The Doors - Rock Is Dead

[@shaunareed7816]

Kills me to hear and see people say Jim was just a drunken fool, in Jim’s most drunken-drugged out state, he had more talent and soul than 9/10 musicians of all genres that have recorded from 1970-now ✔️

[@Spicuzza568]

Agreed

He was the best and the others are just jealous that they can't be as good as our Rock God Jim Morrison ❤️

[@UnchainedMelodie92]

The most brilliant and best of them are always tortured souls that use drugs to make a bit more sense of the madness that they live amongst. Just because they used drugs does not take anything from their brilliance and it does not define them. I hate people that judge like that and can't see beyond drugs-- turning their noses up at these geniuses as if they're somehow better when we all know that people like that are fucking losers.

[@alexandrosavdikos8447]

@@UnchainedMelodie92 and the funny part is that noone of them was a drug addict.Not even jim.He was only an alcoholic and did drugs very few times in his life.I 100% agree with you man let's keep the gods alive because they fucking deserve it

[@PathosDistanz]

JM mentions this piece in an interview from 1969 with Jerry Hopkins: "We needed another song for this album. We were racking our brains trying to think what song.We were in the studio, and so we started throwing out all these old songs. Blues trips. Rock classics. Finally we just started playing and we played for about an hour, and we went through the whole history of rock music-starting with blues, going through rock & roll, surf music, Latin, the whole thing. I call it 'Rock is Dead.' "

[@chadczternastek]

One of the best ten minutes of any possible sound to go in my ears, gets interrupted exactly 7 minutes, wtf, advertisment. . One you turn up the volume to highest setting when absolutely no one is around. This song can easily be shortened and go full blast on any rock, blues genre, anytime, now to 3000 years from now. In my opinion.

Yo creo que Jim esta hablando sobre que el Rock va a cambiar su mensaje, y va a pasar de ser "love, my baby, doodapadooda, let's dance, etc.", a ser el medio por cual se va a pasar la voz de la revolucion, la critica al sistema y los movimientos sociales, y va a dejar de ser mas que nada, musica para divertirse, bailar y pasar el rato. El quiere decir, que el Rock esta muerto, porque va a tener un gran cambio en su mensaje y en su impacto en la sociedad. Y tenia razon, si nos vamos al año 1969, fecha en que se grabo esta brillante cancion.

Rock was so alive then, now it is really dead (and I don't care about what you think, just watch the TV and see that there's no more rock on the mainstream media, and yeah it may live in our hearts but the music industry killed rock for sure).

***** Jim disliked his father often refering to him as dead, Jim was the complete opposite to his father and shared opposite beliefs. I believe the reason he didn't believe in the hippie movement is due to that he knew it wouldn't last forever. He was right with the summer of love and the effect it had on san francisco afterwords, this being that the city was left in a bit of a state.

rock is rock, dubstep is dubstep, pop is pop, techno is techno. every genre has own characteristics, pros and cons. cause all music genres (pop, funk, disco, rock/metal, house, techno, dubstep, soul, hip hop, R&B, industrial) are created naturally within years. for example, rock was created within years as fusion of various genres (blues, country, folk, rhythm and blues, boogie-woogie, gospel) meanwhile dubstep was also created within years beingoriginal, but influenced by dub, hip hop,breakbeat
