Full Very Rare Jim Morrison Interview Part 1 Of 5

[giuseppi77]

Being from New Orleans myself, I LOVE their discussion in the beginning.

[everybodyhasone]

01:00 jims mobilephone rings

[cockyhemi]

"Get the scissors". Lol.

[SeanMontyPython]

he died a year after this... so sad...

[butterflyawaywithme]

I love u James Douglas Morrison....RIP

[ChArLieR0mAna]

first time ive seen a photo of pam.... man they casted that movie perfect.

[ms3pugz]

Hard to believe he was 26 in this interview...most 40-50 year olds don't speak so articulately today....So nice to hear him speaking. He had such a calm, soothing, peaceful way of speaking...Love you Jim....

[gerri0606]

As A Great Fan, I miss Jim Morrison I loved to hear his family Talk about how Brilliant he was as I listen to the Video I have to Say Yes He was. Its sad when A Person Die's but It is part of Destiny dont you think. We do Not Pick are days on this planet. He will always And Forever be in so many hearts. Mine For sure

[ms3pugz]

@gerri0606 Mine too...we lost a remarkable talent, and an intellectual. I have been reading every book about Jim and The Doors I can find, and he was so intelligent. I believe had he lived, he would not have continued on with The Doors, but he would have turned to writing and his poetry full time. He also predicted so many things that are true today. I read some of his interviews and was blown away..he was a visionary for sure.

[bear022013]

 As an Irish American who lived thru the Jim Morrison era,I BECOME MAUDLIN at best when he can be seen/heard/what have you.He did not deserve to die so young.

[MrAjh420]

3:28 "elevators are kind of... voctorian rocket ships" ...!! nice metaphor jim!!!

[susan462]

I could listen to him talk all day, he had an intelligence mixed with a very mellow and soothing way of speaking..

[EmmaRose473]

@susan462 Yeah, I totally agree!

[VaderMode1]

Jim could be impetuous and sarcastic, just based on what I myself as a fan have read and heard.... Seems to try his best to "irk" the interviewer, in an innocuous way...At this point in his career, he seemed so tired of the monotony of his "rock star" image...But what do I know??!!! Wish he was around to witness the iconic stature he has accumulated, and divulge his thoughts about the silly notion of "fanboy journalism" ..peace out

[PeterRoeder31]

This is amazing.

[DXhardy831]

10:30 who did that picture thats so cool

[catbeasy]

Morrison is one of the few souls that everyone wants a piece of because everyone, or everyone who's cool ; ) sees a bit of themselves in him. Too bad the drink got him. It has no respect of persons. If he could have turned that corner, he probably would have continued a brilliant career as an artist. Maybe could have kept Manzarek from losing his mind..!

[izer999]

27th floor . the number 27 ?

[meethead]

Rrrrrriiiiiinggggg....Jim, it's god...you're late.

[mrgonzo251]

I love how sarcastic Morrison can be when he appears to be serious. Its all in his delivery and his rhythmic pulse in the conversation

[Drhamburgerhill]

its how most of us talk in canada to.... tv talk........glad jim broughted that up....ive always wondered about it

[tarzanmorrison]

I know it's been said before, but this interview is the best insight into who Jim really was that I've encountered. What a bummer that he's not around now. He, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Keith Moon could've formed a helluva band.

[rfwagnerjr]

I, Roger Houston, do now, at this time, lift my ears to hear the voice of truth, easily recognized. Nearing Sagittarius, months away. What a brilliant mind, and what difficulty connecting the lucid mindfulness with the alleged reputation. Happy thanksgiving, brothers and sister. go out and give thanks.

[Mcfirefly2]

Get off here, Famousbum!!!

[jsilence418]

If it weren.t for the timbre of Morrisons voice, I wouldn't believe it was him thanks for the posts.

[bella8994]

It's awesome to hear him talk. I wonder what he would of been doing if he was still alive. He was gone too soon.

[Rush1013]

I love how Jim just controlled this interview. If he didnt like a question, he would change the subject and talk about what he felt like talking about.

[TheKenney81]

this was actually 1969

[Fallen714]

Awesome,not enough jim interviews.

[Nevermindit132]

ten minutes into it i forget his band was even there...

[Nevermindit132]

[1982jeremylee]

jim was so awesome

[k4nobenjoe]

evry1 has an opinion but the fact is 40 fukin years later jim morrison still got us guessin askin wonderin an wantin more!!!the guy is was an will continue 2 b an enigmatic charasmatic fukd up legend!!!

[onyxescence]

@k4nobenjoe I think the problem was he wasn't prepared to become a mini god which is what happened to him. He seems very humble actually and all the adoration probably made him feel very isolated and confused like 'what happened, where am i'?

[famousbum]

All the antecedent reprehensions and malvesions of the abhorrent, chantruse bracherations continually represented in this maltuse continuuim, are but the aborriginal splendiforications of underhramorgue flume-like burnishments in symbiotic response.

If you people don't understand plain English, I don't know what to tell you.

[Chrisdrumz]

The interviewr is Ben Fong Torres from Rolling Stones. It wasn't planned,they just happened to both be at a mutual friends house and Torres asked for an interview.

[superduck77777]

@Chrisdrumz - Nah, this is an interview by Howard Smith done for the Village Voice at The Door's office in LA in late 1969. The one you're thinking of is from early 1971, it's on youtube somewhere.

[jasonlammons]

Jim was telling what he did, went into EXHILE... Ray wrote a book, "The Poet in Exhile"...

[HeavySabre70]

I bet if Jim hadn't died at 27and was still alive today as a man approaching old age, people would have a completely different perspective about him. I don't think he would have that same kind of Demi/rock God status that he has now. There would be a much more down to earth & realistic view of him. But because he died so young and at the peak of rock stardom, time has helped to create the myth that he has become.

[scratchman90]

to the one person that disliked this..suck all of our cocks.

[in2dionysus]

Vigilance Jim, Everyone hates it to which no one gets enough of it in any case!

[idkwatmynameshudbe7]

When i was trying to go to sleep i put this on.... I find jims voice very relaxing...

[Dansilverbabe]

Thanks for posting these..he has a mystical voice i'm enthralled with him.

[4mydoors]

I live in NEW ORLEANS ,and its pretty cool to hear him talk about it,and say he liked it,"IT WAS A PRETTY COOL TOWN,I HAD A GOOD TIME THERE." I bet he did.DOORS FOREVER

[Mr8bitgamer]

I wish jim was still alive and clean, he was a briljant guy and he deserved a good life.

[leviwallner]

he did have a good life. idiot.

[Mr8bitgamer]

@leviwallner Someone who's addicted to drugs and alcohol with a good life? But yeah... the only way to know if he had a good life, you've gotta ask Jim himself.

[bugogorac]

@Mr8bitgamer Perhaps the reason Morrison was so brilliant is that he wasn't clean and lived fast and died young.

[vg7211]

@Mr8bitgamer thats very subjective man. his reklessness was a whole part of him. without that part, without the booze or drugs, we wouldnt remember morrison as we do today. but by sayin that i do not mean that it was good that he did it.

[BuyBenco]

Yea all this bullshit aboput the south is fucking gay n if that interviewer believes it he's some brainwashed stupid ass stuck up california queer

[SUPERRMAN61]

What album is he talking about, perhaps L.A Woman or maybe Morrison Hotel.

[dummytree]

@SUPERRMAN61 "Morrison Hotel"

[sallygirl2066]

i wonder what would jim morrison be like as a father too bad he died before he ever got married and had kids i miss jim the movie that oliver stone made maked jim like a high drugged up sleeping with every single girl around guy this interview makes him sound like a normal guy

[AllieBanks]

@sallygirl2066 jim morrison has alot kids from different women i dont know if he was ever a father to them though

[sallygirl2066]

@AllieBanks I know he made alot of women pregnant but I mean like in a real relationship like with pam they get married have kids he didnt die that would be what I would have wished that happened but everything happens for a reason

[rokritr]

Gotta love the Internet.....this interview took place in November of 1969. For years, it's been mislabeled as being from 1970 (and continues to be).

[MattieManhattan]

@rokritr This is true.

[MrEspenBakke]

Is it just me or does that interviewer have an extremely annoying "hmm"?

[sallygirl2066]

@MrEspenBakke yeah he does didnt listen but now i hear it

[oddsource]

fucking awesome just his interviews are poetry in itself very colorful speech!

[Finnstudios]

Would this be on a Vinyl that would come with the magazine?

[dummytree]

@Finnstudios No, but it did come out as a CD in the early 90s.I've had it for years.

7: 11 "get the scissors". lol

[csjts]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davelazio]

i think its funny how detailed he describes everything, hes so high

[liverwort4600]

The audio quality & content brings to mind the short wave radio recording of Colonel Kurtz's ramblings at the beginning of  "Apocalypse Now".

[SergeantReese]

This must be very early 1970, as Morrison mentions the Madison Square Garden performance on January 17/18, 1970. Great interview, thanks for posting.

[eazyduzzit33]

i watch a lot of Tv i try n obey the norm ya know.....whaaat?

[SamsonOff7]

@eazyduzzit33 what part does he say that?

[67LAmericarosegirl]

this is great..

[TheBebelaura]

nahhh....jims trying to make it informal, and this guy tried at first, but he just cant lol. makes me feel bad for jim in a way

[Faeden]

@TheBebelaura What do you mean? I think in a way the interviewer does sound a little mundane, but most people speaking alongside Jim would sound pretty mundane if you know what I mean?

[huntAblunt]

@TheBebelaura

damn it, the interviewer sounds like alan harper from 2 and a half men^^lmao..imagnie alan to do an interview with him....

[Faeden]

Part 2 is in the description.
