don't hate them or anything, but I don't really like them either. I really regret not checking out what was going on there though. Then again, it could have led to all sorts of bad things... I'll never know.
-
Never knowing....that should be the regret.
-
Am I the only one here who likes The Doors?

Yeah, this is pretty much where I am. And by god, where would TV documentaries about the 60's be without the organ riff from Light My Fire? Where, I ask you, where?
I mean, its one of the big three songs that are shorthand for the "Turmoil and Upheaval of the Late Sixties". Light My Fire, All Along the Watchtower and Gimme Shelter. Right?
-
I bet it would make sense to a lot of you if I said my Doors are your AC/DC.
Except for the fact that I've loved AC/DC from the moment I heard them and I've never gotten tired of hearing them. Even 35 years on. I got burned out on Led Zeppelin even, but never AC/DC.
-
Oh, and I just remembered, I had a doors fueled bad trip. A friend had died and I took some mushrooms at a party. I was doing fine until The End came on. I thought I was literally walking into hell.
-
the end is the worst song ever recorded, and i'm counting friday and 3 second rule and grandma vs reindeer in that tally
-

It's a great 2 minute song wrapped in a 12 minute package.
-
I love The End.
-
Interesting that Gimme Shelter was just mentioned because if you stacked those two bands up (and you can chop the bottom two-thirds of the catalog off for the Stones just to make the output similar) nobody would ever take you seriously. The Doors may not even be the best band with the word doors in the name.
-
I have gotten infinitely more pleasure out of listening to The Doors than The Stones, and I probably haven't listened to more than 10 Doors songs in the last 5 years. So I guess it takes all kinds, or something.
-
The Doors always seemed to me to be... tacky. Like, if Morrison hadn't died young, he would have ended up an old guy with a horrible lounge act in Las Vegas.
-
Well we all know how Val Kilmer turned out, and he was a dead ringer for Morrison back in the day.
-

You're exactly right. But they still made some kickass music.
-
Yeah, to be fair I liked Ace of Base too. I think that was like ages 8-11, then I kinda stopped listening at all, then boom.
-
Based on our discussion here I just watched this video (http://youtu.be/atAsq4R7v2c). My opinion has flipped back to "this band sucks."
Also, I'm very surprised that Inev doesn't like The Stones. I would have thought them to be right in his wheelhouse. Huh?
-
Oh, come on. This song, for example, kicks ass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boeCq8mSY5E

Oh these mood swings are killing me. Yes, I liked that.
-
Totally agree with Wombat's idea of future Jim Morrison. He'd be in prison for a sex crime, for sure.
-
sometimes I think that the best thing a band can do is come up with a new kind of texture. I haven't heard any band that had the texture the doors had. jazzy drums with fancy organ and flamenco-influenced guitar? whoa.
-
one thing i dislike about the doors is that ignorant, white trash stoner chicks have a boner for jim morrison and thay have that stupid poster/flag/whatever*. subconscious jealousy? im not really interested in the attention of those kinds of ladies, so i doubt it.

(why do i even care what people like and have on their walls? the fuck?!)

Heh, that too.
I'm glad some people agree. This is the first time I have ever dared to express this opinion aloud.

This is a safe place.

I wonder the same thing about the Che beret image - especially considering how revolting Guevara would have felt about being objectified in merchandise. Sweet irony.
-
I will drop in here the fact, which I have mentioned before, that the iconic image of Che was created by Jim Fitzpatrick, the artist that did most of Thin Lizzy's album covers.
The more you know!
-

Fitzpatrick recently announced that he was planning to copyright the Che image and give the rights to the family, because of the issue you mentioned.
-
Making his descendants wealthy from capitalizing on his image would be even more ironic.

Every time I watch the Presidents Race at Nationals Park, I wonder what those actual presidents would think of being memorialized in this way.

It isn't just ignorant white trash stoner chicks (or at least it wasn't when I was noticing it). There was a guy in one of my high school yearbooks who had his picture taken, shirtless, next to that poster. Amusingly homoerotic!

See, Morrision was a twink in his time, if he had survived he would have converted to bear.

With the drinking and not taking care of himself (and the copious facial hair), he was well on his way at the end there.

I've always thought a great name for a gay baseball team would be The Bad News Twinks.
