MORE JIM!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Doors - Waiting For The Sun REACTION

[@keymack2477]

If you have not hit "The Crystal Ship" yet it should definitely be on your list!

[@futurereflections4097]

My favorite. Chords are minor key until the end of the chorus. I remember learning that in guitar and that minor to major shift felt amazing.

[@imtheguvnor]

Yes. 'Be-fore-you-slip, into, unconsciousness, I'd...like to have another kiss' Amazingly beautiful Song.

[@aarongoldstein7614]

Your next Doors reaction should be “When The Music’s Over”.

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

I second that request. The album cut or the lyric video.

[@CLRoess]

I third the request! One of their best. Also I don’t think they’ve reacted to “The End” yet or “Light My Fire”. But yeah do “When The Music’s Over” next.

[@ammackenzie33757]

Yes, yes, and yes! A definite must for anyone wanting a Sunset Strip ride along with “the lounge lizards from hell’s piano bar”

[@reubenpresley6262]

Yess pleaseeeeee❤🤘🏾

[@vincentschmitt7597]

Turn out the lights

[@kbusby4824]

"This is the strangest life I've ever known." Such a great lyric and such a fantastic song. RIP Jim and Ray.

[@BritIronRebel]

That's a classic along with "Cancel my subscription to the resurrection - Send my credentials to the house of detention - I've got some friends inside"

[@beckygrant2258]

I agree “When the Music’s Over” is a hypnotic piece of work. One of my favorite’s. I love the Doors music so much. Every song is so unique and creative!

[@vincentgrogan7611]

The doors create a mood that no band before or since have ever matched

[@richardkint6531]

You gotta do L.A. Woman next. Jay, you would love the opening base line and play it on your base!😎

[@danrumble74]

You're right that Jay would love the bass.. and Amber, being a roadhouse blues fan, would like the voice. I bet it could be her new favorite.

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

Fun fact: the opening guitar riff on the album version is playing “My Country Tis Of Thee”.

[@jayconant3816]

One of their best

[@Drumaier]

Wait... They didn't react to L.A. Woman yet?

[@TheEasyeman]

One of the most perfectly constructed songs evrrrr🎉🎉🎉

[@philipwilkinson988]

Simply the best rock band ever.

[@stevechilders2624]

Can’t go wrong with the doors. Their whole library is killer.

[@GaryCeaseGhostWolf]

Do they still say 'Killer'? Lol... But yes can never go wrong with The Doors 💯

[@dimedraweriv258]

5 to 1 should be next

[@MGOLD-j1d]

My daughter just turned 21 and she thinks Riders In the Storm is cool. You are right about their library and it's timeless.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

If you want another "haunting trippy" Doors song, one that takes you on an internal trip like a dark Pink Floyd, check out what is arguably the Doors' signature song: "The End." And if you want a trippy Doors song that goes a little harder while encapsulating so much of what makes the Doors the Doors, check out "Not To Touch The Earth." The song is a section of a larger performance piece called "The Celebration of the Lizard," which is rooted in Jim's poetry, his fascination with shamanism, and is the origin of Jim's infamous nickname, "The Lizard King." Another Doors song that goes pretty hard is "Five To One." It has a bit of a revolutionary vibe to it. And if you guys liked that one hard riff in "Waiting For The Sun," then "Wild Child" is another one you'll like because it has that sound running through most of it and the lyrics are, as always with Jim, poetic and mythological sounding in a way you don't get from any other band.

[@Jessica_Roth]

They won't do "The End", because they don't play longer songs. Same issue with "When the Music's Over", which breaks my heart.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@Jessica_Roth Yeah, they tend to keep their videos relatively short but they've also done a few longer ones, particularly from Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Yes, etc. I think if they like a band and enough people request a song and/or like the comments that request the song, they'll do it even if it's a little longer. Just need enough likes on these comments to get them to the top of the list since I think J&A sort comments by most popular to find out "what the people want."

[@shawnk7832]

The End is the one.

[@LiberalsArePoop]

I've recommended The End and The Soft Parade. Both are so great!

[@roy19491]

after all, Jim Morrison was "the Lizard King"

[@cynergy4]

The Doors were magical and Jim was their poet in residence. Just think about that line "this is the strangest life I've ever known", indicating that he has known many. Mystical! A huge part of the soundtrack of my youth

[@kbusby4824]

Exactly and well said.

[@RYANDEOROCK]

Doors had a 2nd poet in Mr. Robert Alan Krieger as well.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

Love this song. Another The Doors song to check out is Moonlight Drive. It was the very first song Robby Kreiger played with them and it’s the song that made Jim Morrison fall in love with the sound of a guitar being played with a bottle neck slide.

[@kbusby4824]

Great suggestion.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Also was the lyrics to this Jim Morrison read to Ray Manzarek on the beach (Venice?) around the first time they met (if my memory is right!)

[@F.W.ENDER.75]

Ray ran into Jim on the beach after attending film school together at UCLA.

[@chetcarman3530]

Best line: "This is the strangest life I've ever known..." 👍💯

[@spantle3888]

Thank you for my favorite Doors song! Please try Crystal Ship next or Not to Touch the Earth. Great job with The Who and The Doors tonight!

[@mikepiccione886]

John Densmore is maybe one of the best theatrical drummers I've ever listened to😊 His ability to anticipate Jim's absolute insanity live on stage is unmatched

[@ubilo]

Thanks for letting us know about this.

[@beckygrant2258]

Oh yes, L.A. Woman is a great song, too. Didn’t we all love when that album came out? I used to love listening to that album on road trips!

[@namesameasu]

Don't forget their most famous signature song: Light My Fire. In its entirety, a definite trip

[@bobb9541]

Yes, Light my Fire always brings back some good memories.

[@zjbell700]

Consider adding The Doors movie to your movie reaction channel. Val Kilmer was fantastic as Jim Morrison.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yes!! I think they'd really like to see the real life story and Val Kilmer was exceptionally good.

[@strow1969]

Yes, this movie is a must see.

[@TahoeNevada]

The movie is very sensationalized and inaccurate.

[@mattfulmer4243]

Val Kilmer's performance was truly amazing, but the movie itself is total trash. All three of the surviving (at that time...RIP Ray) Doors disowned it and had a lot of anger towards Oliver Stone.

[@TahoeNevada]

@@mattfulmer4243 Val Kilmer (and the whole cast) did a great job. The movie itself… 🤷‍♂️

[@howardchaney6481]

Another Trippy Doors song that doesn't get the recognition it deserves is "The Soft Parade" it's from the album of the same title released in 1969 during the middle of their career. Fans are divided some love it and some hate it because the album contains quite a few songs that have added Strings and horns

[@chrismais]

When the Music's Over or the Crystal Ship memorable Doors hits...

[@mikegalvin9801]

Takes me back to high school. Listening to albums in my room with my friends after school on rainy/snowy afternoons.

I found the Doors in 1981 when I was 19. My favorite group. CCR is a close #2.

[@tez2534]

[@auerstadt06]

Morrison Hotel is a great album. You Make Me Real and Land Ho! are a couple of tunes on it well worth hearing.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

Great pick! Please do "Moonlight Drive" - LIVE version!

[@delorespetree3243]

Great song

[@Jimi-DV]

You guys should do all the epic Doors numbers: "L.A Woman", "When the Music's Over" "The End" and "The Soft Parade". My all-time faves are "Maggie M'Gill", "Moonlight Drive" and "Hyacinth House".

[@ellessandraramsay1841]

Hyacinth House is my favorite Doors song.

[@donnacorey5682]

Would love to see you guys do Crystal Ship next. Talk about haunting and trippy that's it!

[@johnscheunemann5630]

I’ve been a Doors fan for as far back as I can remember which just so happens to be about the time they were in their heyday🤭One of my first musical memories was watching and most importantly listening to them play The Ed Sullivan Show when I was just a toddler👦😆I can remember riding in the car hearing their songs on the radio 📻 This song is one of my personal favorites👍I’ve always had the same reaction every time I hear it! It never gets old to me✌️🫶

[@RicoCosta317]

Five to one is another classic Doors you need to hit!

[@dianetaylor841]

LOVE the line " this is the strangest life I have ever known."..and he wasn't here for the quarantine during COVID! Speaking of which, if you Google Robbie Krieger, you'll find some videos where he shows you how to play the guitar part in some of their songs. Glad you reacted to this tune. I was just about to recommend it to you. Try Moonlight Drive next if you want to hear some trippy guitar!!

You guys really have to do the 1991 movie The Doors on your movie reactions, IMHO Val Kilmer's best acting role, that includes Doc, Ice Man et al

[@mattfulmer4243]

Great performance, shitty movie.

[@leftcoaster67]

Tombstone and his portrayal of Doc Holliday was his magnum opus.

[@michaellockhart554]

[@petefilipovits9262]

​@@michaellockhart554I agree. It was incredible! I disagree with some of Oliver Stone's decisions, as did Patricia Kinnealy and the band themselves, great movie and Val's best role.

[@brandonchristopher2493]

💯 agree. Val, to me, since the doors movie is him playing Jim, playing whatever other character he supposed be

Apparently Jim Morrison and Eric Burdon were friends, but I can't find any evidence of them singing together.

[@Inked-Smash]

I’m such a Doors fan. Got hooked in high school this was me and my besties spring song, waiting for our summer vacation trips and then when those trips were coming to a close. Summers Almost Gone was our jam! We had a doors song for every thing really. And in the late 90s early 2000’s our friends didn’t always get it 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[@Alan-lv9rw]

If the Doors were a holiday, they’d be Halloween.

[@gilbertcortez6472]

I love The Doors music and I was lucky enough to have seen them in concert in 1968. Give a listen to, Not to touch the earth. A great song!

I'll never forget Lollapalooza in June of 96 at Kansas City. The Ramones finished their set, and the Shaolin Monks didn't take the stage. There was around 2 hours of nothing on stage, we were baking in the Summer sun, and the crowd was getting restless. Then suddenly Soundgarden took the stage and opened their set with a cover of this song.

[@420johnas]

5 TO 1 !!!!

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction!! Long been one of my top Doors tracks. Indeed, when the heavy, fuzzy keys/guitar kicks in, it's glorious! Then in comes Jim's melodic voice & poetic lyrics. The Doors was truly the sum of all parts - Densmore is a superb drummer, Krieger, such an inventive guitarist, and keys master Ray Manzarek (RIP) - what he could do in an age before synths was nothing short of miraculous! Then there's Jim (RIP). As iconic and larger than life as one could get. Love this.

[@alexandergustafsson4245]

There is an interview with Jim Morrison describing the doors music as the feeling he gets from it and it is the most accurate description I ever heard.

[@sumonjamal1653]

This was from the later album 'Morrison Hotel' in 1970... The Doors were fed up w/ being labeled a 'teeny bopper' band, so their 5th album was more rock and blues... "Roadhouse blues" was from this record... 'Waiting for the sun' is one of my faves. The Doors' last album w/ Jim Morrison was 'L.A. Woman' in 1971, shortly before the singer passed away... it became their biggest-selling album, even if they were told it sounded like 'cocktail jazz'... 🔥🔥

[@nitro_001newman2]

This is the first time I heard this song and it didn’t disappoint. I loved the mixed tempo. This is going to be one of my new favorites from The Doors.

[@chrisbloomfield3350]

My favorite song by The Doors is "Peace Frog"....not sure if yous guys have reacted to it, but it is a staple Doors song!

[@timdyer5903]

Can you believe that Waiting for the Sun is before 1971. It's ahead of its time.

[@M.E.McKinley]

My all time favorite Doors song. I got a radio station to play this song o e time. I love it

[@billpeters9999]

Jim Morrisons favorite singer was Frank Sinatra and you can definitely hear the influence it had in his singing style

[@Renkk17]

You have to see the Movie The Doors - All about Jim Morrison and the band and his relationship, also the 60's and 70's feel and the things that happened back then, Val Kilmer plays Jim Morrison really well in this movie!!

[@richardfordham931]

It appeared on the album "Morrison Hotel" which was their fifth studio album around 1969.

[@rogerwitte]

I think this song is about that yearning for Spring one feels during the Winter.

[@kathleensmith3555]

When The Musics Over is one of my very favorites -- The live version is a geat one to react to because it shows how Jim would control the audience and shows a bit of his fun side too --

[@jackieknows9129]

I will suggest another song with "sun' in the title Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes. Don't let the band name scare you off. Amber may even recognize the song when she hears it.

[@rrailguitar2211]

"Was this early Doors?" No, I think this came out in 1970, the second cut on the "Morrison Hotel" LP, which was their fifth studio album. They'd had a small slump with their previous LP "The Soft Parade," and Morrison's legal troubles were hindering their touring income. But this LP was a killer, opening with "Roadhouse Blues" and then this. Robby's slide guitar rules here. When he auditioned for Ray and Jim he knocked them out when he played that slide. There are still a lot of great Doors cuts out there, but like many of your other posters I'd recommend "L.A. Woman" next.
