not bad vocal but I hate that chorus pedal affect on the guitar. Sounds so tinny and cold. If the guitar sounded better it wouldn't have been a bad performance.
no one is ever going to sing this song as well as jim, but who cares? songs are made to be sung and enjoyed by everyone, im happy other bands are singing jims songs, in fact i wish bands would do it more often
I think this is good. Really good. The album version is better. But, his voice matches the album well. I listened to both the original and this cover back to back and they sound almost exactly alike. In the album, they play it straight, so listen to that before you crit the live version. Compare those. Still, very good for the live. Huge DD and Doors fan btw.
I normally don't like Duran Duran, and then I saw The Crytal Ship and I wanted to see how this was gonna be... I was going to troll, but this is pretty good. Not even close to touching The Doors, but kudos.
I see that this song is quite polarizing. I have to say that Simon does a pretty extraordinary job channeling Jim Morrison. I do think that classics have to be approached with caution, but in my opinion, Simon's performance is pretty amazing!
Both a Doors fan and a Duran fan....I'm kind of mixed on the cover to be honest. It's one of the better Crystal Ship covers for sure, but I've never been keen on them trying to tackle this particular Doors song. It's one of those songs that's really best left alone as a Doors classic.
@mckessa17 Wow you are a dumbass! That is the shittiest alcoholic drink ever fucknut? Why don't you drink vodka you motherfucking pussy? Oh thats right because you are a dumbass shithead pussy!
come on people he was just paying tribute to a extraordinary song by a legendary band. i just feel sad that people arent looking at bands like the doors for inspiration anymore.its a real shame that musics gone to hell, by the way nevermore's virsion of this song is crap!!!!
I thought I would be disappointed (come on, Duran Duran covering the Doors?). But they did a good job here. Maybe 'cause they performed it with genuine feeling.
I recall in the 80's Reading several times, that Simon Le Bon was a big fan of The Doors. I think he did a fine job with the Crystal Ship. It has a rather gothic, haunting feel to it thats beautiful. I think jim would have approved.
Simon did an amazing job !! I am a huge DD fan, but I first was in love with Jim Morrison, and he is looking down and he says "Thank you".... It's beautiful....
Simon did an amazing job !! I am a huge DD fan, but I first was in love with Jim Morrison, and he is looking down and he says "Thank you".... It's beautiful....
Holy Shit. This is actually good. It's undeniably Duran Duran, and it's still true to the Doors. Even the whistling is brilliant. This is just so unexpectedly awesome.
@wildcatter63 heheh... that's only a personal opinion..... for me Morrison's voice never could be imitated cause it's unique... OK, yes, i think Morrison has the sexiest voice ever....But as i said before, it's only my humble opinion.... I can think what i want, can't i ? :)
i didn't initially expect it to come out this good, and I also am pleased at how he gave the proper credit to the original artist. The whistle was a nice touch as well.
For years during the 80's I didn't like them, too much of a pretty band for my taste, but over the years had come to appreciate their talent. What I like is they play their own instruments, they also have lasted, and have developed an intergenerational fan base unlike the pretty boy bands of today for the most part. Many of them will be forgotten. I also respected them for choosing such a good song to cover.
yep duran duran always could play and always did write their own material and produce a lot too...i woulld be right in saying there are a lot of people who like them now in contrast to the 80s as they were labelled pretty boys but duran duran were style and substance.
id go as far to say today they will be one of the best live bands in the world.
this evokes a memory....duran duran..dublin 1993..i was a duran fan./..never heard of this song before to be honest...this set me onto the doors..good music leads you onto other good music.....respect
I was ready to blast Duran Duran for this but I have to admit...This was great and the fact he immediately thanks Jim shows that he's a class act. Bravo!
I gotta say this : I'm a die-hard DOORS fan , so I hate everyone trying to be THE LIZARD KING even if honoring him , however in this video Le Bon as I see in here is singing from the bottom of his heart and the guitar playing is suitable for the occassion , so GOOD JOB .
I completely agree Zepplica911. This version was much better than I expected and the arrangement with the guitar and whistle was actually quite nice. Yeah, hands off to Duran Duran. Who knew they could pull it off but they did. Cool.
@Zepplica911 An artist covering a song doesn't equate to trying to be the artist they are covering. I was not a fan of Duran Duran in the 80s, maybe because their MTV video image got in the way. When I hear them on the radio now, they sound pretty good. I like this version. The whistle works well in this too. I'm a fan of acoustic or stripped down music anyway.
fantastic cover...superb vocal. Le Bon is most certainly one the best live vocalists in the world today and despite the mighty Duran being teenybop pretty boys, they have proven and earned the credibility and respect that they should have had from the start of their career. 11/10 for the mighty Duran Duran.
This is the best live vocal I've ever heard this guy do. Duran Duran were unfortunately more a fashion band, and that may have been a kind of mistake. Nile Rogers, the Producer, thought they were excellent musicians. Made money, but thier work didn't last......40 years later....the Doors did.
@AmericanPlatinum Plenty of people still know Duran Duran's hits. Madison Square Garden and a number of other places were recently full of people dancing and singing along to them. People were responding well to the SIX new songs they played as well. They aren't The Doors but it's ridiculous to dismiss them; they are talented and dedicated musicians who work hard and have been making albums and touring for 31 years. It's not their fault the press focused on their looks.
Well, I favourited this one because they were brave for doing it; they actually did take acid once or twice; and they had that popadelic-certain-something that Jim also had.
I love the guitar. simon and jim have very different styles, but this was still very good. of course NO ONE can do it like jim did, but hey, jim is dead and simon is not.
The cover on the Thank You album is better than the live version. I think Doors fans that have a shit everytime a Doors song is covered should have the stick removed from there ass. DD did a great job on the whole album, Perfect Day, Thank you, watching the detectives, all good stuff. If shows how true there tallent is to pull it off.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is complete trash.If someone does a great Doors cover awesome.But this little eighties teenie bopper singing is not the Lizard King.Oh not at all!This is an insult to Jim Morrison's memory.
Poor guy with petty thoughts...! These men have proved, so many times, that they are not queers at all (and even if...?) ; they can fuck with all the women they want, and they do. And you cannot compare J.M. amazing style with Simon awesome one. We just have 2 different band in two different period, with so much talent and as many fans crazy about them ! Think about it little brain...
i think he done a good job! he probably just loved this door song and wanted to try it out for himself and why not...he has a nice voice.i would have to say that jims version is amazing because he was a young genius brilliant poet/songwriter..theres not many inspirational bands around now adays like the doors.but back to duran duran ..nice job ! i also love their song save a prayer
and i don't think it "screams for a keyboard/organ". simon's voice is doing it's job and carrying the song w/o alot of instrumentals. and this is not a far-cry from what they did in the 80s. let's not forget about Save A Prayer.
yes the doors wren't morrison vocal and lyrics only, was the union of roby ray jim and john and with no keybod and no solo the cover sucks agree totaly
simon proves hes the most emotive crooner of his era... as good as g michael is at ballads, would he be able to bring the needed sonorous soul & subtly that this song demands???... morrison was heavily influenced by sinatra & u can hear that line drawn to simon also... he gets the haunt & the sensouness into this that was morrison's signature... he did also w/in his own stylistic touches... very well done & not easy to pull off.
i love this cover !and i adore jim morrison , is so sad that he is no longer with us , a waste ! simon is so hot here and i love warren work too ! thanks for posting
wow, why is youtube the home of so many homaphobic or racist morons? If anything It's a semi-obscure Doors song that the band is bringing to new people. Get a life
fucking english faggots think they can imitate the great JIM MORRISON. if your gonna at least try to play this song have an organ in it also im just gonna say that his fucken whistling wasnt covering up shit
I say, chaps, steady on there. Speaking as a 'fucking' Britsh (non-) 'faggot', I thought this wasn't that bad really. Bordering on 'spiffing'. He acknowledges Jim. What more can you ask for. Covering a classic song isn't exactly a war crime.
Na moral, The Doors muito melhor!

and i don't think it "screams for a keyboard/organ". simon's voice is doing it's job and carrying the song w/o alot of instrumentals. and this is not a far-cry from what they did in the 80s. let's not forget about Save A Prayer.

simon proves hes the most emotive crooner of his era... as good as g michael is at ballads, would he be able to bring the needed sonorous soul & subtly that this song demands???... morrison was heavily influenced by sinatra & u can hear that line drawn to simon also... he gets the haunt & the sensouness into this that was morrison's signature... he did also w/in his own stylistic touches... very well done & not easy to pull off.

Oh wow. Like the guy before me said, Morrison would still be better if he was wasted on Acid and booze, than this guy.

Boooo. These guys suck. Where's the organ? This singer should do himself a favor and get a job in the customer support field.

wow, why is youtube the home of so many homaphobic or racist morons? If anything It's a semi-obscure Doors song that the band is bringing to new people. Get a life

fucking english faggots think they can imitate the great JIM MORRISON. if your gonna at least try to play this song have an organ in it also im just gonna say that his fucken whistling wasnt covering up shit

I say, chaps, steady on there. Speaking as a 'fucking' Britsh (non-) 'faggot', I thought this wasn't that bad really. Bordering on 'spiffing'. He acknowledges Jim. What more can you ask for. Covering a classic song isn't exactly a war crime.
