The doors of perception enter 2009

[Bportfish]

I was 13/14 when I first heard Jim and The Doors. I was camping with a friend. We met a kid our age named Dave. We were up in the watch tower in the middle of the nature walk when he just showed up. He asked us if we ever heard of Jim Morrison or The Doors. We both said yeah but never heard any music by them. He gave me the tape player & I put the headphones on. It was "An American Prayer". I immediately fell in love with both Jim & The Doors.

Hey girl i love you.. Vídeos really love that really love to make im the new lizard king i can do enithing

[SuperMiagi]

How i started listening to the doors was when my cousin showed me the movie and my favorite song and the first song i heard from them was light my fire now i listen to every song now i read biographies on the doors and jim

[lizardkingvoodookid]

i grew up listenin to the doors so i dont remember the first time i herd them, but thier music has always been a major part of my life,

jims words & robbie, ray & jhon's music influenced me in more ways than i can explain

[mazyrun09]

The 1st Doors song i remember was LMF cos its the most widely known ....but when i heard The End in 1991 ....just beautiful !!! Moonlight Drive is cool too ..and Roadhouse Blues ...and La Woman ....i could be hear all night long , yeah !!!!!

[Mysterymusicgirl]

i remember when they played that in 1991 when the movie the doors came out on previews they woul play light my fire break on through or riders on the storm it caught my attention and i loved watching Val kilmer but when i saw the real jim morrison i was real awestruck.

[mazyrun09]

The End just trances me out ...every time !

[Mysterymusicgirl]

The is a deep song.

[kashmir000777]

I got into the doors almost 2 years ago. After I listened to Waiting for the Sun, I was just struck by the Freedom which that song inspired. I got curious, and eventually got their greatest hits. To this day, Moonlight Drive is my favourite song, to me it sounds like you're in a weird carnival at midnight, watching the faces and hearing music. The End will always be that mystical song, the one that can send you beyond being, the one u should listen to on your first acid trip.

This is an excellent video.

I have written poetry for years and Jim was definitely an influence.

His (posthumous / lost) poetry compilation "Wilderness" is fantastic. I highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys the Doors.

Thank you so much for posting this !

[gialla111]

The Doors were kinda always there for me but I never acknowledged them, my mom had a few of the albums but the covers just looked boring to a little kid. Then, when I was about 13, remember 13? Still finding yourself and in a rush to become your own person. Well, there was a documentary on The Doors on vh1, Jim was singing The End. I thought it wasn't very good at first, I was into Robert Plant's wild style then, but after seeing the movie and really listening to the 1st album I grew to love it.

[Mysterymusicgirl]

thankyou for sharin your love of jim and the doors with us amazin.

[SCRIBESCREEN]

I started a revoleution in the uk with the doors music I first heard them as a child but the started to get into them in my teens,there was not many doors fans in that day and then when ray revamed them in the 90's I started to get all my friends into them and bobs your uncel,I must have help thedoors sell most there albums in the uk at that time most people never heard of them untill intulectual me come along lol, I gave people an inscentive to hear one of the best bands to come out of the us,

[TrppyTV]

LOVE DIS VID. 500 STARS

[Mysterymusicgirl]

thanku trippy.

[RavenClaws30]

Misty the first time I heard the doors it was on the ed sullivan show Jim mesmerized me. I couldn't

get my eyes off the handsome face after that I bought everything that had to do with Jim Morrison

and I'm still doing that today. I love all his songs

but I'm partial to the severed garden!

[JoeZChannel]

Misty,i heard them and all their hits when they first came out . First album i heard was Soft Parade when it was released. They didn't mean much to me until 1978 when we use to ride around in my friends car blasting their greatest hits lp. I heard The End for the first time in 8/79. I heard their story on a radio broadcast called the Rock Years and been hooked ever since. I stll have that Radio broadcast on Cassette which i transferred to cd.

[Mysterymusicgirl]

joe that is so cool i wish you would upload that broadcast here on you

tube it would be a hit i mean just

hearin a authenic broadcast i love stuff like that.

[JoeZChannel]

Misty, It's an Hour long broadcast. I know i would have to do a lot of work to do it but YT might let me get away with it. lol I also have Cream,Clapton,The Stones,Yardbirds,Hendrix. Look for the Rock Years on E-bay. Damn i'm old. lol

[Kimock7]

I've been listening to the Doors for 30+ years - first song must have been Light My Fire, but it was The End and An American Prayer and Celebration of the Lizard and Doors books that bonded to my soul as strong as my eyeballs - mystical magical wild love emotionally moving like a religion that I breath ~ we breath it

[samsevern]

"Hello, I Love You" was the first Doors song I heard. I was 11 years old, n' I thought the lyrics sounded CRAZY! "HELLO, I LOVE YOU, WON'T YOU TELL ME YOUR NAME"???? Blew my little mind! ㋡

[Mysterymusicgirl]

Hello i love you was my first to next

to light my fire thanku for sharin.

[ozzyandthedoors1]

and i love break on through that was my first song i ever heard

[ozzyandthedoors1]

i hooked up with doors when i was 11 im 12 1/2 im collecting every album and every cd i got the jim morrison scrap boook. Every one at my school makes fun of the doors like 4 people know them but every one else says doors suck But i say No they dont i told them that jim morrison could kick the ass out of pink or any other band in this centry

[Mysterymusicgirl]

you where just 2 yrs younger than me i was 13 yrs old when i started gettin into there music and yes people at school didnt like em but i didnt care hey aslong as you are happy and enjoy there music thats all that matters and i agree jim could smoke all the bands of today.

[KarenEng]

Cool video!.......I think I heard the "Doors" music at the late age of about 17. I heard "Riders On The Storm" on the radio and I was hooked from the start. Then I heard "Hello I Love You"! And I knew that their music was for me! And when I saw Jim Morrison for the first time, it was as if I knew him! My other self..........My male self, lol! I can relate to everything about him! The "Doors" music is just magical.........That is the only way I can describe it! ;)

[michelst14]

oh forgot to tell you... the very first time I

have heard a doors song, it was certainly

'le moustique' by joe dassin which WAS

a real hit (the mosquito), though I hate it. 'The end' is indeed very impressive,

and left me mixed emotions,

but can hardly be played on a radio,

even today I think.

I never heard the mono mix of 'the end',

does he clearly says

'mother I want to fuck you' as someone told me ?

[michelst14]

i mut have heard the doors for the first

time around 1974 on a french radio

'old rock hits'. The tunes they sometimes

played were light my fire, hello i love you,

which i kiled, and riders n the storm, which i didn't. Then I borrowed 'weird scenes' double lp on a public discotheque, recorded it on cassette. They made a

great impression on me and my

rock friends, and were always a favorite among girls, I don't know why.

[bebe1001]

I became a real fan of The Doors listen their music here on UTube.

Before that, i didnt know much about the band, beside the song "light my fire".

I grow up listen more modern music which definitely it was not comparable to the Doors amazing music, lyrics and poetry. On this site i discovered so many songs that i didn't know they even exist.And i m glad i found out about it:). thank u for posting, this is a great !

[Beatles4ever63]

well....i started to like The Doors when i heard Light My Fire (or it was "Touch Me")...i absolutly love that song......i wasn't around when Jim died (i was born in the 90's) well my favorite album is Morrison Hotel......and of course my favorite song is "Light My Fire" i just love the Doors.....but i was introduced to them at a young age...we drove up to the country and my dad brought a Doors casset and he put it on..and i listened to Riders On The Storm now they are #2 in my Top5 fav bands!

[alra1975]

Tell them you came & saw & looked

into my eyes, & saw the shadow

of the guard receding

Thoughts in time & out of season

The hitchhiker stood by the side of the road

& levelled his thumb in the

calm calculus of reason

[laslohun]

great

[hyancinthhouse77]

I was just a kid when jim died but i do remember him being popular not many no how much people loved him and the doors starting around my teenage years buyin albums still have them to sound as good as the day they recorded the songs.

[Mysterymusicgirl]

[Mysterymusicgirl]

[jaggermorrison2009]

awesome post Misty, around 1981-82 my sister got the lp of the doors greatest hits from one of those record clubs and really liked it especially a song i thought was weird and stood out from the others called "not to touch the earth" but when alive she cried came out in 1983 was when i really got into the doors. i heard gloria on the radio one morning as i got ready for school and save my lunch money for a week or two to buy the cassette and been hooked ever since

[Mysterymusicgirl]

Awesome story Howie about 1991 my friend loved the doors to he lend me a tape i made a copy i listen to that tape non stop and my favorite one of his early songs was 20th century fox i couldnt stop listening to it i loved it so much i enter it into a talent contest but i changed the words around in it and people loved it.

[Mysterymusicgirl]

prettt cool

[CrazyBear65]

Misty, my first comment didn't post, I don't know why... Maybe the youtube police read it and wouldn't let it post? You know, because of my outspoken nature... I don't know... But I had every Doors record, I mean actual records, before CDs existed, and Jim inspired me to write. You, Misty, you inspire me to persevere, to go the extra mile. I want everyone to know that...

Love ya,

Bear

[Mysterymusicgirl]

Jim Inspired me to write poetry to my rebirth never end poem was written to him his words inspired me to write that poem jim is a amazin role model.
