JIM MORRISON ★ interview 1969

[munchies23]

fuck skrillex

[pinknotfuchsia]

Reading through these comments, ugh. SKRILLEX is the reason that you became interested in Jim Morrison? John Cage & Carl Stockhausen predicted these things back in the 1930's and 40's. Jim Morrison is just recycling what he was taught in college, not acting as a prophet. I love Jim Morrison as much as the next guy, but holy hell I am annoyed by the mongoloid teens who want to sound like they know something because they just discovered The fucking Doors, one of the most popular bands of all time.

[jtessexpress]

@pinknotfuchsia Better people are getting their insights from Jim Morrison then the lousy "musicians" we have nowadays

[msoprano34]

Jim was a prophet and a great leader... Heavy drugs are bad news. We miss u Chief MOJO.

[NeillGuitars]

@projectmpls do not put down Jim Morrison, he is a genius, not figuratively; literally! He had an IQ of 149! I would be surprised if your artists have an IQ above 100!

[Hoobtastic]

irregardless.....

[projectmpls]

oh i mean he did he is dead as fuck now

[projectmpls]

now we know why kanya west likes them gay ass shades cause jim morrison weres them gay things

[msoprano34]

@projectmpls how can you compare Kanye to JM? Kanye can't hold JM's suitcase fool. When JM wore those shades that shit was orginal and gangster. Along with that big ass cigar my man was always puffing on, When Kanye wears his pink sweater - that is "gay." Get your musicians/legends right youngster. Respect a legend. Kayne is at home wearing his pink sweater reading JM's biography wishing he can be like that dude.

[idonthatesandwiches]

how many times did he say 'uh' lol :)

[xlookex2011x]

what a great man

[raptor750r]

thumbs up if Skrillex's song Breaking a Sweat brought you here! Jim really did predict future music production as we know it "relying on electronics" and "one person relying on these electronics" to make music

[IIZIFEII]

Love his music, very inspirational to a 15 year old mind. RIP

[projectmpls]

what a douch hippy scum

[brocster661]

@projectmpls yea fuck the free world

[americanmisfit1]

@projectmpls i wonder what you are as a human being, probably a fragment progressing to nothing. Morrison was a great poet and writer who was a huge influence on music who the fuck are you

[americanmisfit1]

@americanmisfit1 you forgot the E "douche"

[skateforweatabix]

your the type of person that will catch cancer, except no one will care.

[epiphonelespaul4]

@projectmpls do you have any idear who he is, i bet you dont. you dont know shit about music, so explain to me why are you here. You are not worthy to be watching someone like jim, OK. so dont watch any of his stuff again.

[projectmpls]

@epiphonelespaul4 yea he is a dead fag from the doors who bought alester crowley so why dont you have your life sized blow up doll of jim ass ram you then suck the cream off his dick go and die you trendy ass whore

[projectmpls]

@projectmpls alester crowleys house go die and chock on whats left of his body

[epiphonelespaul4]

@projectmpls Wow that was stupid, you sound like you're a 12 year old with special needs, how old are you? you're defently not old enough to have pubic hair yet. Please come back when you get a little better at you're punctuation and when you come up with something a little more logical. Thankyou.

Please go find some people to socialize with in you're boring life, so you dont have to come on to youtube to find people to argue with. Goodbye

[Picnicl]

expectations that they might have just continued in a similar style as before. Morrison, in a way, sincerely became as a Method actor might, his appearance changing as the music did.

This was not a poser worried about not looking beautiful. The beauty was in his mind and it shone through.

[Picnicl]

respect for good 'old fashioned' Americana. There is sometimes a playful carnival sound to them, intensely idealist and of that youthful mid 60s moment. The 'out of control' image that The Doors might conjure up for some is a misrepresentation of their tight musicianship and crafted beauty. Open-mindedness didn't mean no mindedness. The poster boy turned in to a different kind of bluesy, bearded, beauty. The Soft Parade album was a masterstroke - really fun to listen to and confounding

[Picnicl]

This is an artist. This is a boy. This is a man. He epitomises a timeless mind - if people saw ego in him then they were only really seeing what they wanted to see instead of seeing his thoughtfulness and talent. He surfed along the 60s and was dashed on the rocks of the early 70s, perhaps before he could see the 60s dream disappear. The Doors arguably invented disco with parts of the song The Soft Parade and, later on, The Changeling. They were prime innovators who, like The Byrds, showed a

Behold the wisdom and clarity of that generation, in the words of one of its prophets - Jim Morrison: "In a way, rock concerts have always, uh, uh, served a function - it gives a lot of uh, people, uh, with the same, uh, station in life, a chance to gather together and kind of, uh, assemble and, uh, just feel, uh, the sheer mass of them that exists - the numbers..." G-d have mercy on us!

[SkyBaja1]

@Bornvibe bro you were right, worth staying awake to watch... trippy shit

Jim Morrison... you trippy (btw ^^ this guy looks like Jim)

[mrbushcraftman1]

He presidcted electronic as a whole. Not just dubstep, and Skrillex is hardcore electronic not dubstep so shhh!

[SkyBaja1]

@mrbushcraftman1 he is Glitch/Electro House/dubstep

[InuzukaCds]

What a genius... I want to watch every second of this man's career.

[Dominicano809jeremy]

[theAbyss199]

[mixedwiththestars]

[BuddahDaStoned]

@sk8jkj its fucking epic

[Pr3ston85]

[LedZepp1193]

[LedZepp1193]

[cyocapyc]

amazing Jim

[cyocapyc]

thx mate

[PoMircheva]

it amazes me how he speaks.this man proves that there is no time..it's all just one big NOW all the way

[fridwoow]

so amazing how he describes the future.. what he describes really seems to be a dj...and remember people.. back then they didnt even have a mobile phone

[deadsailor79]

@fridwoow couldn't agree more...

[MrAjh420]

@fridwoow I guess he was a visionary , and I find he was very careful with his words , for he was probably "conscious" we might be hearing him after 40 years .. (RIP Jim)

@thefunkysmonkey skrillex- breaking a sweat

[ChangesENTGhost]

this man is a lyrical genius! musics great!

[walitung]

Have you ever ever ever seen someone this sophisticated,intelligent,cool­(because he is 100% himself btw)and interesting??? My God,he had so much to live for and would have made incredible movies for sure if he didn't die that young.He was someone that was not fully understood because of his intelligence and that is why he could really tell you to go and fuck yourself in a very confronting way!!!He just didn't like dumb people...R. I. P. Jim.You're an incredible inspiration,so thanks for sharing

[PineRidgeKids]

wub womp thats fucking dubstep womp weemp

[IndestructibleM1nd]

You don't have to be a genius to acknoledge that Morrison was completely stoned.

[Alexandr4872]

It looks like he is holding a blunt lol around the 2:14 mark.

[mik10b]

@Alexandr4872 your dumb

[ishman2983]

I think will ferrel has just been doing an angry Jim Morrison impersonation for the last 15 years.

[Musicalcupcake101]

He had a I.Q of a 150.....Yet he died a very stupid way.

[sensesfan2010]

@Musicalcupcake101 of heart failure? didnt know that was a stupid way. 149 by the way

[TheCatchFilms]

that sad part was he was probably VERY inebriated during this interview...

[realytimeful]

Jim man you called it 100 percent. got online to find some good samples for my song im working on as i type this. wish you were still around to see how far psychadelic music has come. The Doors still be the best though

[tropicalpimp]

Jim Morrison: The Prophet. This dude saw the future of music and what it would be today and no one seems to notice.

[DrTorture28]

Did he just say 'irregardless'?

[mynoobtube]

It is true, you can make music right from your computer.

[JBizhot]

wow hes like a psychic.. what a fucking genius. god i love this man <3 rip jim morrison

[MorganRyann422]

Omg id so much rather liisten to rap than this nail on a chalkboard soundin shit. He always seems fucked out of his mind and just looks like a low life slob....

[pnh92]

@MorganRyann422 Go away then, don't come to a freakin Jim Morrison interview abd bitch about how he's a lowlife, it only shows you're ignorance.

[Patatertot96]

@MorganRyann422 fuck you. hes a poet. talking about how many bitches you fuck and all the dope you smoke isnt poetry its bragging.

[Huffstuff420]

@MorganRyann422 Yeah, talking about fuckin ho's isn't lowlife at all. I'm glad you don't like it, I'd like to have as little in common with you as possible.

[Uncovered3rdEye94]

Well it can't be that good if a "low life slob" predicted it. Come on man we don't go on your rap videos and just constantly troll it so don't come over here man. Just keep it in your own genre.

[kebanyas1794]

@MorganRyann422 no. look for pictures of him. hes a good looking guy

[camiewashere]

@MorganRyann422 Are you retarded? All the rap artists I see are "fucked out of their minds" all the fucking time. Look at Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa for God's sake.

[djenrikk1]

its funny how all the comments talking about machines and music have to do with rap because it would break alot of people spirits to know that all music is doesn't matter if its rap, rock, alternative, house whatever they use engineers, technology to make them sound better even in live concerts what you think compressors, limiters, all studio equipment is for lol most people who comment only heard mainstream versions of the genre Jim is a legend and was definitely right about music in GENERAL

[MrStrongarms]

he is an amazing talent where ever he is now i hope he is in peace!

[MrPatross]

it better predicts rave music...

[MrGreycharles]

He was not off by 35 years, he was off by about 5 years. Rap began in 1980.

[MrGreycharles]

He was not off by 35 years, he was off by about 5 years. Rap began in 1980.

[Revolutionary95]

my friends make fun of me for using "uh and um"...after seeing Jim do it 10,000 times in this video im no longer ashamed

[Calvervtutrp]

He was fucked up. He was so high, he couldn't get what was in his mind into words at this interview very well.

[ChaseMcClure90]

Fuckin Prophet

[BrickUnit]

Dubstep + The Doors = Doorstep

[kingiam91]

He was a genius! And the fact that there isn't much taped interviews of him adds to the mystery!

[jenwill11]

Ha ha, Jim - just because people sat listening too him open mouthed because he could sing (!), he thought he was some sort of guru .... he wasn't. Check out what he said, it was mumbo jumbo rubbish.

[HellsAngelsofNC]

Is he smoking a blunt?

[chooseyourblues]

@HellsAngelsofNC

Looks like a nice cigar...

[sublimepuravidamae]

he's talking about Bassnectar

[indieindy]

Irregardless?? Really Jim?

[sublimepuravidamae]

@indieindy whats wrong with him saying that?

[indieindy]

@sublimepuravidamae It's not a word.

[sublimepuravidamae]

@indieindy It's in the dictionary

[ThePsychedalex]

"DUBSTEP"

[yourunclehank1]

I was commenting on @blica1's remark that most musicians knew

already that the "electronic future" was coming and I gave examples

of 2 individuals who were pioneering it as Jim spoke - no big mystery

he probably knew Mike and Gary considering the time he spent in

Europe

[ninholokooo]

he looks like me =)

[HawkMcDork]

very cool.....skip to 3:20 to hear the meaningful part, otherwise you will sit through j.m. saying "um" 643 times

[sensesfan2010]

@HawkMcDork dont talk shit on Jim Morrison man, no need

[FlamableCookie]

I wish I could live in that time :/

[howarewesocool]

smoking a blunt talking about music, i want to kick it there too.

[deaimian]

@howarewesocool i wouldnt call that cigar a blunt dude ;P

[Astromens]

Jim wasnt stupid

[SternAndStrauss]

made a remix of this interview check out sound cloud and search stern and strauss

[maggottron333]

He predicted the shitty music we have today. We miss you, Jim Morrison! <3

[DylanHughesss]

ummm uhhhhh

[CobainLennon8094]

Geez well you just heard Jim Morrison predict rap music pretty much to a tee. A new form of american music that doesnt require a band.

[djenrikk1]

@CobainLennon8094 thats all mainstream music mostly even music that require bands use technology to make it sound better than it is originally thats why they have engineers

[GingaPlayer2]

@CobainLennon8094 well there's tons of hip hop that have live bands, a good example The Roots

[TehAWAL]

@CobainLennon8094 not rap but Dubstep 0:30 vibrations from the music, 2:59 electronics the thrid element is bass! bassnectar was the one who pointed it out

[atrumpetwillsound]

@TehAWAL lol? bass has been around for quite a LONG FUCKIN TIME.

[rocketman8912]

@CobainLennon8094 not really. He would hate rap.

[CobainLennon8094]

@rocketman8912 How the hell would you know what he would like? He was a poet He'd prob love rap..

[smoothcriminal28]

one of the most magnetic people to ever grace humanity. a trur artist in every sense of the word.

[captainwre]

I feel like he was the most intelligent man to ever walk the earth...

[misterhiden54]

@captainwre Why? He said "irregardless" and that isn't even a real word. ;-)

[sta4ful]

@misterhiden54 It's a word, just an improper one. You can play it in Scrabble...

[misterhiden54]

@sta4ful Oh! It seems like you know a lot on that subject then.... I have been dying to know: can you use the word "scrabble" in scrabble?

[PacquiaoEPO]

Seriously a lot of stuff about Morrisson was stupid.

He sang pop music. In a pop band. The fact that psychedelic music seems cool now, isn’t the point. At the time, it was what school girls listened to.

His poetry only got published, as he published it himself. As it was so average.

He made up 90% of his life story, to try and sound like some “troubled rebel”. Lots of dumb stories about hating his parents, and his sister being dead, and seeing Indians being slaughtered. He made it all up.

[strife224]

@PacquiaoEPO dude gtfo noone needs your bullshit

[Conspiracytheorist91]

@PacquiaoEPO Don't come to this video just to troll. Don't talk shit about Jim Morrison. You're the stupid one, considering you have no idea what happened. He was there, were you? Gtfo.

[JnOProductions]

@PacquiaoEPO hahah you make me laugh dumbfuck

[santanaincubus]

@PacquiaoEPO What? Psychedelic music is what school girls listened to back in the 60s? they listened to the Grateful dead?, Pink Floyd?, Jefferson Airplaine?, Hendrix? etc. I dont think so, probly just The Doors, more like pop rock stuff like that and the Beatles, not Psychedelic Psychedelic.

[TheOzzyMania]

@PacquiaoEPO get a girfriend . u dumb hater. u only hate jim morrison coz u will never be JIM MORRISON !

[PacquiaoEPO]

Not everyone bought into the Morrison thing. He was a notorious liar, and fantacist, who made up 90% of the things he ever sung or wrote about. He invented scenarios and stories about his life, to create drama, theatre and hype. But a lot of fans bought into them a bit too much, and thought it was actually him. He was very middle class, had a very happy family life, and childhood, and his father was a colonel in the US army who used to go to all his shows ;)

[cassidy323]

@PacquiaoEPO everything you just said is the most stupid remark i have ever heard on jim morrison, if you were reall envolved and actually knew what went on you would be posting bullshit on his video, him and his father never had a stable relationship, and he was the most intelligent person to graduate out of ucla in his time with an IQ of 165, he knew what he was saying and he was the most real person on this earth, he hated people like you for a good reason

[MrMrmethodacting]

@PacquiaoEPO His dad never went to a single one of his shows...

[saintidiot]

We're sorry joaquin couldnt be here...

(;

[drunkDaniels92]

the greatest mind, spirit, and human being to ever live, jim morrison the true original rebel

[PacquiaoEPO]

@drunkDaniels92

He was a complete fake. Most of the stories he told, about his past, he simply made up, to create drama/theatre around himself.

He was a upper-middle class, white kid, from california, who made up stories about family tragedies, to get attention

[thegame52291]

Jim smokin a blunt, my nigga goin hard lmao....(and yes fucktards, i know its not a blunt)

[Drewer123]

@MrMightyFucker dont give too much credit to youtube man. the concept wasn't original, youtube happened to become the most popular organization that provides the service.

[CindyCin1015]

OH MY GOODNESS. Morrison PREDICTED what is now the 21st century TRASH that is now commercial music. WOW. Epic statement.

[kevsandwhorr]

He literally saw the future.

[winkledorf17]

I really wish I coulda sat down, philosiphised, conversed, and gotten ripped out stoned with Morrison. He's my hero.

[1954telecaster]

lmfao hes smoking a cigar?!

[psychospeakempire]

Listen to what he says at 3:00 Totally prophetic! He totally predicted DJ's and the digital music revolution way back in the dark ages of1969. Genius.

[Bringmebrady]

Jim, You are truely a visionary, as well as all of the members of The Doors, You guys made such a sound and an image of what you thought music should be about, and followed it with everything you guys did.

Wish I could have seen it for myself, All the best :]

[jonnyboyxxx]

one person? making music with machines? that would be trent reznor haha

[jamstock]

hair stood on end when he talked about making music with machines...

[BuddahSmoke27]

OMG he was DEAD on point with the future of this new *so called* music. WOW
