The Doors: Unknown Soldier

[00kennedy00]

thats the original video i believe, the one that was banned from being shown on TV (as I read in a Morrison biography)

anyone else think its kinda creepy that the clip ends with the 3 remaining (still living) doors members walking Morrison-less along the beach? almost prophetic in a way...

[alstagg04]

great anti vietnam war song!!

[augustina91]

I love those church bells during the end..one of their greatest work.

[angelwitch79]

Jim morrison was a prophet... he knew such a long time before now, what was wrong in the usa system...

[jpoux27]

You got ir right, a prophet

[augustina91]

war is madness..killing total strangers for some political goal..doesn`t sound so `civilised`does it?

anyway nice video..

[serbianhero1389]

is this like official music video?

[TheLizardKingMike]

I am THE LIZARD KING, I can DO ANYTHING.

I am Jim, among other people, just like YOU

Take it as it CUMS

Namaste.

[maskintyr]

why the fuck is this awesome music video Flagged?!?

[michellhero]

wAR 4 pEaCe

[cuzzit]

first ever promotional music video....and the record company didn't dig it and would not back it. this is a masterpiece for that time and our time as well.

[alby711]

we retreated to the words of snakes and thugs

when two steel birds burned three steel beams

funny, it seems we still forget that day

VOTE RON PAUL! FEED YOUR HEAD AND FREE YOUR MIND!

WHOEVER FLAGS THIS VIDEO'S A COWARD!

[DJKRIS2FUR]

REALITY IS A BITCH..

god bless all we lost and are serving!

peace

DJKRIS2FUR

[ChampionOfLight]

Flagged without reason...

Shame on the person(s) who did it

[Ravenhead1983]

I don't see why this video was flagged. It's a very powerful anti-war song and the video shows nothing but the grim reality of war: death.

This song is timeless. It resonated during Vietnam and now still hits home with the Iraq war going on. While we sit at home going about our lives, our troops are still dying, for many, the war is over.

[Quickbrownfoxx]

true, hear, hear

[dmiller60]

its jerks like you who ruin this world with your anti war bull crap. if it wasnt for us soldiers you jerks would be in a communist land unable to piss with out permnission. take a hike fool

[oSoxSwoosh]

War may be a necessary evil, but is it more evil than necessary? To say that anti-war people are what ruins this world is both ironic and tragic. As long as we hold such old dogmatic ideas like yours we will always be a world full of war. Do you really think we can grow as a species when we are at each others throats?

[slofox]

Yeah we in the motherfucking army knows..

i mean we should use more nuke ..

cause killing millions of people like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki brings peace and peace is better for everybody. And without war we would live in communist states i believe i haven't really read anything in history about why/how communism is established in different countries. any way the army says it's good so that's what i believe, i can't really make up my own opinion.

[Quickbrownfoxx]

Look at your self absorbed psychosis, Is there anything wrong with hoping for a better world? We aren't free because of fools like you, Who watch the world burn and try to put out the fire with gasoline.

[sephiroth5188]

you're right. we need war

[Quickbrownfoxx]

Open your minds, this is a work of art and is not meant to be censored in any way shape or form, Shame on whoever flagged this.

[swissbird101]

why the hell did they flag this?

[dimbalabiem]

maybe it's because of the execution scene?

I see no other reason...

[edlyons]

me gusta mucha tambien.. EEUU...

[prede89]

this should not be flagged...hmmm

[DeathToISLAM666]

it was prob flagged cause there is american soldiers in it and god knows nobody wants to see them. especialy in vietnam. america committed more war crimes than any other country.

[dvinedzine]

This video is brilliant. Few were doing things like the Doors were doing in '68. What Jim and Ray could have done in the '80's with music videos--Jim would have loved it, I think. (He was gorgeous in this, btw. *blush*)

[acerb45666555]

sweeeet!!5*****  Peace!!

[wfwqfwqfwfwe]

Why is this flagged?

[acerb45666555]

The idiot who flagged it is probably some christian conservative "Okie" from some backwoods swamp,who cant handle the Sixties coming back!! Peace Now!! End The War!!

[ojorojojojo]

q buena critica directa y precisa!!!

[HeresStella]

Si, perfecto critica.

[fatherbigley]

the message of this song,like fortunate son and war pigs, is as relevant today as it was in 1968.

[Renatomuvucao]

Uma canção que critica essa guerra estupida e sem sentido que foi a Guerra do Vietnã...

[NGURRO]

Is the first time that I see this Video of "the Unknown soldier ". Jim is so great ...I love the Doors

[netaquesi123]

NO NO NO ESTE VIDEO ESTA POKA MADRE

[HansRuediger1]

confirm birthdate??

[MyStars72]

Yeah, what the hell?!

[wirbelwindbattleship]

Because Jim gets "shot"?

[nanuuq2]

I saw this movie in a coffee shop in Yorkville Toronto in 1968. This is the first time i have seen it since, and am so thankful for youtube bringing back to the public these great images.

p.s. The Doors were my favourite group in high schoool

[paeja91]

the doors are great

[specter1001]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[kwt800]

The video has no reason to be flagged as inappropriate.

[tanjaguven]

In response to morrisons girlfriend, I thought there was a much bigger similarity to St. Sebastian shot full of arrows than Christ.

[scwomanchangeling]

The song is a classic it's message transends time. Whoever flagged it as inappropriate needs to wake up this is the real world. The Doors are only showing people the truth.

[bloodwillspill565]

I agree.... this song speaks. Great Video and defiantly agreat band and song.

[rick3001]

So true. Most people miss that the Doors weren't really trying to be shocking or outrageous. They were trying to be real. Not TV real, but real world real.

[irishmike1982]

i just wanted to tell u that u got it rite on the head .thats all it was

[HeyDork]

3:42. i love his expression.

[Zeppelinrules984]

I guess that some people deem something like this a little gorey for some people's tastes. That's why it was flagged. but the problem is that the supposed great American machine has flagged the truth and reality of what really happened in Vietnam and the latest war in Iraq. And it still does. I remember this song when it came out in '68 and the velocity the war in Vietnam was having. Great video

[Skyflyer69]

The only thing inappropriate about this video is the person who flagged it!  What's up with that??

[joefromcofosho]

Why would somone flag this vid?

[RSG2006]

Ah, it was probably some soccer Mom who flagged it who objected to Jim's hair not being combed.

[morrisonsgirlfriend]

Maybe I'm a misbeliever but I think that shooted Morrison looks like crucified Jesus.

[Neo9056]

Who cares what he looks like Who cares if one chooses to Show themself crucified theres no such thing as "obscene" whats obscene to one man may be acceptable to another no one has the right to say what Obscene what should be censored

[Neo9056]

If you dont like it simply watch something else if it is too "obscene" for you you do still have the will power;The mind power? to do that dont you? or are you just another zombie?

[morrisonsgirlfriend]

Hey, don't be so nervous. I just said, that to me he looks like Jesus. I love this video. And Jim Morrison as a poet is a genius. You know, he's a poet not only when he writes poems or songs. But his poetry is also in the way he sings, in their videos, espacially in this one, maybe even in his "modus vivendi". I like his sensitivity. He's showed me many things. I'd like to write someday something like this video.

[darionap]

it's terrific!

[ePhilosopher]

do flack jackets deteriorate? doesn't have everybody have one? does that kevlin material deteriorate at the rate of athe price of a toilet seat? Socrates? Nietzsche?

[misfitfan9865]

y dont u stand up??

[danibono]

bang!

[lukeeh]

According to Hunter Thompson, Jim Morrison and The Doors were a band that could play with the Gods. Im inclined to agree.

[LETT3RB0MB]

"The country right now stands war just like it did in the 70's. We all just want it to be over. No more death. Nobody stands up. Jim did. Anybody else? "

sigh, u sheep, do u really believe in the ideals of a entertainer? u follow to easy.

great song though

[mkin88]

listen to his music it is his poetry, read his books he was a genius! just a bit out of control in his day

[Lucasicosa]

we shouldn't always follow entertainers in their ways and beliefs. but it is true that the culture we now live in barely pays any attention to these problems, and thats really horrible. I mean, should people believe in the message of Jay-Z or beyoncé? no! the popular culture does not believe in peace or happines but in money and thats why somebody should stand up! and tell the people what the real problem is.

[rick3001]

If u looked closer u would understand he wasn't just an entertainer.

Interesting u should call them a sheep. People usually are what they denounce in others.

[slick3xexx]

The country right now stands war just like it did in the 70's. We all just want it to be over. No more death. Nobody stands up. Jim did. Anybody else?

[littlecave]

it's art

truely ariet

[pirate711]

what

[14JackB]

Jim is the best and LEE tgp should know not to judge a person for his being but for his accomplishments and Jim's music and lyrics speak for themselves.

[Aylie19]

Hey leeTGP cock breath. Jim is a god and i dont care what you say.

[tcwest]

Imagine his contributions had he managed to get through that period of Crash-and Burn that we all went through.

[bbwez]

he may have done alot of things in his lifetime, but until you experience acid you can`t comment on anything, it truely is a path to realise what the world is really like!

[joebonk]

woah, are you joking?!

[julithium]

T_T

[MainStreetMonochrome]

great video -very sophisticated for it's time. Manzarek was obviously the driving force.

[TheMachRider]

Ummmmmmmmm...

Nah.

[bluesguitarguy]

He was, if it wasn't for Manzarek i doubt it they would have been so great.

[TulipOHare]

Manzarek and Morrison.

[LeeTGP]

the war aint over dumbass. morrison lived as he had died, wasted and senseless. that's why he bacame famous. he had hidden desires to start a revolution. but couldn't even be drafted into nam because he pleaded homosexuality. with a shot of heroine, he died in paris on 1971.

[sandrup]

The song is about the unknown soldier's war being over because he's dead not about the whole war. Listen closer, i think you'll like it.

[27lizardking87]

LeeTGP your so fu*king out of you mind. first off morrison didnt die of a heroin overdose. second he dodged the draft in order to make mesmerezing music, and to stand up for what he believed in. fu*k nam, anyone who knows anything knows we shouldnt have been there. and third he is famous because he was a great poet and a genius unlike you who cant even understand the lyrics to a song

[ThatFrogNamedEd]

27lizardking87, I completely agree with you. In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, "you're one smart motherf*cker."

[JohnnyOhio]

Thank you for posting...peace...

[edude203]

Great song !!! doors rule

[KFCisallisee]

[HeyDork]

[yazzata]

[joesTV]

Im sure they made a decent dime off this tune. Its all over for the unknown soldier, but Jimmy is gettin paid nigga! What a disgrace.

[bunterx]

he's dead so he cant spend it! any money made from this track would have been after his death so his parents would get it and his dad was a US Admiral: the known soldier!

[arabjon]

pure musical brillance

[madabox]

damn, funny how the present day imitates the past, Its also funny how a draft changes peoples minds on wars.

[benjaher]

exactly the shabazz, nice vid, mixed with vietnamand second worl war scenes

[lightmyfire1967]

seriously, if ur acid why the fuck wood u b on the internet

[Moustasha]

Jim Morrison said freedom could be found in a schoolbook.

[tonyntess]

This was a Doors produced promo film to promote the single. TV networks would not play it because it was too graphic. Moron execs. Don't forget, Ray and Jim were film school grads from UCLA. They were brilliant.

[jonnystranger]

old school-way cool!

[Shakyamuni]

omg! thats good

[elbartoo]

TOO FUKIN GOOD

[HeyDork]

Know your classics kiddos.

[fishcake14]

You don't need the internet when you're on acid, noob.

[7forheaven]
