Rockstars Who Didn’t Like Jim Morrison

While Jim Morrison was taken from us at only 27 years old and influenced generations of artists with his style, stage presence and enormous talents of singing and songwriting, Morrison has always been described as having a bit of an attitude towards people. For this reason, many rockstars avoided Morrison and didn't speak too highly of him when asked about him.

[@davidroberts7282]

Considering Hendrix was a former U.S. Army paratrooper who got honorably discharged for an on-duty mishap, the fact that Hendrix was utilized to be trained killer in the military, I don't think it would've been a very wise, smart move for Morrison to pick a fight with a man who could probably kick his ass pretty badly within a few minutes if he truly wanted to. Same logic goes for Garcia, too. Most Dead heads will tell you before he arrived back in the Bay Area to form an early version of Warlocks (which became the Grateful Dead), Garcia spent some time in the Army and I'm pretty sure his Army training came in pretty handy if some people wanted to cause trouble.

Yeah it came from a book. I agree with you. I always thought that was bullshit. They may have all been in the same club but I can’t picture Jim with his arms around Hendrix’s legs screaming “ I wanna suck your cock!!!” See, that how books “ writers “ make crap up. And that is exactly what it said in the book. Janis hit him with another bottle blah blah blah come on. I used to read all the Doors / Jim Morrison book back in the early 90s. All of them. And they’re still coming out with them same old shit same old stories. I guess people have to make a live in somehow.

[@jackjude]

Sam Andrew: I didn’t actually see Morrison kneeling down in from of Jimi, but Janis had this real righteous sense of when someone was taking advantage of someone else, or trying to steal the show, which Morrison was. She would become like a schoolteacher all of a sudden, and felt she had to step in to teach someone how to behave. Danny Fields: Janis stepped in and hit Jim over the head with the bottle, then she poured her drink over him. The three of them started grabbing and rolling all over the floor in a writhing heap of hysteria. I swear there was, like, fur flying, like a cloud of dust around them, as if they were in a dry river bed. They were in a tangle of broken glass, dust and guitars. A lot of dust and feathers and leathers and satins went flying around. Sam Andrew: I think Janis was just trying to tell him to stop being an ass. If he’d got up and sang a song, that’d have been fine, but we were there to listen to Jimi and he was stopping us from enjoying it. Danny Fields: Naturally it ended up in all three of them being carried out. Morrison was the most-seriously hurt." Louder Sound: What Happened When Jimi Hendrix Jammed With Jim Morrison

There's no such thing as "alcoholic" any more than there's a "cokeaholic".

I resided in Scam Francisco for years and was surrounded by a horde of very despicable Deadhead liars, ripoffs, and drug fiends. The males would run around town scamming and cheating whoever they could - their own (non-Deadhead) friends and acquaintances, mostly - for drugs, or money to buy drugs - then the female amateur drug whore Deadheads would spread their legs for whichever male Deadheads had managed to wind up with the biggest bags of the stuff.

His doors’ bandmates detested Morrison the last couple of years . There was hardly grief at his death, more like an expectation as it was long overdue. They only started to mythologize him in the 80’s because the deification of him was making them money. There was one interview, that you can find online with Robby Kreiger with an LA radio station in the early 80’s, where he plainly stated that he and his bandmates hated Morrison the last 2 years because he was always drunk and basically an asshole. Once the Doors renaissance really took off, and they started cashing in, they changed their tune that he a great but misunderstood soul. Manazarek was masterful at shovelling the bullshit about Morrison to make a buck.

[@SmallvillenerdTwo]

I think they all loved Jim as a brother and bandmember but if you know a drug addict or an alcoholic (or someone who's both) it's so hard to be around them that your love for them can be turned into disdain and frustration. The real Jim (when he was sober) was known to be shy, incredibly well-read, insightful and quite charismatic. I think the band really wanted to remember him in a positive light even if their final years with him were turbulent, unpredictable and sometimes sour. They still came together for a fun, creatively-stimulating and intimate recording session for L.A. Woman and I think their final work as a band was a very "equal" and collaborative product that they were all really proud of. To try and frame the group as money-grubbing two-faced worms for "hating" Jim and then "using his image for money" is a really narrow-minded and incorrect way of wording what was probably an incredibly complicated situation with far more factors than you'd ever understand.

[@julianbrowne7026]

@MrMortadella1 what they don't say is Jim caught them selling out to advertising companies behind his back so he left the band , he did them a favor to see out contracts last two albums...he had other fish to fry ...sorry but the albums after he died using his name the Doors were absolutely SHITE.

[@julianbrowne7026]

@SmallvillenerdTwo I don't disagree with you on the vain attempts to make perfect interpretations of the aftermath of JDMs death but I think it is necessary to attempt to get more plausible and realistic versions of the man who attracts so much attention to this day into the light, because I think the un- mythologised Jim is more weighty and interesting . The last year or so before the recording of LA Woman the atmospheric poetry ensembles were completely different and mature beyond comparison to the pop chart Touch Me nonsense . They had drifted apart and Jim remember hadn't even started his real career, The Doors were just a young mans' dream become manifest but it was over....if only he was as capable in his personal life as fortune gave to the music. He was only a child in the relationship game , jeez I am now 60 and when I look back to all my contemporaries at 27 plus their drink and drugs they would all be labeled...Jim may only have been drinking heavily in the unhappiness of those few years we will never know.

People can say everything about him. People can say they don't like him or his art or songs or poems. But nobody can say he wasn't a GREAT on stage.

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

".... from that point on it's unknown if that was the last interaction between the two but Wilson hasn't spoke about Morrison ever since." The fact that Dennis Wilson has been dead since 1983 probably has something to do with it.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

In spite of all of this no less a personage than Oliver Stone saw fit to make a film about the Doors since they had a mystique which was unmatchable even if Morrison, the navy brat whose father the admiral pretty much started the War in Vietnam single-handedly as local commander of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, occupies a special place in the Valhalla of overdosed rock stars. And then of course there weren’t many other musicians who could match his intellect or educational credentials having made it through UCLA film school not to mention having a genius IQ. But he became a drunk, which is guaranteed to be super-alienating to any normal sober person.

[@websurfer5772]

His fellow rock stars who are highlighted here were into drinking and drugs too except for Frank Zappa. Janis and Lou were even on heroine like Jim. There was more going on with Jim though and it was like he was operating in black-out mode much of the time.

@@websurfer5772 I read Nobody Here Gets Out Alive and there’s no doubt that he was super fucked up to the nth degree. But I’m an alcoholic too so there’s a sort of inevitability to all of that. Although heroin is less toxic in some ways than alcohol it’s too easy to over-dose.

[@johnstorton]

I have my own theory: In the days/weeks before his death, Jim was having bouts of severe hiccups, and had coughed up blood. Alcohol causes acid in the stomach. Acid leads to stomach ulcers and to acid reflux. Acid reflux causes hiccups. In one account I read in one of the biographies, Jim was taken from the bar, unconscious, to the apartment. He was put in the tub, and Pam tended to him. Jim vomited blood several times, and Pam kept changing the water. I believe Jim died from blood loss and/or trauma due to a ruptured stomach ulcer. I'm not ruling out that heroin may have played a role, but I believe alcohol, leading to ulcers, is the main culprit. Maybe heroin alleviated the pain, keeping him from calling an ambulance.

[@wyleetolson9182]

You know everyone’s quick too hate on and take down people like Jim Morrison and other musicians who were “self-destructive “but I rarely find people putting these icons behavior into the context of the times. The 60s was a very intense volatile period. A lot of people started off with hope and optimism that we could really get together and change things just with the power of love and community and creativity only to see the entire thing crumble before them. You can sit there blaming the drugs and the counterculture and whatever but the truth is the powers that be had a very strong and coordinated effort to stop any of those things from happening. they started the decade off with a liberal president who showed great promise in bringing about real change and then watched as Our government blew his head off in front of everybody and then proceeded to murder his brother several years later also in front of everyone. They invented a fake incident to start an unjust war which sent thousands of young American men(and even more Vietnamese) unwillingly to their deaths. Then they elected one of the most evil vicious people to the presidency who went on to use the issue of drugs to criminalize and murder any group that was trying to bring about social change, marking a new era of conservatism, violence and corporate greed. Could these figures “self-destructive behavior “ not be a sign of the spirit that was slowly dying?!?

Really wish Pamela Courson/Morrison would have gotten things together enough, lived long enough, to dispel all the rumors, and tell her side of the story of what happened. She was in that apartment, for those last few hours of Mr. Morrison’s life, to know what really happened. Whether it was only those two, in that apartment, don’t know. Or whether he was brought there, on death’s door, from the Rock n’ Roll Circus club, don’t know. Sadly, in the time of need, Ms. Morrison was the last person to take charge. She could barely take care of herself, let alone Jim. My guess is, in her later years, she was so unhealthy, so distraught with guilt, that even if she wrote that definitive account, of what went happened, probably nobody would have believed her anyway. There is not even much definitive accounts of her own last few months, of her life. She took everything with her, to her own grave. I guess, there are some questions that are never meant to be answered. Maybe instead of rumors, and guessing, let them both spend eternity in peace?

Also making some very unusual claims about Morrison. Now I wasn't there a but Manson had quite a few friends in the music scene. Jimmy Dore did a vid on this recently, regarding Manson's acquaintances in the 60s music scene. Again, I'm just repeating what I've read but it was very easy at that time for people to hang out with people in that scene. In fact as a result of the Manson murders the celebs closed off from the plebs, fearing for their lives. There are a lot of varying perspective on this whole thing but it is an interesting topic.
